Position and Tactics in I Reparation for North i trn Offensive Shanghai, Feb. 15. ? (AIM ? A Chinese battle royal In Hoan Province, with three separate ar mies as the participants, was a nearer realization today. Troops of Marshal Chang Tso- , Lin, Manchurian dictator, and j predominant figure in the Pek ing government completed occu- 1 patlon of the region north of Yel-, low Klver yesterday. They poured into the territory several days ago of Marshal Wu Pel-Fu, master of' the province and one of the ablest generals In China, and as a result Wu has gone Into conference with 1 his leaders to determine his course of action. Wu has given no indication of | whether he will oppose them or jjoln with them in an eltfort on [Chang's part to crush the Nation-; iallsts and again bring China un-| der one government. If be re- j fuses to cooperate he is faced with ! the prospect of fighting both the | Manchurian and the Nationalists or of Joining the latter in oppos ing the northerners for Chang already has served an ultimatum of Wu that he will brook no In terference. The movement of the Man churians into the Northern part of Honan Province accomplished as the first stage of their south ward push. General Chang Hsueh Liang, son of Marshal Chang and commander of the Honan cam paign, has gone to Tsinan to con fer with Ko Chang Taang-Chang. governor of Shantung and ally of the Manchurian war lord. It is expected that when the Manchurlans resume their south movement In an effort to sweep through Honan and wrest Han kow and the fertile Yangtze River basin from the Nationalists, the Shantungese will drive slmul-' taneously through Anhwel Pro-! vlnce with Klukiang, along the< Yangtze as their objective. Meanwhile, the Honan develop ment has almost completely over shadowed events In the Cheklang sector, where the Nationalists a short time ago attempted to break through toward Shanghai. The Nationalists markedly re laxed their pressure on the Che klang-Kslang front and It Is be lieved that they are moving large numbers of their troops from their devense of Hangkow. Also, in anticipation of the Northern offensive, the Nationalists re cently have brought down numer ous reinforcements from Ichang iand other up river Yangtze points. I Many of them have been placed north of Hankow while others have been dispatched to Wushueh | a strategic point along the river J | between Hankow and Hlunklng.
