It experienced the Red Army period, the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the War of Liberation. The Communist Party of China finally liberated China with the support of the broad masses of the people and established the People's Republic of China in 1949. This is the sacrifice of lives and blood by thousands of revolutionary fighters, and there are countless stories to sing and weep on the frontal battlefield of war. But the battle experiences of the battlefields in the city and in the crowds without smoke and the silent unsung heroes are even more blood-boiling.
During the period of the War of Liberation, in order to better mobilize the broad masses of the people to support liberation and to better protect innocent citizens, the underground party organizations and secret workers of the Communist Party have been engaged in secret battles with the Kuomintang government and agents in major cities in China. The efforts of these unsung heroes are sometimes better than those of the warriors on the front lines. And the war did not end with the end of the frontal battlefield.
After the founding of New China, neither the Chiang Kai-shek regime nor the U.S. government was willing to accept defeat in China. In order to prepare for future counteroffensives and to undermine the order of new China in various aspects such as people's livelihood, government administration, and economic operation, they left a large number of secret agents and lurkers in the Liberated Areas and plotted to sabotage the newborn People's Republic of China.
This war without smoke of gunfire, under the exposure of later historical archives, we gradually unveiled this mysterious veil and learned about this dusty historical past that could not be made public at that time. Before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the battles between our party's underground organizations and national security organizations and the secret service organizations left on the mainland by the Chiang Kai-shek clique were multifaceted, and an all-round contest was conducted in various aspects, ranging from military strikes, assassination raids, facilities sabotage, and economic wars.
No one knows how many people will participate in the war, no one knows how much coverage there will be, or even when it will begin or end. From the later exposure of the data, we learned that from before and after the founding of New China until more than 10 years after the founding of New China, this war without smoke of gunfire gradually subsided.
We cannot restore the whole history to the masses, nor can we recognize the heroes of the nameless underground fronts. We can only pay our respects to them all. It was they who protected us, it was they who protected the new China that was just born at that time, so that China could grow and achieve our great Chinese dream to this day.
To commemorate these heroes, today we tell you the story of a series of underground wars after the liberation of Shanghai. In the early days of the liberation of Shanghai, when the whole country had not yet been completely liberated, the Chiang Kai-shek clique still had a considerable number of troops and personnel in the mainland area. In order to struggle hard, the Chiang Kai-shek clique formulated an opportunity to comprehensively undermine the stability of New China in the fields of people's livelihood, economy, grain, textiles, and so on, and to create chaos to create a counter-offensive on the mainland.
As the most developed economic city in China at that time, Shanghai was also one of the financial, textile and manufacturing centers in China at that time. It just met the conditions of Chiang Kai-shek's clique, so after the liberation of Shanghai, the war was officially started. First, the Chiang Kai-shek clique took advantage of the fact that all industries in Shanghai at that time were in the hands of bureaucratic capital to launch the first currency war against New China.
At that time, China was in a state of ruin, and the Chiang Kai-shek clique left the mainland with most of the central bank's gold, silver and US dollars. This has resulted in a serious shortage of domestic precious metal reserves. Based on this, Chiang Kai-shek's government began to encourage the Shanghai financial community to speculate on silver dollars and gold on a large scale. And maliciously suppressed the value of the currency issued by New China, and for a time the inflation rate of new China's currency reached a terrible 300%.
Faced with this situation, New China immediately gave a head-on blow. The Nationalist government began to agitate rice merchants and textile merchants in Shanghai to hoard grain and textiles. In just two months, the price of rice and cloth in Shanghai and even in East China has risen by 6 times. In the face of this round of economic offensive by the Kuomintang, our party quickly mobilized strategic materials throughout the country to support east China, and used the resources of the whole country to fight a beautiful economic defense war with the big businessmen in Shanghai.
After the failure of both offensives, Chiang Kai-shek's government was furious and began to use the united States to impose an embargo on Shanghai and various ports in eastern China. Attempts to blockade the Chinese economy. However, the Shanghai government under the leadership of Comrade Chen Yi destroyed the tricks of the Chiang Kai-shek government one by one through planning rationing and nationwide transportation. It once again surrounded the economy and people's livelihood of New China.
In this case, Chiang Kai-shek's government finally resorted to the final killing tactic. Using spies and spies secretly deployed on the mainland and infiltrating the new Chinese government, he plotted to assassinate Chen Yi. This is to create chaos in Shanghai. The only one who undertook this mission was the infamous Shanghai Intelligence Station of the Central Command. The person specifically responsible for this assassination mission was Liu Quande, the commander of Mayor Chen Yi's guard company.
Conclusion: Liu Quande joined the Communist Party of China at an early age, once joined the underground party organization, served as a member of the executive group in the organization, and was responsible for the work of hoeing and raping for our party, because of his quick skills, accurate marksmanship and meticulous mind. He was outstanding in carrying out his mission, but no one could have imagined that he had been captured by the Central Command and had long since surrendered to treason.
In 1949, Liu Dequan assassinated Mayor Chen Yi but failed and was laid on the spot. When Chen Yi learned that he was his security company commander, he couldn't believe the truth of this incident.
