About This Novel
In July 1948, the 6th column of the Central Plains Field Army attacked northern Hubei. Wang Jinshan commanded the troops to implement the "heart-breaking tactics": Tongbai Military Region forcibly crossed the Han River to cut off the enemy's retreat, and the main force stormed the city wall from three sides. After 14 days and nights of bloody battles (July 2-16), the Ming Dynasty stone wall was blown down and penetrated into the core, 21,000 enemy defenders were wiped out, and the spy leader Kang Ze (commander of the 15th Appeasement District) was captured. This battle pioneered the "abandoning mountains and attacking the city" strategy, preserving Zhongxuan Tower, Green Shadow Wall and other historic sites, controlling the golden waterway in the upper reaches of the Han River, integrating Tongbai with the Jianghan Liberated Area, and opening up the southern gateway for the Huaihai Campaign.
