Mondo History Updated on 2024-01-30

The Kuomintang encircled and suppressed the Red Army, and a generation of spy kings turned the tide, but a few years later they found that they were buried alive.

In late September 1934, Chiang Kai-shek secretly convened the chairmen of the five provinces and the senior commanders of various units in Lushan Guling to study the plan of "iron bucket encirclement and suppression". The meeting, which lasted for six days, was aimed at launching the fifth large-scale "encirclement and suppression" of the Red Army, gathering 1.5 million troops, and requiring all participating units to encircle the Soviet area on a specified date, with Ruijin as the center, to form a large encirclement with a radius of 300 miles, to form an encirclement of the Red Army, and to completely annihilate the Red Army.

At the same time, the plan also deployed countless mine arrays, barbed wire, bunker groups, and a large number of US trucks, and even detailed arrangements for the deployment of firepower, grain and grass, transportation, telecommunications, medical care, medicine, and ammunition.

Once the Soviet zone is "encircled by iron barrels", China's history may be rewritten. However, on the very night of the meeting, this perfect plan of "iron bucket encirclement and suppression" fell into the hands of the Communist Party.

What's going on?

With his self-taught four foreign languages, Lu Zhiying successfully obtained key information on the "Iron Bucket Project", helped the Red Army achieve a major strategic shift, and made significant contributions to the revolutionary cause.

Lu Zhiying, a Communist Party member who made great achievements in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, his deeds are touching. In 1935, in order to protect the safety of his comrades-in-arms during the mission, he reluctantly hung his young son on the branch of the sour jujube tree and told everyone to retreat safely.

Although his children lost their lives, his comrades were safe. Lu Zhiying once said: "It is not only you and I who lose our children." This account should also be recorded on the heads of the reactionaries.

Only on the day of victory can the children's happiness be guaranteed. "His tenacity and courage are admirable. In 1937, after the "77 Deeds", he went to Shanghai to set up an underground anti-Japanese military intelligence network, and took advantage of his knowledge of Japanese to gain the trust of Baodao, the commander of the Japanese Navy stationed in Wusong.

During this period, he opened the Hufeng Bakery Factory opposite Tilanqiao Prison, attached to the "Great China Cafe", and as the director of the factory, he broke into the 8 puppet military police and secret agencies to collect all kinds of intelligence on the Japanese army.

At the same time, he delivered medicines, medical equipment and *** to the New Fourth Army According to historical records, he once got 60 truckloads of arms from the Japanese army and sent them to the New Fourth Army;In 1942, under the cover of a wealthy businessman's boss, he and his wife, Zhang Yumin, drove a car to transport guns as a baseSu Yu crossed the Yangtze River three times, provided intelligence to the Japanese army twice, and transported a large amount of military supplies, including seamless steel pipes for making mortars, which strongly supported the construction of the New Fourth Army base area.

In 1945, after the surrender of Japan, he was ordered to take over Shanghai immediately. Because of his relationship, Baodao took the lead in handing over all the ** and military supplies of the Japanese naval headquarters in Wusong to him for the transfer of the New Fourth Army.

In 1938, due to Lu Zhiying's cooperation with the "Huangqiao Campaign" led by Su Yu, he was personally appointed as the deputy commander and chief of staff by the commander. For this reason, the ** commander once praised Lu Zhiying: "He is a rare military strategist!."

During the War of Liberation, Lu Zhiying led the formation of more than 30 underground military intelligence groups in the Beijing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou areas, and personally broke into the Kuomintang military command and the special service organs of the Central Union.

At the same time, he also took the opportunity to insert six comrades into the enemy's secret service and confidential department. Among them, one comrade was assigned by him to serve as a confidential staff officer of the Kuomintang Ministry of National Defense.

In the autumn of 1948, Fu Zuoyi's 54th Army secretly attacked Xibaipo, the first station of the Chinese Communist Party, and it was this comrade who revealed it.

Lu Zhiying's old photos brought a wealth of Kuomintang intelligence to the liberated areas, including troop deployment, equipment, etc. He was sent to Jiangxi De'an Moxiong as chief of staff, and Mo Xiong's support enabled him to successfully obtain information on the "iron bucket encirclement and suppression" plan.

However, he mysteriously disappeared on the eve of liberation and his whereabouts are unknown. In 1951, the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau arrested Ren Zongbing, a spy of the former Kuomintang Nanjing Military Police Headquarters, and he confessed to a ** incident.

According to Ren Zongbing's confession and identification, the three patriots may be the three martyrs Lu Zhiying, Chen Zitao, and Luo Hemin, who have been missing for many years. In March 1947, Lu Zhiying**, his wife and son were also imprisoned.

Chiang Kai-shek ordered the Central Bureau to use torture, torture, and threats to his life to force Lu Zhiying to submit, but none of them could shake his revolutionary will. Before his death, he left his wife an overcoat containing revolutionary poems and the words "victory in sight, death without complaint".

On June 11, 1951, the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau accompanied Lu Zhiying's family to Yuhuatai in Nanjing to excavate the place where they were buried.

The bodies of the three martyrs have decomposed, only skeletons remain, and the skeletons are scattered, and experts analyze that they woke up in the process of being buried, and suffocated to death after struggling.

Hearing the news, Zhang Yumin was grief-stricken, but she endured her grief, carefully observed the teeth of the three martyrs, and recognized the bones of her husband Lu Zhiying, as well as the two martyrs, Chen Zitao and Luo Hemin.

Chen Zitao and Luo Hemin were both editors of the Shanghai-based weekly Wen Cui, which was an important publication of the CCP in the White Zone at the time. In order to sabotage the "Wencui" magazine, the Kuomintang mobilized a large number of spies, and finally arrested Chen Zitao and Luo Hemin.

Later, representatives from all walks of life in Nanjing held a grand memorial service and moved the coffins of the three martyrs to the Yuhuatai Martyrs Cemetery. In 1981, the first truly meaningful TV series "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp" was based on Lu Zhiying's deeds.
