Preface:
On the eve of the National Day on September 15, 1969, a U.S. military plane slowly drove toward the Sino-Vietnamese border. In addition to the pilots, there was a Chinese newlywed couple, Li Sha and Huang Guohua.
The two men were instructed by the U.S. Intelligence Service to enter China on the Chinese-Vietnamese border before the National Day and carry out the task of assassinating Chairman Mao.
However, this plan did not succeed, and the military plane did not even fly to the Sino-Vietnamese border and landed at Kunming Airport. As soon as they landed, they were arrested on the spot by the Chinese police.
So why did these two Chinese assassinate Chairman Mao, and what was the assassination plan? What caused the task to fail?
All this has to start with a performance of "White Haired Girl" in the Philippines.
"White Haired Girl" tour, Li Sha "met" Huang Guohua
In October 1966, the dance drama "White Haired Girl" came to the Philippines for a tour, which caused great repercussions. In particular, the local overseas Chinese heard that this is a dance troupe from the motherland, and they are full of expectations for this performance.
At the same time, Li Sha, a female killer from the FAR East Intelligence Agency, also noticed the news.
Li Sha was a specially trained killer by The United States and Chiang Kai-shek in order to assassinate Chairman Mao during the National Day in 1969.
At this time, Li Sha had been living in the Philippines for more than a month, in order to find a helper for herself, but she had no clue.
When she knew that China's domestic dance troupe was coming to tour, Li Sha suddenly had an idea:
The dance troupe performed everywhere, and it must have known many high-ranking officials, and if they could find suitable helpers in it and carry out the plan to assassinate Chairman Mao, it would be more effective with half the effort.
After making up her mind, Li Sha immediately bought a ticket for the play and arrived at the venue in advance to find a target.
Sitting in her seat, she looked around, but no one could arouse LiSha's interest. Looking at the busy staff on the stage, Li Sha's heart couldn't help but be a little irritable.
Suddenly, a tall and handsome figure appeared on the stage, instantly attracting all the eyes of Li Sha, and this person was Huang Guohua mentioned at the beginning.
As a handyman in the dance troupe, Huang Guohua set the stage with other staff. As everyone knows, at this time, a young woman in the audience has set a trap for him.
Before the show was over, Li Sha came to the exit early and waited. When the audience gradually dispersed, Li Sha kept looking for the handsome young man in the crowd.
Seeing that it was Huang Guohua coming out, Li Sha quickly walked to his vicinity, stretched out her legs and tripped Huang Guohua, tripping him to the ground.
Huang Guohua stood up and saw Li Sha in front of him and apologized in a loud voice:
"I'm sorry, Miss, it didn't scare you."
"I should say I'm sorry, I accidentally tripped you up, I didn't break it."
"No, no, I'm fine."
Just when the two were about to fall into an awkward silence, Huang Guohua said:
"Miss, where do you live, just now I was not careful, another day to come to the door to apologize."
Listening to Huang Guohua's words, Li Sha couldn't help but whisper in her heart, and replied without missing a word:
"Sir, you are so polite, I live at 18 Haibin Road, I have time at any time, you are welcome to come and visit."
After returning home, Li Sha reported Huang Guohua's affairs to the director of the intelligence bureau, Art McMith (hereinafter referred to as McMith), by wireless telegraph.
On the one hand, it is to let the director McMith investigate the identity of Huang Guohua, and on the other hand, to ask McMith for instructions on his next move.
Not long after, McMith issued an order to "keep in touch and test Huang Guohua more."
Early the next morning, Huang Guohua bought a bouquet of roses, put on a brand new suit, and appeared at Li Sha's doorstep.
"Bang bang bang", a knock on the door sounded, Li Sha guessed that Huang Guohua came to the door, hurried to the second floor window to look out, and sure enough, he saw the handsome figure.
After thinking for a few seconds, Li Sha called the nanny at home and instructed:
"When you open the door, say I'm out and ask him to come back another day."
For the time that followed, Li Sha had been observing Huang Guohua's reaction on the second floor.
When she saw Huang Guohua leaving, her face was full of disappointment, Li Sha's heart relaxed slightly.
Out of the killer's instinct, Li Sha has always worried that Huang Guohua is a person with ulterior motives, and even more worried that Huang Guohua knows his identity and deliberately approaches him and sabotages the assassination plan.
When Huang Guohua left disappointed, Li Sha was basically sure that he was just an ordinary man who wanted to pursue himself.
But Li Sha still did not let down her guard and planned to continue to test Huang Guohua.
On the third day, Huang Guohua still wore a straight suit, appeared in front of Li Sha's door with a rose in his hand, and knocked on the door with a nervous heart.
With a "creak", the door slowly opened, and Li Sha's delicate face appeared in Huang Guohua's eyes.
"You're finally back, and this bouquet of flowers is for you."
With that, Huang Guohua handed the flowers in his hand to Li Sha.
After receiving the flowers, Li Sha took Huang Guohua to the living room and personally brewed a cup of tea for Huang Guohua. Seeing the other party staring at him intently, Li Sha felt a burst of joy in her heart.
"This is the second time we have met, and I don't know what mr. Sir's name is?" How about you and me make a friend? ”
As soon as the words fell, Huang Guohua began to report to his home:
"My name is Huang Guohua, and my father was the Kuomintang general Huang Fusheng, but unfortunately he was killed by the Communists."
"After my father died, my mother also left, but fortunately my uncle adopted me."
Hearing Huang Guohua say that his father was Huang Fusheng, Li Sha was surprised and delighted.
Li Zhongxin
What is shocking is that his father Li Zhongxin was also a Kuomintang general, who also died at the hands of the Communist Party, and Li Zhongxin and Huang Fusheng were still good friends.
Happily, if what Huang Guohua said was true, with the same experience as himself, it would be easy to pull him into his own camp and become his right-hand man.
But Li Sha did not dare to determine Huang Guohua's identity, and could only avoid this question for the time being, and continued to speak:
"Mr. Huang, what are you doing now?"
"I work in a theater in Beijing, and this time I'm touring with the dance company, and I'm probably going to be in the Philippines for a while."
In the days that followed, Huang Guohua's relationship with Li Sha heated up rapidly, and the U.S. Intelligence Agency also found that Huang Guohua was indeed Huang Fusheng's son.
In this way, Li Sha's next task is to put Huang Guohua to the ultimate test and pull him into the FAR East Intelligence Service.
Love and Test, Huang Guohua became a secret agent
Since the two established a relationship, Huang Guohua has brought roses to the door every day and invited Li Sha to eat, shop and dance together.
Just when the two were like glue, Li Sha suddenly disappeared.
After questioning the nanny, Huang Guohua learned that she had flown to Japan and left him a letter.
Taking the letter handed by the nanny, Huang Guohua couldn't wait to open it and read it. Then return home, grab your luggage and head to the airport, flying from the Philippines to Yokohama, Japan.
After searching around for a long time, Huang Guohua found Li Sha's residence.
As soon as he saw Li Sha, Huang Guohua hugged her tightly into his arms: "I finally found you, how can I leave without a sound." ”
"Sorry to worry you."
Hearing this, Huang Guohua said angrily: "Why don't you tell me in advance, why don't you take me with you?" ”
"I've all been fired from the theater to find you!"
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
Looking at Li Sha's guilty expression, Huang Guohua calmed his mood, but comforted Li Sha: "It doesn't matter, you don't go to your heart, you can find a job again." ”
In fact, this is also a kind of test for Huang Guohua by Li Sha.
Before she tells Huang guohua all the truth, before inviting Huang Guohua to help herself, Li Sha must ensure that Huang Guohua is hopelessly in love with herself.
Once it is discovered that Huang Guohua has a problem, or is no longer so firm in her feelings, Li Sha will leave or kill Huang Guohua so that the assassination plan will not be leaked.
After Huang Guohua returned to the Philippines, Li Sha did see the news of his dismissal from the theater in the newspaper, and her trust in Huang Guohua increased by one point.
After that, Li Sha suddenly disappeared without repeating the trick, leaving only the word "London" on the door.
Without saying a word, Huang Guohua rushed to London as fast as he could, and finally found Li Sha at the door of a theater.
Huang Guohua's appearance was expected by Li Sha, but she still pretended to be surprised:
"How do you know I'm here?"
"Didn't you leave a clue on the door, I'll look for it." What are you doing here, didn't you say last time in Japan that you should tell me in advance? ”
"Don't be angry, I'm not good, I won't be in the future, let's go to dinner first."
Soon after, the two came to the restaurant to dine together. Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Sha informed Huang Guohua of all her life:
"There is one thing I have never told you, in fact, I am also the daughter of a Kuomintang general, my father's name is Li Zhongxin, and I am good friends with your father."
"Unfortunately, my father was also killed by the Communists."
Looking at Li Sha, who was sad on her face, Huang Guohua comforted: "I can understand your feelings, we are both suffering from the same disease." ”
"Would you like to join my organization and avenge your father?"
"Willing is willing, but I don't know anything?"
Looking at Huang Guohua's expression, Li Sha said easily: "It doesn't matter, as long as you agree to join, the rest is up to me." ”
Huang Guohua happily agreed: "I am willing, I am willing to join the organization." ”
What he did not expect was that Li Sha's originally happy face suddenly became serious and fierce, and he pulled out a pistol and scolded Huang Guohua's head:
"Don't pretend, I already know your identity, you are a Communist agent." If you don't tell the truth, I'll shoot. ”
From the moment he saw Li Sha's gun, Huang Guohua's face appeared an expression of panic that was difficult to hide, and after hearing Li Sha's words, his panic gradually turned into doubt and anger:
"Miss Lee, are you questioning my feelings?" Whatever your identity, my love for you is unquestionable. ”
"I have already said that I have a blood feud with the Communist Party, and I also want to avenge my father!"
"If you don't believe me, shoot me now, I'm not ashamed."
The expression on Huang Guohua's face was looked at by Li Sha, and coupled with his various performances, Li Sha was basically sure of Huang Guohua's feelings for himself, and it was also certain that Huang Guohua had hatred for the Communist Party.
"Let's eat first, and when we're done, we'll go back to the hotel, and I'll tell you everything we've planned."
Just as the two had just returned to the hotel and sat down, there was a knock at the door, and four Americans appeared outside the door.
Taking advantage of Huang Guohua's lack of attention, the Americans stepped forward to subdue him, blindfold him, and stuff him into a small car.
And Huang Guohua's girlfriend Li Sha calmly watched him being controlled, and the coldness that Huang Guohua had never seen appeared on his face.
All this is a test arranged by Lisha and McMith. Even in the restaurant Huang Guohua has shown loyalty. But the stakes are high, and any slightest mistake can lead to a flop.
For the sake of final success, the two did not dare to be careless, so they brought Huang Guohua back to the United States for the ultimate test.
In the dark basement, Huang Guohua's ears kept hearing the voices of American agents:
"Huang Guohua, a CCP agent, you forged your identity to get close to Li Sha in order to steal intelligence, and we have already mastered the evidence, do you have anything to say?"
"As I said, I have a blood feud with the Communist Party, and Li Sha and I are truly in love with each other, and if you don't believe me, you will kill me."
"Give you another chance, and to be honest you can avoid death." I count to three, and if you don't admit it again, I'll shoot. ”
"One, two, three, shoot!"
With a "bang" shot, Huang Guohua was not shot, and Li Sha walked to Huang Guohua's side from outside the door and unfastened the blindfold covering his head.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Huang Guohua saw Li Sha and the head of the intelligence bureau next to Li Sha, McMith.
This also means that Huang Guohua passed the ultimate test and officially became a member of the Far East Intelligence Bureau.
Agents trained and assassinated Chairman Mao
Considering that Huang Guohua was just an ordinary person, McMister intended to send him to the secret service school to study, including capture, shooting, assassination, radio telegraphy and so on.
What's more, Americans have been distorting the truth about the death of his father, Huang Fusheng, in an attempt to make hatred make Huang Guohua hate the Communist Party even more.
Huang Guohua's performance in the secret service school for nearly two years did not disappoint Li Sha and McMith.
Although at the beginning of the training, Huang Guohua's achievements were not passed, but under the special care of the instructor, Huang Guohua's performance became more and more eye-catching.
In the end, Huang Guohua's results in all subjects were among the best, and his thinking also met McMith's requirements for agents, and his relationship with Li Sha became deeper and deeper.
In early July 1969, after graduating from the Secret Service School, Huang Guohua officially became an agent of the Far East Intelligence Bureau.
At this time, the National Day of October 1, 1969 is getting closer and closer, and Li Sha's assassination plan cannot be delayed.
One night, McMith said to Lisa:
"The assassination plan is about to begin, in order to stabilize Huang Guohua's emotions, I plan to hold a wedding for the two of you, do you have any ideas?"
"I don't have any ideas, I follow the arrangement."
Lisa's answer made Macmys very happy, but when he thought of the feelings between the two, McMith was a little worried:
"You two have been together for so long, it is inevitable that there will be some feelings. If the mission fails, what will Huang Guohua do? ”
Lisa understood that McMith was worried that if the matter was revealed, the intelligence bureau would be deeply involved in the whirlpool of public opinion, so she replied simply:
"It's simple, just kill him."
Soon after, McMith held a grand wedding for the two, and the assassination of Chairman Mao was also in full swing.
After getting ready, Li Sha ran back to the room crying according to McMith's instructions and complained to Huang Guohua:
"I may not be able to live, what should I do?"
"Something's wrong, say it and I'll help you solve it together."
"They asked me to assassinate Mao Zedong, how can I have that ability?" This is almost an unfinished task. ”
Hearing Li Sha's words, Huang Guohua did not have too many unusual expressions, but replied lightly:
"Don't worry, I'll help you do it together."
Huang Guohua's words were right in Li Sha's arms, and she immediately put the plan in its entirety.
First, smuggle into China from the Sino-Vietnamese border, and then find a safe place in China. The watch with the time bomb is then given to the VIP.
This distinguished guest will carry this watch to Tiananmen Square and shake hands with Chairman Mao.
When the guest of honor shook hands with Mao Zedong, he detonated the bomb.
"There's nothing wrong with planning, what do I need to do for you?"
Li Sha smiled: "You and I came to China together, using your previous connections in China, you and I can successfully bring you and me into the Tiananmen Tower to watch the ceremony and become the staff on the spot." ”
"No problem, who is the VIP, I am prepared in advance."
"This waited until the scene, to see who is better to start, who will be the target VIP, and have not yet determined a good candidate!"
When everything was ready, the newlyweds boarded a U.S. military plane with a watch loaded with bombs and flew toward the Sino-Vietnamese border.
At that time, on the plane, in addition to Huang Guohua and the two, there was also a pilot.
During the flight, Huang Guohua unscrewed a bottle of water, drank two sips himself, and handed it to Li Sha: "Drink some water." ”
Seeing that Huang Guohua had already taken two sips, Li Sha did not doubt that he had him, and took a few sips of water. As soon as the water fell, Li Sha felt a dizziness and immediately fainted.
Huang Guohua, who had also drunk water, did not faint together, but took out a rope to tie Li Sha, and then came to the cockpit to subdue the pilot and drive the plane to the Sino-Vietnamese border to Kunming.
It turned out that Huang Guohua already knew Li Sha's true identity. To be precise, the mainland intelligence services have long known about the plan of the United States and Chiang Kai-shek to assassinate Chairman Mao.
Huang Guohua, on the other hand, is the "boyfriend" tailored by the mainland for Li Sha.
The beginning and end of the assassination and the follow-up of Huang Guohua
Since the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the United States has begun to be jealous of China's development, and finally planned to assassinate Chairman Mao.
Because Chairman Mao had the habit of climbing Tiananmen Square on National Day to observe the ceremony, and 1969 was the 20th anniversary of the founding of New China, it was of great significance.
The United States decided that Chairman Mao would definitely watch the military parade at Tiananmen Square, so the assassination was chosen as October 1, 1969, and a code name called "69101 Thorn Hair Project" was quietly born.
In order to complete the task perfectly, the United States defined the scope of the killer as young people who were good at English, good Chinese, had hatred of the Communist Party and were familiar with China.
Li Sha is the killer that Mei Jiang chose to meet the requirements.
As mentioned above, Li Sha's father died in the Liberation War, and soon after her mother died, Li Sha lived with her aunt and was indoctrinated with many bad ideas.
After the plan to assassinate Chairman Mao was determined, Li Sha was adopted as a righteous daughter by McMys and brought back to the United States to learn the skills of an agent. Because Li Sha has a good appearance, she is also known as a "fox fairy".
It's just that Li Sha's identity is somewhat special, and she has always lived in the United States, and if she wants to assassinate Chairman Mao, she must come to the mainland.
Without real mainlanders as helpers, the plan simply could not be realized.
In search of help, Lisa arrived in the Philippines early in 1966.
By the time Li Sha arrived in the Philippines, the intelligence on Chairman Mao's assassination, as well as Li Sha's personal information and address, had already been known to the mainland intelligence departments and handed over to Premier Zhou.
In order to stop the U.S. plan, Premier Zhou gave the intelligence full authority to the Southwest Intelligence Bureau and asked it to select agents to approach Li Sha and wait for the opportunity to sabotage the mission.
Since Li Sha wanted to find helpers, our army gave her a "tailor-made" helper- Huang Guohua.
Huang Guohua, a 16-year-old Communist Party member, has been working underground for a long time, and has lived in the Philippines for a long time, and knows English and Chinese very well.
More importantly, Huang Guohua was handsome in appearance, and his parents were also underground party members, but they were killed by the Kuomintang.
An old party member who was firm in his faith and had a vendetta against the Kuomintang sent him close to Li Sha without worrying about rebellion and being trapped by love.
In this way, Huang Guohua, as the son of Huang Fusheng, followed the dance troupe to the Philippines to perform.
In order to attract Li Sha's attention, Huang Guohua specially came to the stage to help, and sure enough, he attracted her attention.
When Li Sha was waiting for Huang Guohua at the exit, huang Guohua, who did not know at this moment, was also eagerly looking for her at the exit.
After tripping Huang Guohua, he determined that Li Sha was the killer he was looking for, so he asked Li Sha's address and asked for a visit.
After returning to his residence on this day, Huang Guohua reported Li Sha's situation to the organization. With the approval of the organization, Huang Guohua formally pursued Li Sha.
First visit to the house, search for Japan, flight to London, expulsion from the theatre...
All these actions were the result of a joint agreement between the Southwest Intelligence Bureau and Huang Guohua, and the purpose was to gain Li Sha's trust as a suitor and then sabotage her plan to assassinate Chairman Mao.
In the face of Li Sha's use of guns to force confessions and the ultimate test of the US Intelligence Agency, Huang Guohua has long been prepared to deceive McMith and Li Sha with his excellent acting skills and successfully gain everyone's trust.
Including studying at the Secret Service School, Huang Guohua deliberately showed the clumsiness of the newcomers. It was not until he officially became a secret agent and married Li Sha that Huang Guohua was able to complete the initial task.
Before getting on the plane, the Kunming police had already received the news and came to the airport to wait for the arrival of Huang Guohua and others.
On the other side, Huang Guohua was drugged in the water, but he took the antidote himself.
In order to dispel Li Sha's doubts, Huang Guohua took the lead in drinking a few sips of water, and after Li Sha also drank water, Huang Guohua has been observing her state.
Seeing that Li Sha had fainted, Huang Guohua quickly tied her up and controlled the pilot of the plane, turning the plane to Kunming.
As soon as they got off the plane, Li Sha and the pilot were taken away, and Huang Guohua, along with the staff, removed the bomb on the watch.
So far, this seemingly elaborate assassination plan has been completely destroyed.
An assassination of a great man disappeared into invisibility with the joint efforts of the intelligence services and agents.
Regrettably, a week after Li Sha was arrested, Huang Guohua was shot and assassinated by two men when he went out.
These two people are the killers arranged by Li Sha, and no matter what the final result is, Li Sha is determined to kill Huang Guohua.
Preventing the assassination of the great man, but not escaping the assassination of himself, this hero who struggled on the hidden front finally gave his life to protect the country.
