On a stormy night in April 1949, Qin Zhen, deputy commander of the Corps, was ordered to leave Beijing to go to the Central China battlefield to direct the campaign to eliminate the Kuomintang Bai Chongxi.On the military train heading south, he received an urgent telegram from Comrade Zhou Enlai, asking him to inquire about Dinah's whereabouts and try to rescue her.Dinah is the code name of Qin Zhen's only daughter, Bai Jie, who has been secretly infiltrated into the upper echelons of the Kuomintang for many years by the central government. The People's Liberation Army gathered on the front line in Central China.At this time, the enemy army had planted explosives in various key departments of Wuhan City. In order to ensure that the important town of Wuhan would not be seriously damaged, the Central Military Commission ordered Qin Zhen's troops, who were facing the enemy, to temporarily stand still and send another force to cross the river from the lower reaches of Wuhan. , forming a pincer attack, forcing the enemy to the west, and then annihilating the enemy on the front lines of western Hubei and western Hunan.There was a rare silence in the Central China battlefield.

At this time, Qin Zhen also learned that Bai Jie had been arrested and imprisoned. Although he restrained his emotions with great perseverance, the heavy blow made him much older for a while.He told the news to Bai Jie's lover, Mr. Chen Wenhong.Chen Wenhong's heart felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he accepted this reality silently and surprisingly calmly.He met Bai Jie in Yan'an, lived an unforgettable love life, and then separated from Lao Yan. He went to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War and the Liberation War, while Bai Jie went to the more difficult battlefield behind enemy lines. They didn't know it for a long time. No matter where the other party is, the hearts of the two young people have always been tightly united for a common goal.

Our army, which cut into the rear of Wuhan from the east, broke through the natural danger of the Yangtze River, and our army's frontal offensive also launched overwhelmingly. Qin Zhen led the leading troops to attack Wuhan first.With the cooperation of all forces, Bai Chongxi did not dare to implement the plan to blow up Wuhan and retreated in embarrassment.Wuhan has completely returned to the embrace of the people.Qin Zhen ordered Chen Wenhong to go to the prison to rescue Bai Jie and his comrades in prison, but Bai Jie was taken away by the enemy in advance.Qin Zhen once again suppressed the great pain in his heart and devoted himself to the heavy and complicated military and political affairs.Overwork and high mental and emotional strain finally made him fall ill.During his illness, he still inspired Chen Wenhong, who was in pain, and Liang Shuguang, the division political commissar who had lost contact with his mother, to cheer up, and led them to the Western Front soon.Dong Tiannian, commander of the Western Front Corps, met Qin Zhen in Fancheng. He conveyed Comrade Zhou Enlai's concern for Qin Zhen and reminded Qin Zhen to look far and take on the important task of building the country in the future.The old general's words cleared away the pain and sorrow accumulated in Qin Zhen's heart, and his mood became broad and magnanimous.With a capable frontline headquarters, he visited the battlefield in person and directly commanded the troops.

The erratic, humid weather and overwhelming mosquitoes in the south brought unexpected difficulties to the troops from the Northeast battlefield. Some soldiers began to homesick and became restless.Qin Zhen felt guilty for his lack of preparation. He visited the logistics unit in person and urged the supplies and ammunition to be delivered to the frontline soldiers as soon as possible.The troops marched one hundred and eighty miles day and night to the front line of the Yangtze River. Chen Wenhong took the lead and walked behind the sixth company of the Sharp Knife Company. An attempt to blow up the embankment and flood the armed forces.The enemy fled into the Wuling Mountains. At this time, the guerrilla Lao Huang sent information, and Bai Jie was detained in the enemy army in Hutiaoping.

The victory fueled Chen Wenhong's pride, coupled with his eagerness to rescue Bai Jie, he rushed forward in the battle of Hutiaoping, which not only caused great casualties to our army, but also let the enemy run away.Qin Zhen has always cared for Chen Wenhong's growth with a faint paternal love (although Chen still doesn't know that Qin Zhen is Bai Jie's father), he punished Chen Wenhong severely, but still trusted Chen Wenhong and continued to let him lead the army to fight .Chen Wenhong finally washed away his shame with his illustrious military exploits in subsequent battles.

When the enemy was retreating, they kidnapped Bai Jie again.On the cell wall, Bai Jie carved the words "Bai Jie will not die" with her fingernails. Qin Zhen stroked these four words, feeling like a knife was twisting his heart.Just as Qin Zhen led the army to advance steadily, and the final victory was in sight, an urgent telegram recalled him to Wuhan, and soon he came to Beijing from Wuhan to participate in the National Political Consultative Conference that was planning to build a new China.He saw with his own eyes the majestic appearance of the first five-star red flag rising from the Tiananmen Gate Tower. In the joy and carnival of victory, he felt a little sad in his heart. He thought of the countless sacrificed comrades in arms, relatives, and his daughter whose life or death was unknown...

On the second day after the opening ceremony, Premier Zhou sent a car to take Qin Zhen to Zhongnanhai, and he personally told Qin Zhen that Bai Jie had died.When the dawn of New China just arrived, Bai Jie fell under the enemy's butcher's knife. The moment she was shot, she saw Chen Wenhong running towards her, and she left the last smile for her relatives.Premier Zhou loved Bai Jie very much, and together with Qin Zhen, he fondly recalled Bai Jie's life. Then he changed the topic and conveyed the decision of the central government to order Qin Zhen to take off his military uniform and transfer to the construction department. Premier Zhou entrusted Qin Zhen to take care of the traffic question.Qin Zhen asked the Prime Minister for leave and returned to the front line again. He wanted to explain the work in hand, and at the same time he wanted to see his daughter's grave.On a hillside surrounded by green forests, there is a white stone tablet. Qin Zhen put a bouquet of pure white wild flowers in front of the tomb and dedicated it to his only daughter.
