In those dark, suffocating years, Shanghai resembled a storm-tossed island, and the Wang Wei Secret Service Agency was the most sinister den on that island. Lin Feng, a resolute underground warrior, was like a spark buried deep within enemy lines, stubbornly burning amidst heavy crises, continuously transmitting rays of hope for the Base of Resistance.
At that time, although the internal storm of investigations within the Wang Wei Intelligence Agency had temporarily subsided, its lingering threat remained. Each day, Lin Feng danced on the edge of a knife. In the office, while colleagues appeared to engage in casual banter, hidden beneath their laughter were cold arrows of mutual suspicion; in the corridors, scrutinizing glances reminded him constantly of his perilous situation. Yet Lin Feng held a rock-solid belief in his heart: no matter how turbulent the undercurrents became, he would never retreat, for thousands of miles away, the Base of Resistance was eagerly awaiting the intelligence he could provide to turn the tide of battle.
In the dead of night, when all was silent, a faint light shone from one window of the Wang Wei Secret Service Agency building. It was Lin Feng's busy figure by the secret radio station. He skillfully operated the equipment, transforming gathered intelligence on enemy troop deployments, supply routes, and operational plans into strings of mysterious codes that pierced through the night sky to reach the Base of Resistance. Each transmission felt like a heart-stopping adventure; with a single misstep, his signals could be intercepted by the enemy, and years of undercover work could be lost in an instant.
To ensure accuracy and timeliness of information, Lin Feng often volunteered for dangerous missions. Once, he learned that a Japanese officer planned to raid a critical supply point near the Base of Resistance. Anxious and restless, he managed to infiltrate the officer's operational meeting and memorized key details with his photographic memory. Then, braving heavy rain and navigating heavily guarded streets, he transmitted the intelligence before the enemy could act. The Base of Resistance received his warning and quickly relocated supplies and set up an ambush to thwart the Japanese officer's plans, inflicting heavy losses on their forces.
As the war situation gradually shifted, international anti-fascist forces grew stronger, providing new opportunities for the Base of Resistance to develop. A series of counteroffensive actions were on the horizon. Lin Feng understood that the decisive moment was approaching and that his mission weighed heavier than ever. At this juncture, he received a daunting task from his organization: to assist the Base of Resistance in sabotaging an important munitions depot in Shanghai controlled by Japanese officers to cripple their frontline supply.
This munitions depot was located in a heavily guarded suburb surrounded by barbed wire and watchtowers, with patrol teams on constant alert. Lin Feng disguised himself as a merchant and made multiple trips to survey the terrain, mapping out crucial information such as guard shift times, patrol routes, and lookout positions. Simultaneously, he cleverly spread rumors exploiting internal conflicts within the Wang Wei Intelligence Agency to create chaos that would divert some troops away from the munitions depot and create favorable conditions for an assault.
An elite assault team selected by the Base of Resistance quietly infiltrated Shanghai. Lin Feng met them secretly to share detailed intelligence and participate in formulating their operational plan. On the night of action, under a dark moonlit sky, guided by Lin Feng, the assault team avoided multiple layers of defenses and stealthily approached the munitions depot. Just as they were about to launch their attack, an unexpected turn occurred: a patrol team from the Japanese officers changed their route and headed towards them.
In that critical moment, Lin Feng decisively stepped forward; he deliberately made noise to attract the patrol team's attention and then pretended to be drunk as he stumbled away in another direction while mumbling incoherently. The patrol team followed him in pursuit while the assault team seized this opportunity to launch their attack. Gunfire erupted as flames engulfed the munitions depot. By the time Japanese officers arrived for rescue, it was too late; vast quantities of munitions were reduced to ashes, severely undermining their offensive capabilities at the front.
However, Lin Feng's identity became severely threatened due to this operation. The Japanese officers and Wang Wei Secret Service Agency realized there must have been internal collusion aiding them and began a frenzied retaliation. They imposed martial law throughout Shanghai, conducting house-to-house searches and repeatedly interrogating personnel from Wang Wei Intelligence Agency. Thanks to his established connections and clever disguises from previous encounters, Lin Feng managed to evade capture time after time but understood that exposure could happen at any moment.
In this life-and-death crisis, Lin Feng chose not to retreat but instead continued to immerse himself in one final battle. The Base of Resistance prepared to deliver a fatal blow against the Wang Jingwei regime to completely dismantle its rule in Shanghai. Utilizing his position's advantages, he obtained critical intelligence regarding high-level meetings and hideouts within Wang Wei and even persuaded some righteous soldiers from Wang Wei to join him in preparation for a final offensive.
When the call for counterattack echoed outside Shanghai city walls, Lin Feng acted simultaneously within. He coordinated with his comrades to disrupt key routes and cut off enemy communications, plunging Wang Jingwei's army into chaos. On streets and alleys alike, citizens ignited by this desire for liberation spontaneously assisted Lin Feng in combat by relaying intelligence and transporting supplies.
Finally, dawn broke through smoke and chaos onto every inch of Shanghai's land. The Wang Jingwei regime crumbled into dust while remnants of Japanese officers fled in panic. Amidst celebrating crowds, Lin Feng moved through them gazing at faces filled with newfound freedom as tears shimmered in his eyes. Years of undercover work and countless life-and-death trials culminated into this moment—a badge of victory. He knew this land weathered by hardship was about to embark on a new chapter; he was fortunate enough to be part of writing history—dedicating his youthful blood for an indelible national hope—witnessing this great moment where darkness ended and rebirth began at dawn.
