7 February 1945

[Text] In his eulogy for Comrade P'eng Hsueh-feng, Chairman Mao wrote:

Comrade Hsueh-feng sacrificed himself in the struggle against the enemy,
and the entire nation and entire party mourn the loss. To compensate for
the loss, we must emulate his courageous spirit, devote greater efforts
to the expansion of the liberated areas and the 8th Route Army and New
4th Army, and strive for the formation of a coalition government and a
coalition high command, so that the Japanese aggressors will be destroyed
under an effective joint assault and an independent and democratic new
China will be realized at an early date.
