In late May 1949, the Third Field Army of the People's Liberation Army launched the Shanghai Campaign, and on May 27, it successfully liberated the entire city. In accordance with the instructions of **, **, who served as the commander and political commissar of the Third Field Army, was appointed mayor of Shanghai.
Chiang Kai-shek was furious when he heard the news, and he gritted his teeth and ordered Mao Renfeng to carry out an assassination operation. However, the two assassination attempts organized by Mao Renfeng ended in failure, and after the news reached Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek severely criticized Mao Renfeng and personally designated the assassin: "Send Liu Quande, only he can successfully 'solve'**."
So, who is Liu Quande? Why was he considered by Chiang Kai-shek to be the only person he had to assassinate **?
On May 27, 1949, Shanghai was liberated, and ** was appointed mayor of Shanghai. The former PLA commander greeted a devastated city with an unpretentious, thrifty and thrifty style.
Shanghai's industry is almost semi-paralyzed, and the textile industry is even more barren. In addition, problems such as spies and bandits have caused social order to be unstable. However, after a period of working day and night, production in Shanghai gradually recovered, and the social order became more and more stable.
* While reviewing the documents in the office, the secretary came in with a letter in his hand that read "** Mayor's Receipt". He opened the envelope, and inside was a heavy bullet and nothing else.
He understood that it was a threatening letter from Kuomintang agents who wanted his life. However, he smiled indifferently and threw the envelope and bullet into the garbage basket next to him. A few days later, he mentioned the incident in front of the old personnel, and he smiled and said, "A bullet wants to scare me, it's too underestimating me."
I've experienced thousands of battles, and I'm still afraid of this? "His courage touched those present. Subsequently, the two former personnel took the initiative to confess what they knew about the grand conspiracy of the Kuomintang secret service.
They revealed that the Kuomintang Secrecy Bureau and its secret service agencies sent spies to infiltrate Shanghai and planned to assassinate the main party, government, and military leaders in Shanghai by means of ** and ** in order to create chaos.
* is their primary goal.
The Kuomintang secret services were plotting an assassination plan, and they knew that Shanghai had just been liberated, and there were all kinds of people, so they needed not worry about running out of places. The first batch of spies to carry out the mission was 28 people, led by the stationmaster of Feng Qizeng, and infiltrated Shanghai from Zhoushan.
They carried dozens of American-style silent pistols, light machine guns, and long and short guns, as well as a full set of radio equipment. However, the police caught them all. Chiang Kai-shek, who was unwilling to be defeated, sent a second group of Kuomintang spies led by Zhu Shanyu, planning to assassinate ** again.
This time, they carried not only guns and radios, but also American-style detonators, high-energy explosives and highly toxic cyanide. Zhu Shanyu submitted the assassination plan to Mao Renfeng and asked him for approval.
The plan is divided into two parts: one part is the Secret Bureau** Zhao Ziqiang's girlfriend Yang is a Yue Opera actor and has recently rekindled her old relationship with Zhao Ziqiang. Yang told Zhao Ziqiang that she had a little sister from the same township who was the secretary of the head of a theater troupe in Shanghai, and ** often went to the house of the head of their troupe as a guest, so she could get close to ** through this layer of relationship and carry out assassination.
The other part was to go to Wuxi to contact Pan Zhen, the leader of the remnants of the "Southeast People's Rescue", and give him the title of "Captain of the Lower Yangtze River Detachment", and let him lead the team to a designated place in the suburbs of Shanghai, and then cooperate with the "special operations group" to complete the task.
After reading the report, Mao Renfeng quickly agreed to the plan and ordered them to implement it immediately. However, on the way back to Shanghai after contacting Pan Zhen, Xue Zhongying was detained halfway by our public security officers on the grounds of "private possession and forgery of ID cards".
In this case, Zhu Shanyu and his gang had no choice but to come to Shanghai with ** and lurk in various places. Soon after, Zhu Shanyu learned that the first plan was unsuccessful, and Zhao Ziqiang's girlfriend failed to plot against the little sisters.
At the same time, China's public security department has grasped the whereabouts of Zhu Shanyu and taken action against his residence. Zhu Shanyu was alert and escaped a day early, narrowly escaping the search and arrest of our public security department.
However, since Zhu Shan's plan had already been revealed, our public security department decided to send scout Shen Wu to penetrate into the enemy's interior in order to thoroughly wipe out Zhu Shanqi and other enemy elements.
After Shen Wu was instructed, he deliberately expressed his dissatisfaction in order to attract Zhao Ziqiang's attention. Sure enough, Zhao Ziqiang was fooled and introduced Shen Wu to Zhu Shanape. Soon after, Shen Wu contacted the personnel of our public security department to set a trap and arrest Zhu Shanyu and others.
On a dusk on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1949, Chiang Kai-shek, dressed in a black robe, wearing a top hat and holding a cane, came to the top of a hill. He took the telescope from his entourage's hand, slowly lifted it, and looked at the vast sea ...... through the telescope's high-powered lens
Chiang Kai-shek did not really accept defeat, he comforted himself and encouraged his entourage, "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and it is undecided who will win or lose, and see who can have the last laugh." The entourage said that they would turn defeat into victory, and Chiang Kai-shek replied firmly: "I will not give up, I will return to the mainland!" ”
He then told Mao Renfeng that they couldn't give up the assassination, and only Liu Quande could complete the task. Liu Quande grew up in the ranks of our party, he was clever and capable, and he held many positions in the army.
In 1933, he was sent to Shanghai to do the underground party's anti-traitor and security work, but later betrayed our party under severe torture and temptation, and became a special agent of the military command. Liu Quande is handsome, but his marksmanship is very accurate, he is ruthless, he has carried out many assassinations and ** operations, and he is the enemy's cunning opponent.
Liu Quande: From Defender to Assassin Liu Quande, once a guardian, is now an assassin. On the evening of October 30, 1949, a top-secret telegram was sent to Yang Fan, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau, revealing that Taiwan's secret services had sent Liu Quande to lead An Pinggui, Ouyang Qin and others to Shanghai to assassinate the mayor of Shanghai.
Seeing this telegram, Yang Fan immediately took a car with Director Li Shiying to **'s residence and reported the situation to him. ** After carefully reading the message, he sighed and said, "Liu Quande, Liu Quande ......."Yang Fan was very puzzled, and hurriedly asked: "Is there anything special about this Liu Quande?" ”
* After a pause, he said, "He was once my subordinate, and he was my defender, but now he is coming to assassinate me." That's it, Lao Jiang's spies are coming, and you can't stop him from coming, so let's come if they want to come.
But since they are here, they can't be allowed to escape, and they must be detected with all their might, and they must all be captured. Liu Quande was appointed as the "colonel leader of the action group directly under the State Security Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense," and the action group consisted of six people, all of whom were personally selected by Liu Quande.
Before leaving Taiwan for the mainland, Liu Quande chose An Pinggui and Ouyang Qin as team members, and had a short-term simple ** training with the two of them. At the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau, Yangfan has taken effective measures to strengthen the security of ** residences and when going out.
At the same time, he also decided to concentrate power and seize Liu Quande first. The appearance of this top-secret telegram unveiled the change of Liu Quande's identity and also revealed the conspiracy of the Kuomintang secret service.
According to the investigation, Liu Quande had four close friends in Shanghai, and he may have taken refuge at their residence. To this end, we have formulated an investigation plan of "opening a net to fish" and "casting a net when you see a fish": the first is to set up a net at Wusongkou to prevent Liu Quande from sneaking in; the second is to quickly dismantle the four people who have a relationship with Liu Quande, and strive to make them useful to us; The third is to continue the search for new and important leads.
When Liu Quande and the members of the action team, An Pinggui and Ouyang Qin, arrived in Shanghai, they immediately came to the residence of Huang Bamei, the female bandit leader. Huang Bamei is a well-known female bandit in the suburbs of Shanghai, and after defecting to the Kuomintang, she was appointed by Mao Renfeng as "deputy chief of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Suppression Headquarters directly under the Rebellion and Founding Corps" and other positions.
On the eve of the liberation of Shanghai, Huang Bamei fled to Yangshan Island in the Zhoushan region with her subordinates, and sent her subordinates to infiltrate Shanghai many times to carry out sabotage activities, but they were all wiped out by our army.
Although Huang Bamei's subordinates were annihilated by our army, she herself fled, and Huang Bamei was also a "time bomb" buried by Mao Renfeng in the Zhoushan area. After Liu Quande and the others arrived in Dinghai, he first asked Huang Bamei to send the three of them to Dayang Mountain, and then said to Huang Bamei: "The goal of the three of us acting together is too big, it is easy to be discovered, you send An Pinggui and Ouyang Qin to Shanghai first, and I will go later." ”
As a result, Liu Quande quietly left Dayangshan on the night of November 1, secretly landed near Hangzhou, Zhejiang, and infiltrated Shanghai on November 2.
Super Killer"Liu Quande and his accomplices were all captured, and ** have been searched for many days, but no trace of him has been found. After investigation, the Public Security Bureau found two people who might have come into contact with Liu Quande, they are Lu Zhongda and Gao Jiyun, who have been retained by Xin**.
Although Lu Zhongda and Gao Jiyun are both old acquaintances of Liu Quande and have a negative history, after the liberation of Shanghai, they chose to work for our party. The command demanded that they conduct a comprehensive investigation of all Liu Quande's social relations in Shanghai and take the initiative to look for his traces.
Lu Zhongda accepted the assignment and went to Jiang Guanqiu's house on the night of November 8. He originally planned to go back to report after finding out the situation, but he didn't expect to see a familiar figure as soon as he entered the door.
It turned out that Liu Quande had been hiding in Jiang Guanqiu's house. Suddenly seeing Lu Zhongda, Liu Quande was very frightened, he immediately looked out the window, and only after confirming that there was no danger was relieved.
After the two exchanged greetings, Liu Quande took the initiative to say: "I just came from Zhoushan, and I was looking for someone to introduce me to the Public Security Bureau to surrender." Lu Zhongda knew that Liu Quande was testing him, so he pretended to complain: "Alas, old friend, I am also unemployed, and I came here today to ask some old friends to see if there is a relationship that can introduce me to a job." ”
However, Lu Zhongda's words did not dispel Liu Quande's vigilance, and his eyes were full of vigilance. After a few words, Liu Quande said, "I'm leaving, why don't you come with me?" ”
Lu Zhongda had no choice but to follow him and leave.
Lu Zhongda, who was walking alone in the middle of the night, was surrounded by only street lights, and his heart was full of regret. He realized that if he followed Liu Quande all the time, it might arouse his suspicions, and if he gave up, he didn't know when he would see him next time.
After much consideration, he decided to give up for the time being, so as not to startle the snake. He said to Liu Quande: "Brother, I'll go first, and I have to ask other friends if they have any job introductions." ”
Then, they broke up. Lu Zhongda's coincidence caused a great response from the command. This, they argued, proved that Liu Quande was indeed in Shanghai and was relying on his old connections for his activities.
And his range of activity is already in our hands, and it is only a matter of time before he is caught. At this time, Gao Jiyun, another old friend of Liu Quande, put forward a suggestion to go to Shi Xiaofeng's house on Shanxi Road.
Shi Xiaofeng had covered Liu Quande before, and the two had a good relationship, and Liu Quande might go to his house to hide. The proposal was approved, and Gao Jiyun rode his bicycle to the downstairs of Shi Xiaofeng's house.
As soon as he parked his bicycle, Shi Xiaofeng upstairs found him and took the initiative to come over to say hello.
The three of us haven't seen each other for a long time, so we must get drunk today! "Three people, you respect me, I respect you, the atmosphere is harmonious. After dinner, when Gao Jiyun was drinking tea, he wanted to catch Liu Quande, but he noticed that Liu Quande's waist was bulging, and it was estimated that there was a gun, so it was not easy to catch him, and getting out was the key.
Gao Jiyun had an idea, and thought of using the cigarette butt to induce vomiting to get rid of the tracking. He took the opportunity to swallow the butt of the cigarette, and sure enough, he vomited. Shi Xiaofeng and Liu Quande mistakenly thought he was drunk and asked him about his condition with concern.
Gao Jiyun took the opportunity to leave, and Shi Xiaofeng also sent him out, and repeatedly told him to slow down. After Gao Jiyun left, he regained his consciousness and realized that someone was watching him. He got on his bicycle and went to find the nearby traffic police and the People's Liberation Army and ask for their help.
After the traffic police consulted the leader, they came to Shi Xiaofeng's house with the PLA patrol. Gao Jiyun was worried that they would pounce into the air, so he asked them to stay downstairs for the time being, and he went upstairs to see the situation first.
At this time, Liu Quande was still at Shi Xiaofeng's home, lying on the bed with his eyes closed. Gao Jiyun appeared again, and Shi Xiaofeng was surprised. Gao Jiyun explained that he was too drunk to ride a bicycle, so he left the bicycle at Shi Xiaofeng's house.
After Shi Xiaofeng agreed, Gao Jiyun hurriedly went downstairs and signaled that the person was still there and could act. The traffic police and the People's Liberation Army immediately rushed to the second floor, kicked the door open, pointed to Shi Xiaofeng and Liu Quande in the room, and said: "Don't move, you have been arrested!" ”
After Liu Quande**, he began to pretend to be stupid and stunned, and never cooperated with the investigation. Our team was thinking about how to break through Liu Quande's defenses, and at that moment, a mysterious person appeared, turning the whole situation around.
On November 13, the scouts who were squatting at Jiang Guanqiu's house successfully captured Qiu Ming, a spy who came to contact him. Like Liu Quande, he carried out assassination missions, but the targets he assassinated not only **, but also Chen Geng, Deng Yingchao, Li Shiying and so on.
During Qiu Ming's interrogation, he voluntarily confessed and expressed his willingness to turn over a new leaf. Through this achievement, our side successfully pried open Liu Quande's mouth, and the Public Security Bureau took advantage of the victory to pursue and crack the case of Mao Sen's "Southeast People's ** National Salvation Shanghai Action Column", and arrested the chief captain and 10 people below.
This is a major piece of information that we do not yet have. The task of this sleeper group was to develop forces, search for intelligence, and eventually build a guerrilla force of 1,500 men near Shanghai.
Liu Quande got in touch with them when he was in Zhoushan, and agreed that after arriving in Shanghai, Liu Quande would provide funds, and this latent force would provide cover, attack the east and west, and cooperate with Liu Quande to complete the assassination mission.
In addition, on the basis of Liu Quande's confession and information obtained from other sources, the public security department arrested all 19 spies, including An Pinggui and Ouyang Qin. In 1950, the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau, in accordance with the instructions of the Ministry of Public Security and the deputy division commander of Shanghai, Pan Hannian, escorted Liu Quande to the Ministry of Public Security.
Soon after, Liu Quande was sentenced to death and immediately executed. Other spies involved in the assassination, such as An Pinggui and Qiu Ming, were also executed in Shanghai.
