Synopsis

Anti-Japanese War spy intrigue + espionage, history + agents, powerful figures + power struggles, face-slapping Late autumn, 1948. The operations room of the Xuzhou Suppression Headquarters. Just as Section Chief Guo Zhun, a major general, reaches for the gun in his desk drawer, Shen Xingzhi, a special agent from the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, walks in. He says he’s there for a cup of tea, but his eyes are fixed on Guo Zhun’s shoes. Hidden in the heel is a roll of microfilm that could change the course of the Huaihai Campaign. The most dangerous thing isn’t the enemy’s suspicions. It’s losing contact with his own side. His handler, Old Chen, was arrested and executed; the only person who could prove Guo Zhun’s identity is dead. A fake contact shows up with the wrong code phrase, while the real one sends a merciless order: “The organization cannot verify you. Find the traitor and execute him.” Guo Zhun is a lone piece on the board, with no one to vouch for him. A listening device is planted in his office. Direction-finding vehicles track his radio signals night after night, and his wife and children in Nanjing are “taken away.” Fang Ming, his former Whampoa Military Academy classmate, smiles as he offers him a cigarette and probes for information, then secretly slips him a map: “Shen Xingzhi has started writing your arrest report. You have five days at most.” As danger closes in from every side, the Huaihai Campaign plans take shape line by line beneath his pen: Huang Baitao’s retreat route, Huang Wei’s direction of reinforcements, Du Yuming’s final plan. Every document he sends out can change the fate of hundreds of thousands. But who is his contact? And who is the traitor hiding in the shadows? When Shen Xingzhi finally gets hard evidence and arrives with men to arrest him, Guo Zhun has already changed into a People’s Liberation Army uniform and taken his place at the front of the uprising. This is not one man’s infiltration, but the long-awaited return of a group of unsung heroes. Note: The story is inspired by real events, but its characters are fictional. Every crisis is even more harrowing than history itself.

It's been a long time since I've seen such a flesh-and-blood underground party. Guo Zhun is not the kind of Gao Daquan who shouts slogans. He will be afraid, his hands will shake, and his knuckles will turn white when he touches the gun in the middle of the night. But he never flinched, even if the organization was disconnected, the traitors were betrayed, and his wife and children were taken away, he carried it alone. The author is really good at writing about people. Zhou Weijun's small movements of rubbing his fingers, Fang Ming's eyes hiding a knife in his smile, and Sun Debiao's cursing mouth, every character comes alive. The thing that broke my defense the most was Lao Chen. He never appeared face-to-face from beginning to end. He made me burst into tears with just a few last words and a note written in lemon juice. The author's writing skills are so strong, there is no nonsense, every sentence touches the heart. This book is not popular, and God cannot tolerate it. Highly recommended, a rare spy novel. Five-star praise, four stars is not enough to express the author's great gratitude.

I can't help it anymore, I have to go all out to give it a five-star review. The just-concluded "Glory of Silence" has made countless people heartbroken. Its companion piece "Glory in the Dust" made me shine in the past. The result is just the opposite. The story is more thrilling and exciting. I worked as a red undercover in the highest organization of the Kuomintang, completed the task brilliantly, and escaped unscathed. This legendary story happened in the Battle of Huaihai. It is a true story. It is so touching. I highly recommend it. There are not many good novels, but this is a masterpiece.

The author is awesome, the pacing is tight, and the characters are very three-dimensional. It's so beautiful that I couldn't put it down. I highly recommend reading it. I think it's like the ceiling of spy wars.
