As we all know, it is not only the fight on the frontal battlefield that determines the outcome of a war, but also the frontal battlefield, and more competition is actually behind it.
During the period of the War of Liberation, the reason why our army was able to win victories on the battlefield and defeat the powerful Kuomintang army in three or four years was that in addition to the heroic and good fighting of the commanders and fighters, the agents who did underground work also made indelible contributions.
In addition, there is another person who needs to be mentioned in particular, this person is Guo Rujie, who is the underground party of our army and played an important role in the liberation war.
Guo Rujie's real identity is the underground party of our army, but he is also a red man around Chiang Kai-shek and holds an important position.
Throughout the period of the Liberation War, Guo Rujie relied on his position within the Kuomintang to send a large amount of valuable intelligence to our army and hastened the victory of the Liberation War.
As an underground party, Guo Rugui's situation was very dangerous, and Du Yuming, a famous general in the Nationalist Army, suspected that Guo Rugui was a Red Army and told Chiang Kai-shek his identity.
Old Jiang asked Du Yuming where he judged that Guo Rujie was a Red Army? Du Yuming said: "I have been to his house, and there are patches on the sofa of his house", after hearing this, old Jiang was extremely dissatisfied with Du Yuming and advised him not to bring his personal feelings to work.
Guo Rugui walked to the road of secret agents
Guo Rujie had ambitions in his early years and was determined to contribute to the country, but in his youth, he rejected his family's plan to make him a doctor, insisting on going to the revolution.
Guo Rujie, who joined the Huangpu Fifth Phase, came into contact with communist ideas at school, which deeply influenced him, and finally joined the Communist Party under the introduction of Yuan Jingming.
During the warlord melee, Guo Rugui went to Japan to study for further study, and after the outbreak of the September 18 Incident, Guo Rugui, who was bent on saving the country, returned to the motherland.
Because he was previously a graduate of the Fifth Phase of Huangpu, Guo Ruzhi was eligible to go to the Army University for further study, and it was because of this experience that he could be regarded as a "confidant" by Chiang Kai-shek.
The organization demanded that Guo Ruzhi lurk within the Kuomintang, and he gladly obeyed the organization's arrangement. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Guo Rugui worked under Chen Cheng and gained Chen Cheng's attention.
Because of his good military qualities and many high opinions in the work of the staff officers, Guo Rujie rose rapidly in his position in the nationalist army, and he was already the chief of staff of the group army at a young age.
After Ren Lianru asked his superiors for instructions and briefed the organization in detail on Guo Rugui's situation, Dong Biwu of the Cpc's Southern Bureau was very concerned about this issue.
After Dong Biwu thought about it, he believed that if Guo Rugui's current identity returned to Yan'an, his role would be far less great than that within the Kuomintang, and he hoped that Guo Rugui could break into the Kuomintang and become a valuable agent.
After Dong Biwu conveyed this idea to Guo Rugui through Ren Lianru, Guo Rugui knew that this road was full of difficulties, but since the organization had this requirement, he should obey it, and in this way, Guo Rugui began his "spy" career.
Du Yuming suspected identity
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Chiang Kai-shek first pretended to negotiate peace, but in fact took advantage of this time to prepare for the civil war, and soon, the military leaders within the Kuomintang had drawn up a battle plan called "The Battle Sequence of the Nationalist Army."
At this time, Guo Rujie, who had already mixed into the middle and high levels of the Kuomintang, played a role, and after he got the battle plan, he quickly handed it over to the organization.
It is precisely by relying on the news from Guo Rujie that our army has made preparations for battle in advance to avoid being caught off guard by the nationalist army.
Soon, the Liberation War officially broke out, and Guo Rugui was a red man around Chen Cheng, graduating from both the Whampoa Military Academy and the Army University in his early years, so Chiang Kai-shek had no doubts about his identity.
Soon, on chen Cheng's recommendation, Guo Rugui became the director of the Operations Department of the Kuomintang Ministry of National Defense.
Many of the Kuomintang's military combat plans were formulated and promulgated through the Department of Operations of the Ministry of National Defense, which indirectly showed that Guo Rugui could access the kuomintang's core intelligence.
At this point, Guo Rugui played a greater role, and on the battlefield of East China, Guo Rugui secretly "engaged in sabotage", so that the Nationalist army on the frontal battlefield was repeatedly defeated.
The Battle of Menglianggu, the Battle of Laiwu, and the Battle of Laiwu all contributed a lot, and on the surface they formulated a very "perfect" battle plan, in fact, they secretly helped our army and let the Nationalist army repeatedly win the plan.
Guo Rugui's identity was also suspected by his colleagues, Liu Fei and Deng Wenyi said in public that Guo Rugui was the Red Army and the Communist Party. Chiang Kai-shek did not believe this, but only reconciled the relationship between Guo Rujie and his colleagues.
Deng Wenyi told Du Yuming about his suspicions about Guo Rugui's Communist Party, and Du Yuming thought about it carefully and found that something was wrong, and felt that Guo Rugui was very suspicious, so he deliberately launched a detailed investigation into him.
One day, Du Yuming came to Guo Rugui's home on official business, and in the face of such an uninvited guest, Guo Rugui raised his vigilance, and he did not show any clues in his words and deeds.
But Du Yuming is also a shrewd and capable person, he is good at observation, and found that the sofas in Guo Rugui's home are patched, and the home is also very poor, which is completely inconsistent with the identity of the Kuomintang lieutenant general.
On this trip, Du Yuming gained a lot, he dared to conclude that Guo Rujie was the Communist Party, and the reason was very simple.
Du Yuming believed that the high-ranking Kuomintang generals as a whole were extravagant and corrupt, and even if they were like themselves, they would not be so shabby as Guo Rujie, and this style of thriftiness was the style of the communists.
After mastering the "evidence," Du Yuming left Guo Rugui's home and went directly to Chiang Kai-shek's office, where he reported the situation to him and pointed out to his face that Guo Rugui was an agent installed by the Communists within the Kuomintang.
Du Yuming was also a red man around Chiang Kai-shek, and when the old Chiang heard Du Yuming say this, he asked, "What is the reason why Guo Rujie is a communist?" ”
After Du Yuming explained what he had seen in Guo Rugui's home, he pointed out to Old Jiang that Guo Rugui's style was the style of a communist, and it must be that officials were so honest and thrifty!
When Chiang Kai-shek heard Du Yuming say this, his face instantly pulled down, and he criticized Du Yuming and said:
"Communists are not greedy for money and lustful, but are they greedy for money and lustful, and it is the style of the Kuomintang soldiers to be greedy and lustful, and to fill their own pockets?"
When Du Yuming listened, he realized that he had just expressed something ambiguous, and after being trained by Old Jiang, he did not speak again. Before leaving, Chiang Kai-shek said to Du Yuming:
"Guangting, private grievances cannot be placed on official affairs, and public affairs cannot be abolished because of private interests."
I don't know how Du Yuming felt at this time, he couldn't say it bitterly, and after he found out the "evidence" that Guo Rujie was the Communist Party, not only was he not exaggerated, but in the eyes of Old Jiang, he became a villain who "abolished public affairs for personal gain." After being trained by Old Jiang, Du Yuming also went down depressed.
Fortunately, Guo Rujie's identity was not suspected by Chiang Kai-shek, and he was able to play a greater role.
During the Battle of Huaihai, Guo Rugui made a great contribution, he participated in the formulation of the battle plan, and passed the battle plan to the People's Liberation Army, so that the commanders of the People's Liberation Army could know themselves and each other, understand the enemy's movements and make corresponding countermeasures.
epilogue?
After the Battle of Huaihai, Du Yuming was captured, and he always had a doubt in his mind, which was "Is Guo Rujie a Communist agent in the end?" Until before Du Yuming's death, when Guo Rujie was ordered to visit him, Du Yuming asked him in a weak voice:
"I'm dying, you tell the truth, were you a Communist Party back then?"
Guo Rugui also wanted to tell Du Yuming the truth, but the organization did not reveal his identity at that time, and Guo Rugui's public identity has always been an uprising general, so Guo Rugui can only say to Du Yuming:
"Back then, we just had different positions."
What this sentence means, presumably Du Yuming has already understood, although Guo Rugui did not explain it, but the four words of "different positions" at that time were equivalent to a standard answer.
When Guo Rujie broke into the Kuomintang, he played a huge role, and the strength of one person was no less than that of a single unit.
Throughout the revolutionary period, there were many red agents who played a role in the enemy like Guo Rujie, and although they could not charge on the battlefield with guns, they were no less meritorious to the victory of the revolution than a commander who led troops to fight, and should pay tribute to such an excellent Communist agent as Guo Rugui.
