In 1947, at a certain company headquarters, a shaky figure came in the distance, and several plasters who were patrolling were very nervous, and this person staggered as if he was drunk, but it was indeed coming towards them. Several soldiers carefully identified it, and found that this man was dressed in a complete Costume of a Kuomintang officer under the thick mud, and immediately set up a rifle in his hand and aimed it at him.
Who knew that this clay man did not have any surprises to be frightened, nor did he have the slightest intention of stopping, he just raised his hands cheerfully and showed the empty waist without a little weapon. But that didn't make several fighters let their guard down. "I want to see your commander and send me to your company headquarters," this "self-casting net" move sentry was still the first time they met, and after repeated confirmation, they had to transfer him to the company headquarters according to the wishes of this unknown Kuomintang.
Zhao Wei
The soldiers of the company headquarters could not understand the situation, so they had to continue to transfer him to the battalion headquarters, so that he was sent up one level at a time, and he was finally sent to the Liaonan Military Region. "I am a 902 intelligence officer, Li Kenong knows my identity" The commander did not understand the intentions of the person who claimed to be an intelligence officer, so he had to call the Intelligence Department of the CPC Central Committee for verification.
After receiving a positive reply from the CPC Central Committee, the identity of this 902 intelligence officer was finally revealed. His name was Zhao Wei, and he was an operational staff officer of the Kuomintang Northeast Security Command, in charge of the secret room of the Northeast Kuomintang Army Headquarters, and was responsible for marking the troop allocation of the Kuomintang Army's northeast regions and the list of troops stationed at or above the regimental level.
Although his position is not important in the secret room, the number of confidential documents available to him is enormous. Many secret documents will be through his hands, including some battle plans, firepower and other documents can be easily consulted, even the deployment of military power, will be simulated in the secret room with a sand table, he looked up, he had a number in mind.
How could such an intelligence officer who had been soaking in the heart of the enemy army all day be easily let go, and the Liaonan Military Region did not immediately transfer him, but wanted to dig up all the information that this intelligence officer knew. At that time, the chief of the intelligence section of the military region, Xia Wei, constantly inquired about Zhao Wei, and even Zhao Wei, who had just risked his life for a long journey, was very cooperative, and wrote materials for three days before leaving the Liaoning Military Region and going to the Northeast Liaodong Branch.
In order to avoid the Kuomintang sentries, he did not dare to take the bridge, so he had to swim from the river, nor did he dare to take a means of transport, not even the main road, because he was wearing a conspicuous Kuomintang officer uniform. He could only walk in the wilderness, and he had to pay attention to avoiding the Kuomintang garrison troops in the wilderness. When he fled from his mother-in-law's house in Shenyang, the situation was so critical that he did not even wear a woolen coat, and the cold evening wind in the northeast ripped his wet and cold body like a blade.
He was one foot deep and one foot shallow in the sorghum field, and the sharp leaves of the crops had cut a hole in his body, and he was very embarrassed, but in order to survive, he had to flee with all his might. Since he knew that his identity as a spy had been exposed, he had no choice but to flee with his life, as long as he was arrested, his fate would be more vicious and less fortunate, and a phone call he had made to the secret room at his fiancée's grandmother's house had exposed the fact that he was in Shenyang, and the Kuomintang army in Shenyang would surely receive a warrant to arrest him. He looked up at the Big Dipper in the sky and kept walking toward the southwest, and it was safe to walk to the liberated area in the southwest.
In this way, Zhao Wei walked in the barren mountains for three days and four nights, and on the way he also crossed a big mountain on foot. When you are thirsty, you drink mountain spring water, and when you are hungry, you grab the raw grain from the crop field and send it to your mouth. On the way, he was lucky to find several farmhouses, he lied that he had accidentally lost his position during the battle, and in order to save his life, he gained the sympathy and trust of the peasants and borrowed it for two nights.
Northeast Battlefield
Along the way, he was running non-stop except for sleeping, and with his feet, he escaped from Shenyang to Lushun. When he reached the Liberated Area, he took off his shoes, his feet were already worn to a blur of blood and flesh, and they were glued to the clothes such as socks, and it hurt a little to tear off. On September 27, 1947, Zhao Wei went to the secret radio station of Shen Bingquan and his wife as usual to transmit information to our party, but unexpectedly saw the strange appearance of the curtains and passed on a red flag.
Later, he learned through Yao Yikou, who was also an underground party, that Shen Bingquan had been controlled by secret agents, and the Kuomintang rummaged through boxes and cabinets from Shen Bingquan and his wife's residence and found a hand-drawn military map, which was drawn by Zhao Wei. Zhao Wei was very nervous, worried that the Kuomintang would follow the clues to find out about his existence, but through further understanding, he believed that the Kuomintang currently had very little information about the underground party, and it would be more dangerous for him to escape without permission.
While he was struggling internally, he was assigned by his superiors to immediately go to Beiping and report to Chiang Kai-shek in person on the northeast defense battle plan. Zhao Wei was calm and calm on the surface, but in fact he was extremely happy in his heart, and he had been uncertain after Shen Bingquan was arrested, and he wanted to take this opportunity to go to Beiping to meet Wang Shijian, who had led him to become an intelligence officer.
Peiping
When he arrived in Beiping, he did not immediately go to Chiang Kai-shek's mansion, but instead went to meet his old classmate Ji Qiren, who wanted to explore the situation in Beiping from his old classmates. Zhu Jianguo and Shen Bingquan were both in direct contact with Wang Shijian, so did Wang Shijian and the Beiping underground party organization suffer heavy damage?
Zhao Wei had no way of knowing now, and at the moment he could only hurry to find a safe place to stay, so he came to the dormitory of his classmate Li Baocheng to borrow it. It was learned from Li Baocheng that the Kuomintang had already arrested more than a dozen underground parties in this action. The beiping underground party organization has undoubtedly suffered a heavy blow, and Zhao Wei's heart is cold, but on the surface he still has to go along with Li Baocheng and pretend to be very sorry for his colleagues who have joined the underground party.
Zhao Wei's patriotic speech in his later years
The more people arrested, the more intelligence the Kuomintang had, according to this information, it must be possible to follow the clues to find him out, it is only a matter of time, Zhao Wei does not know what to do next, the connectors around him have been arrested and imprisoned, he is like a kite with a broken line, do not know where to go. He has lost contact with the organization, is he going to escape next? This bold idea flashed through his mind, but it was quickly suppressed, and he remembered that Wang Shijian had said to him, "Your position is very important, and you must not leave your post until you have to." This sentence seemed to be a reassuring pill, allowing Zhao Wei to find a little calm.
Indeed, as Wang Shijian said, Zhao Wei's position is of great importance to our party's acquisition of important intelligence from the Kuomintang. Before this exposure, Zhao Wei had made many outstanding contributions to our party. In 1947, Zhao Wei revealed to the Communists the detailed battle plan for the fourth kuomintang attack on southern Liaoning, and even attached a schematic map.

"Du Yuming plans to gather more than 120,000 men from 12 divisions of the 60th Army, the 93rd Army, the 52nd Army, and the 13th Army, which will soon be transferred from Rehe to Xinbin, and fight a decisive battle with us in the areas of Meihekou, Sanyuanpu, Qidaogou (that is, present-day Hunjiang City), Tonghua, Ji'an, and Changbai Mountain, and occupy the base areas of Linjiang, Jingyu, Fusong, and Changbai of our Liaodong Military Region, so as to realize its strategy of 'attacking from the north to the south, first from the south and then to the north'; its main offensive forces are the 89th Division and the 54th Division of the 13th Army; the gathering place is Sanyuanpu in Xinbin; and the date of the attack is set for early April."
This detailed information played a very important role in the annihilation of the 13 units of the Kuomintang army by our army later. At that time, the 13th Army received instructions from Du Yuming to rush from Chifeng to Shenyang, and Zhao Wei stepped on the same train with the 13th Army in order to find out the specific location of the march, under the pretext of visiting his classmates. Just as Zhao Wei was having a good conversation with his old classmate who was a staff officer in the 13th Army, Shi Jue, the commander of the 13th Army, scolded him, questioned him why he was on the train, a man who had nothing to do with the queue, and drove him off the train.
Zhao Wei got out of the car sadly, but the information he had just exchanged with his old classmates was enough for him to grasp the movements of the 13th Army, so he hurried back to the secret room and drafted a false order, which roughly meant that The Commander of the Shi Army quickly changed the marching ground to Sanyuanpu in Xinbin and occupied the commanding heights of Lanshan Mountain. Because Zhao Wei learned that the Communists had laid out a bag-shaped formation at the foot of Lanshan Mountain, at this time, the 13th Army wanted to capture the Lanshan Heights, that is, to attract the Kuomintang into the bag. The terrain of Lanshan Mountain is dangerous, and there are high mountains on three sides, as long as it enters the battle, there is no doubt that the entire army will be destroyed.

After the order was drawn up, it was signed layer by layer and immediately sent to the front. Unsurprisingly, the 13th Army suffered a heavy blow on this trip, which directly led to the defeat of the Kuomintang in this campaign. It was also a turning point in the northeast battlefield, where the Communist army took the initiative. However, Du Yuming's strategic plan of "attacking the south and defending the north, first the south and then the north" also failed, and Chiang Kai-shek thought that Du Yuming's command was incompetent and scolded Du Yuming.
When Du Yuming followed up to track down this fatal order that triggered the failure, because there were too many people to handle it, it was impossible to determine responsibility in the end, so he had to stop it. No one could have imagined that such a false order to change the Kuomintang army was drafted by an unremarkable correspondent, Zhao Wei.
In the middle of June, during the Siping Campaign, Zhao Wei repeatedly informed the secret radio station in Shenyang of the mobilization and deployment of the Kuomintang army in a timely manner, and relying on these reliable and timely intelligence, our side annihilated more than 10,000 enemy troops, killed the deputy chief of staff of the enemy's 71st Army, and captured more than 6,000 enemy troops. If it were not for the arrival of the enemy's rescue later, our side would not be able to support the firepower, or it would have been possible to take siping, a strategic place.
Du Yuming
However, the heavy blows inflicted on the Kuomintang army alone were enough to strike at the Kuomintang, recovering 42 towns and towns, and expanding the liberated areas by another 160,000 square kilometers, so that the liberated areas in all directions of the southeast, southwest, and northwest were connected, and the Kuomintang was suppressed on a small data point, and had to move from comprehensive defense to the key defense stage. The situation in the Northeast has also undergone fundamental changes since then. All this is inseparable from Zhao Wei's credit. This is also the reason why Wang Shijian has repeatedly stressed that Zhao Wei will not easily leave his post.
Zhao Wei did not give up his hopes in Beiping, and he tried to contact Wang Xiao and confirm the news that the underground party organization in Beiping had been seriously damaged. Unexpectedly, the day before, he had just exchanged ideas with Wang Xiao, and the next day Wang Xiao's door was already guarded by secret agents. Zhao Wei thought about it, determined to risk his life back to Shenyang to explore.
On October 14, 1947, Zhao Wei boarded a plane back to Shenyang, and after returning to Shenyang, he did not immediately return to his residence, nor did he take a leave of absence to go back to work, he needed to find out whether he had been exposed. Because in the homes of all the captured underground party members, a large amount of intelligence information passed through his hands can certainly be seized, and it is only natural that the Kuomintang will find out his true identity. Zhao Wei thought of his fiancée, and he planned to go to his fiancée's house to take a break from the limelight, even if there was any emergency, he could escape with his fiancée.

Unfortunately, the fiancée went to work and was not at home, and there was only one grandmother in the family. So Zhao Wei picked up the phone and dialed the outlaw phone. The colleague on the other end of the phone was very surprised when he learned that it was his call, and asked him in detail about his current location three times, Zhao Wei knew that things were not good, as soon as the phone was put down, he did not even have time to take his coat, he ran out of the house and fled to the Liberated Area without a life.
Zhao Wei was lucky, after experiencing the hardships of this road of escape, he finally succeeded in coming to the Liberated Areas and put on the uniform of the People's Liberation Army. All the efforts made by Zhao Wei were not in vain in the future; he had a vision; at first he disagreed with Chiang Kai-shek's revolutionary ideas, he did not choose to continue to blindly follow, but actively read progressive books, tried to absorb progressive ideas, and foresaw the immeasurable development of the Communist Party of China in the future at a young age.

His strong belief not only supported his latent work, but also saved his life, allowing him to continue to bask in the warm sunshine after the victory of the Liberation War. It is precisely because there are countless young people like him who dare to think and dare to do it that New China can fall to the ground and have a beautiful and happy life today.
