...take over everything from the city government to factory management in the name of Mao. By wall-poster accounting, no fewer than 350 people have been killed and 1,500 seriously wounded in clashes in Wuhan since last April. A formidable foe heads the resistance against the Maoist intruders: General Chen Tsaitao, commander of the Wuhan Military Region and a distinguished career soldier of the People's Liberation Army.
