Introduction to the first episode of Liberation: On August 15, 1945, the Japanese imperialist aggressors announced their unconditional surrender. As the entire nation celebrated and eagerly anticipated the establishment of peace, Chiang Kai-shek unilaterally tore up the "October 10 Agreement" reached during the negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, issuing a secret order to commanders in various war zones to suppress the Communists. He appointed Bai Chongxi as Minister of National Defense, Chen Cheng as Chief of Staff, and He Yingqin as head of the Chinese Military Delegation to the United States. With the support of the United States, Chiang Kai-shek established a "Military Mediation Department" composed of Marshall, Zhang Qun, and Zhou Enlai for negotiations while actively preparing for civil war. Chiang arrogantly decided to annihilate the forces of Li Xiannian in the Central Plains Military Region within five days. After receiving intelligence, the Central Committee on the one hand telegraphed Zhou Enlai, who remained in Nanjing, instructing him to use his special status as a member of the military mediation team to expose Chiang's conspiracy; on the other hand, it ordered the Central Plains Military Region to prepare for enemy attacks and breakout operations.
