In May 1948, our underground party in Jiangyin suffered a setback. The Nanjing Confidential Bureau sent senior agents Xia Zhongmin and Leng Mei to Jiangyin Fortress, attempting to uncover our underground organization. At this time, Chinese Communist Party underground members Tang Binglin, Tang Bingyu, and comrades Wu Guangren and Tang Zhongheng, who had long been lurking and fighting within the Nationalist army, actively responded to the traps set by the agents to avoid exposure. They also followed the instructions of the East China Bureau and the Central Committee's leader, Comrade Tang Junzhao, regarding organizing a rebellion within the Nationalist army, carefully strategizing and gaining the trust of their fellow townsman, Major General Dai Yongxiang, the director of the Huangpu Military Academy. Through operations in Nanjing, they made Dai Yongxiang win over Chiang Kai-shek, who then appointed him as the commander of Jiangyin Fortress. Subsequently, they gradually undermined Dai Yongxiang’s power and effectively took control of the military authority at the fortress, preparing for the uprising. At that time, our underground member, Tang Bingyu, who was a staff officer in Nanjing's Ministry of National Defense, stole the enemy's defense map of the Yangtze River. To promptly deliver this vital intelligence to the East China Field Army's headquarters in Jiangbei, Tang Bingyu, risking enemy detection, crossed the river alone to send the information while being covered by comrades like Tang Binglin, especially in the emergency of underground courier Tian Tianhua's unfortunate capture. Tang Bingyu's sudden disappearance aroused suspicion among the agents towards the Tang brothers in the fortress, leading to a series of intricate, perilous confrontations of wits and courage between Tang Binglin, Tang Bingyu, Wu Guangren, Wang Deru, and the Nationalist military intelligence chief Xia Zhongmin. On April 21, 1949, at the crucial moment of our army's eastern line involving the 10th Corps’ river crossing campaign, Tang Binglin, Tang Bingyu, and others stood ready, employing strategies such as "sailing under false pretenses," "secretly traversing the pass," and "making a feigned attack in the east while striking in the west" to repeatedly turn the tide, transforming dangers into safety, and ultimately succeeded in organizing the uprising of the fortress troops, forcing Commander Dai Yongxiang to lay down his arms, thus successfully completing the task given by the commanding officer of our 10th Corps to “clear the landing zone and ensure our army crosses the river without firing a shot.” Su Yu, the acting commander of the East China Field Army, highly praised the underground party at the fortress: "They made great contributions to the river crossing campaign!" This drama portrays a colorful array of our party's underground workers: the broad-minded and steady Tang Binglin, the sharp and youthful Tang Bingyu, the courageous Wu Guangren who joined the party during critical struggles, the misunderstood Xu Guansu who, under the guise of a military intelligence agent, endured hardships and sacrifice for the sake of saving his comrades, and Leng Mei, who lost contact with the party but continued to work for it at the risk of his life, only revealing his true self in the end. Although they had different personalities and fates, they all remained loyal to the party's cause until death. They are the real unsung heroes, having made immortal contributions to the establishment of the new China.
