After the Songhu Campaign, the party organized and arranged for Chen Yi to be the new mayor of Shanghai. At that time, Chen Yi was faced with three difficult problems: the first problem was how to quickly restore the city's infrastructure construction and restore the normal life of Shanghai citizens; the second problem was to restore Shanghai's economic order; and the third was to hunt down and eliminate the kuomintang agent killers who stayed in Shanghai and sneaked back to Shanghai. The most important thing is the last question, through the joint efforts of Chen Yi and colleagues, Shanghai began to resume production, supply began to increase, and social order began to stabilize. But the Kuomintang did not want to see it, so it sent spies and killers in Shanghai.
Because the first thing these spies and killers did when they returned to Shanghai was to assassinate Chen Yi secretly. The most famous of these secret agent killers is Liu Quande.
Liu Quande was an agent of the Nationalist government's military command, and was also known as "a hundred hairs and a hundred shots, no stabs can not be achieved", and he was praised by the director of the military command bureau many times. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Liu Quande remained dormant in Shanghai. He was responsible for anti-Japanese activities, and during the anti-Japanese war, he also blew up the Shanghai Central Reserve Bank, thus gaining a great reputation within the Military Command Bureau. At the end of October 1941, the head of the Shanghai district of the military command was arrested by Li Shiqun, the leader of the secret service, and the district chief surrendered in order to save his life. Liu Quande was also forced to surrender, but Liu Quande's heart was actually very reluctant to be a traitor, hoping that he could stay in the military command all the time.
The first was the period of participation in the Red Army
Liu Quande was born in 1915 in Ji'an, Jiangxi. He began his military career at the age of 14, but he first joined the Kuomintang, but in china's Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. Because of his good performance in the army, he joined the Chinese Communist Youth League in the same year. At the age of 16, he succeeded in becoming a Chinese Communist.
Liu Quande's force is very powerful, he can use a gun with both hands, his marksmanship is also particularly good, and he is particularly smart, and it is precisely because he has performed well that the leaders will appreciate and promote him, first as a messenger in the Red 4 Army, and then he was promoted to squad leader, platoon leader, and company commander. Later, Zushi began to send Liu Quande to Shanghai to engage him in intelligence work
In doing intelligence work, Liu Quande's performance is excellent, and the work done is also particularly positive, very brave, not afraid of suffering and tired. In 1935, unfortunately Liu Quande was arrested, and it was this time that his personality changed completely.
The second is to become a military command agent
After liu quande was captured in Wuchang, he did not fear the enemy's threat to him at all, and he also became a traitor.
After defecting to the Kuomintang, Liu Quande was first assigned a professional training class. Because he has already had experience as an intelligence officer before, and is also familiar with some work processes, coupled with the fact that Liu Quande was born as a good material for an intelligence officer, his grades after graduation are very good, and the leaders appreciate Liu Quande's ability and talent, reuse him at the same time, but also give him a special reward.
After training, Liu Quande began his career in the Kuomintang, successively holding deputy positions in the leadership of Mao Sen and other military command agents.
At that time, an island adjacent to Shanghai had not yet been liberated, and after the Kuomintang troops withdrew, because there were secret organs on the island, including the Secret Bureau of the Kuomintang in Taiwan, they successively arranged for secret agents to arrive on the island and assassinated Chen Yi and the people around him by various methods and means. But their strategy was to create panic at sea, cause great turmoil in Shanghai, cause panic among the citizens, and facilitate their success in fishing in muddy waters.
At this time, Shanghai had just been liberated. Many are still unstable, and the public security department of Shanghai Has made good use of the power of the people and formed an indestructible people's defense line. As a result, these agents arrived in Shanghai without a foothold,
It was precisely because Liu Quande had excellent assassination results that Liu Quande was reused, but the task given to him was to kill Chen Yi and reward him with two thousand taels of gold for a period of six months.
But the reason for choosing him is not entirely because of his good record, but also because he is too familiar with the geographical location of Shanghai, when doing intelligence work is in Shanghai, Liu Quande has been in the Red Army before the defection, and he is also familiar with Chen Yi, he understands his personality and habits, and his actions are convenient and the success rate is high.
After he entered Shanghai, he did not idle at all, first sent people to the municipal building to step on the point, to find out the location of Mayor Chen Yi's office and the situation of the guards, in addition, he also drew a sketch, waiting for the time to act.
And Chen Yi also knew about this matter and made sufficient preparations, Liu Quande assassinated Chen Yi was unsuccessful, and finally arrested him.
Executions were carried out in 1950.
