My Battlefield, My Soldiers 2

In the autumn of the 28th year of the Republic of China, Lin Yanzhou led the reorganized Taihang Independent Garrison Battalion and went north to take root in the bitter cold barren mountains of Taihang. This miscellaneous team made up of hunters, scholars, orphans, veterans and ordinary refugees, without sophisticated equipment, sufficient food and wages, and no backup supplies, was stationed in the unobstructed and dangerous Bald Mountains. It silently shouldered the heavy responsibility of defending the eastern front of Taihang and became the last barrier in the hinterland of the pass. Faced with the close proximity of the Japanese stronghold and the frequent patrols and sweeps, more than three hundred motley recruits and veterans depended on each other for their lives. In a desperate situation, they dug trenches with their bare hands, stayed up in the cold nights, cut off food and grass, and used their bodies to build a strong defense line in the barren mountains. Chen Laogen, a veteran who strictly protects his shortcomings, Zhou Mancang, a calm and proficient hunter, Su Wenyuan, a scholar who writes and guards his soul, and Xiao Shitou, a pure and tenacious young man, are a group of ordinary soldiers who know each other's secrets and stick together to defend each other in the bitter cold war. The book is written from the perspective of a hard-core documentary veteran, removing the halo of heroes and restoring the true hardships of soldiers in troubled times. It describes the embarrassment and stubbornness of the motley crew and the brotherhood of life and death in the military camp. It tells the passionate tragedy of a group of ordinary people abandoning their homes to go into danger and starving to defend the mountains and rivers.
