About This Novel
In December 1947, troops from the Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu Military Region launched the Battle of Yuncheng under the command of Xu Xiangqian. The People's Liberation Army used tunnel blasting combined with coordinated infantry and artillery tactics. After 19 days and nights of bloody battles, the People's Liberation Army captured the strategic fortress Yuncheng in southern Shanxi on December 28, wiping out more than 13,000 enemy defenders and capturing 112 artillery pieces. This battle was the first example of "civilian work destroying a group of bunkers", destroying the hub of the National Army's Yellow River defense line, opening up the channel between Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan and the northwest liberated areas, accumulating experience for subsequent offensives in Linfen and Taiyuan, and laying the foundation for the liberation of Shanxi.
