Yangtze River Crossing campaign (1949)
On the Chinese Revolution map as “The Yangtze crossing”
20–21 Apr 1949 — After peace terms lapse, a million men cross the river on junks and sampans on a 500-km front in two nights; Nanjing falls on the 23rd. The last great natural line of the war is passed almost without pause — the Nationalist army south of it exists mostly on paper.
