1949年毛泽东同志访苏期间,与斯大林进行了多次交谈。一天,毛泽东同志在同斯大林交谈时,回忆起同国民党军队作战的艰难岁月,说:有一次,我们的一个兵团被敌军包围,情况极其危急,无论怎样也突围不出去。于是兵团司令向战士们发出号召说:“我们要不顾困难,不怕考验,要视死如归!” During Comrade Mao Zedong's visit to the Soviet Union in 1949, he had many conversations with Stalin. One day, Comrade Mao Tse-tung, in his conversation with Stalin, recalled the difficult years of fighting with the Kuomintang troops. He said: Once, one of our corps was surrounded by enemy troops and the situation was extremely critical. No escapes could be made anyway. So the commander of the Corps sent a call to the soldiers saying, “We should not hesitate in our difficulties, not to be tested, to be on the verge of death!”
