The Great Decisive Battle: Battle of Liaoshen

About This Novel

It reflects the main body of the Liberation War - the Liaoshen Campaign among the three major battles. The Liaoshen Campaign started on September 12, 1948 on the railway line from Peiping to Shenyang, that is, the Beining Line. The primary goal was to cut off the Kuomintang's transportation lines for troops, weapons and ammunition to the Northeast region, and create a situation in which our Northeast Field Army closed the door on the Kuomintang troops. The end time was marked by the entry of our Northeast Field Army into Shenyang on November 1, 1948. The 52-day Liaoshen Campaign was the first major battle fought by the people's army founded and led by the Communist Party of China since the birth of the Nanchang Uprising. It created scale, prestige, confidence, experience, and an important base to serve the next two major battles. This battle not only defeated the coordinated operations of the Kuomintang army, land, sea and air force, but also eliminated two of the five main forces of the Kuomintang army at that time, with a total of 470,000 troops. It liberated the entire Northeast and brought about a decisive change in the balance of military power between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party on the battlefield across China.
