B. The radio station in Ghulja should be organized to establish communications with the CPC CC (Beijing) and with Cde. Peng Dehuai, the Commanding General of First Front. At first this radio station should also establish communications with the Moscow radio station.

If you agree with this, please give instructions to the appropriate body.
