Inscription for the Artillery Regiment

(1939)

To all the comrades of the Artillery Regiment, officers and men:

It is already the first anniversary of the formation of the Artillery Regiment of the
Eighth Route Army. I hope you will make great efforts in the study of political and
military science and technical subjects, create a regiment which will be a powerful
force in the anti-Japanese war, and achieve your goal of becoming ever-victorious
and all-conquering, so as to win glory for the nation and become a model for the
Eighth Route Army!
