Features: This is aliterature about advancing from Yunnan to Tibet, a firsthand account: A large army of over 1,800 soldiers and 1,000 horses carried 4.5 million catties of grain and a large amount of ammunition and supplies, while also carrying their own rations. They climbed over Meili Snow Mountain; relying on just a few suspension bridges, they managed to cross the Nujiang Grand Canyon with the entire army and supplies. They ventured into the primeval forest, battling against nature, the land, and the remnants of the Guomindang, and encountered the kind-hearted wildmen. They stepped into the swamps, fighting against invisible traps and visible death, and eventually emerged from a deathland where even eagles dared not land. All the struggles, efforts, and human miracles of this team were for the strategic plan of achieving the peaceful liberation of Tibet by Chairman Mao and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
