Telegram to Peng Dehuai and Ren Bishi[1]

(March 1, 1937)

The main force of the reinforcement troops is to be changed to the Fourth Army and the Thirty-first Army, that is, two armies of the Fourth Front Army. The Fifteenth Army Corps will not go, so as to avoid dividing our forces. The units under Luo and Song are to move out first, seize the crossing, and build boats.
