The Army Crosses the Chasm

About This Novel

After the three major battles, the Kuomintang government attempted to use the natural dangers of the Yangtze River to "rule the Yangtze River" to prevent the People's Liberation Army from moving south. On April 20, 1949, the Kuomintang government refused to sign a domestic peace agreement, and the peace negotiations broke down. On April 21, Chairman Mao Zedong and Commander-in-Chief Zhu De issued orders to march across the country, and the People's Liberation Army launched a cross-river campaign. The People's Liberation Army forcibly crossed the Yangtze River on a front line of more than 500 kilometers from Hukou in the west to Jiangyin in the east, completely destroying the Yangtze River defense line of more than 600,000 Kuomintang defenders. On the 23rd, Nanjing, the capital of the Kuomintang, was liberated, announcing the demise of the 22-year reactionary rule of the Kuomintang. The People's Liberation Army liberated Shanghai on May 27, and Chongming Island on June 2. At this point, the cross-river battle ended successfully. This battle lasted 42 days and wiped out more than 430,000 enemies, creating favorable conditions for the People's Liberation Army to liberate all of East China and march into the central, south and southwest regions.
