The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the puppeteer. At a time when the country was alive and dead, the vast majority of people would dedicate themselves to the country, and during the War of Resistance Against Japan, countless people gave their lives for the country. However, there are also some people who trample on the corpses of their compatriots, which is only a small part, and some people hide their identities and serve the country. This man was one of them, he was a translator for a senior Officer of the Japanese Army, but he risked his life to send out information to save 290,000 Chinese soldiers.
This person's name is Xia Wenyun, born in 1905 in Dalian, Liaoning. Because his grades were too good, he was sent to Japan to study. In 1932, he graduated from Kyoto Imperial University in Japan, when the September 18 Incident had already occurred. But China's warlords were still fighting each other, Guangzhou and Guangxi were semi-independent, and the Japanese army used many people to lobby Li Zongren. Xia Wenyun entered the puppet state of Manchukuo for some reason, and soon he began to deal with senior Japanese generals such as Kenji Doihara.
Kenji Doihara was the head of the spy service who had been spying in China and the figure behind the establishment of the puppet state of Manchukuo. Gaining his trust was not easy, and Xia Wenyun became the chief of the intelligence section of the commander of the Kwantung Army and the translator of ZhiyingJI. He Zhiying II was the leader of the Blue Agency, one of the four major secret services, a lieutenant general in the army. In 1935, Xia Wenyun followed Hezhiying er to lobby Li Zongren. Soon, Li Zongren realized that the Japanese military was divided into two factions, and Zhiying II belonged to the northward faction that advocated attacking the Soviet Union.
First, Li Zongren vigorously talked about the disadvantages of attacking China to Hezhiying, and in the process, he found Xia Wenyun to be a decent person. One day, he privately looked for Xia Wenyun. Ask him, the country is about to perish, and your hometown has been invaded by the enemy, are you willing to serve the enemy and do nothing? After these words, Xia Wenyun remembered his youth, when he had the current status. He was beaten by the Japanese at every turn, and even now he is ridiculed by many Japanese. As soon as he heard this, he immediately said to Li Zongren: If you can repay the motherland, you will not give up.
Li Zongren saw that he was sincere, so he made him a secret intelligence officer. He usually spies on Japanese secrets and uses underground radio stations and special passwords to contact himself. Since then, Xia Wenyun has been working as a translator for senior military officers in the puppet Manchurian government. He sent many messages to Li Zongren, the most important of which was the Japanese occupation of Nanjing in December 1937. The 13th Division went north to fight, and Li Zongren learned of the news and began to lure the enemy. In February 1938, Xia Wenyun again sent seven-character information: the Japanese army moved south and north.
Fortunately, with his intelligence, Li Zongren knew the news in advance to mobilize the army. Without him, most of China's 290,000 soldiers and civilians might have died at the hands of the Japanese army. This battle struck a blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army and strengthened the determination of the Chinese people to resist Japan. In December 1940, Xia Wenyun, who had traveled to Japan to participate in the 2,600th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, once again collected a lot of intelligence on the Japanese army.
Li Zongren praised him, saying that his intelligence was unique during the War of Resistance. But no, it is easiest for a senior general's translator to know the information. The point is that Xia Wenyun has not yet received any remuneration, only to do things for the country. The Japanese probably couldn't have imagined that the translators they were paying for were actually spies. However, there were always exposures, and when the Pacific War broke out in December 1941, the Japanese army began to suspect Xia Wenyun and was almost arrested. He ran to Shanxi and lost contact with Li Zongren. After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1946, Xia Wenyun was arrested in Beiping, but fortunately Li Zongren knew the news.
In 1948, Xia Wenyun returned to Shanghai to settle down, and his life was also settled. However, in 1950, he followed his Japanese wife to Tokyo, Japan, and after retiring, he ran a restaurant. He died in Tokyo, Japan in 1978, and he never mentioned the story of sending information to Li Zongren in Japan, and spent a peaceful old age in Japan. Even if he is dead, the people of his hometown will not forget what he did.
