ABSTRACT

A great opportunity now exists throughout the country and in foreign countries to engage in propaganda to expand the influence of the Red Army. Raising funds to fight Japan requires the publication of records on the Long March. A collective work has been initiated especially for this purpose. It is our hope that all senior officers will undertake themselves, and mobilize and organize cadres at the divisional and regimental levels to undertake as well, the task of writing down a variety of episodes they personally experienced in the Long March concerning battles fought, public sentiment and local customs, and colorful anecdotes, and submit them by September 5 to the General Political Department. This is an extremely important matter and should by no means be neglected.
