About This Novel
In mid-August 1945, after a fierce battle with the Japanese army in Boktu, the Soviet Red Army smoothly moved southward along the Middle East Railway and captured Zhalantun, the capital of the puppet Hungarian Andong Province, on August 17. Thus, the Japanese and puppet rule in this area came to an end. In order to seize the fruits of victory, in early September, the Kuomintang sent Ma Chuanyue, commander of the Northeast Liberation Army, to collect traitors and bandits from the Japanese-Puppet period along the Zhongchang Railway and mobilize landlords' armed forces. By the end of the year, nine brigades were organized. Because the Soviet army at that time stipulated that Chinese troops were not allowed to move within 20 kilometers along the railway, Ma Chuanyue stationed the 6th and 7th brigades in the Moguqi and Lisandian areas, with the purpose of seizing Zhalantun when the Soviet troops withdrew.
