[Brain Storage: This book features a fast-paced, decisive storyline, relentless slaughter of the enemy. Leave your brain behind and enjoy the thrill! Hahaha!]
[A completely different take on the war of resistance—if you don’t find it exciting after three chapters, you can blame me!]
1940, Cangyun Ridge.
Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the First Battalion of the New First Regiment, stood before a young man who was resting with his eyes closed and reported, “Commander, the fifth assault of the Sakata Regiment has been repelled by our forces.”
“Our casualties remain within manageable limits for now.”
Hearing Zhang Dabiao’s report, the young man—about twenty years old—slowly opened his eyes, a hint of confusion flickering deep within them.
At this moment, his memory lingered in another world.
His name was Li Yunlong, and he had been the captain of a special forces unit.
Li Yunlong remembered clearly: he had been fighting a group of drug traffickers, and the last scene in his memory was a sniper’s bullet piercing his chest.
“Where am I? I’m actually not dead?” Li Yunlong frowned slightly, scanning his surroundings and the rugged-faced young man before him.
He found Zhang Dabiao strangely familiar and noticed he was wearing the uniform described in history books as belonging to the Eighth Route Army.
The environment astonished Li Yunlong even more: crisscrossing trenches, soldiers of the Eighth Route Army resting within them, outdated weaponry described in modern history, corpses strewn across the battlefield, smoke drifting endlessly...
Everything pointed to one undeniable fact.
“This scene feels so familiar—it’s like Cangyun Ridge from ‘Sword Point’!” Li Yunlong gradually regained his composure, his heart pounding with shock. “Have I crossed over into a parallel world of ‘Sword Point’?”
“My name is indeed Li Yunlong, but I never expected to awaken in the body of Li Yunlong from ‘Sword Point’...”
While Li Yunlong was still dazed, Zhang Dabiao called out suspiciously, “Commander, did you hear me? Are you alright?”
Li Yunlong’s thoughts were interrupted. He slowly raised his head. “Zhang Dabiao?”
“Yes, it’s me!” Zhang Dabiao nodded repeatedly, concern written all over his face. “Commander, you must be exhausted.”

“These days you’ve been directing battle after battle without much rest.”
“You’re the backbone of our New First Regiment. You can’t afford to collapse now!”
Hearing Zhang Dabiao’s words, Li Yunlong considered the reason for his arrival.
It was likely that the original “Li Yunlong” had succumbed to exhaustion, allowing him to take over this body.
Once he understood his situation, Li Yunlong quickly calmed himself, recalling the plot of ‘Sword Point’ in his mind. He asked Zhang Dabiao, “Have the divisional headquarters and field hospital been evacuated successfully?”
“They have,” Zhang Dabiao replied, nodding. “The headquarters just sent a telegram, instructing the New First Regiment to break through from the direction of Yu Family Ridge!”
As a transmigrant, Li Yunlong knew that breaking through the Sakata Regiment’s front line head-on would yield the greatest benefit at this moment.
However, his previous life as a special forces soldier had instilled in him a deep-rooted discipline to obey orders.
On one hand, the temptation to destroy the Sakata Regiment’s command post beckoned; on the other, the ingrained habit of strict obedience.
This left Li Yunlong hesitant.
Just then—
[Ding! Host detected in a state of indecision. Supreme Choice System activated!]
[Supreme Choice System: Host’s indecision has triggered three options.]
[Option One: Break through from Yu Family Ridge. System rewards host with a cautious personality and 100 Type 38 rifles.]
[Option Two: Assault the Sakata Regiment head-on. System rewards host with a 107 rocket launcher and 36 rounds, plus a 98K sniper rifle equipped with an eight-times scope.]
[Option Three: Fight to the death at Cangyun Ridge against the Sakata Regiment, no breakthrough attempt; system rewards host with another transmigration opportunity upon death.]
Li Yunlong was no stranger to this kind of golden finger—a standard feature for transmigrators.
After all, he often read web novels in his spare time.

So, the emergence of the system brought Li Yunlong a pleasant surprise, but not much shock.
“There are three choices, and the third can be immediately eliminated,” Li Yunlong murmured inwardly. “As for the first, what in the world is a cautious personality? Hiding in a shell?”
“A hundred Type 38 rifles is a decent reward, but perhaps not enough!”
“The second option offers the 107 rocket launcher... that’s a devastating weapon on the modern battlefield. Thirty-six rockets allow three full salvos—critical in turning the tide.”
“And the 98K with an eight-times scope is a rare treasure at this stage!”
Li Yunlong didn’t wish to defy orders on the battlefield, but with the system in hand, he was tempted to seize this chance to rewrite fate.
This battle at Cangyun Ridge was the perfect opportunity!
To defy destiny!
After all, Li Yunlong had crossed over and knew full well what awaited the original “Li Yunlong.”
He didn’t want to follow the same path—being the most senior but ultimately only awarded the rank of major general, and dying a humiliating death by suicide during those ten years... what a tragedy!
The original Li Yunlong’s frustration wasn’t due to lack of qualifications, but rather insufficient status, rank, power, and too few soldiers under his command!
The first step to changing fate was having enough troops!
Now, Li Yunlong intended to rise with the system—not aiming for marshal, but at least for general.
He absolutely could not repeat the old Li Yunlong’s path...
This was not just the Supreme Choice System’s decision—it was Li Yunlong’s own choice for his life...
