Between September and October 1948, the Liaoshen Campaign and the Jinan Campaign were successively victorious, marking the arrival of a decisive turning point in the Liberation War. At this critical juncture, Chiang Kai-shek (played by Zhao Hengduo) urgently mobilized the superior forces of three corps totaling 170,000 to defend the Central Plains. In November of the same year, the East China Field Army launched an attack on Huang Botaos (played by Xu Huishan) corps, and the largest-scale Huaihai Campaign officially began. The timely defection of underground party member He Zhangfeilin provided the time-disadvantaged Su Yu (played by Xie Weicai) with a tactical opportunity, successfully cutting off Huang Botaos retreat. Following this, both the Nationalist and Communist forces deployed their troops, each demonstrating their prowess, turning the Central Plains battlefield into a massive, destructive vortex. The Huaihai Campaign rapidly expanded to an unprecedented scale. This was a pivotal battle that would determine the fate of the Chinese nation, destined to be forever inscribed in history... This film is a commemorative work for the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, and it is the second part of the "Great Decisive Battles" trilogy.
