During the War of Resistance Against Japan, our Party also faced many dangerous situations of life and death, but in the end they all turned the danger into a disaster, which was inseparable from the life-saving information provided by our red agents, for example, at a high-level meeting of the New Fourth Army in late October 1942.
Because of the existence of infidelity in our army, we revealed to the Japanese army about the meeting of the high-level of the New Fourth Army, and also informed the Japanese army of the route of the return of those generals, so that Su Yu and others who were holding a meeting fell into crisis at the same time.
Early experience
In fact, in the two boxes of old fort cigarettes that Su Yu received at that time, there was important intelligence collected by Shi Yafu, so after Su Yu received the information, he immediately asked people to inform the generals who were about to go home and ask them to re-plan the route home, which helped everyone escape the disaster, so who was Shi Yafu who was able to collect such important intelligence?
To understand Shi Yafu, we need to first understand his early life, Shi Yafu was born in 1914, only 14 years old to participate in the Rugao Uprising, 16 years old to join the Communist Party, is a very legendary hero. After joining our party, the party organization arranged for him to infiltrate into the nationalist army, and through Shi Yafu's efforts, he became the senior leader of the Nineteenth Route Army of the nationalist army, which can also be regarded as a complete penetration into the Kuomintang.
Unfortunately, in 1933, Because of the betrayal of the traitors, Shi Yafu was arrested and imprisoned by the Kuomintang and imprisoned in Zhenjiang Prison, where Shi Yafu suffered all kinds of cruel torture by the Kuomintang, but he still did not change his faith in the revolution in his heart, and he was unwilling to reveal any information about our party from beginning to end.
The Kuomintang had no way to deal with him, so they kept him in Zhenjiang Prison, when Li Shiqun and Shi Yafu were locked up, and the two met because of this, but later the development of the two was a completely different ending, Shi Yafu maintained his faith in the revolution, and Li Shiqun constantly betrayed the organization, and eventually became a traitor that everyone shouted and beat.
During this time in Zhenjiang Prison, Shi Yafu began to learn cultural knowledge with some of his fellow prisoners to pass the time of boredom, and in this way, Shi Yafu unknowingly stayed in prison for four years, until the outbreak of the Songhu War in 1937, Shi Yafu's life ushered in a turning point.
At that time, the Japanese planes bombed Nanjing, on the night of August 24, the Japanese bomb landed over the prison, in the blink of an eye the prison was destroyed, the guards all cried wolf and left, Shi Yafu woke up from a ruin, found that the prison had been blown up, and the guards were gone, Shi Yaf shouted, telling the prison mates to seize the time to escape, everyone rushed to the world outside the prison, Shi Yaf finally got out of the tragic life in prison.
After escaping from prison, Shi Yafu went through all kinds of hardships and finally found Gu Wenxian, secretary of the Central County CPC Committee of Nantong, to report, and Gu Wenxian arranged a new task for Shi Yafu, asking him to pull up a team in his hometown to participate in the anti-Japanese resistance.
If it were an ordinary person, it was obviously impossible to pull up a team with only one gun, but Shi Yafu was not an ordinary person at all, and after he got this gun, he prepared a batch of civilian clothes to change guns with those Kuomintang deserters who urgently needed civilian clothes to protect their lives, and soon got seventy or eighty guns and a batch of bullets.
Relying on these weapons, Shi Yafu began to call on people to join him in fighting the devils, and soon pulled up an anti-Japanese team with two or three hundred people, and then he continued to alternately use the titles of "Defending the Earth Regiment" and "Independent Regiment" to continuously enhance the strength of the team, and created a feeling that he was very powerful, so that the enemy was completely confused about Shi Yaf's true strength.
Penetrate into the enemy's interior
As the troops pulled up by Shi Yaf continued to grow, the situation also changed to a certain extent, Wang Jingwei established a Wang puppet government in early 1940, established a puppet army to help the Japanese fight, at the beginning of the establishment, they urgently needed to have a living force to join, at this critical moment, the organization gave Shi Yafu a difficult task, that is, to break into the wang puppet government, in order to collect more valuable intelligence.
In that era of relatively slow information flow, the two armies were at war, the most important thing was intelligence collection, once they could grasp the key intelligence of the other side, they could play a vital role, and even sometimes a small intelligence could save everyone from danger, and you can imagine how arduous Shi Yaf's task was at that time.
Since he had already done relevant work before, he knew very well that if he wanted to penetrate into the enemy and collect important intelligence, then he must have a certain strength in himself, so that after joining the other side, he could become a higher-level general, and only by becoming a higher-level general could he master more important information.
At that time, Shi Yafu only had a team of two or three hundred people, and if he joined the Wang puppet government on such a scale, at best he could only get a regimental commander position, and such a position could not obtain more information, so the most important thing for Shi Yafu was to expand the size of the team.
Of course, it is unrealistic to want to expand the size of the team in a short period of time, so Shi Yafu thought of a shortcut, that is, bluffing, finding an accompaniment, helping himself to create opportunities, so that after breaking into the enemy's interior, he can become a senior general.
Qian Feng and Yang Zhonghua, a senior general in the Wang puppet government, were former Huangpu classmates, and although Qian Feng was now idle at home, he had one of the biggest shortcomings, that is, he loved money as his life, so Shi Yafu found Qian Feng, gave him a large amount of benefit fees, explained his intentions, and hoped that he and Yang Zhonghua would communicate with him, let him join the Wang puppet government, and hold an important position, as long as he became the division commander, let Qian Feng serve as the deputy division commander.
Shi Yafu's method really worked, and soon Qian Feng went to find Yang Zhonghua to talk about this matter, Yang Zhonghua promised to meet with Shi Yafu, and after meeting with Shi Yafu, he asked Shi Yafu how many people and horses there were, and Shi Yafu immediately said that there were more than 8,000 horses, but it was relatively scattered and difficult to gather in a short period of time, Yang Zhonghua believed Shi Yafu's statement and reported the matter to the Japanese advisers.
After Yang Zhonghua returned, Shi Yafu immediately posted various notices in Nantong City in the name of Shi Yafu, commander of the pseudo-appeasement Seventh Division, which attracted wang Jingwei's attention, Wang Jingwei sent his close associate Yan Xunnan to find out, Shi Yafu warmly received Yan Xunnan, and deliberately staged a good play, when Yan Xunnan proposed to ask Shi Yafu to gather the army, he suddenly heard gunshots outside the door, Shi Yafu said that it was the New Fourth Army in action, which frightened Yan Xunnan, and when Shi Yafu asked him if he wanted to go out to see the troops, Yan Xunnan was already frightened Ask Shiyaf to hand in the roster of soldiers in the army.
In this way, Shi Yafu cleverly deceived everyone, and then found a hundred families to randomly make up a roster of eight thousand soldiers and handed it to Wang Jingwei, which won Wang Jingwei's trust and appointed him as the commander of the lieutenant general's division, and from then on, Shi Yafu officially broke into the enemy.'
Play an important role in critical moments
After breaking into the enemy's interior, Shi Yafu got along well with Wang Jingwei's son Wang Wennian and others, and had a very good relationship, and later gained Wang Jingwei's trust and appreciation, and gained a firm foothold within the enemy.
Relying on such an operation, after the Japanese army formulated the "clearing the countryside" plan in 1942, Jiang Songping told Shi Yafu about the important information he had obtained, and then Shi Yafu told this important information to the Soviet Central Military Region and asked them to readjust their strategy.
Toward the end of the Nankan Conference, Nobuo Kobayashi, a regimental commander of the Japanese 60th Division, suddenly convened an emergency meeting of senior Japanese and puppet generals to discuss plans to kill the generals of the New Fourth Army.
In this plan, Shi Yafu saw that the return route of the senior generals of our army was clearly and clearly marked on the top, and at that time Shi Yafu felt that there must be an internal traitor in our army, so he deliberately questioned that this information was probably inaccurate, after all, the east and north of Nankan were near the sea, and once they were ambushed, it could be said that it was difficult to escape, so how could the Communist Party choose that kind of place to hold a high-level leadership meeting?
In the face of Shi Yafu's questioning, Kobayashi Nobuo bluntly said that the intelligence was sent by the intelligence commissioner trained by the special high-tech department, which must be accurate, and shi Yafu was sure that there were indeed traitors in our army, so After the emergency meeting, Shi Yafu wrote a note explaining that the Japanese army had ambushed and wanted to kill the senior generals of our army, and also said that there were internal traitors in our army, and after writing it, he put it into two boxes of old fort cigarettes and sent it to Su Yu.
Just after the Nankan Conference, Su Yu received urgent information from Shi Yafu, and then immediately arranged for the soldiers to chase down the senior generals who had left and told them to change the route home, which cleverly evaded the ambush of the Japanese army and finally turned the danger into a disaster, and the traitors in our army were eventually found and shot by Su Yu.
As Shi Yaf became more and more active, the Japanese army became suspicious of him, demoted him to deputy division commander, and changed his attitude towards him greatly, seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, and finally Shi Yafu could only apply to return to the New Fourth Army, and after receiving the approval of Su Yu and others, Shi Yafu led an uprising on January 5, 1944, and returned to the New Fourth Army.
epilogue
Returning to the New Fourth Army, Schyaf continued to play an important role, adding more exciting stories to his legendary life. On November 23, 2010, Shi Yafu died of illness in Nanjing at the age of 96, although he has left us, but his legend has been passed down through the ages!
