About This Novel
This book is the latest novel by the famous best-selling author Gu Jian. It is an anti-Japanese themed novel commemorating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China and carrying forward the main theme. The novel is set in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. It tells the story of Zhang Zheng, a Communist Party member and battalion commander of the New Fourth Army, who actively mobilized the people, developed Communist Party members, and organized the anti-Japanese struggle while he was recovering in the countryside. In the first month of 1942, New Fourth Army battalion commander Zhang Zheng was injured while defending Qilin Town. Lin Huasheng, an underground party member who opened a pharmacy in the town as a cover, was secretly sent to the home of Du Junshan, a lake resident on the outskirts of the town, to recover from his injuries. While Zhang was recovering from his injuries, he developed anti-Japanese activists among the local people, won over the power of the gentry, organized an anti-Japanese militia squadron on the water, and dealt with the Japanese and puppet troops who went to the countryside to sweep up, protecting the people's property and growing stronger in the struggle. They took advantage of the terrain of the lake, built dams and buried piles, made their own "mines", and cleverly set up Bagua formations, smashing the enemy's suppression campaigns again and again. During the autumn offensive against the Japanese and puppets, the water militia squadron cooperated with the county detachment and district brigade to launch an ambush at Liuyuefen, completely wiping out the Japanese troops fleeing south from Qilin Town.
