One day in August 1957, Xu Yongqing, who had served as a guard for General Xu Shiyou, came to Shanghai because of the need for a business trip.
When Xu Yongqing came to the streets of Shanghai and looked at the traffic around him, he sighed in his heart, but just when Xu Yongqing was ready to leave, he suddenly saw a person!
Xu Yongqing had been working underground before serving as a guard for General Xu Shiyou, so he had contact with a large number of enemy agents, including a Japanese spy, which made Xu Yongqing remember deeply.
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Xu Yongqing has been tracking down the whereabouts of this person, but the information has not been clear, some people say that he has been repatriated, and some say that he has been executed.
Xu Yongqing also gradually gave up the pursuit because of the complicated news, but just now, Xu Yongqing seemed to have seen the Japanese spy again!
In order to be able to confirm that he was not dazzled, so Xu Yongqing chased after him again and looked carefully, and finally Xu Yongqing's face changed greatly, and the person walking not far away was indeed the Japanese spy!
Still
This made Xu Yongqing very worried in his heart, in order not to fight the grass and snake, Xu Yongqing did not follow up, but only reported the matter to his former superior, General Xu Shiyou.
So who is this Japanese spy who makes Xu Yongqing remember deeply? Why was this spy still on the mainland after the founding of New China? What purpose does he have?
Let's take a closer look at this historical past and explore the story behind this spy.
Since the defeat of the Qing Dynasty in the Opium War, the Western powers have targeted the Qing Dynasty one after another, forcibly occupying China's territory one after another, forcing China to gradually degenerate into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country.
At the same time, in order to dismember China's influence in East Asia, western powers have attacked East Asian countries by force in an attempt to implement their own colonial rule.
France has targeted Vietnam, while the United States has targeted Japan, an island nation with extremely scarce resources and a long history of accepting the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty.
However, in the face of the strong guns of the United States, Japan was also forced to open its doors, and Japan, which was impacted by Western ideas, decided to be angry and strong.
So Japan began the "Meiji Restoration", Japan sent a large number of students to Europe to learn Western systems, culture, technology and other aspects.
In particular, the "empire that never sets" at that time, Britain, became the target of Japan's yearning, and as an island country, Japan was very envious of Britain's strength.
As a result, many of Japan's political systems were modeled after Britain, and Japan soon became a great power through the Meiji Restoration, and also negotiated the abolition of all unequal treaties signed with the Western powers.
As Japan grew richer and stronger, it also began to show its wolf ambitions, and they began to learn from the Western powers, targeting its former suzerainty, the Qing Dynasty.
In 1894, taking advantage of the outbreak of civil war in Korea, Japan openly sent a large number of troops to invade Korea and began to implement the "mainland policy" that Japan had been circulating for more than three hundred years.
The first step is to invade and occupy the Korean Peninsula as a springboard for invading China; the second step is to conquer northeast China, establish colonial rule in northeast China, and deliver materials to Japan; the third step is to launch an all-out war of aggression against China, destroy the Chinese nation, and colonize all of China.
In order to achieve this goal, Japan has been making preparations since the Meiji Restoration, while secretly actively accumulating strength, and at the same time sending many Japanese to China to spy on intelligence.
After the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War, Japan successfully sneaked into the Qing Dynasty's troop carriers, and then Li Hongzhang gave up his dominant position in order to preserve his strength, avoid war and protect ships, resulting in the Successful Annihilation of the Beiyang Fleet by the Japanese Navy and the defeat of the Qing Dynasty.
In order to seek peace, the Qing Dynasty, at the request of the Japanese government, sent Li Hongzhang to Japan as an ambassador for peace talks, and the peace talks finally signed the Treaty of Maguan, which humiliated the country.
Japan took this opportunity to obtain huge war reparations from the Qing Dynasty, and used this as a capital for Japan's rise to rapidly enhance Japan's national strength.
At the same time, Japan also took this opportunity to successfully implement the first step of the "Mainland Policy" plan, in order to better carry out the plan to invade China until the colonization of China.
Japanese militarism began to purposefully cultivate spies, because China and Japan belong to the same East Asian race, so it is difficult to distinguish between them from the appearance alone.
Japanese Women
Therefore, Japanese militarism recruited a large number of children, and began to cultivate their militaristic ideas from an early age, instilling in them the so-called "Bushido spirit".
This plan has been carried out in secret since the end of the Sino-Japanese War, and after Japan launched the "July 7 Incident", the Japanese military began to recruit more soldiers in Japan.
At this time, a Japanese named Kiyoshi Kawashita was conscripted into the army, and Kiyoshi Kawashita was born in 1915 to a peasant family in Japan.
Since childhood, Kiyoshi Kawashita was very intelligent and had a strong ability to learn, but in the environment at that time, Kiyoshi Kawashita was also influenced by Japanese militarist ideas and became a staunch militarist, always thinking of "being loyal to the emperor".
After Japan began a large-scale conscription, Kiyoshi Kawashita also received a "wartime summons order" and went to serve in the Japanese army.
Because of the strong learning ability of Kawashita Tani kiyoshi, during the training of recruits,
Kawashita Tani kiyoshi's achievements were very good, so he directly served as a superior soldier after training.
In 1939, because of his outstanding performance in the Chinese battlefield, Hexia Guqing was recommended to the "North China Military Police Command Teaching Team" in Beiping for further study.
Since then, Kawashita Tani Kiyoshi has become a highly regarded spy, and during the study of the teaching team, Kawashita Tani Kiyoshi studied extremely hard in order to be able to set foot on the battlefield again as soon as possible.
Not only did he firmly grasp every secret agent skill taught by the instructors of the teaching team, but he also did his best to search and study Chinese history, literature, Kuomintang history, Communist Party history, etc.
Japanese spies
After more than a year of in-depth training, Kiyoshi Kawashita officially became a Japanese spy with strong professional ability and a deeper understanding of China's history.
As a result, the Japanese army began to use HexiaGuqing, because at that time, the Chinese anti-Japanese forces developed extremely rapidly, giving the Japanese army a major blow.
As a result, Japan was trapped in the Battlefield of China and could not extricate itself.
In order to suppress China's anti-Japanese armed forces, Japan used a large number of spies, who stole intelligence in various ways behind their backs, posing a serious threat to China's anti-Japanese forces.
In order to be able to carry out the task given to him by the Japanese spy agency in order to be able to carry out better, he decided to play a "drama" with the Jinan Special High School at that time to deceive the anti-Japanese armed forces.
After consulting with his direct superior, Kono Yujiro, with the rank of major general, and the supreme commander of the Japanese army in Jinan Special High School, he decided to take the initiative to make a mistake.
Kawashita Kiyoshi deliberately angered Kono Yujiro, causing him to "assign" himself to work at the Japanese and puppet Jinan Railway Bureau, and also asked the Japanese military police department to officially issue a notice of his dismissal.
Therefore, until the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Hexia Guqing's identity on the surface was always "an ordinary employee of the Jinan Railway Bureau".
But this is only a cover-up for Hexia Guqing, who, after in-depth study, believes that if he wants to understand and master the anti-Japanese forces that have reached the destruction of China, he must "side" with them.
Therefore, Kawashita Tani Qing portrayed himself as a staunch anti-war activist, and used this to deceive China's resistance fighters, break into the interior of our army, steal intelligence, and plot against insiders.
At that time, Xu Yongqing was carrying out underground work in Jinan, and on this day Xu Yongqing received instructions from his superiors to post anti-Japanese propaganda slogans at Jinan Station.
However, because of the close monitoring of the Japanese army, Xu Yongqing's action could not be carried out for a long time, so Xu Yongqing also fell into a period of irritability.
At this time, Xu Yongqing suddenly heard about Hexia Guqing, and Xu Yongqing immediately made a preliminary judgment, thinking that he could try to contact Hexia Guqing to see if there could be any progress.
So one night, Xu Yongqing found an excuse to have a meeting with Hexia Guqing, and in this meeting, Hexia Guqing's performance was "excellent".
He showed a "staunch anti-war" image in front of Xu Yongqing, and also agreed to Xu Yongqing's request to post anti-Japanese slogans at the station on the spot.
With the help of Gu Qing under the river, Xu Yongqing quickly completed the task, and since this incident, Xu Yongqing has thought
"Kiyoshi Kawashita is a trustworthy and friendly person."
Therefore, Xu Yongqing made a special report to the superiors on the information of Hexia Guqing, and after receiving Xu Yongqing's report, the superiors also immediately issued instructions for further contact, hoping to unite Hexia Guqing to his side.
So Xu Yongqing interviewed Hexia Guqing again, and in this interview, Hexia Guqing told Xu Yongqing about his family.
He was born as a poor peasant in Japan and was severely exploited from an early age, so he was extremely disgusted with Japan's war policy.
The Japanese invasion of China
After the large-scale conscription in Japan, Kawashita Kiyoshi was forced to serve in the Japanese army in desperation, but he never did evil on the Chinese battlefield, but because he had rescued Chinese refugees, he was severely reprimanded by his superiors.
In order to "correct" their thinking, the Japanese army also sent themselves to professional schools for "brainwashing" education, but Kawashita Taniyoshi has always shown great resistance.
In the end, Because of his anti-war attitude, Hexiagu Qing was severely suppressed by his superiors and was eventually assigned to work in the Railway Bureau.
After listening to GuQing's words under the river, Xu Yongqing already had eight points of belief in his heart, so after meeting, Xu Yongqing passed this information on to his superiors.
However, in the wartime, it was too difficult to identify whether a person was lying, so it was difficult for the superiors to have a positive answer for a while, but xu Yongqing continued to contact.
So Xu Yongqing began to vigorously contact Hexia Guqing, and Hexia Guqing also sensed Xu Yongqing's deliberate contact, so he behaved more well.
After a period of investigation, Xu Yongqing was deceived by the anti-war image created by Hexia Guqing, coupled with this period,
Hexia Guqing has always been very supportive of Xu Yongqing's work, and has secretly helped many times.
Therefore, Xu Yongqing believed that Hexia Guqing could develop into "his own person", and also reported to his superiors, who also approved Xu Yongqing's actions.
Japanese spy
After this, Xu Yongqing also introduced comrades from our party's Jinan underground working group to Hexiaguqing, and at this time, Hexiaguqing finally achieved his wish and successfully broke into the underground organization of our party.
In order to better carry out espionage operations,
Hexiagu Qing also secretly formed a "Sino-Japanese Anti-War Youth Alliance" in order to deceive our Party and anti-Japanese figures.
Later, Kawashita Kiyoshi also established a "Yamon Sock Factory" as a Japanese businessman on the pretext of "providing a secret place for cover".
On the surface, this is just an ordinary factory, and Kiyoshi Kawashita also said to our party and anti-Japanese people that this is a "safety point" in the future and can provide cover for our party.
But in fact, this was a conspiracy carried out by Hexia Guqing and Jinan Special High School, and they used it to deceive a large number of anti-Japanese people into coming to the factory to escape the Japanese army's search.
After these anti-Japanese people arrived at the factory, Hexia Guqing would immediately secretly contact the Jinan Special High School to inform them of their temporary residence.
Therefore, many anti-Japanese people were arrested by the Japanese army because they were betrayed by Kawashita Kiyoshi, and the Japanese army used extremely cruel punishments in order to obtain information from these people.
Some people finally chose to betray because they really could not withstand the punishment of the Japanese army, but more people,
He was unwilling to let go from beginning to end, and was eventually killed by the Japanese army.
However, under the deliberate cover of the Special High School in Jinan, Japan, the identity of Kawashita Taniqing has not been suspected until an incident occurred, which made Xu Yongqing suspicious.
In the occupied areas at that time, there were not only underground workers of our party, but also many Kuomintang agents lurking, so Hexia Guqing not only had contacts with our party, but also had contacts with the Kuomintang.
In one contact, Kawashita Kiyoshi received information from a Kuomintang major general named Chen Xutang, who thought that the Kuomintang major general could rebel.
So he secretly contacted the major general through spies installed within the Kuomintang, and under the active persuasion of Hexia Guqing,
Chen Xutang eventually defected, which brought huge losses to China's anti-Japanese forces.
It was also because of this incident that Xu Yongqing sensed that something was wrong with Guqing under the river, and out of vigilance, Xu Yongqing reduced his communication with Guqing under the river.
However, what Xu Yongqing did not expect was that Hexiagu locked the target on himself early in the morning, so once Hexiaguqing tricked Xu Yongqing into the factory on the pretext of discussing the delivery of materials to the base area.
After learning that Xu Yongqing had come to the factory, Kawashita Taniqing immediately informed the Japanese gendarmerie, and then secretly arrested Xu Yongqing.
Hexia Valley Qing also specifically pointed out,
Xu Yongqing was a "staunch communist who recommended immediate execution",
Therefore, the Japanese gendarmes were ready to secretly execute Xu Yongqing according to the instructions of Kawashita Taniqing.
So they secretly took Xu Yongqing to the outskirts and prepared to shoot Xu Yongqing here, but the Japanese did not know that Xu Yongqing was a practicing family.
Although Xu Yongqing was born poor, his parents once sent Xu Yongqing to the Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts for a long time, so Xu Yongqing's kung fu is not bad.
He took advantage of the fact that the Japanese soldiers were not paying attention,
Immediately one foot knocked over a Japanese soldier, and then he flew forward regardless of life and death, knocking another Japanese soldier unconscious, and then got up and kicked the japanese soldier in front of him, and then successfully escaped.
After Xu Yongqing successfully escaped, he immediately reported to his superiors about Guqing under the river, revealing the true face of Guqing under the river, but Xu Yongqing could no longer return to Jinan to work underground.
So the superiors sent Xu Yongqing to Xu Shiyou's side, because Xu Yongqing's skills were indeed very good.
Therefore, soon Xu Shiyou transferred Xu Yongqing to his guard and served as a guard around him.
However, xu Yongqing's heart had always been thinking about how to hand blade Gu Qing and avenge the dead comrades.
However, at this time, the Japanese Army's Jinan Special High School also obviously realized that something was wrong, and some high-level officials in Japan also realized that the war was likely to end in defeat.
So some of the Japanese high-level officials began to plot plans after the defeat of the war, and they decided to continue the previous operation of cultivating spies, so Kiyoshi Kawashita appeared in their eyes.
In their view, Kiyoshi Kawashita has rich espionage experience and is extremely loyal to the "Emperor of Japan", plus Kiyoshi Kawashita also married a Chinese woman as a wife in order to hide his identity.
So the Japanese army is very satisfied with this,
So in 1943, Kiyoshi Kawashita received a secret order from the japanese military high command to return to Japan for the next step of training.
Since then, the Qing of the Lower Valley of the River has disappeared from China, which is also an important reason why no matter how Xu Yongqing investigates later, he cannot find the whereabouts of the Qing of the Lower Valley.
In August 1943, Kiyoshi Kawashita officially returned to Japan to study at the Special Agent Training Class of the Japanese Army Military Police School in Nakano-ku, Tokyo.
At the same time as Hexiagu Qing, as many as 137 people were trained! They conducted detailed training in skills such as espionage, reconnaissance, international law, forensics, photographic techniques, mechanical repair, etc.
After more than a year of training, Kawashita Kiyoshi officially completed, after which Kawashita Kiyoshi received instructions from the japanese military high-level.
"Lurk for three years, waiting for a counteroffensive."
At this time, the japanese high-level also fantasized about being able to counterattack China, complete the "mainland policy," and completely turn China into a Japanese colony.
After receiving this order, Hexia Guqing returned to China again under the secret arrangement of the Japanese army, and with the help of his Chinese wife, he purchased an identity document under the pseudonym "You Yuanzhi" from the Second Police Station of the Japanese and pseudo-Shanghai Special City.
Since then, Hexiagu Qing has been in and out of all walks of life in Shanghai as a Chinese, and Hexiagu Qing has therefore been lurking peacefully even after the founding of New China.
However, what Kawashita Kiyoshi did not expect was that after less than a year of secret lurking in his own secret, Japan announced its unconditional surrender, which made Kawashita Kiyoshi suddenly fall into a state of confusion.
Subsequently, the War of Liberation broke out, the Chiang Kai-shek clique fled to Taiwan in defeat, and New China was also proclaimed.
This also made Kawashita realize clearly that he was likely to become an "outcast".
So in order to survive, Hexia Guqing began to use the identity created before the war to make a living in Shanghai, during which time no one found out about The abnormality of Hexia Guqing.
Until 1957, Xu Yongqing came to Shanghai on a business trip, and on the streets of Shanghai, Xu Yongqing just found the figure of Gu Qing under the river.
After further identification, Xu Yongqing finally confirmed that he was Hexia Guqing, but at this time, Hexia Guqing had disappeared into the vast crowd.
This made Xu Yongqing feel very upset, so he informed his old superior, General Xu Shiyou, of this matter.
"You can't go wrong!" Xu Yongqing clenched his fists and said firmly.
Xu Shiyou
General Xu Shiyou believed Xu Yongqing's words, so he asked Xu Yongqing to write a detailed report, and then personally signed it and handed it to Ke Qingshi, secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee.
After receiving the documents sent by General Xu Shiyou, Ke Qingshi attached great importance to this, so he immediately issued instructions to form a special investigation team to arrest Guqing under the river.
Wu Yizhu, a criminal investigator in Shanghai, accepted the task, and they began to investigate from the prison and labor camp, and finally found a clue.
A Korean spy named Park Ru-chun,
The identity of Hexiagu Qing's wife was revealed to Wu Yizhu, so Wu Yizhu launched a further investigation.
In the end, after more than a year of investigation, Wu Yizhu successfully determined the location of Kawashita Tani Kiyoshi, who was clearly the owner of an electrical repair shop, but had restored contact with the Japanese side behind the scenes.
Therefore, Wu Yizhu immediately deployed an arrest operation, and finally successfully arrested him when he went out to buy vegetables once before Guqing under the river was ready to flee.
After Kawashita Taniyoshi was arrested, he refused to admit his espionage until our interrogators,
He showed General Xu Shiyou's letter to Hexiagu Qing, and Hexiagu Qingcai, intimidated by General Xu Shiyou's prestige, told him about his espionage crimes.
Japan Customs
Later, Kawashita Tani Kiyoshi was sentenced to life imprisonment, but because during his sentence, Kawashita Tani Kiyoshi came into contact with Buddhism and coupled with our party's propaganda, Kawashita Kiyoshi quickly realized his mistake and actively cooperated with the reform.
Due to Kawanetani's outstanding performance, in 1977, Kawashita Kiyoshi was released early and repatriated to Japan.
However, what Kiyoshi Kawashita did not expect was that after returning to Japan,
Inherited a family inheritance of up to a million dollars, and his wife also won the jackpot of tens of millions of dollars because of buying lottery tickets!
Later, Hexia Guqing used this money to invest in the stock market and soon became a big businessman with a net worth of hundreds of millions.
Therefore, in the days to come, Hexia Guqing has always been very grateful to Xu Shiyou, knowing that it was General Xu Shiyou who gave him this opportunity to change his destiny.
After hearing of the death of General Xu Shiyou, Kawashita Kiyoshi also took his wife and children to pay homage to General Xu Shiyou at his home in Japan.
