In 1946, Ye Ting, the newly released commander of the New Fourth Army, was killed in a plane crash on his way to Yan'an, and Zhou Enlai firmly believed that there must be a conspiracy behind this.
After 60 years, an old man in Taiwan suddenly said that I killed Ye Ting. What's going on here?
In March 1946, Ye Ting, who had been imprisoned by Chiang Kai-shek for five years, was finally released from prison. Previously, in the Southern Anhui Incident, more than 9,000 people led by Ye Ting and deputy commander Xiang Ying were surrounded by 80,000 Kuomintang troops in Maolin. Ye Ting originally went down the mountain to negotiate with the Kuomintang, but he was detained without expecting it. No matter how much Yan'an protested, Chiang Kai-shek refused to release him, and successively transferred him to Shangrao, Guilin and other places for detention.
In the face of the rich conditions offered by Chiang Kai-shek, Ye Ting never bowed his head, and wrote a prison song in prison to make his mind,
I long for freedom, but I know deep down how a human body can crawl out of a dog hole? I hope that one day, the fire underground will connect me to a living coffin. Burn it together, and I should have eternal life in fire and blood.
Ye Ting was released from prison on March 4, 1946, and the day after his release, he sent a telegram to the Central Committee requesting to rejoin the party. In fact, Ye Ting joined the party as early as 1924, but after the failure of the Guangzhou Uprising, Ye Ting went into exile and disassociated himself from the party. Two days later, the central government replied to Ye Ting and decided to accept his request to join the party. Ye Ting was very happy, he had been waiting for this moment for a long, long time.
On the evening of April 6, Ye Ting received a telegram from Yan'an, which stated that the Central Military Commission was going to hold an emergency meeting in Yan'an and that he must attend. After reading the telegram, Ye Ting began to pack his luggage and prepared to return to Yan'an with his wife, daughter Ye Yangmei, and young son A Jiu.
Yan'an is also the place where Ye Ting dreamed of the twilight, the last time he came was in 1937, after the Red Army guerrillas in the eight southern provinces had just reorganized the New Fourth Army, Ye Ting went to Yan'an as the director of the department to report to the Central Committee. Because the traffic from Chongqing to Yan'an is very inconvenient, if you take the land route, it will take at least three or four days, and not only Ye Ting's family is accompanying him, but also Bogu, Wang Ruofei, Deng Fa and others, so it is relatively fast to take a plane.
At that time, Zhou Enlai considered that there were seven or eight people going to Yan'an, so he coordinated with the Kuomintang Air Force and asked them to send a C47 transport plane to send Ye Ting and his party to Yan'an. At that time, the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party had not yet broken down, and the Kuomintang agreed without a reason to refuse, and also sent Smith, a very experienced member of the Flying Tigers with more than 3,000 flight hours, as the captain.
Ye Ting and his party set off on April 8, and Zhou Enlai personally went to the airport to see them off. Yan'an also attached great importance to Ye Ting's return, and held a grand welcoming ceremony, Mao Zedong, Zhu De and other central leaders personally went to the airport to greet him, but the time passed minute by minute. I went to the sky above Yan'an, and I never saw Ye Ting's plane, which was far beyond the estimated time.
At this time, everyone had a sense of foreboding, did something happen halfway? Soon after, a sad news came that Ye Ting's plane crashed in Heicha Mountain, and all the crew members were killed.
After the incident, the central government quickly sent people to Heicha Mountain to investigate, and found that the clouds and fog in the sky at that time were indeed very thick, and the plane exploded and caught fire only after hitting the mountain, and there was no sign of an artificial explosion. But at the same time, an important doubt was also found, the plane landed at Xi'an Airport to refuel, and then took off again to Yan'an, but from Xi'an to Yan'an is always flying north, how can this plane fly northeast? He also flew to the Black Tea Mountain east of the Yellow River.
A telegram draft was found in the wreckage of the plane to report the disorientation to the ground, but the pilots at that time were all experienced members of the Flying Tigers, how could such a low-level mistake occur? All indications are that Kuomintang agents did something on the plane, causing the instrument to fail and eventually get lost. It's just that there was no direct evidence at that time, and Yan'an was trying to promote the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, so it did not delve into the overall situation.
The old Taiwanese man who admitted to killing Ye Ting was called Du Jitang, the former special agent captain of the Sino-US Cooperation Institute of the Military Unification, who directly participated in the operation of creating an air crash to kill Ye Ting. At that time, although the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were still negotiating, Chiang Kai-shek was not sincere at all, but only used this excuse to delay time, and secretly transferred troops and generals, created friction, and prepared to attack the Liberated Areas.
On April 8, 1946, Wang Pinghu, a special agent installed in the Kuomintang Air Force, learned that a group of important figures were going to Yan'an on a C47 plane, so he immediately reported to Dai Li in Nanjing. With Chiang Kai-shek's acquiescence, Dai ordered the assassination and entrusted the task to Du Jitang. Du Jitang is well aware of the importance of this assassination, and must be done very cleanly and without leaving any handles, so he believes that the best way is to create an air crash.
Through Wang Pinghu, he arranged a special agent who knew how to mechanics and disguised himself as a maintenance man. Ping Ran mixed into the plane, and took advantage of the opportunity of maintenance, put a magnet behind the altimeter and magnetic screw meter, ready to let the plane trek fall naturally, when the plane will definitely explode, you can't find these two magnets at all.
On April 8, the plane took off in Chongqing and successfully arrived at the transfer station Xi'an to refuel and rest. But when the plane took off again, the sky suddenly fell hail and strong winds, and visibility was poor. At this time, the two magnets began to work, and the navigation system first showed an abnormality, causing the plane to fly to Black Tea Mountain, and finally crashed into the mountain. After the incident, Zhou Enlai concluded that Kuomintang agents must have done the tricks, which was also their usual means, but there was no direct evidence.
It became a mystery, and it was not until 60 years later, in 2006, that Du Jitang, who lived in seclusion in Taiwan, revealed the ins and outs of the 48 air disaster. The truth goes. Whitened to the world.
