Dai Lia is not dead? Lie to Jiang? Reveal the truth about the death of the king of **
The plane the boss was on was lost, and the aviation committee was trying its best to find ......”
The "boss" in Mao Renfeng's mouth refers to Dai Li, the head of the military command. When the news came, Chiang Kai-shek immediately dialed the ** of the Aviation Committee, and after verification, as Mao Renfeng said, Dai Li had disappeared.
Dai Li was Chiang Kai-shek's right-hand man, and he was Chiang Kai-shek's important eye to control the Kuomintang.
Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Mao Renfeng to immediately send a general-level cadre, carrying a radio station and a doctor, to conduct a search by plane. If the plane is found, report the situation immediately, and if the plane cannot land, ask the paratroopers to parachute down to search.
Some people say that Dai Li's "cheating" was just to cover himself, so did he really leave? Is the disappeared No. 222 plane related to Dai Li's whereabouts?
On March 16, 1946, Dai Li, as the director of the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Kuomintang Military Commission, went on a business trip to Tianjin, accompanied by Gong Xianfang, director of the Personnel Department of the Military Control Bureau, and others.
After Dai Li learned the news of Du Yuming's hospitalization, he immediately left for Tianjin to visit, and then flew to Qingdao on a DC-47 military transport plane No. 222 with US assistance.
The aircraft is world-leading in terms of performance, all-weather flying, well-equipped navigation equipment, and is at the top of the world. Despite the unusual weather when the plane arrived in Qingdao, Dai Li did not take it seriously.
After meeting with the local ** in Qingdao, at half past eleven in the morning of the next day, Dai Li arrived at Qingdao Cangkou Airport. At this time, Qingdao is shrouded in dense fog, mixed with light rain, and visibility is extremely low, which is extremely dangerous to fly in this weather condition.
Therefore, the ** who came to see him off advised Dai Li to pause for a few days and set off when the weather improved.
Dai Li's itinerary has already been arranged, and it should not be changed lightly. He needs to go to Shanghai first to meet with his big star lover Butterfly, deal with relationship problems, and meet with his old friend, Du Yuesheng, the boss of the Qinggang.
He also planned to go to Nanjing to find He Yingqin, who was about to visit the United States, and hoped that He Yingqin would urge the United States to provide military assistance and help him be promoted to commander of the Navy when he went abroad for an inspection trip. Finally, Dai Li had to return to Chongqing by the 18th, so his schedule was very tight and he couldn't waste time here.
Airport staff reported that the weather in Shanghai was bad and it might not be possible to land, but the weather in Nanjing was good and it was possible to land normally. Dai Li, who was full of confidence in the US plane, did not worry about the weather and got on the plane without hesitation.
Dai Li thought that if he could not land in Shanghai, he would not hesitate to turn to Nanjing, put his personal emotions aside for the time being, and focus on national affairs. Therefore, he asked the crew to fill up the plane with fuel in case it was impossible to land at the Shanghai airport to fly to Nanjing.
As the crew recounted, the sky over Shanghai was overcast, thunder and lightning were frequent. After the plane flew over Shanghai, it could not land due to heavy rain, so it had to turn west and fly to Nanjing.
However, the weather conditions were changeable, and when he set off from Qingdao, the sky was still clear in Nanjing, but when the plane flew over Nanjing, there were sudden thundershowers in Nanjing, thick clouds, and extremely low visibility, which even American military transport planes might not be able to cope with.
In this case, Dai Li's No. 222 transport plane requested to land at Nanjing Airport, but Nanjing Airport refused many times, and in desperation, it had no choice but to allow the plane to land.
At 1:06 p.m. on March 17, news of landing permission came from Nanjing. Transport Plane No. 222 received and said that it had received it, and this was the last communication between Nanjing Airport and Transport Plane No. 222.
However, unexpectedly, the No. 222 military transport plane, which was supposed to land in the afternoon, mysteriously disappeared at this time, losing all news. At this time, the Shanghai office and military command personnel who were scheduled to pick up the plane in Shanghai were still waiting at the airport, and they did not know that the plane had flown to Nanjing and then disappeared.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, both Nanjing and Shanghai sent telegrams to ask Chongqing, asking if Dai Li had transferred to other places. However, Mao Renfeng, who stayed behind at the Chongqing Military Command Headquarters, did not receive news from Dai Li, and did not know anything about the disappearance of the plane.
Dai Li's disappearance caused a huge shock, both in Shanghai and within the Kuomintang. His connections and influence are so great that people dare not imagine his sudden disappearance.
People searched for his traces at the airport, and US warplanes searched for his whereabouts, but the results never appeared. After Mao Renfeng reported to Chiang Kai-shek, the entire military headquarters was shaken.
Dai Li's one hand covers the sky in the military command, his slogan"The group is the family, and the comrades are like siblings", so that many people are willing to die for him. His loss of contact was like dropping a bomb within the military command, and it made those who looked up to him feel unprecedented pressure.
Suddenly, morale within the military command was low, and the people were panicked.
At the same time, the U.S. Air Force, the Kuomintang Aviation Committee, and the Military Command were all looking for the missing No. 222 transport plane, but they could not find it. As the head of the military command, Dai Li's death made the Kuomintang very nervous.
Although he followed Chiang Kai-shek's instructions, the military command became almost his own control, which made Chiang Kai-shek very worried about the military command being controlled by others.
Chiang Kai-shek didn't pay much attention to Dai Li's plane crash, he was more worried about Dai Li's defection. Dai Li, who had a large number of Kuomintang secrets in his hands, would become the biggest traitor in the history of the Kuomintang if the plane crashed in a communist-controlled area and Dai Li defected to the Communists.
Therefore, after Chiang Kai-shek learned the news of Dai Li's disappearance, he asked Mao Renfeng to send people to the communist area to look for him. His purpose was not to find, but to confirm that Dai Lia was still alive, and if so, to bring it back.
After Mao Renfeng returned to the military headquarters, he immediately announced Chiang Kai-shek's order. At this time, the director of the General Affairs Department, Shen Zui, an officer with the rank of major general, took the initiative to stand up and expressed his willingness to look for Director Dai.
Before Shen drunk before leaving, Chiang Kai-shek handed him a "warrant from the chairman of the National Military Commission", which emphasized that "no one is allowed to do any harm to Dai Li, and all military and political organs and localities need to protect Dai Li and ensure that he leaves the Kuomintang area safely."
Dai Li is the director of the Military Control Bureau, and no one in the national control area will attack him lightly. This was obviously to show the Communist Party in the liberated areas. However, before Shen Zui and the others set off, the clues of the plane had already been found.
On the evening of March 19, Liu Qirui, director of the Nanjing office, contacted Chongqing to say that they had found a crashed military plane in the suburbs of Nanjing, most likely the No. 222 transport plane in which Dai Li was flying.
After receiving the instructions, Liu Qirui and Mao Renfeng immediately took action and personally went to the mountains near Nanjing to look for the missing plane. Although the ground was muddy after the rain and the mountain roads were impassable, they still kept going.
When they arrived at Banqiao Town, Jiangning, Nanjing, covered in mud and water, cold and tired, almost everyone was exhausted, but they did not give up and continued to search. In the end, they got the news of the local district office, and the plane crashed into the nearby Daishan Mountain, and it was ** on the spot.
The staff also found a pistol and a stamp found at the scene. Adjutant Dai Li, who saw the pistol, cried bitterly, because it was the pistol of their "boss", and the stamp belonged to Gong Xianfang, who was traveling with Dai Li.
Their tenacity and perseverance allowed them to find the lost plane.
Dai Li's reputation as a veteran of many battles is said to have been assassinated more than 180 times, but each time he managed to escape. His whereabouts are so mysterious that he was named one of the most mysterious figures in modern Chinese history by the American magazine "Clyles".
However, his ending is unexpected, dying in a plane crash, which makes people sigh at the impermanence and irony of life. Halfway up the mountain in Daishan, people found the wreckage of the plane and a shrunken "black carbon rod", judging from the gold teeth and clothing fragments left on the "stick", this is Dai Li's remains.
Hearing the news of Dai Li's death, Chiang Kai-shek was saddened but also relieved. As long as Dai Li does not fall into the hands of the Communist Party, then everything is fine. Dai Li's departure, although he lost one of his "eyes", also ensured the clarity of the other "eye", and from then on, he no longer had to worry about someone monopolizing the military and posing a threat to him.
After Dai Li's death, Chiang Kai-shek also sent a pair of elegiac couplets to express his affirmation of his past work. At this point, Dai Li's death seems to have settled, after all, even the body has been found, what is there to be sure?
However, some people have questioned that only a few gold teeth and fragments of clothes do not prove that the charred "black carbon rod" is Dai Li, and Dai Li may not have been on the plane, and the plane crash may have been a means for him to "cheat death".
The questioning of Dai Li's funeral makes people wonder if he was really on the plane? If he wasn't on the plane, then he went**? Considering the contents of Chiang Kai-shek's warrant after Dai Li's disappearance, this cannot help but give rise to all kinds of reverie.
Some people think that Dai Li may have "cheated his death", and the truth may lie in his relationship with Chiang Kai-shek before his death. Dai Li once revealed to Shen Zui that he would not die at the hands of the Communist Party, but he might die at the hands of the chairman.
This is because the Military Command Bureau is an important secret service organ of the Kuomintang, which involves a large amount of secrets, and it can be said that it is the weakness of the Kuomintang. As the director of the Military Command Bureau, Dai Li has a large number of secrets, and once they are leaked, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Therefore, the possibility of Dai Li's "fraudulent death" is not non-existent.
Chiang Kai-shek was both trusting and wary of Dai Li, and he wanted to use military command to control the Kuomintang and obtain enemy intelligence, but he feared that Dai Li would turn against him. Even if the enemy spared Dai Li, Chiang Kai-shek would eventually get rid of him.
Before the plane accident, Dai Li revealed to Kuomintang General Zheng Jiemin all the circumstances of the military command, including internal affairs. But Zheng Jiemin is not an insider of the military command, and he told Dai Li that he did not want to know about this.
However, Dai Li insisted that he be in control of the military command. Zheng Jiemin felt that something was wrong, because Dai Li's words seemed to hint at his fate. Under Zheng Jiemin's questioning, Dai Li revealed that he planned to go abroad for an investigation, and then hand over the military command to others, so he revealed this information to him.
Why did Dai Li choose to go abroad for investigation in the post of director of the Military Command Bureau? Presumably, it may be related to the breakdown of his lover's relationship in Shanghai, and it is unlikely that he eloped with the money.
At the same time, he is pushing for U.S. assistance in the Navy to take up higher positions in the military. However, there was no clear reason for his expedition abroad.
In addition, Dai Li's Military Command Bureau developed rapidly during the Anti-Japanese War, posing a threat to the KMT. Therefore, before Dai Li's accident, Chiang Kai-shek had already begun to plan to reorganize the military command in order to weaken Dai Li's power.
Dai Li's situation seems to be in jeopardy, is there some hint that he used the excuse of "going abroad for investigation" and revealed the internal situation of the military command to Zheng Jiemin? If Dai Li is indeed aware of it, then it is not impossible for him to withdraw from the crisis with the strategy of "golden cicada shelling".
Therefore, some speculated that Chiang Kai-shek had the intention of killing Dai Li, and Dai Li learned of this in advance and arranged for a stand-in to be exchanged at the airport. However, this conjecture is difficult to hold.
Dai Li's position did make Chiang Kai-shek feel threatened, and the idea of weakening him was born, but it did not reach the point of killing him.
Chiang Kai-shek was placed under house arrest by Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng during the Xi'an Incident and sent abroad for investigation, and He Yingqin even had the idea of rebellion, but Chiang Kai-shek did not pursue it.
In addition, the Kuomintang general Wei Lihuang was suspected of "colluding with the Communists", and Chiang Kai-shek did not kill him. Dai Li's position made Chiang Kai-shek feel threatened, but in fact Dai Li was very obedient under Chiang Kai-shek.
Moreover, on the eve of the Kuomintang-Communist war, Chiang Kai-shek needed Dai Li's intelligence support and contacts with the American side, and he would not kill Dai Li unless he wanted to cut himself off.
Therefore, the claim that Chiang Kai-shek assassinated Dai Li is not valid, and the claim that Dai Li died by fraud is even more absurd.
According to the memoirs of Shen Zui's later years, we can learn about some of the things that happened during the flight of the No. 222 transport plane that Dai Li was riding. According to Shen Zui, the pilot of the plane in which Dai Li was flying at that time was temporarily replaced, and a pilot named Feng Junzhong in Beiping bribed others to change his shift in order to take advantage of the opportunity to resell foreign exchange.
However, Feng Junzhong's flying skills are very poor, and his performance in the Guangdong Air Force training has always been near the passing line, and he is okay for flying ordinary aircraft, but he is not able to fly advanced transport planes produced in the United States.
If the weather was normal, Feng Junzhong should be able to safely transport Dai Li to Shanghai or Nanjing, but unfortunately, they encountered wind and rain during the flight, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of piloting.
When Feng Junzhong flew his plane to Nanjing, he encountered heavy clouds. Due to the rapid descent, he was unable to control the plane, which resulted in the plane crashing into the ground. After the plane scraped against the trees on the ground, Feng Junzhong tried to pull up the plane, but in extremely low visibility, the plane tumbled over the mountainside, eventually causing the plane to crash and kill people.
As the "king of the best", Dai Li has experienced more than 180 flights but is safe and sound. However, this time he was killed in a plane crash, which was difficult for many to accept.
In this regard, people have raised various speculations, including the assassination of Chiang Kai-shek, the assassination of Mahansan, and the American bomb. However, none of these speculations are supported by sufficient evidence, as is the case with the Chiang Kai-shek assassination theory, which lacks substantial evidence.
Judging from the scene of the air crash, the gold teeth on Dai Li's body, the fallen pistol, and the fragments of his clothes are clear evidence of his death. He did not die in any conspiracy, but just an ordinary pilot who had an accident while on a mission.
However, Dai Li's death did not come without warning. Even before the plane crash, he had mentioned the possible danger, and his aides had tried to dissuade him, but Dai Lisa insisted on continuing the mission.
While the cause of Dai Li's death has been clarified, his mystery and influence will endure.
** once commented on Dai Li's death: "Dai Li's death means that the revolutionary process of the Communist Party of China can be advanced by ten years. This is because in the War of Resistance Against Japan, although Dai Li contributed to the country by sending assassins to assassinate traitors such as Zhang Jingyao and Gao Yuebao, he also killed countless communists with his own hands and became the main culprit hindering the development of the revolution.
Therefore, Dai Li's death was self-inflicted, and his death in a plane crash may be God's forgiveness for his crimes.
