Vacuum tube events expose red**
Pay attention to the history of Jerry Cokan, take you to appreciate the charm of history, and relive the eventful years of the past! One evening in 1939, Zhang Weilin, the Kuomintang military commander in Chongqing, made an astonishing decision - to abandon the darkness and join the Communist Party openly.
Although this kind of thing is usually difficult to be above board, Zhang Weilin has done it. The reason is that after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, the Kuomintang moved its capital to Chongqing, and the Communist Party also set up the Southern Bureau and the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army Office in Chongqing.
Since the office is far away from the urban area of Chongqing, for convenience, the representative of the Communist Party of China in Chongqing rented a house at No. 50 Zengjiayan, which is the famous "Zhou Mansion".
Let's explore the mysteries of history!
It is no coincidence that the Chongqing Zhou Mansion was once the residence of *** and ***, and it is no coincidence that it is less than 100 meters away from the Kuomintang Military Command Bureau. Chiang Kai-shek still wanted to suppress the Communist Party at the height of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and even the residence of *** was monitored.
Dai Li, known as "the most mysterious figure in modern China", moved his base to the vicinity of the Zhou Mansion. Dai Li's subordinates watched the actions of the Zhou Mansion every day like eagle dogs with a keen sense of smell.
The military commanders monitored the Zhou Mansion very closely, and even opened a teahouse near it to facilitate keeping an eye on it at any time. Although the Zhou Mansion has strengthened its security, there are still some familiar and unfamiliar faces wandering outside, such as Zhang Weilin.
The staff of the Zhou Mansion had long been aware of this, so counter-espionage work was already being carried out in secret.
Zhang Weilin, a young and promising descendant of a scholarly family in southern Jiangsu, worked as a clerk in the Chongqing Military Command Telecommunications Office at the age of 23. However, there was a certain gap between him and the military commanders.
It is worth mentioning that he was a member of the periphery of the Communist Party and worked for a time in the organs of Soviet power in Jiangxi. After the Red Army's Long March, he fended for his own livelihood and was admitted to the radio training class in Shanghai, and later went to study in the eighth phase of the radio telecommunications class of the Hangzhou Military Command.
Zhang Weilin always remembered that his teacher was killed by the Kuomintang military for teaching progressive ideas, even though he did not know about his teacher's fault. He joined the ** front completely out of the ambition to serve the country, hoping to use the ** skills he learned to fight against the Japanese invaders behind enemy lines, and save tens of millions of innocent lives with a piece of intelligence and a code.
However, he was deeply disappointed by the corruption, partisanship, and cruelty within the military command, believing that this was not a righteous arena for serving the country, but a place of lynching where Chiang Kai-shek tried to exclude dissidents.
The Chongqing he saw had become a paradise for bureaucrats and capitalists, and he hoped to use his talents to serve the anti-Japanese front behind enemy lines, rather than using murderous tricks against his own compatriots.
He had witnessed the incompetence and passive resistance of the Kuomintang, the heroic scenes of the New Fourth Army led by the Communist Party fighting bravely to kill the enemy, and the tragic death of his teacher, all of which made the red fire in his heart burn again.
Zhang Weilin made a major decision during the Anti-Japanese War, he wanted to break away from his work as a radio station in the Telecommunications Department of the Military Command Bureau and rejoin the Communist Party. His way was very direct, he walked directly to the gate of the Zhou Mansion, attracting the attention of the guards at the door.
At first, the guard thought he was a spy sent by Dai Li, but seeing his nervous expression, he stepped forward to ask. Zhang Weilin told the guard that he was looking for someone from the Zhou Mansion, and the guard took him to Lei Yingfu, a staff officer of ***.
Lei Yingfu asked Zhang Weilin about his intentions, and he confessed his identity, saying that he hated the Kuomintang and wanted to find the Communist Party to abandon the secret and turn to the light. This is the first ** spy who swaggered into the Zhou Mansion to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, Lei Yingfu felt that this matter was not trivial, so he reported the news to ***
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the ** general began to be suspicious of the military commanders' coming to defect, but the other party's "blatantness" made him convinced. However, considering that the other party was a member of the military command, ** still asked Lei Yingfu to question him.
When Zhang Weilin faced Lei Yingfu, he revealed the fact that he was a "supernumerary" member of the Communist Party, and dispelled Lei Yingfu's doubts with his natural narration and true story.
Lei Yingfu said that further review and verification are needed, and at the same time, he also hopes that Zhang Weilin can prove his sincerity with actions. Zhang Weilin expressed his understanding and put forward his own request - hoping to be sent to Yan'an after the review is over.
In Zhang Weilin's imagination, the censorship may refer to the hope that he can set up a "letter of nomination". He decided to take this as an opportunity to present himself with a rich meeting gift - he copied all the telegram codes of the military commanders!
Zeng Xisheng, chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, confirmed that the password was true after repeated verification.
Zhang Weilin has made great contributions to our party! Our party has obtained the military command code without any effort, and Comrade Zhang Weilin stepped forward at a critical moment to solve the urgent needs of our party.
Comrade Zhang Weilin's resolute determination to abandon darkness and turn to the light has proved his conviction with practical actions, which is admirable. ** Comrade deeply felt Comrade Zhang Weilin's loyalty and bravery, and approved him to join the Communist Party of China and become a member of our party.
Comrade Zhang Weilin's role in Chongqing was equally important, and he provided tremendous help to our party's work behind enemy lines. Many years later, Comrade Zhang Weilin's status as a "supernumerary" was finally confirmed and he became a full member of our party.
In China during the Anti-Japanese War, ** and Zhang Weilin became "red**" and successfully secretly collected intelligence for our party within the Kuomintang military command. Their actions changed their lives and made them feel that they had souls, minds, and beliefs that they had never experienced in the Kuomintang military hierarchy.
They also succeeded in co-opting a number of aspiring young people who were dissatisfied with the corruption of the Kuomintang, forming a powerful "red **" team. However, their task is not over.
** Pai Lei Yingfu brought a young and beautiful woman, her name is Zhang Luping, and she is a liaison sent by Yan'an. Although Zhang Luping was born in poverty, she bravely pursued her ideals and aspired to become a woman in the new era.
The experience of her eldest sister being forced to become the third aunt made her full of hatred for the dark old society, and strengthened her determination. The addition of Zhang Luping has made their team stronger and their actions more successful.
They will continue to collect intelligence for our party and contribute their strength to the cause of China's liberation.
Zhang Luping met Che Yaoxian, a military commissar of the Western Sichuan Special Committee of the Communist Party of China, at a very young age, and participated in the anti-Japanese salvation movement through him. Later, she was sent to Yan'an by the Sichuan underground organization for training, where she studied hard and achieved excellent results.
Zhang Luping is an outstanding student at Shaanbei Public School and Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, and is also good at writing poetry, singing, acting in dramas, and even being proficient in swimming and horseback riding. Her enthusiasm, energy, and versatility made her stand out in school and become an idol for everyone.
Once, Zhang Luping commanded the female students to sing "Do a Job" collectively, and her bravery and firmness left a deep impression on everyone, and everyone called her "Do a Job" from then on.
**I was also attracted by Zhang Luping's enthusiasm and talent, and felt that she was a young man with potential. When Zhang Luping was taken to the Chongqing Southern Bureau to work in intelligence, she was only 18 years old.
In order to facilitate Zhang Weilin's secret access to the Zhou Mansion, ** specially took Zhang Luping from Yan'an as a single-line liaison. Zhang Luping's work is outstanding, and her bravery and determination have enabled her to successfully complete her mission.
Zhang Weilin's information was all handed over to Lei Yingfu through her, so that he didn't have to run to the Zhou Mansion anymore. Zhang Luping's talent and courage have made her a "contemporary Mulan" in the eyes of ***.
Before Zhang Luping carried out the task, ** told her to always contact Lei Yingfu alone, and he arranged all the activities. At the same time, except for *** and Lei Yingfu, she can't reveal to anyone that she was sent by Yan'an.
Zhang Luping is a very beautiful woman, and people will remember her at a glance. Now, she has to forget all the names of her past, including Yu Jiaying and Li Lin. Her new name is Zhang Luping, a native of Shanghai, who came to Chongqing to defect to her "elder brother" Zhang Weilin, who lives in the Military Command Bureau.
Although the intelligence work has Zhang Luping as a "transit person", she still can't go in and out of the Zhou Mansion often, because the agents of the Military Command Bureau will follow her closely. Therefore, Lei Yingfu and Zhang Luping changed the location of the delivery of information to a small alley in Sidri, and asked Zhang Weilin to move from the Military Command Bureau to two bungalows in Niujiaotuo.
Lei Yingfu reminded Zhang Luping that there are three points that need to be paid attention to when transmitting information: first, it must be timely and cannot be delayed; Second, don't fix the time, in case the spies become suspicious after discovering the law; Third, if there is a mistake or identity is exposed, priority should be given to destroying intelligence to protect the safety of Zhang Weilin and others.
Inside the Zhou Mansion, Zhang Luping became the core of the "red **", and formed a "seven-person group" with Zhang Weilin, Feng Chuanqing and other 6 people. They worked closely together to pass on confidential information from the Kuomintang to the Communists, while deciphering many important pieces of information.
The existence of this group enabled the Communist Party's intelligence work to proceed smoothly and avoided many incalculable losses. Their existence shattered many attempts by Chiang Kai-shek to use the War of Resistance against the Communist Party to defeat them.
Zhang Luping, as the leader of this group, has made many miraculous achievements. Once, Dai Li sent a special team disguised as a progressive youth to enter Yan'an, and it was the timely information provided by Zhang Luping that made this special team capture as soon as it entered Yan'an.
Dai was puzzled by this, not understanding how the Communists saw through his plan. In fact, when Chiang Kai-shek ordered Dai Li to closely monitor the Communist Chongqing's Southern Bureau, ** and *** skillfully took advantage of this opportunity to play Dai Li's hands in the palm of his hand.
The existence of these "red **" is a huge threat to the Kuomintang. The secret information they passed on made Dai Liqian's instructions be sent to the Communist Party.
Even Dai Li's own work and living habits have been clearly revealed under the surveillance of *** and ***.
One of the most frustrating things about Dai Li's career was that his "team of seven" became more and more tacit in the intelligence work of the Chongqing Military Command Bureau. Ms. Zhang is a low-key messenger in the group, and she likes to wear coffee-colored dresses, ruby rings, and lipstick, which are fashionable but not too obtrusive.
Her excellent cover work made the military commanders trust her "brother" Zhang Weilin more and more, and promoted him to the position of telecommunications surveillance. However, one of Zhang's negligences led to his failure.
He wrote information and copied code at home, without setting up any hiding place, and was found out. He secretly came to the Zhou Mansion to find Zeng Xisheng, chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, and asked him to help him escape to Yan'an, because he burned the vacuum tube of a detection radio station of the Military Control Bureau, and the Military Control Bureau wanted to punish him.
Zhang Weilin accidentally damaged the vacuum tube of the detection radio, causing the radio station to be unusable, and he asked Dong Yisan to help solve it. Although Dong Yisan was very embarrassed by this request, he still decided to help Zhang Weilin considering his situation.
However, Zhang Weilin went to Dong Yisan without asking Dai Li for leave, which inadvertently made a big mistake. Because Dai Li set up a rule that the discipline of the personnel management of the Military Command Bureau is very strict, if it is found that someone has not arrived at his post, he will immediately report to the inspection department, and then he will send people to search for him everywhere.
This put Zhang Weilin in danger, but he still insisted on repairing the radio station, hoping to return to work as soon as possible.
After spending most of the day at Dong Yisan's place, Dai Li and Zhang Weilin did not expect that the people from the Military Command Inspection Department had thoroughly searched Zhang Weilin's home. During this search, they found Zhang Weilin's unfinished new password for the Military Command Bureau, a map of the organization and distribution of the military command throughout the country, a roster of military command personnel, and call signs on radio stations in various places, all of which shocked Dai Li and Zhang Weilin.
Dai Li originally thought that Zhang Weilin was just a simple absenteeism, but he didn't expect that this search would make them make an astonishing discovery. Zhang Weilin's identity was revealed. This news panicked the eagle dogs who liked to sniff around in the military command, and they immediately realized that there might be more than one red ** inside the military command.
At Zhang Weilin's home, they also found Zhang Luping's letter, thus concluding that she was also a red **. In order to trap Zhang Luping, the spies sent a telegram in the name of Zhang Weilin that "Brother is seriously ill and will return quickly".
Zhang Luping didn't know that this was a trap, thinking that something had happened to Zhang Weilin, so she wrote a letter to the Chongqing Southern Bureau in code to report, and hurriedly set off to return.
As a result, she was arrested by the spies as soon as she arrived in Chongqing. Similarly, the spies also found Zhao Ligeng, Yang Xun, Chen Guozhu, and Wang Xizhen, the four red ** lurking in the military command, and they were all exposed.
In a short period of time, the "team of seven" exposed 6 people one after another.
Feng Chuanqing and Zhang Luping sensed that something was wrong, and successfully escaped over the wall and left Chongqing city disguised as businessmen. Feng Chuanqing's disappearance made Dai Li furious, and he ordered checkpoints to be set up across the country to arrest Feng Chuanqing.
However, Feng Chuanqing successfully crossed the Yangtze River and was arrested by the military commanders while passing through the Aoki Pass checkpoint. The successive exposure of these red ** made Dai Li dumbfounded, which was a great irony of his career as a spy chief.
What made Dai Li's blood pressure soar the most was that this also included Zhang Weilin, whom he had just promoted. They uncovered many secrets of the military command, which made the Kuomintang lose face.
Zhang Weilin, Zhang Luping, Feng Chuanqing, and other seven lonely heroes were all exposed in the military command, and this incident shocked the Kuomintang government and the public. Chiang Kai-shek scolded Dai Li, and the level of anger was even unprecedented.
Even Shen Zui, a former military commander agent, recalled: "Dai Li gritted his teeth and hated it. ”
Dai Li decided to interrogate Zhang Luping in person, intending to extract information from her. But this 19-year-old girl has always remained steadfast in the face of torture and has never revealed the slightest party secret.
** tried to rescue them, but they all failed, because the military commanders increased their precautions. Even though she was tortured in prison, Zhang Luping did not forget to unite with her fellow inmates and firmly guarded the faith of the Communist Party.
They were finally executed in 1945, and before their deaths shouted: "Down with the Kuomintang reactionaries!" Down with Chiang Kai-shek! Long live the Communist Party of China! ”
Zhang Luping and other seven martyrs bravely fought for the revolution, and their heroic deeds are heartbreaking. It is said that before being escorted to the execution ground, martyr Zhang Luping deliberately changed into the coffee-colored dress she often wore, put on a ruby ring, and asked her fellow inmates to help her put on lipstick.
This is a magnificent chapter of a hero's struggle for the most beautiful moment. However, the damage to this vacuum tube made seven red ** lurking in the military command sacrifice their young lives, which can't help but make people think deeply.
In the author's opinion, there are still some doubts in the whole thing. It stands to reason that Zhang Weilin is a person with rich experience, and the damage of a vacuum tube should not make him so flustered that his identity is exposed.
Moreover, even if the detection radio station is not working properly due to the damage of the vacuum tube, the Communist Party will not blame him, after all, compared to intelligence, the safety of the red ** is the most important.
The vacuum tube was damaged, Zhang Weilin took the risk to go out to find Zeng Xisheng and then Dong Yisan, so that his unexcused absence aroused the suspicion of the military commander, and he did not hide the collected information in time, resulting in the exposure of the "seven-person team".
If you think about it, these problems can be avoided. So, why did Zhang Weilin, an experienced **, make such a mistake? I'm afraid there is another hidden story in this, but what exactly it is is unknown, and I am afraid it will be an eternal mystery.
If Zhang Weilin hadn't damaged the vacuum tube, if he had been able to stay in the Military Control Bureau after the vacuum tube had been damaged, if he hadn't gone to Dong Yisan, if he hadn't kept the information at home, then this tragedy might not have happened.
But history has no ifs, we can only feel those thrilling and tragic stories through the remaining historical documents, and remember those unknown devotees for the Chinese revolution, although they did not enjoy a peaceful life, but they are unsung heroes.
