At the end of 1939, the anti-communist activities of the Diehard Kuomintang became more and more arrogant, often deliberately creating some military friction, which brought great trouble to the chinese Communist Party's task of liberation.
At this time, Duan Boyu, who was an inspector of the Kuomintang Field Party and Government Committee, took advantage of his position to collect many evidences that the Kuomintang diehards took the initiative to provoke anti-communist friction.

And these deeds also made the Kuomintang diehards dissatisfied with Duan Boyu in their hearts, and even the new secretary general of the field party and government committee reprimanded him for "eating the Kuomintang's meals and speaking for the Communist Party", and ordered him to be locked up.
However, despite being imprisoned, Duan Boyu still insisted on working for our party and was not afraid of the threat of the diehards of the National Name Party. Even, in the later Liberation War, Duan Boyu also organized a troop uprising, causing Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu De to send telegrams of encouragement.
Then, why did Comrade Duan Boyu help the Communist Party as a Kuomintang? How did he organize the rebel troops, and even make Chiang Kai-shek jump like a thunderbolt and denounce his son Chiang Ching-kuo for being "incompetent"?
The content of this issue will take you to understand the glorious life of Comrade Duan Boyu.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > unsuccessfully sought a party organization and was forced to join the Kuomintang</h1>
In July 1904, in Mengxian Village, Li County, Hebei Province, Comrade Duan Boyu was born.
Since he was 10 years old, Comrade Duan Boyu has studied at the Tianjin Juemin School, where Duan Boyu has been deeply influenced by patriotism and has a desire to dedicate himself to the motherland since he was a child.
In the society at that time, due to the rule of the corrupt and incompetent Qing government, coupled with the oppression of brutal and unmerciful imperialism, in such an environment, Duan Boyu's thought still maintained progress, and he always pursued progress.
On May 4, 1919, the outbreak of the May Fourth Movement made Duan Boyu enlightened by Marxist thought.
Under the leadership of Premier Zhou Enlai, Comrade Duan Boyu bravely and actively participated in the student parade, and Comrade Duan Boyu bravely and vigorously walked on the streets with about 2,000 students to speak together, exposing the shameless deeds of the Beiyang government in order to protect its own interests.
During his tenure at Hebei University, Comrade Duan Boyu befriended Dai Peiyuan, a member of the Communist Party of China, and under his guidance, Duan Boyu began to read Marxist works, his thinking was constantly sublimated, and his understanding of the Communist Party was deepened.

After graduating from university, he opened a clinic in Taiyuan for nearly three years. During this period, he insisted on reading Marxist works, and constantly befriended social progressives, and often propagated socialist ideas and openly sold progressive books. This also paved the way for his later entry into the party.
But because of this, Comrade Duan Boyu was wanted by the warlord Yan Xishan in Shanxi.
In 1936, Duan Boyu opened the Progressive School Bag Club in Baoding, and because of his propaganda of the idea of resisting Japan and saving the country, he was later exempted and could only idle in Baoding.
Soon after the outbreak of the War of Resistance, the Japanese occupied Baoding.
In desperation, Duan Boyu had to leave Baoding. At first, Duan Boyu wanted to lead several people to the Taihang Mountains and join the Eighth Route Army.
But unfortunately, Duan Boyu did not find the Eighth Route Army.
Later, Duan Boyu could only follow the Kuomintang Thirty-second Army south.
From Duan Boyu's experience before joining the Communist Party, it is not difficult for us to see that Duan Boyu's life was not smooth sailing.
He was born into a turbulent age in which brutal imperialism and decadent feudal society were constantly suppressing the active progressives, fearing that those who had lofty ideals would overthrow their rule and take their interests.
When the feudal society collapsed, he caught up with the invasion of the Japanese army, and was forced to join the Kuomintang troops in desperation.
And this also laid the groundwork for the next step, Comrade Duan Boyu, within the Kuomintang, for the Communist Party to promote Chiang Kai-shek's resistance to Japan.
However, at present, for Duan Boyu, the most important thing is to find the party organization and become a party member.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > find a party organization and become a party member</h1>
In the spring of 1930, Duan Boyu took a leave of absence to go to Yan'an, entered the Chinese People's Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, and applied to join the party.
In August, he returned to the 32nd Army training camp, and under the introduction of Wang Xinggang, an underground member of the Communist Party of China, he successfully won the opportunity to join the party, and Wang Xinggang was his head.
Two days later, Duan Boyu successfully joined the party under the oath of Comrade Nie Hongjun.
In the end, Duan Boyu successfully joined the party organization after 14 years of hardships and twists.
As the saying goes, "a bitter man, the sky does not bear the burden, the salary is paid and the guts are tasted, and the three thousand Yue Jia can swallow Wu." After experiencing so many tribulations, Comrade Duan Boyu finally fulfilled his wish and successfully joined the party organization.
But after joining the party organization, he could not contribute to the party's troops, because there were more important tasks for him to do.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > infiltrated the Kuomintang army and helped the Communists liberate</h1>
At the end of 1938, the Cadre Training Regiment of the Kuomintang Reorganized 32nd Army was disbanded, and Duan Boyu was transferred to Chongqing, but the organization considered the rampant Kuomintang elements in Chongqing, and the organization decided to let him enter the Kuomintang army to collect intelligence for the liberation of our party.
After this, Premier Zhou Enlai received Duan Boyu and earnestly instructed and encouraged Duan Boyu to respond to changes at every turn in the Kuomintang ranks, and no matter how difficult the situation was, he must be calm and calm, and strive for the most favorable possibility.
At the end of 1939, the anti-communist activities of the Diehard Kuomintang faction gradually expanded, and they constantly created military friction, which brought a lot of trouble to the lives of the common people.
Fortunately, Duan Boyu took advantage of the particularity of his position to collect a lot of evidence of friction caused by Kuomintang diehards.
However, these things were known to the Kuomintang diehards, and the new secretary of the field party and government committee reprimanded Duan Boyu for "eating The Kuomintang's meal and doing things for the Communist Party" and imprisoned Duan Boyu.
Comrade Zhou Yi, who was in contact with Duan Boyu, was arrested and killed by the enemy, and he lost contact with the party organization.
But this still failed to dampen Duan Boyu's enthusiasm and loyalty to the work of the party organization.
In the days that followed, in order to better serve the party organization, he was admitted to the Kuomintang Army University in October 1943.
After graduation, on the recommendation of his younger brother Duan Zhongyu, he served in the Military Affairs Bureau as the chief of the intelligence section of the major general and the senior staff officer.
With such a position, Duan Boyu still regards working for the party as his top priority.
But he has now lost contact with the party organization, and the Kuomintang secret service is strictly eyeing the contacts between his subordinates and the Communist Party, and if there is any suspicion, the end is the death penalty.
Therefore, Duan Boyu was very anxious.
However, while he was on duty, Duan Boyu found a long-sealed wooden box, which provided great help for him to continue to carry out the party's underground work.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > plotted against the Kuomintang generals and planned an armed uprising</h1>
In the wooden box, Duan Boyu. Documents of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China collected by the Kuomintang Central News Agency and reports and speeches of Mao Zedong and other central leading comrades were found.
These documents were originally collected by the Military Affairs Bureau in order to study the Communist Party, but they were discovered by Comrade Duan Boyu.
Therefore, Duan Boyu had the opportunity to understand the party's basic principles and policies, and this also provided a basis and guide for him to carry out the party's underground work.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Communist Party was bent on peaceful negotiations, but Chiang Kai-shek completely disregarded the wishes of the broad masses of the people, tore up the CPPCC agreement, and launched a full-scale civil war.
Under these circumstances, Comrade Duan Boyu actively united, and the progressive classmates with patriotic ideas who were friends during his studies at the Army University. Duan Boyu's ideological work also resonated with the thoughts of his classmates, and their dissatisfaction with Chiang Kai-shek's behavior gradually increased.
By the winter of 1948, Comrade Duan Boyu had united a Kuomintang rebel army of about 100,000 people, distributed from Wuhu in the west to Jiaxing and Hangzhou in the east, along the river for more than a thousand miles.
Moreover, during this period, Comrade Duan Boyu also successfully found contact with the party organization. Zhang Zhiyi, secretary of the Countermeasure Committee of the Shanghai Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, spoke highly of Comrade Duan Boyu after learning about his experience in carrying out underground work.
After that, due to various factors, the relevant comrades of the Shanghai Bureau believed that the current conditions for the uprising were not ripe, but at this time, a series of unexpected incidents broke the original plan, and the troops led by Jia Yibin and Liu Nongyi, who were plotted by Duan Boyu, had to revolt in advance.
Therefore, after Li Zhengwen, Duan Boyu, Jia Yibin and others carefully studied the timing and method of the uprising and reached a consensus, Jia Yibin, with the help of liaison officer Zhang Wenzao, launched the Jiaxing Uprising in the early morning of April 7, 1949.
After the Jiaxing Uprising broke out, Chiang Kai-shek was furious and denounced his son Chiang Ching-kuo for his "incompetence," but it was too late, and Chiang Kai-shek could only urgently mobilize superior troops, expended his thoughts and experience, and only after paying a huge price did he break up the rebel troops.
Although the uprising failed due to the disparity in strength, this uprising also dealt a great blow to Chiang Kai-shek's arrogance and also showed that the Kuomintang troops were not at all a unit capable of leading the broad masses of the people.
The Third Regiment of Kuomintang Paratroopers, headed by Liu Nongyi, was also a very important unit of Chiang Kai-shek's concubines.
Due to continuous military defeats, Chiang Kai-shek had to flee to Taiwan, and on the eve of his escape, Chiang Kai-shek also asked Liu Nongyi to lead his third regiment of paratroopers to flee to Taiwan.
However, after discussion, Duan Boyu and others decided to make a plan and let Liu Nongyu superficially flee to Taiwan, but in fact went to Lianyungang, the liberated area of our army.
On April 15, 1949, the Parachute Regiment landed in Lianyungang, and they were warmly welcomed by the people, and Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu De also sent a telegram of condolence:
"To celebrate your heroic act of breaking away from the Kuomintang reactionary clique and joining the People's Liberation Army, I hope that you will strive for political and technical learning and fight for the construction of China's new paratroopers."
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > concluding remarks:</h1>
Comrade Duan Boyu endured humiliation and burdens, hid in the Kuomintang army for many years, and contributed tremendous strength to the liberation work of our party.
Moreover, after the founding of New China, Duan Boyu was still doing his utmost to fulfill his responsibilities for the work of our party.
On September 23, 1998, Comrade Duan Boyu died in Beijing at the age of 94.
In Comrade Duan Boyu's body, we have seen excellent qualities such as perseverance, single-mindedness for the party, and love for the motherland, and such figures are the models for us to learn.
