Thirty-thousand soldiers vs. 400,000 enemies. Surrounded by steep mountains and roaring rivers with no path forward, how did the Red Army pull off one of the most brilliant tactical victories in military history?

In 1935, along the rugged waters of southwest China's Guizhou Province, the Chishui River witnessed four crucial crossings that changed the course of Chinese history.
