On the morning of April 24, 1931, Gu Shunzhang, who was then an alternate member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee and the actual head of the Special Branch of the Cpc Central Committee, was captured by the Kuomintang in Hankou.
Fortunately, at that time, the top level of the Kuomintang had Qian Zhuangfei, who was working on the secret front of our party, and after deciphering the telegram of Gu Shunzhang's arrest, he immediately sent a telegram to Li Kenong to explain the situation, so as to avoid a catastrophe.
Qian Zhuangfei was born in 1896, is a native of Wuxing County, Zhejiang Province, was born in a solid family, so Qian Zhuangfei was only 6 years old when he had already entered the Yang Academy, he was very smart since he was a child, his grades in the academy were always among the best, and later he was admitted to the Zhejiang Provincial No. 3 Middle School with excellent results.
In the year when Qian Zhuangfei was admitted to middle school, his father suddenly fell ill and died, and the family's economic resources were instantly broken, in order to allow Qian Zhuangfei to continue his studies, his mother betrothed to the daughter of a cloth shop owner, and when Qian Zhuangfei just turned 18, he married the cloth shop owner's daughter under his mother's arrangement.
After marriage, with the help and support of the old man, Qian Zhuangfei was able to continue his studies, and after graduating from middle school, Qian Zhuangfei was admitted to the Beijing Medical College for further study, and it was during this period that Qian Zhuangfei met a rich lady, Zhang Zhenhua, and Zhang Zhenhua had a younger brother who joined the Communist Party, and it was under the influence of this younger brother that Qian Zhuangfei and Zhang Zhenhua joined the Communist Party successively.
After joining the Communist Party, Qian Zhuangfei relied on his superb acting skills and the doctor's profession suitable for fighting on the hidden front, and began to become an excellent hidden fighter of our party, and he always had a medical purse under his arm at that time, and what was in the bag was the secret documents of our party, and he relied on this method to convey information.
In the very beginning, Qian Zhuangfei did rely on his superb acting skills and the special status of a doctor to blind the eyes of the enemy, but with the passage of time, it was inevitable that some clues were left, so after Chiang Kai-shek launched the April 12 coup in 1927, Qian Zhuangfei was listed as a suspicious figure.
After being listed as a suspicious person, Qian Zhuangfei could only take his family to go from place to place, and later under the arrangement of the party organization, Qian Zhuangfei was able to get out, but soon after he got out, Qian Zhuangfei planned to continue to contribute to the revolutionary cause of our party.
Qian Zhuangfei originally had experience in fighting on hidden fronts, and he was very good at camouflage, so after entering the Telecommunications Management Office, Qian Zhuangfei quickly mastered radio transceiver technology, which provided convenience for Qian Zhuangfei to collect intelligence and send intelligence in the later period.
Not only that, Qian Zhuangfei relied on his own wisdom and talent, and gradually won the appreciation and trust of Xu Enzeng, when Xu Enzeng was planning to cultivate his own cronies, just when Qian Zhuangfei was very smart, always able to handle the things that Xu En had arranged for himself, including finding a house for Xu Enzeng's mistress to live in, things such as Qian Zhuangfei helped to do, which made Xu Enzeng quickly trust Qian Zhuangfei, and many important things began to be handed over to Qian Zhuangfei to do.
In 1929, Xu En was promoted to the director of the Construction Department of the Zhejiang Provincial Government, when he took office, he specially brought Qian Zhuangfei with him, during his tenure as the director of the Zhejiang Provincial Construction Department, Qian Zhuangfei helped Xu En to do a lot of things, such as Xu En's many corruption and bribery, all of which were handled by Qian Zhuangfei.
Of course, Xu En did not know that Qian Zhuangfei was an agent installed by our party around him, plus Qian Zhuangfei was very reliable in his work, so Xu En had trusted Qian Zhuangfei more and more, and basically reached the point where he had nothing to hide, and when he was promoted to the head of the investigation section, he also asked Qian Zhuangfei whether he wanted to go with him.
Qian Zhuangfei immediately asked for instructions from the organization, and when Zhou Enlai learned of this, he thought that this was a golden opportunity, because the Investigation Section was actually an institution used by the Kuomintang to deal with the underground organization of our party, and if Qian Zhuangfei could follow Xu Enzeng into it, it would be a great guarantee for the future development of our party.
Under the instructions of Zhou Enlai, Qian Zhuangfei followed Xu Enzeng to work in the Kuomintang Investigation Section, and it was during the period during the investigation section that Qian Zhuangfei grasped a lot of important information within the Kuomintang, and even the codebook used in the briefing between Chiang Kai-shek and high-ranking officials was also trusted by Xu Enzeng under Qian Zhuangfei's efforts.
After having this codebook, Many kuomintang high-level briefings were able to be deciphered smoothly by Qian Zhuangfei, which laid the groundwork for a major incident that occurred later, and if these codes were not mastered, or if there were no red agents like Qian Zhuangfei, the consequences would be unimaginable.
On the morning of April 24, 1931, Gu Shunzhang, alternate member of the Politburo of the Central Committee and the actual head of the Special Branch of the Central Committee, was captured by the Kuomintang in Hankou, and after his arrest, Gu Shunzhang chose to defect at the first time.
In terms of the level of detail of the underground party information that Gu Shunzhang possessed, Gu Shunzhang's defection at that time was basically devastating to our party, because he not only had a list of underground party members, but also their addresses, and even the list of our party agents in the Kuomintang, Gu Shunzhang was also very clear, so before Cai Mengjian wanted to send a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek, he specifically reminded him that chiang kai-shek had undercover agents around him and not to easily send telegrams.
Judging from Gu Shunzhang's understanding of our party and his actions at that time to give advice to the Kuomintang, once this plan succeeds, Shanghai will be in a bloody storm in a few days, and the situation of the members of the Shanghai underground party will be worrying. Fortunately, at such a critical moment, Cai Mengjian still could not resist the restlessness in his heart and the urgent mood of asking for credit, so he sent a telegram to Chen Lifu and Xu Enzeng and others, saying that Gu Shunzhang had been arrested and that he was willing to help the Kuomintang capture the Shanghai underground party.
This telegram to Xu Enzeng was quickly deciphered by Qian Zhuangfei, who profoundly understood the seriousness of the problem, did not stop for a moment, and immediately sent a telegram to Li Kenong, telling him about Gu Shunzhang's rebellion, and asking Li Kenong to immediately contact Zhou Enlai to inform everyone of the transfer.
Li Kenong quickly contacted Chen Geng again, and Chen Geng told Zhou Enlai the news, and Zhou Enlai was very shocked and quickly contacted Chen Yun, who was far away in Jiangsu; with the help of Chen Yun, they all commanded the Shanghai CPC Central Committee, the Jiangsu Provincial CPC Committee, and other party and government organ personnel to be quickly transferred.
At that time, these people were the key members who later founded the republic, including Zhou Enlai, Deng Yingchao, Chen Geng, Bogu, Wang Ming, Deng Xiaoping, Qu Qiubai, Nie Rongzhen, Ye Jianying, Li Weihan, Chen Yun, and others. The history of the CCP will be rewritten."
In order to send this key telegram to Li Kenong, Qian Zhuangfei had no choice but to take the risk, and he himself understood that as long as the telegram was sent, he would be exposed, so after sending the telegram, Qian Zhuangfei left a letter to Xu Enzeng, the general content of which was to threaten Xu Enzeng not to hurt his family, otherwise he would expose all the ugly things about Xu Enzeng.
After Xu En saw this letter, he broke out in a cold sweat, how could he not have imagined that Qian Zhuangfei, whom he trusted most, was actually an undercover agent of the CCP, but at this point, Xu Enzeng could only admit his fate, Qian Zhuangfei had escaped, he still needed to pretend to play a drama, he arrested Qian Zhuangfei's family back, but after all, he did not dare to move them, and after the wind passed, Xu En had released Qian Zhuangfei's family, and later under the arrangement of our party, Qian Zhuangfei's family was properly resettled.
On April 27, when Cai Mengjian led people to arrest underground party members in Shanghai, they found that the house was empty, only some documents were still burning, and it was estimated that the people had just left, and they were angry, but there was nothing they could do.
Under the arrangements of the central authorities, Qian Zhuangfei became deputy director of the Intelligence Bureau and helped the central authorities train intelligence personnel.
In 1935, after the Red Army crossed the Wujiang River on the Long March, Qian Zhuangfei disappeared because he was left behind to avoid air raids, and was later kidnapped by local bandits, they looked at Qian Zhuangfei dressed like a high-ranking cadre, planning to extort a huge sum of money, but at that time the Red Army was far away, Qian Zhuangfei could not contact, he could only contact his wife who was far away in Shanghai, shanghai was a national unification area at that time, and his wife could not come, and finally Qian Zhuangfei was sacrificed in Houshan Township, Jinshajiang County, Guizhou Province, at the age of 39!
