On January 8, 1976, the news that shocked the whole country came that the prime minister died of illness at the age of 78. When the bad news came, ** was deeply regretted and grief-stricken, and sat on the chair for a long time unable to come back to his senses.
However, ** soon regained his composure and began to handle the affairs of the prime minister, showing endless loyalty and deep friendship.
On January 10, ** bid farewell to ***'s body in Beijing Hospital, and on January 15, he attended the *** memorial service with a heavy heart. After the matter is over, Ye Shuai's residence ushers in an old man."
This person was in a hurry, and when he saw Ye Shuai, he asked solemnly: "Are the people around you reliable?" "Who is he? Why would Ye Shuai ask such a question? broke into Hu Zongnan's interior and became his "confidant", the famous "Hou Sanjie" of the CCP's hidden front, Chen Zhongjing, Xiong Xianghui, and Shen Jian, who were deeply trusted and respected by Dong Biwu, and were spy personnel personally led by the two.
In 1936, Xiong Xianghui was admitted to Tsinghua University because of his outstanding achievements, and at the same time, he joined the "Chinese National Liberation Vanguard", and soon became one of the leaders of the Tsinghua detachment because of his positive thoughts and excellent performance.
In December of the same year, Xiong Xianghui secretly joined the Chinese Communist Party. After the July 7 Incident, in order to ensure the safety of the students, they were evacuated to Changsha, Hunan. At the end of the year, Changsha planned to organize a "Youth Field Service Corps" to serve in the southern part of Hu Zong, the First Army of the Kuomintang.
**After receiving the news, he thought that this was a good opportunity to break into the Kuomintang, so he entrusted Jiang Nanxiang to recommend a secret party member to sign up, and Jiang Nanxiang recommended Xiong Xianghui.
It's good, you win his favor first, and then step by step become his right-hand man, and then everything will be easy. ”
Dong Biwu conveyed his opinion to Xiong Xianghui, and he said that Comrade Enlai believed that Xiong Xianghui's ability would be appreciated by Hu Zongnan. For this reason, Comrade Enlai specially instructed Dong Biwu before leaving, reminding Xiong Xianghui that he needed to pay attention to the following points: First, he must get rid of his impatience.
The most taboo thing for personnel working on the hidden front is impatience, and they must be quiet, like an "idle chess player."
1.Dong Biwu put forward three important suggestions to Xiong Xianghui: First, unless necessary, don't take the initiative to find an organization, so as to avoid letting Hu Zongnan find clues. Secondly, be sure to hide your true identity, do not engage in the work of the service group, and do not need to develop downline.
Finally, in working within the Kuomintang, it is necessary to maintain an attitude of preferring arrogance rather than humility. 2.Dong Biwu warned Xiong Xianghui that if he didn't enter the tiger's den, he would get the tiger. We must keep these eight words in mind, always be vigilant, and don't let Hu Zongnan find any flaws.
Don't take the initiative to find the organization, unless the organization takes the initiative to find you; Do not leave Hu Zongnan's troops at will, so as not to arouse suspicion. At the same time, do not reveal your true identity to avoid being discovered by your enemies.
3.Dong Biwu reminded Xiong Xianghui that before joining the Kuomintang, he should maintain a patriotic stance. If you find that Hu Zongnan has the possibility of "**", you must be consistent on the surface, even if you are misunderstood by friends, don't explain.
When working within the Kuomintang, it is necessary to remain modest and incorruptible, but also to avoid being too humble so as not to be discovered by the enemy. 4.Dong Biwu's three suggestions to Xiong Xianghui were all aimed at ensuring his safety and allowing him to successfully penetrate the KMT and gather intelligence.
He hoped that Xiong Xianghui would remember these suggestions and strictly implement them. In the end, he gave Xiong Xianghui eight words: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger." "This is the greatest expectation and encouragement for him.
In the process of crushing the third "** climax" of the Kuomintang, Xiong Xianghui played an important role. In May 1938, he was sent by Hu Zongnan to study at the Seventh Branch of the ** Army Military Academy, and then graduated in March 1939 and was appointed Hu Zongnan's attendant adjutant and confidential secretary.
This special identity and conditions gave Xiong Xianghui the opportunity to get in touch with the core secrets of the KMT's top leadership and master a lot of valuable information. However, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, due to Hu Zongnan's relatively positive anti-Japanese attitude, Xiong Xianghui's role as a "chess piece" has not been fully utilized.
It wasn't until 1943 that he had a real chance to make a difference.
In May 1943, the Comintern was formally dissolved. When Chiang Kai-shek saw this opportunity, he immediately sent a secret order to Hu Zongnan: "For many years, we have been in fierce competition with the Communist Party, and we have always won or lost.
The dissolution of the Comintern was a major blow to the Communist Party. We should seize this opportunity to quickly raid Yan'an and occupy the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region in one fell swoop. Be sure to complete the deployment by the end of June, and remember, the operation must be kept secret and not let a third person know! ”
However, due to Hu Zongnan's trust in Xiong Xianghui, Xiong Xianghui sent and received all telegrams, and Xiong Xianghui learned the news earlier than Hu Zongnan. Xiong Xianghui wanted to report immediately, but considering that Hu Zongnan's deployment had not yet been formulated, he decided to wait until the deployment was completed to report together.
On July 2, Hu Zongnan issued an order to attack Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo on July 9 in accordance with the "Operational Plan for Northern Shaanxi" personally approved by Chiang Kai-shek. In order to ensure the success of the campaign, Hu Zongnan secretly deployed, but what he didn't expect was that the news was revealed to a reliable person by his "confidant" Xiong Xianghui and quickly sent to Yan'an.
After receiving the information, ** was taken aback and immediately organized a meeting to discuss the response strategy. The Chief of Staff of the Military Commission proposed that the only thing we can do is to use "leaks" to change the situation.
Due to the anti-Japanese resistance on the front line, there were only 30,000 or 40,000 troops in the Yan'an area, and there was a huge disparity between the enemy and us, and we had almost no chance of winning a hard battle. But if you can expose the intelligence of the enemy army and use the ** to balance Chiang Kai-shek, you may be able to win the victory in an unexpected way, because what Chiang Kai-shek is most afraid of is **pressure.
After weighing the pros and cons, senior leaders such as ** and ** adopted ***'s advice. This decision proved correct in the face of reality, and in the face of ** pressure, Chiang Kai-shek was forced to abandon the offensive.
This contest fully demonstrated the gap between *** and Chiang Kai-shek in wisdom, courage and judgment. On July 10, 1943, ** was invited to a reception held by Hu Zongnan, and took the opportunity to talk secretly with Xiong Xianghui for 1 quarter of an hour.
Before leaving, it is emphasized that we should pay attention to strategic dynamics, grasp the key points, and ensure the safety of ***. There will be a lot of work within the Kuomintang, and it is necessary to remain loyal and vigilant against the enemy.
In a telegram to Zhou Zijian, director of the Eighth Route Army office in Xi'an, ** specifically mentioned one thing. He said that because Xiong Xianghui had provided information about Chiang Kai-shek and Hu Zongnan's plot to attack Yan'an, Yan'an was able to avoid danger.
This incident had already attracted the attention and interference of ambassadors of various countries, forcing Chiang Kai-shek to change his plans. Therefore, ** highly praised the importance of this intelligence work in crushing the third "** climax of the Kuomintang."
Xiong Xianghui's contribution cannot be ignored.
After passing away, Xiong Xianghui asked*** Are the comrades around you trustworthy? Xiong Xianghui not only gained the trust of Hu Zongnan, but also Chiang Ching-kuo, Chiang Kai-shek's eldest son.
When Xiong Xianghui held a wedding in 1947, it was Chiang Ching-kuo who served as a witness. In addition, Hu Zongnan also plans to send Xiong Xianghui to study in the United States. Xiong Xianghui couldn't make up his mind, so he could only tell *** about it
**Immediate reply: "Go!" If we don't go, we won't go in vain, and besides, the Kuomintang still spends money to train talents for us. Now that the situation of the Kuomintang on the battlefield is getting worse and worse, there should be no more major actions, and you can rest assured to learn! ”
1.After three months of companionship, Xiong Xianghui once again won glory for the country. Hu Zongnan approached Xiong Xianghui and handed him a document packet containing the specific arrangements for the attack on Yan'an and the deployment of the communist army in northern Shaanxi.
On the evening of March 3, Xiong Xianghui sent the information to the home of Wang Shijian, the editor-in-chief of "Xintai**", and reported this information to *** through the radio Because of reliable information, Hu Zongnan failed to "deal a devastating blow" to our army, but only occupied an empty city.
2.Xiong Xianghui, this intelligence officer, used his wisdom and courage to sabotage Chiang Kai-shek's conspiracy. Hu Zongnan approached Xiong Xianghui and handed him a document packet containing the specific arrangements for the attack on Yan'an and the deployment of the communist army in northern Shaanxi.
Xiong Xianghui sent the information to the home of Wang Shijian, the editor-in-chief of "Xintai**", and reported this information to *** through the radio Because of reliable information, Hu Zongnan failed to "deal a devastating blow" to our army, but only occupied an empty city.
In May 1945, Xiong Xianghui received instructions from Hu Zongnan to go to the United States for further study; In July, our party's intelligence network in the north was sabotaged by the enemy, Wang Shijian and others.
After investigation, the military commander found that Xiong Xianghui was an underground member of the Communist Party of China, so Hu Zongnan was extremely angry and intended to get rid of him as soon as possible, but because Xiong Xianghui was overseas, Hu Zongnan could not implement it.
At the end of April 1949, Xiong Xianghui returned to China and met with *** in July. As soon as I saw Xiong Xianghui, I held his hand tightly and said, "We finally met after the victory, and your intelligence work in Xi'an was very successful!" ”
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xiong Xianghui was appointed deputy director of the Information Department and deputy director of the Second Department of the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army. On many diplomatic occasions, he appeared as an assistant to ***.
For example, in April 1954, when he led a delegation to the Geneva Conference, Xiong Xianghui accompanied him as a press liaison officer.
On July 9, 1971, Nixon sent Kissinger on a secret visit to Beijing. At this important historical moment, Xiong Xianghui participated in the talks as an assistant to the first.
Under his leadership, Xiong Xianghui has made a lot of concrete efforts and made important contributions to the success of the Sino-US talks. Xiong Xianghui has a deep sense of gratitude to ***.
His daughter once asked him: "* has the grace of knowing you, but Hu Zongnan is also good to you, why didn't you choose Hu Zongnan, but chose to continue to follow?" ”
Xiong Xianghui replied lightly: "My faith has never wavered. On the one hand, I have always believed in communism; On the other hand, I think Hu Zongnan's personality charm is still far from ...... premier”
On January 8, 1976, ** unfortunately passed away, and the bad news came, Xiong Xianghui was deeply saddened and unable to help himself. After adjusting his mood a little, he immediately went to visit *** and asked the opening sentence: "Can the people around you be trusted?" ”
**Expressing understanding of Xiong Xianghui's worries and ensuring that he is surrounded by trustworthy people makes Xiong Xianghui feel at ease.
