Stepping into Glory

During the Anti-Japanese War, the commander of the Northeast Anti-Japanese War, General Yang Jingyu, led his troops to be heavily surrounded by the Japanese army. General Yang ordered the main force to break out, and he only led three soldiers - Chang Huaizhong, Tang Fulu and Zhu Erba to stay on the mountain to attract heavy enemy troops. Cheng Bin, commander of the 29th Division, rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, causing heavy losses to our breakout troops. General Yang felt infinite grief. Cheng Bin went home to visit relatives and was scolded by his mother. Cheng's wife angrily shot her husband and executed him. Chang Huaizhong's lover Zhou Fenglan went up the mountain to deliver food to the general and met Chang Huaizhong again. The Japanese used high-ranking officials and generous offers to induce General Yang to surrender, but he was severely reprimanded. The Japanese army attacked, Chang Huaizhong and Tang Fulu were killed in battle, and Fenglan also died with the enemy. The heads of the martyrs were hung on the top of the city, and many people were massacred because they kowtowed to the heroes. The main force of the Anti-Japanese Alliance sent people to meet General Yang, but failed to break through the Japanese blockade. A commoner who brought food to the general was also killed by the Japanese army. General Yang and Zhu Erba finally broke through the enemy's blockade. Zhu Erba was seriously injured and did not want to drag General Yang down. He drank a bullet and committed suicide. Before he died, he asked the general to eat his flesh to satisfy his hunger and keep the anti-Japanese banner alive. General Yang buried the bodies of his comrades with sorrow. He dragged his exhausted body down the mountain. Hunger struck mercilessly. General Yang pulled out the cotton wool and swallowed it along with the snow. Once again, he was betrayed by the scum of the nation and surrounded by Japanese invaders.
