About This Novel
In March 1948, the East China Field Army and the Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu Field Army launched the Battle of Luoyang. Chen Shiju and Tang Liang commanded 28 regiments to storm Chiang Kai-shek's "key fortification" city. After seven days and nights of bloody battles (March 11-14), they pioneered the People's Liberation Army's infantry and artillery coordinated attack tactics, annihilating more than 20,000 people from the 206th Division of the Youth Army and capturing the division commander Qiu Xingxiang. This battle cut off the Longhai Railway, forcing Hu Lian's regiment to return for reinforcements and cover Liu and Deng's army as they moved to western Henan. Mao Zedong concluded that "by attacking Luoyang, the war situation in the Central Plains suddenly became clear", laying the foundation for the Eastern Henan Campaign.
