In late 1947, the War of Liberation was in full swing, and the relations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were in dire straits. It stands to reason that the Kuomintang officers would not easily surrender at this time.
However, one day, the SOLDIERs of the People's Liberation Army in southern Liaoning actually saw a young man dressed in a Kuomintang uniform single-handedly and alone intruding into the Liberated Areas. Everyone was very nervous, and they raised their guns to besiege him and make him surrender.
The young man was not afraid at all, and he raised his hands and showed that he was not hostile. But where would the PLA soldiers believe in him, and after searching his body and disarming him, they would escort him to a prisoner-of-war labor camp.
The benevolent brother immediately began to get nervous when he heard that he was going to reform the camp, and he shouted at several soldiers: "I want to see the chief and tell the chief that I am 902." The crowd hesitated, what does 902 mean, a special code name? Could it be that this person really has another identity?
To be cautious, they reflected the person's situation upwards. Soon after the information was passed on layer by layer, he personally came down to meet Chen Yun, then secretary of the Liaodong sub-bureau and political commissar of the military region. The two recognized each other as soon as they met, and it turned out to be you.
So who is this person? What is the relationship with Chen Yun?
Poor boy, join the military school
It turned out that this man was called Zhao Wei, who was 28 years old at the time and was already a staff officer of the Major of the Eleventh Theater of the Kuomintang. However, these are only his superficial identities, in fact, his real identity is an underground party member of our party. So how did he get into the enemy camp? Everything is still related to his life.
Zhao Wei was born in a poor family in Hebei Province, and due to the difficult family conditions, he gave people apprenticeships to support himself at a very young age. In the years when he was growing up, it was precisely the most fierce era of the anti-Japanese struggle, and the "918 Incident" and "July 7 Incident" created by the Japanese army invading China were provoking Chinese's heart every minute and second.
They plundered the land of China and brutalized innocent people in a frenzied manner, making all the people of China angry. At that time, many young people put down their studies and work and threw themselves into the ranks of killing the enemy and defending the country. This includes Zhao Wei.
In 1939, Zhao Wei came to Guilin and was admitted to the branch of the Whampoa Military Academy in Guilin, counting as the sixteenth term students of the Whampoa Military Academy. After graduation he was assigned to the Fifth Theater Recruit Battalion as a probationary platoon leader.
When he first arrived here, Zhao Wei still had a hint of displeasure. Because this battalion was only responsible for training new recruits, there was no chance to go to the battlefield. Zhao Wei's enthusiasm for serving the country is useless here. Therefore, Zhao Wei chose to vote elsewhere.
At first, he went to Shaanxi to find the chief of his military academy, who was already serving as a commander in the army. Zhao Wei very much hoped to join their team and kill the enemy together. However, the commander-in-chief reprimanded him for violating military discipline and leaving his post without authorization. Zhao Wei was very disappointed, not only was he ostracized, but even the original troops could not go back.
Helpless, Zhao Wei could only find a way to entrust people, this time he asked for Zhu Jianguo, a classmate who was a staff officer in the Fifth Theater at the time, on the contrary, Zhu Jianguo generously took him in and gave him a job in the Japanese Overseas Chinese Prisoner of War Management Office, that is, this stay made his life experience take a 360-degree turn.
Classmates lead the way and submit to our party
Zhu Jianguo was specifically in charge of the relations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party here, and although it was in a period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party at that time, the Kuomintang still had some precautions against the Communist Party, and Zhu Jianguo's department was specifically designed to deal with the Communist Party.
They have always seized many Communist Party pamphlets and many newspapers and books introducing the Communist Party. Zhao Wei lived with Zhu Jianguo, and when he had nothing to do, he would turn to a few pages of such confiscated books to look at, and gradually his thoughts were already subtly identifying with the culture of the Communist Party.
But the actual situation is not far from this, and his classmate Zhu Jianguo is actually a Communist Party member in private. Zhao Wei and Zhu Jianguo ate and lived together all day and became friends who talked about everything. And Zhu Jianguo gradually taught him some of the Communist Party's ideas and concepts. Zhao Wei began to aspire to the development of the Communist Party.
At the recommendation of Zhu Jianguo, Zhao Wei first met Wang Shijian, an underground member of the Communist Party of China, and expressed to him his desire to go to the battlefield and resist the Wokou. Wang Shijian was very pleased to see that this young man had such ambitions, and he very much wanted to include him under his command. But to let Zhao Wei go where to go, Wang Shijian had other arrangements.
Later, Wang Shijian met with Zhao Wei separately twice. He felt that Zhao Wei's current identity could still be reused, and he hoped that Zhao Wei, like Zhu Jianguo, would become a member of our Party lurking in the Kuomintang and pass on reliable information to our Party.
The work of the latent personnel is special and extremely dangerous, but like those comrades on the battlefield, they are people who struggle for the survival of the country.
Zhao Wei gladly accepted the job. Wang Shijian then reported to Li Kenong, approved Zhao Wei's application to join the party secretly, and gave him an exclusive code name for our party's intelligence personnel, "902", which he called out at the beginning.
Divine intelligence, repeated merits
Since then, Zhao Wei and Zhu Jianguo have been transferred to other places because of the work of the Kuomintang, but they are still working for our party. Zhu Jianguo went to Tianjin Sun Lianzhong's troops, while Zhao Wei was in charge of the secret room at the Kuomintang Northeast Security Headquarters. Because of his position, he had more access to confidential documents such as combat offensive maps and the distribution of the main force.
By 1946, relations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party had broken down, and the War of Liberation was on the verge of breaking out. The Communist forces are not above the Kuomintang in terms of strength and equipment, so how can they win this battle? At this time, Zhao Wei, who was far away in the Northeast Command, came in handy.
In early March 1947, the Kuomintang army attacked Liaodong in the fourth place, and its detailed battle plan was kept in Zhao Wei's secret room. Zhao Wei was ecstatic, this was his first and most important opportunity to pass on information.
At that time, the underground party arranged for another liaison officer to contact it. Zhao Wei copied the general battle plan on a small note, quickly stuffed it into the hands of the liaison officer when he was out, and instructed him to hand it over to the headquarters on time.
The first time the intelligence was passed, it was a thrilling success, and Zhao Wei was also relieved. However, later he learned to be smart, and if he passed on the information again, he could no longer use such an easy way to be caught.
He applied to his superiors for radio stations and transmitters, and in the future he would rely on these things to transmit intelligence to the central authorities. Then Zhao Wei would pass on some Kuomintang information through the radio every month, such as the Kuomintang's general offensive objectives, combat methods, and troop layout, etc., in short, the news that Zhao Wei could know would be told to the headquarters through this small radio.
It is also because of this that our Party can always seize a step ahead in the battle at the front. But since Zhao Wei has done a good job, why did he go to the Liberated Areas to "send people's heads"?
Colleagues have accidents, fear of exploding identities
It turned out that Zhao Wei had imitated the leadership's tone and issued a false order during the Lanshan War, which not only deceived everyone, but also caused chaos in the battle plan of the Kuomintang 13th Army, which eventually led to the great defeat of the Kuomintang army.
Zhao Wei was also rewarded by the Communist Party for this, but this infuriated General Du Yuming, the superior of the Kuomintang's Northeast Command, and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter immediately, but it was never possible to find out who the culprit was. Although Zhao Wei did not reveal his identity, he caused various vigilances within the party. Old Jiang even personally issued an order, asking the Northeast Regional Headquarters to secretly eliminate the internal ghosts.
Of course, such an action was carried out unconsciously, although the headquarters had not yet found Zhao Wei's head. However, Zhao Wei had already sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and the liaison officer who had docked with him had been secretly arrested, and Zhao Wei did not dare to appear or use the radio again. He wanted to go to Zhu Jianguo to discuss his next plan, but he didn't want to hear the news that Zhu Jianguo and Wang Shijian had also been arrested.
Zhao Wei, who was alone and widowed, suddenly panicked, and the two were arrested one after another, and the Kuomintang would definitely follow the vine to find him here. So he planned to go back to his hometown for a few days, but when he called home first, it was a strange voice. Zhao Wei knew that he had been targeted, and this family could not return.
Thinking about it, he still decided to go to the Liberated Areas to seek communist protection. Therefore, there is a scene at the beginning, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, he fled all the way from Shenyang to Liaoning, and finally recognized the organization.
Chen Yun came to see him on behalf of the organization to confirm his identity, and it was verified that he was released from his detention after 902. Zhao Wei is not a prisoner of war, but he is our comrade who has made meritorious achievements.
brief summary:
Zhao Wei's ending was finally safe, which was quite gratifying. Although his identity has been revealed, he can no longer work as a secret agent. But we still have to thank him for the information he delivered to the Communist Party in those years, and for his contribution to the victory of the revolution.
It can be said that he is still lucky, and it is not easy for him to still get rid of the cicada in the face of the arrest of his colleagues, bosses and liaison officers.
In fact, in that era, an underground party like him was not only one of him. Nowadays, film and television dramas like to describe such characters the most, as if their stories are exciting and emotional. But how can a real agent bring his own "protagonist aura" like a film and television drama? They circled the enemy every day, watching everyone's every move.
Not only should we listen to the eight directions and look at the six ways, but we must also have amazing prejudgment ability. As soon as there is a wind and grass, it is necessary to make corresponding countermeasures. Such identities expose themselves to dangerous situations at every moment, and they can survive entirely by their own ability. Zhao Wei is one of the lucky ones.
But why do you have to do such a dangerous job? Just as Zhao Wei thought at the time, he did this nothing more than to realize his dream of serving the motherland.
The turmoil of the times made them choose to serve the country with their own examples, they were not afraid of death, but they were afraid that China would fall into a place of no return. Whether going to the battlefield or going undercover, we all hope that China will no longer have aggressors or reactionaries, and that only by ending the chaos of the war at an early date can we usher in victory and the dawn of peace.
