To Lü Zhengcao and Lin Feng[1]

(September 30, 1944)

Please consider, in the other sub-districts also order them to launch battles like those in the Eighth Sub-district, to fight and build up their prestige, expand ourselves and squeeze the enemy smaller. However, after winning a battle in each place, they should be told to heighten their vigilance against enemy retaliation.
