In 1954, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Duan Yunpeng, a famous thief and military commander, was arrested. This thief, who had stolen the residence of Japanese commander-in-chief Ninji Okamura, carried out the plan to assassinate the mayor of Beijing, and targeted our party at every turn, could no longer escape. Fallen.
Chairman Mao learned of this from Luo Ruiqing's report, because Duan Yunpeng had been deliberately plotting to assassinate Chairman Mao and other CCP leaders. He couldn't help but quip: "Isn't that guy a thief? Why not let him see it?! ”
Duan Yunpeng
Chairman Mao's words made everyone laugh, but the flightless Duan Yunpeng in his mouth was not a simple character. Even if he is arrested, it is the result of our party, especially Comrade Luo Ruiqing's deployment at every level.
Gifted, born a thief
Duan Yunpeng was born in 1904 in Xujiazhuang, Jixian County, Hebei Province. He is the fourth son in the family.
This guy has not been a quiet person since childhood. He likes to get into trouble. However, he is extremely strong and has few rivals among his peers. He often fights with others, and his parents can't control him.
In 1920, Duan Yunpeng, who was only 16 years old, ran away from home and went to Baoding to become a soldier.
Duan Yunpeng relied on his physical strength to practice martial arts hard in the army. He often wrestled with others and had few opponents. In the training of climbing hills and crossing ditches, he is as agile as a swallow and has cultivated a good skill.
Due to his superb martial arts and outstanding performance, Duan Yunpeng rose step by step in the army. In just seven years, he went from being a recruit to being an adjutant to the captain, responsible for training recruits.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. The following year, the army changed and his survival was difficult. He also found army life too boring. With his martial arts, why did he live so tiredly?
He returned to Peiping and established a relationship with the famous thief of the time, "Yanzi Li San". He successfully worshipped Li San as a disciple and practiced light skills and theft under Li San's guidance.
Duan Yunpeng already had martial arts, and his foundation of Qinggong was even better. After some "cultivation", his light skill was still better than Yanzi Li San. When it comes to being a thief, he is very talented.
Swallow Li San
After leaving the army, Duan Yunpeng fled into martial arts and began to engage in theft. He was superb, his movements were clean, he left no traces, and he actually stole a lot of money. People in the martial arts called him "Tanuki".
During that time, Duan Yunpeng lived a very comfortable life. When he has no money, he does something. When he had money, he spent money everywhere. After using it, he will continue to steal and enjoy it.
This thief is so daring that he dares to stir up trouble on Tai Sui's head
Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Duan Yunpeng had completely become a habitual thief and was active in the Pingjin area. He was bold enough to target the residences of the wealthy, including the Tianjin mayor's residence, the German embassy, and many wealthy local businessmen. All families have been "patronized" by him and have repeatedly succeeded.
Once successful, Duan Yunpeng used the stolen money to squander everywhere, eating, drinking, gambling, and becoming proficient.
It is said that he committed crimes extremely carefully and meticulously, often leaving no traces, leaving investigators in Pingjin and Tianjin with no way to start. Later, many people blamed Duan Yunpeng for some headless thefts. This is not without reason. This guy is not ordinary. Cunning.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, domestic turmoil broke out, wars and revolutionary movements broke out one after another, and disputes continued. However, Duan Yunpeng, who is in a troubled world, is still happy like a normal person. You screwed up and screwed up, should I steal or steal. , You still have to eat when you should eat.
It was during that time that Duan Yunpeng did something that made him legendary.
At that time, the Japanese army invaded the mainland. Many Japanese were arrogant in the areas occupied by the Japanese army. They consider themselves superior and look down on Chinese from the bottom of their hearts. They act arrogantly and unscrupulously. Their fight with Chinese is inevitable.
While playing, Duan Yunpeng had a dispute with the Japanese spy. The other party ignored Duan Yunpeng and insulted him in every way on the grounds that he was in the Japanese-occupied area.
Duan Yunpeng was carefree and accustomed, how could he stand such a tone?
As the old saying goes, "a thief is as bold as a thief", this phrase is really wonderful when applied to Duan Yunpeng.
In order to take revenge on the Japanese army, this guy became angry and corrupted, infiltrated the officer's residence of the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army in North China, Okamura Ninji, and stole it on a large scale.
According to Japanese military statistics, Duan Yunpeng stole a pistol, a gold watch, a jade ball, five gold bars, two golden Buddha statues, huge amounts of gold, US dollars, yen, fake reserve coupons, etc., causing heavy losses to the Japanese army.
Okamura Ninji
After the news came out, Okamura Ninji was furious. What is this called? Isn't this what we often call "breaking ground"?
Okamura Ninji ordered his subordinates to investigate. As a result, the investigators were horrified to find that the informant should have jumped from a house on the third floor facing the street, jumped directly over a six-meter-wide alley, and jumped into the house to complete the theft.
The discovery took investigators by surprise. No matter what you think, you can't believe that there are people in the world with such abilities!
Duan Yunpeng actually did such a strange thing. It seems that the description of light gong in the martial arts novels circulating today is not groundless.
The investigators investigated the light skill masters in Pingjin and Tianjin, and soon locked Duan Yunpeng.
It's just that Duan Yunpeng has been a thief for many years, why not be vigilant? As early as after the successful theft, he paid close attention to the movements around him. Before the Japanese army could launch a pursuit, this cunning guy fled with the money, leaving the Japanese army with no way to start.
This incident became a thorn in Okamura Ninji's heart, and after so many years, he still haunted it, and even recorded it in his later memoirs: "In 1943, I had a disgusting burglary in my mansion in northern China. , caused heavy losses, after many investigations, no results were found, and the matter has been unresolved..."
Join the Kuomintang and carry out the assassination plan
Since then, Duan Yunpeng has been truly rich for a long time, traveling the world with huge amounts of money, and living happily, but he has never left North China. He is familiar with this place and it is convenient for him to "work".
In 1946, Gu Zhengwen, director of the Kuomintang's North China Military Command Bureau, noticed the informant Duan Yunpeng.
Gu Zhengwen
Gu Zhengwen is not a simple character. In the history of Kuomintang military rule, he is a figure that can be compared with Mao Renfeng, Dai Li and other spy leaders.
Out of professional acumen, Gu Zhenzheng realized that Duan Yunpeng was a talent, and with a little training, he would definitely become a top agent.
Therefore, Gu Zhengwen took the initiative to extend an olive branch and absorbed Duan Yunpeng into the army system.
Duan Yunpeng has been engaged in the theft industry for so many years. Although his life is comfortable, he is always worried. After a long time, he got a little tired of it. In the face of Gu Zhenzheng's pleading, he readily agreed.
After all, at that time, bureaucracy was prevalent within the Kuomintang, and every official was impressive. Can Duan Yunpeng not envy him? Isn't that better than being a thief?
After entering the army headquarters and becoming a lieutenant correspondent, Duan Yunpeng repeatedly used his own means to steal the information of the CCP's underground party personnel, which won Gu Zhenzheng's praise and increased his attention.
During Duan Yunpeng's membership in the Kuomintang, he repeatedly carried out assassination plans against Communist Party members.
In 1946, Chiang Kai-shek secretly transferred troops to start a civil war, but on the surface he did a good job. He signed an armistice with the Communists. The two sides, together with U.S. representatives attending the meeting, formed a three-member team to oversee the implementation of the armistice. Among them, the representative of the Communist Party group is Ye Jianying.
Chiang Kai-shek did not really stop the war, and secretly ordered Gu Zhengzheng to wait for the opportunity to kill Ye Jianying and other CCP members. Gu Zhengwen immediately took action and formed a special operation group headed by Duan Yunpeng, intending to assassinate Ye Jianying and others.
Ye Jianying
However, as a representative of the Chinese Communist Party, Ye Jianying was surrounded by many guards, and all of them were loyal to their duties, guarding him day and night. Duan Yunpeng had no choice but to give up.
He then took aim at Tengdaiyuan and, using his superb dexterity, sneaked into the roof of his residence. Unexpectedly, the patrol officer vaguely noticed a dark shadow in the yard and shouted tentatively. Duan Yunpeng was so frightened that he quickly fled. Bullets passed by him, and the assassination plan naturally fell through.
Battle of Beijing and show off your strength
But even so, Gu Zhengwen still valued this genius with excellent qigong skills, and did not blame him for the failure of the assassination.
At the end of 1946, the KMT-CPC peace talks failed, and Chiang Kai-shek broke with the Communist Party once and for all. Many of our party's personnel in Peiping had to be evacuated urgently, but before the evacuation, they left behind a five-member intelligence group and two radio stations to facilitate communication with the Yan'an headquarters. Connect.
In 1947, as the Liberation War continued, Sun Lianzhong, commander of the Kuomintang's 11th Theater, wanted to negotiate with the PLA in order to preserve strength. After several twists and turns, he found Yu Xinqing to discuss. Yu Xinqing was wary and contacted Chen Rongsheng, who the Communist Party arranged to lurk in Sun Lianzhong's unit.
The move exposed Chen Rongsheng and triggered a series of chain reactions.
Yu Xinqing
The Kuomintang realized that the CCP had intelligence agents in Peiping and also detected the existence of underground radio stations. It was determined that the underground radio station was located between 600 and 1,000 meters along the road between Suncheonfu, but the specifics could not be determined.
At this time, it was Duan Yunpeng's turn to make a move. Under Gu Zhenzheng's guidance, Duan Yunpeng used his superb light skills to rush to a high place every morning to observe the movement of that area. As soon as the light came on, he immediately sneaked over to snoop, especially at six o'clock. Residents who turn on their lights on time will be inspected centrally.
Soon after, Duan Yunpeng successfully found a house that matched Gu Zhengwen's description and immediately reported it. Gu Zhengwen led the agents to attack.
This time, our party suffered heavy losses and triggered a chain reaction. Hundreds of underground party members were arrested across the country.
This time, Duan Yunpeng made great achievements, and Gu Zhengwen was even more impressed by him.
Beginning in 1946, due to the civil war, which led to hunger, cold, and displacement, students and ordinary people in Peiping spontaneously held demonstrations of "anti-hunger and anti-civil war". Unsurprisingly, these actions aroused the disgust of the Kuomintang, and the Kuomintang troops repeatedly suppressed and arrested them. Student demonstrations.
He Siyuan, the mayor of Peiping, is a patriot who cannot bear the suffering of students. He hated the Kuomintang's insistence on civil war. He led people into the Beijing police headquarters to demand the release of arrested student demonstrators.
He Siyuan's actions aroused the anger of the Kuomintang, who not only removed him from his mayorship, but also ordered military agents to assassinate him.
Skynet is restored and the thief is caught
In January 1949, He Siyuan, who insisted on responding to the People's Liberation Army and actively called for the peaceful liberation of Beiping, was on the Kuomintang assassination list. It was Duan Yunpeng who was responsible for carrying out the assassination plan.
This time, Duan Yunpeng absorbed the reason for the failure of the previous assassination plan and decided to be ruthless. Armed with explosives and using superb light skills, he lurked on the roof of He Siyuan's residence and planted a bomb.
He Siyuan
At that time, He Siyuan's efforts had achieved results, and Beiping should be able to be peacefully liberated without surprise, and the whole family was happy.
Unexpectedly, at about five o'clock in the morning, Duan Yunpeng detonated explosives, but the power of the bomb did not meet his expectations. He Siyuan's second daughter was killed, and the others were only injured and fled. The assassination plan failed.
It is admirable that despite the postponement of only one day, He Siyuan endured the grief in his heart and went to participate in discussions with members of our party on the liberation of Peiping.
In May of the same year, Duan Yunpeng fled to Taiwan with the Kuomintang. At this point, the Kuomintang disappeared, and the people of the whole country finally saw the dawn of peace.
Chiang Kai-shek
Chiang Kai-shek, who fled to Taiwan, was still bent on killing Chairman Mao, Zhou Enlai and others. As long as these people die and the Communist Party is in chaos, he may be able to take the opportunity to kill him back.
To this end, he ordered Gu Zhengwen to try to kill the Communist leader, but Gu still gave Duan Yunpeng this difficult and impossible task.
On the eve of the founding ceremony of New China, Duan Yunpeng sneaked into Tianjin in an attempt to sabotage the founding ceremony. However, under Chairman Mao's supervision, during the founding ceremony, patrols were constantly carried out in various places and the defense was tight, and Duan Yunpeng's plan fell through.
In October 1950, Duan Yunpeng sneaked into the mainland again. This time he spied on Comrade Zhou Enlai's office, but could not break through the defense and had to give up. However, the mere ability to detect Zhou Enlai's office impressed Chiang Kai-shek and promoted him to the rank of colonel of the Secret Security Bureau, hoping that he would continue his efforts to complete the assassination plan.
Zhou Enlai
Since then, Duan Yunpeng has infiltrated the mainland twice and waited for the opportunity to assassinate the leader of our party, which finally aroused the vigilance of Luo Ruiqing, minister of public security.
Luo Ruiqing informed the Beijing and Tianjin public security bureaus that Duan Yunpeng must be arrested. Although he was not immediately caught, he successfully destroyed the assassination organization established by Duan Yunpeng in Beijing and Tianjin, and also made the trail of this informant known.
In 1954, Chiang Kai-shek could no longer sit still and again ordered Duan Yunpeng to infiltrate the Beijing-Tianjin region to wait for an assassination operation.
This time, Luo Ruiqing and others set up a special case team to deploy police forces in Beijing, Tianjin, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and other places to track Duan Yunpeng's whereabouts. As the encirclement gradually shrank, Duan Yunpeng's whereabouts were finally locked in Guangzhou.
On September 14 of the same year, Duan Yunpeng disguised himself as a Hong Kong businessman and entered Guangzhou in the name of negotiating investment. He was arrested by the police who had been waiting in Guangzhou for a long time.
Luo Ruiqing immediately informed Chairman Mao of the matter. Chairman Mao was very interested in this snitch who always wanted to kill him, and joked: "Isn't this a snitch? Just let him fly and see! ”
It is worth mentioning that although he was arrested, Chairman Mao advocated at that time that "those who can not be killed" should be released if they could. The Communist Party is not the Kuomintang, and after its collapse it does not settle accounts.
As a result, Duan Yunpeng spent 13 years in prison. Later, because his crime was too serious, he was eventually executed by our party.
Throughout Duan Yunpeng's life, he was indeed a talented person, but unfortunately, he did not use the right method.
In that chaotic era, many Chinese also possessed unique skills and superb martial arts. They used their own strength to resist the Japanese invaders and save the country. However, Duan Yunpeng only cares about making money, enjoying life, and coveting power. This ending also has a cause and effect. Retribution.
