Iron-Blooded Soldier King: From the Battle of Shanghai

Modern special forces soldier Shen Lian unexpectedly transmigrates to the Songhu battlefield in 1937, where he experiences firsthand the brutal battle to defend and retake Luodian, known as the “meat grinder”; stands alongside the Eight Hundred Heroes in their desperate defense of Sihang Warehouse; witnesses the Nationalist army’s disgraceful avoidance of battle outside Nanjing; faces a hundred enemies alone in the street fighting at Taierzhuang; launches a nighttime raid on Zhanggu Mountain during the Battle of Wanjialing; and makes a name for himself overseas in the Hundred Regiments Offensive. From an unknown foot soldier in the trenches, he grows into the “Blood-and-Iron God of War” in the eyes of his fellow soldiers.
