He was a peasant boy from a poor background, and by virtue of his diligence and studiousness, he gained the opportunity to change his destiny, joined the party and joined the revolution, and became a hero hidden in the darkness. He was also a desperate prisoner in the Japanese army prison, gritting his teeth in the face of severe torture, and his heart was bright in the darkest hour.
Finally, forced to petition his comrades-in-arms, he immediately said the shocking six words: Comrade, please strangle me.
He is Ren Yuan, taken from the meaning of ren chong and long road, so what kind of situation will make this unswerving warrior bent on death, and what will be the end after that?
Knowledge changes destiny, and resolutely devotes himself to the revolution
Ren Yuan's real name is Ma Jiashan, born in 1919 in Suide County, Shaanxi Province, a peasant family, counting him, the family already has seven children, which has brought great pressure to the already poor family, whose parents are poor farmers facing the loess soil, no money and no culture, in order to support the family, they have to work harder to support their families.
Born in such a family, Ren Yuan's chances of being able to receive an education are slim, but fortunately, the heavens have taken care of him, and since he was a child, he has shown a super talent for learning. Because he didn't have money to go to school, Ren Yuan could only secretly listen to classes at the private school at the entrance of the village, and his academic performance was even better than that of his classmates in the house.
Mr. Teaching was amazed, and quickly found Ren Yuan's parents, and took the initiative to propose tuition reduction and hope not to let the genius be buried, and the old couple saw that their son was so prominent, and finally gritted his teeth and hollowed out the family foundation to push him on the road to study.
Of course, at this time, Ren Yuan's parents are still unclear, it is this move, what kind of legend will be created, they only know that in the next few days to find more odd jobs, eat less meat, as far as possible will not give up.
Fortunately, Ren Yuan did not let his parents' efforts be wasted, he desperately absorbed knowledge and culture, and within a few years, he was admitted to the Shaanxi Provincial Normal School with the top results in the county.
This was equivalent to being admitted to the jinshi in ancient times, and after graduation, not to mention the official luck and prosperity, you can also be a gentleman and get a lot of commissions. The fathers and elders in his hometown rejoiced, but it was obvious that Ren Yuan's ambitions did not stop there, and he never thought about the future in school, only that he could dedicate his modest efforts to change the crisis in China.
Therefore, after coming into contact with communist ideas, Ren Yuan was deeply attracted, he knew that this was the road to China's salvation, and he also understood that this was the only cause he had in this life.
In this way, Ren Yuan successively joined the regiment and joined the party, and began the revolutionary road of participating in the movement while studying. Ren Yuan's talent was very high, and he studied our party's ideas more deeply than others, so it was not long before the Yan'an side noticed this new person, and the organization gave him the opportunity to go to Yan'an for further study, and he did not disappoint the chief, not only passed the cultural knowledge, but also showed a super talent for reconnaissance and defense.
In line with the concept of teaching according to his aptitude, the general of the organization, Ren Yuan, arranged to enter the study of the Anti-Japanese University, and after completing his studies, when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was in full swing, he was transferred to the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region for internship.
In the military district, Ren Yuan's diligence and hard work are at a glance, he has done every job with all his strength, and he will defend every piece of intelligence with his life. Good steel should be used on the blade, so after witnessing Ren Yuan's ability, the party organization was also completely relieved, and they gave Ren Yuan an extremely important task, that is, to go to the east of Hebei, that is, close to the three northeastern provinces to spy on the virtual reality of the Japanese occupation zone.
At that time, the three eastern provinces were like a monolith under the management of the Japanese army, the Japanese and puppet troops were intertwined here, and the Kuomintang military command and the Central Command did not know the enemy and friends, and wanted to obtain effective intelligence from here like a tiger pulling teeth.
Many intelligence personnel of our party have died here, so for Ren Yuan, it is false to say that he is not afraid at all, and he is also a person, but after much thought, in the end, the revolutionary faith still overcomes the fear, and he took the task and rushed to Jidong in the middle of the night and began a formal journey behind enemy lines.
When he first arrived in Jidong, Ren Yuan was startled by the complicated situation here, and next to his joint location was the station of the Japanese Kwantung Army, which can be said to be a life-threatening place if he is not careful. But Ren Yuan did not flinch, he thought that everything was coming, even the tiger mouth himself had to pull out a tooth.
With this will, Ren Yuan successfully infiltrated behind the enemy, and he skillfully used the knowledge he learned in kang da and the laws he had explored, and collected a lot of intelligence under the eyes of the enemy. For example, military deployment, local public opinion and public sentiment, not only that, but then he united a large number of local soldiers and civilians in the northeast who did not want to become slaves to the country, forming a powerful force in the enemy's hinterland, not only laying the foundation for the future liberation of the three eastern provinces, but also disrupting the japanese army's offensive planning several times.
Such a feat, Ren Yuan can be said to be the greatest achievement, so that even Nie Rongzhen, who has always been calm, admired.
At that time, it was already 1944, and the Japanese Kou had been like grasshoppers after the autumn for a long time, so Ren Yuan also returned to the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region for a short rest according to the orders of his superiors. Ren Yuan was relieved by the long-lost peace, but just as he was relaxing a little, a huge crisis was quietly brewing.
He was besieged and unfortunately captured
On October 16, 1944, various organs and units of the Jirebian Special Committee launched a meeting, including Ren Yuan, with nearly 800 cadres of our party's size participating, in order to study and carry out various issues of rent reduction and interest reduction for the local people.
At the meeting, everyone spoke enthusiastically, seeing that the rudiments of the plan were about to be established, but at this moment, an accident suddenly occurred, and the gunfire outside the village was everywhere, and a Japanese division of more than 5,000 people seemed to encircle our side.
What's going on? It turned out that it was a cadre who transported intelligence who was discovered by the enemy before, and although he himself died heroically, the information on his body was accidentally deciphered by the Japanese army, which caused this crisis.
However, now is not the time to dwell on responsibility, how to highlight the heavy siege is the most important thing, but the difference between the enemy and our forces is huge, the Japanese army has more than 5,000 elite troops, our army counts only a few hundred civilian cadres, the enemy has already set up an ambush to "wait for the good news", but our army can only move forward in the dark.
In desperation, the party members and cadres had no choice but to break through separately and in a split-time manner, and they could run one by one, and strive to leave a spark for the revolution.
The effect of this decision was remarkable, the original dead end was broken by our army, and finally more than a hundred people escaped from the enemy's carefully arranged encirclement, but the other five hundred or so people were not so lucky, of which 430 died on the spot, 150 were unfortunately captured, and Ren Yuan was one of them.
After learning this news, the party Central Committee was extremely distressed, and Marshal Nie Rongzhen even wept on the spot: This battle was the biggest loss of our North China Military Region.
However, it is useless to say that it has been said that it is useless to say that it is not useful to say that it is necessary to avoid the losses caused by the subsequent intelligence leak, but it is not that the organization does not trust these captured personnel, but that the information they have is too important, and once it is leaked, then the entire Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region and even our party organization throughout the country will usher in a disaster.
Especially Ren Yuan, as a key figure in the local underground intelligence organization, he not only has a large amount of enemy intelligence known to our army, but also the contact code of multiple radio stations, if he chooses to defect, the situation that is difficult to move back to will be repeated again.
Of course, our army knows this and the Japanese army is also aware of this, and they know through the confessions of traitors that as long as they get the codebook hidden by Ren Yuan, they can uproot the intelligence network of the Eighth Route Army.
So in the face of such a dangerous situation, what choice will Ren Yuan make?
First of all, Ren Yuan thought of killing Chengren.
When Ren Yuan, who was seriously injured, woke up, he had already arrived at the Japanese prison, and in this dark environment, the first thing he thought of was suicide, because although he was unswerving, he did not dare to guarantee that the Japanese army would use some dirty means to extract confessions, rather than passively accepting severe torture, it was better to die.
But how to die? He was seriously injured and could not move, the sharp objects around him had long been taken away by the Japanese army, and his every move was also under the control of the Japanese army, it was really more difficult to commit suicide than to live. Fortunately, looking at the bucket not far away, he had a plan, that is, water poisoning.
You may not know that in fact, drinking a lot of water can also cause death, especially in the case of serious injury, a large amount of water pours into the body, resulting in blood being diluted to death can only be faster.
When all was said and done, Ren Yuan began to express his thirst uninterruptedly, asking the guards for bucket after bucket of white water, followed by a binge drink. Unfortunately, however, Ren Yuan's actions were discovered by the Japanese army, and an officer who was proficient in human anatomy immediately guessed Ren Yuan's purpose, not only ordered people to take the bucket away, but also strictly controlled Ren Yuan's diet to prevent him from committing suicide again.
The plan failed, and at the same time Ren Yuan also ushered in more brutal torture from the enemy, and all kinds of large tortures were used over and over again, and he was no longer humanoid in a few days. But even so Ren Yuan still gritted his teeth and did not reveal half a point, seeing the Japanese puppet agent, he even used all his strength to break his mouth and scold, how ugly the scolding was, in order to make the enemy angry and ashamed, so as to give himself a pain.
What Ren Yuan did not expect was that in the face of his own "filthy words", this group of beasts was not angry, but also treated him more and more preferentially, not only sending a famous doctor to treat his injuries, but also sending a Chinese to take good care of him.
Ren Yuan was desperate, he knew that the enemy was convinced that he was a high official, and wanted to grind slowly, as long as he did not defect, he would usher in a way that he could not survive and could not die.
Helplessly, Ren Yuan had to choose a hunger strike, not eating or drinking every day, and even the comrade who was sent to him loved to answer. It was not until a few days later, a chance look, that Ren Yuan recognized the identity of the man, this person was named Li Yong, and he was also an underground intelligence officer, and fortunately, Li Yong's identity was not revealed, and the enemy always thought that he was just a grassroots fighter.
Ren Yuan's overjoyed hope also ignited again, but this hope was not to escape, but he wanted Li Yong to act and end his life.
"Comrade, please strangle me"
This was the reason why Ren Yuan was bent on death at the beginning, and indeed instead of continuing to be tortured, dying at the hands of his comrades was indeed the best choice, but to his surprise, after a moment's hesitation, Li Yong chose to refuse, and he said with tears:
"Comrade, it is not that there is no other choice, even if there is none, I really can't do this in the face of revolutionary comrades-in-arms..."
Seeing Li Yong like this, Ren Yuan also sighed darkly, but when he thought about it, he was inspired by the words of the other party, and immediately thought of a brilliant choice - deception
PUBG to save the game
Why did you choose to surrender? Will the Japanese really believe it? In fact, Ren Yuan didn't know this, he only knew that he couldn't just die like this, even if he died, he would have to "pit" the enemy one last time before dying.
Ren Yuan's plan was like this, he knew that if he directly chose to surrender, the Japanese army would certainly not believe it, so he decided to subtly let the Japanese army see its "weakness".
Ren Yuan began to emulate the ancients and made a move that must be done before surrendering, first asking the Japanese army to change the prison for himself, improve his diet, and clothing, and then seeing that the enemy believed that he was about to surrender to the enemy, he hesitated to say some innocuous information, such as the lurking place of our party's underground personnel, the organizational composition of our party's underground organization, and so on.
What Ren Yuan said was eight points true and two points false, and the location and composition were true, but the Japanese army did not know that as early as a year ago, these garrisons had been completely abandoned, and when they rushed to the scene to arrest them, they would not only return in vain, but also let the organization be aware that he had not mutinied but continued to work hard.
But the question is, after finding out that he has been tricked, won't the enemy be angry and corrupt?
Of course, and this is part of Ren Yuan's plan, when the Japanese army asked why the intelligence was wrong, he directly said that he had not been mentally prepared before, but now he can tell you a big secret, Ren Yuan pretended to hesitate for half a moment before saying:
"Zhang Airen, head of the Shanhaiguan Security Regiment, you know, he is my sincerity, and this person is the highest-ranking spy of our party within the Japanese puppet army."
So who is this Zhang Airen? It turned out that just a year ago, he really expressed his intention to defect to our army and expressed his willingness to cooperate with our party in order to seek an official and a half-post after the war.
Naturally, our Party welcomed those who abandoned the secret and surrendered to the Light, so General Li Yunchang, then commander and political commissar of the Thirteenth Military Subdistrict of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, reached an agreement with him: Zhang Airen would provide ammunition and materials for our Party, and our army would be responsible for receiving the puppet uprising under his command.
At first, the plan went very smoothly, and Zhang Airen actually sent a large amount of supplies to our army, but who thought that at the critical moment of the uprising, the intelligence personnel of our army found that this was a complete conspiracy!
If there is any uprising, a large number of elite Japanese troops are stationed in the agreed places between the two sides, and it can be said that if our army did not detect it in advance, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At this time, Zhang Airen could offend our army a lot, and it was precisely because of such a long ren that he would think of offering him out. Ren Yuan considered that after the failure of the previous Japanese mission, he must have doubted whether there was a traitor inside, and Zhang Airen really had contact with our army, saying that he was a traitor, and even if the Japanese army did not believe it, he would definitely think about it.
Therefore, in order to ensure that the enemy took the bait, Ren Yuan said Zhang Airen's name, and then made up the story like a decent one, he said that Zhang Airen actually defected to the Nationalist Army and our party one after another at a very early stage, he has been tangled between the two, or until the last ambush to strengthen his conviction, if you do not believe it, you can think carefully, last year's encirclement plan was seamless, why did our army choose to withdraw at the last moment? Why did Zhang Airen gain the trust of his superiors and not want to offend our army?
Hearing this, the various generals of the Japanese army, Mao Sai, immediately sent people to arrest Zhang Airen, not only tortured him, but finally even if he was not determined to be a spy, he was still sent to the mine to be reduced to a laborer.
Zhang Airen fell, Ren Yuan's position in the minds of the Japanese army naturally rose, and under the trust of the Japanese army, Ren Yuan also attacked again, he has confessed a number of false information, first let a number of puppet army leaders be wrongfully killed by the enemy, but also let the intelligence system of our army get rid of the crisis several times.
After several times and three times, Ren Yuan had become a "fragrant feast" within the enemy, and the Japanese military high command made him a "model", for which he was specially lifted from house arrest and prepared a mansion and a luxury car for him to show encouragement.
Ren Yuan finally felt the freedom he had been missing for a long time, but now was not the time to relax, and how to return to the base area under the eyes of the enemy was still a key problem that plagued him.
How do I get in touch with my organization? Ren Yuan fell into contemplation, but before he could take action, the organization took the lead in coming to the door, and an underground worker went through all kinds of hardships, which finally bought the guard to see Ren Yuan, and the comrades saw the two of them hugging each other tightly and crying together.
After the mood eased slightly, Ren Yuan immediately reported on the work of more than a year, but the comrade interrupted him and said:
"Don't worry about anything else, let's go home first..."
In this way, Ren Yuan finally returned to the organization he had been thinking about day and night, Marshal Nie Rongzhen personally picked up the wind and dust for him, and after three rounds of drinking, he asked what had happened, and after hearing that Ren Yuan had fraudulently surrendered and killed a number of puppet military officials in succession, even Nie Shuai, who had been in the battlefield for a long time, could not help but give a thumbs up.
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, it is reasonable to say that Ren Yuan's qualifications can "see the light of day" and come to the surface to enjoy the worship of the people, but he rejected this glory.
After a short rest, Ren Yuan resolutely returned to the "old business" and came to Beiping during the Liberation War to continue his special intelligence work.
With the help of Ren Yuan, a large number of local secret service organs in Peiping were uprooted, and hundreds of secret agents were personally arrested by him.
After the founding of New China, Ren Yuan was not idle for a moment; he was personally assigned by the CPC Central Committee to work at the Public Security Bureau of the Ministry of Railways, and he also made great contributions when Chairman Mao and others visited abroad.
Since then, Ren Yuan has been engaged in secret work and dedicated his life to the party and the people, but it is regrettable that until 2019, before Ren Yuan's death in Beijing, his identity has always been a secret, and he has always been an old hero hidden in the dark and not known by the people.
More than ten years old to join the party and join the army, more than eighty years of dedication of blood, along the way through thorns, several times in life to survive, Ren Yuan's life can be called legendary, and his story also just confirms the lyrics that have been very popular recently:
"Who says a hero is one who stands in the light?"
Let us pay tribute to Comrade Ren Yuan!
