One day in 1990, the 78-year-old Liang Huan got up, pulled out today's newspaper from the newspaper box outside the door, and began to read while eating breakfast. This is the habit of the old man who can't move, for decades, but today is different, the old man read and read, and suddenly shed tears.
Liang Zhongyu, the son who was sitting at the dinner table, rushed forward to wipe his tears for his father, and he did not understand how his father, who never shed tears easily, could cry out when he read the newspaper. Taking over today's newspaper, Liang Zhongyu saw that the headline of today's newspaper was printed with an article titled "In Search of the Little Heroes who Broke the South China Operation in 1953."
After wiping away the tears,
The old man said: "After so many years, my identity can finally be made public."
So, what is the real identity of the old man Liang Huan? What kind of relationship does he have with the newspaper articles, and why do the old people hide their identities for so many years?
Secretly called, Liang Chu secret service
Everything in the story needs to start from 1949, when New China was just founded and the Kuomintang reactionaries were defeated and retreated to Taiwan, but the enemy's heart was not dead, and a large number of spies were still lurking in the coastal areas near Taiwan, and they had repeatedly planned to carry out terrorist attacks on our country.
Since Guangdong Province had just been liberated, and the area was only a river away from Hong Kong, which had not yet returned, and because Hong Kong was under British rule at that time, all the European and American spies and Kuomintang agents entered the Chinese mainland from Hong Kong. At that time, the coastal cities within Guangdong Province became the scope of fierce battles between the enemy and us.
On the one hand, the enemy is constantly infiltrating us and waiting for an opportunity to plan terrorist activities. On the other hand, our staff should reconnoiter, find clues to these enemies, and arrest them before they carry out terrorist attacks.
At that time, Shenzhen was only a small fishing village, with a population of no more than 5,000 people, but it was such a small place that became the first line of battle between the enemy and us, only because there was a bridge less than 100 meters in the area, Luohu Bridge, which connected Hong Kong's New Territories and Shenzhen's Luohu Bridge. There are a group of porters who walk between the two places all year round.
Responsible for stationing in Shenzhen is the 30th Border Guard Public Security Regiment of the People's Liberation Army, and the main task of this unit is to reconnoiter the enemy's situation and find out Kuomintang agents and spies. In order to complete the tasks assigned by the organization,
A staff officer named Xu Zhan of the 30th Regiment proposed that he take the initiative to send a special agent to break into the enemy's interior and take down the enemy's gang in one fell swoop.
And the goal of the secret service naturally fell on the porter,
There are two reasons, the first is that this group of porters just meets the needs of the Kuomintang agents to transmit information, and the second is that the porters are ordinary and have no temperament of soldiers and policemen, so they are not easy to be suspected.
Soon, a porter named Liang Chu entered the sight of Xu Zhan's staff officer. Liang Chu was a porter, but before liberation he was a oppressed commoner, and his brother was sold because his family was poor. It was not until, after liberation, that Liang Chu's family slowly lived a good life.
After a long period of observation, Xu Zhan found that this person was a perfect secret service seed.
On the one hand, Liang Chu was witty and brave, good at responding to opportunities, and meeting the requirements of being a secret agent; on the other hand, Liang Chu had deep feelings for our party and would not be rebelled against by the enemy.
So Xu Zhan's staff officer found Liang Chu and told him the idea of wanting him to be a secret agent and break into the enemy's interior.
Liang Chu agreed to be able to do things for the government, and he knew that he could now live a good life, all thanks to the help of the people's government. So when Xu Zhan found him, Liang Chu did not hesitate for a moment, and after a three-month training,
Liang Chu officially became a special agent of the 30 regiment's reconnaissance team, and the direct contact with him was Xu Zhan's staff officer.
His other information is kept confidential and is not accessible to anyone.
In 1953, after a long period of latent observation, Liang Chu finally found a suspicious person, this person's name
Zhang Fuzhi
According to Cheung, he is a man who works in casinos, but it is strange that he often appears in the New Territories and deals with some porters in the mainland.
Liang Chu soon reflected this person to Xu Zhan, and under the operation of the powerful state apparatus, Xu Zhan quickly confirmed that Zhang Fuzhi was the station chief of the Kuomintang's secret service station lurking in Hong Kong. Therefore, Xu Zhan immediately ordered Liang Chu to take the initiative to approach Zhang Fuzhi and penetrate into the enemy.
Liang Chu was very confused when he received the task, he did not know which way to contact Zhang Fuzhi, after all, Zhang Fuzhi was a professional secret agent, and Liang Chu's hasty approach would definitely arouse his vigilance. Coincidentally, Zhang Fuzhi was preparing to recruit new talents at this time, and Liang Chu was one of his targets.
The two quickly became friends after intentional contact between the two sides. One day Zhang Fuzhi took the initiative to find Liang Chu, who came to Hong Kong to carry goods, and said to Liang Chu: "You can make a few dollars by moving goods every day, and if you are tired and tired, you will definitely be sick in your old age."
Liang Chu quickly understood, Zhang Fuzhi was ready to win him over, so he quickly answered: "Yes, I feel the same way, but I don't have any way to get rich, if I don't do this, what can I do?" ”
Zhang Fuzhi said: "If you can trust me, I have a way to make money."
Liang Chu inquired: "Trustworthy, trustworthy, I want money and no money, what can you lie to me, is it not to deceive me, a big living person, you quickly talk about it, what is the doorway to make money." ”
Zhang Fuzhi replied: "It is the business of smuggling cameras, and now the two places are separated, you get things back from our side, you can definitely make a lot of money, but it is a little risky, in case you are caught, but you will go to jail." ”
Liang Chu said, "It's all right, I'm so poor now, I can still manage that." ”
In the months that followed, Liang Chu and Zhang Fuzhi began to engage in the business of smuggling cameras.
After a long time, Zhang Fuzhi let down his guard against Liang Chu, and took the initiative to show Liang Chu his identity, and asked Liang Chu to join, telling Liang Chu that as long as he did a good job, the party-state would not treat him badly.
After Liang Chu agreed to join the Hong Kong secret service station, Zhang Fuzhi also specially took Liang Chu to accept an inspection by the CIA, and afterwards the Americans told Zhang Fuzhi that Liang Chu could be trusted, and Zhang Fuzhi completely believed in Liang Chu's identity.
Years later, according to Liang Chu's recollection,
The signal from the Kuomintang agents was to put a brick on a fixed house on Wende Road in Guangzhou, which meant that "there was intelligence to be exchanged", and if they agreed to meet, they could put another brick next to the brick.
In 1954, on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China,
Kuomintang agents wanted to carry out explosive terrorist attacks on important locations and government offices in Guangzhou before the National Day, and named it "South China Operation". To this end, Zhang Fuzhi specially let Liang Chu smuggle six US-made TNT sponge bombs with his wife and children, and in order to prevent Liang Chu from leaking the news, Zhang Fuzhi said: "You can be careful, once the news leaks, your wife and children are all bombs, be careful of being killed by the explosion."
Liang Chu said: "Absolutely not, you can rest assured, I have done this thing so many times, are you still worried about me leaking news?" ”
On the one hand, Liang Chu assured Zhang Fuzhi that he would definitely hand over the bomb to the connector on time, and on the other hand, Liang Chu immediately reported the matter to Xu Zhan's staff officer.
After getting the bomb, Liang Chu immediately sent it to the Guangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, and the bomb was defused by professionals to prevent the bomb from being detonated.
Liang Chu then handed over the duds that could no longer explode to the Kuomintang agents who came to meet them, and the public security organs swept up the Kuomintang secret service gang and arrested 25 agents according to Liang Chu's entire process.
At this point, the first major case in New China was successfully broken, and the Kuomintang reactionaries' south China operation also ended because the secret service gang was put to a pot.
Marshal Ye Jianying, then chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Government, also rewarded the public security organs who participated in solving the case and held a grand celebration banquet.
Afterwards, the case-handling personnel should have been promoted to a higher rank, and the commendation of the commendation, only Liang Chu, who had the greatest merit, did not gain anything, but his name appeared on the judgment of the Guangzhou Intermediate People's Court, and the defendant Liang Chu became a confessed and lenient agent and was exempted from criminal punishment.
What's going on here? Why did the meritorious man become a defendant?
He was insulted on his back and changed his name to Liang Huan
It turned out that the public security organs were afraid of Liang Chu's retaliation, so they maintained his undercover behavior and arranged for the court to issue a verdict, which staged a fake drama for the Kuomintang opposition.
In fact, although the public security organs announced the arrest of Liang Chu, Liang Chu himself stayed at home and did not participate in any trial.
Subsequently, the public security organs transferred Liang Chu's family from Shenzhen to Guangzhou, and arranged a new identity for him, from that day on, Liang Chu changed his name to Liang Huan, and organizationally arranged a new job and housing for him. And asked him to continue to lurk until there is a new mission.
With his new identity, Liang Huan has lived an ordinary life for a while, and now he is a bus driver. Half a year later, the liaison personnel of the Guangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau changed, and a girl named Chen Fan took over the position of Counselor Xu Zhan and brought a new task to Liang Huan.
The target of the mission happened to be Liang Huan's colleague's uncle. A while ago, the colleague's uncle returned from Hong Kong, and according to the investigation of the Guangzhou public security organs, this person is likely to be a Kuomintang agent, for this reason
The superior leaders hoped that Liang Huan would use the means of a Kuomintang agent to try this person, and if he could, it would be better to connect with him and understand the purpose of his trip.
After accepting the mission, Liang Huan first contacted his colleague's uncle as a counter-revolutionary, and after determining the identity of the other party's secret agent, and then after setting out the other party's intentions, the joint public security organs arrested the enemy again.
Because Liang Huan returned to his old business again, he had to drive a bus during the day, but also to connect with the secret agent at night, it was difficult to idle, and he also needed to pass on information to Chen Fan.
Coupled with the fact that during the work period, Liang Huan often took three days of leave at both ends, he could not explain to the leader what he was going to do, the leader did not like this kind of "sneaky and slippery" employees, so he could only think of ways to toss Liang Huan, first arranged for him to work in remote areas, and then let Liang Huan often run the night shift. This time and then, Liang Huan's body could not eat, and there was no place to complain about his soul, and finally he simply quit his job and concentrated on underground work.
As the saying goes, people walk by the river, where there is no reason to get wet shoes,
In 1956, when Liang Huan was on his last mission, he met his compatriots on the street with two Kuomintang agents, who called out the name "Liang Chu" without knowing it, and the two Kuomintang agents immediately discovered that Liang Huan had a problem. Immediately, two Kuomintang agents tried to kill Liang Huan, but were stopped by the police who had already ambushed nearby.
Kept secret for many years, and finally saw innocence
Since this identity was revealed, Liang Huan's mission has been suspended, and the only requirement for him by the organization is to enter a dormant state and wait for the next instructions.
This wait is more than forty years,
Although Liang Huan was a secret agent in confidential documents of the Guangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, his identity was indeed a counter-revolutionary in the open, and he had once worked as a Kuomintang agent. It is also for this reason that Liang Huan's children, except for the eldest son who joined the party in his early years, the rest of their children were all influenced by him, unable to join the party, let alone join the military and politics, and their lives were greatly affected.
In 1999, after reading a newspaper article, Liang Huan was eager to prove his identity organizationally before his death, and he did not want to bear the name of a counter-revolutionary after his death. In this regard, Xu Zhan's staff officer, who had guided Liang Huan to join the special service, also stood up and expressed his willingness to prove His identity for Liang Huan.
When the government learned about it, it showed that it attached great importance to this matter, on the one hand, it thoroughly investigated why Liang Huan had not waited for a new directive for many years, and on the other hand, it asked the Guangzhou Municipal Court to review Liang Huan's identity and change the old man's innocence.
Finally, in 2002, the Guangzhou Municipal People's Court withdrew Liang Huan's trial and restored the old man's reputation, and this forty-eight years of belated innocence and justice finally arrived.
And as for why Liang Huan has not received new instructions for many years, it has been lurking for a long time,
After organizational investigation, it was found that Liang Huan's superior contact Chen Fan had been bedridden for many years due to illness, losing his language and memory ability, and could not convey information to Liang Huan at all, so Liang Huan had been in a latent state.
Justice may be late, but justice will never be absent, and the old man has used his life to prove to the party and the country that he loves the country, he selflessly dedicates himself, and only hopes that the country will be more prosperous.
