In the later stages of the Liberation War, the Kuomintang army was gradually defeated and retreated, and it was impossible to resist the Liberation Army, and at this time Chiang Kai-shek was already at the end of the road, but he also chose a place for himself to retreat before the defeat, that is, Taiwan.
Since he had chosen Taiwan, he had to run his own territory well, but at that time, Taiwan was poor and white, and Chiang Kai-shek transported many things from the area under his control to Taiwan, and in addition to money, a large amount of materials became Chiang Kai-shek's target, and he wanted to devote all of China's national strength to Taiwan, a land of bullets, so that our party could not only lack materials after the reunification of China, but also borrow these materials to develop Taiwan.
Under the operation of Chiang Kai-shek, gold, silver, U.S. dollar bills, etc. were continuously transported to Taiwan, in addition to these there are many machinery and equipment, vehicles, paper, cotton yarn, cloth, chemical raw materials, medicines, etc.
In a word, as long as there are useful things, all that can be moved can be moved to Taiwan.
Four months before the liberation of Shanghai, Chiang Kai-shek's smuggling work reached its maximum, just a week before the liberation of Shanghai, he also ordered his son Chiang Ching-kuo to return to Shanghai to grab a batch of materials, but when Chiang Kai-shek flew to Shanghai, he could not land due to the thick smoke and dust of the shell explosion, and could only return home in sorrow.
Chiang Kai-shek transported a total of 1,500 ships of supplies from Shanghai, not counting the materials and gold transported by planes.
The emptiing of Shanghai's wealth was Chiang Kai-shek's main goal, but in addition to that, he had a more important matter before he withdrew from Shanghai, on April 26, 1949, Chiang Kai-shek summoned Mao Renfeng, the director of the Secrecy Bureau, to Fuxing Island, and in his office he issued a special order to Mao Renfeng, which was special because this order had only one word, that is, "kill."
Although Chiang Kai-shek said a word, Mao Renfeng expressed his understanding, and then went down to make arrangements; in fact, on the eve of the fall of Nanjing, Mao Renfeng had suggested to Chiang Kai-shek that a special operations corps should be set up.
In Mao Renfeng's report, the main task of this newly established operational corps was to engage in arrest and massacre tasks and secretly sanction and eliminate dissidents. The primary targets were the Communists who could not be transferred, the "dissidents" who were unwilling to follow Chiang Kai-shek to Taiwan, and, secondly, some other party figures.
Chiang Kai-shek immediately approved Mao Renfeng's plan after listening to it.
He also instructed Mao Renfeng, the operational corps, to also carry out some major sabotage, robbery, assassination, and other operations before the great retreat.
Do everything in its power to create chaos for the unification of our Party and the whole country.
The first task of this action corps after its establishment was to arrest all the military and political leaders who refused to leave before the fall of Nanjing, and Chiang Kai-shek believed that all those who refused to go with him were scum of the party and the state, and that once Nanjing fell, it would certainly surrender, and those who did not listen to advice would be arrested.
However, the first mission after the formation of this action corps was lost, because all the personnel formed by Mao Renfeng were spies, but the People's Liberation Army crossed the Yangtze River to carry the momentum, and the agents were also afraid of their own lives, they did not carry out the arrest task first, but instead rushed to flee to Shanghai, and naturally Mao Renfeng's search and compensation plan could not be realized.
When Chiang Kai-shek learned that the plan was bankrupt, Mao Renfeng was furiously scolded, but to no avail, he could only increase the staffing and budget of 2,000 people for Mao Renfeng, and let him find some reliable people to form an action team.
This time Chiang Kai-shek summoned Mao Renfeng to inquire about his formation of the Special Operations Corps, and Chiang Kai-shek said to Mao Renfeng:
There are still some business circles, financial circles, celebrities, Congress deputies and legislators in Shanghai, etc., and it seems that they do not want to leave for such a long time, you have to monitor them, and immediately make a roster, and you must not leave them to the Communist Party.
Mao Renfeng expressed his understanding, and then asked Chiang Kai-shek and some people from the democratic parties who should deal with it in this way.
Chiang Kai-shek said:
Zhang Lan, Luo Longji, Shi Liang, and others are all in Shanghai, and we must monitor them all, and if there is any movement, we must directly arrest them; the work of the Shanghai Station of the Secrecy Bureau must persist to the end, and you must stay in Shanghai to personally supervise all matters.
Mao Renfeng quickly promised to persist to the end, and at the same time he also asked Chiang Kai-shek what to do with the people who were arrested, and Chiang Kai-shek looked at him and said coldly: Kill! Mao Renfeng immediately understood Chiang Kai-shek's determination, turned around and left.
After going back, Mao Renfeng deliberately transferred Shen Drunk back from Kunming with his right-hand ability and specially asked him to set up this action brigade, but after Shen Drunk returned, less than 50 people were selected from the list of hundreds of people provided by the Personnel Office, which made Mao Renfeng very dissatisfied, and the preparation speed of the action corps had been seriously delayed, he repeatedly urged Shen Drunk to solve it as soon as possible, and also said to Shen Drunk: In terms of saying that you can do this, you should learn from Du Great Wall of the Demolition Corps.
In 1948, Tang Enbo ordered the construction of a lot of reinforced concrete bunkers in Shanghai, and after the Battle of the River Crossing, it was found that many bunkers were built in the middle or behind the buildings, so that there was no way to shoot at the outside, and Chiang Kai-shek called Tang Enbo to the front and reprimanded him fiercely.
In order to clear the firing line, Chiang Kai-shek ordered that all public and private buildings within a kilometer of the set position should be demolished, blown up, and leveled, and that those who delayed execution should be severely punished, and those who obstructed them should be killed. The Shanghai Defensive Command soon drew up an evacuation plan, but many houses were destroyed because of the clearance of the strafing line.
The number of people evacuated from the buildings planned for demolition in the first phase alone was as high as 800,000.
Because of the large number of people involved, Chiang Kai-shek was afraid that these people would be used to create trouble in Shanghai, so he ordered Mao Renfeng to assist the guards in expelling the evacuated crowd, and Mao Renfeng took the order and then ordered the demolition corps to assist the military.
After receiving the order, Du Changcheng, the captain of the demolition brigade, led his agents to run around the city of Shanghai, wherever they went, they had to pick up a layer of skin, in order not to be dismantled, many people wanted to bribe the secret agents and the army commander, but the army people did not dare to collect money because they were ordered by Chiang Kai-shek, and Du Changcheng did not have this scruple.
He went to ask for bribes the first day, repeatedly promised not to demolish their houses, and immediately went to the next one after getting the money, but the next day he led the agents to blow up the houses of the bribe-takers, and those who were asked for money by him had no money and no houses, and if they tried to find him, they were beaten by his men, and the light fractures were killed.
Jiangnan Shipyard is also in the first batch of list to be ordered to be demolished, there are mainly three docks, is the key to the shipyard, the shipyard workers in order to prevent the dock from being destroyed, the method of releasing water to protect the dock, each dock is filled with water, the agents who went to carry out the task are dumbfounded, for a while at a loss.
Du Changcheng rushed to the scene after hearing the news, and ordered the agents to bundle explosives on the half-cut dock gate that was exposed to the water, and the upper half of the gate of the three docks weighing more than 200 tons was blown to pieces with a loud rumble. Mao Renfeng also praised Du Changcheng for this reason, saying: At the most difficult time, do not be discouraged by the changes in the situation.
Mao Renfeng felt that Shen Renfeng was very embarrassed and embarrassed, and he wanted to find someone again, so he set his sights on Mao Sen, the chief of the Shanghai Municipal Police, who was Mao Renfeng's distant nephew and was pulled up by him, known as "Mao Bone Sensen", known for his high efficiency and fierce heart.
Mao Renfeng said to Mao Sen:
The old man said, now there is a very important and of course very tricky thing, and no one can do it except you.
Please make it clear that no matter what, I will try my best to complete it!
Mao Renfeng said in a calm tone:
In the past, we were too kind to those democratic party figures and communists, and we still killed too few people, and the president summoned me this time to give a special account; Zhang Lan, Huang Yanpei, and others had completely surrendered to the enemy, and I heard that Zhang Bojun and Shi Liang were all ready to go to Hong Kong.
Soon, Zhang Lan, Luo Longji, and others were arrested by Mao Renfeng, and on May 7, Chiang Kai-shek arrived in Shanghai, seeing that the great rivers and mountains were about to be handed over, Chiang Kai-shek could not help but get angry from the bottom of his heart, he found Mao Renfeng to let him sanction Soong Qingling as soon as possible, but for some reason he missed the wind, Sun Ke, Soong Meiling, and others came forward to block it, Chiang Kai-shek could only give up, but the only person who could make Chiang Kai-shek stop was Soong Qingling, and the others still had to be arrested.
After the People's Liberation Army attacked Shanghai, there was a panic in all circles in Shanghai, and Mao Renfeng knew that Shanghai would not be able to hold for long, so he found Wang Fangnan, the station chief of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, handed him a list, and said: Look at it, these people above are gone, and all those who have not left will tell Mao Sen to arrest me.
At Mao Renfeng's suggestion, Mao Sen led people to rampage through all walks of life in Shanghai, full of armed military policemen, the whole of Shanghai was full of blood, hundreds of people were arrested in detention centers every day, and people were also killed every day.
The leaders of the factory protection team such as the Seventh Factory of China Textile were arrested one after another, and the Kuomintang military police and agents rushed into the factory in armored vehicles; in the First Wool Textile Factory, the agents tried to arrest the person in charge of the protective factory team, and the workers did not allow the two sides to clash, and even some workers directly lay in front of the wheels of the armored vehicle, and they could not stop the agents from arresting people.
In the last month before the liberation of Shanghai, the gunfire of executioners slaughtered in Shanghai was almost every day.
By the time Mawson fled on May 20, he had massacred nearly 4,000 people in Shanghai, including Qin Hongluo, Zhang Qiaozhai, Li Bai, and other Communists.
Mao Sen, who had escaped from Shanghai, then went to Fujian and was appointed by Chiang Kai-shek as the commander of the Xiamen Garrison, Lieutenant General, and during his time in Xiamen, Mao Sen committed numerous crimes.
Because the Kuomintang rule was unpopular, many students were arrested by Mao Sen for various reasons for saying a few bad things about the Kuomintang, many of them teachers and students of Xiamen University, and more than 100 people were imprisoned in a small prison, and each person's bed was only one foot wide when they slept at night.
One night, when a 15-year-old apprentice of a car repairman was riding his bicycle home, he was driving the bicycle lights because it was too dark, and on the way he encountered a speeding car, and because he avoided the rush to swing the front of the car to the side, he inadvertently found the headlights on the face of the person in the car.
It turned out that the person sitting inside was the murderous demon king Mao Sen, and the child was subsequently arrested and taken to the Xiamen Police Headquarters, and Mao Sen also charged him with "plotting to assassinate", using various torture devices to beat him and put him in prison.
On the eve of the liberation of Xiamen, Tang Enbo gave Mao Sen an order that "it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let go of one person", Mao Sen led people to carry out the order, many people were interrogated and never returned to prison, on the day Mao Sen escaped, he also took his men to the back mountain to hang, the means were quite cruel.
On the afternoon of October 15, 1949, the Third Field Army of the People's Liberation Army launched a battle to cross the sea and attack Xiamen with the strength of five divisions. At this time, the invincible Mao Sen was lost, and he knew that Xiamen, a land of bullets, was difficult to hold, so he fled to Zengcuo'an in a hurry, boarded the warship that had long been anchored here, and fled to Taiwan, ending his atrocities on the mainland.
