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

A modern soul is thrust 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 sharp blade aimed at the Japanese invaders.

New to the county battalion, he makes his mark with polished skills and pinpoint shooting amid the blood and fire of villages being ransacked.

In guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, his original "Sparrow Tactics" repeatedly leave the enemy's sweeps empty-handed, while captured Type 38 rifles become harbingers of doom for the Japanese.

From a low-ranking soldier who follows orders to the "Death God" who terrifies the enemy, he carves a way through encirclements with his bayonet and uses his wits to take out 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 battalion's last twenty-eight men. Using the terrain and his extraordinary military talent, he lays a deadly trap and stages a textbook ambush, carving an immortal legend for an ordinary man into the history of the War of Resistance: "When Zhao the Hell King arrives, the Japanese can't escape!"
