By the A.soeiaisd Press

TAIPEH, Formosa. Jan. Ia
A Communist invasion force
backed by 20 warships struck
Yikiangshan today and appar-
emily conquered the tiny Ma
tionalist Chinese island outpost.
Reliable. reports in the Ma
tionalist capital said radio con-
tact with the island was broken
at s pm Is am. EST and 1t
was presumed the Reds had
completed their conquest.
(Peiping radio, heard in
Tokyo. boasted that Red Chi
nese armies had liberated"
Yikiangshan and completely
wiped OUT the Nationalist de-
tenders. The Red radio said
the invasion forces landed and
completed capture Of the
island in two hours.)
An earlier Defense Ministry
communique had prepared the
public for the islands fall by
announcing that Yikiangsl1an. q
stepping stone to the important
Tachen Islands, was garrisoned
Evening star., 1955-01-18


"by a few brave guerrillas' who
late today were still resisting
bravely."
Fear Full Invasion.
Unoficial quarters said they
feared a full-scale invasion OF
the Tachens might come at any
moment.
President Chang Kai-shek
called a conference Of top level
military leaders, at Nationalist
headquarters here tonight.
It was reliably reported that
the Reds shelled the Tachens
this afternoon but made no at
tempt to land there.
Nationalist reports said the
assault on Yikiangshan was de-
liyered by 10 ships, including 20
warships. among them gunboats
and torpedo boats.
Huge fires started on the is
land we're clearly visible from
the Tachens.
U. s. Reaction Awaited.
The United States 7th Fleet
patrols Formosa Strait, but there
was no indication what steps
II any-the United States might
take. The United States is COM
mitted to the defense Of Formosa
and the Pescadores. but has
never said what 1t would do If
any Of the Nationalist offshore
islands was invaded.
Yikiangshan is 8 miles north
of the Tachens and S miles south
of Red-held Toumen Island.
From Yikiangshan the Reds
could hammer the Tachens with
l55-rnm. guns, Just as they have
bombarded Yikiangshan from
Toumen.
There are reported to be about
10000 Nationalist troops and
guerrillas on the Tachens. an Inn
portarlt link in Chang Kai-
shek's chain Of offshore islands.
Earlier today 60 Russian-type
warplanes roared out from the
mainland and plastered Yikiang-
shan and the Tachens with more
than 200 bombs in 40 minutes.
They followed this with q heavy
artillery barrage on Yikiangshan
from Toumen, apparently q prel-
ude to invasion.
Tiny Yikiangshan has been
subjected to repeated lombard
ments since November l when
the Reds reportedly fired more
than 5000 shells at 1t from Tou-
men Island.
