In the war-torn year of 1937, Li Kenong, the sharp eye of the intelligence community, unexpectedly received an urgent piece of information from a mysterious old man on an ordinary afternoon that could change his fate. The information in this paper group involves the life and death of General Bai Chongxi, a famous Kuomintang general. What kind of conspiracy is this?
In 1937, the Battle of Songhu was in full swing, and the whole of China was shrouded in the shadow of war. Li Kenong, who was originally in Shanghai, was transferred to Nanjing this year and shouldered an important intelligence mission. Nanjing, as the capital of the Nationalist Government at that time, gathered a large number of military and political resources, and naturally became the hardest hit area for espionage activities.
Against such a backdrop, Li Kenong's work is naturally fraught with crises and challenges. As a veteran intelligence officer, he is highly vigilant about every detail around him. On this day, he and several colleagues visited the newly introduced German anti-aircraft guns at Wutai Mountain, which was to improve the combat effectiveness of the Kuomintang anti-Japanese army. On that day, they observed the performance of the weapons, discussed how to deploy and utilize them, and everything seemed to be going according to plan.
However, on the way back, Li Kenong's instinct told him that things were not so simple. An old man in a straw hat caught his eye. The old man seemed harmless, but his suspicious behavior made the experienced Li Kenong feel unusual. The old man seems to be deliberately avoiding the crowd, but he always observes them inadvertently.
Under Li Kenong's gaze, the old man suddenly moved, he quickly threw a paper ball at Li Kenong's feet, and then quickly left. Li Kenong immediately realized that this was not an ordinary act, and that this must be some important information. He walked over, picked up the paper ball, unfolded it, and saw that it was written: "If the Japanese spy wants to assassinate Chief Bai, please tell him not to be careless." ”
This news was like a bolt from the blue for Li Kenong, and Bai Chongxi's position in the Kuomintang was not trivial, and if anything happened, the consequences would be unimaginable. But how true is this information? Who is this mysterious old man, and why did he choose to tell himself this news in this way? All the questions are like a fog in Li Kenong's mind.
At this critical juncture, Li Kenong knew that there could be no carelessness. He didn't tell Bai Chongxi the news directly, but chose the way of trust and found Xie Hegeng. Xie Hegeng, a red agent embedded within the Kuomintang, had a good relationship with Bai Chongxi, often wrote speeches for him, and won his trust. Li Kenong passed the information to Xie Hegeng, who quickly found an opportunity to inform Bai Chongxi of the news in the most cautious way.
Faced with this sudden news, Bai Chongxi was also shocked, he immediately strengthened his personal security measures, and secretly investigated the source of this news. Li Kenong did not stop, and he began to track down the identity and background of the mysterious old man.
Through a series of investigations and clue tracking, Li Kenong found that the old man turned out to be a retired veteran who had combat experience on the anti-Japanese front in Northeast China. Later, he was discharged from the army due to injuries, and he had a deep hatred for the Japanese invaders. This time, he unexpectedly learned of the assassination plan of the Japanese secret agents, and because he feared for his own safety, he did not directly contact the top brass of the Kuomintang, but chose a seemingly indirect but actually very direct way to convey the news through Li Kenong.
Although this action is fraught with risks, it also reflects the deep affection of veterans for the country and the nation. His move, although simple, may have saved Bai Chongxi's life, and also indirectly protected a part of the Kuomintang's military force.
From this incident, we can see that in that turbulent era, everyone could become a witness and participant in history. Ordinary old men can also play an important role at critical moments. And Li Kenong's vigilance and timely action have added a touch of color to this history.
Through this gripping historical event, we can not only feel the hardships and hardships of people during the war years, but also see the bravery and responsibility of ordinary people in times of national crisis. Every seemingly inconspicuous individual may be a key link in protecting the security of the family and country.
