On the morning of October 17, 1947, a man dressed in the costume of a Kuomintang officer suddenly approached from a swimming post of the Liaodong Liberation Army, and several soldiers standing guard immediately surrounded him with guns and shouted at him: "Stop, what are you doing?" Don't move, or we'll shoot! ”
The limping Kuomintang major not only did not fear, but also smiled with relief, he raised his hands and said loudly: "Comrade, you have misunderstood, I am my own person." ”
The soldiers standing guard saw that the man was wearing a Kuomintang officer's costume, did not believe it at all, but instead prepared to tie him up, the man was anxious, Lian said: "Comrade, I am really my own person, you take me to see the chief, I am 902, the Party Central Committee knows my identity." ”
Zhao Wei
The soldiers did not look like he was fake, but they did not dare to be careless, they confiscated the man's gun and tied it up, and sent it to the battalion headquarters, according to the information given by the man, the battalion headquarters could not verify the authenticity, and could only report it to the Liaonan Military Region, and after verification with the Central Intelligence Department, it was finally proved that what the man said was true.
Subsequently, this man named Zhao Wei was sent to the Liaodong Branch bureau to be received by Xiao Jinguang and Chen Yun and others.
In 1919, Zhao Wei was born in Wen'an County, Hebei Province, in 1939 Zhao Wei joined the Huangpu Military Academy Guilin Branch to study, during the school, he mastered a number of military skills such as shooting, surveying and mapping, strategy and tactics, infantry drills, etc., because of his outstanding results, he was also received by Chiang Kai-shek, who also gave him a Zhongzheng sword engraved with the words "Unsuccessful, Then Become Ren", and Zhao Wei was in the limelight for a while.
Chiang Kai-shek's move was nothing more than an attempt to win over these students with real talent and practical learning to fight for him in the future, so he spared no effort to play the family affection card, saying in his words to the students: "Your parents are my parents, and your brothers and sisters are my brothers and sisters." After listening to it, the students in Huangpu were eager to serve him to death.
After graduating from the Whampoa Military Academy, Zhao Wei was assigned to the 13th Army under the 31st Group Army of the Fifth Theater as a second lieutenant trainee officer, whose main job was to train new recruits, because Zhao Wei's new recruit training results were the most outstanding in the whole army, and Li Zongren, commander of the Fifth Theater, also specially summoned him.
Although he was promoted, but Zhao Wei was not happy, at that time the Japanese army was raging on the land of China, Zhao Wei's ambition was to go to the anti-Japanese front to kill the enemy to serve the country, but he could not find the opportunity, he could only continue to train and train in the rear, after some consideration, Zhao Wei decided to leave the 13th Army to Shaanxi to join his old superior who was the captain of the student corps at the Guilin Branch School, hoping that he could realize his ambition to kill the enemy on the front line there.
However, Zhao Wei's wish soon fell through, and when he arrived in Shaanxi, he found that he was farther away from the front line of the anti-Japanese and murderous enemies, and in desperation, he could only return to the Fifth Theater and find help from Zhu Jianguo, a classmate who served as a staff officer in the headquarters of the commander of the Fifth Theater.
At that time, although the Kuomintang and the Communists were in the second period of comprehensive cooperation, when the Kuomintang had always been on guard, the appeasement group of the General Staff Office under Zhu Jianguo was responsible for studying how to confront our Party apparatus. During the raid, they seized a lot of progressive books and pamphlets, and Zhao Wei would secretly read these books when he was idle.
Zhu Jianguo joined our party a long time ago and became an underground party member, and in the process of contact with Zhao Wei, he found that Zhao Wei's thinking was relatively progressive, so Zhu Jianguo guided him from time to time.
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Zhao Wei was transferred to the Northeast Security Command as a major staff officer, and on the way to the northeast he went to Tianjin to meet his friend Zhu Jianguo, who knew Zhao Wei's ability, and for more than two years of observation, he determined that Zhao Wei's thinking was biased toward our party, and decided to develop Zhao Wei into an intelligence officer of our party and secretly work for our party.
In March 1946, Li Kenong sent Wang Shijian, a senior cadre of the intelligence department, to Beiping to contact Zhao Wei, Zhao Wei was very excited after seeing Wang Shijian, he could not wait to escape the Kuomintang to join the Chinese Communist Party, and also wanted to go to Yan'an, the holy land of revolution, but Wang Shijian's words dispelled his idea, Wang Shijian told Zhao Wei that his work was very important, no one could replace him, plus the convenient performance of his identity to better provide intelligence for the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army, and also analyzed the domestic situation for him. It is clear that the next northeast battlefield will definitely be the focus of contention between the Kuomintang and the Communists, so Zhao Wei can play a more important role in the Northeast Security Command.
Wang Shijian then explained the content of his work to Zhao Wei, repeatedly emphasized the importance and security of intelligence work, considering the position of Zhao Wei is very important, he instructed Zhao Wei to be in contact with his superior liaison officer in a single line, can not contact other liaison officers, for his identity can not be leaked to anyone, otherwise it may invite the disaster of killing, even his own relatives can not say a word. Zhao Wei couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive when he listened to Wang Shijian's explanation, he had never done such a job before, and what followed was pressure, and the burden of Qianjun was tied together, and he seriously said that he would definitely complete the task.
In the days that followed, Wang Shijian met with Zhao Wei several more times, trained him in intelligence work, and taught him experience, and finally, Wang Shijian lifted his shirt, pointed to the dense wounds, and said, "See this?" When I was doing underground work in Shanghai, I was arrested by Kuomintang agents and beaten with leather whips, as well as with soldering irons, and revolutionaries must have integrity and must never betray their comrades! Zhao Wei was greatly shaken, and also understood the cruelty and danger of undercover work.
After determining that Zhao Wei already had the ability to work as an underground worker, the party organization gave him a secret task, and Li Kenong personally gave Zhao Wei the code name of "902", which only a few people knew, and belonged to the highest level of secrets within the underground party organization.
In early March 1947, Zhao Wei became a major staff officer in charge of the secret office of the Kuomintang Northeast Security Command, and his main job was to mark the northeast combat situation map in the office of the chief of staff of the Kuomintang Northeast Security Command, and to mark the occupied areas of the Kuomintang army and the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army with blue and red flags every day.
After the liberation war began, Wang Shijian sent yuan ze, an underground party member, to Shenyang instead of himself to meet With Zhao Wei and bring back the relevant information transmitted by Zhao Wei. After Zhao Wei and Yuan Ze connected their heads, he used his connections to install him in the dormitory of the Northeast Security Headquarters, and that night he told Yuan Ze the detailed battle plan he had just obtained for the fourth attack on Liaodong.
Zhao Wei also wanted to let Yuan Ze take away his newly compiled military strength table, but there were too many materials to take out and he could only give up, Zhao Wei was very sorry, and he suggested that the underground party organization could set up a secret radio station in Shenyang as soon as possible to send intelligence to the outside world to facilitate the transmission of information with a large amount of content.
A month later, the underground party organization set up a secret radio station in a place not far from Zhao Wei's office, and the information provided by Zhao Wei was continuously transmitted through this radio, which brought great help to the initial Northeast Democratic Coalition Army.
After receiving Du Yuming's transfer order, the Kuomintang 13th Army immediately transferred the 89th Division and the 54th Division from Chifeng to Shenyang, in order to find out the specific departure time of these two main offensive units, Zhao Wei boarded the special train of the 13th Army Headquarters on the pretext of visiting his classmates, and got a large number of military arrangements.
Urgent order, Commander Shi, after your troops were transported to Qingyuan, they quickly forced their troops to Xinbin Sanyuanpu, quickly entered the position to carry out a strong attack, and occupied the commanding heights of Lanshan Mountain.
The reason why Zhao Wei issued such an order was because he knew that the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army had already laid out a position at the foot of Lanshan Mountain, where the terrain was dangerous and was high on three sides, as long as the 13th Army entered the absolute fierceness and ji, after the false order was prepared, he issued him according to the procedures for issuing orders in the past, in case someone would investigate the matter in the future.
Du Yuming
After the 13th Army arrived in Qingyuan, it immediately marched in accordance with the orders to seize the commanding heights of Lanshan, and its 89th Division and the 162nd Regiment of the 54th Division were quickly completely annihilated by the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army, which directly led to the bankruptcy of Du Yuming's well-planned fourth offensive plan to attack Liaodong, and the situation in the northeast battlefield changed accordingly, and Du Yuming's strategy of "defending the north and attacking the south first, first south and then north" was forced to change and turn to a comprehensive defense, and the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army seized the opportunity to seize the initiative in the battle.
After the defeat of the 13th Army, Du Yuming wanted to strictly investigate the reasons for the defeat, and finally found out that the battle order was issued by the command, and the 13th Army was also carried out with reference, and he couldn't understand why he did not know why he had given such an order, so Du Yuming asked the headquarters to strictly investigate who gave the order. Because the telegram sent when Zhao Wei forged this order at that time had the signatures of the chief of the operations section, the chief of staff, the chief of staff, and others, all the procedures were legal, there were no flaws, and in the end, it was not clear who issued the order.
In the end, Du Yuming could only sign the words "the counselor should be reprimanded" on this telegram, and the matter of false orders was eliminated. In the face of zhao wei's great deeds, the party organization also expressed full recognition of his work, especially praising his calm and resourceful intelligence work.
In May 1947, the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army crossed the jiangnan to launch a summer offensive, and also sent more than 100,000 troops to besiege Siping, the entire northeast war situation has undergone earth-shaking changes, Chiang Kai-shek can not sit still, he personally flew to Shenyang, let Du Yuming give up some towns to shrink the troops, Du Yuming and Zheng Dongguo and others after studying the war situation, believe that the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army is a great threat to Shenyang, proposed to sweep the 53rd Army as the mainstay, consolidate the Shenyang gateway, and then sent the troops that can be gathered to relieve the siege of Siping.
Based on the radio reconnaissance, Du Yuming judged that the main force of the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army was likely to be in the mountains east of the Zhongchang Road, so he decided to take advantage of this opportunity to start an attack, commanding the corps to launch an attack according to his strategic deployment, and all this information was passed on by Zhao Wei, and Du Yuming's attack plan was put into the water.
Throughout the summer offensive, At the same time, Zhao Wei's intelligence work played an outstanding role in this, when Zhao Wei was serving as a military staff officer at the Zhengdongguo Front Command Post, he passed on all the information on the deployment of troops on the Kuomintang front, providing a reliable basis for Lin Biao's platoon deployment.
Du Yuming's successive defeats in the northeast disappointed Chiang Kai-shek, and in July, Du Yuming went to Shanghai for medical treatment due to a recurrence of an old illness, and Chiang Kai-shek used this as a reason to remove Du Yuming from his post and arrange for Chen Cheng to take over, and Before Chen Cheng arrived, Zheng Dongguo acted as commander.
After Chen Cheng arrived in the northeast, he gathered all the power in one, and in early October, Chen Cheng ordered Zhao Wei to report to Peiping in person with a plan, so he also sent a special plane to escort Zhao Wei to Beiping.
Temporary
On October 8, Zhao Wei arrived at Jinzhou Airport, the Air Force arranged for a C-47 to send him to Beiping, after arriving in Beiping, Zhao Wei did not immediately go to Chiang Kai-shek's official residence, but went to Zhongnanhai Beibei to meet his old classmate Ji Qiren, during which he asked about Zhu Jianguo's recent situation, Ji Qiren told Zhao Wei: "The CHINESE Communists' radio station in Shenyang has been cracked, Zhu Jianguo is an underground party, has been arrested, you are close to him, be careful!" ”
Zhao Wei was very nervous on his face, Zhu Jianguo was exposed and was likely to be found out himself, he stayed for a while and left Ji Qiren's residence, and then went to find Li Baocheng, a classmate who was serving as the chief of staff at the Beiping Ironclad Train Column Headquarters, and got a more serious news: "I didn't believe that Zhu Jianguo was a communist at first, and I wanted to rescue him with other classmates, but this time the matter was too serious, in addition to Zhu Jianguo's arrest, there was also a section chief Xie Shiyan, deputy director of the Military Justice Department Ding Xing, intelligence staff officer Shi Chun, Zhao Liangzhang, intelligence staff officer of the Beiping Air Force Command, was arrested, and a dozen people were arrested. Zhao Wei's heart was very heavy after hearing this, how should the information in his hands be conveyed now that Zhu Jianguo has been arrested?
In order to get in touch with the Beiping underground party organization, on October 10, Zhao Wei ventured to no. 8 Kuzi Hutong, Baozi Street, to find wang Xiao, an intelligence officer.
When he came to the door of Wang Xiao's house, Zhao Wei did not immediately knock on the door, but pretended to pass by the pedestrians passing in front, did not expect to rush out from the inside of a fierce and vicious big man, asked him what he was doing, Zhao Wei calmly said that he came to No. 7 Kuzi Hutong to find someone, fooled the man over.
After coming out of the alley, Zhao Wei realized that something big had happened, Wang Xiao must have also been arrested, all the people who had contacted him before had been arrested, and if someone confessed to him, then his current situation must be very dangerous.
On October 12, Li Baocheng and two classmates met Zhao Wei for dinner, and one of the students at the banquet said with emotion: "This incident is too big, I heard that a total of more than twenty people were arrested, even Yu Xinqing, a senior senator with the title of lieutenant general, was arrested, I heard that Chen Bray's daughter Chen Chain and son-in-law Yuan Yongxi were also arrested, and I heard that Principal Jiang also specially issued a Baoding Medal to two small spies who had made meritorious efforts in arresting the radio, and also rewarded 10,000 modern oceans. ”
After some consideration, he thought that the comrades in the organization could stand the test, his position was too important, and it was of great use to stay, so he would not leave his post unless he had to, so he decided to venture back to Shenyang.
Just in case, Zhao Wei, who returned to Shenyang, did not go to work immediately, but first went to his fiancée's house to inquire about the situation, and when he heard that no one had come to him, he relaxed his mind, in order to further confirm, he called the Operations Section of the General Staff Office, and he did not expect that a lu section chief who claimed to be a new arrival answered the phone and said urgently: "Zhao Wei, are you back?" Why don't you come to work yet? ”
Zhao Wei was definitely exposed when he heard it, and in order to stabilize the other party, he said: "Chief Lu, I just got off the plane, I have a fever, and now I am resting at my fiancée's house, I will come right away." ”
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Wei did not care about wearing his coat, and rushed out to hire a carriage to go to the old city of Shenyang, where he called his fiancée, but it was Chief Lu who answered the phone, and repeatedly claimed that the chief of staff had an urgent matter to find, he specially drove over to pick it up, Zhao Wei immediately choked the phone, came to the Hun River to cross the Hun River to avoid the pursuit of the secret agents.
On October 16, Zhao Wei went to the defensive area of the Nationalist 52nd Army in Jiguanshan, as long as he crossed the Taizi River from here, he could enter the Liberated Area, just as Zhao Wei was about to cross the river, two Kuomintang soldiers stopped him, Zhao Wei pretended that he was an officer, and angrily reprimanded the two soldiers of the security regiment, and then asked them to find a boat to send him across the Taizi River.
Cavalry Regiment of the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army
After crossing the Prince River, Zhao Wei immediately set out on the road and ran all night before encountering the People's Liberation Army's swimming sentry the next morning, because he was wearing a Kuomintang school officer's clothes, he dared to release him after calling and verifying his identity with the Central Intelligence Department, and was also received by Xiao Jinguang and Chen Yun.
Zhao Wei, who ended his escape, returned to the embrace of the party organization and continued to contribute to the revolutionary cause, but his identity has always been top secret, so many people do not know Zhao Wei's undercover experience, nor do they know his great contribution to the liberation war, until many years after the founding of the country, his identity was not made public, his family and friends around him did not know his true identity, but also knew who the mysterious agent codenamed "902" was talking about.
