The story takes place at noon in the early winter of 1949, a young man of about 30 years old, with eyes like an eagle and a sharp insight into everything, stepped out of an ordinary jeep and walked straight into the gate of the Qinzheng Hall in Zhongnanhai.
When Xiong Xianghui had just arrived, he saw a familiar figure. He immediately stepped forward and sincerely apologized: "Prime Minister, I'm sorry I'm late. * patted him on the shoulder, said it was okay, and led him to the palace of diligence.
However, the KMT dignitaries were very surprised when they saw his appearance, and former Defense Minister Liu Fei even asked in a lost voice: "Why are you here?" So, who is this person exactly?
He was Hu Zongnan's most trusted confidential secretary, and Chiang Ching-kuo personally served as a witness to the wedding held in Nanjing. Because of his existence, Chiang Kai-shek's"Blitz"The Yan'an plan ended in failure; At the same time, he also provided a lot of intelligence for the People's Liberation Army, and was known as a secret that could reach 100,000 soldiers.
Xiong Xianghui, a student at Tsinghua University, was influenced by Jiang Nanxiang to join the Chinese Communist Party and devoted himself to underground activities while in school. However, instructions came from the organization, asking him not to reveal his party membership, to sign up for the Hunan Youth Field Service Corps, and to serve in the southern part of Hu Zong, the first army of the Kuomintang.
Xiong Xianghui obeyed the organization's arrangement, signed up for the customs clearance field service group, and prepared to go to the south of Huzong. On the way to the mission, he heard that *** was going to give a speech at Wuhan University, so he also took the time to go there.
Xiong Xianghui was deeply inspired by the heroic posture of *** speech, and his words were full of emotion, confidence and strength. In January 1938, Hu Zongnan met with the members of the Service Corps.
He held the roster, called out everyone's name one by one, and said to everyone who was called, "Sir." According to the rules, everyone had to stand up and say "yes," then answer Hu Zongnan's questions before sitting down.
After asking, Hu Zongnan would draw a circle under the name of the person who was called, one to indicate that the impression was average, and two to express satisfaction. When it was Xiong Xianghui's turn, Hu Zongnan asked him, "Why did you join our army?" ”
Xiong Xianghui replied without hesitation: "In order to participate in the revolution." Hu Zongnan then asked, "What is a real revolution?" Xiong Xianghui replied after thinking carefully: "Revolution is to liberate the people and let them live a better life." ”
Taking the initiative to participate in the anti-Japanese struggle is a real revolution, and passive participation is a false revolution. Xiong Xianghui replied calmly. "What if you participate passively? Hu Zongnan pressed forward step by step.
It must be punished severely. Xiong Xianghui's eyes were firm. After listening to this, Hu Zongnan asked Xiong Xianghui to sit down, marked something on the roster, and asked about the other members of the service group. Later, Xiong Xianghui learned that Hu Zongnan only drew one circle under other people's names, but his name was circled four times.
Xiong Xianghui was arranged by Hu Zongnan's side and was appreciated by Hu Zongnan. Hu Zongnan did not know that this young man was actually a loyal Communist Party member.
In May 1938, Hu Zongnan went to Fengxiang and had a special conversation with Xiong Xianghui, and he revealed his willingness to promote Xiong Xianghui. According to Hu Zongnan's arrangement, Xiong Xianghui went to study at the Army Military Academy and became "a member of the Whampoa family." ”
After 10 months of study, Xiong Xianghui graduated from the military academy, Hu Zongnan found him and said to him: "The situation is much more complicated now than in the past, and I need an assistant who can understand both military and politics, so I decided to make you a confidential secretary, what do you think about this?" ”
Xiong Xianghui was recommended as the best candidate to approach Hu Zongnan, but he surprisingly refused, saying that he was too young and that he had not worked with Hu Zongnan for long, which could cause unnecessary discussion and adversely affect Hu Zongnan.
Although he made it clear that he was not up to the task, in Hu Zongnan's view, Xiong Xianghui's consideration deeply moved him, Hu Zongnan said: "I have made a decision, who dares to question it? ”
Therefore, Xiong Xianghui, who had just graduated from the military academy, became Hu Zongnan's cronies.
In the face of Chiang Kai-shek's blockade of the Red Army and Hu Zongnan's restriction of the CCP in northern Shaanxi, he adopted a countermeasure. He used Xiong Xianghui, a hidden agent, to start a "special mission" on the secret front in order to disrupt Chiang Kai-shek's plans and successfully return to the team.
At this time, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression had entered the final stage, and Chiang Kai-shek formulated a plan for a "blitzkrieg" attack on Yan'an, and Hu Zongnan, as his close confidant, immediately carried out the order and commanded the three group armies to prepare for the attack on the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area.
Hu Zongnan is actively preparing for war and is preparing to complete the deployment for capturing the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region by the end of June. At this time, the Comintern proposed its dissolution, which made Chiang Kai-shek even more arrogant.
However, Hu Zongnan trusted his assistant Xiong Xianghui and told him the details of the deployment of the capture. Xiong Xianghui immediately handed over this information to *** and **. He ** immediately came up with a countermeasure and caught Hu Zongnan off guard.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek tried to monopolize China, ostensibly advocating "peace talks", but in fact he constantly launched attacks on the liberated areas, and secretly ordered Hu Zongnan to destroy the *** army in five days.
At this time, Xiong Xianghui, who was recommended by Hu Zongnan to study in the United States, obtained this information and immediately reported it to **, who quickly exposed the conspiracy and avoided a war.
Due to multiple intelligence leaks, Hu Zongnan began to be suspicious of the people around him, and the sensitive Xiong Xianghui realized that he had to leave Hu Zongnan as soon as possible, otherwise his life would be in danger.
After Xiong Xianghui was greatly injured by Hu Zongnan and no longer doubted the people around him, he took advantage of this opportunity to speed up the pace of going to the United States. Xiong Xianghui first studied at the University of Michigan and then received a scholarship from Westridge University in Ohio, where he transferred for further study.
At the beginning of 1949, he obtained a master's degree, and after the liberation of Nanjing, he arrived in Beiping by plane and was received by leading comrades.
Xiong Xianghui, a student at Tsinghua University, joined the party in 1936 and was sent to Hu Zongnan by Prime Minister. When he appeared at the banquet of the prime minister, former Kuomintang members Zhang Zhizhong, Shao Lizi, Liu Fei and others were surprised, and some even asked his identity silently.
**The Prime Minister laughed and introduced him as a "returnee" rather than an uprising, much to the confusion of those present. But when the prime minister sat down slowly, beckoned the waiter to serve the food, and reintroduced Xiong Xianghui's identity to everyone, the Kuomintang was shocked, and Liu Fei even said: "No wonder Hu Zongnan lost the battle!" ”
Everyone laughed.
Xiong Xianghui: Red life, the pillar of the foreign affairs front. In 1970, he was appointed Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army, studying the international situation. In 2005, Xiong Xianghui died of illness in Beijing at the age of 86.
