The Chinese People's Liberation Army has traveled a glorious path spanning 80 years. Over those eight decades, this people's army has written countless immortal chapters and achieved dazzling victories. Of course, its most remarkable and brilliant period was the more than 20 years of arduous warfare. It was this extraordinary era that made our army worthy of its name.
During those more than 20 years of war, there were four campaigns to encircle and suppress the enemy, the Long March of 25,000 li, the great victory at Pingxingguan, the Hundred Regiments Offensive, the strategic decisive battles of Liaoshen, Pingjin, Huaihai, and the Yangtze River Crossing, and the first through fifth campaigns on the Korean battlefield, among others. These were all wonders of warfare, both in China and abroad, and masterpieces of the People's Army, achievements no other force could have accomplished.
This book recounts the stories of the 343rd, 344th, 358th, 359th, 385th, and 386th Brigades, as well as the New 1st, 5th, 1st, and 23rd Brigades of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. From the start of the War of Resistance Against Japan onward, dozens of brigades with official designations served in the history of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, along with dozens of other units of roughly brigade size. To write about only ten of so many brigades is like describing just a few green patches in a vast oasis.
This book is written in a simple and unpretentious style, recounting the glorious history of the People's Army in plain language. The character descriptions are vivid, making me feel as if I were seeing those brave and fearless generals and soldiers. The 344th Brigade mentioned in the book is truly remarkable; under the leadership of so many outstanding generals, it won numerous battles!
It's alright, you should definitely watch it all.
This book is well written!
