1947, after the People's Liberation Army of China changed from strategic defense to strategic attack, with the approval of the Central Committee and the Central Military Commission, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Field Army liberated Shijiazhuang, a major town in North China, from the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang on June 5438+0 12. The liberation of Shijiazhuang is "a precedent for the People's Liberation Army to seize big cities". Commander-in-Chief Zhu De was very happy and wrote a poem "Conquering Shimen":
Conquering Shimen Shimen blocked Taihang Mountain, and the warriors opened their fingers. Destroy the whole division and collect the important towns, and don't teach Huma to return to Qin Guan. The tactics of tackling key problems have opened up new faces, and people who have been trapped for a long time have smiled. The heroes of our party are really numerous, and we never worry about temples and spots.
