About This Novel
On August 24, 1945, the Jiaodong Eighth Route Army took advantage of the surrender of the Japanese army and stormed Yantai, annihilating more than 5,000 Japanese and puppet troops, becoming the first coastal port city liberated by the CCP. In the autumn of 1947, the Kuomintang troops briefly reoccupied the area. On October 15, 1948, the Shandong Corps was liberated for the second time, wiping out all 8,000 enemy defenders. The city changed hands three times and finally belonged to the people, preserving national industries such as Changyu Winery and Shipyard, and opening up the maritime trade channel in the liberated area. It is known as the "key to the liberation of Jiaodong" and provided a forward base for the liberation of Qingdao in 1949.
