On this day, 89 years ago, on May 5, 1936 (March 15, 1936, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China sent a telegram to discuss an armistice and unanimously resist Japan. From right: Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Zhou Enlai, and Bogu On May 5, 1936, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the "Armistice Proposal and Unite Anti-Japanese Electricity", which clearly abandoned the anti-Chiang slogan and directly proposed to the Kuomintang for the first time the establishment of an anti-Japanese joint front. The telegram said: Since the Revolutionary Military Committee of the China Red Army organized the Anti-Japanese Vanguard Army of the China People's Red Army to cross the river and make the Eastern Expedition, they have been successful in all directions and responded in all directions. Chiang Kai-shek marched into Shansi with more than ten divisions and threatened to join Yan Xishan in blocking the Red Army's anti-Japanese advance. The vanguard of China's People's Anti-Japanese Red Army should have concentrated all its efforts on destroying Chiang's troops blocking the way out of the war, but the Revolutionary Military Committee of the Red Army has repeatedly considered that a decisive battle between the two sides, regardless of who wins or loses, will be a loss to China's national defence forces and will be welcomed by Japanese imperialism. Therefore, the Red Army Revolutionary Military Commission advised the Nanjing government with great caution that at the critical moment of national annihilation, they should repent and stop the civil war nationwide, first in Shaanxi, Gansu and Shanxi, in the spirit of "brothers fighting outside the wall to resist aggression." The two sides sent representatives to discuss specific measures to resist Japan and save the nation. If you still persist in being traitors and traitors, your rule will eventually disintegrate and be despised and overthrown by the people of the country. As the saying goes: "Thousands of people accuse you, you will die without illness", and then die: "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground." I hope you will think carefully about this.
