In 1935, under the guidance of Wang Ming's left-leaning opportunism, the Central Red Army was subject to the fifth counter-encirclement and suppression by the Kuomintang. They advocated tenacious defense and engaged in direct confrontation with the enemy to wear them down, thus suffering heavy blows and losses. Chen Zhanjiang (played by Li Chengbin), the commander of the 18th Regiment of a certain division, returned to the frontline after recovering from his injuries. He pursued his troops and finally met with Political Commissar Fang Liang (played by Wang Zhigang), who had shared a life-and-death test with him. By this time, the situation on the northern front had already changed. The temporary Central plenipotentiary Commissioner was stationed in the 18th Regiment, and Xue Min, the political officer, was promoted to the position of regimental commander and political commissar. Xue Min exaggerated his words, was fond of grandeur and achievements, and completely disregarded his own strength to confront the enemy head-on. How could he possibly resist the bombardment of aircraft and cannons? The failure of the Fifth counter-encirclement campaign forced the Central Red Army to embark on the Long March. [Collapse]
