Storyline

After eight years of devastating war against Japan, the Chinese Civil War begins. Chiang Kai-shek sends forces to sweep from Yan'an toward the northwest, aiming to eliminate his opponents. As Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai retreat north and lose contact with northern Shaanxi, the communist forces face a crisis. At this critical moment, Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping's army decides to cross the Yellow River and cut off the Nationalist forces' supply line. However, the natural conditions of the thousand-li stretch of the Yellow River are extremely harsh, and Nationalist troops are heavily deployed along the route, especially the Southwest Lu corps led by Song Ruike of the 66th Division, which poses a major obstacle to Liu and Deng's advance. In a narrow encounter, the brave prevail, and on the eve of the counteroffensive, the Battle of Southwest Lu, which will decide China's history, begins.
