Blood-Stained Glory, Merit at Mount Yanran

Blood-Stained Glory: Achieving Merit at Mount Yanran is a work dedicated to the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. It is adapted from my earlier work, The Sword of Revenge. After graduating from university, Zhan Zhizhan joins the Sword reconnaissance unit. As soon as he arrives in southern Xinjiang, he falls into an ambush set by the Vietnamese Shadow Unit. When their plan to surround the enemy and lure out its reinforcements fails, the Shadow Unit launches a surprise attack on the Sword unit's camp. One raid fails, so they try again. To seize the strategic initiative, the Sword reconnaissance unit crosses the border and cripples the Shadow Unit. Zhan Zhizhan furiously wipes out the Vietnamese company that has his comrades surrounded, raids a Vietnamese airfield, and, with his comrades' seamless support, captures the fugitive traitor, double agent, and Vietnamese spy known as Golden Lotus. Infighting between the Vietnamese Army Command and the General Intelligence Department means that, although Zhan Zhizhan repeatedly pits his wits and courage against the Shadow Unit, he somehow survives each time. Zhan Zhizhan's comrades kill Feng Shideying, the Shadow Unit's squad leader, and the unit's remaining forces are transferred to the border by Forward Command, where our artillery wipes them out. With his comrades covering his return, Zhan Zhizhan makes it back to his homeland.
