A magician on the street, a well-known Gu section chief
In March 1931, at the Hankou New Market Amusement Park, a magician named Hua Guangqi won the applause of tourists for his ghostly skills. This Mr. Hua Guangqi is a very strange person, he is not a professional artist, but likes to stay in the streets and perform magic tricks. Staying in an upscale hotel in the French Concession every day, I like to go to nightclubs and a playboy who is ostentatious. But no one knows who he really is or where he came from.
One day at noon in late April, a team of agents rushed to the room of the Deming Hotel, held the tenant in the room to death, and held the pistol to his forehead and asked, "What's the name?" The tenant was slightly stunned and replied, "Hua Guangqi." At this time, a man flashed out from behind the agents, his name was Wang Zhuqiao, who had participated in the workers' movement and was now a notorious traitor. Wang Zhuqiao walked over to the tenant and whispered, "Chief Gu, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Gu Shunzhang was arrested, and the legend of the shanghai beach underground party, the leader of the special branch red team of "eradicating adultery and eliminating evil", was quickly escorted to the camp of the Wuhan Appeasement Office. But there was no severe torture, no coercion, and even the agents couldn't believe that Gu Shunzhang's bones were so soft. He defected, and in order to show his worth, he confessed more than 20 secret organs of the Wuhan underground party.
Li Kenong received a top secret: the dawn betrayed, and the beach was about to change
Gu Shunzhang, believing that he had made a great contribution, bluntly said that he would go to Nanjing, personally meet Chiang Kai-shek, and report more important information. The agents in Wuhan did not dare to be sloppy and agreed to Gu Shunzhang's request. And Gu Shunzhang also warned them not to send any telegrams to the outside world until he reached Nanjing. But it was obvious that by seizing Gu Shunzhang and severely injuring the Wuhan underground party, these spies could not help but pay tribute to their superiors, and how could they heed the warning of a prisoner of a lower rank. A series of 6 "annunciation" telegrams were all sent to the office of Xu Enzeng, chief of the investigation section at No. 5 Zhongshan East Road in Nanjing.
Fortunately, the telegrams arrived on a Saturday, and Mr. Xu was not in the office. The person who received these telegrams was None other than Xu Enzeng's confidential secretary, Qian Zhuangfei. Qian Zhuangfei looked at the first telegram in his hand, with only a short line: "Dawn has been arrested, and has turned himself in, and is about to escort Nanjing." The next few telegrams were the specific deployments to escort the dawn to Nanjing. Qian Zhuangfei wrote down the contents of the telegram and asked his son-in-law Liu Qifu to go to Shanghai overnight on a special express to personally present it to Li Kenong.
In the early morning of April 26, Li Kenong received intelligence and bluntly said, "Things are not good!" Big deal! As a member of the special branch, Li Kenong is very familiar with this "dawn", which is Gu Shunzhang's code name. Gu Shunzhang is not only the direct leader of Li Kenong, but also the core personnel of the entire special branch, and most of the masters of the special branch are brought out by Gu Shunzhang. Gu Shunzhang's defection means that the entire Shanghai underground party will face a complete "purge" disaster.
Elder Zhou personally sat down and tried to turn the tide
Li Kenong quickly forwarded the telegram to Chen Geng of the Intelligence Section and asked him to quickly send an "alert" to all the underground party departments in Shanghai and evacuate as soon as possible. At this most critical juncture, Elder Zhou personally took part in the battle and was fully responsible for handling the Gu Shunzhang incident. He ordered all underground party members who might be the targets of Gu Shunzhang's reconnaissance to evacuate Shanghai, and to abolish all contact methods and joint locations that Gu Shunzhang knew.
Gu Shunzhang, who was still in Wuhan, learned that the telegram of "annunciation" had been sent to Nanjing, but he had no choice but to smile and said, "I can't catch Zhou." Although qian Zhuangfei's top secrets were available, The remedies taken by Elder Zhou, Li Kenong, and Chen Geng were also very rapid. But because Gu Shunzhang knew too much intelligence, such a series of actions could only avoid a "devastating blow" to the Shanghai underground party.
Arriving in Nanjing, Gu Shunzhang identified Yun Daiying, who was about to be rescued from prison, and then personally led people to arrest Cai and Sen, and the two outstanding revolutionaries unfortunately died. The Shanghai underground party was also under the sabotage of Gu Shunzhang, and suffered heavy losses. In 1933, Chen Geng, who had gone to Shanghai to recuperate, also fell into the trap laid by Gu Shunzhang, but under the rescue of many parties and Chiang Kai-shek's order to "must surrender", he escaped the disaster and successfully "escaped from prison".
A wicked man is his own hell
After the apostasy, Gu Shunzhang regarded himself as "hard work and high achievements", and his ambitions were extremely inflated. His repeated acts of treachery and crossing rivers and demolishing bridges for personal gain have also made his "colleagues" hate him to the bone. Gu Shunzhang, who was committed to training secret agents, even had the idea of starting another stove and creating a faction of his own.
Gu Shunzhang, who was so insatiable and squeezed out of his use value, could not avoid the fate of being unloaded and killed as a donkey. In June 1935, Gu Shunzhang was secretly executed in Suzhou. The number one traitor, delusional about glory and wealth, eventually died at his own hands.
