Features: The novel depicts the glorious victory of our army corps crossing the Yangtze River southward to liberate Wuhan and advance into Hunan, praising the birth of the second sun of the New China. Vice Commander Qin Zhen of our army corps receives a telegraph from Vice Premier Zhou Enlai on the southbound train, asking him to find the whereabouts of the underground worker Bai Jie. This deeply moves him, as Bai Jie is his daughter and the lover of Division Commander Chen WenHong. Qin Zhen immediately meets with Chen WenHong and the Division Political Committee Member Liang Shuguang, determined to crush Bai Chongxi's "Partial Counteroffensive Plan in Central China" and rescue Bai Jie and the people. At this time, Bai Chongxi is flying from Guangzhou to Wuhan, arranging to destroy train engines and many critical facilities. Liang Shuguang's brother Liang Tianzhu and several railway workers, at great risk, drive the train engines away. The People's Liberation Army also breaks through multiple natural barriers and advances directly toward Wuhan. Liang Tianzhu drives a locomotive to transport the PLA into Wuhan. Chen WenHong immediately leads his troops to the prison, only to find that Bai Jie had already been kidnapped by the enemy in advance. Prisoners in the cell describe her heroic struggles. Next, they search for Liang Shuguang's mother left in Wuhan, but find no results, only hearing neighbors praise this mother who persevered in the struggle.
As the war extends southward, the scorching heat, mosquitoes, leeches, and heavy rainstorms of southern China bring great difficulties to the northern soldiers. During the advance, Liang Shuguang receives a clue about his mother, leading his troops to break into the lakes and swamps, defeating lake bandits and rescuing her. The army then advances from western Hubei to western Hunan, encountering the enemy in the towering mountains of the Wuling Range. After fierce battles, our side suffers heavy casualties, while the enemy cunningly escapes. In the enemy's detention facility, they see the words "Bai Jie Will Not Die" written on the wall. Chen WenHong requests to lead the battle again, ultimately achieving a major victory and capturing the enemy's major general commander, but Bai Jie sacrifices her life while escaping the cell. When this news reaches Qin Zhen, he is in Beijing attending the founding ceremony of the New China. The New China rises like the sun in the east, and Bai Jie smiles in the sunlight.
