The legendary agent lurking in the heart of the Japanese pseudo-Japanese used a stick figure to save 90,000 lives of the New Fourth Army, who is he? And how did it manage to rescue the New Fourth Army so delicately? The next content will take us to find out.
During the War of Resistance Against Japan, in addition to the officers and men of our army charging on the battlefield, in invisible places, there was a very hidden secret front responsible for work behind enemy lines. The reason why there is the word "hidden" is because in such an environment, although it does not seem to be fighting with the enemy openly, it is also full of dangers.
Many of our military personnel engaged in this work may be unknown until the day of death, and no one remembers their names. On this secret front of our Party, there is such a strange man, who not only acts high-profile, but is also very good at disguise, and even made public his identity as a member of the Communist Party. But what people didn't expect was that he walked on the tip of the knife, but his whole body retreated. His jaw-dropping approach also sent our party one valuable piece of information after another during the War of Resistance Against Japan. Well, who is this "legendary agent"? What amazing things did he do?
The "legendary agent" was Shi Yaf, born in 1914 into a poor family, his father was an ordinary worker, and his mother was an ordinary housewife. When he was a child, Shi Yafu read very little, and if nothing else, Shi Yaf would grow up to inherit his father's business and become an ordinary worker, but the era he lived in changed his life's destiny. At that time, China was in the midst of great changes, and Shi Yafu, who was only 14 years old, was also wrapped in the wheel of history rolling forward.
14-year-old Shi Yafu, who participated in the revolutionary uprising for the first time, this was also his first contact with revolutionary ideas, since then, Shi Yafu's life trajectory has changed, after that, Shi Yafu joined the Chinese Red Army, in just 3 years, he grew rapidly, from a hairy boy to a Red Army soldier, in 1930, he also officially joined the Communist Party. After the outbreak of the "918" incident, Shi Yaf's Red Army team was scattered by the enemy, and Shi Yaf, who had lost contact with the organization, had to go incognito and began to work underground.
At this time, Shi Yafu was subordinate to the Nantong Special Committee, and it was not until 1931 that Shi Yafu rediscovered the organization and joined the 19th Route Army to be responsible for the work of military transportation. However, in April of that year, Shi Yafu was betrayed by the traitors, imprisoned by the Kuomintang, and lost contact with the organization again. Fortunately, this prison sentence soon ended, and after his release, Shi Yaf continued to carry out underground work for our party, but unexpectedly, in 1934 he was betrayed by traitors again, and unlike the last time, this time, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison, this year, he was only 19 years old, but he was already arrested twice for revolutionary work.
In prison, there was another inmate named Chen Duxiu in the same prison as him. When it comes to the name Chen Duxiu, everyone is familiar with him, he is a famous revolutionary pioneer. Therefore, Shi Yafu was influenced by Chen Duxiu, he continued to enrich himself, and also learned a lot from Chen Duxiu, until 4 years later, Japan bombed Nanjing, coincidentally, just bombed Shi Yafu's prison, Shi Yafu saw the opportunity coming, and took advantage of the chaos to escape.
He picked up a random bicycle on the street and rode all the way back to Nantong from Nanjing, and the first thing he did after returning to his hometown was to contact the organization, but the domestic situation was very chaotic at that time, and Shi Yafu finally got in touch with the organization. However, Gu Wenxian, the secretary of the Nantong County Party Committee at that time, did not give him specific work tasks, and in the current national crisis, Secretary Gu just gave him a gun and asked him to fight the devil.
So, Shi Yafu contacted a few old subordinates before, pulled up a team, and began to prepare to fight the devil. But they face a very important problem: people have them, but they don't have weapons. Even counting the gun given by Secretary Gu, this team of dozens of people only has two guns when it is full. Coincidentally, Shi Yafu heard that a group of deserters from the security regiment came from Nantong, Shi Yafu said that these deserters must have guns on them, so he found this group of people through connections, this group of deserters has been scared by the Japanese, as soon as he heard that weapons can be changed for food and clothes, he immediately nodded and agreed, so Shi Yafu had dozens of guns and thousands of bullets in his hands.
With a gun and a man, Shi Yaf began to fight the devil, his first target was the arsenal of the little devil, and on a dark and windy night, Shi Yaf sneaked in with a group of people, killed the guards, and removed a large number of weapons. After that, Shi Yafu's team became larger and larger, and the organization saw Shi Yafu's achievements and recognized his ability, so in 1940, he received a very difficult task, that is, to break into the Wang puppet government and obtain intelligence from these puppet army. At that time, the Japanese were preparing for the Wang puppet government and were in need of manpower, and Shi Yafu had a gun, which was quickly reused, became the captain of the gendarmerie, and became the head of the special agent.
I have to say that Shi Yafu is very smart and has a talent for acting, when he heard that Wang Jingwei's puppet army was preparing to expand, to vigorously incorporate local armed forces, he knew the news, immediately calculated it, on the same day he ordered his subordinates to post notices in the city, the content of the notices is varied, but there is a common feature, that is, all the money is Shi Yafu, the commander of the 7th Division.
You know, where was Shi Yafu at that time, what kind of division commander, his soldiers added up, there were only about 200 people, but Wang Jingwei did not know the inside situation, seeing such an armed force, Wang Jingwei sent Yan Diannan to recruit troops, after the two met, Shi Yafu boasted that he had more than 10,000 people under him, strong soldiers and horses, and was a force that should not be underestimated.
Yan Diannan was very happy when he heard it, but he also kept an eye on it, wanting to see the roster of soldiers, in fact, Shi Yafu had so many people, but he was not panicked at all, he lied that the troops changed frequently during this period, and the personnel were more chaotic, so Yan Diannan did not worry, give him time to sort it out overnight. Sure enough, on the next day, a carefully sorted roster was handed to Yan Diannan, who was very happy after seeing the list, and hurriedly invited Wang Jingwei to take credit, and half a month later, Shi Yafu received a message from Wang Jingwei and invited him to Nanjing to discuss important matters.
Under the introduction of Wang Jingwei, Shi Yafu got to know a number of high-ranking Japanese military officials, and several people talked happily, and Wang Jingwei also appreciated Shi Yafu very much. Shi Yafu was awarded the rank of lieutenant general and became a famous "big traitor" in the Wang puppet government. Perhaps some friends will be curious, why was Yan Diannan deceived by a fake roster? It turns out that everyone on this roster is real, but these people have nothing to do with Shi Yafu, they are all names that Shi Yafu found from the phone book and the account book of the fellows.
People's names and home addresses are true, but the number of the gun is made up, which can only say that Shi Yafu is bold, and no matter how big Yan Diannan's brain hole is, he can't imagine that someone will make up an army of 10,000 people out of thin air. After entering the enemy's interior, Shi Yafu was mixed with the wind, not only did not delay stealing intelligence, but his status in the army rose day by day. Because Shi Yafu could speak and get things done, he also managed to gain the trust of the Japanese Nanpu, who at that time was not only a high-ranking official in the Japanese army, but also a Chinese expert. He had worked as a spy for several years, and after hearing about Shi Yaf, he wanted to test Shi Yafu.
After the two met, Nanpu asked Shi Yafu straight to the point if he was a member of the Chinese Communist Party, and when he first heard the question, Shi Yafu was indeed taken aback, but he thought about it and calmed down, feeling that Nanpu was deceiving himself. So, Shi Yafu smiled slightly and said to Nanpu: "Yes, I am a member of the Communist Party, but what is this, aren't Zhou Fohai and Li Shiqun also members of the Communist Party?" After a brief contact between the two of them, Nanpu relaxed his heart, immediately raised his glass, and drank happily with Shi Yafu.
In 1942, Shi Yafu was invited to participate in the officer rotation training regiment, a place where military cadres learned, where Shi Yafu's popularity was particularly good, and he mingled with many high-ranking officials of the Wang puppet government, and Wang Jingwei also appreciated him more and more. After coming and going, Shi Yafu also became good brothers with Wang Jingwei's son Wang Manyun, when Wang Manyun was the head of the "Qingxiang Bureau", Shi Yafu got a lot of intelligence from Wang Manyun, and Wang Manyun never suspected his identity.
Of course, don't look at Shi Yafu's rise in the Wang puppet government, but at the same time it is still very dangerous to engage in underground intelligence work, to put it bluntly, it is to tie his head to the belt of his trousers. Although the Wang puppet government seems to have an independent regime on the surface, it has always been controlled by the Japanese in secret, and the Japanese have never given up the review of internal personnel, which also adds a lot of difficulty to Shi Yafu's intelligence transmission work. What to do about this?
Shi Yafu thought about it and thought of a very hidden method. He hoped that he could pass on the information through a box of matches and a box of cigarettes, but there was no note in these common items. He and Comrade Ye Fei, a liaison officer of our party, discussed the code in advance: if it is half a box of matches, it represents a Japanese squad, if it is a box of matches, it represents a Japanese squadron, and if it is a box of cigarettes, it represents a Japanese army wing.
Although this intelligence route is very hidden, there are also times when accidents occur, in 1941, Shi Yafu's intelligence transmission work was hindered, when Shi Yafu learned an important news, Nanpu will send 10 Japanese pseudo wings to surround and suppress the New Fourth Army, for this joint operation, the Japanese army dispatched more than 17,000 people. But this piece of information was not sent, what is the problem?
It turned out that Shi Yafu sent a cigarette as intelligence, but a comrade at the liaison station at that time, due to his inexperience, saw that there was a cigarette, thought it was a condolence given by the leader, and distributed the cigarette to everyone without thinking. Afterwards, Shi Yafu learned the truth and was very speechless, fortunately the New Fourth Army successfully avoided this encirclement and suppression, otherwise, it would really cause a disaster. After that, Shi Yafu was also more cautious in passing on intelligence. By 1942, Shi Yafu had gained the trust of the Japanese, who could attend the highest military meetings and obtain more valuable intelligence from the Japanese.
At that time, the commander of the Japanese army, Nobuo Kobayashi, formulated a big plan for the New Fourth Army. In this plan, the Japanese army will join forces with Wang Puppet to carry out a military operation in the Soviet Union. After receiving Shi Yafu's news, Comrade Su Yu of our party immediately summoned the principal leaders of the New Fourth Army to hold a special meeting in response to this clean-up operation; as the highest-level meeting of the New Fourth Army, only a few parties knew about it, but no one expected that the content of this meeting would be leaked, and Nobuo Kobayashi would be informed in advance of the return route of the meeting personnel.
Kobayashi Nobuo sent four Japanese brigades and two puppet divisions to arrest him, and when Shi Yafu learned the news, he was very anxious, he knew very well that if the Japanese succeeded, it would be a disaster for the New Fourth Army, and by that time, the total number of the New Fourth Army had reached 90,000. In order to pass on this information, Shi Yafu could not care so much, this time he stuffed the information directly into the cigarette box and asked the adjutant to send it to the liaison station immediately.
After the intelligence was successfully sent, Shi Yafu also had a big problem, that is, in the ranks of the New Fourth Army, there were hidden enemy agents, and this person's level was still very high. In order to catch the traitor, Shi Yafu can only take another risk, Kobayashi Nobuo was very happy after the meeting, he raised his glass and said loudly, I am very happy today, after today, the New Fourth Army will be completely killed, let's toast together.
Shi Yafu pretended to be worried and said: Your Excellency Xiaolin, the location of this encirclement and suppression operation is in Nankan, you must know that this place is surrounded by the sea on both sides, once the enemy discovers our army, he will fight to the death to break through the encirclement, will they stay in place and wait for death? Kobayashi Nobuo laughed after listening to it: "Shi Sang" You don't have to worry, this is the intelligence sent by the internal line of the special high school, the source is absolutely reliable, on this sentence, Shi Yafu set out part of the details of this inner line, due to the urgency of time, Shi Yafu only had time to send a stick figure.
After Comrade Su Yu saw this painting, he immediately understood that he immediately ordered all the radio stations of the New Fourth Army to stop using and sent people to chase the leading cadres who had left and ask them to change the route of return this time. At the same time, based on this painting, Comrade Su Yu carefully screened the communications department of the New Fourth Army, and soon the Japanese spies lurking inside our party were also dug up. Maybe some friends are curious, what did Shi Yafu draw? It turned out that he drew a pair of radio headphones on it!
Until 1944, Shi Yafu repeatedly transmitted intelligence to the New Fourth Army, and even later, Kobayashi Nobuo began to suspect Shi Yafu, Shi Yafu still held on to the enemy. After the founding of New China, Shi Yafu still contributed his own strength and shone on the political and legal front, until 2010, when Comrade Shi Yafu died at the age of 95.
