This book has no System, but the protagonist does have a bit of a cheat: his talent. The early chapters move quickly to set things up for the protagonist, while later chapters shift to detailed, slower-paced large-scale battles. Starting from Chapter 34, the battle tactics are handled very well. The author is a newcomer, but an experienced web-novel reader. —Reads—Score—Shelves

    A different kind of Nationalist Army, a different division commander, a different kind of military exploits. *The Battle of Taojiaba* is a true historical novel. The protagonist is Wang Jinzai, a peculiar anti-Japanese general of the 128th Division of the Nationalist Army. He was based in Mianyang, Hubei, solely focused on resisting the Japanese, refusing to submit to Chiang Kai-shek, and also clashing with the New Fourth Army. He was unyielding, establishing his own independent kingdom. He was bloodthirsty and a skilled warrior. He disrupted the Japanese westward advance and tied down the main Japanese force centered on Wuhan. He frequently inflicted heavy defeats on the Japanese; in the Battle of Taojiaba, he killed 1400 Japanese soldiers at the cost of 400 casualties. Even Chiang Kai-shek, who had always been at odds with him, had to admire him. The Japanese, extremely annoyed, resorted to brute force tactics to try and annihilate him, suffering heavy losses. He is an anti-Japanese hero who should be acknowledged.
