It appeared likely the 12th army
group was indeed wiped out. A
larger trapped group of 250,000
men, whose commanders had bun

chow, was being compressed
steadily by the Reds. Aside from
these troops, little stood in front
of the half million communists
pouring down toward Nanking.
The government withdrew from
the Grand Canal town of Paoying,
90 miles northeast of Nanking.
Chiang stayed in seclusion. His
