Introduction to the work "The Spies of Peking"
In the winter of 1948, Peking was besieged.
Fu Zuoyi's 600,000 troops were trapped in the isolated city, and outside the city was a million-strong army of the Northeast Field Army. It was only a matter of time before the city was broken, but Fu Zuoyi refused to retreat. He held a trump card in his hand-Beiping city defense map. City gates, artillery positions, troop deployments, ammunition depots, command posts, every street and every building are clearly marked on the map. Whoever gets this picture will have the last name of Peiping.
Shen Fang, a major staff officer of the North China Suppression General Operations Section, whose true identity is an underground member of the Chinese Communist Party, codenamed "City Wall". He received an impossible task: to deliver the city defense map out of the city under the nose of Leng Tiesheng, the head of the Peking Station of the Secrecy Bureau.
Leng Tiesheng, a veteran of the military command and Mao Renfeng's confidant, arrested six underground party members within three months of taking office. His younger brother Leng Ren is a ruthless character - the leader of the action team, with excellent marksmanship. He had met Shen Fang in the Northeast three years ago. He recognized Shen Fang, but he didn't catch him. He is waiting. Wait for Shen Fang to get the city defense map, wait for Shen Fang to get in touch, wait for Shen Fang to show all his cards. Then, catch them all.
On one side is the 600,000-strong national army who are still fighting in a corner, and on the other side is the million-strong army that is watching eagerly. Shen Fang was caught in the middle, holding the city defense map in his hand, followed by the Leng brothers, and his comrades outside the city. Who can he trust? The shopkeeper of Rongbaozhai, the defender of Dongbianmen, the colleagues of the Suppressor General, or the woman who saved his life in the Northeast three years ago?
Three days. Shen Fang only had three days. The city defense plan must be sent before December 15th, otherwise the general attack will begin and everything will be meaningless.
