Features: By the end of 1949, the Kuomintang forces entrenched on Hainan Island attempted to rely on the natural barrier of the Qiongzhou Strait and their so-called naval strength to resist the crossing of the People's Liberation Army of China. The vanguard unit of a certain army detachment, Steel Company, arrived at Leizhou Peninsula and united with the broad masses of fisherman, actively engaging in naval training. With tenacious determination, they overcame the waves and employed flexible and bold tactics to defeat the enemy ships, driving them into a disorganized retreat. With the support of the masses, the army demonstrated fearless heroism and ingenious tactics, creating a miracle of wooden boats defeating warships, sinking the enemy flagship "Taihua," achieving a complete victory in the naval battle, and liberating Hainan Island.
