Lin Yusheng harbors a sigh of relief each time and is determined to prove himself through his actions. Company commander Chi Guiyi told Lin Yusheng that without autumn frost, red sorghum can not be red, the company is like this, the love of men and women is also like this.　　In the fall of '46, the fourth company of the Songshan Column was ordered to hold the 666 high ground. When the battle was going on fiercely, suddenly came the order to stop the war. Lin Yusheng and his company commander Chi Guiyi refused to believe that the war would stop so easily, believing that it was Chiang Kai-shek's delaying tactics. Chi Guiyi was a few years older than Lin Yusheng, and Lin Yusheng regarded him as his elder brother.

In accordance with the order of the regimental commander Lu Zhe, Huang Yougen used various tactics such as sneak attack, trickery and bribing on the 666th high ground, but failed to take advantage of the fourth company. The special circumstances of the armistice period allowed Huang Yougen to socialize with the commanders of the fourth company and develop a good feeling, which made him more and more reluctant to fight.　　In the days when he was stationed on the 666th highland, Lin Yusheng missed Qiuying very much. He looks back on his interactions with Qiuying over the years and suddenly realizes that Qiuying's disdain and suspicion of him were actually motivating him. Zhu Yawen, a tough guy, was killed by his company commander Chi Guiyi when he was evacuating from the 666 Heights during the outbreak of the civil war. On his deathbed, Chi Guiyi instructs Lin Yusheng to step out of the shadow of Tahe and make the Fourth Company a steel company. Since then, the commanding officer's instructions and the need to prove himself to Qiuying have become the two main spiritual pivots that inspire Lin Yusheng's hard work.　　After Chi Guiyi's death, the company's burden fell on Lin Yusheng's shoulders, and Lin Yusheng felt that it was difficult to support him alone. At this time, the company had a complex composition of personnel, both from Shandong, the old Eight Routes, but also to the Northeast after being integrated into the local army officers and soldiers, as well as the integration of the old army personnel, as well as the newly enlisted fighters. The superior ordered the Fourth Company to join the Eighth Company in blocking the enemy at the Caohekou Railway Station to cover the transfer of the army. This was a difficult and urgent task, and with no time to organize the troops, Lin Yusheng led the company to drive up to the position. In preparation for the battle, the company had many problems, the past kind of unity, courageous fighting style is disorganized, which makes Lin Yusheng very frustrated. The relationship with his brother company, the eighth company, also made Lin Yusheng fear in his heart.
