In 1931, the artillery fire of the September 18th Incident shattered the autumn tranquility of Peiping. Chen Yuanshan, a student at Yenching University, originally buried himself in books, but after witnessing the collapse of the country, he resolutely applied to the Whampoa Military Academy and embarked on the journey of the Anti-Japanese War with a group of passionate young people.
From the smoke of the Battle of Songhu to the bloody winter of Nanjing, from the stubborn defense of the Battle of Wuhan to the tug-of-war of the Changsha battlefield, Chen Yuanshan and his comrades built a line of defense with flesh and blood. Here are the honest and honest sharpshooter Luo Dayong, the iron-blooded instructor Qin Zhihong who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and Lin Wanqiu, a female doctor who went to the battlefield from medical school. They have been tempered and grown in the flames of war, and they have also witnessed the glory and darkness of human nature in life and death.
