抗战初期,徐特立回湘担任八路军驻湘代表,领导湖南的抗日统一战线工作,对湖南省政府主席张治中开展统战工作,取得了明显的成效。张治中极力维护与中共的合作关系,避免摩擦,并接受了中共的一些抗日主张和建议,推动了湖南抗日救亡运动的开展。 In the early days of the war of resistance against Japan, Xu Telihui was the deputy to the Eighth Route Army stationed in Hunan and led the Hunan anti-Japanese united front work. Zhang Zhaoshong, chairman of the Hunan Provincial Government, carried out united front work and achieved remarkable results. Zhang Zhizhong struggled to maintain the cooperative relations with the CPC, avoid friction and accepted some anti-Japanese ideas and suggestions from the CCP to promote the anti-Japanese national salvation movement in Hunan.
