Features: The sound of gunfire from the Nanwan Incident did not deter the Communist Party members who had been tested by blood and fire. Faced with the Nationalists' abolition of their ranks, the brutal "scorched earth" campaign by the Japanese invaders, and the threats of surrender from the Nanjing puppet regime, the New Fourth Army rose resolutely from the brink of despair. In Yancheng, it solemnly declared the establishment of a headquarters led by Liu Shaoqi and Chen Yi. From then on, hundreds of thousands of anti-Japanese soldiers fought fiercely with the Japanese aggressors across the Yangtze River and the southern regions. This book, with its strong historical atmosphere, showcases the dramatic and grand battles of the New Fourth Army on the anti-Japanese front. With a delicate pen, it depicts the richly fleshed-out personalities and spiritual journeys of a generation of revolutionary leaders. It provides an insight into how the New Fourth Army, after struggling to stand up from the brink of despair, maintained the indomitable spirit of the Chinese nation and the dignity of revolutionary soldiers amidst a complex, intertwined, and double-edged situation, marked by blood and tears.
