In November 1948, at a critical moment in the Battle of Huaihai, a shocking espionage case suddenly broke out in Xuzhou. The second son, Jiang Weiguo, captured underground Communist Party intelligence officers. From the telephone pole he was carrying, he found the deployment plan of the Chinese army's troops in Xuzhou. Jiang Weiguo was interrogated all night and found that the case was directly directed at Guo Rujie, director of the Operational Department of the Ministry of National Defense.
First, Jiang Weiguo engaged in espionage warfare
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Dai Kasa continued to expand the unified strength of the army, and the sphere of influence continued to expand, forming a powerful private force. Chiang Kai-shek was very dissatisfied with this. On the one hand, he supported the unification of the central authorities and the unification of the military and checked each other; on the other hand, he deliberately arranged for Chiang Ching-kuo to increase political work, constantly interfered in the intelligence system, and dispersed Dai's power.
Jiang Weiguo considered himself very popular. In fact, intelligence work does not depend on diet, drinking, and relationships with gangsters. Qualified intelligence personnel must receive professional training. How do I hire some gang members to engage in intelligence activities? Jiang Weiguo felt that something was wrong from the beginning, but the black whirlwind never showed any hint.
At the end of the Battle of Shanghai, Jiang Weiguo's troops wanted to fight a position and ordered the black tornado platoon leader to take a few people to take charge, and the black tornado took people away without saying anything. This is the strategy formulated by Jiang Weiguo. As soon as the black whirlwind rushed out, he was arrested by the people around him.
Second, Guo Rugui's moment of shock
Jiang Weiguo's suspicions about Guo Rugui were initially based on subjective speculation. Guo Ruzhi was praised by Chen Cheng and promoted again and again. In 1946, he relocated 3 times a year and was promoted to deputy director of the Ministry of Defense, responsible for strategic planning. Jiang Weiguo established a spy network in Xuzhou and mastered the communication skills commonly used by our underground party intelligence personnel, such as secret words, secret codes, gestures, etc.
On this basis, Jiang Weiguo trained spy agents, who pretended to be underground parties of the CCP, which caused repercussions. Underground party traffic officers who often went to Xuzhou became Jiang Weiguo's target. After Dai Kasa's death, Mao Renfeng, Tang Zong, and Zheng Jiemin fought fiercely, and the army was renamed the Secret Bureau. After much deliberation, Jiang Weiguo sent a telegram to the General Staff Headquarters, hoping that through Chief of Staff Gu Zhutong, the matter could be exposed and Guo Ruzhi would be put down.
Why didn't the secret telegram reach Nanjing?
So, is this top-secret map really sent by Guo Rujie? In terms of time, it is possible. But logically, this is not possible. Judging from Jiang Weiguo's self-report, this intelligence case is likely to be that the intelligence officers of the East China Bureau, who were members of the General Staff of the Nationalist Army at the Headquarters of The Xuzhou Crackdown, bought a deployment plan with a lot of money, and obtained intelligence through his own system.
Du Yuming believed that those who could shake Chiang Kai-shek's intentions to change must have clever strategic thinking, and he also understood the characteristics of Chiang Kai-shek's empty talk about ideals, doctrines, and sacrifices. Only in this way could he induce Chiang Kai-shek to lose face and use Xuzhou as a decisive battle site.
However, this fact shows that Gu Zhutong still trusts Guo Rujie very much. Secondly, Guo Rujie repeatedly formulated unique plans in the War of Resistance Against Japan, proposing many constructive strategic plans, and his abilities are well known, but in fact there are deeper constraints.
Multiple Entanglements: Guo Rugui's Wise Retreat Plan
As mentioned above, Guo Rujie is a heavyweight in Chen Cheng's Department of Civil Engineering. Gu Zhutong was afraid of Chen Cheng and did not dare to touch Guo Rujie. This matter was carried out in secret, and only Chiang Kai-shek, Gu Zhutong, Li Zongren and other high-level figures knew about it, and they only said that they would not do it. After all, Chiang Kai-shek's slogan at this time was still to defeat the CCP. If the administration of Taiwan were made public, the Chiang dynasty could collapse immediately.
After analyzing the information, Su Yu felt that it was unreasonable, and the water network in the southeast direction was crisscrossed, which was not conducive to the past of the heavy troops of the Nationalist Army. Du Yuming is not a mediocre person. The most likely route at the moment is to leave Yongcheng in the west and then join Huang Wei along the land route. Although this route is a relatively circular intersection, if it can be combined with Huang Weijun, the Nationalist army will still win.
Therefore, considering various factors, even if Gu Zhutong really doubted Guo Rugui, he did not need to rectify Guo Rugui for his future. He will capture some agents and kill some spies, can Jiang Shan be rescued? Guo Rugui heard the news that Xuzhou had occupied the underground party. Even though he knew it was an intelligence crossroads, he couldn't help but be moved.
Guo Rugui was worried that Chiang Kai-shek would leave the pot to kill people after the end of the three major wars, and he was an important figure in charge of strategic planning, and he might not be able to escape at that time, so he asked the party through Ren Lianru if the party could return to the Liberated Areas.
Organizational research holds that Guo Rugui had returned to the Liberated Areas at this time and did not remain in the enemy's camp. If for security reasons, it is possible to go to the troops below to be proficient in the army, so it is possible to continue to serve the party. After leaving the center, no one really bothered him anymore.
