Waking up in May 1945, military history enthusiast Liu Futang finds himself thrust back onto the tumultuous battlefields of the Second World War. Armed with an encyclopedic knowledge of tactics, historic campaigns, and military strategy, he rejects the advice of those urging him to stay away from the front lines, knowing this is the exact moment history is forged. Within three months of enlisting, the seasoned veteran earns three second-class merits. Transferred to the Northeast within half a year, he distinguishes himself through bandit suppression and decisive engagements against U.S.-equipped forces, rapidly rising through the ranks to company commander. In 1950, standing on the banks of the Yalu River, he takes up his rifle once again to cross into a new theater of war, proving that victory follows him no matter the battlefield.
