It resulted in the Communists taking the island from the nationalists. Order of battle: Defenders, nationalist order of battle: The 17th Army Attackers, communist order of battle: The 91st Division of the 31st Army The 94th Division of the 32nd Army After the Zhangzhou-Xiamen Campaign, more than 5,000 soldiers of the Nationalist 17th Army retreated to Eastern Mountain (Dongshan, 东山) Island off Fujian. Since the Nationalists were using the island as a stepping-stone to launch raids against the mainland, the 91st Division of the 31st Army and the 94th Division of the 32nd Army of the People's Liberation Army launched an assault to take the island on 11 May 1950 with the help of three artillery battalions.
