Telegram to Peng Dehuai\[1\] Regarding the Handover of Defense Duties by the Three Army Groups at the Oriole Sun Position
(June 2, 1951)

Comrade Dehuai:

Your telegram of June 1 has been received. After completing its blocking mission, it is very necessary for the Three Army Groups to withdraw to the Goksan area for reorganization and replenishment in order to restore their vitality. However, the defensive mission of the Three Army Groups on the front line from Hwacheon to Yeoncheon is extremely important and must be taken over by another unit. Should the Nine Army Groups take over the defense?
