Features: After the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Party Central Committee made the wise decision to seize Northeast China. Troops from Shandong, North China, and other regions converged on Northeast China by sea and land. Under the command of our army's renowned generals such as Lin Biao, Luo Ronghan, and Liu Yalou, they fought three campaigns across the Yangtze River, secured four defenses of Linjiang, bled in the Battle of Siping, and decisively defeated the KMT army, annihilating hundreds of thousands of its main forces and liberating Northeast China. Subsequently, they advanced into Hebei, eastward to Tianjin, westward to threaten Beijing, and forced the surrender of Fu Zuoyi's group. Then, they fought fierce battles in South China, defeating Bai Chongxi's group in campaigns such as Hengbao and Guangdong. Finally, they crossed the sea and liberated Hainan Island. This book narrates the birth of strategic decisions by the command headquarters and the dramatic, earth-shaking, and ghost-tear-inducing intense battle scenes, depicting the battle journey of the Fourth Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army from the White Mountains and Black Waters to the ends of the earth, sweeping across half of China.
