Seeing the spy who never did housework go out to take out the garbage, the comrade in charge of squatting was keenly aware that something was wrong and stripped away until he had evidence of his treason. This is not a novel plot, it is the national security bureau Shunto touching the melon to catch the spy who has been lurking for 10 years, and it is a true portrayal of the work of comrades on the hidden front.
Working on the hidden front requires a strong psychological quality and excellent physical quality, which extremely tests people's will. Your work, no one knows, is not understood, and the bitterness in your heart can be imagined. At this stage, we can live in peace and stability, which is the result of the hard work of the staff of the secret front.
Before the founding of New China, there was also such a group of people, for the faith in their hearts, lurking inside the Kuomintang, obtaining intelligence for the party organization, and fighting in the dirty corners for the final victory. Their names are not well known, but their exploits, we need to remember.
In the popular TV series "Latent" more than a decade ago, the male protagonist Yu Ze circled with the enemy every day, carefully taught his wife Wang Cuiping, who was a bit dragging his feet, and searched around for intelligence all day, and was disliked by his wife who was old and rude. But what cannot be denied is that it was his wife's slippery tongue and non-serious behavior in her eyes that avoided the senseless sacrifice of the soldiers of our party. Yu Zecheng is a well-deserved behind-the-scenes hero.
It can be said that Yu Zecheng in the TV series "Latent" has no exact prototype, and is the master of the soldiers working on the hidden front. Today, we will carefully explore General Wu Shi, who has a similar experience to Yu Zecheng.
Not reused by Chiang Kai-shek, he gradually became remorseful
General Wu Shi is different from Yu Zecheng in the TV series, he has received a very formal military education, in the Wuchang Preparatory Officer School and Baoding Officer School, both the small examination and the major examination are the first place in the school. In view of his excellent grades, he was sent directly to Japan to study. When he went to Japan, Wu Shi did not let down his vigilance, and after studying in Japan, he successively entered the Japanese Artillery School and the Japanese Army University to study, which will still be the first in the school. To this piece, the reputation of "Wu Zhuangyuan" made Wu Shi famous.
After Wu Shi returned to China, he did not go to the battlefield he thought about day and night, and first went to teach at the Kuomintang Army University. At this stage, he wrote his own military works and cultivated many excellent Kuomintang generals.
The talented Wu Shi did not expect that he was full of enthusiasm, but later he had no way to serve the country.
Wu Shi, who joined the Northern Expeditionary Army in Fujian when he was young, thought about how to serve the country. After returning to China after completing his studies, he met Chiang Kai-shek, who was nepotistic. Chiang Kai-shek, no matter how talented he is, as long as you do not have an appetite for his employment, such as graduating from the Whampoa Military Academy, coming from his hometown in Zhejiang, and obeying good orders, Wu Shi will at best account for the last point of the above three points, and naturally he will not be used much, and he will not be valued more than Chiang Kai-shek's concubines who meet those three points.
In the War of Resistance Against Japan, Wu Shi really felt that he had been left out in the cold. Wu Shi had a good military attainment and was fully capable of commanding large corps on the battlefield. For such a long time, it has not been able to survive to the real power of leading troops to go out on expeditions. Former classmate Bai Chongxi praised his knowledge one by one, but never mentioned his real power, as if he was a mascot-like person, and many of his knowledge stopped at the theoretical stage, and there was no good opportunity to practice in the field.
In the Kuomintang, most of the Kuomintang officers Wu Shi met were immersed in the world of flowers and flowers of drunken fans, and they only cared about their drunken dreams and deaths, and they did not think at all about what kind of hot and miserable life the people were living. The point is that talented people in the Kuomintang are often excluded, and the relationship between the remaining wine bags and rice bags is quite good, and they think all day about how to make some money from the country and where to go to loot the people's fat and people's cream. The people below are shirking their responsibilities when they encounter things, and they have to ask for work three times or four times. The leaders at the top engage in factional struggles, and it is common for them to fight for territory, and internal struggles are fierce.
Such a cruel reality is completely different from the national government that Wu Shi wanted to establish when he participated in the Northern Expedition, and the government he hoped for, ruling cleanly and wholeheartedly for the people, was enough to enable the people to live a stable little life and get the country out of the status quo of poverty and weakness. At this time, Wu Shi was depressed and had great concerns about the future of the country.
The fourteen-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression came to an end, and Wu Shi looked forward to developing the economy well and improving the living standards of ordinary people after the war. Unexpectedly, his leader Chiang Kai-shek did not give anyone a chance at all.
In 1946, in the face of great discord in the world, Chiang Kai-shek actively provoked a civil war, and the country's foreign enemies were easily repelled, but his own people were engaged in infighting.
Abandon the dark and join the hidden front
By 1948, Wu Shi was increasingly dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek, completely lost his affection for the corrupt Kuomintang, and turned to the previous tit-for-tat Communist Party, which he had seen on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War. After all, no one can accept that what has been done has not been good for the national economy and people's livelihood, but only to satisfy the private interests of some people. The Kuomintang authorities did not fight for China's prosperity and strength, which had a huge impact on Wu Shi, who had a lofty ambition to serve the country.
1948 was a very important year for General Wu Shi. During this year, under the introduction of Wu Zhongxi, a comrade-in-arms who participated in the Northern Expedition, he successfully joined the Communist Party and has since become a key figure in our Party on the secret front.
After General Wu Shi joined the Communist Party, our Party successfully obtained a lot of important materials. Like him, he and many senior Kuomintang officers have teacher-student relationships. It was by relying on his pleas to his student Li Shuzheng that Wu Zhongxi, who had introduced him to the party, easily obtained the Kuomintang's military deployment in Xuzhou.
Under Wu Shi's persuasion, the Kuomintang's hundreds of boxes of important military secret archives were not directly shipped to Taiwan, but remained in Fuzhou, where he was under his jurisdiction, and even more so, under his entrustment, except for a small half that was transported to Taiwan, the rest of the materials were handed over to the Communist Party. This batch of information is still of reference value to this day.
On the eve of the Liberation War, General Wu Shi had the opportunity to directly revolt in Fuzhou, end his undercover career, and participate in the construction of New China as a communist. As a result, in order to let Taiwan return to the motherland as soon as possible, he still took his wife and two small children, resolutely boarded the plane to Taiwan, and continued his lurking career.
Betrayed by traitors and unyielding to death
When Wu Shi arrived in Taiwan, he felt great resistance after carrying out his work. The resistance came from Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo, two fathers and sons, who had experienced the defeat of Taiwan and were no longer as careless as before; Taiwan's underground party organization had been destroyed, and Wu Shi's intelligence could not be sent out for a long time.
Seeing that the situation in Taiwan could not be detected in time, the Communist Party specially assigned Zhu Chenzhi, who had been engaged in intelligence work in Shanghai and Hong Kong for a long time, as a connector to take over the intelligence of General Wu Shi. When Zhu Chenzhi arrived in Taiwan, in the name of visiting relatives, he successfully connected with General Wu Shi and took away a microfilm full of top-secret military intelligence, which contained information on Taiwan's military deployment, which was simply a blessing to the Communist Party at that time.
Several top-secret documents provided by General Wu Shi eventually went directly to Chairman Mao Zedong. When Mao Zedong learned that these materials were taken back from a top leader of the Kuomintang by a female intelligence officer of our party who went to Taiwan, he gave him extremely high praise and even wrote a poem to encourage him.
The intelligence had been passed on, Wu Shi was about to enter the next round of intelligence collection, and Zhu Chenzhi, who had already successfully passed on the intelligence with him, was also ready to retire. As a result, at this juncture, Cai Xiaoqian rebelled. Logically, Cai Xiaoqian should not have a big problem, he is the only Taiwanese who has participated in the Long March, even the arduous Long March has experienced, and there is no obstacle that cannot be carried. Unexpectedly, in less than a week, Cai Xiaoqian gave a full account and confessed to more than 400 Communists and progressives in Taiwan, dealing a devastating blow to the Communist Party's intelligence organization in Taiwan.
In Taiwan, Cai Xiaoqian rebelled, and under his explanation, Zhu Chenzhi's name was prominently listed. General Wu Shi saw that the situation was not good, immediately informed Zhu Chenzhi of the transfer, and also took the risk of issuing her a "Special Pass".
Seeing Zhu Chenzhi's smooth transfer, General Wu Shi did not know that he himself had been exposed. Intelligence agents had already found a notebook with Wu Shi's name written on it at Cai Xiaoqian, who had defected. After the results were reported, the Taiwan side first went to Wu Shi's wife for verification. Lady Wu, who did not know the inside story, had no professional intelligence training, and was tricked out of her husband, Wu Shi, and Zhu Chenzhi, who had confirmed her communist status, in three words. At the same time, Cai Xiaoqian also confessed to meeting with Wu Shi many times, which completely confirmed Wu Shi's communist identity.
After Wu Shi was arrested, he was already in his fifties and could not stand it for a long time, living in a dark and damp cell, and his blood pressure once soared to more than two hundred degrees. In the face of his indomitability, he refused to open his mouth. Intelligence agents went straight to the instruments of torture in an attempt to break his will. General Wu Shi, who felt that he had no way out of prison, wrote a suicide note in prison and planned to die generously.
Even Zhu Chenzhi, whom Wu Shi desperately wanted to send away, could not escape the tracking of Taiwan's intelligence personnel and was unfortunately arrested. In stark contrast to Cai Xiaoqian, after zhu Chenzhi was arrested, in order not to involve comrades, he directly swallowed gold and tried to commit suicide. After unsuccessful suicide, he was escorted back to Taiwan.
I just didn't expect that the news that Wu Shi was a member of the Communist Party had too much impact on Chiang Kai-shek, and he stayed in prison for 3 months and 11 days. After days of torture, one of Wu Shi's eyes had long lost its light, and it was full of scars.
On June 10, 1950, Wu Shi and Zhu Chenzhi were executed at the Baba town execution ground. After the four were executed, reporters took photos at the place of execution. Later, the group of photos of the execution was specially placed on Chiang Kai-shek's desk, and Chiang Kai-shek was extremely distressed by Wu Shi's behavior.
In Chiang Kai-shek's view, General Wu Shi was obviously ignorant of lifting, and he obviously trusted him in Taiwan, and arranged for him to participate in important military deployments many times, but as a result, he was ostensibly doing things for himself and passing on intelligence to the Communist Party behind his back. Where did he know that General Wu Shi was doing things for the country and the people, and how could he care about his trust?
Later, the remains of General Wu Shi finally returned to his hometown, and he returned to the mainland of the motherland where he thought about it day and night.
Throughout his life, General Wu Shi has been campaigning for the independence and prosperity of the country. Until the moment he calmly died, he never asked for forgiveness. Such a dignified general worked cautiously on the hidden front. General Wu Shi deserves our warm applause, our remembrance and remembrance.
