Lin Yue traveled through time.
Good news: August 12, 1937, Shanghai, the Battle of Songhu had not started yet, so he had time to run.
Bad news: He became a poor apprentice in a machine factory. His entire wealth was half a pack of Laodao cigarettes, a book of "Mechanical Drawing", and a photo of the girl he had a crush on.
Even worse news: no system, no abilities, no cheats.
His only weapons are the things in his head - the structure of firearms, battlefield first aid, the timeline of World War II combat history, and a modern engineer's obsession with "efficiency."
Starting from an old German lathe in Shunchang Machinery Factory, he used local methods to create the first Molotov cocktail and rescued the first batch of trapped soldiers.
Later someone asked him: You are a machine repairer, why do you have to go to war?
He said: "Because I have calculated. If I repair one more gun, one less person will die on the front line. This is a good deal."
This is a book about "knowledge is a weapon".
It's also a book about "remembering every name."
During the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, from Shanghai to Nanjing, from Wuhan to the borders of Henan and Anhui, he walked and recorded all the way.
Some names are circled. Some don't.
