In April 1950, the People's Liberation Army launched the campaign to take Hainan Island from Nationalist forces, the last major battle of the Chinese Civil War. This episode dives into the amphibious assault, the use of junks and motorized boats, the role of local Communist guerrillas, and the strategic decisions by commanders Lin Biao and Xue Yue. We explore why Hainan fell, how the Nationalists evacuated 70,000 troops to Taiwan, and what this victory meant for Mao's consolidation of power. A lesser-known but pivotal campaign that sealed the Communist victory. #HainanCampaign #ChineseCivilWar #LinBiao #XueYue #PLA #AmphibiousAssault #1949 #1950 #MaoZedong #QiongzhouStrait #Hainan #NationalistChina #Taiwan #LeizhouPeninsula #History #FexingoHistory #MilitaryHistory #EastAsia Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
