In 1939, nanjing had been occupied for two years, and the city of Nanjing at this time was shrouded in the iron hooves of the Japanese Kou.
On the night of June 10, the piercing sirens pierced the night sky of Nanjing. Large groups of Japanese troops and puppet troops blocked the entrances and exits of Nanjing, and searched door to door.
What happened in the city of Nanjing?
It turned out that there was an accident at the Japanese consulate in Nanjing, and at the banquet held at the Japanese consulate that night, a number of Japanese officers and traitors drank poisoned wine, and vomiting, coma, and other poisoning phenomena occurred.
The two brothers Zhan Changlin and Zhan Changbing, who planned this great happy incident, were just ordinary civilian agents.
01 From "Servant" to Agent 65
Zhan Changlin was born in 1913 in a poor family in Nanjing, joined the army at the age of 15, and in 32 years. After the outbreak of the "28th Incident", he went with the army to Shanghai to participate in the war. Later, due to his mother's serious illness, he was allowed to return home to visit his family. After returning to Nanjing, Zhan Changlin's family was still poor. In 1934, Zhan Changlin was introduced by people to find a servant in the Japanese Consulate General who cleaned and distributed letters.

Soon after entering the Japanese consulate, the military commander (then called the Fuxing Society) recruited Zhan Changlin and asked him to lurk in the Japanese consulate as a secret agent, spy on intelligence, and monitor the movements of the Japanese. Zhan Changlin, who cherished his homeland, was attracted by the remarks of the military commander's iron blood to save the country and immediately agreed to join. Since then, Zhan Changlin has become an agent lurking inside the Japanese Consulate General, code-named 65.
Soon after, Zhan Changlin introduced his brother Zhan Changbing, who also wanted to do something for the country, to join the military command. Zhan Changbing also lurked in the Japanese consulate as a miscellaneous servant, and the brothers lurked for 5 years.
02 I want to avenge Chinese
On December 13, 1937, Nanjing fell. The Japanese Kou carried out a tragic massacre in Nanjing, and countless Nanjing citizens were killed. The Zhan brothers were spared their lives because they worked for the Japanese consulate, but the house they lived in was set on fire by Japanese soldiers, Zhan Changlin's wife was insulted, and his cousin's son was killed. The hatred of the country and the family is intertwined, and the Zhan family brothers are holding a momentum in their hearts, to take revenge, to avenge the Chinese!
The opportunity finally came.

In June 1939, zhan Changlin was cleaning up inside the Japanese Consulate General (which had been changed to the Japanese Embassy at the time, and for the sake of narrative convenience, this article is still called the Consulate General), he copied a Japanese letter and forwarded it to his superiors. I learned about it after translation
"Shimizu, Vice Minister of foreign affairs of Japan, and his attachés are going to the Consulate General to inspect the work." The superiors then asked the Zhan brothers to pay close attention to the developments.
On June 8, the Zhan brothers learned that the Japanese would hold a large cocktail party to welcome Shimizu on the evening of June 10, and that Lieutenant General Otsuzo Yamada, commander of the Japanese Central China Dispatch Army, Major General Yoshimoto, chief of staff, and Major General Suzuki Sosaku, deputy chief of staff, would attend the reception, as well as many traitors, including Liang Hongzhi and Wang Kemin. The Zhan brothers promptly reported this information to their superiors, who, after discussion, decided to seize this opportunity to carry out poisoning and prepare to poison the Japanese army and traitors in one fell swoop. To this end, a poisoning action group was specially set up, with special personnel responsible for different parts, some people responsible for overall planning, some people responsible for contacting the Zhan family brothers, some people responsible for passing poison, and some people responsible for retreating.
The specific poisoning work is carried out by Zhan Changlin.

At this cocktail party, the Japanese wanted to embody the common prosperity of Greater East Asia, so they specially requested the preparation of China's Shaoxing rice wine. whereas
Zhan Changbing was responsible for going to the old quan restaurant on Sanshan Street to buy rice wine. On the evening of June 9, Zhan Changbing handed the poison to his younger brother Zhan Changlin. Years later, Zhan Changlin recalled"
A finger-thick medicine bottle with the mark of USA and containing white powder. ”
On June 10, the superior arranged for everyone in the Zhan family to eat a reunion dinner at an outside restaurant, and the Zhan family brothers were very worried about this meal.
Naturally, the task could not be explained to the family, and I did not know whether I would be able to see my family again.
After the meal, the Zhan family left Nanjing by boat under the protection of the agents. The Zhan brothers went to the Japanese consulate on a mission.
At noon that day, Zhan Changlin, who was in charge of poisoning, poured the poison powder into the bottle, shook it, and hid the bottle in a place that was not easily touched by others. Wait until the feast is over.

After the banquet began, because there were not enough people, Zhan Changlin was also called from the kitchen to help serve wine and food. Zhan Changlin took the opportunity to bring the already mixed poisonous wine to the wine table and fill all the wine glasses with poisonous wine. Zhan Changlin personally saw the Japanese traitors start drinking before leaving the venue on the pretext of seeing a doctor with a stomachache. Then he rode to Fu Hougang to meet his brother, and the two brothers rushed to the riverside of YanzijiJi doushan, and arrived in Jiangbei smoothly under the assistance of special agents Liu Yuqing, Mao Lantian, Wang Gaoke and others.
More than 10 minutes after the Zhan brothers left the consulate, the Japanese traitors in the venue were poisoned and fell to the ground. The wine banquet was suddenly chaotic, everyone's tongue was numb, the expression was demented, and there were different degrees of poisoning. However, it is a pity that the senior Officers of the Japanese Army who were scheduled to arrive on that day did not arrive.
Only two Japanese consulate staff were poisoned. And many traitors are also because of the Japanese territory, more restrained, drink not much poisoned wine, but also after sending a doctor to retrieve a life.
Subsequently, the Japanese army soon found the missing Zhan family brothers and searched for them in the city of Nanjing. But by this time the brothers and their families had fled Nanjing.
03 After retreating from the whole body, the hero is willing to be ordinary
Although the Zhan family brothers did not achieve the goal of poisoning and killing high-ranking Japanese officials in the end, the Japanese puppet deliberately concealed it. But the brothers' deeds are still
Not shin
The anti-Japanese army and people were excited by it and dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese and pseudo-traitors.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, the family returned to Nanjing. In recognition of Zhan Changlin's heroic performance, the government rewarded him with 50,000 yuan and a silver shield for "loyal and courageous to kill the enemy".
The Zhan brothers used the prize money to open a hotel and a restaurant, but rarely mentioned their heroic deeds in that year. Later brother
