This movie is based on the true story, which happened in Shan-Dong Province of China during World War II. It is based on a collection of memoirs of the guerrilla members. Due to the fact that it happened during World War II and there was not much secrets, this movie is that it was more realistic than other movies in that many real names were used, and the actual site was not changed either like other war movies of the time. The drawback of the movie was that in the latter stage of World War II, the guerrilla force was developed into an impressive 400 plus members from its original beginning of 3, and it launched many major offensives against the enemy, but this part was not shown. The movie only concentrated on the time there were only several dozen members.
A guerrilla group led by Li Xiangyang are ambushed by the Japanese invasion army during the War of Resistance.
This drama tells the story that after the September 18th Incident, the Japanese invaders intended to turn Linkou Town in the Northeast region into the first sovereign territory outside Japan. They vigorously oppressed Fang Zhenyu, the owner of the "Zhengbei Goods Store" in Linkou Town, hoping to turn Fang Zhenyu into a puppet mayor to achieve the goal of controlling Linkou Town. Fang Zhenyu, played by Hu Bing, was persecuted by the Japanese army when he refused. Luo Tianhua, a capable officer of the Military Statistics Bureau, disguised as a shop owner and lurked in Linkou Town. Luo Tianhua, played by Lin Jiangguo, clearly captured every plan of the Japanese in the dark. In order to form the Anti-Japanese United Army, Luo Tianhua found Fang Zhenyu and persuaded him to join the Anti-Japanese United Army. To achieve this goal, he spared no effort to use every trick.
