Introduction: On the occasion of the 91st anniversary of the outbreak of the 918 Incident, we tell the story of a Chinese red agent on the underground anti-Japanese secret front, in order to commemorate the countless benevolent people who fought bloodily to resist Japanese aggression.
I. Who detonated the "heart" of the Japanese Kou?
In 1938, Shanghai under the clutches of the Japanese Kou ...
In the bustling Hongkou, there is such a well-guarded place.
△ One door was equipped with six Japanese soldiers standing guard, and the wall was impressively written "Non-Japanese soldiers in and out, shoot on the spot!" ”
When night falls, searchlights on high walls illuminate the place as if it were day. Tight barbed wire and bayonet-wielding patrols remind you all the time that this is a dragon pond tiger's den—
Japanese Navy Munitions Depot.
When Japan landed from Shanghai, there was no land-based aircraft support, and it was all naval carrier-based aircraft bombing Shanghai, so naval ammunition was very important.
△ Japanese aircraft carriers, carrier-based aircraft take off to carry out missions
The Japanese soldiers who swam through the sentry were very vigilant... The bushes in the corners of the walls were blown and grassy, and they were all stabbed with bayonets. I also did not let go under the car, and also lay down to see if there were any Tibetans under the car.
Only a searchlight at the top of the warehouse could illuminate the Japanese soldier, casting his shadow on the high wall and stretching it long. It seems unspeakably weird...
Although the shadow's movements are the same as those of the Japanese soldiers, the shadow seems to have its own thoughts and is uneasy in the darkness.
Suddenly, the "shadow" jumped on a tree and disappeared into the dense leaves...
He's not a shadow! It's a man in a nightshirt!
As long as the night clothes have night cover, and then blacken their faces and hands, even if they are hidden in the shadows, it is difficult for others to detect.
The Nightcrawler jumped gently into a bungalow through a branch, bowed his head and continued to move forward.
Nightcrawler seemed to be very familiar with the place—he seemed to have known the location of the Japanese fixed, wandering, and dark posts. All hide in the sentry's blind spot in advance, or find a place to hide.
Unless there is really nowhere to hide, nightcrawlers venture into the shadows of their enemies and move along.
When I got to a place with a smell of blood and a lot of garbage, "Well, this is the gang room!" ”
He stopped and looked around. Suddenly......
Hear soft footsteps behind you!
The Nightcrawler didn't even think about it, and drew an eyebrow thorn from the dark pocket on his leg. At the same time, turn around, reach out and grab, Emei stab the other person's throat...
"Don't! Other! Other! It's me! ”
Nightcrawler fixed his eyes on the person he was looking for! Yuan Shu!
This action of pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth came from Yuan Shu's handwriting.
His apparent identity is that of a well-known traitor journalist, and he also privately serves as a major general of the military command, an intelligence officer of the Central Command, and an amateur gangster of the Youth Gang... But his most bone-deep identity —
It is our party lurker, a former "special branch" agent. (The CCP was disbanded in 1935, so it was a former agent.)
△ "Five-fold spy" Yuan Shu
Yuan Shu's purpose this time was simple — to avenge the massacre committed by the Japanese Kou in Nanjing last year and to blow up the naval arsenal. This would also weaken the Japanese Naval Air Force and support the Nationalist air battle.
Second, the brothers are here
For this anti-Japanese action, Yuan Shu exhausted his circle of friends and let several waves of "enemies" come together for a goal.
First of all, he didn't have the right dead soldiers under him to carry out the mission- so he found his old friend, Wang Tiemin, the master of the "Iron Blood Hoe Gang", who was the Nightcrawler just now.
The Iron-Blooded Hoe Gang is a patriotic hoeing organization founded by Wang Yaqiao, the leader of the "Axe Gang", who assassinated the king, and the Japanese traitors who killed them did not dare to cry at night
Wang Tiemin followed Wang Yaqiao and sneaked to kill people like chopping melons and cutting vegetables. Especially wearing night clothes to stab, it is really sneaking into the night with the wind, killing people silently. He and Yuan Shu had been friends for many years, and Yuan Shu had run a public account (tabloid) under Wang Yaqiao to eat, and the two of them knew each other at that time.
Therefore, as soon as Yuan Shu came to him, Wang Tiemin, a hot-blooded man, immediately agreed and had no remorse.
Now there are people, and there are still explosives.
After the Japanese army occupied Shanghai, the control of explosives and other materials was very strict, and Yuan Shu could not get such a card figure.
There was no way, Yuan Shu could only ask the military command for instructions on this mission, and smuggle explosives through the relationship between the military command... Dai Kasa, who was far away in Wuhan (at that time the Nationalist government camp was located in Wuhan), was overjoyed to receive the telegram, and he had left Yuan Shu in Shanghai to let him obtain Japanese intelligence, but he did not expect that he could still do something new.
At this moment, Boss Dai's mood was like Chu Yunfei!
Boss Dai doesn't say explosives, immortal medicine is willing to give. He also instructed other military commanders lurking in Shanghai to fully cooperate and rush to assist Yuan Shu in completing his task.
At this time, Yuan Shuxin said that it was broken, and the two groups of people who did not open the anti-Japanese war must fight first!
Wang Tiemin's helper, Wang Yaqiao, died at the hands of the military commander, who also cruelly cut off Wang Yaqiao's face and went back to receive the reward... Wang Tiemin has been looking for an opportunity to kill the people of the military command to avenge the boss, and the military command is also encircling and suppressing the remnants of the "iron-blooded hoe traitor group"...
What to do? Without military command, there would be no explosives! Without Wang Tiemin, no one would put explosives! Can't be lacking!
Yuan Shu had to hide it at both ends, and when he introduced it, he said that the other party was a "friend" - Wang Tiemin heard "friends" and thought that the military commanders were also people in the rivers and lakes; The military unification listens to "friends" and asks questions, which is the default military unification.
The two ends were hidden, and Yuan Shu and Wang Tiemin went to scout the navy's arsenal.
The munitions depot is located in the backyard of a Japanese-owned enterprise, the "Honda Spinning Factory".
Yuan Shu and Wang Tiemin were hired as porters in the spinning mill, and they came to survey the terrain in a bright and upright manner.
Broken! There is a tall and thick wall between the spinning mill and the arsenal, and there are power grids, searchlights on the walls...
The only entrance and exit was guarded by Japanese soldiers with live ammunition, and they were eager to have a door with six people standing guard... Even japanese soldiers must show a special pass to enter and exit...
Hey! How did he go straight in!
Yuan Shu and Wang Tiemin also found that there was a Chinese who purchased food every day and could freely enter and exit...
Success! Right on him.
Wang Tiemin also disguised himself as a rickshaw driver, and this buyer bought vegetables every day and picked him up at a low price. One after another, the two were so acquainted that they were only close to getting married... Wang Tiemin looked for him to drink every night, and after a little bit of cliché, he knew the situation behind the high wall.
Inside, it is heavily guarded, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry... There are those who stand guard openly, and there are those who secretly look at you... There are many warehouses, and there are guards at the door of each warehouse... The Japanese are very fierce, if you don't go to the gang room, look at the warehouse door from a distance will be "three guests" (slap) ...
When Yuan Shu heard these situations, his heart said that it was broken! It was far more complicated than imagined, and Wang Tiemin couldn't cope with it alone. If you want to succeed in action, I'm afraid that the only way to do it is -
I'm out on my own!
Third, Longtan Tiger Cave, leisurely strolling
Not long after, the famous traitor media came to interview the arsenal, a surrender newspaper that advocated "Japan-China goodwill."
The leader of this trip is the editor-in-chief Yuan Shu.
Old Yuan has a big face at the Japanese consulate, and usually talks and laughs with japanese consul Iwai Hideichi. This time, he took the initiative to publicize the military prestige of the "Imperial Army" and display Japan's advanced weapons, so he wanted to lead a team to interview the naval arsenal.
Iwai was worried about the subject matter, and immediately agreed to Yuan Shu's request and issued a special pass to their group of eight people.
However, the warehouse defenders also demanded that the reporter must be accompanied by Japanese troops and not allowed to touch any weapons.
Yuan Shu agreed.
Who knew that there was an unexpected storm in the sky, and when the "chief editor", when visiting the arsenal, he suddenly fell to the ground, his face was black, and his mouth was foaming... The reporters accompanying him panicked, and they could not take care of the interview, so they carried the "chief editor Yuan" out for emergency medical treatment.
The Japanese troops guarding the warehouse also panicked, and several officers thought that it was a leak of "mustard gas" (the biological and chemical weapons used by the Japanese army during the invasion of China), and ordered all the soldiers to wear gas masks and go to the doctor for examination.
In the panic, no one noticed that there were eight people in Chief Yuan's party, and only seven when they carried them out...
The real Yuan Shu exchanged clothes with reporters (military commanders) of similar stature in the toilet. Then the military commander went out to pretend to be ill and attracted the attention of the Japanese soldiers...
At this time, Old Yuan cai walked out of the toilet and sneaked into the gang room of the military fire store (from the purchase mouth, I learned that there is a utility room in the gang room, and usually no one goes)
Yuan Shu became the ghost of the gang room, secretly observing the situation of the Japanese sentry guards and drawing on small pieces of paper with a pen.
The next day, Wang Tiemin would sell a few special winter melons to the buyers.
These few winter melons can be a lot of thought! When the winter melon is not ripe, peel off a piece of melon flesh, pull out the melon, and put the explosive wrapped in oil paper into it. (A melon can not put too much, otherwise it will reveal the filling) and then put the piece of melon meat back.
After another three or five days, the melon meat and melon can be successfully "severed and replanted" and become a complete melon. At most, it is a little scarred, and the problem cannot be seen with the naked eye.
This batch of melons arrived at the gang room, Yuan Shu must preempt the cook, open this batch of winter melons, take out the explosives...
In case someone loses his hand during the handling process and breaks a melon, Yuan Shu will finish playing!
Three days later, Wang Tiemin sold a batch of dishes that were too cheap to refuse, and there was a broken winter melon hidden in it. You don't have to cut it, and it spoils at first glance.
Yuan Shu secretly put the arsenal sentry map into this melon meat, and the buyer will definitely take this winter melon to return it... When the time comes to purchase money, Wang Tiemin will take the map, and everyone will be happy!
Wang Tiemin sneaked into the arsenal compound for the first time, but he was as familiar as walking in his living room - "Let your wind and waves blow, I will walk idly by myself."
Fourth, the sky is shocking
On the night of the mission, Yuan Shu and Wang Tiemin met, and old Yuan almost suffered an eyebrow stab.
He asked Wang Tiemin to crouch in the corner, watching his gestures and then putting down the Japanese soldiers who were patrolling backwards... The first one passed, and Old Yuan did not respond; The second one also passed, and Old Yuan still did not react...
"Why don't you gesture?" Is it instigated? ”
"What's the fuss?" The first one was too fat, the second was too tall, and picking them up if they didn't fit would certainly be suspected. ”
At this time, the third swimming whistle came. It is simply tailor-made for Yuan Shu and grows according to Yuan Shu's style.
As soon as Wang Tiemin stabbed his eyebrows (he couldn't pull it out immediately, he would bleed), and the Japanese soldiers were paralyzed, and Yuan Shu picked up his military uniform and straightened it.
Then Yuan Shu pretended to be a Japanese army swimming sentry, and Wang Tiemin took explosives and hid them in his shadow. Let's walk towards the warehouse together...
Yuan Shu studied in Japan twice, speaking Very slippery in Japanese, and the Japanese boss scolded the street without a heavy sample, when he was Japanese. And he overheard passwords everywhere in the middle of the night, so the road was unimpeded.
Arriving at the door of the arsenal where the aerial bombs were stored, Yuan Shuxin said that it was broken, how could this be more than a dark sentry! - A small door with a soldier's handle and a dark sentry behind it. The distance of the dark sentry is a little far, even if Wang Tiemin shoots as fast as the undefeated in the east, at most three seconds to kill the gatekeeper, the dark sentry will definitely find!
But this could not help Yuan Shu, after the password, he took out a pack of cigarettes: "Come to a cigarette to relieve the fatigue?" And took out one of his own.
△ Japan's "Pengyi" cigarette box during World War II, Yuan Shu often smoked japanese people
One of the Japanese soldiers saw the smoke and his eyes lit up, but he still subconsciously looked back and looked at the reaction of the other Japanese soldier behind him... Yuan Shu understood that the guy was the squad leader, so he quickly gave him one.
"Eight Gags! Arsenal powerhouse! Strictly non-smoking! The Japanese squad leader reprimanded.
"There are still a few steps to go before the arsenal... If you don't smoke it, it's gone, and it's been a long time before you change the guard."
Sure enough, the squad leader hesitated, then took the cigarette. The other two watched the squad leader go into the water and quickly ordered one for themselves... Yuan Shu also shook his cigarette in the direction of the dark whistle, and led the dark whistle out again...
At that time, the scene of "happy and harmonious" was like this -
△ The picture of "Sino-Japanese goodwill" made up by the Japanese Kou shows the puppet army lighting a cigarette for the Japanese army
Yuan Shu quickly slipped away after the smoke was dispersed, and the remaining four devils were reluctant to smoke in one breath, tasting in detail... Old Yuan remembered that on the roof opposite the warehouse, there were ghost officers hanging out every night...
"Eight Gags! You dare to smoke in the arsenal! Give it all to me! ”
Sure enough, those four fools were spotted by the officers smoking cigarettes and are now being trained... The warehouse was unguarded, and Wang Tiemin flipped into the warehouse from the air window and planted a bomb... Yuan Shu pretended to be a doorman and sentry for Lao Wang...
Until Wang Tiemin finished setting off the time bomb, the four unlucky eggs had not returned. Old Yuan and Wang Tiemin hurriedly "the wind tightened and roared"! (Underworld jargon, retreat)
The two men hurried toward the entrance where Wang Tiemin had entered, the sewer leading to the spinning mill next door.
Just as Wang Tiemin had just opened the sewer manhole cover, he found that there were several black hole hole guns around them...
They were surrounded by Japanese troops!
The Japanese officer told them to put the manhole cover immediately, or they would shoot... Yuan Shu knew that a manhole cover was equivalent to a coffin lid, and even if he was clever, he could not make up a story that convinced the Japanese army at this time...
With this hesitation, the officer shouted in Japanese that "all guns are loaded and ready to shoot!" ”
Yuan Shu closed his eyes in despair...
Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and a hurricane threw Yuan Shu down. When Old Yuan understood what had happened, he had already been dragged away by Wang Tiemin in the sewers.
It turned out that Lao Wang was not sure when the time was right, and the bomb exploded in advance!
The aerial bombs detonated were incredibly powerful, and other arsenals were also destroyed. The huge shock wave generated by the explosion threw both the Japanese and Yuan Shu to the ground, and the Japanese guns were also out of their hands... Fortunately, Wang Tiemin was a practicing family and quickly dragged Yuan Shu into the sewers.
By the time the Japanese returned to their senses, Yuan and Wang had already gone from the sewers to the spinning mill and were "pulling" in the car that answered them!
This operation made the faces of the Japanese troops invading China fat, and the people of Shanghai all clapped their hands and applauded.
Afterwards, the Japanese never found out who the two men were that night, and had to declare to the outside world: "This unfortunate incident was caused by a temporary worker accidentally igniting gasoline." ”
When Chiang Kai-shek heard this news, he praised Dai Kasa greatly. Boss Dai also looked at Yuan Shu differently — he had always felt that his background was complicated.
△ Chiang Kai-shek and Dai Kasa
Since then, Dai Kasa has also regarded Yuan Shu as one of the feudal officials of the military command, and even summoned Yuan Shu to Hong Kong to attend the meeting of the backbone of the Military Command Bureau.
5. Hunt and kill the man that Yoshiko Kawashima has a crush on
In the autumn of 1938, a meeting of the backbone of the Kuomintang Military Command Bureau was held in Hong Kong, and It was precisely when Pan Hannian was also treated in Hong Kong. Yuan Shu reported to the Communist Party on the line while attending the high-level meeting of military command...
After the meeting, Dai Kasa also summoned Yuan Shu alone. Not only did he reward him for his merits, but he also awarded 200,000 yuan!
Boss Dai's money is not so easy to get, and Dai Kasa gave him another tricky task -
"Sanction the traitor Li Shiqun!"
"Assassinate Li Shiqun!" Yuan Shu had long known that there would be such a day, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly!
Li Shiqun said that his friendship with Yuan Shu was not shallow, and when Yuan Shu ran a tabloid, Xiao Li and he were colleagues, and the two often exchanged literary insights. Later, they joined the Communist Party separately and were arrested separately...
△ Once "friend" Li Shiqun
The difference is that Yuan Shu wrote a confession, but did not betray the party's secrets; Li Shiqun is a complete defector, what to say.
After the state government moved west (withdrew from Nanjing), Li Shiqun was laid off by the Central Command, and his life was lost, and he collapsed on the Shanghai Beach... Yuan Shunian was in love in the past, so he arranged him in a long-term rental suite at the Huizhong Hotel.
▲ The building on the right is the "Huizhong Hotel", Sun Yat-sen's famous saying "The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still have to work hard" is said here, and the engagement ceremony of Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling was also held here.
This room was rented by Yuan Shu to Wang Tiemin with the money of the military commander, but Lao Wang was not used to living in a large hotel, so he had to live in his shantytown... Yuan Shu thought that all the money was out, and it was empty, so he let Li Shiqun live in.
Yuan Shu did not expect that this one-door action of his own - unwilling to pay money to find a place for Li Shiqun to live, inadvertently caused a catastrophe!
The guests of Huizhong Hotel are either rich or expensive, and Li Shiqun originally had no chance to enter the door... He actually met the traitor Kawashima Yoshiko here, and the two Wang Ba Mungdou met each other, and Li Shiqun had a way to be a traitor.
△ Notorious female agent, Yoshiko Kawashima
Li Shiqun, a small crush of the Central Command, was transformed into a traitorous agent. His traitor organization was not very big when it first opened, barely counting it as a small workshop... However, he was familiar with the operation of the system of central unification and military unification, and he was also bent on revenge, leaving no way back for himself at all, and desperately eradicating the agents of the central and military unification.
The Kuomintang's secret service organization in Huning was almost devastated, so Boss Dai wanted to get rid of Li Shiqun and then quickly.
Of course, Li Shiqun also talked about some sentiments, knowing that Yuan Shu helped the military commander to do things, and he never attacked him.
Before Yuan Shu came to Hong Kong for a meeting, Li Shiqun also sent 500 oceans as a travel fee – now that he is no longer what he used to be, Li Shiqun got the "big project" of the Japanese - and cooperated with another big traitor, Ding Mo Estate, to create the Japanese pseudo-secret service organization "No. 76".
△ The smell of the earthly hell "No. 76"
As a result, as soon as Yuan Shu returned to Shanghai, someone invited him to dinner to wash the dust for him. The place to eat is "No. 76", and it is Li Shiqun who is the east.
Seeing Yuan Shu coming, Xiao Li spoke straight to the point: "Who did you meet in Hong Kong?" ”
Yuan Shuxin said, I want to say that I met Dai Kasa and met Pan Hannian, and you must kill me on the spot.
"I didn't see anyone, so I played with Liu Fangxiong for a few days..."
Yuan Shu knew that Li Shiqun now had eyes and ears, and he must have known that he had been very close to the military in Hong Kong. This Liu Fangxiong is an old friend of their two in common, and he mixes well in the military command, and it should be reasonable to play with him.
At this time, Li Shiqun thought that if Yuan Shu was an enemy, then he could not close his eyes when he slept at night, and he must be fooled into his trenches:
"Chiang Kai-shek will not be able to hold back, Wuhan and Guangzhou have been lost one after another, and half of the rivers and mountains are already in the hands of the Japanese... China is so big, the Japanese can't manage it, in the final analysis, we still have to Chinese to maintain it. Take advantage of the opportunity now, let's do pro-Japanese business together, have money and power and development..."
Seeing that Yuan Shu was not in a good mood, Li Shiqun retreated to the second place: "You and my brothers have been their masters for so many years, in case they want to kill each other... Why don't we make a gentleman's agreement first, and then you won't kill me and I won't kill you. How is it? ”
Yuan Shu immediately raised a glass of agreement, and said in his heart, "Anyway, there is someone else who killed you, let you not kill me first!" ”
Seeing that the "Gentleman's Agreement" had been reached, Li Shiqun was overjoyed, thinking that he could postpone it for a few days in the book of life and death of King Yan. The two of them drank a few more cups... Yuan Shu said that today's state is not good, to go back first, when walking footsteps are still a little hesitant, Li Shiqun also helped him all the way to the gate.
In fact, this way Yuan Shu is measuring with his footsteps - the distance and direction between Li Shiqun's office and Gate 76. At this time, he had already made up his mind to dig a tunnel under Li Shiqun's office, and then use explosives to send this devil to heaven! (Explosives addictive)
After Yuan Shu returned, he kept seeing two people——
One was Wang Tianmu, the station commander of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, and Yuan also made two demands to Wang Tianmu for his own demolition plan and plan:
First, the explosives were just enough to kill Li Shiqun, but it did not affect the comrades of the military command who were detained at No. 76.
Second, take the money, buy a vegetable field next to No. 76, and plan the soil in the vegetable field will not arouse suspicion.
After explaining the requirements to the military commander, Yuan Shu went to see the consul of the Japanese consulate in Shanghai, his superior on the Japanese side, Eiichi Iwai.
- Eiichi Iwai (left)
Yuan Shu was familiar with the contradictions between various factions within Japan: Iwai was the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Ministry of Foreign Affairs + Secret Service), and he had always been worried that the Japanese Army had set up a "Mei organ" (to monitor the organization of the Wang puppet regime) in China, which was obviously the business of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Now that the business of mei organs is good, it has actually registered a sub-brand - No. 76, and the terrorist activities in Shanghai are very sound. All this makes Iwai Hideichi look in his eyes and hate in his heart...
Old Yuan took advantage of the heat to complain to Yanjing, saying that Mei Guan wanted to dig his corner and send a high-ranking official Houlu to let him join "No. 76".
Iwai listened to the smile on his face, and his mother sold *batch* in his heart. But the scene still has to say: "Yuan Jun, we are a small temple, and we can't tolerate the big Buddha." Congratulations on your better development..."
Yuan Shu hurriedly waved his hand: "I have been friends with Iwai Jun for so many years, how could I turn to the army for a little profit?" ”
He had dealt with Iwai for many years, and he could see that his face was not shocked, but his eyes were already revealing the killing machine...
Yuan Shu saw that the arch fire (provocation) was successful, so Shi Shiran went home.
In the next few days, Yuan Shu went from time to time to supervise the construction of the tunnel next to Worker 76, while staring at Wang Tianmu for explosives.
One afternoon when the tunnel was nearing completion, Li Shiqun's men came, "Mr. Li, please come over the palace." ”
Old Yuan was just about to take a suit jacket, but found that the visitor had a coat on his arm, and under the coat... Reveal a pistol!
Sixth, trapped in thieves
Yuan Shu was pressed into No. 76 by five or six agents... Li Shiqun smiled and took him to visit Wang Tianmu, who was tortured to death.
This guy recruited everything, especially Yuan Shu's tunnel blasting plan.
Li Shiqun immediately turned his face and said well, I won't kill you, you won't kill me, but you want to up... He gave Yuan Shu two ways: one was to die, the other was to surrender, and to do things for No. 76.
Yuan Shu said that he would not choose either one, and he would call his wife first...
Li Shiqunxin said that people would be weak when they thought of their wives and children, and 80% of them would surrender, and agreed to Yuan Shu's phone call.
Old Yuan also said bluntly on the phone that he was arrested by No. 76... Mrs. Yuan hurriedly put down the phone and went to find Pan Hannian (Pan just returned to Shanghai). Pan's solution is: go to Iwai, only he can save Yuan Shu.
Iwai heard that "Yuan Shu was caught by No. 76" and drove directly to the scene of No. 76 to ask for people!
Li Shiqun: "He wants to up!" ”
Iwai: "Well, let people go." ”
Li Shiqun: "He wants to up!" ”
Iwai: "I know ~ release people." ”
Li Shiqunxin said, are we chatting on a channel?
Iwai Xin said why didn't you kill a turtle grandson, your army can't dig the foot of the wall, just want to break one of my arms... (Iwai has always been regarded as a contradiction between the Army and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.)
Iwai is similar to a repeating machine, and turning it over and over is a sentence of "release people." Li Shiqun's power was no greater than that of the Japanese, so he had to hold back his anger with tears and let Yuan Shu out.
But Iwai is not a living Lei Feng, he also has his little nine-nine, he wants Yuan Shu to preside over his secret service organization "Iwai Mansion".
△ The former site of the "Iwai Mansion" is dedicated to collecting political, cultural and military intelligence on China
With Pan Hannian's consent, Yuan Shu officially became a "traitor" – he was also the head of the traitor's secret service and the actual head of the spy agency "Iwai Mansion".
Why did Iwai not care about Yuan Shu's suspicion of "anti-Japanese resistance" and still entrust him with a heavy responsibility?
Because Yuan Shu can give him something that others can't give—confidentiality.
Before Japan invaded China, Yuan Shu socialized with Iwai as the editor-in-chief of the "Xingya News Agency" and exchanged information between the two sides.
As early as 1936, Yuan Shu got a heavy secret - the military plan drawn up by the German military adviser Falkenhausen.
There was the "Sino-German Military Cooperation Plan", in which Germany gave the Nationalist government 100 million marks of "Huabei" and allowed Chiang Kai-shek to buy German weapons on credit.
The Nationalist army thus organized the "German Mechanic Division".
△ Nationalist soldier wearing a German-style steel helmet
Even bought German tanks —
△ German-made Type I tank, printed with the "Blue Sky and White Sun" emblem of the National Army
But Yuan Shu found that half of the repayment of the government could not be paid in cash, but with tungsten ore.
There are very few tungsten ore in the National Unification Area, and the world's largest tungsten ore group was in Gannan at that time - it was the Soviet Union!
Yuan Shu keenly judged that Chiang Kai-shek was acting as a trouser to suppress the Communists, and the Soviet area was in danger!
This information also gave the central heroes the determination to break their wrists, abandon the Soviet zone, and start the Long March...
Part of the German advisers' plan was actually the "anti-Japanese strategy" drawn up by Falkenhausen.
△ The German adviser who can be called Chiang Kai-shek's "national teacher", Falkenhausen.
In Falkenhausen's "Proposal on Countermeasures to Deal with the Current Situation", it accurately predicted the direction of the future Sino-Japanese war -
The advice is to the effect that the coast and the north will be lost... The north can rely on the Yellow River as a barrier, and if necessary, dig a levee (the garden mouth plan that lacks virtue and smokes)... The east should resist step by step, gradually taking Nanchang and Wuhan as strategic fulcrums (the Battle of Nanchang and the Battle of Wuhan)... In the end, Sichuan is the last defensive land.
With Pan Hannian's approval, Yuan Shu handed Falkenhausen's proposal to Iwai. The purpose of our Party is to let Japan know that China already has a strategy and determination to resist aggression, and to let Japan not try the law by example.
Iwai also received the most precious treasure for the proposal, which was in line with the maximum interests of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs - the army's red deer could not eat China, and eventually had to rely on the foreign ministry's mouth cannon to end.
Unfortunately, this letter did not kill the heart of the Japanese invasion of China, but only helped Iwai to be promoted to consul...
From then on, Iwai treated Yuan Shu, even if he believed in him, he would use him.
Seven, almost hit the military unification knife
After Yuan Shu took charge of the "Iwai Mansion," in order to wash away his "anti-Japanese suspicions," he published the "Theory of The Founding of Xingya" in the newspaper.
The gist of this "xiongwen" is: The War of Resistance will be defeated, it is better to come and be a traitor, there will be a prize when you come early, and you will be a prize when you come late...
This "well-known" article naturally provoked a lot of scolding, and even someone who was far away in Chongqing couldn't help but be moved to kill when he saw this article.
He was the head of the military command, Dai Kasa.
△ Military commander Dai Kasa
Boss Dai said in his heart, Lao Tzu did not send you to kill the traitor Li Shiqun, how to kill and kill you also to be a traitor! If this doesn't kill you, the military command law will not stand!
So under the order of Boss Dai, Li Shiqun slowed down first, let Yuan Shu cut in a line, and hoe the adulterer to hoe him first!
Almost at the same time, Pan Hannian got the news from the internal line of the military command, hurry!
△ Yuan Shu's on-line, Pan Hannian
The military commander could hide from Chu Yi for fifteen years, but he couldn't directly say to Dai Kasa, "Yuan Shu is an agent of our party, are you okay with your noble hands?" ”
Just these few days, Yuan Shu also found that there was an unidentified car following him. Even at home, there are people nearby who probe the brain... Yuan Shu was too familiar with all this, wasn't this what the terrain looked like when he organized the hoeing!
He was well aware of the severity of the assassination of the military commander, and since he could not hide it, he simply wrote a confession letter -
Li Chen's own bitterness was that Wang Tianmu, the director of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, sold me, "I don't live up to Qing, and Qing can't pit me."
Then he also painted cakes for Dai Kasa, and the reason why he "endured humiliation and stole his life was to save his useful body, Xu Tu's grand plan to recover!" (I Yuan Shu still have use value, you first calm down)
The letter is written with great literary brilliance, and those who see it are sad and tearful... But Yuan Shu was worried, how should this letter be sent? Can Dai Kasa believe it like this?
It must be handed over by a trustworthy dai kasa before the old fox can believe it.
When Yuan Shu and Pan Hannian discussed, Pan patted his chest and promised, "Rest assured, this letter will definitely be delivered to you." ”
Pan Hannian handed the letter to our party lurker Hua Kezhi, (click on the blue character to understand how Hua Kezhi restrained Zhou Fohai) Lao Hua is now in contact with The Wang pseudo-traitor Zhou Fohai. At the same time, Zhou Fohai was also the "inner ghost" of the military command, and regularly reported to the military command. He came to hand over this letter, and Dai Kasa would definitely believe it!
Yuan Shu and Hua Kezhi were also old friends, and the old Yuan had originally run a tabloid under Wang Yaqiao, and Yuan Shu had also made an appointment with Hua Kezhi to write a manuscript - Hong Qizhuo
Soon, news came from within the military command that the "hoeing" against Yuan Shu had been canceled.
Old Yuan, safe!
Viii. Secret service organizations became anti-Japanese institutions
There are four buildings in the "Iwai Mansion", one of which is the "Shanghai Compilation Society". In fact, it is a cultural and propaganda agency of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. According to the current common name, the "Five Yen Party", the president is a latent Communist Party member Yun Yiqun.
The personnel and finances of the entire mansion were coordinated by Weng Congliu, and he was also a fake communist.
Old Yuan also set up an underground radio station of our party in the Iwai mansion, and the director of the station was Peng Keping, a member of our party.
Every day, he copied and received broadcasts from Yan'an and Chongqing, and in addition to sending a copy to the Japanese, he also regularly sent a copy to Pan Hannian. If the Shanghai underground party has important information, it is often secretly filmed and sent by the secret radio station of the "Iwai Mansion" in the middle of the night.
In this way, under the eyes of the Japanese, the radio wave connection between the Party Central Committee of Yan'an and the underground Party of Shanghai has never been interrupted.
Old Peng often worked overtime to make the Japanese radio direction finding vehicles look for Yuan Shu to report -
"There seems to be a radio station in the mansion, and the frequency, band, and call sign don't look like ours!"
Yuan Shu, who was angry, patted the table, "Lao Tzu has several secret radio stations to report to you!" ”
Yuan Shu dared to be so bold, inseparable from Iwai's trust in him. In order to reassure the Japanese, the underground party often played double reeds with Yuan Shu:
For example, the underground party of the Communist Party of China intends to arrange some office space in Shanghai, casually put a few documents, and let Yuan Shu take people to copy them - this KPI is rubbing upwards.
When the party organization found out that someone had defected, yuan Shu was also arrested -- the traitors did not recruit the same, but they fought even harder--anyway, they had to clean up the portal.
With the cooperation of our party, Yuan Shu became the most "victorious" figure in the Japanese and special organs, and not only won the trust of Eiichi Iwai, but even the Ministry of Foreign Affairs knew that there was a figure like Yuan Shu.
Iwai watched his "Iwai Mansion" performance blowout, and did not skimp on bonuses - every month to allocate Iwai Mansion 200,000 "preparation tickets". Weng Congliu, the financial director of the mansion, worked diligently, and as soon as the money arrived every month, he would remit 100,000 yuan to Pan Hannian as a fund for our party's activities.
The Iwai Mansion, a secret service organization, was played as a progressive group that loved the country and the party, but the namer, Eiichi Iwai himself, did not know it.
By 1942, the world situation was in turmoil:
In the first year, the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor was successful, and the US military was on the islands in the Pacific, lest the sky be obscured by Japanese Zero fighters; The Japanese army also frequently succeeded in Nanyang, and MacArthur shouted "I will come back!" "Biancang fled the Philippines; The British army in Southeast Asia was also overwhelmed, and the commander-in-chief of the British army in Singapore actually led more than 90,000 British troops to surrender to 30,000 Japanese troops...
In Europe, germany blitzed the Soviet Union. German armored spearheads rampaged across the Great Plains of Eastern Europe, Leningrad was filled with wolf smoke, Moscow artillery rumbled, and Stalingrad had been reduced to a scorched earth...
What General Secretary Stalin of the Soviet Union was most worried about was whether Japan would attack the Soviet Union from the east. If he was convinced that Japan would not act, Stalin could send hundreds of thousands of well-trained Far Eastern Front troops to the Western Front to fight the Nazis.
This question of the success or failure of the anti-fascist war --
Listen to Yuan Shu's answer!
At the beginning of 1942, Yuan Shu visited Japan as a Japanese and pseudo-representative because of his outstanding performance - equivalent to the feeling that the boss of the branch returned to the headquarters for a meeting.
The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Haruyoshizaburo Nono, revealed to Yuan Shu that "Japan still remembers the enmity of Nomonkan, so it is not ready to help Hitler and continues the "southward strategy." (Invasion of Southeast Asia)
In 1938, Germany and Japan agreed to attack the Soviet Union. As a result, the Japanese army was in Nomonkan, and Zhukov could not take care of his own life, but Germany never sent troops, and since then Japan has taken revenge - Hong Qizhu
Yuan Shu reported this information to Pan Hannian, who then passed it on to Yan'an, who then transferred it to Moscow - in the end, Stalin confidently and boldly transferred hundreds of thousands of elite divisions from the Far East to participate in the defense of Stalingrad, turning the situation of the Great Patriotic War in one fell swoop...
Old Yuan, the contribution is indispensable!
In addition to this piece of information related to the general situation of the world, Yuan Shu also passed on a lot of information to save the Chinese revolution, such as:
In 1939, Britain and France attempted to betray China in exchange for Japanese support for the "Munich in the Far East" conspiracy;
In late 1941, the Japanese army showed signs of going south to capture Southeast Asia
With the deployment of Japanese troops in southern Jiangsu and the clearance of the countryside, the New Fourth Army was able to jump out of the "fence wall" of the Japanese and pseudo-encirclement many times;
Once Lu Xun's wife Xu Guangping was captured by No. 76, or Yuan Shu personally went to save people, otherwise Lady Lu almost became a martyr.

There is too much money, and we have opened a bank for our party
In March 1945, Japan's defeat was decided. Yuan Shu and Iwai discussed selling the property of the mansion in case it would be confiscated by the Allies in the future...
Iwai was grateful or old Yuan thought far, so he entrusted this matter to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu quickly concentrated the property of more than 10 units belonging to the "Iwai Mansion" - selling it if it could be sold, and being able to do it. All exchanged for gold foreign currency, enough to fill three large leather boxes...
As a result, Iwai did not even see the shadow of these three boxes, and these three boxes were sent to Yan'an, and the central government used these money as a security deposit to open a "border area bank". (Think about how much it costs)
Before the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Yuan Shu was appointed by the Kuomintang as the commander of the "Fifth Column of the New System Einsatzgruppen of the Loyal Salvation Army", and the commander of the third station directly under the military command, and was awarded the rank of lieutenant general.
Dai Kasa also entrusted someone with a message, saying that the old Yuan "coped well with the Japanese" and arranged for him to fly to Chongqing on October 10 to meet Boss Dai.
Yuan Shu agreed with his mouth, but three days before meeting Dai Kasa, he took the guns and ammunition (all small weapons) collected from the Japanese and fakes, and loaded ten wooden boats with ten wooden boats, and rushed to the liberated areas of northern Jiangsu.
It was not until the beginning of 1946 that the Kuomintang learned that "Lieutenant General Yuan has defected to the Communists!" "Yuan Shu, a meritorious member of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression," immediately became "Yuan Shu, a traitor of the Communist Party," and the military command issued a hunting order against Yuan Shu!
Yuan Shu (Zeng Dazhai)
Unfortunately, this time Yuan Shuren was already in the Liberated Areas, and the military commander couldn't help him...
Since then, "Yuan Shu", who was climbing the ice and lying on the snow on the hidden front, has disappeared. He lived under the pseudonym "Zeng Dazhai" under the bright sun of New China...
△ Yuan Shu after liberation (Zeng Dazhai)
On November 26, 1987, Yuan Shu died in Beijing. His urn, covered with a party flag, was placed in the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery.
Yuan Shu's son Zeng Hu (who changed his surname to Zeng) wrote in his elegy: "He died when the first heavy snow fell this year, when I pushed his body through the courtyard to the morgue, the wind stopped and the snow stopped, and the ground was full of snow and silver flowers, and it was extremely solemn under the lights of the courtyard...
In 2010, the "Biography of The Characters of the History of the Communist Party of China" specially compiled by the Chinese Communist Party History Figures Research Association was published.
There is a special chapter in the book about Yuan Shu's life deeds, affirming that Yuan Shu "completed the special mission entrusted by the party despite his personal reputation."
Yuan Shu's life, the coffin is conclusive, sonorous!
