In a World Rife with War, I Acquired a Famous Generals System

When a history student transmigrates to an era torn by war, the Myriad Worlds Famous Generals System is his only support. But what truly keeps him alive isn't the generals' tactics. It's the ordinary people crouched beside him in the trenches.

Lin Yue transmigrated.

There was no dazzling golden finger awakening, no divine artifact handed to him from the start. The first thing that happened after he woke was that dirt kicked up by an artillery shell buried him halfway. The man he'd transmigrated into was named Zhou Huaimin, a platoon leader with thirty-two soldiers under his command, four machine guns, and a grenade launcher no one knew how to use. Across from them was a reinforced Japanese battalion, a full eight hundred men with mountain guns and mortars, bearing down from the ridge.

As shells exploded beside him, only one thought filled Lin Yue's mind: I'm a history student who nearly flunked basic military training at university. How am I supposed to lead thirty-two living, breathing people into a fight to the death?

Then a cold, mechanical voice rang out.

“A man's heart is iron, even in death. Let me test my skill and mend the rift in Heaven.”

Qi Jiguang's final words

“Remember, kid. War is humanity's cruelest invention, but courage is humanity's oldest answer.”

Patton

“You're already facing it by carrying his death with you. You don't need to forgive yourself. What you need is to remember his name with every choice you make from now on.”

Lin Yue's story begins at Hill Three.

And that hill would be etched into this scorched earth by thirty-two people, no, fifteen, with their blood, sweat, and lives.
