This book is the third part of Zhang Henshui's "Anti-Japanese War Trilogy". It tells the story of the Japanese army in the autumn of 1943. In order to plunder strategic materials and contain the Chinese army from counterattacking Yunnan and Burma, the Japanese army dispatched a large number of troops in North China and invaded Changde. The 57th Division of the 74th Army of the Kuomintang, codenamed "Hu Ben", vowed to defend Changde to the death. 8,000 Warriors "one against eight" fought bloody street battles with the Japanese invaders for 16 days and nights, and suffered all casualties. The entire division, from the division commander down to the ordinary soldiers, share the same hatred for the enemy, regardless of life and death, and many heroic figures and heroic deeds have emerged. From peripheral operations to dismantling the enemy's offensive section by section, the officers and soldiers of the entire division have a will to die, making the Japanese invaders pay a bloody price for every step forward. This battle was tragic and tragic. The Japanese army described it as "terrible" after the war and admitted that the resistance of the Chinese army "can be regarded as one of the most fierce since the battle to defend Shanghai." Mr. Zhang Henshui's courageous and heroic work was written as a "pleasure for the fallen soldiers of the 57th Division". It was completely based on real historical materials and oral accounts of those who witnessed the war. From the division commander to the fireman, all the names in the book are real, and the time and place are completely consistent with the history of the war.
