In 1948, when the People's Liberation Army had entered the stage of strategic counteroffensive, the Kuomintang considered the Central Plains region to be really important, and Gu Zhutong, then chief of staff of the Nationalist Government, invited He Yingqin, minister of national defense, and Guo Rugui, director of the Third Department of the Ministry of National Defense, to come and discuss the battle plan.
In the end, they decided to "guard the river and defend Huaihuai", concentrate their superior forces on both sides of the Jinpu Railway between Xuzhou and Bengbu, and wait for the opportunity to launch a decisive battle.
Not long after this battle plan was finalized, Chairman Mao's desk was already on it.
Guo Rujie, director of the Third Department of the Kuomintang Ministry of National Defense, I am afraid that no one could have imagined that he was actually a red agent.
In 1907, Guo Rugui was born in Tongliang County, Sichuan, during the May Fourth Movement, Guo Rugui accepted the influence of revolutionary ideas, in 1925, with the support of his cousin Guo Rudong, Guo Rugui went to the Whampoa Military Academy to take the exam and successfully entered the fifth phase of study.
At the military academy, Guo Rujie became acquainted with Yuan Jingming, a communist party member, and he asked to join the party, and Yuan Jingming replied that he needed to investigate for a while.
In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched the April 12 counter-revolution, and soon guo Rujie's cousin Guo Rudong pledged allegiance to Chiang Kai-shek, which Guo Rugui did not know, and in 1928, he joined the Communist Party of China.
After spending more than 2 years in his cousin's army, Guo Ruzhi deeply understood his cousin's anti-communist trend, and Guo Rudong first sent someone to kill Li Weiru, a communist, and then replaced Yang Sen as the commander of the 20th Army.
Chiang Kai-shek wanted to oppose communism in the army, and Guo Rudong did not dare to keep Guo Ruzhi any longer, at that time, Guo Rugui had lost contact with the party organization, and Guo Rudong persuaded him to study in Japan.
Guo Rugui thought to himself: It doesn't hurt to go to Japan to take refuge, and if you go to Japan to learn some real skills, your contribution to the revolution may be even greater in the future.
In this regard, decades later, Guo Rugui was very regretful, he said: "At that time, I still thought I had a plan, did I know that this became a turning point in my political life, and I have taken a detour for more than ten years since then." ”
Guo Rujie has since lost contact with the party organization.
At the end of 1931, Guo Rugui returned to China and went to the tenth term of the Army University to study, after the Xi'an Incident, on the recommendation of his classmates, Guo Rugui came to Chen Cheng's unit and served as the chief of staff of the division.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Guo Ruzhi successively participated in the planning of the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Wuhan, especially in the Battle of Wuhan, he proposed a battle plan to fight on the outskirts of Wuhan, but soon after the battle, Chen Cheng agreed that after the Battle of Wuhan, all armies did not suffer major losses due to the implementation of peripheral operations.
In this regard, Chen Cheng's appreciation for Guo Rugui has reached a higher level, and since then, Guo Rugui has successively served as the commander of the Provisional Fifth Division and the deputy commander of the "Central Training Corps".
In 1943, when Changde was defending the war, Guo Rugui proposed that the purpose of the Japanese army's rampage was not to grab any grain, but to eat the main force of the sixth theater.
Many people did not understand, Guo Rugui patiently explained this, and later facts also proved that Guo Rugui's judgment was completely correct, Chen Cheng, the shooting case was absolutely stunning: this Guo dwarf, really has two brushes!
At the beginning of 1945, Guo Rugui served as the deputy director and director of the Military Affairs Administration of the Kuomintang in charge of the establishment and equipment of all military divisions throughout the country, and vice president of the National Defense Research Institute.
It was at this time that Guo Rugui had an idea, and he wanted to get in touch with the Chinese Communist Party.
After being introduced, Guo Rugui found Ren Lianru, a member of the Communist Party, and when he saw Ren Lianru, Guo Rugui opened his heart, saying: "I have long regarded Houlu, a high-ranking Kuomintang official, as dung, and I want to go to Yan'an and participate in the anti-Japanese killing of the enemy."
In this regard, Ren Lianru did not dare to make a decision, and replied: My brother's wish will be conveyed, and I believe that it will be reported to the state
This news soon reached Dong Biwu, the person in charge of the Southern Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, who instructed Ren Lianru to contact Guo Rugui, and after several conversations, Ren Lianru was somewhat certain that Guo Rugui really wanted to get in touch with the Communist Party, so he reported it to Dong Biwu, who decided to meet Guo Rugui in person.
Guo Rugui did not forget that he had joined the Communist Party of China, and he asked to restore his party membership, but Dong Biwu did not give a positive answer, Guo Rugui wanted to go to Yan'an, and Dong Biwu did not agree.
Shortly after the conversation, Ren Lianru found Guo Rugui and told him: "Elder Dong said that you can ask for the restoration of party membership, in principle, but you must go through a test. You have little effect on going to Yan'an, and I hope that you will stay here to provide the party with some valuable information. It is up to me and you to contact each other in a single line. ”
As a result, Guo Rujie became a red agent.
Kuomintang Chen Cheng admired Guo Rugui, and when he took over the actual power of the Ministry of National Defense, he appointed Guo Rugui as the director of the Third Department of the Ministry of National Defense.
The main task of the Third Department of the Ministry of National Defense, the War Department, is to provide Chiang Kai-shek with operational plans, to regularly report on the war situation at Chiang Kai-shek's official residence, to listen to instructions, and sometimes to accompany Chiang Kai-shek to various theaters for inspections.
As a result, Guo Ruzhi became the biggest red agent of our party ambushed in the Kuomintang.
During the Battle of Huaihai, Guo Rugui sent all the Kuomintang battle plans to the party organization, and later, he was almost discovered, but due to the adherence of the underground personnel of our party to the faith, his name was not revealed.
After the three major battles of Liaoshen, Huaihai, and Pingjin, Chiang Kai-shek's millions of elite troops had been lost, and Guo Rugui, fearing that Chiang Kai-shek would blame him, decided to resign.
In December 1949, Guo Rugui led the 72nd Army in an uprising.
After Chiang Kai-shek learned of Guo Rugui's uprising, he was very angry in his heart and scolded, he never expected that Guo Rugui was actually the deepest hidden red agent.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Guo Rugui was treated as an uprising general, and his identity as a red agent was not singled out, so compared with other red agents Xiong Xianghui, Han Liancheng and others, Guo Rugui was not reused after the founding of the country.
It was not until 1980 that Guo Rugui was re-approved to join the party, and later, with the implementation of the policy, Guo Rugui enjoyed the treatment of deputy corps.
Han Liancheng was a founding lieutenant general, a red agent, and his experience also had similarities with Guo Rujie, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Han Liancheng took the initiative to contact Zhou Enlai, Zhou Enlai said that the Chinese Communist Party did not develop party members at the top of the Kuomintang, and when he left, Zhou Enlai learned that Han Liancheng was "Han Guizhang" during the Northern Expedition, that is, liu Zhidan had informed the CCP of his relations in the Northwest Army before his death.
Zhou Enlai changed his attitude, and after that, Li Kenong and Han Liancheng were in contact alone, and Han Liancheng became a red agent.
Although Guo Rugui joined the CCP as early as 1928, his comrades in the party were only ordinary members of the GRASSROOTS of the CCP, and later went their separate ways and did not know where they were.
Therefore, when Guo Rugui applied to join the party organization in 1945, Dong Biwu told him to test him for a while.
Ren Lianru, who was in charge of contacting Guo Rugui, did not have a very high status in the party, so we guessed that although many of Guo Rugui's intelligence was sent to the top level of the CPC, many people did not know that the lieutenant general of the Kuomintang was actually a red agent of our army.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Guo Rugui's status is very high, so it is not simple for him to join the party, and with the passage of time, he has no party membership, and naturally he will not be important.
But we also know that history will not forget these people.
Guo died in a car accident in 1997 at the age of 90.
The party organization held a solemn funeral for Guo Rugui, and at the funeral, the party organization gave Guo Rugui a high evaluation: praising his life as "a life of thrilling twists and turns, rich and profound".
Brushing away the thick dust of history and passing through time, we will not forget that Guo Rujie is one of the heroes who contributed to the Chinese revolution.
