About This Novel

Pay tribute to all the Chinese sons and daughters who devoted themselves to the war against aggression and to defend their homeland and country. In 1941, the Third Battalion of the Eighth Route Army received the task of retaking Huankou Town and opening up the golden transportation line, but encountered an ambush set by Japanese commander Akiyama Onoro. In order to preserve the main force, instructor Sun Zhimin (nicknamed "Scholar") and battalion commander Wang Jishan decided to divide their forces into two groups: the main force was led by the deputy battalion commander to break through, while Sun Zhimin and Wang Jishan led 46 suicide squads to garrison the Chen Family Courtyard in Chenxinzhuang, using its easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack walls and gun towers to block the Japanese army and buy time for the large army. The Chen family compound became a flesh and blood mill. The death squads relied on the terrain to lay mines, chili noodles and other traps, and used inferior equipment to fight against the Japanese tanks, artillery and heavy armored brigade. During the battle, the soldiers fought bloody battles: Wu Si, the ruffian, died with the Japanese squad holding a grenade; Dong Yicheng dragged his broken leg and stuffed the grenade into the tank tracks, blowing up the tank but sacrificing himself; Shan Yun, Yao Zude and others died heroically in the attack and defense of the gun tower; Wang Jishan defended the main gun tower with injuries until he died of exhaustion. The Japanese attack became more and more frenzied, even using poisonous gas. Sun Zhimin's cousin Sun Zhihuai was once a puppet soldier who was greedy for life and feared death. After witnessing the sacrifice of his comrades, he suddenly came to his senses. He rushed towards the Japanese artillery array with a grenade and died together with the enemy. In order to protect the ancestral hall, Chen Xiulian, a girl from the Chen family, sounded the "General's Order" to scare the Japanese army, and eventually detonated explosives to coexist with the ancestral hall. Although the bloody battle at Chen Xinzhuang was tragic, it successfully bought time for the main force to retreat and preserved the golden transportation line. It demonstrated the iron-blooded spirit and righteousness of the Eighth Route Army soldiers who "would rather die than retreat" and the righteousness of their family and country, as well as the unyielding character of the Chinese people in the face of the invaders.
