On the front line, Li Deming's first company met Chai Wanhong, the company commander of the Jinsui Army. Chai Wanhong led his remaining soldiers to join the second company of the Independent Regiment. When Li Deming fought with the Japanese army for the first time, he fainted before the battle. Later, he attacked the enemy camp alone at night and took the head of the enemy squadron leader, which impressed everyone. He was also ordered to form a death squad to sneak into the enemy and destroy the opponent's artillery positions. Although he failed, nine people survived. On the way back to Jian, they met Fang Qin who was ravaged by Japanese soldiers. Fang Qin insisted on joining them as soldiers to take revenge.
