In early October 1948, chiang kai-shek moved from Shenyang to Beiping shortly after the liaoshen campaign began.
After studying, the Beiping underground party decided to send underground party member Liu Shiping to try to find out the enemy's movements.
At this time, Peiping was in the midst of a fierce confrontation between progress and reaction, light and darkness, and the Kuomintang, seeing that the situation on the battlefield was tight, wanted to do everything possible and do everything possible to strengthen internal control and external rule.
It can be said that for the underground party members, the environment at that time was extremely harsh, and it was difficult to get the core secrets related to Chiang Kai-shek.
Liu Shiping was then the director of the interview department of the Beiping reactionary newspaper Yishi Bao, and his occupation and position created very favorable conditions for him to have extensive contacts with reactionary figures from all walks of life in Peiping.
On October 23, Liu Shiping learned that Fu Zuoyi, commander of the "Suppression Command" in North China, had summoned a meeting of key members, at which there must have been movements about the enemy, and decided to select those who might participate in this meeting from the list of "friends" he had interacted with, and took the opportunity to meet with them and inquire about the news.
He thought left and right, and quickly locked in two candidates: one was Du Changcheng, the commander of the demolition brigade of the North China "Suppression General" and the commander of the North China Special Station of the Kuomintang Secrecy Bureau, and the other was Eyousan, commander of the 12th Brigade of the Kuomintang Reorganized Cavalry.
These two people are Liu Shiping's Suiyuan compatriots, and they are friends in the middle school era, and they have a good relationship with each other, often eating and drinking together.
Liu Shiping decided to invite the two to meet in the name of his hometown friend Xiao Ju, and in order to expand this lineup, he called another Suiyuan fellow villager, Liu Jianlong, commander of the third battalion of the Peiping Gendarmerie.
That night, Du Changcheng, Eyousan, and Liu Jianlong gladly accepted Liu Shiping's invitation and rushed to a restaurant to eat and drink.
Soon after these four Suiyuan compatriots sat down, a large table of good wine and good dishes was set up, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, and Liu Shiping was attentively persuaded to drink.
After three rounds of drinking, Liu Shiping pretended to inadvertently begin to "complain": "In the more than a year since old Fu was promoted, he has suffered many defeats since the Battle of Zhuangxuan, and has frequently launched attacks, which have made those of you who lead the troops miserable, and also made us Chasui people suffer too much..."
Liu Shiping's words actually have great significance. He knew very well in his heart that although Du Changcheng, Eyousan, and Liu Jianlong were all under Fu Zuoyi's control, Du, E, and Liu were all concubines of Chiang Kai-shek, and there were many contradictions between them and Fu Zuoyi's urine in less than a pot.
What's more, all of you here are Suiyuan people, and they have always been disgusted with Yan Xishan and Fu Zuoyi, who have ruled Suiyuan for a long time.
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately aroused the "resonance" of Eyousan: "You are too right! However, the committee (referring to Chiang Kai-shek) had just issued an order for Lao Fu to take action tomorrow to take down the old lair of the communist army. At this point, I can show my fists and feet, and then let us Cha Sui people raise their eyebrows and breathe. Brothers, you just wait and see! ”
Eyousan, who was already drunk, did not realize that his "spitting" words had leaked a top-secret intelligence.
Liu Shiping was shocked to hear this, and secretly wondered in his heart: "The old nest of the Duan Communist Army?" Act tomorrow? What's going on here? ”
However, on the surface, he remained silent, continued to earnestly persuade Eyousan and others to drink wine and knock on the side, and finally figured out the top-secret conspiracy that Chiang Kai-shek and Fu Zuoyi were planning -- launching a sneak attack on Shijiazhuang and Xibaipo to "sweep away the ORGANS" of the CPC leadership, thus salving the Defeat of the Kuomintang in the Northeast Battlefield!
The 12th Brigade of the Reorganized Cavalry of Eyousan and Du Changcheng's Demolition Brigade were both units sent by Fu Zuoyi to participate in the sneak attack.
This information immediately made Liu Shiping's heart jump, and he was covered in cold sweat, and he thought to himself: If the enemy's conspiracy succeeds, the consequences will be unimaginable! This information must be sent out as soon as possible!
This meal was eaten until the early morning of the next day, taking advantage of the opportunity of Eyousan getting drunk, Liu Shiping made an excuse, calmly bid farewell to Du Changcheng and Liu Jianlong, and left the restaurant.
He had wanted to report immediately to his superiors, but on second thought, whether this information was true or not had to be verified, otherwise it would cause great trouble.
At this time, he remembered that Du Changcheng had inadvertently mentioned that his demolition brigade had been fully prepared and was ready to go to Xizhimen Station, so he decided to personally run over to verify it.
Relying on his status as the director of the interview department of Yishi Bao, he successfully passed the interrogation and entered the Xizhimen station, and sure enough, he saw that the people in the station were shouting and horses, and the train cars filled with military supplies and horses and cars were all disguised...
All this proves that the intelligence leaked by Eyousan, Du Changcheng and others is true!
A good Liu Shiping, at this time, was still not chaotic, and calmly and unhurriedly set out the number of these troops from the mouth of the station personnel, as well as the number of troop trains, departure times and other information.
After doing these things, Liu Shiping confirmed that no one was following, immediately found a direct contact person, and reported in detail the top-secret information he had.
At 10:00 a.m. on the same day, this top-secret information became an airwave, which was successively transmitted to the City Engineering Department of the North China Bureau of the CPC, the North China Military Region, Shijiazhuang, and Xibaipo...
The Central Military Commission urgently ordered Zheng Weishan, commander of the Third Column of the North China Military Region, to lead the troops to immediately advance southwards and work together with the Seventh Column to intercept Fu Zuoyi's sneak attack troops.
The enemy never expected to encounter Zheng Weishan's troops on the way to the sneak attack, and he was immediately overwhelmed.
At this time, Chairman Mao, on the basis of the top-secret information obtained by Liu Shiping, came to a plan and sent three telegrams in a row to make public the conspiracy of Chiang Kai-shek and Fu Zuoyi to sneak attack, forcing Fu Zuoyi to withdraw his troops and cancel the plan to sneak attack Shijiazhuang and Xibaipo.
It can be said that it was precisely because of this top-secret intelligence obtained by Liu Shiping that the situation of the Liaoshen Campaign and even the entire Liberation War was changed.
