Kiinan sisällissota puhkesi talvella 1948 ja siitä tuli yksi verisimmistä taisteluista Kiinan historiassa. Kapteeni Guzidin, 9:n komppanian komentajan ja hänen 46 sotilaan tehtävänä oli puolustaa Wen-joen etelärantaa kunnes he saisivat käskyn perääntyä. Puolustustaistelun pitkittyessä ja ammusten vähetessä, Guzidi alkoi menettää miehiään. Sotilaat epäilivät, että perääntymiskäsky ei ollut saavuttanut komppaniaa. Guzidi ei ollut saanut käskyä perääntyä ja vaati miehiään edelleen taistelemaan hinnalla millä hyvänsä. Guzidi haavottui ja heräsi sairaalassa uuteen sotilasjärjestelmään. Hän ja miehistönsä olivat menettäneet sotilasarvonsa ja identiteettinsä, heidät oli kaikki merkitty kadonneksi. Aivan kuin 9:ttä komppaniaa ei olisi koskaan edes ollut olemassa, saati taistelua ja uhrauksia joita Guzidi mieheneen teki. Guzidi päättää palauttaa 46 miehen kunnian ja todistaa heidän olemassaolon - hän lähtee matkaan etsiäkseen joukkonsa.
