The 27th Army is not only the trump card of the Ninth Corps of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, but also the famous "Tiger Army" in the People's Liberation Army. In particular, after the "Battle of Chosin Lake" in the Korean battlefield, the 27th Army is even more famous.
The movie "Chosin Lake", which is being screened nationwide, once again shows the story of the 27th Army's units annihilating the US military ace "Polar Bear" regiment in North Korea.

The sound of military trumpets, the sound of military songs, the slaughter of military authority, and the soul of the army are long ago.
The predecessor of the 27th Army was the 9th Column of the East China Field Army formed in 1947 by the 5th Division, the 6th Division and the 3rd Garrison Brigade of the Jiaodong Military Region, with Xu Shiyou and Lin Hao as the political commissar. In February 1949, Huaye Jiuzhong was reorganized into the 27th Army of the People's Liberation Army, the first commander Nie Fengzhi, political commissar Liu Haotian, and subordinate to the Ninth Corps of the Third Field Army.
What laid the foundation for this unit to become the main force in the army was the offensive operation of the Battle of Jinan in 1948. Subsequently, they participated in the Huaihai Campaign to encircle huang Botao's corps and double-stack the siege and annihilation of Du Yuming's group.
In the Battle of the Crossing River, the 27th Army, as the main force in the liberation of Shanghai, took the lead in breaking into the city. On the night of the liberation of Shanghai, the officers and men of the whole army slept in the streets of Shanghai, and qiu did not commit any crimes, which became a permanent beautiful talk.
The 27th Army crossed the Yalu River with the Ninth Corps in October 1950. After experiencing the flames of war, he has made great achievements.
After returning from the Korean battlefield, the 27th Army was successively subordinated to the Nanjing Military Region and the Beijing Military Region, and made repeated achievements in defending border defense and building the motherland.
After reading the historical materials and counting carefully, only in 1955, the founding of the People's Republic of China was awarded the title, and the 27th Army walked out of more than twenty generals (including several who left the 27th Army before entering the DPRK), which can be described as shining stars.
