During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there were many heroic units, including one unit, which the Japanese hated so much that they even printed their unit numbers on tanks.
This unit was the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and the brigade commander was the founding general Chen Geng.
