The Songhu battlefield, a meat grinder of flesh and blood. Lu Jiuzhou, a soldier in the Guangxi Army, charges a thousand miles in straw sandals. Everywhere he looks, the country lies in ruins and the land is strewn with the dead. A kind old squad leader takes a bullet for him and dies. A little girl, too young to understand, is blown to pieces right before his eyes... His fury is beyond control!
At the brink of despair, he unexpectedly acquires a holographic map and is somehow expected to take on steel-winged monsters with a rifle!
“He’s insane!” his comrades cry.
“He’s a hero!” the refugees wail.
When a Japanese aircraft spirals out of control and crashes in a trail of smoke, the fleeing soldiers regain their fighting spirit and join his ranks one after another. The deputy squad leader presses a bloodstained letter from home into his hands. “If we don’t make it back, remember to write to our families...”
Bearing the dead’s final wishes and the hopes of the living, he marches along a blood-soaked road toward a battle for the fate of the nation, one where nine out of ten are destined to fall! We soldiers give our lives to our country. We either win, or die!
