It is evident that we need a bigger air force and more heavy guns.” General Chen, aged 47, one of China’s leading generals, was hastily summoned from Yunnan to turn back the recent Japanese threat to Chungking. He believes that the Japanese are not in a position to renew attacks, as they have not enough troops in China to do so.
