In the spring of that year, the vast land of China remained shrouded in the shadow of war. The two parties in the Liberated Area maintained a facade of cooperation under the banner of the united front against Japanese aggression, but the open and covert struggles between them never ceased. The hardliners within the Kuomintang, seeing the Japanese forces in decline, attempted to take advantage of this critical moment to extend their reach towards the Underground Party, plotting a scheme to block the Underground Party's transportation line. Their goal was to sever the connection between the American side and the outside world, aiming to undermine the Communist Party's anti-Japanese efforts.
Lin Feng, a seasoned underground operative deeply embedded in enemy territory, had woven an intricate intelligence network within the American side and learned of this shocking news ahead of time. He understood that the situation was dire; every second of delay could plunge countless comrades into peril and severely damage the American side's anti-Japanese campaign. Yet he remained calm and resolute; years of underground life had forged his mind into one as steady as steel and endowed him with decisive action.
Upon learning about the detailed deployment of the Kuomintang's blockade plan, Lin Feng quickly devised a counterstrategy. After careful consideration, he decided to take a bold risk by using his special identity as an advisor to the American side to disguise himself as a military inspector. He would infiltrate the frontline of the blockade operation to disrupt the enemy's plans.
Dressed in a crisp American side uniform, with polished leather boots and a finely crafted pistol at his waist, Lin Feng exuded an air of authority. Accompanied by two similarly disguised members of the Underground Party Journal posing as aides, he drove a jeep marked with American insignia towards the route taken by the Kuomintang's blockade forces.
As they approached a crucial intersection, Lin Feng spotted the leading troops of the Kuomintang from afar. A substantial force, nearly a company strong, was steadily advancing along the main road towards the Underground Party's transportation line. His heart tightened; he knew immediate action was necessary, or else dire consequences awaited.
Lin Feng signaled for the driver to slow down. As they neared the troops, he rolled down his window and leaned out halfway, shouting at the marching soldiers: "Which unit are you from? Who is your commanding officer? Do you realize how critical this operation is? If anything goes wrong, no one can bear that responsibility!"
The Kuomintang officers were startled by his sudden reprimand and halted in their tracks, turning to look at him. A captain hurried over and saluted sharply: "Reporting, sir! We are from the division tasked with executing this blockade mission. I am leading this company; may I ask what your orders are?"
Lin Feng frowned and feigned impatience: "Hmph! Your marching speed is far too slow! Intelligence indicates that the Communists may have already detected our movements and are relocating important supplies. If they escape because of your slowness, you'll all be in serious trouble!"
The captain's face turned pale: "Yes, sir! We will definitely speed up!"
What good will speeding up do? If you're heading in the wrong direction, it won't matter how fast you run! Lin Feng barked sharply, pulling out a forged map from his vehicle and unfolding it before the officer. "According to reliable intelligence, key points along the Communist Transportation Line are located to the east. If you continue down this road, you'll only get further away!" He pointed decisively towards a rugged side road on their left.
The captain hesitated: "But sir, we were ordered to proceed straight along this main road..."
"Are you going to trust your superiors or believe in American intelligence?" Lin Feng's gaze sharpened as he spoke with undeniable authority. "Let me tell you, this operation is led by the American side. If you mess this up, think carefully about what that means for you!"
