I believe that everyone has seen the TV drama of the little soldier Zhang Ga, in this patriotic theme anti-Japanese drama, Although Zhang Gazi is young, he is extremely intelligent, he not only has repeatedly circumvented the Japanese soldiers and played the enemy around, but also successfully helped our army pass on a lot of information, and is a young hero who is not compromised. But in fact, such a small hero is not just a fiction in the TV series, but a real existence in the history of our War of Resistance, this person is Dai Jingyuan.
Dai Jingyuan was a gifted child, he was born in 1919 in Yongding, Fujian Province, in 1929, only ten years old to join the Communist Party of China, the same year was appointed as the secretary of the Yongding County Party Committee, you know in that era is not pure ability, even if there is a hand to cover the sky, who will let a naïve 10-year-old child hold such an important position? Therefore, Dai Jingyuan can have such a status, entirely because of his own ability.
Unlike the ability of leading soldiers to fight wars that we are familiar with, Dai Jingyuan is very proficient in espionage knowledge; although he is not very old, he is talented and intelligent, and he is specifically responsible for intercepting and deciphering enemy telegrams; in the early days of our War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, we did not cultivate mature and advanced reconnaissance techniques and professional intelligence personnel; even some basic intelligence tools were accumulated little by little by relying on the collection of prisoners, and the intelligence progress of our army once fell into a stalemate, and the appearance of Dai Jingyuan at this time undoubtedly improved the shortcomings of our army to a great extent.
First of all, although Dai Jingyuan was young, he had a patriotic heart, since he began to decipher the work, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to his own post, and he was extremely intelligent, and he also attracted the attention of Zhou Enlai, who, after seeing his unmatched talent, specially transferred him to the Second Bureau of the Central Military Commission and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and Dai Jingyuan also lived up to the trust, and soon promoted from a small investigator to the director of the Second Bureau of the Central Military Commission, which also indirectly showed that Dai Jingyuan did have intelligence reconnaissance capabilities that were different from ordinary people.
In the later period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Dai Jingyuan was only 20 years old, but he was already a very outstanding intelligence officer, although he did not charge the front line, but in the rear conscientiously carried out intelligence deciphering work, to know that intelligence to a certain extent can not only effectively predict the enemy's actions, and thus avoid the losses of our army, but also thoroughly grasp the strength and movement of the other side, those intercepted and deciphered by Dai Jingyuan, often record extremely important content, so Dai Jingyuan has also made many miracles. Of all his credits, the most noteworthy is his contribution to the killing of the japanese senior general Norihide Abe.
In November 1939, Abe Norihide was ordered to lead the Japanese army to carry out sweeping activities in the Jin-Cha-Ji Border Region, and there was a fierce battle with our army, and Dai Jingyuan, who was listening, found that in a certain place in the Loess Ridge, the frequency of the Japanese telegraph was very abnormal, after intercepting the information, Dai Jingyuan immediately deciphered it, and found that it was the distress information sent by Abe Norihide who fell into the encirclement of our army, which was an extremely useful piece of information, Yang Chengwu came to the command post where Abe Norihide was located according to Dai Jingyuan's guidance. Four consecutive shells hit the target point, and Norihide Abe, known as the "Flower of the Famous General" of Japan, was killed by the shelling.
The killing of senior Japanese generals was a great achievement at that time, and Abe Norihide's rank was one of the highest among the generals killed on the anti-Japanese battlefield, so after that, Dai Jingyuan not only received praise from his superiors, but even the chairman personally said that he was: "Step by step, it is victory step by step." He also awarded Dai Jingyuan a special honor, that is, a tweed coat from Abe Norihide.
In addition to this incident, Dai Jingyuan intercepted a special Japanese code telegram in 1941, and after deciphering it, it was found that it recorded a major military operation plotted by the Japanese army - a sneak attack on pearl harbor, a US naval base. Although the Americans did not believe in our intelligence capabilities at first, a series of facts proved the correctness of the intelligence we deciphered, and later the Americans gradually affirmed our intelligence capabilities.
Dai Jingyuan's whole life has devoted himself to espionage work; he and his colleagues once took turns on duty, listened to telegrams for days and nights, copied and collected contents non-stop, washed their hair with cold water when they were sleepy, and were afraid that they would miss key information when they closed their eyes. This has also been praised by many senior leaders.
Long-term intelligence work has enabled Dai Jingyuan to cultivate a very strong discipline, he is not only extremely responsible for the work, and the confidentiality work is also in place, when he left the post for a long time, the reporter has interviewed him some of the decrypted intelligence content, Dai Jingyuan has always been silent, he is worthy of being an excellent intelligence officer. Someone once commented on Dai Jingyuan: "Invisible front, unsung hero, selfless dedication, supreme glory." Indeed, these 16 words are enough to sum up his life of bowing.
