A group of Red Army child soldiers with a special mission were ordered to bury a batch of important assets. After the Red Army set off on the Long March northward, these children found themselves surrounded by enemies. To protect the assets and uphold the dignity of the Red Army, while also striving for survival, they fought relentlessly against the enemy and struggled against nature. They had to resist the enemy's clearance operations, the betrayal of traitors, and their own various weaknesses, while also relying on ancient methods to cultivate and produce in the isolated wilderness, surviving in harsh conditions. After enduring extreme physical and mental suffering, they endured three years of unforgettable hardships.
When they finally emerged from the mountains, they discovered that they had to stand in the same line as those who had once been their enemies.
