During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the situation was turbulent, wolf smoke was everywhere, and forces from all sides fought openly and secretly, and the flames were raging. The "special high school" of the Japanese army, the "military command" of the Kuomintang, the "seventy-sixth" of the Wang puppet regime, and the "central special section" of our party were the most mysterious organizations of that era, some of which made people feel frightened, some of which made people fearful, and some of which affected the course of China's modern history. But everyone is not unfamiliar with these names, a large number of film and television dramas interpret their stories, "The Pretender", "Latent", "Color Ring", "Dark Calculation", "Sting"... They are responsible for surveillance, intelligence, interrogation, rebellion, abduction, assassination and a series of tasks, the ins and outs of the four major spy organizations? Dragon fights between various forces? And the legendary past that happened here? In the next series of articles, we will introduce them one by one.
Starting with the Special High School, the Special High School is a Japanese spy organization, established in the late 19th century and early 20th century, the full name of the Special High Police Division, nominally under the police station, subordinate to the Japanese Ministry of internal affairs, in fact, the infamous Kenji Doihara is his head.
Kenji Toihara secretly organized a vast network of traitors in northeast China using special high schools, using brothels in Shenyang and Harbin as base camps to collect intelligence and also to engage in opium trafficking. Doihara used the opening of opium smoke houses as a means to infect his Chinese and White Russian intelligence officers with a major addiction to tobacco, in order to control them. Kenji Doihara, with the assistance of the Special High School, planned the establishment of the pseudo-"Manchukuo" and the "North China Autonomy Movement".
The special high school has trained a large number of spy killers, the famous female spy Kawashima Yoshiko, who created the sensational Huanggutun Incident and also assisted Puyi in establishing a puppet regime. There is also the spy Nanzaku Yunzi, known as the "Flower of Empire", who participated in the formation of No. 76 in Shanghai, and the prototype of Yoko Nanda in "The Pretender" may be her.
The experience of the special high school in planning the assassination of He Yingqin in that year was even more bizarre.
He Yingqin had successively served as minister of military affairs of the Nationalist Government, a first-class general of the Republic of China Army, commander-in-chief of the Fourth Theater, commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army in the Chinese Theater. It was he Yingqin, who was almost assassinated by the Japanese side, who on behalf of the Chinese government, accepted the surrender letter signed by Okamura Ningji, commander-in-chief of the Japanese army invading China, on behalf of the Chinese government, kobayashi Asaburo, the chief of the general staff of the Japanese army invading China.
In 1935, in order to expand the invasion of China, the Japanese army decided to stimulate the Kuomintang Defenders in North China to resist, and Kenji Toihara, who was in charge of this mission, ordered the special high school to assassinate He Yingqin, and the special high school carefully selected two senior Japanese spies, Jiro Shimizu and Kyosuke Sakai. Jiro Shimizu is a descendant of the ninjutsu school, after special training, high martial arts, Sakai Kyosuke gunmanship, good at making explosives, both speak fluent Chinese, under the cover of the Japanese side, the two assassination team disguised as Chinese merchants, sneaked into Peiping.
Due to the sensitive situation, the special high group demanded that regardless of whether the assassination was successful or not, the two must not reveal the identity of the Japanese special high group they were appointed. But unexpectedly, before the long-planned operation had begun, an embarrassing oolong incident occurred. As soon as the two arrived at the train station, they were targeted by the Japanese patrol, suspecting that the two were suspicious in appearance, and interrogated the two. Since the special high school had a secret order first, the patrol tortured them to the fullest, and they did not confess. It was not until the impatient patrol decided to shoot the two people, the two explained the ins and outs of the matter, the patrol did not dare to be sloppy, after asking Kenji Toihara for verification, Kenji Toihara replied: "There is indeed this matter, I hope to strictly protect the two, do not leak the news." "The assassination team managed to escape from their own hands.
The two come to lurk near the Ho Mansion, and Kyosuke Sakai disguises himself as a fortune teller to secretly investigate the security of the official residence and the laws of Ho Yingqin's life. Soon, Kyosuke Sakai discovered an opportunity to take advantage of the fact that the Ho Mansion was heated with charcoal, and every half a month the husband bought charcoal from the market, so a plan for using charcoal for assassination was formulated.
Kiyomizu Jiro disguised himself as a beggar, lai in front of the Ho Mansion, begged He Mansion to take him in, was driven away by the guards, after several disturbances, he was finally rushed back to the He Mansion He Yingqin bumped into him, He Yingqin ordered him to arrange a miscellaneous errand, a few months later, Shimizu Jiro used all means to win the work of the gang room, outside the mansion Sakai Kyosuke tried to make the explosive high-energy explosives into charcoal, he and Shimizu Jiro inside the mansion should cooperate with each other, easily transport the explosives into the mansion, and at this time, He Yingqin did not know that his life was hanging in the balance.
According to Kyosuke Sakai's instructions, Kiyomizu Jiro placed the charcoal next to the gang room, deliberately placing the fake charcoal on the outermost periphery to facilitate access at any time, just when they were about to wait for the opportunity to kill He Yingqin, an accident occurred, and the gang man spilled sewage on the charcoal, and the explosive charcoal was soaked. Jiro Shimizu did not give up, he dried the dynamite charcoal, but the fake charcoal surface has appeared grease. Jiro Shimizu held the psychology of luck, and saw the needle and sent this pile of oily charcoal into He Yingqin's office, and at this time, He Yingqin was working in the office, as long as the explosive charcoal was thrown into the brazier, He Yingqin would undoubtedly die. However, He Yingqin's order should not be extinguished, and the explosive charcoal was considered a bargain by the people of he mansion, and he was worried about smoke, so he was thrown out of he mansion.
The plan, which took a month, failed, and Kenji Doihara refused to give up, and he ordered the assassination team to plan a second assassination plan. Jiro Shimizu had proposed that he shoot He Yingqin directly, but was rejected by the special high school, and the two finally decided to buy people's hearts. The special high school allocated 200,000 yuan for the assassination team, and Shimizu Jiro locked the bribe target on He Yingqin's personal aide-de-camp, Qu Congsong, because of his good gambling, could not make ends meet, And Shimizu Jiro deceived Qu Congsong out of the mansion, bribed with huge sums of money, and threatened the lives of Su Congsong's family members.
According to the plan, Qu Congsong put a special gas device into He Yingqin's office, and He Yingqin would die if he inhaled the poison gas for a few moments. Three days later, He Yingqin returned to the mansion office from Nanjing, and Qu Congsong pressed the gas device under his desk on the pretext of sending documents, and Jiro Shimizu and Kyosuke Sakai expected that the operation would be foolproof, but things once again took a turn for the better. At this time, it happened that a Japanese officer named Kato Tadayasu asked to see, he was an old classmate of He Yingqin's studies in Japan, and He Yingqin left the office to see Kato Tadayasu. Kato Tadayasu's unexpected visit actually undermined the Japanese side's long-planned assassination plan. After Kato Tadayasu left, He Yingqin returned to his office and found a bodyguard dead in the office, the assassination plan failed, Jiro Shimizu and Kyosuke Sakai escaped from Beijing overnight, and the aide-de-camp Qu Congsong was later sent to the Nanjing Military Court and sentenced to death.
