In the 1930s, four Communist agents who had received special training in the Soviet Union formed a team and returned to China to carry out a secret operation code-named Utra, and they parachuted into the jungle of puppet Manchukuo controlled by the Japanese puppet regime, gathered and collected medicine and began to divide into two teams.
Zhang Xianchen and Wang Yu are a couple, confessing to each other to survive to find the long-lost child, Chu Liang and Xiaolan are a couple, and they have been separated in a hurry before they have officially bid farewell. Zhang Xianchen and Xiao Lan team, Wang Yu and Chu Liang team to ensure that once one team is exposed or arrested, the other team will not be confessed to ensure the completion of the task.
Due to the appearance of the traitor Xie Zirong in the party, the Special Agent Section of the Harbin Police Department grasped the secret code of each other's actions but did not know the specific content of the action, and they sent agents to pretend that our connectors were connected with two squads in an attempt to control them to obtain intelligence.
After the secret agent Lao Feng led people and Lao Zhang and them on the street, after handing over the gun, Lao Zhang tried to find out that Lao Feng was a secret agent, and planned to use a gun left on Xiao Lan's body to reverse the situation, although he was discovered by Lao Feng, the result was that Lao Zhang was also skilled, successfully killed Lao Feng, used snow to cover up to evade the enemy's search, took equipment to treat the wounds, and then boarded the train to Harbin.
Secret agents Zhou Yi and Lu Ming used the same code to connect with Wang Yu of the second group and boarded the same train, and Gao Bin, the chief of the special agent section, ordered the guard of the railway station to be relaxed, and let both groups board the train, in an attempt to use the second group as bait to lure out the missing group, and then eliminate the net.
Six people in the same carriage, Chu Liang found XiaoLan, looked at it a few more times, Lu Ming locked Xiaolan, and informed the other agents. Lao Zhang knew that the second group was exposed, got up and went to the toilet to leave a secret code to inform them that there were spies, just when Wang Yu got up to go to the toilet to check, Xie Zirong, who was dressed up, pretended to be drunk and went in to change everything to normal, but this also made Wang Yu suspicious, because Lao Zhang would not risk doing such a meaningless code.
Then the agent took Xiaolan away on the pretext of inspection, Chu Liang panicked, and directly told Lu Ming that Xiaolan was a comrade and wanted to try to rescue him, and at the same time he also left a hand, saying that another person in the same group was not in the car. Wang Yu knew that the train was controlled by secret agents and asked to get off the train to change, regardless of Xiaolan, Lu Ming had to agree and leave with the second group, which gave Lao Zhang the opportunity to rescue Xiaolan alone.
After arriving at the station, the agent focused on checking and intercepting the passengers going to Harbin, and Lao Zhang pretended to be a secret agent to exchange two tickets to Hengdaohezi from the passengers' hands, and when he came out, he did not see Xiaolan, so he had to leave the station alone. Xiao Lan could not wait to escape from the car window, was found and hunted by a secret agent, had a surprise counterattack to kill the other party, and left in a hurry.
Agents arranged Wang Yu and them into a building for 24-hour surveillance, and men and women lived separately, and Wang Yu and Chu Liang did not have the opportunity to communicate alone, thus dragging them to wait for the arrival of the action day. Secret agent Xiao Meng saw the mother code from Chu Liang, and the section chief Gao Bin ordered a close monitoring of the major bookstores and waited for a group to buy books to be hooked.
Xiao Lan and Lao Zhang meet in the city, and Lao Zhang explains to her that Utra's specific action is to rescue Wang Ziyang, the only one who successfully escaped from the Japanese army's biochemical experiment demon cave, and to take him out of the country so that he can expose the shameless crimes of the Japanese in front of the international community. At present, the situation is critical, Lao Zhang launched an emergency plan, used the most primitive communication method to ask for instructions from his superiors, and after getting a reply, the next step was to find the cipher motherbook to let Xiaolan decipher the instructions and carry out the next action.
Lao Zhang told Xiao Lan about his two children, after five years, now they should also be six and eight years old, and finding their own children has always been the most worrying thing for the couple. Utra means dawn in Russian, and Lao Zhang told Xiaolan that it would be good when dawn came.
After dawn, Lao Zhang went to the bookstore in disguise to successfully get the code mother book, originally escaped the pursuit of the secret agent, but saw a child who was asking for food at the door of the Madier Hotel, he was concerned about his beloved son returning to inquire, confirming that this was his child, but as the agent found Lao Zhang, a chase shootout, Lao Zhang was forced into a desperate road and arrested.
Gao Bin tortured Lao Zhang by electrocution to no avail, ordered the use of psychedelics, just when the doctor was preparing to take medicine, the scarred Lao Zhang used a paper clip to open the handcuffs in a desperate situation, unexpectedly killed the doctor and a prison guard, changed clothes and staggered out of the cart and was dragged into the hut by Zhou Yi.
It turned out that Zhou Yi was an important figure lurking in the secret service section of our party, this paperclip was given to Lao Zhang by Zhou Yi, the two shared information, Zhou Yi tried to drive Lao Zhang away, but the secret agent activated the alarm, the front and back doors were closed to check the road, Zhou Yi proposed to let Lao Zhang hold himself hostage, as long as he did not kill, there was hope, Lao Zhang understood the importance of Zhou Yi and chose to give up his own protection of Zhou Yi.
Comrade goodbye, Lao Zhang confessed that Zhou Yi contacted Xiaolan to complete the Utra operation, tried his best to rescue Wang Yu and Chu Liang, and hoped that he would help him find his child at the door of the Madier Hotel. Then he boarded Kim Ji-duk's car and rushed to the door with all his might, but after killing the two people, he was arrested again, and after being injected with psychedelics, he unconsciously said "Asia. 246 head and tail" and other important information, the secret agent understands is the Asia Cinema, every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday the first or last movie.
The situation was extremely critical, and Zhou Yi ventured to find his own separate contact person and get the joint code of the second group and the next instructions. Wang Yu ate a small piece of poison and was hospitalized looking for an opportunity to escape, deliberately vomited on Lao Jin's body, and told him that Chu Liang and the two had been exposed, and Zhou Yi came in at this time and connected with them with a secret code, telling them the escape plan, contacting Xiao Lan himself, and informing them that the Utra operation was completed by others, and their task was to drag the spy's sight and escape safely.
Zhou Yi and Old Jin monitored the movie theater together, Zhou Yi used to cross the number on the poster No. 20 and was found by Old Jin, knowing that he was sent by Gao Bin to monitor himself, after a clever preaching, let Old Jin be dumb, teach Old Jin the rules of workplace survival on the spot, and win a coffee. After Zhou Yi pretended not to be able to catch fire, Lao Jin offered to take him for a ride, and Zhou Yi took the opportunity to stuff the code mother book that Lao Zhang got into the back seat of his car.
Xiaolan came to see the mark on the poster and bought a noon movie to let the surveillance agents let down their guard and leave safely. The agent learned of Xiao Lan's residence through the driver who took Lao Zhang back, ambushed and waited, and the alert Xiao Lan sensed something strange and fled quickly without being deceived.
The day of action on the 18th arrived, Xiao Meng drugged in two cups of coffee, let Zhou Yiduan go over to Wang Yu and Chu Liang, planning to prevent the implementation of the action, Zhou Yi changed lu ming and Chu Liang's cup, Chu Liang pretended to drink coffee and fainted, Wang Yu fainted before going to the backyard house, Zhou Yi explained that Lu Ming drank too much and drank Chu Liang's coffee by mistake. Xiao Meng searched out the gun on Chu Liang's body, and then went to the backyard to search for Wang Yu's body, and Zhou Yi explained chu Liang's escape plan.
Gao Bin asked Xiao Meng to adjust the firing pin for Chu Liang's gun and put it back, telling her to see how the gun was fired, hoping to dig out the spies inside them.
In the evening, the agent thought it was Utra, Wang Yu went into the Romanian Embassy alone, Chu Liang chose to stay first to save Wang Yu, but Lu Ming was afraid that he would escape and followed in, and found that she drove away, so he hijacked the car and chased it on the street, and the stalemate was deadlocked.
Chu Liang sat in the old gold car worried that things would change, decided to start first, took out the hidden red wine corkscrew and seriously injured the old jin, Zhou Yi was ordered by Gao Bin to get out of the car to check, Xiao Meng followed behind, Zhou Yi walked to the front of the car and suddenly turned around and shot at the car, but did not hit Chu Liang, Chu Liang would quickly drive away, on the road crashed wang Yu and Lu Ming, who were chasing after the car, the three climbed out of their respective cars, all were injured to varying degrees, Chu Liang was the heaviest, decided to cover Wang Yu to get into the car and leave, he chose to leave the diversion agent.
Zhou Yi led the agents to arrest Chu Liang, who had no way out, and Chu Liang took out the pistol he carried with him and shot at Zhou Yi decisively, he knew that the gun was passive, so that Gao Bin could dispel his suspicions about Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi shot Chu Liang in the shoulder, Chu Liang swallowed the medicine and committed suicide, exchanging his life for the safety of his comrades, and Zhou Yi bid farewell to his comrades with tears.
Gao Bin asked Old Jin to pretend to be dead and then blow up Zhou Yi, and zhou Yi was disarmed and detained, waiting for the 20th to see the difference, and then if the capture of Xiaolan was successful, then Zhou Yi was an internal ghost. Fortunately, the secret code has protective measures, that is, at the same time four days after the selected date, that is, on the 24th, Xiao Lan will appear, the agent will pounce on the 20th, plus the password book found in the old gold car, Gao Bin lifted the suspicion of Zhou Yi, and the old Jin became a scapegoat and was executed with Lao Zhang.
