Liberation War Documentary: Liberation of Shaoguan

About This Novel
In October 1949, the 15th Corps of the Fourth Field Army launched the Guangdong Campaign. After defeating Bai Chongxi's group at the Battle of Hengbao, Si Ye quickly marched into northern Guangdong and captured Shaoguan, the hub of the Guangdong-Han railway, on October 7. The national army abandoned the city and fled south. This soldier spared no effort to protect the city, seizing 32 locomotives and 17 ordnance warehouses, cutting off the Guangzhou defenders' land retreat. The liberation of Shaoguan opened the door to northern Guangdong, and the main forces of the Four Fields marched along the railway to Guangzhou (liberated on October 14), accelerating the collapse of the Kuomintang regime in South China and laying the foundation for the subsequent Guangxi campaign to annihilate the remnants of Bai Chongxi.
