"Beacons in the Forest" is a war epic set in the fictional animal world "Lingsen Era". When the militaristic Empire of the Rising Sun burns the flames of war into the peaceful forest, Xiong Da, Xiong Er and Bald Qiang, who originally believed in "protecting the forest", are forced to get involved in a desperate struggle that concerns the survival of their homeland.
The story follows the naive and brave Xiong Er who grows into a wise and courageous demolition team leader, the calm Xiong Da transforms into a far-sighted strategic commander, and the mechanical genius Bald Qiang uses his wisdom to develop weapons to fight the enemy. They unite their partners in the forest - the golden monkey Jiji who established the "Tree Canopy" intelligence network, the owl Tutu who died in the air reconnaissance, the squirrel Bengbeng who ran for communication, the gopher Luobotou who built the "Underground Great Wall" through tunnel warfare but ultimately died, and many ordinary and tough little animals. Together they formed the Beilu Forest Party and launched a flexible and tenacious guerrilla war.
At the same time, the Nanlu Forest League, headed by the snow leopard Jiang Bao, the hippopotamus Lu Chengma, and the bison Yue Hanniu, launched a fierce duel with the invaders on the frontal battlefield. From the bloody tug-of-war in the Pine Needles Ridge to the steel defense line of the Raging River; from the life-and-death struggle in the Thousand-Cave Maze to the brutal air battle in the Iron Winged Sky; from the tragic final charge of the bison herd in Broken Ridge Valley to the decisive battle on the East China Sea... The two camps went from suspicion to cooperation, and gradually came together amidst sacrifice and blood and fire.
This is not only a story about battle, but also a profound fable about growth, sacrifice and memory. It depicts the glory of human nature (animal nature) in desperate situations,
