To General Fu Zuoyi and General Zhao Chengshou in Suiyuan, March 13, 1937, with copy to the Memorial Meeting for Fallen Soldiers: The Japanese aggressors have unleashed puppet bandits to invade eastern Suiyuan. Under your leadership, the entire army has steadfastly defended our homeland and repelled foreign aggression, repeatedly breaking the enemy’s advance and partially redressing the profound humiliation suffered by our nation. Your officers and soldiers have heroically fought to the death, upholding righteousness and sacrificing their lives for the cause—such a noble spirit will forever inspire future generations and encourage the whole country. Comrades Zedong and Zhu De, deeply grieved by this national tragedy, hereby express our heartfelt condolences by telegraph. Please accept our sincere sympathy. Respectfully submitted, Mao Zedong and Zhu De. YUAN.O
