Mao Zedong drafted party directives for the CENTRAL Committee of the Communist Party of China. The directive summed up a series of experiences in the three-month war since the outbreak of the all-out civil war, put forward the PLA's operational policy and combat tasks in the future, and pointed out: I will win, Chiang Kai-shek will be defeated, and in addition to the basic contradictions that Chiang Kai-shek cannot overcome politically and economically, a sharp contradiction has already arisen militarily between the too broad front of Chiang Kai-shek's army and its insufficient strength. This kind of contradiction is bound to become the direct cause of our victory over Chiang Kai-shek. The instructions also pointed out: The key to changing the situation between the enemy and ourselves and winning victory in the war lies in continuing to annihilate the effective forces of the Kuomintang army in large quantities and bring about major changes in the balance of military forces; concentrating superior forces and annihilating the enemy individually is the only correct method of combat. This instruction is included in the fourth volume of the Selected Works of Mao Zedong.
