Upon entering the stronghold, Lin Feng surveyed his surroundings. The enemy soldiers appeared weary, their eyes filled with fear, yet they still tried to glare at him menacingly. The officers gathered in the makeshift command center wore grim expressions, full of vigilance. Lin Feng took a deep breath and broke the silence: "Everyone, I believe you are all aware of the current situation. The Kuomintang's decline is evident, and the liberation of the nation is inevitable. Look outside; reinforcements will not come. You are isolated and unsupported, and continuing to resist will only lead to more suffering." He gestured towards the city beyond the window, where his flag waved in several places amidst the dissipating smoke.
He continued, "We are all Chinese. After fighting for so long, the common people have suffered immensely. You have families at home—wives, children, and elderly parents. Do you truly want to let your loved ones lose their support for a battle that is bound to be lost? Let your ancestors' land suffer again?" Lin Feng spoke earnestly, his compassion resonating with some of the younger soldiers, who began to show signs of wavering. One sergeant couldn't help but murmur softly, "But if we surrender, how will the Communists treat us?" Lin Feng keenly sensed this moment of hesitation and seized the opportunity to persuade them further.
"Let me explain," he said with a slight smile, speaking clearly. "This is precisely what I want to emphasize. The Communist Party's policy is to treat prisoners of war well. If you lay down your arms, there will be no retribution. As long as you stop resisting, not only will your lives be spared, but you will also receive proper resettlement. Those who wish to return home will be provided travel expenses to reunite with their families; those who want to join the revolutionary forces and contribute to building New China are warmly welcomed—we offer everyone a chance for a fresh start and to serve their country."
To convince the enemy soldiers, Lin Feng cited numerous real-life examples: in previous battles, captured Kuomintang soldiers had undergone education and reform; some returned home to live stable lives while others joined Lin Feng's ranks and fought bravely on the battlefield, earning awards for their valor. He produced a pamphlet he carried with him that detailed policies and reform cases and distributed it among the officers. "Look at these; they are living examples. We Communists keep our promises." As the officers passed around the materials and whispered among themselves, their doubts began to fade, and they started to seriously consider Lin Feng's proposal.
The negotiations continued for several hours, with the atmosphere in the enemy camp fluctuating between tension and relaxation. Through his excellent oratory skills and sincere attitude, Lin Feng gradually dismantled their psychological defenses. At a critical moment, the enemy commander stood up and paced around the room for a long time before finally sighing deeply: "Very well; we can’t fight anymore. For the sake of my brothers and this city, I will trust you this once." As these words were spoken, the atmosphere within the stronghold shifted dramatically; soldiers lowered their guard and dropped their weapons.
A great weight lifted from Lin Feng's heart, yet he did not dare relax for even a moment. He immediately arranged for subsequent handover procedures. Lin Feng's troops moved in orderly fashion to take control of the stronghold, registering the soldiers and providing them with resettlement as promised. With this last group of remaining enemies laying down their arms, the bells signaling the complete liberation of the city finally rang out. Sunlight broke through the clouds, illuminating the scarred yet reborn land as citizens poured into the streets in jubilant celebration of this hard-won peace.
Standing on the street amidst the cheering crowd, Lin Feng smiled—exhausted yet gratified—having completed this remarkable psychological campaign before dawn with wisdom and courage, winning new life for both the city and its people. In time to come, under Lin Feng's leadership alongside that of its citizens, this city embarked on a path of reconstruction and revival. Lin Feng's legendary story would be passed down through generations as a source of inspiration for future guardians of peace.
