Telegram to All Central Bureaus, Sub-Bureaus, and Military Regions[1]

(October 17, 1945)

In the battles against the attacks of the diehard troops on the Liberated Areas and in the struggle for a peaceful situation, it is hoped that all localities will pay attention to collecting evidence of the diehard troops' opposition to the Communist Party and the Liberated Areas. Whether written documents or oral confessions from captured officers, both are of great importance. Written documents and captured officers should all be photographed and sent to Yan'an.
