Inscription to Encourage the Red Army During the Counter-Campaign Against “Encirclement and Suppression”
(1934)

The enemy has already launched a large-scale offensive against our basic Soviet area. We must defeat this enemy at all costs. We must use all steadfastness, tenacity, and endurance to defeat this enemy. By doing so, we will certainly be able to defeat this enemy in the end. The final victory is ours.
Long live the Red Army that struggles heroically!
Mao Zedong
