BRIEF
S. Allied Military Assistance.
In the 000upation of any coastal nos where
enemy form ars in control, it appears that only minor
military assistance can be expiated from Chinese sources.
4. Existing Installations.
Prewar structures era In such a state of dis-
repair or damage as to bo of negligible value. Some
usehlt warehouses, and buildings suitable for adminie-
trative use or for conversion to hospitals might escape
destruction in tho occupation of Amoy and Yin-listen (ging-
po). A basic road (listen exists in the coastal area, but
has been destroyed as shown on the accompanying Drawing
Mo. P-2. dilation II of this report contains eetintes
on the reconstruotion of this Toad system.
B. Interior Suifily.
(a) Tne best land routs in the territory to
supply the interior of China involve, the capture and
rehabilitation of the Chekiang-Klangal Railroad, ths
construction of one now highway and the improvement of
two others from Nimrod Sound to the Railroad. Parts
of this railroad ars now operated by Chinese and parte
by Japaneas (cross. This would also afford gooses to
approximately 10 additional sites for the construction
of MLR bomber bases along the railroad route, in ho.
Th-shan - Chiu-halso area. Insineerlog considerations
on this railway are covered in Seotioo II-H.
(b) The above route should handle 10,000 tons
of supplies per day from Nierod Sound. Two other main
routes ire practicablet
(1) Prom Amoy --three roads should handle
6000 tons per day.
(E) Prom dames Inlet?one road should
handle 1100Q tons per dayti
6. peaches end Landing Arne.
(s) One of the detrimental features at the
Southeaat Chins Coast is the lath of good landing beaches.
Generally speaking, the beaches from Ish-oh,Ing (PutsIng -
1187-431, 1197-11,1) north to Honcho, are mud, while
south of Pu-shsing approximately 40% of the beaches are
of mud sod 60% are of sand. fee to centuries of extensive
cultivation in interior China, large quantities of alluvial
soil and silt have been washed out to sea by the rivers.
Consequently, extensive mud banks may be encountered in all
harbor areas. Many thanes, bonver, do have a fairly steep
gradient between -am and highest water (approxintely OA
hours preceding and vi hours* after high tide for the Amy
area), and may be used safely at these tides for landing
croft up to Ind includiog_ICTs. Below an water these
(nachos may shoal rapidly and even though they are onerod
with wither at L.L.W., the depths are not sufficient for
satisfactory operations.
SEC. I ? BRIEF (CONTINUED)
(b) As most of the landing areas (jetties) and
beaches are not fortified or defended by the sneaky (as of
1 October 1944), it eppaare quite feasible to select suit-
able areas and tides for successful personnel and light
equipment loadings. Tide. are semi-diurnal, with two
highs and two lows per 04-hour day. Springs average
16s and Neaps 10, in the harbors along the ?oast.
(See Supplemsntary Data, III-H.)
7. TYPO of Troops.
Due to the destruotion of all roads (and in
most cons even the footpaths for other than limited
toot traf(ic), infantry would appear to be the only
type of troops satisfactory for use in the initial
phases. linginser troops and equipment should be
landed and utilised as soon as poesible.
0. Resources. Labor and Materiel Anistann.
In the occupation and expeditious development
of any of the contel area. under eonsideration and the
rehabilitation of the interior supply routes, United
States Pones must plan on bringing in sufficient .sr-
visa and engineer troops lath equipment and supplies
to initiate all the work. Assistance say be expected
from Chinese labor, but in Lbe early stages cannot be
evaluated. IAter, in the operation, maintenance and
improvement of installations, Chimes assistence en
take a greater part.
D. RECOMMENDATION8
1. Based on engineering and development consider-
ations, and on enemy dispositions am-of 10 September 1914,
amended to 28 October 1944 areas are noommened In the
order listed on the chart under CQNCLUSIOX3.
2. AREAS "B" and "E" effort/ little more than air
bass developments, and may be odoupled and improved in
oonjunotion with Fleet Besse. They ale so situated
as to be supplied by water routes.
3. In the light of extensive delays enoountored
in many previous acquisitions of land for military
installations, and since virtually all ?commended
for development are owned and occupied by Chinese
nationals, it is rsoommended that a board consisting
of two Chinese and two American member, be formed with
full authority to acquire and permit occupation of lend
within ons week after formal request is filed.
4. Due to the nano, of large built-up lending
areas an low rice land adjoining many of the landing
sites, couplsd with the destruction of all coastal
roads, a minimum of military motorised equipment
should be landed in the initial phases of the oper-
ation. This condition, ho , dons not hold in
general for Amoy Island, Wel-tsou (Hutton) Point or
Othau Point, as a usable road system still exists on
Amoy Island; and motorised equipment can move nor the
cultivated nen (sandy loam rolling country) on Wel-
Von and Othsu Points. Construstion equipment to re-
pair roads and drain rice fields should be landed as
soon as practioable after the initial plias... Ion.
porary pontoon docks should be oonstructed for early
operation until permanent structures aro available.
. As the areas under oonsideretion in this re-
port are largely in enannmainated territory, complete
and exact surveys for the best possible locations of
intonations in some oases could not be made. However,
all arias were physically visited and installations have
ben shown in feasible locations. Detailed engineering
studies and surveys-aftn_ounation may indloats a more
offielent.plan.

(b) The port direotor may be suitably located
just across Junk Channel on high ground lying on the west-
ern *atrocity of Nei Shin Island. The northeow-shoro of
Nei Shan Island provides a location for msphibioue craft,
an area for the net and boom depot, and a ramp for landing
craft. There Is also a VLR dual runway airfield lite on
the southwestern part of Mei Shan which will provide good
air communication' for the Naval Base headquarter.. As
shown on Drawing No. PA-1, a tanker mooring for two tanker.
and a dock 1800 ft. long providing unloading space for
throe AN. are looatsd on the southarn shore of the eastern
tip of-the Peninsula. Push tanks may be ?rooted on the

3. Air Bases.
(a) Under Paragraph 6 it le pointed out that
the neutralisation and occupation of Chou-shan (Chusen)
Island is the kay to the ooeupation of the Nimrod Sound
Area. The mow airfield (approx. S80(0.1260') on this
island gill than be available for VP and other carrier-
beeed plan... A study of the avoilablo 1.60,000 scale
maps and serial photographs indioate that an additional
"'rhos" vith parallel runways can be oonstruotsd about
6 miles southeast of the present field. It is recom-
mended that this oonstruetion be carried out.
(b) As shown on Drawing Mo.- PA-1, [la. are
three airfield sites immediately adjaoont to Nimrod
Sound. In the valley to the northeast of Sing-hal
it ls possible to construct three parallel runways
for SLR, with minimum disband Women 'motor lines
of 1000 ft. Sand and stone are available within a
radius of ons mile. Tb. soil In this valley Al, a
large percentage of river-washed gravel present
In its palace.
to) Aviation gasoline could be "applied by
lbw vonstrution of s pipe line fron a pumping station
located approximately B miles up the bay at Adam Point
(200-31,11, 1210-41.1). Other supplies may be brought
to this airbags by barges or WT. landing at high tide
near Hu Chia* Tau (290.234, 1210-2101), or by truck.
traveling over the road leading seit -Iron the werohouse
area to Yang-men (260-36111, 1910-26'1) and then south
to Krug flung (20.solp, 121*-26(1).
(d) The second airbags site is located just'
north of the tidal river, Tal Sung Song, which empties
Into the Sound Net east or Ill Shin Island. Dual pun-
ways of 6000 ft. length may be.constructed hare. Th.
area is low and must be filled, but sand and stone are
available immediately adjacent to the site. Supplies
may be brought in by trucks from the warshouse area
or by barges and LCT. from-the sea at high tides.
(e) The third site is looated on Atli Shan
Island, where dual runways soy be constructed for ?
length of 800U ft. Supply to this site mat be by
barge or LCT.
(f) All four of these fields are within 150
miles of Shanghai, 600 miles of Negasoki, and 1100
mile. of Tokio.
4. Supply and Base for interior China Oyerations.
(a) The interior supply dock site and warehouse
arse is ehown on Drawing No. Pa-1. The terrain and depths
of eater along the northern shore of Nimrod jound just
southwest of Nimrod Island ere suitable for the construc-
tion of ten finger piers. The elopes along this shore are
fairly steep, and the space necessary to provide access to
the piers must be obtained by blasting. The material re-
moved will be used to fill out into the Sound and this
eliminate the irregularities of the shore line. The road-
way thus formed can be connected to the valley just north
of the dock site wherein ample space is provided for the
construction of warehouse' to accomodate 25,000 tons of
supplies. In order to supply io,000 tons per day to in-
terior China via the Chskiang-Klungel Railroad it will be
necessary to construct and/or improve two 4-lane truck
routes 18)(improve) and (C)ine.), and rehabilitate
Route (A) to a 2-lane highway. (See Drawing No. PA-3).
(b) A whitened description of Route (B)
(1) Beginning at Sang-thou (10?-44'N,
1210-24,R), the Japanese have repaired the present
road leading weetword to pa-maa, Ch'eng-halen, Lu-chs,
Tung-yang and I-vu--which is on the railroad. The bridges
on this route were designed for b tons; all ?ridges will
hava to be otrengthened, and widened to accommodate t,(r
lanes of traffic. Construction battalions may be aim-
weed along thie route with comparative ease once the
bridges have been strangttened to carry heavy ccnntruction
equipment. Sufficient rock for surfacing can be found
inmediately adjacent to the road throaLoat it. lshgth,
but very little timber I. found on this route. bulvtlog
grades and curves are not prohibitive, but eons rel cation
will be necessary.

the route to restore due to the fact that it tro-

the enemy strengths and dispositions in the entire Area.
Total. are 2,143 Jape and 7,300 puppets. The loyalty
of tbe puppets to the enemy may be questioned, as puppet
loaders were In contact with loyal Chinese leaders while
Captain Painter was in the arse. Vitt any show of fore.
on lending, it iu believed that the import,' mould desert

(3) The Nimrod Area (AREA "A") has been
ehown on Drawing No. 9-2 to include considerably more
than the areas adjacent to the Sound. Although the Sound
la most important as it would afford an anchorage for the
Fleet and provide Fleet shore installations and unloading
facilities for AX,, it Is recommended that to. area (in-
cluded in the boundary given for AREA "A") northwest of
the Sound, embracing Tal She! Shan Channel end the level
ground to the west, should also he occupied. This would
provide largo bivouac areas, ? supply docking area, and
would close off such from the enemy preventing his
use of them for building up oountor-attaoking units in
force. This as= westward to the Tung River wan not
=noted by the may as of Sept. 1, 1944.

(4) AREA 'A" also Inoludes the cities
of Ming-he and Tin-heten (Mingpo). Ning-hal, at WO
head of the Sound, is the headquarters of (*oral Yu;
it is unoccupied by the enemy as of Sept. 1, 1944 and
affords a good base for airfields.(Oround Is alluvial;
gravel about 12" under the surface.) The area must be
reached by landing craft at high tides where landings
can easily be effected along the dikes and jetties at
Hou Chian Too. The highway from Ming-hal to Yin-I-mien
can be readily repaired.
(5) The city of Yin-helen (Nino), with
a reported 1938 population of 260,000 Is lightly held
by the enemy as is Chen-hai, it the mouth of the Yung
River (Sept.1). The rapid occupation of these cities
and the defense of the two major routes leading to the
area would give U.S. Forces a large Is= tc devel,r) end
build up sufficient foroes to eventually clean up the
area south of the Chit= T'ang River and open the
Chekiang-Kling= Railroad to form a juncture with the
Chinese Third gar Zone Command at Vuan-.ban (I8?-10N,
1170.44iE). (See Railroad report, 11-0-2) This route,
both railroad and highway, is the logical supply line
to central China.
(6) The southwest side of the Round has
little development possibilities except those adjacent t);
Wedusa Creek and tho proposed oil storage installations.
It should be occupied for defense purposes only. It dr..
not appear that the Japanese in Shipu Harbor are in suf-
ficient for= (as of 28 Oct.), nor is the terrain rorth

drained before heavy equipment can be amployed to any
advantage. Once the rice paddy soil is dry it becomes
quite stable and will support heavy loads. Construction
plans must include raising runways, taxiways, hardstands
and roads approximately 2 feet above the present ground
surface.

(a) The natural resources in the Niarod Area
oonsist only of rook and sand. The rock is a hard sand-
stone; the sand is fair for concrete and Is found in U.
Inland etreams. The sand would have to be transported
by truck or barge to the work sites along Nimrod bound.
(b) There is practically no timber in the
vicinity of Nimrod Bound. Native bricks are made in
small quantities. Lime le obtained in small quam,ities
by burning abelle.
(o) All materiels except sand and stone must
be brought in by the landing fortes.
(d) Once tie area Is taken there wilg be
approxiastely 100,000 native unskilled laborers that
may be utilised to an advantage. Vary little skilled
labor will be found, possibly 1000 stone masons and
1600 carpenters.

WENCHOW TO HAFMEN
H. Beaches and Landing Areas.
(a) Beaches in this area are nearly all com-
posed of mud, except where the rocky steep-to shores
extend into the water. Extensive mud flats, drying at
low tide, are prevalent and all work must be coordinated
mith the tides. Wenchow has a substantial retaining wall
along its eaterfront and at least 0a0 suitable pontoon
wharf. Depths alongside at L.W. are 12 feet. (see Photos)
The area for the proposed naval base Is usable as ? beach
at nearly all tides as It has deep ester just offshore.
The beaches at Sancho. Tao are usable at high tidos and
several stone jetties have been extended out, so that
landing craft could approach at low water.
(b) At Hai-men the beaches slang the river are
steep and landings, at HI., can be effsoted on the dikes.
Here again several pontoons are available.
(c) The head of Lo-oh'ing Hay dries at L.W. and
is usable only at H.V. There is a mall channel at Deng-
aha that could be dredged to allow landing ?raft to ap-
proach the proposed reap at all tides.

(a) Bess of deception
(1) The'sesst halts the port of Somehow
eith a reported strength of 10,000 (Oct. 911). As shown
to the CBI. 04 RoPort (see Natio( III-0), this city
is linked by an enemy supply line to the Chin-ha (limbos)
area where there are a reported 12,000 (Oct. 96)
troops. This supply lino is weak as it uses only native
trail. over the mountains( the blgbesy from Li.shni being
sompletely destroyed, so artillery of any large caliber
can readily be brought over these tralla, althou0 foot
infantry may be employed.

twees lionabov and Sal-sen is beldame bends (as of
Oct. 114). It san be occupied at any time without dif-
ficulty free the sea, troops disembarking both at Lo-
skiing Say and Rai .111eft. Prom Isi-msn, troops may also
proceed by river routs to Lin-bland occupy the air-
field sites to the nortimest.
(b) Mess of Defense

either %nohow nor ettsek from Pa-Iso (his
northern line). As pointed out above, the Menthes
area is not readily reinforced boa land, but defenses
must be est up in the passes to prevent swam Rosh re-

should be somplooted as rapidly as possible for a peel-
meter defense and *apply route., Prost Pa-Mao to Lin -141.

would prevent rapid movement of essay troops fro, the

ways, the area to the wasteard of ARIA th? Is quite
mountsinous--no roads esist *gust mountain footpaths.

7. Construction Effort and Tile Illetot.
(a) The development of LISA '11 offers no un-
usual construction problems. Extended wet weather would
delay construction due to the flat terrain, extensive
rice paddies arid mete.
(b) All areas must be adequately drained
before heavy equipment can be advsntageously employed.
The canals are all on the sue level and can easily be
blocked by filling. After the rise paddy sail le dry
it becomes stable and .111 support heavy loads. It
will be necessary for the runways, taxiway, and hard-
stands in the airbases near Poncho' and on the island
In the river to be raised approximately 3 feet shove
the present ground sirface. A raise of 2 feet is con-
sidered sufficient for the remaining airbus' and roads.
(o) The rate of construction of airbus' will
be determined prissrily by tbe rate at 'blob stone may
be crushed for surfacing, and it is recommended that
?rusher units that are brought in be not less than
60 ou.yds. per hour capito. Scraper pans of 12 ou.yd.
and catmoity a ou.yd. draglines will be suitable for
work on the airbags'. Ina ids and trucks will be nacos,
sary for the transportation of crushed stone. (See Sup-

Namkwan Harbor (270-10.11, 120? -2690 is a deep
clear water harbor extending inland in a westerly direction
approximately 13 miles from the coast. The harbor for the
first five miles averages about 3/4 of ? mile wide, with
depths from 6 to 20 fathoms. Only one or two shoal patches
are evident, end they could be buoyed readily. (bee H.0.3208)

Ca) The Ares comprises Sams& Inlet (also known
as sin.ty..0) and such surrounding land area as is con-
sidered nec aaaaa y for its defines. This area, of approx-
imately 1100 square miles, is boosted on the Chins Coast
between latitudes 26?-66, North and 26%20, lorth.
(b) Charts (2.0. 2666 and 2667) were used
during the reoonnaisaanos. These charts were checked
on the site for socursoy and are believed to be the most
reliable maps published covebing this /res. L.L3. 4Wps,

able for the south ohm of the Inlet only. Available
Chinese maps are not reliable.
(c) No satisfactory serial photo overage of
the area existed at the tine of the preparation of this
report. Serial coverage is soheduled to be flown by
the 14th U.S.A.L.P.
(d) Santa Inlet is a body of water forming
an extensive basin which Is entered from the southeast
by a deep channel approximately lk elle. wide. This
basin, although broken by numerous islands, bays, and
foul ground, nonetheless affords in its central section
s good fleet anchorage. The shores of the inlet are
generally hilly and steep-to, rising to mountain reaps
in the interior. The land sdjsoint to ths shore is
terraced and extensively Cultivated. &Mem, the
rugged character of the shore is suffloiently modified
within those even designated on the adjoining drawings
to make the construction of the following proposed in-
stallations feasible.

s ileteehmsat of defense troops, these installations
are shoes on the essompenying drawing. The ragged
nature of the remainder of the island is unsuited
for eonstrustIon sites.
Cl) The administration area and the
Port Director are located along the flat shore adjacent
to San-tu-ao village on ground occupied by destroyed
Custom Houses. This group would be served by the pres-
ent stone jetty and quay. The receiving ship area is
located in a cove on the west shore stmewhat removed
from the administration group. Radio communications
have been located on elevated ground, slightly removed
from the administrative group. The storage and per-
sonnel housing areas lie in the flat valley running
inland from the village of thin-tu.ao. This valley
rises to a gap near the saddle of the island which
would permit a connecting road to a similar cultivated
flat on the northeast coast. Rent a 1000-bed hospital
And additional 'personnel housing could be accommodated.
The D.Y. installations could be located on the heights
overlooking the storage area.
(2) A 1,200 foot supply dock is proposed
in 6 fathoms of water on the south shore of Mount Stevens
Peninsula near in. present Texaco sal Standard Oil in-
- titillation,. This dock would be connected to the supply
area ons half mile distant by a road along the toast. A
finger dock for personnel could be located at King Point
on the extreme southwest tip of the Wend. This dock
would serve the receiving ship area Immediately north
as well as the CB base and mbeinistrative group. The
existing 'tons jetty located at the proposed adninis-
trative area is in good condition and is adequate for
light draft craft.

(d) ?ibbeld Island areg: Situated on the
east coast of Sibbald Island are acceptable building
sites in the crews which have easy access to the deep
water of Bowri4 Channel. Ship repair facilities,
tine depot, ane 5 seaplane base (discussed under
'Air Bases") are proposed at this location. Floating
dry dooks could be operated nearby in the deep water
directly north of Low Island. In thia location the
fliating docks could be removed from the ship traffio
line through Algerine Roads and yet be adjacent to
both ship repair facilities and fleet anchorage.
(e) Cone Island area: Cone Island (although
deficient in good building sites) because of its com-
manding position within the entrance channel, Is suit-
ibis for the ii.S.C.P., net depot, and Sono Buoy. These
smell installations with required dockage :could be
supplied from the main base on San-tu-ao Island.
(f) In general, the rest of the cosetal slopes
surrounding the Inlet are too rugged in charaoter for
good building sites. Although good sites exist in the
lectern section, the difficulties of road construction
and extensive dredging required for navigation, forbid
their recommendation except as alrbasso and bivouac:
sites. Several smell sand beaches with adjacent
building sites are available in the vicinity of Foul
Flint on the north Moore of Algerins Roads; but dredging
through the cud flate would be required to make these
sites accessible to any craft other than LOTs operating
at mid-tide. The mine depot ink:0111p repair units'wers
planned on Sibbald Island rather than at Foul Point be-
cause of better water. In additionk it was considered
desirable to group these installations for administrative
reasons with the seaplane base which would logically be
located on this Island. . 0

Inlet south of the town of Tungwen. At this location,
an airfield could be constructed easily in the broad,
flat cultivated valley. Two 4,000 foot paved runways,
oriented northeset - southwest in line with the pre-
vailing winde, are proposed hers. This field could
accomodate 100 carrier-based fighters and an estimated
6,000 personnel. The lite itself could be expanded into
a heavy bomber installation but this is not recommended
due to existing operational bawds. Acroes both north-
east and southwest approaches lis 3,000 ft. ridges :ditch
create prohibitive heavy bomber glide angles into the
field. Materiel storage, personnel housing as well as
a troop blvouao area could be situated in this valley
to the north of the strip. Supply of this airfield
could be accomplished by CCI'., operating on the tide
direotly to the site from the Apex Point docks.
(d) Dazods creek This airfield
I. located on the gently-rolling cultivated ground at
the extrema western end of Samoa Inlet, immediately
south of the town of Iling-te. This site is less de-
sirable than the Spider Island location because of ex-
isting operation hoards and the heavy out and fill
required in the runway construction. A single 4,000
foot runway, lying northwest - southeast, would parallel
the shore line on the east and the 3,000 ft. ridge on the
west. The south approach is clear. The north encroach
is ow:praised by enclosing hills. This epprach scold
be made through a narrow gap and would be feasible only
in good weather. This field could accomodate 50 carrier-
based fighters and an estimated 500 personnel. It would
be 'applied by IOU operating on the tide from the Apex
Point Oaks.
(s) ilbald jalmindjankene_Bely This pro-
posed installation is lasted on the land-looked water
of Sense Basin situated in the northeastern section of
Sans. Inlet. The basin, appromlnatilly 7 miles north
and south by 4 sites east and west, affords a 5-mile
reach of water oriented with the prevailing winds.
The water of the basin is free of obstructions and should
be relatively quiet. The northeast approach would be over
the low-lying, narrow nook separating the basin from Fuming
Bay. The southern approach would be over Jalgerizie Roads
and around the western side of Sibbald Island. Other ap-
proschee are not to be reeommended because of the hills
lying to the north. west, and east, rising to 2,000 foot

elevations. Facilities to service SO seaplane, with OA
estimated 500 personnel could be aseamodstod on the
north shore of Sibbald Mond. Supply of this site
would be by iCTI from the Apex Paint Looks.
(f) A central stores* point for the supply
of all these air bases is proposed at the Apex Point
warehouse area. This site, as indicated on the map,
is situated on the south shore of dames Inlet oaths
nearest suitable ground west of the wain supply docks.
Aviation gas storags totaling one million gallons is
proposed on Apex Peninsula River, immediately east of
the supply docks and situated far enough around the
Point to protect the docks from possible explosion.
4, hallo, and ase for Interior Chins Neretione.
The construction of a dock area is contemplated
to provide a flow of 9,000 tons daily to interior China.
This is proposed on the mainland at Apex Point across the
Inner Barter from the San-tu-ao Island, fleet base. At
this location a 3,000 foot dock in 5 fathoms of water is
proposed to s000mmodste the unloading of 6 ARA. Adjoining
this installation on the west, a ramp 500 feet wide to
handle the unloading of LSTs is fessible. Prom time
docks 2,500 tone a day could be handled. The warehouse
area for this supply is located along the coast road
approximately 3 mile, west of apex Point. It is estim-
ated that an area of 16 acres will aecossodate the
supply for interior China, the defines troops in the
area, and the nearby airfields. It is proposed to
lamb, the truck motor pool and bivouac area at Pe.
loon, 7 miles west of Apex Point.

mountains to the north and west, Is generally hilly
with some low coastal flats. In particular, osrtain
parts of the terrain on the Peninsula off it excellent
site. for cceatructing and supplying two VLB airfields
and a large storage and bivouac arm. Deep water and
torrain across Esi-tian Strait at Bung-hsis (2t?-43'I,
1190-3S1) are favorable for anchorage of al cargo
ships, ? landing bomb, and a storage area. Other por-
tion. of the area along the vast boundary are suitable
for oonstruoting and supplying two VIM airfields and
for bivouacking troops.

of two VIA airfields, esoh with two runways. Runway glide
angles and approach cones meet standard requiremets, and
construotion would be oomparatIvely easy to moomplish.
The terrain at the lover site le flat and has loamy soil'
the terrain at the ?their sits is relatively flat and has
soil of sandy clay. Both sites have easy access to such
construction materials as granite rook, deoomposed granite,
and sand in the agjecent hilly ground and along the coast.
Thera is a largo well-drained area nearby of approximately
20 square ailed for blvousoking troops, storage of fuel,
end dispersal of ammunition and bombe.
(b) The terrain mar Pu-chling (26 .471,

two VAR dual-runvay airfields. The sites are fairly
level and have sandy soil with good drainage qualities.
There is an unlimited supply of bard granite rook,
river gravel and sand for use in surfacing the run-
ways and taxiways.
(o) Luring early stages of occupation, all

6. Base of Military Occupation end Defense.
(a) Kase of Occupation
(1) Lungtien Ptninsula is readily ac-
cessible to eseault from the1/4ies using 3ung-hsia beach
ae outlined above. The area was not occupied by the
enemy es of 24 Sept. 1944 and, in common ?Ith some
other sectile of eastern China, is loosely overned
by the Central 000ernment. lroops holding the area
are for the most port police and provincial units.
Tneee frees are. sufficient to maintain peace and
order in the ars&
(T) Intelligence report. Indicate enemy
aotivIty in this area on Sept. 27th, and 500 puppets
are reported at ru-tion. The areas undmr the control
of the enemy are usually limited to one or two toms
where he can garrison his troops and control the
police. These small forctia would present no problem
to taking this Area.
(b) lass of Defense
(1) AREA "I" is shoen to include a pen.
meter road (now destroyed) which should be repaired as
ra;idly as isselble for defense purposes. Excluding
the plealtilivof the enemy reinforcing from the see,
the nearest c.ncentretion of Japanese troops Is in the
Foochow area (reported as 10,000 on 28 October 1944).
This force is too mull to hold F000now and send a
nimble force south. There are approximately 60 miles
of destroyed road frost Foochow to Pu-ch'ing, and although
m-torieed equipment cannot be used on these roads, infantry
could move on foot age:net fu-cit'ing.

(2) If the Japanese lighten their Foochow
defences to any groat extent the 80th Chinese Division,
whioh has retired tram the city, would probably retake it.
The Chinese troops in eeetern China have no method of re-
plenishing military supplies (including ammunition), and
=Ally engage the enemy only when conditions are favor-
able.
(1) The terrain around Lungtien Peninsula
is suitable for defense, and light motorized equipment
and artillery could be used defensively.
7. Construction Effort wad Time Element.
(a) Construction involves the following
facilities, none of which present any unusual prob-
lems'
(1) Restoration of approximately 50 miles
of destroyed perimeter roadway and con-
struction of 20 miles of new roads.
(2) Construction of tem PLR end two VBH
airfields together with all necessary
facilities, each site providing too
parallel runways.
(8) All required facilities for two storage
and two hi:rouse areas.
(4) Construction of 1800 fleet of docks and
ramps for light craft.
(b) It is estimated that 15 construction
battalions will require 45 dap' to place In operation
ell (unities listed above.
8. Resouroes Facilities and L000r.
(a) There Is an unlimited supply of herd gran-
ite rock, decoaposed colts, river gravel and sand.
Brick and lime in limited quantities can be produced in
the I. villages. Cement, timber and eleotric power
are not available. All skilled labor, equipaent, supplies,
accessories and materials (exoopt rock, gravel and sand)
suet be imported. There being no large atlas* In this
area, it would also be necessary to import unskilled
labor. A minimum of 10,000, ho , would be *sellable
locally for unloading, etc.

The favorable geographic features include
Wolohan Sound, with its deep water, from the China Sea
to Stuishl Point; and the adjacent terrain of gentle
rolling hills citn eome be coastal flats. This area
could be adapted for use as a minor fleet =chomps
and naval bass Involving destroyers, submarines, sea-
planes, PT boate, cargo ships, air base and bivouacking
of troops. The area also offers good possibilitiee for
future expansion of these facilities.
1. Fleet Anchorage.
Deep meter within an area of approximately
6 square miles ranging up to 10 fathoms at SUnaisni Point
provides good ship anchorage and protection from typhoons.
It will be necessary to dredge the 3 fathom shoal area at
the entrance to provlie access to the deep water !raid*.
At the present time vessels entering ?rx:1 leaving Yemen
Sound must have pilots due to rocks and constantly shift-
ing sands eithin a 'tort reach near We mouth of the
criamAl. helatively little dredging and removal of
some reefs could be reiuired to enlarge the channel and
produce a more eatisfactory and permanent approach.
Supplies and equipment for the area activities could be
imported to .inalehi and from this point transferred to
lisp craft and distributed as required. The an tidal
range within Soloman Sound Is 14 feet.

north and east of Hui-an (26'-08'11, 1l8?-47t2) is sultahle
for construction and operation of a heavy bomber airfield
with parallel dual runways. Approach zones and glide
angles meet standard requirements and actual construction
would be comparatively easy to accomplith. Although the
site is in rioe cultivation, it is of sandy-loamy material
and there la au abundance of rock, river gravel and eand
available in nserby hills and streams. Explosives, fuel
and other 'unpile, could be dispersed in the adjacent
hilly ground. Adequate epace is available for construc-
tion of administrative, operation and housing facilities.
(b) forth of ithuishi (20? -07'N, 118? -67'1)

Ueneral.
(a) The area surrounding Amoy Island with its
deep vete: end natural line of breakwatere that give it
good protection from the open soo) makes it well suited
for a major fleet base; and for supply operations for
the Fleet. The harbor encamp aaaaa mites suitable for
constructing instillations to handle large quantities
of supplies for China; access routes to the interior is
the limiting factor. The harbor consists of an outer
harbor lying off the southern end of Amoy; and the inner
harbor, the principal portion of which lies between Amoy
and the Island of Kulongsu on the oest. Deep water In
the harbors, numerous high-tide sandy beaches on Amoy,
Kulangsu, the quemoys and in the immediate vicinity of
the mainland afford good sites for Wieling operations,
dooke and umphibious bases.
(b) The be coaotal plain paralleling ths
coast contributes good storage areas, airfield sites
and ample room for bivouacking troops. The type of
soil found in this area Is favorable for construction.
Terrain on portions of the Wands and that adjacent to
the coastal plain is hilly or mountainous, which provides
protection from winds, Aldo in security in the defense of
the area, and vill furnish materials for construction
purposes. There Is, however, adequate specs for dis-
persal, tivouac and stoging areas for large numbers of
troops.
1.
Fleet Anehorage.
The outor)harbor, about 6 miles long and 2
miles aide with ? depth ranging from 6 to 14 fathoms,
furnishes good anchorage and has eltoollent holding
ground. Practically the entire area of the Inner
harbor surrounding Kulangsu island affords good an-
chorage, although there are limitations in the section
betosen Kulangsu and /soy dde to rocks. During high
tido is drawing deep water can navigate around
the north end of Kulangsu from to. vest side and re-
turn down the east side. Little drodging would be re-
quired to make tile short section a permanent deep water
chwuel. Harbor security can b,. obtained by laying anti-
submarine ets from Pagoda loint on the mainland to Tat
Tan :stand .ni connecting with Ahe small islands between
these two points. Tides in tne inner harbor lave a moan
range of and a AprIng range of 16.0'.

2. Fleet Base.
lulangsu and the city of Amoy have aaaaa
that are suitable for administration, communications,
hospitals, receiving ship and port director. Small hays
along to. coast line of these aaaaa have sites available
for construction of facilities for ship repair, floating
dry docks, motor torpedo boat belie, submarine base, bunker
fuel storage, ammunition dumps, landing craft ramps and
boat pool.
(b) Elating facilities on Amoy Island include
numerals quays adjacent to large warehouse areas. We-
ever, depths of water alongside these quays Is only suf-
ficient for bergs or landing craft operations. It is
estimated there were formerly 700 ten-ton barges avail-
able for ship to shore unloading operations. So ,
the construction of a 11100. deep motor dock near the
inner harbor as shoun on Drawing Mo. P0-2 appears
feasible. This mould permit direct handling of cargo
to warehouses.
(c) There are flat sandy areas for dispersal
or staging of troops, end the hilly regions mad be
utillaed for ammunition and bomb storage. Amoy has a
network of existing roads that eonract to the present
airfield and all parts of the Island. It has dans and
a water purifleation plant) It is assumed those may be
utilised.
(d) The presence of numerous antennae towers
on Amoy and Kulaagsu Indicate monaiderable radio commun-
bastions. Prior to the ispeneee invasion, Amoy had a
local telephone system and an electric power plant with
a *opacity of 9,300 K.0. tulisopu had a poser plant with
a eapaalty of 306 K.W. end two oommuoications cables op-
erated with connections to Hong Kong cad Saigon. The
power plants still &ppar to be in operation.
3. Air Bases.
(a) The existing 4,200' outfaced runway on
the northwest corner of Amoy Island is suitable for
cerrier-based aircraft and appears capable of expension.
This elites* has never been extensively used by the
snaky, but has been kept in operative condition.
(b) titbit& ? maxima radius of 30 miles from
Amoy eight vut airfields can be constructed. The site
areas are approximately level and have sandy soil with
good drainage qualities. In the nearby hIlle good gran-
ite rock is available for surfacing. There are adequate
areas to soot all administrative, personnel and bivouac
requirements, while the adjacent hilly terrain furnishes
excellent sites for the diapers/11 of ammunition and bomb
storage.
(e) Bello supplies for the airfields and per-
sonnel in the northern area would be a short haul from
3000' dock proposed rot construction at Nultau. Ossolino
for these fields would be from tankers coming to the Sui-
ten dock and pumped by pipe line to a proposed tank fare
In the area. Supplies to fields in the southern or Mang
area would be from docks constructed off 3ungsu Peninsula.
These supplies could be transferred by road to the sites
or transshipped by landing craft to beachee adjacent to
the airfield sites.
(d) The Japanese are now using a seaplane base
in the inner harbor on the west coast of Amoy Island;
edditional facilities could be constructed. This section
has a good sandy beach and would be adequate to meet all
requirements. By air, 611 fields would be approximately
660 nautical mile? from 3banghai and 1,360 nautical utiles
from Tokyo.
(0) It Is reported that ? small landing ground
site existed on Quemoy Island prior to hostilities In this
area. A ground reconnaissance of this Islend was not prac-
ticable, but it is Watered that situ' for one or more
fields for oarrisr-based planes exist.

4. Supply and Baca for Interior China 0O9rations.
The oonstruction of a 3,800' dock at Sundeu
and a 5,400. dock at Othau is contemplated to allow ?
flow of 5,600 tone daily to interior China. This *ill
reoire unloading sic ships at the rate of 600 tons per
day at Othau end four ships per day at the same rate on
the :',ongsu dock. These areas neve ample apace for biv-
ouac @Roe, motor repair shops and warehouse facilities '
necessary to maintain the required level of supply. In
order to have the tonnage quota reach interior China,
It is necessary to have 500 four-ton capacity trucks
leave the dungsx area daily and move over the Lung-chi
(chengmos) - Lungyen route. Prom the Othsu area, 500
truck, traveling over the Yung-chun - T'a-t,len route
and .t,) up the coastal road would be required. At pres-
ent, the first U5 miles of the Sundsu - Lung-chi route,
the first 160 miles of the Othau - T'i-t'ian route and
lie entire coastal route to Foochow are destroyed. Time
for the restoration of theme routes is inoluded in es-
timates for construction required for entire Amoy Area
under earagreph 7 below.
b. Beaches and Lending Areas.
(a) Intelligence reports indicate an increase
ih ',umbers of the enemy occupying Amoy, Little and Big
.01 Islands, which may indicate thst a higher percent-
age f the been's' are defended. None of the beaches are
extensively used by the enemy for supply at present, ex-
cept where jetties or small wharves have previouely been
corstr,cted.
(uj Under this heading the ruitural features
of toe beaches will be treated; defense installations
are coverei In the occupational plan. In the inner

SEC. It - AMOY (CONTINUED)
(c) Amoy Island?It is believed that the best
beaches on amoy Island are along the south shore
numbered 2, 3, 4 and 6 on the Amoy beach study noted
above. Beaches 6, 7 and 0 appear shoal and should only
be approached at the higher tides. The elevation of the
land contiguous with this coastline is estimated at aver-
age of 10' above H.W. Gothong Point, on the NE point of
the island, ie rocky and steep eith deep water just aff
the point. A rather abrupt bank from 24?-29'N to 2e-32.1
(estimated from 20 to 30 feet high) le just inshore of the
beaches on this coast. .bmall streams neve eroded channels
through the loamy soil and as these are dry except during
rain storms, asecilt troops might use them for cover.
Prom 3othong Point on the north coast to the point VW
of the airfield (Beach numbers from 9 to 17) the water
is generally shallow at low tides and the elevation of
the island is probably 20, to 30, above B.C. The beaches
are generally sandy end usable in the high water ranges.
Rocks are in evidence along all beaches and care should
be exercised in approaching at any tide. Beaches along
the northwest coastline, numbers 18 to 21 inclusive, are
not recommended. Beaches Lb and 28 on Kuleageu are small
but appear usable. The terrain ashore on the Island of
Amoy is largely in sweet potato and peanut cultivation;
in general it is dry and capable of supporting motorised
equipment end troops. Photos taken offshore by junk,
along with 'Intl:414001..1%es from Use mainland (se.
overlays) and oblique aerial coverage should be further
studied by the troops seafood the assault task.
