An accident sends Chen Yan from 2025 back to 1938, a year engulfed in war.
He becomes a company commander in the Eighth Route Army, cut off from the main force and trapped behind enemy lines. All he has are a few dozen exhausted soldiers, almost no ammunition, and little hope of escape.
The Japanese invaders’ iron hoofbeats thunder in his ears. Faced with the era’s most brutal realities, his modern understanding of the world and his moral values are shattered.
But Chen Yan never stops looking for a solution.
Outgunned? He uses modern chemistry to improve black powder, turning landmines into “anti-tank mines.” He applies fluid mechanics to mortar design, making locally manufactured weapons shoot farther and more accurately!
Cut off from supplies? He makes use of whatever is at hand, building irrigation projects so the people in the base areas can eat their fill. He smelts steel using primitive methods and builds small blast furnaces, bringing the clang of the arsenal to the depths of the mountains!
Tightly surrounded? He establishes a logistics system far ahead of its time, making supply distribution more efficient than the enemy’s, and modifies radios to create an invisible lifeline for intelligence.
From building the first water-powered firearms repair shop with his own hands to establishing a vast military-industrial system capable of producing homegrown rifles, bullets, and shells; from leading the remnants of his force in guerrilla warfare in the mountains to building them into an Eighth Route Army force that strikes fear into the Japanese invaders.
Chen Yan will use his own methods to give this desperate era a backbone of steel.
This is a tale of “industrial resistance” lost in the dust of history, a wartime battle song belonging to engineers!
Good, good, good, like, like, like 👍🏻
Zhishu really likes good-looking books
So far it looks okay, there is no system, it looks good
