❄️ Winter 1939. Deep in the misty Taihang Mountains at Huangtuling, soldiers and local residents from the Jin-Cha-Ji Base Area teamed up in a daring plan against occupying forces.
Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Eighth Route Army laid a trap worthy of a blockbuster plot twist—like a scene ripped from a war movie. Guerrilla tactics and local knowledge turned the rugged terrain into a perfect stage.
The result? The legendary fall of Lieutenant General Norihide Abe, known as the "Flower of Generals." His defeat sent shockwaves through enemy ranks and ignited hope across anti-Japanese base areas.
CGTN reporter Ning Hong hiked these rugged hills to piece together the story behind the ambush. Residents recall secret signals, hidden tunnels, and the unity that powered this mission.
This epic ambush shows how courage, teamwork, and quick thinking can rewrite history. Even in the harshest winters, solidarity can spark victories! 🎖️❄️
