The attacking forces landed 2000

able to launch a counter attack. ,

The defeated army leaders swore
they would return to avenge the

Ten thousand Cantonese troops

leadership of Russian officers.
Fighting begun at Canton- eight

The Immediate cause of the trouble
was tho efforts of the cantonese gov
ernment to- dismiss the YunnaneHe
army, former allies of the Canton
ese under Sun Yat 1 Sen's regime.
The dismissal was desired because
'the support of the army had become
burdensome to the Cantonese govern
ment. Yunnanese generals under General
Yang Hsi-Mln and Lau Chun-Wan
and. their troopB had complete con

Cantonese troops under General
Hsu Ch'Uhg-Chi, reinforced by Gene
