On protracted war (excerpt)
What about China? It is incomparable in any other historical period. Semi-colonial and semi-feudal society is its characteristic, so it is called a weak country. But at the same time, it is in an era of historical progress, which is the main basis for defeating Japan. The so-called progress in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is not ordinary progress, not progress in Abyssinia's war of resistance against Italy, not progress in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom or the Revolution of 1911, but progress in China today. Where is the progress in China today? That is, it is not a completely feudal country, and it already has capitalism, the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, the broad masses of people who have awakened or are awakening, the * * * production party, the politically progressive army, the Chinese Red Army led by the * * * production party, and the traditional experience of decades of revolution, especially the 17 years since the founding of the China * * * production party. These experiences have educated the people of China. If we say that in Russia, without the experience of 1905, there would be no victory of 19 17; Then, we can also say that without the experience of 17 years, there would be no victory for War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. This is the domestic situation.
International conditions kept China from being isolated in the war, which was unprecedented in history ... All these created indispensable and important conditions for China's final victory. Although a large amount of direct assistance is not available at present, it will wait until tomorrow, but China has the conditions of progress and great power, which can prolong the war and promote and wait for international assistance.

Reasons for the publication of "On protracted war"
1On the evening of July 7, 937, the Japanese army launched the Lugouqiao Incident and began a full-scale war of aggression against China. At the beginning of the war, the Japanese army occupied Ping Jin first, then Shanghai, Nanjing, Taitai and other places, and its arrogance was very arrogant. In the face of the Japanese army's massive attack, the patriotic officers and men of the Kuomintang fought bravely and paid a painful price, but because the Kuomintang authorities pursued the one-sided anti-Japanese war line, they dared not widely mobilize the people to carry out the national anti-Japanese war. Instead, it relies solely on the government and the army to resist, adopts the operational policy of passive defense, and lacks careful organizational preparation. In addition, the disparity between weapons and equipment and the combat effectiveness of the army has caused the passive situation of the Kuomintang army losing ground on the frontal battlefield, and large areas of land have become enemy-occupied areas.
Different from the Kuomintang's one-sided anti-Japanese war, China's * * * production party formulated and implemented a comprehensive anti-Japanese war line, widely mobilized the people, created anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines, launched guerrilla warfare, and threw the invaders into the sea of Wang Yang in the people's war. In order to show War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory to the people of the whole country and mobilize the strength of the whole nation to carry out the anti-Japanese war,1In late August, 937, China's * * * Production Party held a meeting in Luochuan, formulated the ten-point program of resisting Japan and saving the nation, and called on party member, a producer of * * *, and his people's armed forces to actively stand in the forefront of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, carry out the anti-Japanese mass movement, and strive for War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory.
After the September 18th Incident, in the face of the situation that the Japanese army occupied the whole northeast and continuously infiltrated into North China, some people in the Kuomintang spread the argument that "the war of resistance will fail". Under the national government's policy of "resisting while discussing", a large area of land fell. Shortly after the start of the all-round anti-Japanese war, some people in China began to be pessimistic because of the successive defeats in the frontal battlefield at the beginning of the war. As a representative of the peace faction in the Kuomintang, Wang Jingwei lost confidence in the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and strongly advocated "peace talks" with Japan. Some of them organize "low-key clubs" and advocate the argument that "you will die if you fight again". Among the members, there are both civilian and military commanders. Although the number is small, they are powerful and have a bad influence. Another part of the Kuomintang advocates the theory of "quick victory" and fantasizes about relying on the support of Britain and the United States to achieve quick victory, especially after winning the battle of Taierzhuang on the frontal battlefield.
In order to explain the nature, characteristics and development law of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in theory, answer the question of how to wage a protracted war and win the final victory, refute all kinds of wrong ideas and dispel people's doubts about the future of the Anti-Japanese War, Mao Zedong summed up and absorbed the thoughts of other comrades in the party on protracted war, and made an important speech on protracted war at the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression Research Association in Yan 'an from late May to early June. 1938. This paper comprehensively and systematically expounds major issues such as persisting in protracted war, mobilizing the people extensively, and striving for victory in the Anti-Japanese War, and highlights the decisive role of mobilizing the people to participate in the Anti-Japanese War and carry out guerrilla warfare.
The main content of On Protracted War
In On Protracted War, Mao Zedong expounded emphatically why China persisted in the war of resistance and won the final victory through a broad vision and a comparison of Chinese and foreign history. He pointed out that the Sino-Japanese War was a deadly war between semi-colonial and semi-feudal China and imperialist Japan in the 1930s. He brilliantly analyzed the contradictory factors in the Sino-Japanese War, such as the enemy being strong and weak, the enemy being backward and making progress, and the enemy being less helpful than me. He comprehensively investigated and demonstrated the objective basis and inevitability of persisting in protracted war to win War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and pointed out that Japan, a small country with little help, could not support a long-term war and would eventually fail. China is a big country with a lot of help. After a hard and protracted war, it will surely win the final victory.
Mao Zedong foresaw scientifically that War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression would go through three stages: strategic defense, strategic stalemate and strategic counterattack. He pointed out that because Japan is a powerful country, there must be a strategic defense stage in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War. He emphatically analyzed the conditions for the arrival of the strategic stalemate stage, and demonstrated that the stalemate stage would be the hub to change the situation between the enemy and ourselves. Mao Zedong pointed out that since China is a big country, the Japanese can only occupy a limited area, so the strategic stalemate is inevitable. It is precisely because the Japanese army can only occupy cities and traffic trunk lines, leaving a broad space for activities, creating conditions for guerrilla warfare and consuming the enemy. Mao Zedong correctly solved the problem of the operational principle of protracted war, and emphatically expounded that it is the only correct strategic policy to actively, flexibly and systematically carry out offensive war, quick decision in protracted war and exterior-line war in interior-line war. He pointed out that the two stages of strategic defense and strategic counterattack are mainly mobile warfare, supplemented by guerrilla warfare and positional warfare, and the stage of strategic stalemate is mainly guerrilla warfare, supplemented by mobile warfare and positional warfare. Mao Zedong profoundly expounded the thought of people's war, pointing out that "soldiers and people are the foundation of victory" and "the deepest source of the great power of war exists among the people". China * * * production party is good at doing people's work. Under the condition of the national war of resistance, it can get more people's assistance. As long as there are anti-Japanese armed forces led by the * * * production party and the * * * production party, people's guerrilla warfare can be organized; As long as we unite all forces that can be United, mobilize all positive factors, and widely mobilize the people to participate in the war of resistance, the final victory will definitely belong to China.
