The Battle of Crossing the River was the first strategic pursuit campaign of the People's Liberation Army of China, and it was also the beginning of the March to the whole country. This is a strategic battle made up of three combat modes: river attack, land pursuit and annihilation, and urban battle. The scope of its battlefield, the number of troops participating in the war and the speed of phase change are unprecedented in the history of China People's Liberation Army.
This sentence comes from Mao Zedong's "Seven Laws: The People's Liberation Army Occupy Nanjing". The original sentence is:
Zhongshan is windy and rainy, and millions of heroes cross the river. Tiger's dragon card is better than in the past, upside down and generous.
Translation:
The revolutionary storm shook Nanjing, the capital of the Chiang dynasty. The People's Liberation Army broke through the natural barrier of the Yangtze River with millions of mighty men, and went straight to Nanjing, which Chiang Kai-shek painstakingly managed for three and a half months. Nanjing, an ancient capital famous for its grandeur and precipitousness, has returned to the hands of the people. It is more beautiful than before. This earth-shaking change is enough to make people sing generously and rejoice.
