Fall of Yan’an (1947)
On the Chinese Revolution map as “Yan’an falls”
19 Mar 1947 — Hu Zongnan’s 200,000 troops took the cave capital after the CCP had evacuated everything that mattered. The Nationalists gained a symbol and could photograph their banners over the town, but it had no military value; meanwhile Lin Biao was counterattacking in Manchuria. This was both a high point of the Nationalist advance and a turning point.
