Features: From September 1945, when the victory of the Anti-Japanese War was declared, to June 1946, when the Liberation War broke out, China wandered at the crossroads of peace and civil war for ten months. However, unfortunately, this period did not become the starting point for China to move toward peaceful construction, but rather the eve of the Liberation War. On the Chinese political stage during this time, both peace and civil war coexisted, with negotiations and battles alternating, staging a grand prelude to the war with intermittent conflicts and pauses. In this brief prelude, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) excellently fulfilled the major military tasks assigned by the Communist Party of China: successfully adjusting strategic deployments, smoothly implementing strategic shifts, severely striking back at the encroachment of the Kuomintang (KMT) army on liberated areas, and preparing comprehensively for a full-scale civil war from all aspects. This book combines images and text to vividly depict the history of the PLA's growth and development, as well as its arduous battles. It holds great significance for understanding the tremendous contributions of the PLA during the Anti-Japanese War, as well as for researching and studying the development and growth of the People's Army.
