During the war period, our army gave birth to a large number of outstanding underground workers. They are tight-lipped in the face of the enemy and calmly face them in their daily lives, reflecting their extremely high quality. All the tricks of the Kuomintang have lost their effect under their control.
Li Zhenfang was an excellent agent of ours who went deep inside the enemy; although she was a woman, she successfully penetrated into the enemy's interior by her own strength and served as a political trainer in the political training office of the second column of Li Mingyang's troops.
In 1940, at noon one early summer, Li Zhenfang, an agent of our army, discovered an abnormal thing, when the Kuomintang had to pay soldiers from time to time. After learning this news, Li Zhenfang was shocked, at this moment, it is not yet the end of the month, how can the troops pay in advance?
Li Zhenfang's unit at that time belonged to the Miscellaneous Army of the Kuomintang, and the payment of military salaries was generally delayed, and there was almost no early payment, unless it was to start a war. After confirming the authenticity of the information, she immediately made a surprising move.
Secret intelligence
At about 2 p.m. on June 27, Li Zhenfang, who had just taken a lunch break, heard a sharp knock at the door, and when she opened the door, she saw her attendant say to her: "Today is going to be paid, you can also go and get it." After the service soldiers left, Li Zhenfang pondered that something was wrong, there were no festivals or sacrifices recently, so why pay them?
There must be a war coming, she murmured suddenly, but immediately closed her mouth. As an underground worker, she had long been able to cope with such a life, but now she could not directly report to her superiors about the war, she had to go to the salary first, so as not to arouse suspicion. After all, it takes a long line to catch big fish, and the organization also needs her to carry out follow-up work.
Without thinking too much, she got up and put on her military uniform, the rank on her shoulders shining in the sun, emitting two star-like halos, symbolizing her rank, and she was already a lieutenant-level figure.
A few quick steps out of the door came to the finance department, at this time the financial department had already lined up a long line, because the Kuomintang often defaulted on the soldiers' food, so today's people are particularly large, afraid of coming one step late and receiving less money.
Li Zhenfang casually asked the soldiers at the back of the line: "Why did you pay in advance?" Is there going to be a war? At that time, Li Zhenfang was young and beautiful, her skin was white and beautiful, so that people could not help but look at her twice, and no one would be suspicious of such a woman, and the soldiers were eager to talk to her more.
Only to see the soldier casually reply that tomorrow he was going to attack Guo Village, and to raise the heart of the big guys. Li Zhenfang is still calm and calm, after receiving the money, she feels that she has to verify the authenticity of the news to report, if the military information is misreported, the loss is afraid that it will be even greater, and maybe it will also hit the grass and startle the snake.
Thinking of this, she immediately set off and went to the most lively "Pozi Street" in the local area. As a senior officer in the national army, she walked into a tavern full of soldiers without hesitation and asked the soldiers on the table: "Don't you know how to tidy up the military appearance, what does this look like?" ”
Faced with the accountability of the commander, the soldiers drunkenly spat out the truth, and tomorrow they will not attack Guo Village? Just received the salary, hurry out to eat a meal, do not spend it now, I am afraid that I will not have the money to spend it in the future.
Li Zhenfang now confirmed that the news was right, and left the tavern after a few casual responses.
It is difficult to send intelligence
The current situation was 100,000 urgent, and it was necessary to immediately send the news to the hands of Ye Fei, the general of the New Fourth Army, and she decided to risk personally sending information, and it was not safe to hand it over to others, for fear of missing the best time.
As she walked down the street, Li Zhenfang entered a tailor's shop, which was a liaison station for her liaison with the organization, took off her military uniform, changed into a set of cheongsam unique to Jiangnan, dressed up in disguise, and sneaked out through the back door.
Bypassing the Kuomintang's vision, straight to Guo Village, the road was muddy and bumpy, after a long trek, she had already consumed a lot of physical strength, just in time to reach the Pengjiazhuang River, and now no matter what dangers ahead could not stop her. Even wearing a cheongsam, she did not hesitate in the slightest, took off her coat and jumped into the water.
With not very good water nature, he staggered to the middle of the river, and the water had flooded to his chest. But the anxious mood in my heart was nothing compared to this little difficulty, and I don't know how long it took to finally reach the other side of the river.
Unable to rest for a moment, she continued to hurry, and most of the rice fields in front of her were villages, and everywhere was muddy, which made the road very difficult. She simply took off her shoes and stepped directly into the field, the gravel on the ground was drilled so painfully that she could not stop.
After experiencing the night crossing of the river, she finally arrived near Guo Village, where there was a river, fortunately, tiangong was beautiful, she saw a ferry, after crossing the river, the people of the New Fourth Army immediately found her and took her back.
Guocun Victory
The sentry recognized her and sent him to the headquarters without saying a word, when it was already midnight, and here he finally saw Ye Fei.
Although she was already exhausted, she did not dare to be idle, and after she had learned that the Nationalist army was about to attack Guo Cun, she put her mind at ease, and then almost passed out.
With such important intelligence, Ye Fei and others urgently arranged the battlefield, and sure enough, in the early morning of the 28th, our army really saw the enemy's troops rushing over in a mighty way. At this time, Li Zhenfang was still asleep, where she slept like a child lying on the crook of her father's arm, and at this time she was not at all guarded and completely relieved.
In the battle of Guocun, because our army had first-hand intelligence, it finally won the battle with fewer enemies and more, and accidentally annihilated 3 regiments of the enemy, basically completely dispelling the enemy's delusions about Guocun. This battle has been recorded in the annals of history, and it is an example of our army winning more with less.
