During the winter of 1937, the Japanese Kwantung Army initiated the "Three Rivers Crusade" against the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army as part of their three-year "rectification" strategy, marking the beginning of a particularly challenging phase for the Anti-Japanese United Army. By autumn 1938, intense combat had led to significant losses for a small contingent of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army. Prior to the outbreak of conflict, the platoon leader, known as "Old Shandong," made an agreement with his soldiers that those who survived would meet at the eight pines located outside Songlin Town in Mudanjiang, where they would carve their numbers into the trees and regroup to rejoin their unit. Following this pact, "Old Shandong" and five other anti-Japanese fighters set off on a perilous journey to reunite with their comrades. Along the way, some became separated, others perished, a few betrayed their cause, while some enlisted in the 88th International Brigade to undergo new training and engage in combat. In 1945, just before the end of the Anti-Japanese War, three soldiers from the 88th International Brigade returned to the Northeast on a covert mission, successfully persuading their wavering comrades to reunite with the unit and work together to complete their challenging objective.
