What is the background and conclusion of the PLA's million-strong army crossing the Yangtze River?

At the beginning of 1949, the three major battles of Huaihai, Liaoshen and Ping Jin ended, and it was a foregone conclusion that the China People's Liberation Army won the national victory. However, the reactionary Kuomintang government still stubbornly resisted. After three and a half months of hard work to defend the Yangtze River, it openly refused to sign a domestic peace agreement on April 20th.

On April 2 1 and 1949, Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu De immediately issued the order of "March to the whole country", and the People's Liberation Army launched the battle of crossing the river in the early hours of the same day.

On the night of April 22nd, 1949, Comrade Mao Zedong wrote a press release that comprehensively reported the latest situation on the front line-"One Million Troops of the People's Liberation Army Crossing the Yangtze River".

By the time of power generation, most of the troops on the East Road have passed the south bank, and the rest can pass on the 23rd. The enemy here has a strong resistance. However, in the fierce battle from the afternoon of February/Kloc-0 to the afternoon of the 22nd, I have annihilated and defeated all the enemies of resistance, occupied vast areas in Yangzhong, Zhenjiang and Jiangyin counties, controlled Jiangyin fortress and blocked the Yangtze River.
