The arsenal’s suicide squad: Wei Lihuang leads eight hundred “men of fire,” explosives strapped to their bodies, as they charge Japanese tanks.
The final radio message: “The Yunnan Army has broken through Shanhaiguan! We’ll be there by noon!” Frozen fingers tap out the last hope of besieged Shenyang.
