On their way to the base, their convoy is attacked by a Japanese sniper who is eventually neutralized by Lian Feng. Impressed, squad leader Zhang Meng Zi selects him to take part in an assassination mission targeting four Japanese generals and their Chinese interpreters. However, nothing goes as planned, which infuriates Japanese general Massaya and prompts him to send out his best sharpshooters to take down every last one of them. ~~ Based on a popular internet novel.
