As the counter-blockade operation continued to advance with a tense rhythm, Lin Feng tirelessly maneuvered along the edges of enemy territory. With keen insight, he resembled a hawk lurking in the shadows, not missing any signs of movement. One day, while sipping tea at a teahouse in the county market, he noticed a low-ranking officer from the Kuomintang sitting alone in a corner, looking despondent. A cup of tea sat untouched before him.
Lin Feng observed him quietly and noticed flashes of frustration and helplessness in the officer's eyes. A thought crossed his mind; perhaps this man could be of use to him. He casually took a seat beside him and said softly, "Brother, you don't seem to be in a good mood. What's wrong?"
The officer glanced at Lin Feng, hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed deeply, "Sigh, it wouldn't matter if I told you. In these times, our lives as small people aren't worth much."
Lin Feng smiled slightly and poured him a cup of tea. "Brother, don't say that. Perhaps I can help. Although I'm just a small trader, I've seen quite a bit of the world. If you have worries, sharing them might lighten your heart."
Unable to resist Lin Feng's repeated encouragement, the officer finally opened up. His name was Zhao Gang, a squad leader in a certain unit of the Kuomintang. Recently, his family back home had been oppressed by local Kuomintang elites; their house was seized, and his father was captured and forced into labor, leaving his fate uncertain. He had reported this to his superiors multiple times but received no response.
"I fight on the battlefield to ensure my family can live well," Zhao Gang said, his eyes reddening and his voice choking with emotion.
Lin Feng feigned righteous indignation on the surface while feeling pleased inside. "Is there any justice left? You risk your life for them, yet they treat your family this way!"
From that point on, Lin Feng began to intentionally engage with Zhao Gang. Each time they met, he would bring local specialties or help him solve minor difficulties in life, gradually winning Zhao Gang's trust.
As their relationship deepened, Lin Feng discovered that although Zhao Gang was a Kuomintang officer, he was not inherently bad and felt deeply dissatisfied with the corruption and darkness within the Kuomintang. Lin Feng began tentatively revealing some information about the American side—how people lived in peace and harmony, how military and civilians united as one, how everyone was treated equally without oppression from elites.
Zhao Gang's eyes showed a glimmer of yearning as he asked, "Is there really such a place?"
Lin Feng nodded. "Of course! In our American side, ordinary people are in charge. As long as you have skills and are willing to work hard, you can live well. Moreover, we treat prisoners humanely; as long as they lay down their weapons and wish to reform, we give them opportunities for a new life."
Zhao Gang fell into deep thought and remained silent for a long time. Lin Feng understood that changing one's mindset required time and could not be rushed.
Upon returning to the Base of Resistance, Lin Feng reported Zhao Gang's situation in detail to the organization. After careful consideration, they deemed Zhao Gang a potential target for persuasion; successfully bringing him over would greatly benefit their acquisition of deeper intelligence within the Kuomintang. Thus, they decided to send an experienced comrade to assist Lin Feng in furthering this effort.
This comrade was named Kua Hua; he had successfully persuaded Kuomintang officers multiple times and had rich experience in this area. Together with Lin Feng, he meticulously devised a plan for persuasion.
First, they continued to strengthen their emotional connection with Zhao Gang by showing concern for his daily life so that he could feel warmth and sincerity. Simultaneously, they seized various opportunities to spread revolutionary ideas to him—explaining the goals and principles of the Land Reform Party—so that he would understand that only the Land Reform Party could truly save China and allow ordinary people to live better lives.
One time while drinking together, Kua Hua deliberately lamented: "Brother Zhao, look at this world—the corruption within the Kuomintang is unbearable! The officers only know how to vie for power and profit without caring about ordinary people's lives at all. At this rate, China is bound to perish! Meanwhile, we in the Land Reform Party only seek happiness for the people and rejuvenation for our nation; everything we do is aimed at making this country better. You're someone with a sense of justice; don't you want to do something for this country?"
Hearing this stirred something within Zhao Gang's heart; however, he still hesitated: "I know you are good people but I'm still a Kuomintang officer. If I'm discovered... my whole family would suffer."
Lin Feng patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Zhao, we understand your concerns. But think about it—your family is suffering just like you under the Kuomintang! If you cooperate with us, we can find ways to rescue your family so that you can be reunited. Moreover, we will absolutely guarantee your safety; you won't have any worries."
After repeated persuasion from Lin Feng and Kua Hua, Zhao Gang's thoughts began to waver slowly. He started providing Lin Feng with some intelligence about grassroots Kuomintang forces; although it wasn't core secrets, it gave the Base of Resistance clearer insights into Kuomintang Army movements and deployments.
The organization recognized Zhao Gang's performance and intensified their persuasion efforts. On one hand, they arranged for someone to secretly go to Zhao Gang's hometown to rescue his family; on the other hand, they continued explaining Land Reform Party strategies and theories deeply so that he could internally recognize their cause.
As time passed, Zhao Gang leaned more toward cooperating with the Land Reform Party. He understood that only by aligning himself with them could he truly change his family's fate and contribute positively to his country's future. Meanwhile, Lin Feng and Kua Hua meticulously plotted step by step as they awaited the moment when this insider seed would mature and bloom into brilliant intelligence flowers—laying a solid foundation for victory on the American side.
Prelude to Insider Achievements
Through relentless efforts from Lin Feng and Kua Hua, Zhao Gang—a low-ranking officer from the Kuomintang—was thoroughly moved by their sincerity and revolutionary ideals; his internal balance gradually tilted toward the Land Reform Party. As trust deepened between them, Zhao Gang began continuously relaying valuable intelligence—though not core secrets—to the American side.
At first, Zhao Gang cautiously revealed some daily activities of the grassroots troops, such as the time and location of troop rotations. These seemingly insignificant pieces of information were like crucial fragments of a puzzle, allowing the Base of Resistance to outline the troop movements of the Kuomintang Army in specific areas. Upon receiving the intelligence, Lin Feng immediately engaged in in-depth discussions with the military staff of the Base of Resistance.
According to the rotation information provided by Zhao Gang, two battalions near Qingyan Pass would be changing posts at dawn tomorrow. During this transition period, with old and new troops exchanging positions, their formations would inevitably be unstable, presenting an excellent opportunity for a surprise attack. Lin Feng pointed to key locations on the map, his eyes shining with determination.
The staff nodded in agreement and quickly adjusted their operational plans based on this intelligence. They selected an elite Guerrilla Squad to infiltrate the mountains and forests surrounding Qingyan Pass in advance, concealing themselves and waiting for the perfect moment to strike. As night fell and the Kuomintang Army began their rotation, the guerrilla fighters sprang into action like leopards hunting in the dark. In an instant, gunfire and grenade explosions shattered the night’s silence, catching the unprepared Kuomintang Army off guard. The Guerrilla Squad charged forward, achieving significant results at minimal cost; they not only seized a cache of weapon ammunition but also successfully weakened the enemy's morale, making them hesitant to act recklessly in the near future.
Soon after, Zhao Gang transmitted information regarding recent shortages of supplies needed by the Kuomintang Army. Realizing that their food and medical supplies were critically low, Lin Feng keenly recognized this as a prime opportunity to further weaken the enemy's combat effectiveness. He immediately suggested to the organization: we can intensify our harassment of their supply lines, exacerbating their material shortages. At the same time, we should spread some false intelligence in nearby areas, feigning that we are about to launch a large-scale attack on their rear supply depots, forcing them to disperse their forces to defend these warehouses.
The organization readily accepted Lin Feng's proposal and swiftly put it into action. On one hand, multiple guerrilla squads were dispatched to frequently appear along enemy supply routes. They either destroyed roads and bridges to hinder transport vehicles or ambushed convoys carrying supplies to intercept valuable military provisions. Within just a few days, the Kuomintang Army's supply lines fell into chaos; frontline soldiers often faced shortages of food and medicine, leading to low morale and significantly reduced combat effectiveness.
On the other hand, the Base of Resistance utilized its underground Intelligence Network to cleverly spread rumors in occupied areas: that a large force from the Land Reform Party had gathered and was about to launch a total assault on Kuomintang supply depots, claiming even siege ladders were prepared! This news spread rapidly and quickly incited panic within the Kuomintang Army. To protect their supplies, officers had no choice but to withdraw troops from frontline positions to strengthen warehouse defenses. Consequently, frontline defenses became increasingly thin, creating more opportunities for the American Side.
As Zhao Gang continued providing intelligence that aided the Base of Resistance in achieving victories, his situation within the Kuomintang Army grew increasingly perilous. However, Zhao Gang did not shrink back; instead, he became more resolute in his beliefs. He understood that everything he did was not only for his own fate and that of his family but also for the future of his country and hope for his nation.
During a secret meeting, Zhao Gang solemnly told Lin Feng: "Brother Lin, I recently learned of even more critical intelligence, but it carries great risk; if leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Lin Feng tightly grasped his hand and responded with unwavering determination: "Brother Zhao Gang, rest assured that we from the Land Reform Party will never let our comrades take risks. Speak freely; our organization will ensure your safety."
Zhao Gang nodded slightly and took a deep breath before slowly revealing: "The upper echelons of the Kuomintang are planning a large-scale encirclement operation targeting our core area at the Base of Resistance. They have gathered elite troops from several surrounding provinces and equipped them with substantial weaponry; their operational plan is extremely detailed with clear attack routes and timelines."
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng was taken aback; he understood how significant this intelligence was. If the Kuomintang's encirclement plan succeeded, it would spell disaster for the Base of Resistance. Yet he did not panic; he quickly calmed himself down and began contemplating countermeasures.
"Zhao Gang, you have done a tremendous service! This information comes at just the right time. You should return now and act as if nothing is amiss; do not raise any suspicions. The follow-up will be handled by our organization," Lin Feng instructed.
Upon returning to the Base of Resistance, Lin Feng immediately reported this urgent situation to his organization. In no time at all, a tense atmosphere enveloped everyone at the Base of Resistance. The organization swiftly convened an emergency meeting with experts and generals from various fields to discuss counter-strategies.
Inside the conference room, tension hung thick like clouds before a storm. Everyone sat around a large military map with focused expressions as they shared their insights one after another.
Given the current situation where enemy forces had superior numbers and equipment, engaging them head-on was clearly unwise. We must leverage our geographical advantages by employing flexible guerrilla tactics to disperse enemy forces and take them out one by one. An experienced commander broke the silence first.
"Exactly! We also need to enhance our intelligence efforts by closely monitoring every move made by enemy forces so we can adjust our operational deployments promptly. At the same time, we should mobilize civilians to fortify our defenses while ensuring that once enemies enter our territory they find no supplies available," another staff member added.
After intense discussions, a comprehensive response strategy gradually took shape. The Base of Resistance would urgently mobilize civilians to evacuate vulnerable populations while relocating food and supplies deep into hidden mountain forests; simultaneously, they would break their forces into smaller units forming multiple guerrilla squads ready to ambush along potential enemy routes.
Lin Feng volunteered again to infiltrate enemy territory closely coordinating with Zhao Gang to continue gathering intelligence on enemy movements so as to provide even more precise support for the Base of Resistance. He understood that every piece of information at this moment could determine countless comrades' lives and influence the survival of their cause; he bore this responsibility heavily upon his shoulders.
In this invisible war of intelligence without gunpowder smoke, Lin Feng and Zhao Gang acted like two sharp swords piercing through enemy hearts. With wisdom, courage, and unwavering conviction guiding them through perilous situations time after time forges paths toward victory for the American Side as they steadily advanced toward dawn's light. Despite facing numerous thorns ahead and daunting challenges ahead of them, they remained undeterred because they firmly believed that justice would triumph over evil and light would pierce through darkness.
