Telegram to Xu Shiyou, Tan Zhenlin, and Others[1]

(June 26, 1948)

Your offensive operations have already caused two regiments of the 25th Division to be transferred to Teng County, and the 83rd Division also began moving by rail from Minquan to Teng County on Youri.[2] It is estimated that they will arrive within a few days and then reinforce Yanzhou. This is of immense assistance to Su, Chen, and Zhang.
