Feng Chen's worries were verified a few months later. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In fact, the stronghold of the Soviet Far East Intelligence Bureau, the Varsha Western Restaurant, had already been targeted by Wang Xinheng and Shen Zui of the Fuxing Society, but because he had not caught any evidence, Wang Xinheng had not yet made a move.
It turned out that after Colonel Lawrence went to Shanghai to take over Sorge's work, the Kuomintang army was concentrating all its efforts on "encircling and suppressing" the Red Army in the Soviet area, and the focus of the intelligence work of the Soviet Far East Intelligence Bureau in China was also shifted to collecting relevant intelligence to assist the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army in smashing the enemy's encirclement and suppression.
After some hard work, Lawrence finally opened up a new situation in intelligence work.
The intelligence network of the Far East Intelligence Bureau spread all over the major cities centered on the Shanghai Sea, and even infiltrated Chiang Kai-shek's Wuhan Camp, the North Parallel Battalion, the Nanjing Garrison Command, and other key departments.
Due to the rapid development of intelligence work, Lawrence was not so cautious about the personnel who joined the Far East Intelligence Bureau in the examination and use arrangements, and the intelligence personnel who joined later were mixed and good and bad, and finally brought a catastrophe to the entire Far East intelligence organization from the traffic officer Lu Hai Defense!
The Varsha West Restaurant was the heart of the Far Eastern Intelligence Bureau, and the Army and Haiphong served as an important traffic officer for Lawrence, liaising with other intelligence networks.
This position is very important, but Lu Haiphong has not undergone systematic agent training, and people are a bit glampy.
This Lu Haiphong is a native of Yueyang, Hunan, a student of Beiping Normal School, during the Northern Expedition, he participated in the revolution in Wuhan, and served in the Political Department of the 11th Army of the National Revolutionary Army.
In May 1930, by chance, Lu Haiphong met Yu Sheng, a colleague of the Political Department of the Eleventh Army of the former National Revolutionary Army, in Shanghai.
At this time, Yu Sheng was already a major member of the Ramza intelligence group under the leadership of Sorge, and Yu Sheng knew that Lu Haiphong was proficient in English and his thinking was more inclined to revolution, so he recruited Lu Haiphong to join Sorge's intelligence organization.
The main task of Lu Haiphong is to translate into English the valuable materials that are published in Chinese newspapers every day.
Before Sorge was transferred out of Shanghai, according to the principle of secret work, it was strictly required that Lu Haiphong could only have one-way contact with Yu Sheng, but later Sorge was transferred away, and Yu Sheng was also transferred out of Shanghai soon after.
Before Yu Sheng left, he transferred part of the intelligence relationship he was responsible for to Lu Hai Defense, so that Lu Hai Defense directly accepted the leadership of Lawrence.
In the intelligence relationship that Yu Sheng handed over to Lu Haifeng, there was an extremely important figure, his name was Liu Simu.
Liu Simu, a native of Xinhui, Guangdong, graduated from Lingnan University, joined the Kuomintang in his early years, served as the secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Department, and was later introduced by Borodin to study at Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow, and left the Kuomintang after returning from the Soviet Union in 1927.
In 1933, after Liu Simu returned to Europe from his stay in Europe, he participated in the Far East Intelligence Bureau in Shanghai, and in 1934, he entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Kuomintang in Nanjing, and at the end of 1934, he was close to Chiang Kai-shek's side and served as Chiang Kai-shek's "Wuhan Xingying" colonel and law commissioner.
At this time, it was a critical period of the "Fifth Anti-Encirclement and Suppression" of the Central Red Army.
When he was in the Ministry of the Interior, Liu Simu often took Chiang Kai-shek's encirclement and suppression plan and military maps home, photographed them one by one, each shot twice, and then washed them and passed them on to Lawrence of the Far Eastern Intelligence Bureau through the traffic officer.
After Liu Simu took up his post in Chiang Kai-shek's Wuhan camp, he concentrated his efforts on collecting information on the deployment of the Red Army's troops in Chiang Kai-shek's pursuit of the Long March, and transmitted the information to Lawrence in Shanghai through the Wuhan traffic officer.
This traffic officer is the famous Cui Guohan.
Cui Guohan, a native of Shagang, Jiangling, Hubei, entered the Hubei Law College in 1913, returned to his hometown in 1920, served as the secretary of the county autonomy preparatory office, joined the party organization in June 1927, and lost contact with the party organization in July.
In November 1927, Cui Guohan was invited by Zhang Zhiben to serve as the secretary of the Hubei Provincial Government.
In 1931, Cui Guohan went to Shanghai and met Hu Egong, a fellow villager from Hubei, who was already a secret member of Sorge's Far East Intelligence Bureau.
Hu Egong was a member of the Old League, a loyal follower of Mr. Zhongshan, who participated in the Wuchang Uprising, participated in the important military and political command affairs of the revolutionary army, and contributed his efforts and talents to the Xinhai Revolution.
Under the introduction of Hu Egong, Cui Guohan joined the Far East Intelligence Bureau and became an underground traffic officer, mainly as a liaison between Yu Sheng and Liu Simu.
In 1933, Hu Egong was arrested, and because Hu Egong was a member of the old League and his social relations were not ordinary, all parties immediately launched a rescue, and soon after, he was released and transferred to Beiping.
Although Hu Egong's arrest did not cause problems due to his punishment, it still inevitably caused the exposure of part of the intelligence network of the Far East Intelligence Bureau, and Cui Guohan was worried that he would be affected, so his family moved back to Shashi, Hubei Province, for refuge.
After Cui Guohan left, his work as a traffic officer was handed over to his eldest son-in-law, Guan Zhaonan.
It was also at this time that Lawrence came to Shanghai to take over Sorge's work, and Guan Zhaonan officially became Lawrence's traffic officer, responsible for liaising with Liu Simu in Wuhan.
……
In early 1935, Chiang Kai-shek imprisoned Hu Yimin, Yang Hucheng's representative in Wuhan.
Mao Renfeng, the captain of the colonel's action team at the Hubei Station of the Fuxing Society, accepted Dai Li's secret instructions to collect evidence of Hu Yimin's collusion against Chiang in Wuhan.
One day in early April 1935, Mao Renfeng took his subordinates Chen Guoqiang and Huang Fumin to the Wuchang Telegraph Office to find Hu Yimin's telegrams and find clues from them.
When Chen Guoqiang was looking through the telegram, he took an unrelated copy of the telegram.
The three of them returned to the Hubei Station of the Fuxing Society, Mao Renfeng looked at the copy of the irrelevant telegram he brought back, and casually threw it to Chen Guoqiang and said: "Guoqiang, this telegram has nothing to do with Hu Yimin, you can burn it." ”
"Okay." Chen Guoqiang promised to take the copy of the telegram and prepare to burn it.
"Let me come." Huang Fumin next to him said.
Chen Guoqiang handed a copy of the telegram to Huang Fumin, who inadvertently skimmed the content of the telegram, which was a poem:
Seven treasures fly full,
The sun and the moon do not shine together,
Nine Qu Horizontal Passing Water,
Bit by bit invades the cold dream,
Xiaoshan Qiu Guifu,
Secluded southeast,
The door is strict and quiet,
See people cut lungs and livers.
Huang Guoqiang was wondering, who sent the telegram, why did he send a poem, thinking about it, he took out a match and wiped it, and when he was about to light it, he looked at the copy of the telegram vertically, and suddenly saw that Huang Fumin saw the following sentence: "See you at the small east gate at nine o'clock on the seventh day." ”
"That's not right! Chief Mao, this telegram is a hidden poem! Huang Fumin blew out the copy of the telegram that had been lit and reported loudly.
"What?! Let me see! ”
Mao Renfeng, who was looking through copies of other telegrams, immediately dropped the telegram in his hand and came to Huang Fumin's side.
"Chief, you look at the first word of each line." Huang Fumin pointed to the contents of the telegram and said.
"I'll see you at the small east gate at nine o'clock on the seventh day."
Mao Renfeng slowly read out loud.
"This is a telegram of the time and place of the connection, tomorrow is the 7th, and we will immediately monitor the area around the small east gate." Mao Renfeng immediately commanded.
Just after eight o'clock in the morning the next day, Mao Renfeng took more than a dozen plainclothes people to the area of Xiaodongmen in Wuchang in advance to ambush and secretly monitor to see who came here to connect.
When it was almost nine o'clock, a young man looking around appeared in Mao Renfeng's field of vision, as if he was waiting for someone.
"Chief, I think this young man seems to be here to connect, what should I do?" Huang Fumin, who was beside Mao Renfeng, asked.
"Tell everyone, don't move yet, keep an eye on me, and we'll do it when another connector comes." Mao Renfeng commanded in a low voice.
In this way, more than a dozen spies brought by Mao Renfeng have been monitoring the young man around, not acting rashly, waiting for the person who came to connect.
The young man, standing by a plane tree, waited for a while, looked around and saw no one coming, and seemed a little anxious.
"Unit chief, it's almost ten o'clock, it seems that the person who connected with him won't come, if he doesn't act, this guy will slip away in a while." Chen Guoqiang came to Mao Renfeng and suggested.
"Okay, you go with Fumin, bring that person back, interrogate him first, and see who he is connected with." Mao Renfeng nodded and agreed.
Chen Guoqiang and Huang Fumin, one left and one right, slowly approached the young man, stepped forward to grab his arm, and escorted him to a car parked not far away.
