Telegram to Zhou Enlai[1]

(November 30, 1941)

According to a telegram from Chen Changjie to Zhu Shaoliang dated the 26th, He Wending’s division has been ordered to move toward Anbian. Please question Liu Weizhang whether the so-called delayed redeployment of He’s division is a stalling tactic. Our army has not fired a single shot to this day. If He’s division insists on moving south, we will resolutely defend ourselves, and all responsibility shall be borne by the other side.
