     From time to time we took trips farther afield, packing our bedding rolls and provisions, to see the Great Wall, the famous Buddhist cave sculptures at Yün Kang and Lung Men, early temples along the Fen River valley of Shansi, and the Tibetan-style architecture at Ch’eng-te in Jehol.

     But the Soviet Army does not have strong armed forces in those two places, and, since it belongs to the eastern war zone, Antung is not under his jurisdiction. Our troops also can reach Ch’eng-te by an overland route. As for the date when our troops will arrive in Mukden, Harbin, and other places, it can vary by a number of days, which will be no problem.
