Near NanjingThere were many areas worth paying attention to near Nanjing. The following were some of the situations:
** 1. History and Military **
During the 1949 Huai Hai campaign, the military situation around Nanjing was tense. At that time, the Kuomingtang army was in a desperate situation in the Huaihai battlefield. In addition to Hu Zongnan, who was held back in Guanzhong, and Bai Chongxi's troops, who had conflicts with him, there were only the 4th, 21st, 52nd, and 88th armies guarding Nanjing. However, these armies around Nanjing were responsible for defending the vast areas of Jinglu, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang. They could not be transferred to the Huaihai battlefield.
