General Hsu is reported to have occupied Lungnanhsien, while General Wei Pang-ping's command is heading inthe direction of Lungchuan.

The main Kiangsi force is at Kianfu, Practically no Kiangsi troops have been left at Nanchang. General Wei has recently been in "Canton and General Wang Tah-wei is commanding his troops during his absence from the field.
