Features: This is a novel about war, a story that has never been told before. It is poignant, enduring, and moving. When the nation was in peril, a temporary "National Army" composed of Gansu local warlords raised the banner of resisting Japan and crossed the border. The commander of this army, Ma Chengyi, had previously directly participated in the massacre of the Red Army. Yet under his command, there were over 2,000 captured Red Army soldiers forcibly enrolled into the army, completely cut off from their organization and isolated from information. These Red Army soldiers had reason to doubt: were they truly going to resist Japan or being deceived to a certain place for collective massacre? The political commissar Zhang Jiao, the regiment commander Cheng Zi, and all the captured Red Army soldiers faced a major decision. This new armed force, composed of former victors and defeated ones, faced a complex situation. What would their fate be? In fact, the Communist Party of China and the Kuomintang finally became brothers fighting side by side when the nation was in crisis, but tragedy still inevitably occurred. In the brutal battles against the Japanese, a group of new characters emerged from the mists of history, giving this war story a complex and extraordinary hue.
