Plain Beacon Smoke

At the beginning of 1938, gunpowder smoke suddenly rose in the central Hebei Plain, and the Japanese invaders crushed their homes with iron hoofs. Chen Ji, a simple and honest farmer, awakened after the death of his relatives. He led his fellow villagers to hide in abandoned cellars to survive, and then joined forces with guerrillas to transform them into a criss-crossing "Underground Great Wall." Faced with the "Three Lights Policy" of the Japanese Army Major Matsumoto, special agent infiltration and poison gas water attacks, Chen Ji used wisdom as a blade and the terrain as a shield. With the support of blacksmith Wang Laowu, Orion Zhang Meng and other local heroes, Chen Ji upgraded the tunnel warfare from sporadic resistance to a large-scale battle. Seven years of bloodshed, from the life-and-death confrontation in the threshing floor at the entrance of the village to the thrilling journey deep into the enemy camp; from smashing the Japanese army's "security enhancement" conspiracy to breaking the armor offensive of brigade leader Okamura, Chen Ji led the soldiers and civilians to engage in more than a thousand confrontations with the Japanese invaders in the tunnel maze. When his daughter Chen Xiaoya was taken hostage and the core area of ​​the tunnel was excavated by engineers, he had to make a difficult choice between family ties and justice. At the beginning of 1945, Chen Ji led the "Plains Guerrilla Column" to launch a general offensive, launching a final showdown with his old enemy Matsumoto deep in the tunnels, building a monument to the war of resistance with his flesh and blood, and composing a legendary plains epic that annihilated more than 9,000 Japanese and puppet troops.
