Crossing the Beacon Line

The Japanese army concentrated 50,000 troops to carry out an "iron wall encirclement" campaign against the Eighth Route Army base in Shandong. The situation was extremely grim. In a situation where the enemy was outnumbered and we were outnumbered, the head of the headquarters decided to break up the troops and agencies into parts and break out in batches. In order to ensure the safety of the nursery, Political Commissar Qi forcibly sent Zhao Dalu, a "sharpshooter" who was seriously injured in the last battle and was eager to return to the fighting force, to assist the nursery in a safe breakout. However, Zhao Dalu and Wang Weiruo, the director of the nursery, had serious differences over the transfer route and how to manage the children. After getting along for a period of time, he gradually understood Wang Weiruo's greatness as a woman, and Wang Weiruo also gradually realized Zhao Dalu's personality charm. Under the leadership of Zhao Dalu, the nursery went through untold hardships and escaped death several times, but was eventually surrounded by the Japanese army. At the critical moment, the cavalry battalion led by Political Commissar Qi rushed to the rescue, and many children were reunited with their relatives.
