1. Comment. This is the first indication we have had of a reinforcement
of Hainan since early 1953.
omme t. The 130 Division is believed to have left South China
or ores n late 1952 or early 1953 as a component of the newly organized

including the entire 132 Division, may have joined the 43 Army on Hainan.
It is not impossible that some units of the 130 Division may have been among 25X1
those elements sent to Hainan.
