A senior staff officer of the Eighth Route Army disappeared on the way home, and the whole army searched for 13 years, and finally found a clue

On July 7, 1937, the Japanese army brazenly launched the Lugou Bridge Incident that shocked the world, marking the outbreak of China's all-round War of Resistance Against Japan, and countless Sons and Daughters of China rushed to the battlefield, threw their heads and blood on the battlefield, and sacrificed their precious lives to save the nation.

At that time, many heroic figures with singing and weeping appeared in our country, who tried to save the country and defend the country, threw their heads and spilled their blood on the battlefield, and fought bravely to repay the motherland with practical actions.

Among these patriotic benevolent men, there was a senior staff officer of the Eighth Route Army, who suddenly disappeared one day on his way home in 1938, and the whole army searched around for his whereabouts, and did not find a clue until 13 years later. What happened to him?

The master and apprentice turned against each other and became the most cattle Whampoa students

He is Xuanxia's father, born in 1899 in Zhuji County, Zhejiang Province, a scholarLyxiang Mendi, when his father was a well-known "Xiucai" in the township, it can be said that the family has a deep origin, perhaps influenced by family factors, perhaps inheriting his father's excellent genes, Xuanxia's father liked to read since childhood, he read his father's collection before going to school.

Father Xuanxia

In 1916, he successfully entered the Zhejiang Provincial Special Fisheries College to study, during the period of study he was both excellent in character and learning, and after graduation, he went to Japan to study at public expense with excellent results, and during his study in Japan, he was exposed to advanced ideas - Marxism.

At that time, he was deeply attracted by Marxist ideas, and in the depths of his heart, he believed that Marxism could save China, so he seriously studied Marxism and actively organized social activities, and it was precisely because of his actions that the school stopped his treatment of studying at public expense.

After returning to China, he became acquainted with Yu Xiusong, Xuan Zhonghua and other communists, and together with them engaged in revolutionary activities in Hangzhou, Taizhou and other places, actively propagating revolutionary ideas, spreading the seeds of revolution to the local people, attracting countless young people with lofty ideals to join the revolutionary ranks, and making the revolutionary contingent grow continuously.

In 1923 he joined the Socialist Youth League in Hangzhou, and later he became an honorable member of the Communist Party.

In 1924, the Kuomintang ushered in the first cooperation, the establishment of the Democratic United Front, the young Chinese Communist Party began to become a political stage and quickly became an important force in Chinese politics, in order to study the military, many Communists entered the Whampoa Military Academy to study.

Xuanxia's father, who was a member of the Communist Party at that time, was appointed by the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China to enter the Whampoa Military Academy and became the first batch of cadets of the Whampoa Military Academy.

Chiang Kai-shek

Due to his high academic qualifications and study abroad experience, he quickly became a leader among many Whampoa students, and at that time he was also highly valued by Chiang Kai-shek, who was then the president of the Whampoa Military Academy. Chiang Kai-shek was a man of talent, and he always wanted to win him over and make him his concubine.

It was precisely because of his ability and political integrity, lofty revolutionary feelings, and strong faith that he was extremely dissatisfied with what Chiang Kai-shek had done at that time. As the saying goes, the Tao is different and does not conspire against each other, because Chiang Kai-shek at that time, as the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy, undermined the system of governing the army with the party, which aroused everyone's criticism.

In the face of Chiang Kai-shek's behavior, GengZhi's xuanxia father openly opposed Chiang Kai-shek, and he publicly disclosed what Chiang Kai-shek had done and refused to implement Chiang Kai-shek's erroneous decision, which made Chiang Kai-shek very annoyed with him.

However, Chiang Kai-shek cherished his talent very much and sent people to tell him several times that Chiang Kai-shek would not be blamed for the past if he was willing to write a letter of repentance. However, Xuanxia's father did not want to join Chiang Kai-shek and refused to write a letter of repentance, and as a result, Chiang Kai-shek expelled him from the Whampoa Military Academy on the grounds of "disobeying the orders of his teachers."

Whampoa Military Academy

He became the only cadet expelled from Chiang Kai-shek's life, and although he lost the opportunity to study at the Whampoa Military Academy, he did not regret it at all, and finally he left the Whampoa Military Academy with a big wave, and he was known as "the most cattle Whampoa cadet of the Whampoa Military Academy".

Actively carry out revolutionary work

After Xuanxia's father left the Whampoa Military Academy, in the spring of 1925, he was dispatched by Li Dazhao of the Northern Region of the Communist Party of China to lead a group of Communists as a member of the Kuomintang to serve as propagandists in Feng Yuxiang's troops in the Northwest Army, and later went to Zhangjiakou to support Feng Yuxiang in establishing an anti-Japanese alliance army.

Feng Yuxiang greatly admired his talent, and after the establishment of the Anti-Japanese Allied Army, he served as a member of the Front Line Committee of Feng Yuxiang's Anti-Japanese Allied Army, as well as the director of the Political Department of Ji Hongchang's Second Army and the commander of the 5th Division of the Main Pioneer, and the director of the Political Department of the Former Enemy General Headquarters of the Second Army of the National Revolutionary Army.

Feng Yuxiang

During his tenure in the Anti-Japanese Allied Army, he led the Fifth Division to fight many victorious battles, annihilated a large number of Japanese puppet troops, and recovered the important towns of Kangbao, Baochang, Duolun and the whole territory of Chahar, and made great achievements. However, in the end, due to the excessive disparity between the enemy and our forces, it was isolated and helpless, and the anti-Japanese allied army was eventually forced to disband.

During this period, he became close friends with Ji Hongchang, who broke with Chiang Kai-shek for opposing the civil war.

This made Chiang Kai-shek very angry and ordered the arrest of Xuanxia's father, who secretly met with Ji Hongchang to form the "Chinese Anti-Fascist Alliance" and introduced Ji Hongchang to the Chinese Communist Party.

Went to Xi'an to carry out the work of the anti-Japanese national united front

After the Xi'an Incident, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party ushered in the second joint anti-Japanese war, and Chiang Kai-shek took the opportunity to squeeze out Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army and Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army.

At that time, Xi'an was already the domain of Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army, and the Huangpu department was Chiang Kai-shek's concubine, so most of the generals of the Central Army were mainly from the Huangpu department.

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek was well aware of the importance of political propaganda, and he originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of kuomintang-Communist cooperation to seize the opportunity to seize the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army in his own hands, thus overriding the military leadership of the Communist Party of China over the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army.

However, in the end, his wishful thinking failed, and the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were firmly grasped by the Communists.

At this time, the Chinese Communist Party also realized that the Whampoa Military Academy was the core of the Kuomintang army, and as long as it shook the Whampoa department, it might affect a large number of Kuomintang generals.

In order to win over the generals from the Whampoa Military Academy of the Kuomintang Army, they must find a person who is also from Whampoa to talk to them and win these generals.

In order to facilitate the work, the Chinese Communists decided to transfer Xuanxia's father, who was also from the Huangpu Military Academy, to Xi'an to discuss the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists, and to take this opportunity to approach these Kuomintang Huangpu generals and win them as much as possible.

Therefore, Xuanxia's father was appointed as a senior staff officer of the Office of the Eighteenth Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, the "Xi'an Office of the Eighth Route Army", to assist Comrade Zhou Enlai in carrying out the work of the anti-Japanese national united front.

When Xuanxia's father first came to Xi'an, Chiang Kai-shek knew that whether he was leading troops to fight or doing political work.

Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek, who had always regarded the general from the Whampoa Military Academy as a concubine, wanted to take this opportunity to release his former suspicions with Xuanxia's father and win him over for his own use, but Xuanxia's father had already seen the true face of Chiang Kai-shek, so how could he turn against him?

Therefore, he politely rejected Chiang Kai-shek, and by virtue of his eloquence and communication means, he chatted very happily with the generals of the Kuomintang Huangpu clan, especially with Hu Zongnan, who had a high prestige in the army, and had a fierce and personal relationship.

Suddenly disappeared on the way home

One day in 1938, after Xuanxia's father finished his business, he rode home alone on his bicycle, but suddenly disappeared on the way home.

After Xuanxia's father disappeared, Lin Boqu, a representative of the Xi'an Office of the Eighth Route Army, immediately reported to Zhou Enlai, who immediately entrusted Lin Boqu to find the whereabouts of Xuanxia's father.

In order to find Xuanxia's father, he even mobilized the whole army to look for it, but there was still no clue.

Limber Canal

Zhou Enlai concluded that Xuanxia's father had been poisoned by the Kuomintang, so the CPC representatives repeatedly asked Chiang Kai-shek for someone, but All of them were flatly denied by Chiang Kai-shek, and at that time the Chinese Communist Party did not have enough evidence to identify Xuanxia's father in the hands of the Kuomintang, and it coincided with the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China to resist Japan, and our Party had no choice but to do anything until there was conclusive evidence.

It's just that at this time, Xuanxia's father didn't see anyone dead or a corpse, and disappeared between this heaven and earth like evaporation, leaving no trace of anything.

The identity of the agent is exposed

The Emperor did not pay his heart, and after the painstaking search of the whole army, he finally found a clue in 1951.

At the beginning of the founding of New China, in order to stabilize the nascent political power and maintain social stability. The Chinese government set off a climax of suppression of counter-revolution, purging the Kuomintang agents lurking on the mainland and eliminating the remnants of the Kuomintang throughout the country.

One day in 1951, at a grocery store in TunfuGui Street, Huanggu District, Shenyang, Liaoning Province, several public security organ staff members walked in and shouted at the owner of the grocery store: "Wang Ziming, we already know your identity, we have evidence of your crime, follow us to Beijing." ”

At that time, the grocery store owner Wang Ziming pretended to be calm and did not resist, because at this time he knew that he could not run if he wanted to, and the staff of the public security organs at this time had already laid a net of heaven and earth, so he obediently followed the public security personnel.

It turned out that Wang Ziming was not the real name but a pseudonym of the owner of the grocery store, his real identity was Tong Ronggong, who had served as the deputy director of the inspection office of the Peiping Police Headquarters, and also served as the chief of the guard of Dai Kasa, the deputy officer of Zheng Jiemin's entourage, and other positions, and was a professionally trained secret service leader.

Li

He had engaged in military command espionage activities in many places, and because of his cruel and fierce tactics, he was later transferred to the Beiping secret service agency and engaged in espionage activities in Beiping for a long time.

After Tong Ronggong was escorted back to Beijing, he mentioned some of the criminal activities he had engaged in secret service activities in Xi'an when confessing historical crimes, which attracted the attention of the interrogators. The interrogators seized on this clue and constantly questioned Tong Ronggong, and in desperation confessed to the crime of his father Xuanxia, a senior staff officer of the Xi'an office of the Eighth Route Army, in 1938.

Truth

The interrogators were shocked after listening to it, this is really a major clue, after getting this major clue, the interrogators did not dare to neglect to immediately report the interrogation situation to the Ministry of Public Security.

The truth about the disappearance of Xuanxia's father, a senior staff officer of the Xi'an office of the Eighth Route Army, was finally revealed to the world thirteen years later, so what was the truth of Xuanxia's father's murder that year?

In 1938, Jiang Dingwen, who was then the director of the Xi'an Camp of the Kuomintang Military Commission, received a secret order from Chiang Kai-shek: asking Jiang Dingwen to secretly sanction Xuanxia's father, a senior staff officer of the Xi'an office of the Eighth Route Army.

Although, due to the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, he had more contact with Xuanxia's father, and he also greatly appreciated Xuanxia's talent, but he knew that their political positions were different, and he always kept in mind that Xuanxia's father was a communist and that he was a high-ranking official of the Kuomintang.

Although they were friendly at this time, sooner or later they would have to part ways, so even if he had the heart of love and talent, how sorry for Xuanxia's father, at this time, he would not be kind to Xuanxia's father.

Jiang Dingwen did not dare to be sloppy, and he immediately handed over this important task to Zhang Yifu according to the division of duties. After Receiving the task, Zhang Yifu immediately organized personnel to closely monitor Xuanxia's father and seek a suitable opportunity to take action against Xuanxia's father.

Jiang Dingwen

However, since Zhang Yifu was about to take up the post of acting secretary of the Wuchang Military Command Bureau, in order to complete the task assigned by his superiors, he handed over this task to Xu Yijue when the work was handed over.

After Xu Yijue received this task, he immediately teamed up with Ding Minzhi, head of the intelligence group, to summon Li Hanting, the leader of the action group, to secretly negotiate the assassination, and they asked Li Hanting to find several team members to participate in this task.

Li Hanting brought three members of the team, Tong Ronggong, Li Junliang, and Ding Shanqing, who had found a good team, to see Xu Yijue and Ding Minzhi, and they formed an action team to assassinate Xuanxia's father.

In order to better complete the assassination mission, Xu Yijue introduced to them the personal information of Xuanxia's father, the target of the upcoming secret assassination: "Xuanxia's father, a cadet of the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, is currently a senior staff officer in the office of the Eighteenth Group Army. ”

After introducing the information of Xuanxia's father, he distributed the photo of Xuanxia's father to everyone involved in the operation.

Li Hanting, the leader of the group, pointed at Tong Ronggong, Li Junliang, and Ding Shanqing and said, "You must keep in mind the appearance of Xuanxia's father and monitor his every move at any time in order to act." ”

Xu Yijue further emphasized: "You must not act rashly, this is a period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and sanctioning Xuanxia's father is a political necessity, so you must be careful when you act, you must wait until there is no one around him before you can do it, and you must not let the second person see it, otherwise none of us can bear the political problems caused by the destruction of unity and resistance against Japan." ”

After the task was arranged, Tong Ronggong and the three of them secretly monitored Xuanxia's father's every move every day, and after several days of monitoring, they found that they had no chance to do it at all, because Xuanxia's father either picked up the car and went out, or closed the door, and in the blink of an eye, three or four months had passed, and they had not been able to complete the task smoothly.

This made everyone in the action team anxious like ants on a hot pot, in order to complete the task as soon as possible, they carried out a more detailed division of labor, and the leader of the action group at this time, Li Hanting, was also personally involved in the tracking and surveillance, and he secretly commanded and supervised the arrest operation nearby.

Like a pack of wild wolves, they lurk in a hidden place waiting for their prey to appear. On July 31, 1938, Xuanxia's father came out of the residence on a bicycle, and after a long period of dormancy and waiting, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them, so they followed Xuanxia's father all the way and waited for a suitable opportunity to kidnap Xuanxia's father.

They finally found an opportunity where no one was present, so they immediately began the kidnapping operation, quickly dragging Xuanxia's father to the car, and then driving the vehicle away quickly.

After several turns, they handed over Xuanxia's father to the Einsatzgruppen, and through their conversation in the car, Xuanxia's father at this time had already guessed who the black hand behind the kidnapping was, and he also knew that this time it must be a disaster, and he was very calm at this time.

Ji Hongchang

The agents pushed Xuanxia's father to a basketball court at the east end of the courtyard, at this time he had already realized that his limit was approaching, and he remembered Ji Hongchang's poem when he was about to be executed: "Hate not resist japan and die, leave it as a shame today, the country is still broken, why should I pity this head!"

Xuanxia's father also used this to express his regret that he had not yet gone to the country in shame and his patriotic feelings of seeing death as a homecoming.

He turned to stare at these Kuomintang agents and taunted: "You are Chinese in vain, you will only poison your compatriots, if you really have the ability, go and fight the Japanese!"

Immediately, the agent's pistol sounded twice in a row, but he did not expect that the iron-boned Xuanxia father would still stand up after being shot.

The agents fired seven more shots in succession, and Xuanxia's father fell to the ground unwillingly.

That night, the agents packed the body of Xuanxia's father into a sack, and then threw it into a dry well in the East City of Xia maling, and filled the dry well with soil.

In order to prevent the matter from being revealed, the Einsatzgruppen also sent guards near the dry well to prevent xuanxia's father's body from being discovered by the Communists.

Want to cover the body and destroy the traces

After discovering the disappearance of Xuanxia's father, Lin Boqu, a representative of the Xi'an Office of the Eighth Route Army, immediately sent people to search for him in many ways, and they concluded that this matter must be related to the Kuomintang.

Therefore, Lin Boqu asked Jiang Dingwen, director of the Xi'an camp of the Kuomintang Military Commission, for a person.

At this time, Jiang Dingwen also pretended to be innocent and said: "Although in the past we have always had contradictions, but now is the time for the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to cooperate and unite with the outside world, we are not in a state of hostility, but a friendly army, how can we attack friendly forces?"

In order to cover up the truth of the facts and avoid the crime of undermining unity and resistance against Japan because the truth of Xuanxia's father's murder was exposed, they did enough drama.

On the one hand, Jiang Dingwen ordered all the Xi'an police to go out to find out the whereabouts of Xuanxia's father in the name of "checking the household registration", and gave the party an explanation through a large-scale search.

On the other hand, he ordered Li Hanting to strictly guard the body of Xuanxia's father, and ordered Tong Ronggong to find the bicycle that Xuanxia's father was riding and then dismantle the bicycle into parts and sell it, so as to completely eliminate the stolen goods, resulting in the disappearance of Xuanxia's father becoming a "headless public case" within thirteen years.

Former residence of Xuanxia's father

It was not until after the Kuomintang agent Tong Ronggong was arrested and after confessing the criminal facts of killing Xuanxia's father that he led the public security personnel to the scene to identify him, at this time the whereabouts of Xuanxia's father were revealed.

However, at this time, many years had passed since Xuanxia's father was killed, so that it was impossible to dig up xuanxia's father's body, and people renamed the village where he was born to Xiafu Village in order to commemorate Xuanxia's father's loyalty.

No one could have imagined that a patriotic general like Xuanxia Father, who was full of patriotic enthusiasm and bent on fighting on the battlefield to repel the invading enemy, did not bury his loyal bones on the battlefield in the end, but died at the hands of his teacher, but his heroic name should be remembered by us.
