preface:
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, many spineless Chinese threw themselves into the Japanese camp and pointed their guns at their compatriots. The betrayal from one's countrymen is even more chilling than that of japanese devils.
However, a "traitor" named Xia Wenyun was different. Although he also did things for the Japanese, he used the convenience of his identity to secretly actively support the anti-Japanese resistance, and even helped our country eliminate 20,000 Japanese troops with an 8-character message.
What's the hidden story? All this must start from the secret conversation with Li Zongren.
First, he was rebelled against by Li Zongren
In 1931, Sino-Japanese relations had not yet reached the extreme, and the Japanese side just wanted to know more about the actual situation in China, so there was a shortage of translations. It happened that Xia Wenyun was in Japanese and knew the cultural differences between China and Japan, so he became a Japanese translator.
At this time, the domestic situation was chaotic, and the Japanese took advantage of this to try to stir up relations between each other and adopt some big people for their own use, and Li Zongren was the target of the Japanese.
It was also in this situation that Xia Wenyun received a task: to win over Li Zongren.
Xia Wenyun very much hoped that his mission would fail, because he was forced to do things for the Japanese, and if he really drew Li Zongren into the Japanese camp, it would undoubtedly be a time bomb for China.
However, there are people on the Japanese side who are monitoring, and Xia Wenyun cannot passively slack off. In desperation, he could only visit Li Zongren many times and persuade him to cooperate with Japan.
After many contacts, Li Zongren also felt very strange. This translator does not advocate Japan like other traitors, and speaks reasonably, not meanly, and does not look like a spineless person. In order to find out, Li Zongren secretly invited him to his home for talks.
In this secret conversation, Xia Wenyun completely opened his heart to Li Zongren, told him all about his past, and even shed uncontrollable tears when he talked about emotion.
It turned out that Xia Wenyun was born in Dalian and won a place to study in Japan because of his excellent grades. During his studies in Japan, Xia also translated many literary works.
Later, Xia Wenyun lost his job, and there was no chance to work when he returned to China, so he could only work for the Japanese under the introduction of friends.
Li Zongren saw that Xia Wenyun had not lost his patriotic heart, so he developed him into his own spy and obtained a lot of important information in the future anti-Japanese resistance.
2. Important information
Able to develop translators into spies, Li Zongren knows the importance of his existence better than anyone else, so he has always been cautious.
Xia Wenyun himself is more aware of his own danger, and has always only shot at key moments.
After the Battle of Taierzhuang began in 1938, Xia Wenyun knew what this battle meant to China, and once the Japanese army captured the Jinpu Railway and then captured Xuzhou, then its plan of rapid demise would be very likely. Faced with a crisis, Xia Wenyun decided to play his part, risking his life to carefully pass on information, especially about Japan's troops. Combined with intelligence, Li Zongren arranged for troops to lure the enemy deeper and caught the Japanese by surprise.
Xia Wenyun then passed the confluence route of the two Japanese divisions to Li Zongren. Soon after, Xia Wenyun clearly understood all the troop deployments in the Japanese Fifth Theater and sent a telegram to Li Zongren that "the Japanese army moved south and did not move north." After knowing the Japanese strategy of "the Japanese army moving south and not moving north", Li Zongren led his troops to win the victory in the Battle of Taierzhuang.
With the cooperation of Xia Wenyun inside and outside, Li Zongren avoided many casualties and gave the Japanese a heavy blow, killing about 20,000 enemies in the Battle of Taierzhuang.
Not only in dealing with the Kuomintang, but also in the face of the Communist Party captured by the Japanese, many members of our Party, including Dong Biwu, were also helped by Xia Wenyun.
Many times Xia Wenyun wanted to join the Communist Party, but unfortunately he was secretly sabotaged by Li Zongren, which made him a non-partisan.
The Japanese have not been suspicious of the issue of intelligence leakage. Unfortunately, no matter how much they searched, they did not get anything. When the Japanese army was becoming more and more defensive, Xia Wenyun could only temporarily abandon the transmission of intelligence and try to save his life.
Until Japan's defeat and surrender, Xia Wenyun did not reveal his identity, and the Japanese also strongly invited Xia Wenyun to live in Japan.
In addition to the experience of spying, Xia Wenyun's married life is also very exciting.
3. Xia Wenyun's marriage
Xia Wenyun's first marriage was handled by his parents, and he married a woman who was much older than himself. Although I don't like it, I can't disobey my parents and can only live with them.
During his study in Japan, Natsu and Sasaki fell in love freely and entered the marriage hall. Unfortunately, Xia Wenyun had some feudal ideas, and the two did not come to the end.
Xia Wenyun's third wife was Miss Sun, whom she met in China, and the two later gave birth to two daughters. However, Xia Wenyun has the idea of preferring sons to daughters, so he often satirizes his wife. Over time, the marriage also came to an end.
In 1955, Xia Wenyun fell in love with a nurse in Japan and gave birth to a pair of children after marriage. It was also this nurse's wife who accompanied Xia Wenyun until the end of her life.
And because the secrecy during the War of Resistance was too good, almost no one except Li Zongren knew xia Wenyun's true identity. In his later years in Japan, Xia Wenyun never mentioned this matter.
Such a patriotic "traitor", if it were not for Li Zongren in his later years who wrote a memoir, perhaps his story would have been hidden from the public, paying tribute to such a hero who was willing to be nameless.
