War of Resistance: A Foot Soldier’s Medal of Valor

A modern soul is thrown into the flames of war on the plains in 1939. Zhao Youcai grips his rusty rifle, forging the military wisdom of a later age into a blade aimed straight at the Japanese invaders.

When he first joins the county brigade, his practiced skills and pinpoint accuracy make him stand out amid the blood and fire of a village raid.

In the guerrilla war behind enemy lines, his original "sparrow tactics" repeatedly leave the sweep teams empty-handed. The Type 38 rifles he captures become death warrants for the Japanese.

From a soldier who follows orders to a "God of Death" who makes the enemy tremble, he carves a way out of encirclement with his bayonet and uses his wits to take out entire clusters of blockhouses, weaving a vast web of revenge across the North China Plain.

When the Japanese "Iron Wall Encirclement" closes in, Zhao Youcai leads the county brigade's last twenty-eight men. Using the terrain and his exceptional military talent, he lays a deadly trap and carves an immortal legend for an ordinary man into the history of the War of Resistance with an ambush worthy of a military textbook: "When Zhao the Yama King arrives, the Japanese can't escape!"
