III. Hero Ship on the Yangtze River

Seventy-four years ago, the People's Liberation Army achieved a momentous victory by crossing the Yangtze River, marking the liberation of China. The Hero Ship on the Yangtze River was the first to reach the south of the river during the Crossing the Yangtze River Campaign. The crew transported over 1,000 soldiers, 180 horses, and military supplies by navigating through the booms of guns.
