After transmigrating through time, military historian Cheng Hao finds himself in the hail of gunfire at Sihang Warehouse. Beside him are the legendary “Eight Hundred Heroes,” whose names are etched in history:
The Confucian general Xie Jinyuan is both the commander who plans every move and vows, “This place will be our tomb,” and an ordinary husband who writes a farewell letter to his wife and children in the dead of night. Veteran Wang Dashan, a sharpshooter with a thick Shandong accent, is rough around the edges but deeply loyal. His great saber strikes fear into the Japanese. Recruit Li Zhenghua, a young farmer’s son from Hubei who had never even touched a rifle before the battle, is forged in blood and fire, growing from a boy sick with fear into a fearless soldier...
With reverence for history, Cheng Hao shares their bowl of coarse rice and defends every inch of their position. He knows what fate has in store for each of them, yet cannot change the tide of history. All he can do is use his gun and knowledge of the future in this unprecedentedly brutal defense of an isolated city, remembering every face, bearing witness to every sacrifice, and protecting the flag that symbolizes their vow to fight to the death: the flag of the isolated army!
