About This Novel
In December 1949, the main force of the Second Field Army and He Long's 18th Corps launched the Chengdu Campaign. Under the command of Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping, three armies surrounded Hu Zongnan's group of 300,000 people. After a fierce battle in Longquan Mountain, they broke through the encirclement. On December 27, they completely wiped out the enemy and captured five regiment commanders. Hu Zongnan took the opportunity to escape. This battle annihilated the last main force of the Chinese army on the mainland, captured more than 200 tanks and armored vehicles, and 11 aircraft, ending the Kuomintang's rule in the southwest. The liberation of Chengdu marked the basic end of the war in mainland China. Mao Zedong called "the last battle on the mainland ended with a complete victory."
