The Battle of Huangqiao = Huang Qiao Jue Zhan

Description: This film depicts the battle of Huangqiao (or: Huang Bridge) between the Chinese Communist Party and the KMT during the anti-Japanese war. In 1940, the New Route 4 Army decided to set up an anti-Japanese base in the Subei area (Jiangsu province), but the KMT sent troops 10 times more than the New Route 4 Army in order to eliminate it. The first confrontation was in Taizhou, where two chief KMT commanders in Taizhou were persuaded by CCP’s well-known general Chen Yi to join the anti-Japanese force. Chen Yi later attacked another troop of KMT and caught its leader Lin Taiyuan alive. However, Chen Yi released Lin and persuaded him again. The vice general commander of the Sulu area, Han Deqin did not want to give up and decided to have a battle with Chen’s troops at Huang Bridge. Led by Chen Yi and Su Yu, the New Route 4 Army defeated the KMT troops ten times of its size. The battle eliminated the KMT hardliners’ hope to destroy the anti-Japanese alliance between CCP and KMT, and was crucial for the foundation of the Subei anti-Japanese base.
