After the Battle of Taierzhuang, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China published "On Protracted War". Bai Chongxi read and summarized the book. Others were exhausted from writing, but he just said it in two sentences. It can be summarized as "accumulate small wins into big wins, trade space for time." Bai Chongxi's "wise words" were promoted as the motto of the Kuomintang-controlled areas' anti-Japanese war.
