Xu Ge was born into the Whampoa Military Academy, but halfway through his life he joined the Communist Party. With nothing but his faith in the Party, he led a battle-hardened team deep behind enemy lines, striking fear into the Japanese and the Kuomintang alike.

In an instant, the enemy would be wiped out, while he made it away unscathed.
