"What are you?" Who made you get in the car? In March 1947, after receiving Du Yuming's combat orders, Shi Jue, the commander of the 13th Army who had just been transferred from Chifeng to Shenyang, found that a stranger had come up on the train acting as his headquarters and angrily questioned him.
When the visitor saw Shi Jue's attitude, he was not angry, but immediately stood up and saluted him: "Report to the commander, I am a staff officer of the headquarters, and I went to the car to see my classmates who had been away for a long time." ”。
Hearing this, Shi Jue's anger did not dissipate, and he directly issued an eviction order: "What time is it, give me down!" ”。
Shi Jue's attitude made the atmosphere in the carriage very awkward, but Shi Jue did not care, he was not only the commander of the 13th Army, but also the commander of the Rehe Security, a lieutenant general of the Kuomintang Army, and what happened to reprimanding a major staff officer? Is there a problem? He felt no, however, and soon something went wrong.
After the staff officer of this command returned, he directly drafted an order: "Urgent electricity, Commander Shi: After your military vehicle is transported to Qingyuan, march as fast as you can to Xinbin Sanyuanpu, quickly enter the position, carry out a strong attack, and occupy the commanding heights of Lanshan!" ”。
Shi Jue, who received the order, always felt that something was wrong, but the military order was like a mountain, and he still resolutely carried out this order, and as a result, at Lanshan, Shi Jue fell into the pocket array laid out by the People's Liberation Army, and his 89th Division and the 162nd Regiment of the 54th Division were completely annihilated and suffered heavy losses.
This fiasco not only caused Shi Jue's 13th Army to suffer huge losses, but also caused a chain reaction, which directly led to the bankruptcy of Du Yuming's strategic plan of "attacking the south and defending the north, first the south and then the north".
Therefore, Du Yuming was scolded by Chiang Kai-shek, and in anger, he ordered an investigation, and it was very easy for Du Yuming to find out who had given this combat order, but he did not punish him.
The reason is very simple: this operational order is signed by the chief of the operations section, the chief of staff, and the chief of staff; these people are very important to Du Yuming, and he cannot figure out whose idea it is, and only signs the six words "should be reprimanded" on the telegram, and it will not be resolved.
Then again, why did this major staff officer want to hurt a lieutenant colonel so badly? Just because of the stink that scolded him? Of course not, his name is Zhao Wei, code name "902", is a red agent!
Zhao Wei, a native of Wen'an County, Hebei Province, was born in a cold and miserable background, and at a young age he went out as an apprentice and broke into a career; after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, in order to meet the needs of the whole nation's War of Resistance, Chiang Kai-shek opened nine branches of the Whampoa Military Academy in Xiang, Gansu, Guizhou, Guangdong, and other places.
In October 1939, the 20-year-old Zhao Wei applied for the Whampoa Military Academy branch and was successfully admitted to become a Whampoa 16th Infantry Scientist, where he systematically studied shooting, civil engineering, surveying and mapping, strategy, etc., and gradually grew into a qualified soldier.
In the autumn of 1939, Chiang Kai-shek inspected the Guilin Military Academy, because Zhao Wei was tall, handsome, and also acted as a standard-bearer, at that time listening to Chiang Kai-shek's speech, Zhao Wei was still very convinced, in 1940, he graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, wore an armed belt, and wore a belt around his waist.
After graduation, Zhao Wei was assigned to the Fifth Theater Tang Enbo's department, served as a second lieutenant trainee officer, and also sent a pennant to Li Zongren as a representative.
Unfortunately, he was assigned to the supplementary regiment, and after half a year in the army, he did not have the opportunity to go to the battlefield, and after consulting with his classmates, he broke away from Tang Enbo and ran to the captain of the Guilin branch school, who had already served as the division commander, and was reprimanded.
In desperation, Zhao Wei went to Hubei again, found Zhu Jianguo, a classmate who was a staff officer at the Headquarters of the Fifth Theater, and with the help of Zhu Jianguo, became the captain and deputy commander of the Fifth War Differential Movement, and soon after, he was promoted to major combat staff officer of the Twenty-eighth Group Army.
At that time, Zhu Jianguo was in the Appeasement Group of the Fifth Theater Staff Office, and the main responsibility was to deal with the Communist Party, but Zhu Jianguo was a young man with thoughts, and after reviewing many captured pamphlets printed by the CCP, his thinking gradually turned toward communism.
Zhao Wei, who defected to Zhu Jianguo, often met with Zhu Jianguo in his spare time, and the two often discussed current affairs, and unconsciously, they were also influenced by Zhu Jianguo, and gradually pinned their hopes on the Communist Party.
In August 1945, after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Zhu Jianguo was already a communist and fighting for the country on the secret front.
For his old classmate Zhao Wei, Zhu Jianguo did not hide it, and said directly: "With your identity and talent, there is a way out by doing things for the Communist Party... I believe in your attitude. ”。
Zhao Wei, on the other hand, immediately expressed his position: "I have read the books of the Communist Party, and I also know that old Chiang Kai-shek is unpopular..."
After receiving Zhao Wei's affirmative reply, Zhu Jianguo immediately led the way, so Zhao Wei went to Beiping and met Wang Shijian, a general under Li Kenong, the king of secret agents, and with Li Kenong's approval, Zhao Wei became an "underground intelligence officer", code-named "902".
Soon, Zhao Wei established direct contact between Shenyang and the Party Central Committee of Northern Shaanxi, and reported to the organization the deployment, strength, and number of the seven regular armies in the northeast, as well as Du Yuming's strategy of "defending the north and attacking the south, first the south and then the north".
In 1947, Zhao Wei, at this time, was already a major staff officer in charge of the secret room of the Kuomintang Northeast Security Command, and in addition to being in charge of the secret room, he was also responsible for marking the northeast combat situation map in the office of the chief of staff of the Northeast Security Command, and had a rather profound understanding of the situation in the northeast.
In view of the importance of Zhao Wei's work, the organization also established a secret radio station in Shenyang, which was specifically responsible for transmitting the information brought out by Zhao Wei.
In March of that year, Zhao Wei went to Shi Jue's "Train Headquarters" not to reminisce with his old classmates, but to find out the arrival of the 89th Division and the 54th Division of the 13th Army in Shenyang and the departure time in the name of visiting the old classmates.
Because he knew that the People's Liberation Army had already made arrangements in the Lanshan area, he issued the order and directly buried 1 division and a regiment of Shi Jue.
In May 1947, Lin Biao launched a summer offensive to besiege Siping, and the reason why he was able to fight down was that Zhao Wei was indispensable, because he informed the organization of the movement and deployment of the Kuomintang army in a timely manner, and for this reason, the central intelligence department also specially sent a reward to Zhao Wei.
In September 1947, Zhao Wei went to Beiping on the orders of Chen Cheng to meet Chiang Kai-shek, and the task was to present the northeast defense combat plan to Chiang Kai-shek.
5 days later, Wang Shijian also fell into the tiger's mouth, the PLA secret radio stations in Shenyang, Chengde, Beiping, Lanzhou, and other places were found, and more than 144 people were arrested, including Zhao Wei's good friend Zhu Jianguo, who was then a major staff officer of the Eleventh Theater Staff Office and chief of the operations section, and was immediately sent to Nanjing and brutally killed.
Hearing the news of his friend's arrest, Zhao Wei was deeply saddened, but for the victory of the revolution, Zhao Wei decided to go deep into the Tiger's Den again, and after seeing Chiang Kai-shek, he immediately flew back to Shenyang.
Back in Shenyang, he happened to encounter the enemy's large-scale search in the whole city, and he did not dare to return to his residence, nor did he dare to go to work on leave, so he hid in the homes of his classmates and fiancée.
In order to determine whether he was exposed, Zhao Wei dialed the phone of the chief of the operation section Lu, and from the tone of chief Lu, Zhao Wei heard the surprise and understood that he might have been exposed, and chief Lu asked him where he lived, and he simply told the address, because the place where he was hiding, many comrades in the staff office knew, and there was no point in hiding it.
After making the call, Zhao Wei ran away, hired a carriage, and went to the old city of Shenyang, 20 miles away, and when he arrived here, he called his fiancée's house again, and it turned out that it was Chief Lu who answered the phone.
At this time, Zhao Wei was already sure that his identity had been exposed, and Chief Lu asked him where he was, and Zhao Wei casually made up a place, hung up the phone, and began his own escape journey.
He first left the small south gate of Shenyang, and then walked towards the HunHe, because there were Kuomintang guards on the bridge, he found a place with lush grass on the hunhe River, swam past, it was already dusk, and then under the cover of the sky, he ran wildly for four or five miles, and then plunged into the dense green yarn tent (sorghum land)...
The next morning, he met a man who picked up dung, and when he asked, he learned that he had escaped all night, and only then did he go out for 20 miles, and after discerning the direction, Zhao Wei continued on the road, and on October 16, he finally reached the Jiguan Mountain Boundary.
This was the defensive line of the Kuomintang 52nd Army, and Zhao Wei, as chief of staff, knew very well that he had wanted to go around fifty or sixty miles more and go to the liberated area safely, but unfortunately, he was discovered by two Kuomintang soldiers.
In a hurry, Zhao Wei made a clever move, falsely claiming to be a staff officer of the 52nd Army commander's entourage, and was ordered to come to investigate, and the two soldiers saw that although Zhao Wei was covered in mud, he was indeed wearing the uniform of the general, believing it to be true, not only found a boat for Zhao Wei and helped him cross the river.
After crossing the river, Zhao Wei let two small soldiers stand guard on the shore, and he ran out of the 20 miles in one breath...
On this day, Zhao Wei was discovered by several PLA soldiers with guns, and seeing the comrades, Zhao Wei felt very cordial, and under the "escort" of several small soldiers, he went to the company, and then, he was sent to the Liaodong Military Region, where he was warmly received by Xiao Jinguang, commander of Liaodong Province, and returned to the embrace of the people.
After the founding of New China, Zhao Wei has been working in the central intelligence agency, but unfortunately, after the catastrophe, he was inevitably affected, and in 1981, the 62-year-old Zhao Wei retired from his post in the Ministry of State Security.
After retirement, he ran through more than 30 provinces and cities across the country to carry out patriotic education and propaganda, and in 2004, he also won the title of advanced individual of the national veteran cadres, and now, this legendary agent, who is 102 years old, sincerely wishes him a long life.
