"Extra, extra!The Chinese public security and navy opened fire on British passenger liners in international waterways, and soldiers boarded the ships to rob them!”
At about 8 o'clock on September 25, 1952, the voice of a newsboy echoed in the streets of Hong Kong Island.
At the same timeUnited KingdomBeijing OfficethingplaceAlso raised strongly**Your navyOpen fireInterceptionMeGreatEnglishEmperorcountryquotientwheelIs it tolerable or unbearable?
The shelling of a British passenger liner caused an uproar, and many people were puzzled by this.
Even during the war, civilian transport vehicles are protected by international law, so why did the People's Navy shell a British passenger liner?
At about 9 o'clock in the evening of May 31, 1950, the atmosphere of the Guangzhou Municipal Military Control Commission was warm and lively.
Guangdong Province held a welcome banquet for the liberation of Hainan Island by the 40th and 43rd armies of the 4th Field Army.
Come, toast to your victorious return!* As he spoke, he raised his glass and toasted to the generals present.
As soon as the words fell, a violent ** sound suddenly sounded in the courtyard, the ground under the feet of the earthquake trembled, and the windows and glass of the living room were shattered.

On the evening of June 20, the spies did the same and threw a bomb inside the wall of the provincial capital, which happened to be unoccupied at the time and did not cause **.
Half a month later, on the way back to his residence, a pistol stretched out from a truck parked on the side of the road and aimed it at ***, who was sitting in the passenger seat
Fortunately, the driver saw this scene and slammed the steering wheel, the enemy's bullet missed, and Ye Shuai saved the day.
These three assassinations aroused great attention from the Guangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, which arranged for Su Qing, director of the Public Security Division, and Zhang Qiang, a scout, to conduct investigations.

After learning of this, the Ministry of Public Security ordered the Guangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau to investigate.
Soon, the public security arrested 23 spies, seized 1 radio station, 12 long and short guns and a box of ***.
The plan fell through, and the chickens flew and the eggs fought, but the secret services on Taiwan Island were unwilling to fail, and the assassination of Ye Shuai continued.
In March 1952, the Guangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau obtained an important piece of information: spies in Hong Kong were secretly spying on the whereabouts of the leaders of Guangdong Province and Guangzhou City......
In April, Taiwan issued an order to the secret services in Hong Kong to launch the "Angel's Sword" assassination plan.
On June 17, Chen Long, Minister of Public Security, and Vice Minister of Public Security, obtained a piece of information: The Secret Bureau planned to send Zhao Yifan of Siyi Station to carry out the plan to assassinate Ye Shuai.

Upon receiving the information, Beijing immediately sent an urgent telegram, asking Guangzhou to strengthen the defense of Ye Shuai, and at the same time speed up the cracking of the case and smash the enemy's conspiracy.
The Ministry of Public Security sent Li Guangxiang, a capable general and director of the First Division of the Political Security Bureau, to Guangzhou to direct the cracking of the case.
On the eve of the 1 August Army Day, our side deciphered the enemy's telegram, and the spies planned to carry out an assassination operation on the day of the 1 August Army Day, when Ye Shuai was making a public speech in the square.
In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the Guangzhou public security, including the garrison, was dispatched and heavily guarded.
As a result, there was a false alarm, and the spies did not dare to do anything.
Vice Minister of Public Security Chen Long couldn't sit still, he felt that the enemy was in the dark, and I was in the open, so it was always impossible to prevent it, so it was better to take the initiative to arrest Zhao Yifan and solve the problem once and for all.
The comrades of the Public Security Bureau did a lot of work and mastered Zhao's whereabouts.
On September 19, 1952, the office of the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department sounded a rapid ** bell, the director of the department, Kou Qingyan, picked up the earpiece, and the leader of the Ministry of Public Security explained: "Zhao Yifan returned to Macao from Hong Kong, you must catch him, don't let him escape." ”
Director Kou immediately called a meeting to draw up a plan for the arrest.
Present at the meeting were Li Guangxiang of the Ministry of Public Security, Zhou Renjie, deputy commander of the Navy of the Central and Southern Military Region, and Liu Bi, chief of the reconnaissance section of the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department.
At the meeting, it was decided that the navy would dispatch warships carrying reconnaissance section chief Liu Bi and other key public security personnel to search for targets at sea and arrest them as soon as they were discovered.
At noon on September 24, Liu Yu sat on the sofa after lunch, and worked all night for several days, he was too tired.
As soon as his buttocks touched the sofa, the confidential officer sent a telegram from a comrade stationed in Hong Kong: "Zhao Yifan will take the 'Dexing' merchant ship to Macao at around 11 p.m. on the evening of the 24th. ”
At the end of the telegram, there was the pseudonym of Zhao Yifan's passport and his cabin number.
The viper is finally out of its hole!After reading the telegram, Liu Bi was in high spirits and his fatigue disappeared.
Because at that time, we did not have close cooperation with Hong Kong and Macao, so we could not do it there.
Now, since Zhao Yifan has left Hong Kong, he can make a move on the high seas, and it is impossible to escape from him.
But Liu Yu looked at the map, and his mood became nervous, at this time there were only 11 hours left before the "Dexing" set sail, and the passenger ship from Hong Kong to Macao, Lingdingyang was the only way.
From Guangzhou to the high seas, even if you speed up by speedboat, it is difficult to reach it in less than 10 hours.
Only by rushing to the open sea before 11 o'clock in the evening can the "Dexing" merchant ship be intercepted and Zhao Yifan captured.
After learning the news, the navy of the Central South Military Region immediately dispatched three speedboats and one 300-ton "Y2" minesweeper, together with 12 soldiers, to Liu Bi's full command.
At 17:40, Liu Yu took five scouts and boarded the speedboat and minesweeper.
After nearly 10 hours of high-speed sailing, the ship finally arrived at 23:20 in front of the merchant ship "De Xing" and came to the sea from Hong Kong Island to Macao.
The fighters turned off all the lights on the ship, held their breath, clenched their guns, and quietly waited for the arrival of the "prey" ......
At 1:20 a.m. on the 25th, the target appeared.
When the "De Xing Wheel" revealed its huge figure, the scouts were excited.
Liu Yu immediately ordered the minesweeper to light up the lights and send a signal to the "Dexing" in accordance with international practice: "We are the Chinese Navy, stop immediately and accept inspection!"”
When Captain James saw that it was the Chinese Navy, he didn't pay attention to it, and he said loudly to the first mate: "Speed up and ignore it." ”
Liu Bi was furious, and he said to the soldiers: "Fire the gun, warn them!."”
Subsequently, he commanded three speedboats to chase after him.
After the gunshots rang out, the "Dexing Wheel" still accelerated and turned a deaf ear.
At this time, the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, but the "Dexing Wheel" has no signs of slowing down at all.
The other party is a behemoth, and if it hits hard, it will definitely hit a stone with an egg.
Seeing that the other party was speeding up and was about to leave, Liu Yu was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and beads of sweat the size of beans leached out.
Liu Bi's brain is flying fast** The gun warning doesn't work, and the only way is to shoot it;However, the other side is a passenger ship, and there are many passengers on it, which is not a trivial matter, and it is likely to cause a diplomatic storm.
Besides, before leaving, the superiors did not authorize themselves to fire, and it was too late to ask for instructions.
But if the spy is let go, it will bring a big problem to Ye Shuai's safety.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu decided to give the order to open the cannon and let it out!
After receiving the order, the gunners on the Y2 boat fired **3 shells directly 100 meters in front of the passenger ship.
After the cannon fired, the first mate asked Captain James, "What should I do?"”
They don't dare to really fight, it's a bluff, leave him alone. James said.
The passenger ship continued to move forward, faster than before.
Liu Yu couldn't care so much at the moment, and said to the gunner: "Open the cannon and shoot at the stern!."”
After receiving the order, the gunner hesitated and said, "This is a passenger ship." ”
Hit, I'll take it when something happens!Liu Yu popped out a few words from between his teeth.
Suddenly, the shells whistled out of the chamber, and the sound was deafening.
Among them, a shell hit the stern of the ship impartially, emitting black smoke.
In this way, the Dexing was honest and obediently drove to Garbage Tail Island according to Liu Yu's instructions.
At this moment, it is already 2:14 a.m.
Ten minutes later, Liu Yu boarded the passenger ship with 10 soldiers, and said to James: "Mr. Captain, your ship is now sailing in China's territorial waters, and we want to search for criminal criminals, and I hope you will cooperate with the inspection." ”
James looked unhappy, but was forced to agree, and the announcer explained the reason for the stop to the ship's 2,000 passengers.
Liu Yu led the soldiers straight to Zhao Yifan's seat, but it was empty.
It turned out that Zhao Yifan was very cunning, and he had a premonition that the cannon was coming at him, so he quickly hid.
This hiding, on the contrary, made James feel that there were indeed criminals on the ship, and the anger had disappeared a lot.
The passenger ship was so big, Zhao Yifan was quickly caught, he knew that he could not escape the blame, and he was so frightened that his face was like ashes.
At 5:20, Liu Yu and his comrades-in-arms returned with the spy Zhao Yifan.
Behind them, several British fighters appeared, which had come to make trouble after receiving a call from Captain James, but by this time the ship "Destar" had already sailed to the open sea, and after circling a few times, they had no choice but to return.

However, this move did not cause serious consequences, and after mediation, the turmoil quickly subsided.
