Liberation War Records: Liberation of Tianjin

About This Novel
In January 1949, the Northeast Field Army launched the Tianjin Campaign with 340,000 troops. Liu Yalou commanded the troops to adopt the tactics of "advance from east to west and cut off from the middle". After 29 hours of fierce attack, on January 15, they completely wiped out 130,000 enemy defenders and captured Chen Changjie, commander of the Tianjin garrison of the National Army. This battle destroyed the fortress-like city defenses carefully constructed by the Kuomintang army. Artillery and tanks were used to break through deep ditches and high fortresses, cutting off the Peiping defenders' sea retreat, and forcing Fu Zuoyi to accept peace negotiations. The liberation of Tianjin became a model for the People's Liberation Army in modernizing cities and laid the foundation for the peaceful liberation of Peiping.
