This report reviews major developments observed in Hupeh Province on photography of October, November, and December 1972. It consists of text, eight maps, five tables, and seven photographs. 2. Hupeh Province is in the center of China and is situated among three major mountain chains which surround the middle Yangtze Valley. The Yangtze River with its tributaries and alluvium plain make up the major portion of this valley. 3. This report provides a summary of major developments in missile, air, naval, electronics, ground forces, industrial, commun- ication facilities. and rail construction in Hupeh Province observed on photography Ninety percent of the province was covered by cloud-free photography during that time. Tables and maps are used to detail activity observed. BASIC DESCRIPTION MISSILE ACTIVITY (Figure 1) Surface-to-Surface Missiles 4. No surface-to-surface missile (SSM) activity or related equipment have been observed in Hupeh Province. Surface-to-Air Missiles 25X1 25X1 5. Five surface-to-air missile (SAM) sites have been identified in Hupeh Province. Four of the sites are hardened and one is an abandoned field-type site. Three of the SAM sites were occupied when seen throughout the reporting period The 25X1 launch area at Wu-han SAM Site B03-1 contained six 25X1 CSA-1 launchers The launch area at Wu-han SAM 25X1 Site B20-1 contained six CSA-l launch r 25X1 The launch area at Wu-han SAM Site E32-1 25X1 contained six CSA-1 launchers (one with a possible missi e 25X1 The site also contained 12 CSA-1 trans- 25X1 porters with missiles, two rows of CSA-l sustainer canisters (one partially canvas covered), and other sup-port e ui ment. This SAM site was previously reported as a newly iden- 25X1 tified field-deployed site. Iluan -shih SAM Site A02A-11-1 25X1 previously reported as occupied was 25X1 6. Twenty CSA-l canister transporters were observed at the Wu- han Iv y Plant Han- yang The plant 25X1 is probably producing the CSA-l canister transporter. AIR ACTIVITY (Figure 3) 7. Hupeh Province is part of the Wu-han Air Defense District and contains a large number of transport-type air elements includ- ing airborne support elements. Eleven airfields have been identi- fied in the province. Ten of the airfields have permanent hard- surfaced runways, with eight of the runways over 1,524 meters (5,000 feet) long. Table 1 (keyed to Figure 3) contains information on the 11 airfields and provides the air order-of-battle observed on 8.

Construction activity was also observed at Ying-shan Airfield North and Huang-pei Airfiel 9. Aircraft were observed at seven of the 11 airfields. In- cluded in the air order-of-battle at Tang-yang Airfield were seven CUB transports on photography Tang-yang Airfield supports the CUB aircraft, which is the largest military transport in the Chinese inventory. More FAGOT/FRESCO fighters were observed than any other type aircraft. NAVAL ACTIVITY (Figure S) 10. Naval activity in Hupeh Province is concentrated along the Yangtze River and its major tributaries. This activity includes shipbuilding, boat and barge construction, and boat repair facili- ties. Figure 5 includes the two Wu-han shipyards, major boatyards, and port facilities. 11. The Wu-han Shipyard Wu-chang produces the R CLASS submarine (SS) and the MING SS in addition to large river- craft (Figure 6). Two probable R SS and two possible R SS were ob- served on photography The two probable R SS were on the back side of the fitting out barge, one possible R SS was under construction on buildingway three, and a possible R SS was in an early stage of construction on buildingway four. 12. The Wu-han Shipyard Ching-shan is primari- ly involved in the. production of large river barges, tugs, and rivercraft of varying sizes. Five river tugs, four large barges, and several rivercraft were under construction when seen on photog- raphy EXDansion of h hipyard facilities has been underway 13. Major construction activity including the construction of new buildingways and transversers was observed at the Wu-han Boat- yard Ching-shan South 14. The level of activity at the major port facilities on the Yangtze and its tributaries was moderate to high during the period ELECTRONICS ACTIVITY (Figure 7) 15. Electronics activity in Hupeh Province includes a space tracking facility, two radar production plants, two radar repair and maintenance facilities, a radar training facility, and four radar sites.

Major military units identified in Hupeh Province include airborne, infantry, artillery, and river crossing. Hupeh Province contains only a small portion of the total ground forces assigned to the Wu-han Military Region. Most of the ground forces activity in the province was observed in the eastern portion, with the heav- iest concentration of ground forces weapons within a 50 nautical mile (nm) radius of Wu-han. Table 3 (keyed to Figure 10) details the major ground forces weapons and equipment observed in Hupeh Pro- vince on photography of October, November, and December 1972. 21.

The major industrial activity in Hupeh Province includes the production of steel, iron, copper, chemicals, petroleum pro- ducts, cement; the manufacture of textiles, railroad cars, heavy industrial machinery, trucks and buses, agriculture machinery, food- stuffs; the mining of coal, iron ore, copper ore, limestone; and the extraction of crude oil from a large oil field in the Tu-shia-tai Basin. 27. Major industrial expansion previously re orted in February 1972 was continuing during the period 25X1' Expansion activity observed in Hupeh Province in- 2x1! cluded 43 industrial installations. Six of the plants were newly i identified on photography most 25X1' of the large installations appear to be engaged in metal a rication for a broad range of machinery and equipment. 25X1. more than half of the installations were operational or externally complete. Table 4 (keyed to Figure 11) details the industrial ex- pansion activity observed on the October, November, and December 1972 photography. 28. Construction patterns follow those observed in other areas of China. Many of the facilities are dispersed in rural mountainous areas in a series of interconnected valleys which provide natural concealment and protection. 29. The industrial installations vary from a simple facility of 278 square meters (3,000 square feet) of floorspace with two or three large fabrication building to an elaborate complex of more than 741,450 square meters (8.0 million square feet) of floorspace with more than 100 fabrication, assembly, and shop-type buildings. The largest of these is Shih-yen-chen Unidentified Industrial Com- plex which covers approximately 45 square nm and contains more than 140 large fabrication, assembly, and shop- type buildings (Figure 12). 30.

Expansion of communications facilities was continuin in Hupeh Province during the period 25X1 Construction on the previously reported 25X1 underground telecommunications alignment in the province appeare complete. The latest development in telecommunications activity has been the construction of the radio relay (RADREL) stations at various locations in Hupeh Province. Table 5 (keyed to Figure 13) details the telecommunications activity during the reporting period. 33. The underground telecommunications line runs through Hupeh Province in generally two directions. The north/south alignment enters Hupeh from Honan Province and extends southward into Hunan Province. The east/west alignment enters Hupeh from Anhwei Province and extends in a northwesterly direction into Shensi Province. 34. Twelve RADREL stations have been identified in Hupeh Pro- vince since July 1971 including nine on photography of 25X1 October and November 1972. There are basically two types of facili- ties. In one type of facility the major control building is bun- kered (Figure 14) and in the other facility the control building is TOP SECRET RUFF Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/01: CIA-RDP78TO5162A000300010033-2 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/01 : CIA-RDP78T05162A000300010033-2 NP1c KUANG-HUA HUPEH FIGURE 10.

Both types of facilities normally have appendages attached to the bunkers or the buildings. The appendages face var- ious directions, probably indicating the direction of signal. 35. The RADREL stations appear to form a communication net covering most of the province. The average distance between sta- tions is about 30 nm. 36. Two high-frequency communications facilities were ob- served in the province. The facility at Hsiang-yang was newly identified on photography Also observed was a high-frequency direction finding (I)FT-facility in the Wu-chang section of Wu-han. RAILROAD DEVELOPMENTS IN IIUPEH PROVINCE (Figure 15) 37. Two new rail lines through Hupeh Province were in various stages of construction. The generally east/west line, when com- plete, will connect Wu-han with Chung-ching. This line is opera- tional from Wu-han to the northwestern Hupeh/Szechwan border. Con- struction was continuing on the associated support facilities along this alignment on photography the north/south line extends from Lo-yang (in Honan Province) to a point 17 nm north of the Hupeh-Hunan border, approximately 3 nm south of the Chih-chang road and rail bridge over the Yangtze. Figure 15 details the railroad developments in Hueph Province on photography of October, November, and December 1972. 38. A major feeder line connects the city of I-chang with the north/south alignment. Construction was continuing on this line north of the city. Several new rail spurs servicing the large min- ing complex near the Ya-yeh area were nearly complete. 39. Major associated rail facilities included three new clas- sification yards (one under construction) with adjacent railroad -18- TOP SECRET RUFF Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/01: CIA-RDP78TO5162A000300010033-2 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/01: CIA-RDP78T05162A000300010033-2 TOP SECRET RUFF - 19- TOP SECRET RUFF 25X125X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/01: CIA-RDP78T05162A000300010033-2 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/01: CIA-RDP78TO5162A000300010033-2 TOP SECRET RUFF engine and car repair facilities (all under construction). Continu- ing railbed alignment activity and small rail bridge construction were observed south of the above stated terminus on photography of 40.- The rail construction observed in Hupeh Province is close- ly related to the major industrial expansion observed in areas ad- jacent to the new lines.
