"Independent Column" is a TV series set in the Sino-Japanese War, showing an unknown history. The protagonist Meng Yunxiao (played by Wang Xinjun) is a young man with military education in Germany, who fell into the bandits' den in Phoenix Mountain because of a plane crash. With his wisdom and courage, he gradually won the trust and love of the bandit leader Fire Phoenix (played by Li Caihua) and became the big boss of Phoenix Mountain. He used his military talents to transform the bandit armed into an anti-Japanese column and waged a desperate struggle against the Japanese army. In the process, he also met Li Shuwei (Qin Hailu), a cultural instructor of the Eighth Route Army, and the two developed a relationship. Meng Yunxiao always adhered to his beliefs and ideals in the disputes between the Kuomintang, the Communist Party, Japan, and bandits, and finally became an anti-Japanese hero.
There are two climactic plots of the plot, one is that Meng Yunxiao and Huo Phoenix united with the Eighth Route Army and Gu Jingzhai's anti-Japanese allies, and robbed a batch of munitions of the Japanese army, providing strong material support for the development of the column. In this scene, Meng Yunxiao showed his wit and courage, and Fire Phoenix and Li Shuwei also showed their bravery and charm.
The second is that after Meng Yunxiao learned that the fire phoenix was captured by the Japanese army, he desperately broke into the base camp of the Japanese army, and launched a life-and-death duel with the Japanese commander Oyu Saburo (Yang Hongwu), and finally rescued the fire phoenix and defeated the Japanese attack. In this scene, Meng Yunxiao showed his loyalty and bravery, and Oyu Saburo also showed his martial arts and backbone.
