The military commander was arrested, and Chairman Mao said with a smile that he would let him fly

Mondo History Updated on 2024-02-22

Who was the criminal who made the Founding Fathers so seriously? Who is the snitch who makes *** can't help but ridicule to "let him fly and see"? Today, let's walk into the world of Duan Yunpeng, the "big spy", "big snitch", and "raccoon cat".

Title: The Counterattack Road of a Peasant Boy Duan Yunpeng, a farmer born in the old society, was born in a rural family in Ji County, Hebei Province.

He, like most of the other toiling people, came from a poor family that could not afford to send him to school. Xiao Duan Yunpeng is the fourth oldest in the family, and has been responsible for watering, fertilizing, herding cattle and sheep since he was a child.

However, instead of resting on his laurels like the rest of his siblings, he decided to change his life. When Duan Yunpeng was in his teens, he was tired of the daily repetition of farm work.

So, he decided to run away from home and look for a new path in life. He joined Cao Kun's army and became a "soldier ruffian". During this period, warlords from all over the country were fighting, and all the "princes" were desperately recruiting troops, and Duan Yunpeng took this opportunity to emerge.

In the following days, Duan Yunpeng gradually rose to prominence among the warlords with his ingenuity and courage. He won praise from top to bottom for his superb military skills and resourceful strategy.

The legendary story of Duan Yunpeng allows us to see the counterattack of an ordinary farmer, and also allows us to see the turbulent social background of that era.

In contrast to the disciplined and well-organized People's Liberation Army, the warlord armies of the old era were not much different from the gangsters. Pornography, gambling and drugs were rampant in the troops, and fights and disputes among soldiers were commonplace.

In the matter of fighting, Duan Yunpeng can be called an "invincible opponent". With years of training, Duan Yunpeng, who joined the army, has become stronger and stronger, and has accumulated rich "combat skills" in the perennial "actual combat".

At that time, there were frequent wars in the country, and Duan Yunpeng took this opportunity to accumulate a lot of military merits. It didn't take long for him to be promoted to captain and adjutant, but Duan Yunpeng was not able to continue his service in the army.

Due to the bad habits accumulated over the years, he was full of enemies in the army, and his own situation became increasingly dangerous, and he was finally forced to leave the army and began to wander around Beijing and Tianjin to survive.

Without a salary, Duan Yunpeng's life was extremely difficult, and he often had no food and no clothes. In order to survive, he had to embark on the criminal path of theft and robbery.

Duan Yunpeng was once "famous" for being ruthless and running away. Later, he worshiped under the door of the thief "Swallow Li San", and learned the kung fu of flying eaves and walls, and there was one less hooligan and one more "snitch" in the Beijing-Tianjin area.

He has "patronized" a number of large shops, and even foreign embassies have become his target for theft, hence nicknames such as "Raccoon Cat" and "Big Snitch".

However, Duan Yunpeng's crimes were too frequent, resulting in him being captured alive many times and then imprisoned. It was not until 1945 that he was imprisoned for the 12th time. It was this imprisonment that completely changed his fate for the next ten years.

After the end of the war, the Kuomintang took over the important cities of Tianjin and Beiping. For the various departments that suffered heavy losses in the war, recruiting and replenishing the ranks became the top priority.

This is true even of the notorious military commanders. It is said that Ma Hansan, the head of Beiping Station, was very interested when he learned that there were people in prison who were good at flying eaves and walking walls.

He personally went to the prison to meet Duan Yunpeng, and after inspecting him, Ma Hansan took the initiative to invite him to join the military command. At that time, Yun Peng had no power and power, and he was in prison.

In the face of Ma Hansan's invitation, he readily agreed without hesitation. Unlike other intelligence officers with formal training, Duan Yunpeng joined the military command as a "special person", so the tasks given to him by his superiors were mainly "special tasks".

In 1946, at the critical moment of the negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, in order to find out the bottom line of our party, the Kuomintang sent Duan Yunpeng, who "tried to steal important documents from Teng Daiyuan's residence."

However, our strict security measures prevented Duan Yunpeng from succeeding. In 1947, when a full-scale civil war broke out between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Ma Hansan once again used Duan Yunpeng to use his "expertise" to assist in finding our intelligence team.

This time, Duan Yunpeng did not sit in front of the detection plane to listen to the signal, but became a "human reconnaissance plane," constantly roaming and observing the city of Beiping, providing the Kuomintang intelligence department with the scope of the search intelligence team.

However, due to technical constraints, the Kuomintang intelligence department could only narrow the range to a radius of 600 to 1 km. Although Duan Yunpeng provided intelligence to the Kuomintang, he was unable to obtain important documents of our party and frustrated the bottom line of our army's negotiations.

Duan Yunpeng became suspicious of the family's daily behavior, because he noticed that the family was listening to the radio at a fixed time every day, and the time of listening was exactly the same as the time when the unknown signal was being monitored.

As a result, the military commander concluded that the family might be involved in a major suspicion. Sure enough, in the ensuing search, Duan Yunpeng and others discovered two radio stations and arrested four of our intelligence officers.

As a result of this incident, our party and our army lost more than 40 martyrs of underground work, and paralyzed our intelligence network in the Beijing-Tianjin area. In addition to these special missions, Duan Yunpeng often performed some routine tasks, such as secret arrests and assassinations.

For example, in 1948, he learned that He Siyuan was involved in the Peiping peace talks, and that the Chiang Kai-shek clique intended to assassinate He Siyuan. So, Zheng Jiemin, the boss of the military command, ordered Duan Yunpeng to infiltrate He Mansion and plant a bomb.

In the end, the bomb**, although He Siyuan's life was not threatened, his daughter was unfortunately killed.

Duan Yunpeng gradually changed from a thief to a big spy with blood on his hands, and became a public enemy of the people. With the victory of the three major battles and the battle of crossing the river, the rule of the Kuomintang reactionaries in old China completely collapsed, and Duan Yunpeng fled to the island of Taiwan to make a living, and settled his family in a village and town around Taipei City, where he lived an ordinary life under Zhang Ren's new identity.

But in reality, he had been working in Chiang's intelligence department, the Secrecy Bureau. Due to the fact that the capable officers and generals of the former military command and the central command were generally lost in the Liberation War, the Secret Bureau, which was short of manpower, had to use Duan Yunpeng, who had become a monk halfway.

In the summer of 1949, Duan Yunpeng was ordered to secretly infiltrate the mainland to carry out enemy special activities.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to the fact that the political power had not yet been stabilized and the people's minds were in turmoil, some disgruntled people hid among the people and tried to sabotage the new regime.

Among them, after Duan Yunpeng sneaked back to the mainland through Hong Kong channels, he immediately returned to the Beijing-Tianjin area, where he had been active for a long time, intending to recruit talents and organize rebellions. Relying on the network of contacts accumulated over the years in North China, Duan Yunpeng quickly recruited a group of outlaws and established an intelligence network in the Beijing-Tianjin region.

At its peak, Duan Yunpeng had more than 20 members of the enemy special team, and there were more than 50 peripheral personnel responsible for collecting intelligence. Duan Yunpeng divided these personnel into the "Beiping Action Group," the "Tianjin Special Group," and the "Intelligence Assassination Group," and these former gangsters, traitors, puppet soldiers, and thieves and robbers caused a lot of turmoil in the heart of New China.

With his excellent climbing skills and in-depth understanding of the Beijing-Tianjin region, Duan Yunpeng successfully infiltrated the stations of important departments many times, and obtained a lot of key information about the organizational structure of the new Chinese regime.

Even, through the intelligence network, he discovered some secrets inside Zhongnanhai, and thus learned the residence and whereabouts of important leaders, including ***.

This information facilitated the movement of enemy elements and posed a serious threat to the nascent regime. In addition, Duan Yunpeng's gang also illegally manufactured guns and explosives and carried out premeditated sabotage activities, seriously disrupting the social stability of New China.

Due to the long-term war, a large number of guns and ammunition were scattered among the people, and the management of dangerous goods was not as strict as it is now, which facilitated the activities of Duan Yunpeng's gang.

Between 1949 and 1950, the criminal activities of Duan Yunpeng's gang became more and more aggressive. They collected a large number of guns and made 12 bombs, which began organized sabotage.

Among them, Duan Yunpeng personally commanded his subordinates to blow up a car in Tianjin, which caused a lot of panic in the local area. Not only that, but they also planned to assassinate the founding leaders and democrats, but the tight surveillance of the public security department prevented their plot from succeeding.

In the face of the rampant behavior of Duan Yunpeng's gang, the public security department reacted quickly. They specially set up a "500 task force" to focus on monitoring and controlling Duan Yunpeng's past social circle to obtain key clues to solve the case.

After months of scouting, they have made some progress. Through the interrogation of former prison guard Mi Jingxuan, enemy special peripheral personnel Zhao Yousan, and drug dealer Wei Jinshan, ** learned about Duan Yunpeng's social circle and scope of activities.

After months of intense investigation, the task force has successfully located several hiding places for Duan Yunpeng and the backbone members of the criminal gang. During this period, a total of 50 criminals were arrested and many guns and explosives were seized.

Although there are a lot of small minions**, but"Big fish"Duan Yunpeng successfully escaped. It turned out that before the net set up by ** was completely laid, Duan Yunpeng had already sensed the danger from the subtle clues, and foresaw that the mainland was no longer a place to live for a long time, and if he did not evacuate as soon as possible, he was likely to fall into the legal net again.

Duan Yunpeng set off for Taiwan in late March and early April 1951 ahead of schedule and returned to Taiwan via Hong Kong. Due to the lack of intelligence, the public security department was unable to detect Duan Yunpeng's intentions in time.

It wasn't until the core members of the gang were captured that ** learned about Duan's plan to go south from the confession. Although the detectives mobilized manpower to the Luohu port as quickly as possible, it was too late, and they could only watch Duan Yunpeng leave.

Duan Yunpeng's escape under his nose was undoubtedly a blow to the public security department at that time. But for the Chiang Kai-shek clique, which had been defeated repeatedly, Duan Yunpeng's escape was undoubtedly a complete victory.

Although they have been lurking on the mainland for many years without achieving tangible results, their carefully trained spy personnel have still been wiped out. However, our warriors managed to escape back and leave in style under the watchful eyes of their "adversaries", marking the beginning of the Secret Service to turn the tide on the intelligence battlefield and plan a counterattack.

Under the jaw-dropping logic, Duan Yunpeng fled back from Taiwan in embarrassment, but became a big hero and a big celebrity in the Secret Bureau. He was even personally received by Chiang Kai-shek, promoted to major, and won the Yunlu Medal, which can only be received by the heroes of the Anti-Japanese War.

However, since Duan Yunpeng's identity had been exposed, it was not suitable for him to go to the mainland to lurk. After returning to Taiwan, he was mainly responsible for training new personnel for the Secret Service. However, another confrontation on the intelligence battlefield between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party changed Duan Yunpeng's fate.

In the autumn of 1953, the secret service of the Secrecy Bureau in Hong Kong was dealt a heavy blow by our Party's intelligence department. The personnel of the Secret Service have suffered huge losses, and they are not available. In this difficult period, Mao Renfeng, who was in charge of the Secret Bureau, thought of Duan Yunpeng.

Although Duan Yunpeng's identity was exposed, it was not appropriate to show his head in the mainland. But at this time, there was almost no one available in Mao Renfeng's hands. Therefore, Duan Yunpeng is an "old qualification" in the Secret Bureau, with the ability, ability, and ability to do things, which is a good choice to support the crisis.

Inspired by Mao Renfeng, Duan Yunpeng bid farewell to Taiwan again and embarked on a journey to sneak into the mainland. Duan Yunpeng knew that this trip to the mainland would be the beginning of a new "legendary journey", but he never expected that this mission would become the "last journey".

It turned out that after the last setback, the public security department has strengthened the monitoring of the Luohu port in Shenzhen, and the intelligence department has also invested a lot of manpower and material resources in Hong Kong to establish an intelligence network to protect the country.

Duan Yunpeng's ** has a close relationship with this intelligence network.

In August 1954, from the moment Duan Yunpeng set foot in Hong Kong, he was already under the close surveillance of our party's intelligence network. Whatever means are used, his actions are under the close control of **.

Even his contacts in Guangzhou were disguised by our intelligence officers. Under such close surveillance, he had no chance of resisting or escaping. Less than one night after entering the city of Guangzhou, he was arrested by the public security ** on the way to his residence.

At this point, Duan Yunpeng, the "raccoon cat" big snitch and big spy Duan Yunpeng, who has been crisscrossing Beijing and Tianjin for nearly 20 years, has finally been arrested. Social order and the safety of state leaders have been further ensured, and the public security officers in charge of Beijing and Tianjin have been relieved.

When the Minister of Public Security reported Duan Yunpeng's news to ***, in the face of this enemy agent who had threatened his life, ** humorously said, "Isn't he a snitch?"

Let him fly and see. ”

Although Duan Yunpeng's hands were stained with the blood of the people, the great man and New China did not impose the death penalty on him. On the contrary, after he confessed his crimes, the state gave him a chance to make meritorious contributions to his crimes, and let him continue to deceive Taiwan with false news for ten years.

However, in the end, because of his evil deeds, Duan Yunpeng was sentenced to death on October 11, 1967. If he hadn't gone astray, his fate might have been different.
