He was a great hero on the hidden front of our party, and because of the loopholes in the sofa, he was almost recognized
In the magnificent open struggle of the Chinese people for national independence, freedom and liberation, many heroic figures have emerged, and their achievements have been widely praised. However, in the war years, those ancestors who fought on the hidden front lurked in the enemy-occupied areas for a long time, completed special tasks and made special contributions in a dangerous environment.
In China's modern history, Guo Ruzhi is a legendary figure, he is a "red man" around Chiang Kai-shek, one of Chen Cheng's "Thirteen Taibao", twice served as the director of the Kuomintang Ministry of National Defense Operations Department, on the other hand, he sent the top-secret intelligence of the Kuomintang army to Yan'an, providing our army with a lot of important information.
In his early years, Guo Ruzhi entered the Whampoa Military Academy to study, followed the revolution, secretly joined the Communist Party of China, and later went to Japan to study halfway, lost contact with the party organization, and once went astray after returning to China, serving the Kuomintang, and when he found that the Kuomintang was unpopular in fighting the civil war, he reawakened, restored contact with our party, and used his special relationship to provide intelligence.
Guo Ruzhen was rational and witty, hiding his true identity seamlessly and without leaks, so almost no one doubted him, except for one person.
who?
He was Kuomintang Lieutenant General Du Yuming.
Du Yuming once went to Guo's house and was surprised to find that the sofa in the living room of this hall lieutenant general was decorated with several patches.
Du Yuming secretly pondered in his heart: I am already considered "clean and honest" enough in the Kuomintang, Guo Rugui's home is even more shabby than my family, he is not a communist who is?
Du Yuming believed in his heart that Guo Ruzhi had a serious suspicion, so he repeatedly asked Chiang Kai-shek in different ways not to tell the War Department about his battle plan.
However, despite this, many of his plans were handed over to single-line contacts through Guo Rujie, and then appeared in the headquarters of our army. What is even more fatal is that because of Guo Rujie's position and position, he can make some reasonable-sounding suggestions to Chiang Kai-shek at any time, and in essence, once these proposals are implemented, they will put the Kuomintang army into a greater crisis.
The reason for the comprehensive defeat of the Kuomintang in the Huaihai Campaign has a lot to do with Guo Rugui, and the American Gehry studied the Huaihai Campaign and also gave a high evaluation to Guo Rugui's role.
After the Battle of Huaihai, Guo Rugui resigned and was soon reappointed as a military commander.
On December 11, 1949, Guo Rugui, then commander of the Kuomintang 72nd Army, led his troops to revolt in Sichuan, which directly caused hundreds of thousands of Chiang Kai-shek troops in the southwest to be caught off guard and suddenly became turtles in an urn. This uprising made a great contribution to the liberation of the Great Southwest.
In early 1951, Guo was transferred to the Nanjing Military Academy of the Chinese People's Liberation Army as a teacher until his retirement.
Guo Rujie retired at the rank of deputy corps, and when he settled in Beibei in 1980, the District Housing Management Bureau arranged for him an ordinary house of more than 70 square meters, cement floor and lime wall, and he lived there until his death, during which he was never renovated. He declined the organizational arrangement and agreed only to be given a car, also for the convenience of collecting information.
In his later years, Guo Lao completed three huge works, among which "Memoirs of Guo Rugui" made great contributions to China's military construction and historical research.
Unfortunately, on October 17, 1997, Guo Lao suffered a car accident, the injuries were serious, although he was rushed to the hospital for rescue, but unfortunately, 6 days later Guo Lao still passed away at the age of 90.
