Ma Benzhai (played by Li Po) raises the banner of resistance, returning from the Northeast to form a volunteer army to fight the invaders. Lacking proper leadership, the Hui volunteer unit suffers heavy losses in early battles but is rescued by the Eighth Route Army. Ma Benzhai resolutely rejects inducements and joins the Eighth Route Army, reorganizing his troops into the Hui People's Detachment. His deputy Bai Shouren (played by Wang Xiaozhong) secretly colludes with the Japanese and attempts to lead the troops to defect; Ma Benzhai, enraged, shoots him dead in public. The Japanese capture Ma's mother (played by Hu Peng) to force Ma Benzhai's submission. She remains unyielding and dies on a hunger strike. Witnessing the enemy's despicable atrocities, Ma Benzhai is filled with even stronger national hatred...
