In October 1949, Guangzhou was still immersed in the joy of the founding of New China and the liberation that had just ushered in. Flaming red lanterns hang high in front of tall buildings along the street, and colorful flags are unfurled in the wind on the side of the road. People on the street swept away the haze that had been suppressed in their hearts for many years, held high the five-star red flag for various celebrations, and everyone was smiling happily.

However, this kind of festive scene Chiang Kai-shek naturally did not want to see. Guangzhou, once the seat of the Nationalist government, was operated by the Kuomintang for many years, and it was the last fortress before it withdrew from the mainland, and it was very close to Hong Kong, which was mixed with fish and dragons. Therefore, before the Kuomintang withdrew from Guangzhou, it lurked and left behind a large number of spies, bandits, and various counter-revolutionary remnants, who stole intelligence, poisoned and exploded, and assassinated leaders, and their activities were very rampant, seriously threatening the security of the nascent people's power.
The "Hua Yaokun Secret Service Group" is one of the hidden secret service organizations. Strictly speaking, this group was cobbled together by the Kuomintang secret service in August 1949, and he said that he put it together because the Kuomintang secret service organs were already panicked at that time, and the backbone forces were withdrawn with the secret service organs, some went to Taiwan, some went to Hainan Island. This group, except for the leader Hua Yaokun, is the backbone, the rest are temporary recruitment. In order to be able to assemble the group, they even found a former secret agent who had washed his hands and dried up to serve as the radio director. The main task is to gather intelligence and report to their superiors who are far away on Hainan Island in a timely manner.
In order to crack this secret service organization, the Guangzhou Military Control Commission used an underground party member who had been lurking in the Kuomintang for many years and continued to lurk after the founding of New China, Chen Kang (pseudonym).
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, in order to train more secret agents, Dai Kasa, the head of the special agents of the military command, lured many unemployed and out-of-school young people to participate in the special agent training class in the name of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

Some of these lured unemployed and out-of-school youths were brainwashed and followed the military commanders with a dead heart, and some were not completely controlled, with their own judgments of right and wrong, waiting for the opportunity to get out of control, Chen Kang is one of the people who successfully got rid of control. After dropping out of high school in 1939, he participated in the special agent training class set up by the military command in Guilin, during which he met Xu Zhijian, a fellow from Guangdong, and the relationship between the two had always been good, and after graduation, the two were assigned to the intelligence group of the Guangdong Security Command, Xu Zhijian was the leader of the group because of his old age and experience, and Chen Kang was his subordinate.
In August 1945, after the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chen Kang witnessed the darkness of the Kuomintang rule and the cold-blooded cruelty of the secret service organization, and gradually resented it, and repeatedly expressed his reluctance to fight for the Kuomintang in front of his family. Chen Kang's aunt was a middle school teacher named Zhang Qiu, who was also an underground party member of our party's South China branch. Chen Kang's performance was seen by his aunt and began to consciously guide him. The strong family affection coupled with the fact that he was already disappointed in the Kuomintang made Chen Kang quickly turn to the underground organization of our party.
In this way, Chen Kang became an undercover agent installed by our party in the enemy's security headquarters. After that, under the guidance of Comrade Zhang Qiu, he repeatedly provided important information to our party, and thus covered up many underground party members and progressive masses. By the eve of the liberation of Guangzhou, Chen Kang was already a major officer in the Security Command.

In early August 1949, the Guangdong Security Command, which was preparing to flee, began to arrange for lurkers on Mao Renfeng's orders. This work was planned by Xu Zhijian and Chen Xiongluo, and Hua Yaokun was specifically responsible. Because Chen Kang's business did not involve this work, Xu Zhijian did not let him specifically intervene. However, the progress of this work was not so smooth, because at this time the People's Liberation Army had already taken Jiangxi, Guangdong was not safe sooner or later, the secret service organs were already panicked, and no one at this time was really willing to stay.
Although Xu Zhijian and Chen Xiongluo did not make much effort to find intelligence officers and traffic officers, these two positions did not have much technical content, and they were all errands that could be worked as long as they were paid, which was relatively easy. The more difficult thing to do is the radio station director. There are two factors that make it difficult to find: first, this person must be proficient in telecommunications and have proficient radio operation skills; second, this person must never be exposed, and it is best to be Cantonese and know the vernacular (that is, Cantonese).
On this day, Chen Kang invited Xu Zhijian to a tavern to drink idle wine, after three rounds of drinking, Xu Zhijian inadvertently revealed his troubles and began to complain: "At this time, let me arrange for someone to form an intelligence radio group and lurk down, isn't that just sending him to death?" Where to go to find people who know radio! Chen Kang knew the rules of his own way, he didn't inquire more, just left a heart eye. In order to avoid Xu Zhijian's suspicions, he also scolded Xu Zhijian with the above words.
Chen Kang quickly reported this situation secretly to our underground party organization, which demanded that it continue to follow up and understand the situation, strive to stay behind when the security headquarters was withdrawn, and assist in the investigation of the enemy's lurking secret service organization in Guangzhou.
Once, Xu Zhijian asked Chen Kang if he would like to retreat to Hainan Island with him, and Chen Kang excused himself: "You know, brother I just got married, and my wife doesn't want me to leave Guangzhou." Xu Zhijian said: "If you don't go to Hainan Island, then stay as a lurker, your radio business is also good, help me, I am worried about finding no one." Chen Kang said, "You and my brother, you also know what the result will be if you stay as a lurker, can you bear to let my new family be separated?" ”
The two were silent for a while, and Chen Kang said, "After you evacuate, I will wash my hands and not dry, and live with my wife in peace." Never meddle in the affairs of any organization again. ”
Speaking of this, after all, the two were classmates and fellow villagers who had worked together for many years, Xu Zhijian did not insist on it anymore, and this matter was shelved.

In any case, Mao Renfeng's orders still had to be carried out. At this time, Chen Xiongluo recommended a person to Xu Zhijian. This man's name was Li Kang, and Chen Xiongluo had received training with him in the "Radio Intelligence Training Class" of the Military Command, and Li Kang had very good training results, and after graduation, he was assigned to work in the Guangdong Provincial Radio Administration.
After working for a while, Li Kang was poached by a bank with a high salary. The Radio Administration is only a peripheral organization of the military command, so it is not so difficult to get in and out. Lai Kang worked first as a telegraph operator and was soon promoted to head of telecommunications. But the good times did not last long, and the bank soon closed down in the war, and Li Kang also lost his job. Once, Chen Xiongluo met him on the street and saw him setting up a street stall to earn some hard money to subsidize his family.
The old classmates saw each other again for many years and appeared to be extremely affectionate, and Chen Xiongluo was even more warm to Li Kang and was particularly concerned about his current situation. Chen Xiongluo tentatively inquired about Li Kang's social relations and ideological status, and after not noticing anything unusual, he pulled out his id certificate, the director of the radio station of the Guangdong Provincial Security Command. Chen Xiongluo is a secret agent, and he knows that it is urgent to pull people on the ship. Therefore, he asked for Li Kang's address and said that he would definitely find a way to find a job for Li Kang, which made Li Kang very moved.
Therefore, Chen Xiongluo proposed to Xu Zhijian to take out a part of the funds and use the money he needed to pull him to join the organization. Xu Zhijian is asking for it, and the problems that money can solve at this time are not problems. So Xu Zhijian drew up a letter of appointment and allocated a sum of money to Chen Xiongluo to let him do it.
One day in early September, Chen Xiongliu found No. 7, an alley on the south bank of the Pearl River, according to the address left by Li Kang. Before entering Li Kang's house, Chen Xiongluo, an old agent, walked back and forth several times along the nearby alley, carefully surveyed the surrounding terrain, and found that this place was close to the south bank of the Pearl River, surrounded by densely populated people, and Li Kang's family was hidden in this residential area, which was very suitable for setting up a radio.
After that, Chen Xiongluo came to Li Kang's house. After the meeting, he told Li Kang that he had been appointed as the director of the Guangzhou branch of the Guangdong Provincial Security Command Radio Station, and awarded him the letter of appointment. Chen Xiongluo also gave him 60 yuan of ocean and 300 pounds of rice as the first month's salary. At that time, due to the soaring prices in the midst of war, the ocean and rice were very scarce materials, and Li Kang was very happy and immediately accepted the appointment.
In early October 1949, Ye Jianying commanded the independent corps composed of the 4th Corps of the 2nd Field Army and the 15th Corps of the 4th Field Army to march directly into Guangzhou.

Seeing that the time was pressing, Xu Zhijian, under the leadership of Chen Xiongluo, came to Li Kang's residence to personally assign tasks to him. He told Li Kang that the headquarters was about to withdraw to Hainan Island and that Li Kang would stay in Guangzhou to continue his work.
At this time, Li Kang suddenly realized that the so-called care was to let him stay as a lurking agent. Thinking of the huge risks in the future, Li Kang showed a hesitant expression.
Xu Zhijian revealed the fierce nature of the secret agent, knocking Li Kang and saying that since he promised to be effective, he could not rebel, otherwise he would face the sanctions of the organization. Li Kang knew the severity of the sanctions he said, and then thought that he had promised the other party, and the key was to spend all the money they gave, so he had to agree.
On October 12, Guangzhou will be liberated in two days. The Security Command has become a mess, and the military and political personnel are busy fleeing. Xu Zhijian summoned all the agents of the radio lurking group to his office and held an emergency meeting, announcing that Hua Yaokun was the leader of the latent intelligence group, Li Kang was the director of the radio station, Wang Ying was the intelligence officer, and Hu Bo was the traffic officer. This was the first time Li Kang had met his future spy partners.
Because it was chaotic at that time, and the secret measures of the secret agents were not so strict, Chen Kang took advantage of their centralized meeting to take advantage of the chaos to hear some sporadic information: the radio station was opened on the south bank of the Pearl River, and a storefront was opened nearby as a cover.
After the meeting, Chen Kang found Xu Zhijian. He took out his secret service card and burned it in front of Xu Zhijian, indicating that he would draw a clear line with the secret service organization from now on and ask him to leave with confidence. After that, Xu Zhijian hurriedly left Guangzhou with his secret service.
On October 14, Guangzhou was liberated. The secret service activities of the latent radio stations also began. Wang Ying and Hu Bo opened a small food shop on the south bank of the Pearl River, and as a stronghold for collecting and exchanging intelligence, Li Kang was responsible for sending and receiving intelligence by radio.
The Pearl River of that year
After liberation, the Guangzhou Military Control Commission asked Chen Kang to continue to disguise his underground party identity, and the first task entrusted to him was to assist the public security personnel in finding clues to the lurking radio group.
On October 22, The Hidden Radio successfully completed collusion with the headquarters on Hainan Island, and since then the station has continuously issued instructions to the Guangzhou branch to collect military, political, economic, and information on the activities of the CCP leaders.
The lurking radio stations followed orders, constantly reporting the intelligence they had gathered to their superiors, and more than a dozen times they went to the telephone to ask for funds for the activities.
At this time, it was time for Chen Kang to appear. Together with the police, he worked out a "infernal affairs" scheme. Chen Kang uses his hidden identity to find out the secret service team and infiltrate it. Although Chen Kang did not know the other members of the group, he knew Hua Yaokun, and as long as he could find his whereabouts, he would be able to get close to the secret service organization.
Therefore, on the street on the south bank of the Pearl River, a cargo man who walked the streets and alleys to pick up the burden appeared, shouting as he walked: "Sell goods!" But his eyes were watching from time to time. This person is Chen Kang.
Chen Kang walked around the south bank of the Pearl River every day, quietly observing suspicious people. A few days later, when he was walking around the Nanguan Cinema, he saw a back that resembled Hua Yaokun. He quietly walked to the front of the man, looked back, and sure enough, it was him.
Hua Yaokun was also very surprised when he suddenly saw Chen Kang, and did not dare to say hello, but turned his head and left. Chen Kang followed closely behind, and the two went to a secluded place next to the theater one after the other to quietly talk.
At that time, Hua Yaokun, because opening a shop was just a cover, invested a lot but did not make money at all, and the families behind several people wanted to live, so there was little left of the activity funds at hand, Xu Zhijian could not send funds over there, and they had begun to have shaken ideas.
Hearing Chen Kang's story, he immediately asked Chen Kang to help him find an errand in Hong Kong. Chen Kang expressed his willingness to help and gave Hua Yaokun some money, which made Hua Yaokun very grateful, saying that he would come to Chen Kang's house in two days to discuss going to Hong Kong.
Bidding farewell to Hua Yaokun, Chen Kang immediately went to the public security organ and reported the situation found. After research, everyone believes that in the current situation, Hua Yaokun may escape at any time. So he decided to arrest Hua Yaokun when he arrived at Chen Kang's house. At the same time, it was also decided that in order to cover Chen Kang and not let him be exposed, he would be arrested together.
After two days, Hua Yaokun really went to find Chen Kang, and the two of them talked about going to Hong Kong and went to the tea room on the street to drink tea together. On the way, the public security personnel who had already ambushed them suddenly surrounded them, Hua Yaokun was frightened and his legs immediately went weak, and Chen Kang pretended to protest loudly. The police tied the two men up and took them to the car.
Investigators then secretly escorted Hua Yaokun to his home to search, and found a pistol, a secret agent card, and a radio codebook on the spot. Without much effort, Hua Yaokun confessed truthfully to his lurking group. The public security organs arrested all three remaining agents of the lurking radio station and seized a revolver, three secret agent certificates, and a radio station.
Radio stations cracked by the public security organs
The hidden radio group painstakingly assembled by the Kuomintang agents, which had been operating for less than two months, was destroyed in one fell swoop by the efforts of my underground party members. This time, underground party member Chen Kang was indispensable!
