The Golden Special Forces

At the end of 1936, finding clothes and food for the troops became an urgent problem. Their superiors sent men to infiltrate the Zhaoyuan Gold Mine in Shandong and gather gold by any means necessary. After struggling against enemies, allies, and everyone in between, they finally found the gold, only to learn from an informant that local bandits had made off with every last bit of it from the cellar. The Jiaodong Guerrilla Force concentrated its forces to wipe out the bandits, formed a Gold Special Task Force, and set off west with 500 jin of gold. Their mission was to deliver it to Jinan, where local guerrillas would take over and carry it onward. When they lost contact with their unit, they received orders to head straight for their destination. They pressed west without hesitation, broke through one blockade after another, forced their way across the Yellow River, and finally delivered the gold.
