1931年4月17日，中央革命军事委员会主席项英，副主席朱德、毛泽东发布关于《第二次战争中的地方武装工作》的通令。通令指出：在第二次战争快要走到的当前，地方武装等须主动的向敌人袭击扰乱，灵活运用游击战术，应用“敌进我退、敌驻我扰、敌退我追、敌疲我战”的秘诀，采取“化众为零、化零为众”的方法，以完成其应有的任务。
通令强调游击队在执行作战任务中，除了执行一般的战斗纪律外，应加强每个队员的政治认识与信心，这是非常重要的。
On April 17, 1931, Xiang Ying, chairman of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission of the Communist Party of China, Zhu De, and Mao Zedong, vice chairmen, issued a general order on "the Mission of Local Armed Forces in the Second War to resist Kuomintang’s Attack". In the general order, it was pointed out that “At a time when the second war is approaching, in order to accomplish their assigned tasks, local armed forces must take the initiative to attack and disrupt the enemy, flexibly applying guerrilla tactics and adopting the military techniques including "retreat when the enemy advances, disturb the enemy when it is stationed, pursue the enemy when it withdraws, and fight the enemy when its soldiers become tired," and "dividing our armed forces into groups when there is a need to defend or hide ourselves and when the situation is advantageous to us, acting as a whole to eliminate the enemy".
The general order stresses that in the course of carrying out combat missions, in addition to obeying the general combat discipline, each member in local armed forces should have the awareness to maintain political integrity and be confident about the prospect of the Red Army.
