About This Novel
In September 1948, the East China Field Army launched the Jinan Campaign, concentrating 140,000 troops to attack the city and 180,000 troops to provide reinforcements. After eight days and nights of bloody fighting, on September 24, they captured the capital of Shandong Province, which was heavily garrisoned by 100,000 national troops, annihilated all the defending enemies (including an uprising of 20,000 people from the Ministry of Culture and Culture of Wu), and captured Wang Yaowu, commander of the Second Appeasement District. This battle was the first example of the People's Liberation Army "capturing a solidly fortified city", destroying the Kuomintang's "key defense" system, connecting the North China and East China liberated areas, and kicking off the strategic decisive battle. Mao Zedong praised it as "the first example of seizing a big city" and laid the foundation for the Huaihai Campaign.
