Not long ago, I saw a movie called "Code Name Dongfang" on CCTV Six Princesses, which tells the story of the 30s of the last century, when ** Tek carried out revolutionary work in the crisis-ridden Shanghai, transmitted important information, and struggled to protect secret party members. A few of these details caught my attention.
First of all, the plot in the movie where the special science personnel have to camouflage the antenna before using the radio. During that period, underground stations used shortwave stations, and indoor antennas were often chosen to ensure concealment. However, in some cases, indoor antennas may not be effective, and an outdoor antenna may need to be erected. In order not to reveal the location of the station, camouflage on the antenna is a must. The means of camouflage antennas of bamboo poles shown in the film are real and may appear in real underground work.
Secondly, it is mentioned in the movie that the location of the ** Teko radio station was exposed because of the phenomenon of the street lights next to the house flickering at the time of the announcement. In fact, according to the memories of Mao Qihua, a member of the Communist Party of China's ** Special Branch, the location of an underground radio station is a very troublesome task, and it is not just a matter of finding a house. In the winter of 1930, Mao Qihua recalled that if the wavelength of the radio station was not properly adjusted, the neighbor's light bulb would flash red when the electric button was pressed. Once this situation is discovered by a neighbor and reported to it, it can cause trouble and even expose the location of the underground station. Therefore, every time a new station is set up, the special staff adjusts the wavelength and watches the neighbor's light bulb to flicker until it no longer flashes red. So like in the movie, when the telegram is fired, even the street lights will flicker.
In addition, it is mentioned in the film that the Kuomintang is using technical means to find the location of the CCP's underground radio station. In fact, in the 30s of the last century, it was not only the CCP that set up secret radio stations in Shanghai, but also other warlords and speculators who also set up secret radio stations in Shanghai for their own interests. This made it more difficult for the KMT to find CCP underground radio signals among the many commercial radio signals. The Kuomintang sometimes mistakenly thinks that other non-CCP radio stations are CCP radio stations, and once they are cracked, they will immediately report them to seek credit.
In addition, the Kuomintang used vehicle-mounted orientators to reconnoiter the location of underground radio stations back and forth on the streets. However, the special science personnel took various countermeasures, so that this reconnaissance method of the Kuomintang has not been successful.
However, the real situation is that the underground radio station in Shanghai was destroyed many times, not because the Kuomintang had located the station by technical means, but because of the traitor's betrayal. For example, in 1934, Cheng Zuyi**, who was in charge of the international radio station, was forced to surrender the new location of the underground radio station. Later, Sheng Zhongliang, the temporary head of the Shanghai Bureau, was also mutinied, resulting in the destruction of all underground radio stations in Shanghai by the Kuomintang. As a result, the CCP lost contact with the Comintern, and it was not until the Long March reached northern Shaanxi that it re-established contact.
To sum up, some details in "Codename Oriental" reveal the real situation of the underground work carried out by ** Tek in Shanghai in the 30s of the last century. Although the plot in the movie is somewhat exaggerated, it is based on real events as a whole. During this period, there were indeed a series of camouflage and technical means for underground radio stations in Shanghai to ensure concealment and security. However, the exposure of the location of the radio station was often the result of the betrayal of traitors, not the result of the KMT's positioning through technical means.
These historical events had a significant impact on the society of the time. ** Tek's underground work in Shanghai successfully passed on important information, and at the same time protected many secret party members. However, the emergence of traitors caused the underground radio stations to be destroyed many times, which brought great challenges to the work of the party. Eventually, the CCP lost contact with the Comintern and did not reconnect until after the Long March.
In general, the film "Codename East" reveals through real events the underground work carried out by ** Tek in Shanghai in the 30s of the last century. Although there are some exaggerated and fictional plots in the film, the history of that period can still be restored as a whole. Through this film, the audience can gain a deeper understanding of the painstaking and remarkable underground work of that period, as well as the difficulties and challenges involved. At the same time, the film also had a positive impact on society, allowing the audience to have a deeper understanding of the heroic deeds during the Anti-Japanese War.
After the audience finishes "Codename East", they can think about some questions and have discussions. They can think about how to ensure the security and concealment of communication in underground workDoes the phenomenon of traitor betrayal still exist in today's society?How do underground workers deal with such a threat?They can look back in history and look for other similar events for comparison and analysis. Through these interactive elements, the audience can gain a deeper understanding of this history and share their thoughts and opinions with others.
After reviewing the whole incident, we can conclude that although the story of the underground work carried out by ** Tek in Shanghai in the 30s of the last century was full of hardships and difficulties, they successfully transmitted important information and protected Xu **'s comrades through strict organization and intelligent response. However, the presence of traitors betrayed the underground radio station was repeatedly sabotaged, which posed a great challenge to the work of the party. This history is not only worthy of our in-depth study and understanding, but also requires us to recognize the struggles and sacrifices of the heroes and the great contributions they made to the realization of the party's cause.
