In the years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in modern times, what we hate the most is the enemies who hindered the founding of New China, and the kind of people who became traitors in the modern War of Resistance. Traitors are more hateful than the enemy, so these traitors often have a period of combat experience in our side, have a certain understanding of our side, and even have some confidential documents.
The information they had after defecting gave the enemy the ability to inflict more damage on our side. So traitors are hateful, and some people often choose to become traitors because they are selfish and selfish just for their own happiness.
Among them, Wang Jifang was such a person, who became a traitor in the Liberation War and leaked many important secrets of our army to the Kuomintang.
That was also the most serious leak in the Liberation War, which led to the defeat of our army and forced to change the code of the telegram.
The Battle of Siping was defeated
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Japanese army was completely driven out of China. In early 1946, Soviet troops also began to withdraw from the northeast. At that time, the northeast was not only fertile land, but also the most important industrial base. Therefore, both our Party and the Kuomintang want to occupy it first.
Shortly after the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, our army mobilized 100,000 troops to advance into the northeast and also sent Lin Shuai, who was experienced in combat. At the same time, the Kuomintang army also successively invested in the 13th Army, the 52nd Army, the New 1st Army, the New 6th Army, and the 71st Army, and Chiang Kai-shek also specially sent Du Yuming, an outstanding general of the Kuomintang, to go.
At that time, the equipment of the Kuomintang was far superior to that of the People's Liberation Army, so under the leadership of Lin Shuai, our Northeast Democratic Coalition Army was repulsed until Siping. After siping, the Party Central Committee instructed that there must be no further retreat. Therefore, Lin Shuai decided to launch a fierce battle with the Nationalist army, after which the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army and the Kuomintang army fought for more than half a month.
During that period, Du Yuming also used a sinister trick, and during the battle, he deliberately released the signal that he was going to Shanghai for treatment due to illness, and quietly arrived in Benxi, leading the New 6th Army and the 52nd Army to attack the main force of our South Manchuria Military Region.
Therefore, at that time, the defenders of the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army in Siping could be said to have been attacked by the Kuomintang army back and forth, and Lin Shuai also knew that it was meaningless to resist any longer, so he chose to retreat in order to preserve his strength.
Deliberately leak secrets, defeated soldiers
Later, Lin Shuai led the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army to evacuate to the Songhua River area, at which time Lin Shuai predicted that Du Yuming would not dare to lead the Kuomintang army to continue to pursue. Because Du Yuming already knew that there were more than 6,000 Soviet plainclothes troops in the Northeast Democratic United Army, if another conflict injured the Soviet plainclothes team, it would definitely cause international disputes. Therefore, he predicted that Du Yuming would not dare to take such a risk.
In addition, Du Yuming had just won Siping, and his soldiers were already tired in the long battle, so they should rest according to the convention. However, Du Yuming very unusually continued to lead the army to pursue.
Therefore, Lin Shuai, who had a wealth of experience, was sensitive to the fact that there should be an internal ghost in the army, and then silently asked people to inquire about this matter. It was soon discovered that while retreating from Siping, Wang Jifang, deputy chief of the Operations Section, was missing near Lishutun in Lishu County.
But Lin Shuai did not think that Wang Jifang was the one who leaked the secret. Because Wang Jifang can be said to be a veteran member of the Chinese Communist Party, he joined the Red Army at the age of 14 and passed the Long March with difficulty. He also performed very well in the War of Resistance Against Japan, during which time he never found any ideological problems.
During Lin Shuai's tenure as president of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, Wang Jifang was also an instructor at the Anti-Japanese University. Therefore, Lin Shuai attached great importance to him, so he made him the deputy chief of the war section.
Although the post of deputy section chief of the war section is not a high position in the military, it is very critical, because he will go through many important confidential documents and need to arrange a particularly trustworthy person, so Lin Shuai can never believe that Wang Jifang is the suspected ghost, and also thinks that he is left behind or sacrificed.
Soon, Lin Shuai received a surprised news - Wang Jifang had become a major general in the Nationalist Army. It was Lin Shuai who really believed that Wang Jifang had leaked secrets in the army.
In fact, Wang Jifang had already had the intention of defecting to the Kuomintang side, and a week before he was about to retreat from Siping, he had begun to make preparations quietly, and had placed his belongings in the homes of the people little by little, so that his comrades-in-arms with him had never noticed any abnormal behavior.
When the troops decided to retreat, he also made a special excuse not to retreat with the troops. Instead, it quietly came to Liao Yaoxiang's New Sixth Army to surrender. In order to be reused by the Kuomintang, he also carried many confidential materials of the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army at that time.
Therefore, Du Yuming was well aware of our army's retreat plan, so Du Yuming did not dare to continue to pursue our army as Lin Shuai predicted, but instead showed great certainty.
Du Yuming sent a mechanized force to catch up with the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army, so it quickly caught up with the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army. In the end, the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army, which was not too prepared and slightly under-equipped, was also scattered many times, and the number of casualties of our army during the retreat was as high as 8,000.
In order to prevent Du Yuming from continuing to obtain military instructions from our side, Lin Shuai immediately issued an order: "Change the password!" ”
After that, the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army did not shake off the enemy until it crossed the Songhua River.
After a short life, he was finally executed
Therefore, that serious leak caused the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army to lose thousands of miles and suffer heavy damage, and then Lin Shuai learned that Wang Jifang chose to defect to the Kuomintang because of a woman.
During the northeast people's autonomous army headquarters stationed in Lishutun, Lishu County, Jilin Province, 27-year-old Wang Jifang met the daughter of the landlord's landlord, who was very fond of her gentle and virtuous in her early years, and the landlord's daughter also admired Wang Jifang.
Therefore, the two had secretly fallen in love, but because Wang Jifang's own conditions were too poor, the woman's family did not agree to marry her daughter to him. The other woman was the daughter of a landlord, and the organization would certainly not agree.
At that time, Wang Jifang, who fell in love, was gradually blinded by love and rebelled. In addition, at that time, the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army did not perform very well during the battle, which made Wang Jifang make up his mind to surrender to the enemy.
Wang Jifang, who had surrendered to the enemy with important military information, was also rewarded by the Kuomintang and was also named a "major general senator" by the Kuomintang.
He was even more handsomely paid, and a month after his defection, he also married the landlady's daughter in the presence of the Kuomintang.
Later, Wang Jifang was also transferred to the Kuomintang military command to engage in secret service work. After the end of the Liberation War, the Kuomintang fled to Taiwan, and Wang Jifang did not follow the Kuomintang to Taiwan, but quietly returned to Chongqing with his wife.
At that time, Wang Jifang was still notorious, so when he returned to Chongqing, he was also recognized and captured, and the previous Northeast Field Army heard that Wang Jifang had been captured, and also strongly demanded that Wang Jifang be executed.
In the end, Wang Jifang was shot, and Wang Jifang, who was shot at that time, only his wife collected the body for him.
brief summary:
During the crucial period of the Liberation War, Wang Jifang chose to betray for his own personal happiness, and what is even more hateful is that Wang Jifang betrayed Lin Shuai's trust, and after defecting to the Kuomintang, he also carried a large amount of military secret materials with us, and even informed the Kuomintang of our telegram password.
This allowed Du Yuming to know our retreat plan, and then made sufficient countermeasures so that the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army was repeatedly scattered by the Kuomintang troops during the retreat, and eventually suffered heavy losses. On the other hand, Wang Jifang, on the other hand, relied on the military secrets stolen from our side to gain the favor of the Kuomintang, and also married the woman he liked, and then lived for a while.
Although Wang Jifang became a traitor in the Liberation War, he alone still did not change the fact that the Chinese Communist Party would eventually establish a new China. After the Chinese Communist Party won the victory in the Liberation War, Wang Jifang, a traitor, was also shot, and if he had not defected, Wang Jifang would have been awarded the corresponding rank after the founding of the country, and he would have met better women.
However, there is no if in the world, and his wrong choice also makes his ultimate failure.
