The document made six specific provisions for punishing current counter-revolutionaries according to law.

"Notice Reaffirming that the Army is Never Allowed to Be an Air-raid Shelter" pointed out: We have repeatedly stated that the army (including hospitals, nursing homes, guest houses, etc.) must not become an air-raid shelter, harboring a small group of people in power who take the capitalist road in the party, and sheltering those who insist on implementing Those who follow the bourgeois reactionary line and those who evade mass struggle. However, there are still some units that have not done so. Party committees at all levels must immediately take resolute measures to prevent similar situations from happening again.

It also means that Mao Zedong has been very concerned about the phenomenon of chaos in the army, and he must firmly grasp the barrel of the gun.
