Features: The Anti-Japanese United Front Army, established by the Communist Party of China, endured a long fifteen-year struggle without government support or rear-area assistance. With neither food nor ammunition, it relied solely on its own efforts in battle to secure personnel, funds, and supplies. Under the so-called leadership of Wang Ming and Kang Sheng, its communication with the Central Committee of the CCP was severed. Surviving on roots and bark, making the vast forests and snowy wilderness their home, and using Japanese enemy uniforms and weapons, they fought relentlessly, roamed freely, experienced both great rises and falls, and endured immense joys and sorrows, creating a unique and tragic story. With blood and life, they achieved a glorious record of killing and wounding over 100,000 Japanese and puppet soldiers, severely crippling the invaders and tying down hundreds of thousands of elite Japanese troops from advancing south into the capital, thereby providing strong support to the nationwide resistance. Yang Jingyu, Zhao Shangzhi, Zhou Baozhong, Li Yanniu, Zhao Yiman, and Li Zhaolin were the glorious representatives of this army, forming a heroic gallery of the Chinese nation during that era of suffering.
