Endorsement on Forwarding the Telegram from Fang Fang and Wei Jinshui to the Central Military Commission of the CPC Central Committee
(July 27, 1949)

Please consider having Deng Hua’s advance division, which is to move out from the three counties in southern Jiangxi, proceed directly from those counties to Meixian, and coordinate with our local forces there to wipe out Hu Lian’s unit. The enemy force there is only 12,000 strong with low combat effectiveness. With one of our divisions coordinating with our local forces, we can finish off this enemy, and then push straight down toward Chaozhou and Shantou.

Note : Mao Zedong forwarded the July 21 telegram from Fang Fang and Wei Jinshui to the Central Military Commission of the CPC Central Committee to Lin Biao, Deng Zihui, Xiao Ke, Zhao Erlu, Chen Geng, and Deng Hua. This endorsement was drafted by Mao Zedong on behalf of the Central Military Commission of the CPC Central Committee.
