After retiring from the special forces, Li Zheng was sorting through the belongings of his great-grandfather, Li Yunlong, when a bloodstained military medal unexpectedly transported him to the Cangyun Ridge battlefield in 1940.
He landed right in the middle of a breakout battle. Using his modern military expertise, he helped Wang Chengzhu take out the headquarters of the Sakata Regiment with a single shot. Amid the smoke and gunfire, he also reunited with his great-grandfather Li Yunlong, a man who had existed only in stories.
From then on, a portal connecting the modern era with the War of Resistance era was thrown wide open.
Bulletproof vests, night-vision goggles, drones, walkie-talkies, mortars, armored vehicles... Modern supplies poured into northwest Shanxi without end. The Independent Regiment was transformed from top to bottom. Ambushes were fought without a single casualty, there was no need to shout "Fire!" at Ping'an County, Wei the Monk no longer had to die at the hands of bandits, and Yamamoto Kazuki's special forces were picked off before they could even assemble.
Li Yunlong slung an arm around Li Zheng's shoulders and laughed heartily. "Good lad! With you here, I'm taking on the toughest troops!"
From Cangyun Ridge to Ping'an County, from the Hundred Regiments Offensive to the counterattack on Taiyuan, Li Zheng used modern firepower to rewrite one unforgettable, heartbreaking scene after another.
And when he finally returned to the modern era and opened the family album, he found that in the yellowed photograph, Li Yunlong was wearing a general's uniform, with a new line of writing beside him:
"To my very best great-grandson."
