Introduction: Located at No. 2 Yaowangmiao East Street, Yangliuqing Town. It is a late Qing Dynasty residential building, a blue-brick courtyard with 16 rooms covering an area of 280 square meters. In 1984, it was converted into the "Exhibition Hall of the Former Site of the Tianjin Front Command of the Pingjin Campaign," with the name of the exhibition hall inscribed by Xiao Jinguang, former commander of the First Corps of the Northeast Field Army and deputy commander of the Fourth Field Army. On the eve of the Tianjin Campaign, the Chinese People's Liberation Army held multiple high-level military meetings here to plan combat strategies and direct operations. Notably, on January 14, 1949, Liu Yalou, commander of the 14th Corps of the Fourth Field Army, issued the general offensive order for the Battle of Tianjin from this site. After 29 hours of fierce fighting, over 130,000 troops of Chen Changjie’s forces were completely annihilated, and Tianjin was liberated.
