Building a New District on Old Ground

After the victory of the War of Resistance, banditry and secret agent sabotage were rampant in the newly liberated areas. A young man who, 18 years ago, bore a blood feud against bandits for slaughtering his family, has now grown into a militia company commander. He is ordered to lead a work team into the old place where he was once detained—Datian Township, Mengshan County—to carry out the arduous task of eliminating traitors and bullies and consolidating the new district. Under the leadership of the county's general headquarters for eliminating traitors and bullies, the work team closely coordinates with the cultural work team, local government, party organizations, and main forces. Through extensive mobilization of the masses, implementation of rent and interest reduction policies, and rural political power construction, they successfully thwart the rampant arrogance of reactionary forces. After meticulous reconnaissance to fully understand the enemy situation, the work team, in conjunction with the main forces, sets a clever trap to lure the enemy in, wiping out multiple stubborn bandit gangs and hidden Kuomintang agents, and exposing an internal spy. Finally, through public trials and severe punishment of bullies and agents, they completely purge the reactionary forces in Datian Township, improve grassroots organizations, stabilize local order, and the team members successfully complete their mission and return home with honor. — Description from novelcodex.org
