Storyline

As China is about to be liberated, the Nationalist forces are retreating steadily. To secure the naval fortress on Ou Island in Xiamen, an agent codenamed Phoenix Flower infiltrates the enemy's secret service and works with a reconnaissance squad sent by our army to complete the mission. From September to October 1949, the Nationalist troops retreat to the southeastern coastal Ou Island and set up defenses for a last-ditch struggle. Our squad is ordered to sneak onto Ou Island and cooperate with the underground party member 'Phoenix Flower' to steal the enemy's secret defense map. Just as contact is made, 'Phoenix Flower' disappears. Meanwhile, the enemy invites General Lu, a defense expert. Doctor Qin Shuzhen, who serves as Commander Tao's private physician, can freely enter and exit the fortress and actively contacts our secret party members within the enemy ranks. She suspects that Commander Tao's adjutant, Captain Xin, might be 'Phoenix Flower'. After making contact, they agree that Xin will seize the opportunity to steal the fortress defense map. This is overheard by Adjutant Xiahou Liang. While stealing the information, Xin falls into Colonel Lan's trap and sacrifices his young life.

Xiahou Liang sneaks into General Lu's office, lures him out, and takes him hostage on a speedboat. At this moment, the cunning Colonel Lan leads men to intercept. After a fierce gun battle, Xiahou kills Colonel Lan. However, Staff Officer Tian and Qin Shuzhen sacrifice their lives heroically to save General Lu's wife and child. To win over General Lu, Xiahou Liang shows him a document drafted by Mao Sen and Commander Tao: 'If Lu acts rebelliously, execute him!' General Lu comes to his senses and resolves to part ways with the Nationalists, determined not to be a traitor to future generations for the sake of New China. The general attack begins with roaring artillery. Commander Tao, witnessing the hopeless situation of the Nationalist army and the approaching gunfire of the People's Liberation Army, commits suicide in despair. At Phoenix Bay, in front of the martyrs' graves, Xiahou Liang and Lu...
