In the 156th article of Chinese history trivia, let's talk about the Battle of Pingjin. At the height of the fierce battle of the Huaihai Campaign, about 800,000 troops of the Northeast Field Army of the People's Liberation Army and 200,000 troops of the two corps in North China worked together to launch the Pingjin Campaign. **The three generals jointly formed the General Front Committee of the Pingjin Campaign, and commanded the battle situation in a unified manner with a game of chess.
In accordance with the strategic guidance of the People's Liberation Army, the PLA first adopted the strategy of division and encirclement to cut off the enemy's retreat. Then, flank at both ends, and finally harvest **, annihilating the encircled enemy forces one by one. With the liberation of Tianjin, Tanggu, Xin'an, and Zhangjiakou, a million liberation troops gathered around Beiping, ready to march towards the city.
In order to coordinate with the People's Liberation Army (PLA), which was about to attack the city, the Beiping underground party worked closely together to accurately obtain changes in the enemy's situation, and at the same time launched a political offensive to strive for a peaceful settlement. On January 21, 1949, Fu Zuoyi accepted the eight conditions put forward on January 14 and expressed his willingness to adapt peacefully. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) entered the city on January 31, and on February 3, the PLA held a solemn ceremony in Beiping.
This ceremony marked the peaceful liberation of the ancient cultural capital of Beiping, and the victory of the Battle of Pingjin. In the long river of history, reading this history makes people more wise. I look forward to continuing to share Chinese history knowledge next time.
