On February 14, 1962, the People's Daily published a poem by Dong Biwu, the elder Dong: Thirty years ago, the matter had been credited, and Zhijun was good at China. Can plot quite like a house servant shooting, with a difference with Li Zuoche. Heaven does not give up the old, and if a man can redeem a thousand families. Ji Qiu Ke Shao Zhi Lan Xiu, holding high the red flag barrier to the sunset. This is an elegy written by Elder Dong to mourn the death of Li Kenong. There are many dictionaries in the poem, and the general meaning is that Li Kenong is a talented figure in China, just like Fang Xuanling in the Tang Dynasty and Li Zuoche in the Han Dynasty, who has courage and strategy, but it is a pity that the day does not leave the year, but there are later generations who will continue Li Kenong's unfinished cause and hold high the red flag of revolution.
In 1955, Li Kenong was awarded the rank of general. Among those founding fathers with outstanding military achievements, he had quite uniqueness, as a soldier, Li Kelong never led a soldier or a pawn to face the enemy on the position throughout his life. But everyone knows that between Admiral Li's cuffs, there are a million male soldiers. That is, the countless unsung heroes under his command who are famous today, or who are still silently precipitated under the dust of history, the "fighters" of the CCP's intelligence protection system. And Elder Dong himself is also an intelligence marshal who commands countless "unsung heroes".
With the historical footsteps of New China, many famous "unsung heroes" of the CPC's intelligence protection system have been declassified one after another, and many have become models in people's hearts today and will always remember their heroic souls. And more during the war years, the Red Agents who fought for the country and for national liberation in the most brutal enemy-occupied areas remained unknown. There is an old ancestor in Wenxi County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province, who is such an "unsung hero", his name is Liu Taibao.
Liu Taibao, a native of Xishe Village, Tongcheng Town, Wenxi County. In September 1937, the iron hooves of the invading Japanese army had already broken into Shanxi, and the land of the Three Jins was full of smoke. With a passion for serving the country, Liu Taibao, who was only 18 years old, joined the anti-Japanese guerrilla group in Wenxi County and participated in many battles against Japan since then.
In March 1938, Liu Taibao participated in a series of battles such as the Walnut Rake Ambush, when the guerrillas planned to attack wenxi railway station. Liu Taibao showed his ability to be a red agent for the first time (of course, at this time, he was not yet a professional, experienced red scout), only because he was familiar with the conditions of the geographical environment of the county town, he first went into the city to reconnoiter the enemy situation, understand the situation of the enemy troops at the railway station, and then drew a map of the surrounding environment of the station, which provided a reference for the guerrillas to formulate a combat plan. In the battle against the railway station, he charged forward again and fought bravely, which severely damaged the Japanese pseudo garrison at Wenxi Railway Station. Liu Taibao's intelligence merits should be credited with the first credit.
In early July 1938, Liu Taibao was followed by Chai Zemin (who had been the first Chinese ambassador to the United States, then director of the Organization Department of the Wenxi County Party Committee and director of the political department of the Wenxi Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Detachment. Under his leadership, he entered the village of Beiyuan Fenglezhuang, eliminated the bandit Yan Huatao, and removed the scourge from the local area.

In October 1938, the Wenxi County Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Detachment was reorganized in Hanjialing, Xia County, and became the seventh brigade of the Eighth Route Army guerrilla brigade in Jinyubian, and the leader of the brigade was Jia Kangjie, who was praised by Liu Shaoqi as the "mass leader" of Hedong.
This was in 1927, when the White Terror was at its height, when veterans of the Ccp had studied in Japan twice. He successively served as director of the organization department of the Hedong Special Committee of the CPC, secretary of the Central County CPC Committee of Hedong, member of the Jinyu Special Committee of the CPC, member of the Zhongtiao Prefectural Committee, and minister of military affairs; director of the Logistics Supply Department of the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Detachment of the Eighth Route Army in the Jinyu Border Region, director of the Political Department of the Sixth Brigade, and captain of the Seventh Brigade; he was also an alternate representative of the "Seventh National Congress" of the CPC.
What is shocking is that on November 18, 1939, on the way back to the Zhongtiao Prefectural Committee, Jia Kangjie was assassinated by Kuomintang agents and unfortunately died at the age of 49.
Martyr of Jaconje
In November 1938, after experiencing battlefield and political tests, Liu Taibao joined the CCP and introduced Li Haiquan (one of the founders of the anti-Japanese guerrilla group in Wenxi County) at the age of 19. Later, he was ordered to send a group of six people with his comrades-in-arms to Yan'an to study. After arriving in Xi'an, the Eighth Office of Xi'an arranged to study in the "Youth Training Class" of Anwubao in Jingyang County.
The "An Wu Youth Training Class" is not well-known today, but in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, it trained a large number of grass-roots cadres for the CPC, occupying an important page in the history of the Party. When the class was run, it was called a "short-term training course for young people in wartime". It was a school in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in which the Youth Work Committee of the CPC Central Committee specially trained young cadres.
Feng Wenbin's old predecessor
It was sponsored in October 1937 by the Northwest Youth Salvation Congress. Originally located in Sanyuan Doukou Town, Shaanxi Province, it was moved to Anwubao Village in Anwu Town after the fourth phase of the class in January 1938, commonly known as "Anwu Youth Training Class". Class teacher Feng Wenbin. The purpose of education is to grant young people a minimum amount of military and political knowledge in the shortest possible period. Courses include the basic theories of the War of Resistance (social sciences, the Three People's Principles, the Anti-Japanese National United Front) and military courses (playground movements, use of weapons, infantry techniques, guerrilla tactics). In addition to extracurricular activities, students focus on self-study. Semesters range from half a month to 3 months depending on the actual situation of the student. Up to April 1940, a total of 12 sessions were held, and more than 10,000 young cadres of all kinds were trained. In April 1940, according to the needs of the environment and situation of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, under the instructions of the central authorities, all the youth training classes were evacuated from Anwu Fort and moved to Yan'an, and renamed the Zedong Youth Cadre School.
After more than three months of study, Liu Taibao returned to the army and joined Sun Dingguo (an iron-blooded soldier who threw his pen from Rong, fought for the country, and at the same time was a famous philosopher in new China in the future, who served as deputy director of the philosophy teaching and research office of the Central High Party School, a member of the party committee of the school, and an academic member of the Faculty of the Chinese Academy of Sciences), became a political commander of a grass-roots company, served as a political instructor of the 2nd Battalion and 5th Company of the 55th Regiment, and was later promoted to acting instructor of the 2nd Battalion.
In August 1939, on the orders of Sun Dingguo, Liu Taibao, acting instructor of the 2nd Battalion of the 55th Regiment, led the 2nd Battalion and the 3rd Battalion led by The Commander of the Qin Ruizhi Battalion, set up an ambush in dayan village, Yishi County, ambushed the Japanese transport vehicles, burned 3 enemy cars, annihilated more than 50 Japanese troops, and captured a large number of uniforms, weapons and ammunition. After the battle, Liu Taibao was named a battle hero.
In December 1939, Liu Taibao participated in the battle of the 212th Brigade to encircle and annihilate the 39th Regiment of yan's recalcitrant army, annihilating more than 200 enemy troops, capturing more than 600 enemy enemy in Huilong Village, Ronghe County, capturing 20 machine guns, more than 500 rifles, and more than 10,000 rounds of ammunition. The enemy regimental commander Cai Qingshan was also drowned in the Yellow River. In this battle, Liu Taibao led 5 companies of fighters to rush and fight fiercely, charging forward, annihilating a large number of enemies. He alone captured 37 enemy rifles and was once again named a combat hero.
Later, Liu Taibao was ordered to infiltrate behind enemy lines and silently became a "soldier" on the CCP's hidden front from a cadre of the Eighth Route Army.
In 1944, when Fu Maohui (his brother Fu Maogong, but known as his last name, Peng Zhen), Cao Bin and five others from the Houma Railway Office (the organization of the CCP's hidden front) went to Xindi County to carry out their mission, due to whistle-blowing, the Japanese puppet army immediately closed the city gate and searched the whole city for the CCP's secret staff, and Cao, Fu and 5 others were trapped and could not leave the city. At the critical moment, they found Liu Taibao, who was already lurking in Xindi County, and informed him of the emergency. Liu Taibao immediately took five comrades Cao and Fu to hide in the attic of his house at No. 1 Niuli Lane. The five comrades stayed there for five days and five nights, until the city gate was opened on the sixth day, and only then was Liu Taibao safely sent out of the city and escaped the disaster.
The Japanese invasion of China in Xindi
In November 1945, at the behest of Cao Bin, the head of the Communist Party of China in the Houma Railway Office, Liu Taibao took advantage of the convenience of his relative Wen Dezheng who was serving as the director of the political department of the 44th Division of Yan Xishan's troops, and infiltrated the Yan army to engage in the work of disintegrating the enemy army and agitating. Between 1946 and 1948, Liu Taibao relied solely on his status as a Yan army to rescue dozens of party members, cadres, militiamen, and their families.
For example, in the summer of 1946, Hou Zhonghe, a member of the Communist Party of China and a guerrilla medical officer in Jiexiu County, was arrested by Yan's army. During the interrogation, Hou Zhonghe was unyielding and did not recognize his CCP identity, let alone admit that he was a guerrilla medical officer. Liu Taibao, who was then a captain instructor in the 1st Company of the 1st Regiment of the 44th Division of the Yan Army, took advantage of his personal relationship with Guo Chunduan, the chief judge, to drunk Guo Chunduan, privately changed the relevant contents of the case file, and then found his own relatives, and Wen Dezheng, director of the division's political department, unblocked relations and demanded the release of Hou Zhonghe. With the joint efforts of others, Hou Zhonghe was finally released. (Hou Zhonghe served as the president of Jiexiu County People's Hospital after the founding of New China, was elected as a representative of the People's Congress, a member of the county people's committee, and later served as the vice chairman of the Jiexiu County CPPCC Committee)

Because Liu Taibao successively released and rescued dozens of CCP members and progressive masses, the defendant sent him to yan Xishan's "Iron Army Association" and said that he was a communist. As a result, Liu Taibao was imprisoned for 47 days in the "Iron Training Society" of Wanberlin, and not only tortured him, but even escorted him to the execution ground to accompany him. Liu Taibao was unyielding and unrecognizable, and later It was Yang Yonghe (the company commander of the Yan Army who worked with Liu Taibao) who contacted Wen Dezheng and 6 other division-level officers as a guarantee before being released.
On October 5, 1948, the Battle of Taiyuan was launched. In March 1949, Liu Taibao was then the commander of the machine gun company, and Yang Yonghe was then the commander of the Third Regiment of the Forty-ninth Division, and the two were ordered to defend the Area of the Twin Pagoda Temple. Years of operation, at this time to blossom and bear fruit. Liu Taibao and Yang Yonghe's political tendencies gradually converged. On April 22, 1949, the People's Liberation Army launched an attack on the Twin Pagoda Temple, and Liu Taibao machine gun defending the forward position of the Twin Pagoda Temple did not fire a single shot, threw the machine gun outside the trench, and revolted before the battle. Later, Liu Taibao acted as a guide and led the PLA commandos from the dark passage to the Yan Army bunker, and the PLA soldiers successfully blew up the fire-intensive bunker. The regimental commander Yang Yonghe also issued an order: "Without my order, no one is allowed to shoot." "When the Platon Army attacked, Yang Yonghe's troops did not fire a single shot, and the whole regiment surrendered in front of the front. Liu Taibao's machine gun company revolted before the front, Yang Yonghe led three regiments of officers and men to surrender in front of the front, the fortress of the Twin Pagoda Temple collapsed, and Liu Taibao and Yang Yonghe made special contributions to the liberation of Taiyuan.
Nationalist prisoners after the liberation of Taiyuan
New China was founded, but Liu Taibao did not stop defending the new regime. In March 1955, Liu Taibao returned to Wenxi's hometown. Under the surface of his own peasants, he has a more mysterious identity. Jinnan Special District Public Security Department Wenxi Public Security Bureau political security staff. At that time, the political security department was called a department for defending national security, and it was necessary to have an extremely keen sense of the dynamics of the enemy's situation and to keep abreast of the movements of the former Kuomintang "military, police, and special personnel." The work tasks of this department are special, and the tradition handed down from the central special section period has been used, and the parents are not told, and the wives and children are not told. In the great construction of new China, Liu Taibao hid himself, and the political security was done for a full 30 years, except for the people of the relevant departments, the outside world knew nothing about it.

What is even heavier is that because of the particularity of the work, during the war years, Liu Taibao's glorious achievements were also buried, and people only knew that he had served in Yan Xishan's army, so that he had many years of ups and downs.
In October 1979 and February 1980, after a re-examination, the government made a decision to rehabilitate Liu Taibao and his family, respectively.
Liu Taibao's old predecessor
The dust of history is thick, but there is always a wind blowing, and some of the past still exists. From November 1945 to April 1949 and from March 1956 to 1990, the elder Liu Taibao was ordered by the organization twice to engage in long-term work on the hidden front, although the environment and work tasks were different, his loyalty and selfless dedication have never changed, and it can be said that he is the epitome of countless grassroots first-line "unsung heroes".
On the ninth day of the third month of the lunar calendar in 2007, this day is the birthday of the old man who is 89 years old, but the old man is also on this day, forever closing his eyes, and a heart with steel loyalty has stopped beating.
