In the autumn of 1938, Wuhan fell.
Li Guosheng, who had infiltrated the Military Bureau and later lost contact with the organization, serves as head of its Wuhan office. He leads Military Bureau agents in a series of resistance operations across the city, including intelligence gathering and urban guerrilla warfare, striking at the Japanese invaders.
The other protagonist, Wang Jiarui, leads the Wuhan Special Committee of the Chinese Communist Party’s intelligence organization. He and his intelligence agents gather information on the Japanese army and coordinate with New Fourth Army guerrillas to attack the invaders and expand the resistance forces.
The story is full of twists and turns, with suspense at every turn.
