    This novel is worth reading. It's based on the real-life story of the Sichuan Army's departure from Sichuan to fight against the Japanese. It comprehensively portrays the heroic deeds of the Sichuan Army on the anti-Japanese battlefield. There are no systems, no cheat codes, and no superhuman weapons. It all relied on human lives. The victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japan came from mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Countless revolutionary martyrs shed their blood to exchange for the happy life we enjoy today. Therefore, we have no reason and no right to forgive Japan. Down with Japanese imperialism! Long live the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japan! Long live the People's Republic of China!
