In 1949, the War of Liberation entered the final decisive stage, the Kuomintang lost one after another, and had already lost the hearts of the people, and many generals and senior officials in the party were captured alive by the Communist Party.
Seeing that the general trend was gone, Chiang Kai-shek planned to abandon Jiangshan and flee to Taiwan to make other plans. As a result, these captured senior Kuomintang officials had no chance of escaping, and they could only wait to be sent.
But among these officials, there was even a deputy division commander who could retreat completely and even throw himself into the arms of the Communist Party. The general was Li Weiping, the prototype of Yu Zecheng in the TV series "Latent", who lurked within the Kuomintang for ten years.
In the past ten years, why did Li Weiping not reveal his identity from beginning to end, conceal it from the kuomintang up and down, and become a deputy division commander?
Loyalty to the party, never betrayal
Born in Anyue County, Sichuan Province, Li Weiping, li weiping, who experienced the Xinhai Revolution and the "May Fourth Movement" was influenced by Marxist thought from an early age, hoping to become a communist party member and follow the communist party to reorganize the mountains and rivers.
At the age of 20, Li Weiping was admitted to the First Normal University of Sichuan Province with excellent results, and participated in the anti-Japanese movement as a student representative many times, persuading his classmates to join the Communist Party and become progressive youths, and jointly resist Japan and save the people.
After Li Weiping graduated, the Party Central Committee valued his organizational ability and absolute loyalty to the Party, and arranged for him to study at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University in Yan'an.
Here, Li Weiping felt the enthusiasm of the holy land of revolution, and he immersed himself in studying in Yan'an, and met Qian Shenfu, an old classmate who later pulled him back from the brink of death.
A year later, li Weiping graduated from school, and the party organization helped Li Weiping change his name and surname, called "Li Qiang", sent him to a school in Sichuan to become the director of academic affairs, and joined hands with the local party organization to organize anti-Japanese work.
This matter concerned Li Weiping's life and the party's important work, so only a very small number of high-level leaders knew Li Weiping's true identity, and from then on Li Weiping held the name of "Li Qiang" until the end of the Liberation War.
Qian Shenfu saw that there was no trace of his former classmates, but at the time of the chaos of the soldiers and horses, and the war situation was complicated, he did not think much about it, only when Li Weiping was sent to work in a remote place.
Excellent pretender
In his work, Li Weiping's organizational ability was fully demonstrated, and at first he propagated the United Front in schools and villages, but he was expelled by the local Kuomintang government on the grounds that he instigated the people to resist Japan.
Li Weiping could only find another place.
After hitting and bumping into each other by mistake, Li Weiping successfully obtained the qualification of the Kuomintang Central Committee training class, which also meant that he would become an insider of the Kuomintang, and Li Weiping decided to obtain intelligence from the enemy and help the party do things smoothly.
In the training class, Li Weiping tried his best to think of himself as a Kuomintang member, and he made a wide range of classmates in the training class, all of whom were high-powered leaders in the future, and for the road ahead was smooth, Li Weiping had to try his best to disguise that he had a good relationship with them.
After graduating from the training class, Li Weiping was arranged to join the Sichuan Army and became a lieutenant.
Whether it is performance ability or military talent, Li Weiping is very handy, and he relies on his own talent to mix well in the military, deceive a number of superior leaders, and soon have access to some important information.
After Li Weiping got the information, he tried to pass it on to underground Communist Party members in various ways, and in "Latent", Yu Zecheng rolled the information into a cigarette roll, put it in a pen holder, and unconsciously passed it on to the Communist Intelligence Officers, and Li Weiping made only a lot more attempts.
Within the Kuomintang, suspicion of spies never stopped, people wanted to know who leaked the information, and they also protected themselves at all times and were not mistakenly exposed by others, so many factions formed in the party.
Li Weiping was in it, and his heart was pounding all night, afraid that others would find out his true identity and erase himself at night. Maintaining a superficial sense of harmony with his colleagues, he wandered among factions, and was soon recognized by these factions as "innocent", and no one looked at him with suspicion.
Li Weiping's undercover work is watertight, he often regards himself as a real Kuomintang cadre, and echoes the words and suggestions of his colleagues on the side, but he never gives advice, and his colleagues only think that he is too modest and smooth.
In addition, Li Weiping flattered the upper and lower ends, he treated his subordinates and Yan Yueshi, and did not punish criticism, so many subordinates had an excellent impression of him, and also exchanged the loyalty of many subordinates.
In dealing with his superiors, Li Weiping always lowered his posture, as if the students were facing the teacher, the bureaucratic atmosphere within the Kuomintang was strong, and the leaders were accustomed to the deference and respect of others, and felt very comfortable with Li Weiping's low posture.
Li Weiping therefore made steady progress in these ten years, until the victory of the Liberation War, and he was promoted to deputy division commander. During the war, Li Weiping's approach was also very comfortable, facing the Japanese Kou, he led the officers and men to charge fearlessly, and in the face of the communist army, he often commanded indiscriminately, and the number of troops was slightly reduced and he "fled in a hurry."
Li Weiping's undercover work was very successful, and in the 10 years since he became "Li Qiang", not only have the Kuomintang people never doubted his true identity, but the Communists could not recognize him, and even his old classmate Qian Shenfu had doubts about his identity.
Rescue from old friends of yesteryear
After the Battle of the Crossing River, the communist army occupied the Nationalist government in Nanjing and arrested dozens of Kuomintang officers and dignitaries.
When Qian Shenfu went to the prisoner-of-war camp to inspect and saw a group of senior generals of the Nationalist army imprisoned, he could not help but feel a little proud in his heart. But when he passed a deputy commander of the Nationalist Army, the man suddenly grabbed his arm, and Qian Shenfu's face darkened.
The division commander called out, "Shen Fu, it's me, Li Weiping!" When Qian Shenfu saw him, this division commander was indeed his old friend when he was a student, and now he was his prisoner of war, which was really embarrassing.
Li Weiping knew what Qian Shenfu had in mind, so he hastened to explain: "You don't think of me as a traitor to the revolution, so you can send a telegram to the Party Central Committee with the words 'Whether there is Comrade Li Qiang in the Party', and the Party Central Committee will explain it to you." ”
Qian Shenfu sent a suspicious telegram to the Party Central Committee, and the reply was to "quickly send Comrade Li Qiang back to Beiping", Li Weiping's true identity was finally confirmed, and Qian Shenfu's actions also saved Li Weiping.
Although Li Weiping did not heroically kill the enemy at the front line, his participation in intelligence work among the enemy was even more thrilling, and if he was not careful, he would be suspected and tortured by the enemy.
Dong Biwu once said that Li Weiping's contribution to the victory of the war was equivalent to the entire security bureau of Sichuan Province, but due to his special status, few people knew about Li Weiping as a "pretender."
Fortunately, there are film and television dramas that justify the names of people who are in danger of disaster at these moments, they are always in the Dragon Pond Tiger Cave, engaged in the most dangerous work, and should be known by more people.
