Xuefeng Mountain: the Last Battle

In the spring of 1945, Japan launched a last-ditch attempt to seize Zhijiang Air Force Base. Relying on the natural dangers of Xuefeng Mountain, the Chinese army launched the last large-scale battle on the frontal battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War - the Battle of Western Hunan. The novel reproduces this history of blood and fire in a panoramic manner. The regiment commander Shi Potian led his troops to defend Wugang and built the Great Wall of flesh and blood together with the people in the city; Shen Jiujin, an Orion in western Hunan, joined the army to avenge his family and fought with one against a hundred in the Jiangkou blocking battle; Fang Wenxuan, a student soldier, wrote a blood-stained diary and fought with 116 people from the 9th Company Comrades died heroically in Wuyang; peasant girl Yang Manmei picked up her father's shotgun and fought side by side with the defenders; engineer company commander Zhang Zhengfang repaired lifelines amidst artillery fire; young boy Xiang Xiaomao followed his father across the line of fire and grew up in the flames of war. From the forerunner of the victory of Wuyang, to the iron wall of the defense of Wugang, from the flesh and blood of the blockade at the mouth of the river, to the life and death of the eagle in Longtan, from the minced meat at the battlefield at the entrance of the cave, to the glory of the surrender at Zhijiang, the novel interweaves the fate of dozens of ordinary people to write about the sacrifice and perseverance of the nation at a critical moment. When the smoke dissipates, the azaleas in Xuefeng Mountain bloom every year, and the martyrs who have been buried here have become eternal monuments.
