Chapter 82 The enemy is strong and we are weak must prepare for a long-term struggle

(October 25, 1946) Northeast Bureau: Youyang [1] telegram.Your estimation is correct, and the policy of the Chinese and American reactionaries to wipe out the Liberated Areas will not change.Comrades in our party must never imagine the gift of peace. A temporary truce is only possible after a large number of the enemy's vital forces have been wiped out, the enemy's repeated attacks have been smashed, and the liberated areas have been developed.In the whole country and in the Northeast, the enemy is strong and we are weak. In order to change this situation, we must prepare for a long and arduous struggle.
