In July 1949, a special historic organization was proclaimed in Beijing, and its name is memorable
In order to ensure the smooth running of this unprecedented grand gathering, the public security, intelligence, security and other departments went all out. These efforts have only one purpose, and that is to guard against the spies who are lurking in the shadows.
In this operation, it is necessary not only to use crowd tactics, but also to carry out a meticulous search for needles under the sea, and not let go of any clues. Because once it affects the founding ceremony, the consequences will be unimaginable.
It was at this moment that a soldier stumbled upon a cigarette butt, and after deep thought, he managed to crack a major case.
Beiping was not forced to liberate after the defeat, but was the product of peaceful liberation. After the peaceful liberation of Beiping, Fu Zuoyi's army of 250,000 accepted the reorganization. However, it is worth noting that there are still some reactionaries who are dissatisfied with the reality, and some even choose to flee.
After the People's Liberation Army (PLA) entered Beiping, Fu Zuoyi's Kuomintang spy organization did not stop its activities. In order to stabilize the social situation, they adopted a series of measures, including "eliminating enemy specialities" and "sheltering stragglers."
These efforts gradually eased tensions in Peiping. In March 1949, when the Liberation War was coming to an end, at the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee, it was decided to move the office from Xibaipo to Beiping.
From this moment on, the safety and security work of Beiping will be raised to a whole new level. Colleagues from the Supply Department went to Beiping in advance and chose temporary accommodation for the leaders.
They conducted detailed research and initially chose Xiangshan, and only later decided to go to Zhongnanhai. When the big picture is decided, the founding ceremony is about to take place, hundreds of thousands of people will be in the rally, and most of the leaders will ascend the tower, so the issue of security becomes paramount.
After a long period of rectification, the law and order in Peiping had been greatly improved, but Chiang Kai-shek would not easily admit defeat, so the enemy's means of destruction also shifted from open to covert, and the means were more dangerous and arrogant.
Due to the urgency of the task, it was decided to transfer some personnel from the unit, together with the picket brigade that was previously familiar with the work, to form a public security force. These people are all all-round talents who are politically reliable and have excellent military skills.
In this way, the public security ** column was officially established, and their first task was to protect the security of the founding ceremony.
A month before the ceremony, the soldiers had already begun to carry out strict inspections at Tiananmen Square, meticulously detailing every detail, and even using mine detectors to carefully inspect the inside and outside of the tower, section by section, to ensure that all the commanding heights were guarded with tight guard posts.
Of course, the Tiananmen Tower is the last line of defense, and the real challenge lies in the streets outside. On September 20 of that year, the Beiping picket column and the Municipal Public Security Bureau joined forces and arrested 175 bandits, including Wang Fenggang, in one fell swoop, dealing a heavy blow to the enemy.
At the important moment when the founding of New China was founded, in addition to blatant spies, there were also some habitual sneakers who came to spy on military and political intelligence, steal documents from the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and even investigate the people's political parties.
In order to ensure the smooth holding of the founding ceremony, the public security column was responsible for the Tiananmen Tower and the surrounding area, the Beiping picket column was responsible for the military parade and mass meeting in Tiananmen Square, and the guard tasks from the three guest houses to Zhongnanhai, and the Beiping City Public Security Corps was responsible for the guard tasks in the outer city.
After a large number of enemy agents had been eliminated and all the guard work was carried out in order, it was officially announced that the People's Republic of China would be established on October 1. This news shocked Chiang Kai-shek, and he ordered the spies hidden in Peiping to sabotage at all costs.
At the critical juncture, as the platoon commander of the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Division of the Public Security Division, Liu Lianhu discovered the enemy's situation with his meticulous observation and made important contributions to ensuring the safety of 1 October.
The various security agencies are also on high alert because of his actions to prevent any possible accidents.
As a spy, Liu knows that his opponents will be in all possible routes. Therefore, he also arranged his own eyeliner on the route from Zhongnanhai to Tiananmen Square in order to keep abreast of the enemy's movements.
As he walked, he spotted a very striking cigarette butt that showed a rare type of cigarette on the market. He immediately pretended to be unintentional and walked over to the cigarette butt, squatted down to pick it up, and found that there was a small note hidden under the cigarette butt, which was covered with dense handwriting.
Liu Lianhu immediately realized that this was an important piece of information, and he quickly hid the note on his body and prepared to hand it over to his superiors.
This kind of cigarette is not a high-end cigarette that ordinary people can afford, and the southern brand is not popular in the north, and the people who smoke in the north cannot adapt to the taste.
In addition, the transportation of goods from the north to the south is not considered circulation, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to transport goods, and if the goods from the south are transported to the north, the price spent on the road is very high.
No merchant wants to do this kind of business, and the cigarette retailers in the north will not be so stupid. Therefore, it is not very likely that this smoke will appear on the streets of the North. In the hustle and bustle of preparing for the founding ceremony, it is difficult for anyone to have time to wander the streets.
Although cigarette butts and shoe prints have been found, these alone cannot be used to characterize others. Therefore, he needs to continue to look for more clues.
An ominous premonition suddenly swelled in Liu Huanhu's heart, and he realized that there must be an unusual figure hiding nearby. He immediately reported the situation to his superiors, who attached great importance to it and asked Liu Lianhu and others to carefully investigate and not miss any clues.
After receiving the instructions, Liu Zhuan Hu led the other scouts to explore the vicinity, but this clue was soon interrupted. He came to the vicinity of the place where the cigarette butts appeared, and groped around the nearby streets and alleys with his comrades, but this kind of squatting was destined to be boring.
After waiting for a whole day and seeing no suspicious people at the scene, Liu Lianhu began to wonder if his judgment was wrong. Over the next few days, Mr. Liu was constantly on his toes and wandering around, with a hunch that the man smoking a Pegasus cigarette and wearing leather shoes would reappear nearby.
On the fifth day, his hunch was finally validated, and a man in a top hat appeared on the scene, drawing as he walked, as if studying something.
Liu Lianhu made a decisive move to stop Wang Yicai, who was studying the road map. However, Wang Yicai saw that the matter was revealed, and directly took out the dagger. After several rounds of fierce fighting, Liu Lianhu successfully captured him.
During the ongoing interrogation, Wang Yicai confessed that he was a spy of the Beiping Intelligence Group of the North China Supervision Group of the Kuomintang Second Department of National Defense, tasked with drawing maps and preparing to attack the convoy on October 1.
These agents were so numerous that they even found the way the convoy had to go. If they are allowed to do whatever they want, the consequences will be unimaginable.
At that time, the pressure on the police was beyond imagination. Many "sharp-eyed" people used subtle clues to find out the spies lurking in the shadows. For example, on September 24, a spy lurking in Beiping was successfully arrested.
In the hotel, representatives of all parties have already moved in, and they are all figures of high status. During the inspection, the sentry noticed that the "vegetable farmer" wiped the sweat from his head with his hand and did not show any other unusual behavior.
However, it was this seemingly insignificant gesture that made the Sentinel realize that his arms were unusually white and strong, which did not match the image of a farmer. So, the sentry immediately took him to the duty room for interrogation.
After several rounds of confrontation, Wu Ruijin was unable to parry and intended to commit suicide, but was stopped in time by the soldiers who had a premonition in advance, and they also found a small time bomb on his body, and the situation was very critical.
The tense moment occurred in the early morning of October 1, when the entire Tiananmen Square and the surrounding area were fully alerted, all intersections were blocked, and vehicles and pedestrians were not allowed to pass. At two o'clock in the morning, he came to the scene to inspect the soldiers on the mission of security, to see in detail the places that *** would pass through during the day, and to ensure that all the guard lines were foolproof.
Finally, he went to the lounge and sat down to check that everything was in order.
When leaving, the prime minister specifically told the security personnel that several elderly people from the democratic parties would go up to the castle tower during the day, hoping that they would arrange personnel to assist them. On the instructions of the Prime Minister, every corner was inspected again.
At 12 noon, people attending the founding ceremony wore new clothes and carried national flags, and various branches of the armed forces entered the city one after another. At around 1 p.m., the guests attending the ceremony ascended to the viewing platform in an orderly manner.
Two hours later, ** appeared on time on the Tiananmen Tower, his arrival made the entire Tiananmen Square boil, at this time the soldiers in charge of security were the most nervous, they still watched every corner, not letting go of any possible omission.
In a joyful atmosphere, the founding of New China was solemnly announced, and Tiananmen Square once again turned into a sea of joy.
In the course of the founding ceremony, everything seemed unusually calm, and nothing unusual happened. This is because, despite Chiang Kai-shek's attempts"**", but his spy organization has been completely ** by the Central Command and the Military Command, and they have been secretly carrying out sabotage activities.
However, Liu Lianhu and other fighters were put on alert a long time ago, and they devoted themselves to the task of defending, and finally successfully completed this mission of great significance.
After the ceremony, the public security column and other departments were also commended, and their efforts day and night in exchange for the final great victory.
