Former Site of the Frontline Command Post of the Pingjin Campaign

Located in Mengjialou Village, Jixian County, in the farmhouse of a local wealthy family. The house is built with a brick-and-wood structure, featuring a long and narrow courtyard with orderly rows of east and west wing rooms, while the main house is of a through-hall style with one bright room and two dark rooms. The east and west wing rooms were used to accommodate combat, signals, and security personnel; the east inner room served as the residence of the Front Committee Secretary and Commander; the west inner room was set up as the operations room. Anti-bullet wire mesh was installed on the roof.
In December 1948, after the victorious conclusion of the Liaoshen Campaign, and in accordance with instructions from the Central Committee, nearly one million troops of the Northeast Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, along with special command units, rapidly advanced into the pass without resting, establishing their headquarters at Mengjialou and designating the site as the command center for the Pingjin Campaign.
