However, they were met with Japanese occupation, leading to Liu Wenting's tragic death by suicide and Jin Ge's subsequent arrest. Our party's underground workers successfully rescued Jin Ge with the hope of utilizing his military expertise in the fight against the Eighth Route Army. Despite initial doubts about the Eighth Route Army's combat capabilities, Jin Ge opted to remain near Dong'an City to confront the enemy forces alone. Following a chance encounter with Dai Jinhua, the leader of the enemy's anti-Japanese guerrillas, Jin Ge joined forces with them to combat the Japanese invaders. Their collaboration evolved from initial mistrust to fighting side by side, with Jin Ge recognizing the true anti-Japanese spirit embodied by Dai Jinhua. Together, they operated as a formidable anti-Japanese resistance force behind enemy lines, significantly impeding the Japanese military efforts. As the Japanese forces retreated from various battlefields in 1945, Kamei devised the ruthless "Dead Sea" plan for Dong'an City, threatening the lives of its inhabitants. Jin Ge and Jinhua led a covert mission into the city, successfully thwarting the implementation of the plan and heralding the beginning of the end for the Japanese occupation.
