The hidden past of Taiwan's underground party

On April 20, 1949, Mao Zedong and Zhu De issued an order to march across the country, and the People's Liberation Army forcibly crossed the Yangtze River in the middle of the night to destroy the Yangtze River defense line of the Kuomintang army. It turned out that just before crossing the river, the top level of the Chinese Communist Party had received a top-secret intelligence.

The content of this information is Chiang Kai-shek's map of the defense of the Yangtze River!

What the top level of the CPC Central Committee did not expect was that the number of the troops marked on the map was so detailed that the regiment! So who is this person who provides important information? Why was he able to provide the Communist Party with such detailed intelligence?

Chiayi gunshots

In 1946, just like Yu Zecheng and Cui Ping in the TV series "Latent", Zhang Zhizhong and his wife Ji Hu came to dangerous Taiwan on a steamship to engage in underground struggle work. At that time, Zhang Zhizhong served as the armed director of the Working Committee.

Zhang Zhizhong

Zhang Zhizhong was born in Chiayi, Taiwan, to an extremely poor peasant family. He secretly sneaked back to the mainland and joined the Eighth Route Army in Shandong in 1939.

In the more than ten years that he "disappeared", the whole family thought that he was no longer alive. Suddenly, he reappeared in Taiwan, surprising the family.

After going to Taiwan, Zhang Zhizhong was ostensibly a boss in the timber business, but secretly planning to establish an armed base.

Finally, he waited for an opportunity - the "February 28" incident.

On the afternoon of February 27, 1947, outside the Tianma Tea House on Nanjing West Road in Taipei City, a woman was beaten by anti-smuggling members of the Taiwan Provincial Monopoly Bureau for selling mainland cigarettes that were then monopolies.

Taking advantage of the "February 28" incident, the armed struggle led by Zhang Zhizhong turned from underground to open.

Zhang Zhizhong led his troops to capture the Chiayi Water Airport, took over the Dongshi Detention Center, released the prisoners, and captured the weapons in the arsenal. He also organized the people of Chiayi to disarm the police and occupy the Chiayi City Government, and later met with the "Erqi Troops" in Puli.

Chen Yi, chief executive of Taiwan Province, immediately sent an urgent telegram to Nanjing for help. At noon on March 8, the vanguard of the 21st Army, the main Kuomintang force stationed in Shanghai, landed at the port of Keelung and entered Taipei after the bloodbath of Keelung. The unit joined forces with the Kuomintang stationed in the southern part of Taiwan and attacked from north to south to suppress the insurrectionary masses on a large scale.

Due to the huge disparity in the balance of forces between the two sides and the lack of experience in the struggle, Zhang Zhizhong had to disband these armed forces, and the struggle of the UNDERground Party of the Chinese Communists in Taiwan once again turned from open to underground.

On October 1, 1949, the founding of New China, Zhang Zhizhong and his wife in Taiwan had in their ears the song of "Forward, Forward, Forward, Our Team to the Sun...".

However, they did not expect that the danger was approaching...

Dark tide underground

Before the People's Liberation Army forcibly crossed the Yangtze River, the top level of the Communist Party of China received Chiang Kai-shek's map of the defense of the Yangtze River!

The person who provided such important information was called Wu Shi, who was also a Chinese communist underground party in Taiwan.

Wu Shi

Wu Shi was born in Minhou, Fujian Province, and was physically weak from an early age, but he was brilliant. He studied Chinese studies and attended the new style school, and often ranked first during his studies at the Baoding Army Officer School.

In 1929, at the age of 35, Wu Shi went to Toei to study at the Japanese Artillery School, and was later admitted to the Japanese Army University. He also ranked first when he graduated from both japanese schools, which caused a sensation in the military circles of China and Japan at that time!

Chiang Kai-shek placed great importance on Wu Shi and put him in charge of military history and military and political work. In 1946, Wu Shi was personally appointed by Chiang Kai-shek as the director of the Historical Information Bureau of the "Ministry of National Defense".

Wu Shi himself is a military expert, plus he is in an important position, and he is familiar with judging and probing intelligence!

Beginning in the autumn of 1948, the Kuomintang organs retreated to Guangzhou and Taiwan by land and water, and the "Ministry of National Defense" still had more than 500 boxes of military classified archives, which were required to be transported directly to Taiwan.

Wu Shi suggested that Fuzhou temporarily move these archives to Fuzhou on the grounds that "it is easy to return to Beijing if you enter, and it is convenient to transfer to Taiwan when you retreat."

His opinion was taken. Therefore, Wu Shi sent someone to escort this large number of archives from Nanjing to Fuzhou, where they were preserved in the main hall of the Shanqi Ancestral Hall.

He planned to revolt in Fuzhou as soon as the time was ripe, and to hand over all the classified archives to the People's Liberation Army.

After the Spring Festival in 1949, Wu Shi was appointed deputy director of the Fuzhou Appeasement Office.

The Chinese Communists continued to obtain important information from him, including Chiang Kai-shek's deployment in Taiwan and southeast China, the military movements of the Kuomintang troops, the battle sequence of the Kuomintang army in Fujian and the names of the chief officers after the reorganization, and the troop statistics of the Fuzhou Sui Bureau.

In August 1949, before Wu Shi went to Taiwan, he specially instructed his close subordinates to keep the top-secret information he had carefully protected!

Maple leaves flutter

On November 27, 1949, Wu Shi met a female intelligence officer sent by the East China Bureau of the Communist Party of China from Hong Kong to Taiwan, holding a handwritten letter from Wu Shi's former contact, Wan Jingguang.

Her name is Zhu Feng.

Zhu Feng

Zhu Feng studied at the Women's Normal School in Ningbo, and during her studies, she experienced the Xinhai Revolution, the New Culture Movement, the May Fourth Movement, and the May 30 Massacre. These surging revolutionary waves deeply affected this intelligent and studious woman who seemed weak.

At the end of 1938, Zhu Feng donated 500 oceans to donate his last savings to the Xinzhi Bookstore and officially participated in the revolution.

Xinzhi Bookstore

This money was not a small amount of money during the War of Resistance. When Xinzhi Bookstore started its business two years ago, the total share capital was only 500 yuan. In such a special way, Zhu Feng has become a supporter and collaborator of Xinzhi Bookstore. Xinzhi Bookstore is the predecessor of Sanlian Bookstore.

In November 1949, under a critical situation, the mainland issued a top-secret order to collect military intelligence on Taiwan's defense. Zhu Feng, an intelligence officer, became the most suitable candidate to go to Taiwan to serve as a secret correspondent.

At the beginning of this year, she received a letter from a family from Taiwan.

Her stepdaughter wrote to say that she and her husband were now in Taiwan and hoped that her mother-in-law would come to visit their newborn child. The son-in-law, Wang Changcheng, is the director of the Telecommunications Management Office of the Police Department of the Taiwan Provincial Secrecy Bureau.

In the port of Keelung, Taiwan, she finally met her daughter Aju, who had been separated for three years.

As a special intelligence officer, one of the main tasks Zhu Feng received when he came to Taiwan was to contact General Wu Shi, who was the deputy chief of staff of the Kuomintang Ministry of National Defense, to pass on the top-secret information provided by Wu Shi.

At the Keelung Wharf, Zhu Feng handed over this important information to a senior deputy on the "Anfu" sea vessel that regularly traveled between Hong Kong and Keelung by a special traffic officer of the Intelligence Department of the East China Bureau of the CPC as agreed.

Soon, this batch of top-secret military intelligence was smoothly transmitted to the Intelligence Department of the East China Bureau and the Operations Department of the General Staff.

As Cai Xiaoqian was arrested by the Secrecy Bureau, Zhu Feng's identity was also revealed, and she was eventually arrested in Zhoushan.

When he was arrested, Zhu Feng only wanted to die in his heart.

Jewelry swallowed by Zhu Feng

She swallowed her jewelry and necklace and decided to commit suicide.

The shape of the jewelry is clearly visible on the X-ray. However, these jewels are eventually excreted with laxatives.

At four o'clock in the afternoon of June 10, 1950, at the Kuomintang "Special Military Tribunal," the presiding judge hastily pronounced the secret order "President Ning Gao Zi 390084" personally approved by Chiang Kai-shek, and said that the death penalty had been approved by the supreme authorities and immediately executed.

This photo is the scene when Zhu Feng, Wu Shi, and other Taiwanese underground party members wrote their last words after the verdict was pronounced: it was Wu Shi who was leaning over to write, and it was Zhu Feng who stood by the railing in a cheongsam.

Like them, they have fought in Taiwan, there are underground party members of faith, and there are many...
