In the period of the Republic of China, when the smoke of war was everywhere and everyone was in danger, there was such a strange person: Ming ming was only in his early 20s, but he had a flesh and blood arrogance.
With extraordinary wisdom and courage, he won 540 boxes of explosives and 194 light machine guns of the Japanese army for our army
It made an indelible contribution to the victory of our army in the War of Liberation. He is Walker.
Walker's
Heart to the homeland, "sober in the world"
He was close friends with Cai Yuanpei and Wu Zhihui, veteran figures of the Kuomintang, and when he was studying at Jinling University, he had already been appointed to such an important position as the head of the Youth Department of the Nanjing Municipal Party Department of the Kuomintang. With his connections and talents,
He could have held a high position in the Kuomintang camp, enjoyed Houlu, and spent his whole life drunk and drunk with food and clothing
。
However, since the "April 12" coup d'état, he has thoroughly seen the dark decay of the National Government, and he is willing to establish a heart for heaven and earth and a destiny for the people.
But he also realized that
He could use his existing powers to cooperate with the Communist Party he supported, in order to hasten the demise of the Kuomintang reactionaries.
So after breaking with Chiang Kai-shek, he secretly met a group of like-minded people like him within the Kuomintang, plotting against Chiang Kai-shek in the depths of the enemy camp as dangerous as a tiger's den. At that time, the well-known "Chenguang News Agency" was secretly formed by him, and he originally wanted to assassinate Jiang to achieve great cause, but he did not want to seriously injure another traitor, Wang Jingwei, and successfully caused an escalation of contradictions within the Kuomintang.
Later, after the water came out, the embarrassed and angry Kuomintang rewarded him many times, but each time he was turned aside by him, relying on his wit to provoke and openly call the Kuomintang again and again.
The deeds of such a "sober and benevolent man in the world" have been widely praised by later generations because of their legendary nature, and he has even appeared on the screen.
There is a TV series released in 1997 called "Pan Hannian", although the protagonist of the play is Pan Hannian, but he has a small but extremely eye-catching role around him, yes, that is, his right-hand man - Walkerzhi.
One of his longest scenes in the play is reading a thank-you note from the New Fourth Army with delight, with the following words in the narration: "Comrade Walker:
The explosives you shipped performed extremely well after testing. The 194 machine guns were also all new.
Salute to you revolutionary! "This is actually based on the real events 100% restored, is the real thing that really happened in history, what is going on? This matter should also start from the surrender of the Japanese army after the victory of the War of Resistance...
Japan was defeated and the scam opened
On August 15, 1945, the Japanese government announced its unconditional surrender, and the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, which lasted for 13 years, finally ended in China's victory.
What our Party did not expect, however, was that the Kuomintang actually took advantage of their pre-emptive superiority in the frontal battlefield to clamp down on the Japanese puppet army, forcing them to "maintain order on the spot" and wait for the arrival of the main Kuomintang army retreating to the southwest to recover the cities occupied by the Japanese army, thus pulling our army to a passive position.
Knowing this, Walker was naturally indignant, and at that time he had been showing his face in the Yangtze River Delta region for a long time, and for his safety, the organization was deciding to transfer him to the liberated areas of Jiangbei. Walker was overjoyed to learn of this news, because Jiangbei was the location of his hometown!
He immediately decided that he must bring some "gifts" home.
At present, Shanghai is in the process of handing over power, and the Japanese army's arms in the warehouse are piled up, and Walker thinks that sending this meeting gift is also a way to give the shameless National Government a way out. When all was said and done, Walkerzhi found his working associate in Shanghai, Zheng Desheng, and through him identified his "prey" - Rear Admiral Okada, commander of the Japanese Marine Corps Logistics Base in Shanghai.
Walker learned that Okada was a fanatical militarist who had spent almost every day since Japan's defeat in the war, not only unwilling to be repatriated, but also trying to find a way out to continue the invasion.
The point is that during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he did not do less to guard and steal, and he also sought out Zheng Desheng many times, and joined hands with him to transfer dual-use materials to the black market in Shanghai to catch a handful of oil and water, so Okada also trusted Zheng Desheng.
In this way, Walker locked the target, and after telling Zheng Desheng, the biggest and most popular "deception" on the anti-Japanese battlefield began to slow down
Opened.
Zheng Desheng lied
There is a force that is extremely dissatisfied with the Kuomintang-Communist negotiations, and they are looking around for "like-minded people" in the Japanese army, hoping to form armed forces to join forces to sabotage the Kuomintang-Communist negotiations.
At this time, Okada happened to have such a worry, seeing that the people of Chongqing were increasingly loud in their call for peace, forcing the Nationalist government to send three public telegrams in a row to invite Chairman Mao to Come to Chongqing to discuss the major matter of surrender, and this move not only deceived the Japanese puppet army in the occupied areas.
Even the Japanese military felt that sooner or later the Chinese Communists would enter the "coalition government," so the Kuomintang-Communist negotiations were a huge crisis in their eyes, and might even lead to the spread of the "Red Banner" in Japan in the future.
Zheng Desheng's words just spoke to his heart, so he begged the "old friends" in front of him to think of a way to pass on a message to the reactionaries in the Fifth Theater on his behalf, eagerly hoping to cooperate with them.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Zheng Desheng went back to Warner with great joy to report the "results of the battle". However, the calm Walkerzhi did not rush to close the net,
Deeply versed in psychological tactics, he first satisfied Okada's appetite, then put on the uniform and medal watch of the Kuomintang lieutenant general who had been collected from the black market, replaced the taxi license plate with a special license plate obtained from the black market, and pretended to be a "toe high" momentum to meet Okada.
Wacker, who had been lurking in the top of the Kuomintang for many years, was quite familiar with the style of senior generals of the Nationalist Army, and after some communication, Okada was convinced of his identity and expressed his willingness to fully assist his "glorious cause" on the spot!
One of Walker's eyes knew that the fish was completely hooked. So he began to hint that although everyone was enthusiastic, he was suffering from a weak force and did not have a strong military force to support him, so... Before he could finish speaking, Okada was already: I dripped it, he offered a list with both hands, and Walker looked at the results and was overjoyed:
There were 100,000 rifles and millions of rounds of ammunition!
ammunition
If this batch of arms can be transported to the hands of the comrades of the New Fourth Army, it will be enough for us to arm 200,000 soldiers! That is to say, two-thirds of the comrades will be able to renew their equipment, and then the strength of our army will be greatly enhanced, and the strength of the enemy and us may even be reversed.
But soon, Walker was doused with a basin of cold water by reality: the guards of the arsenal learned that they had come to take the ammunition, and immediately shook their heads like rattles:"
No way! Without the warrant of Okamura Ningji or the order of the Chongqing government, no one can transfer arms for any reason!
”
Okada knew that since the surrender, he and all the Japanese soldiers had become prisoners, and he had no prestige and power to speak of as a commander, so his men dared to be so "axis" to him.
He also understood that once this kind of large-scale theft of arms was shaken out, he would definitely not be able to eat and walk! So it's like a deflated leather ball.
Disappointed, Walker could only decide to return to Shanghai first and make other plans. But before leaving, in order not to show the stuffing, and in order not to cause trouble for Zheng Desheng, he still tried his best to appease the lost Okada.
But I didn't think that this small act actually touched Okada, and Okada, who was in a desperate situation, asked Walker with a tentative attitude: "
I still have some explosives in the arsenal that I am in charge of, which should come in handy a little, do you want it?
Walker's eyes suddenly lit up, of course! I think that our army was unable to purchase a large number of arms and materials, so many grenades were made with black powder, and gunpowder was a very scarce strategic material, in order to ensure the quantity, it was necessary to reduce the amount of gunpowder for each grenade, so its power was naturally conceivable.
If we can successfully obtain a large number of standard explosives, it will be of great benefit to enriching the strength of our army!
After returning home, Walkerzhi immediately reported the matter to Chen Yi, and after learning this news, General Chen Yi attached great importance to it, and even specially dispatched a liaison officer to Shanghai to secretly assist him in the transfer of explosives.
After seeing the stock of explosives in Okada's warehouse, Walker was even more excited, and he was eager to immediately fly back to our army with these explosives.
But the reality is that more and more forces are stationed in Shanghai, and they all want a piece of the pie, so it is more difficult to safely transfer all the arms from this chaotic hunting ground. In the end, Zheng Desheng used all his strength to get five American Dodge trucks, looking at the helpless reality in front of him, the sad Walker thought, forget it, how is it better than a bamboo basket to hit the water!
Dodge Trucks
Therefore, under the arrangement of liaison officer Sun Ming, several underground party members disguised themselves as drivers and retinues, and followed Walker into the warehouse at the intersection of Jing'an Temple in Chengdu. Okada was also full of sincerity, waiting for their big car with his subordinates early in the morning, and when they saw the car coming, they enthusiastically personally carried the explosives to the car.
At that time, next door to this warehouse were the provisional office of the Kuomintang Air Force in Shanghai and the Central News Agency, and some people came to inquire about this huge position in the middle of the way.
However, the arrogant Walker, relying on his momentum and his own demeanor, answered each other's questions like a stream, and he forced the two "neighbors" to scare them, thinking that it was only the Kuomintang receiving enemy equipment.
So there is such a picture on the scene: the Japanese soldiers are sweating next to them carrying explosives, Walkerzhi talks with Okada comfortably, after a "push heart", Okada is once again touched by his "sincerity", gritting his teeth and patting his thighs.
Good! Good people to do to the end, Hua Sang, I still have 194 brand new light machine guns here, as long as it can help our cause, all of these are yours!
Light machine gun
This unexpected "gift" really made one of The Walkers even more overjoyed, lest they contact Zheng Desheng in a hurry, so that he could find two large trucks and load the 194 machine guns into the car.
Next, according to the plan specified by Sun Ming, Hua Kezhi personally escorted these 7 trucks to jinshanwei ferry port 80 kilometers away for handover.
Along the way, there are many checkpoints and dark sentries, but the calm and self-assured Walker is not timid, relying on forged military documents and his wit and composure to pass one by one.
The last ten kilometers, thrilling battle
Seeing that the journey was only a short ten kilometers left, when the truck drove to Zhangyan, a "Cheng bite gold" was killed halfway, and a group of national unification troops claiming to be the "Loyal National Salvation Army" stopped them, and still insisted that the Fifth Theater you are talking about is not Japan's surrender zone at all, and it is not in accordance with the regulations to openly escort so many weapons and arms for transfer, unless the warrant of Ma Zhichao, commander-in-chief of the "Loyal And Righteous National Salvation Army", no one should want to live from here!
Ma Zhichao
Seeing that the other side was overbearing and unreasonable, Walker judged the strength of the enemy and us, immediately killed one of the leaders of the enemy army, and then led the other comrades to drive the truck through the checkpoint. However, no one expected that the "Loyal Salvation Army" who had suffered a loss would not suffer this loss, immediately gathered everyone, did not know where to find a truck, set up a machine gun and began to strafe at our side.
The soldiers of our army thought to themselves,
Fighting firepower? Then you just hit the muzzle of the gun!" The last two of the seven trucks happened to be trucks carrying machine guns, and the comrades of the two trucks jumped up one after another, skillfully unpacking, reloading, and aiming at the enemies in the rear, and under the rapid tongue of fire, all the enemies were annihilated by our army in one fell swoop!
Although in this process, Li Hu, a traffic officer of Walkerzhi, unfortunately became a hero. But apart from that, no one was sacrificed or injured, and this amazing game finally won a great victory! Our army has also achieved tremendous results as a result!
The founding of New China was backed by the efforts of many revolutionary ancestors to shed their blood and sweat, and also condensed the extraordinary wisdom and selfless dedication of countless outstanding people like Walker for the party and the country.
While praising their legendary experience, we must also pay tribute to the enthusiasm and perseverance of the ancestors for the new China, for the rising red sun of the new China, no matter what form they have done, they are all good!
