"The enemy is at all costs to the front into elite troops. They pushed forward desperately and rushed to the hinterland of our country, constantly occupying new land and plundering our cities and villages. They raped women, plundered property and killed people.
Fighting is going on in Voronezh, the Don River basin and near the gate in the southern North Caucasus. German occupation forces are advancing towards Stalingrad and Volga River, trying to occupy Kuban River and North Caucasus at all costs and seize oil and food resources there.
The enemy has occupied voroshilovgrad, Belsk, Staro, Russosh, Kupuyansk, Valuyiki, New Celka, Rostov and half of Voronezh. . . . . . After losing Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic Sea, Donbass and other regions, our land has been greatly reduced. Population, grain, steel, factories and mines have also decreased a lot. We have lost more than 70 million people, a grain producing area with an annual output of more than 800 million pushers and a steel production capacity of10 million tons.
Now, we have lost the advantages of human resources and grain reserves. Continuing to retreat is not suicide, but national subjugation.
Every inch of land we lose is tantamount to strengthening the enemy, which will greatly weaken our national defense and weaken our motherland. Therefore, we must fundamentally eliminate the theory of endless retreat and the argument that "China has a vast territory and abundant resources, a large population and inexhaustible food". These arguments are wrong and harmful. This will weaken our morale and enhance the prestige of the enemy. If we don't stop retreating, we will lose all grain, fuel, steel, raw materials, factories and railways. This shows that it is time to stop retreating.
"No retreat" should be our main slogan at present. We will not hesitate to shed blood and sacrifice, stubbornly stick to every position and defend every piece of land until the last breath.
Our motherland is in a dilemma. We should gain a firm foothold and then repel and destroy the enemy at all costs. Deco is not as powerful as some panicked elements think. They have become a spent force. If we resist the enemy's attacks in front of us and in recent months, we can win the battle with confidence.
Can we resist the enemy's attack and repel them? Yes Because the production of the factory behind us is advancing by leaps and bounds, there are more and more aircraft and cannons on our front line.
What are we missing? What we lack is to establish iron order and discipline in all troops. This is our current achilles heel. If we want to save the situation and defend the motherland, we must establish strict order and iron discipline in the army. . . . . .
Panic and cowardice fear that the dead will be shot on the spot. From now on, every commander, red army soldier and political worker must abide by this iron discipline: no one is allowed to take a step back without the order of the high command. "
