Red Wilds Across the Mountains

He was the “Unbeaten God of War,” but one bloody battle cost him everything.

In the winter of 1940, smoke blanketed the North China battlefield. Chen Zhiming, a regiment commander in the Eighth Route Army, led a thousand elite soldiers and had never suffered more than ten percent casualties. His men revered him as the “Unbeaten God of War.” But the battle at Xiaotou Cliff shattered his legend: Japanese 120 mm field guns blasted his most trusted battalion commander to pieces in a concealed troop shelter, while seven hundred of his men were buried beneath the barren cliffs. Chen himself was badly wounded and stranded in a remote mountain village.

From god of war to wounded soldier, from the heights to the depths.

But a wolf is still a wolf.

On a snowy night in Wuxi County, Chen Zhiming gripped a Hanyang rifle he had picked up, dragging his injured leg behind him.

He would rally the scattered survivors and find his missing comrades;

He would repay blood with blood, cutting down the Japanese artillery commander with his own hands;

And on this battlefield behind enemy lines, he would use the fiercest tactics to fight the wildest battles!

“I can afford to lose once, but you Japanese devils can’t afford to lose even once!”
