Chapter 580: Agent War
readx; Jin Xiongbai once said: "Li Shiqun, this guy, is quite rude and simple in dealing with the low-grade agent assassination battle on the street. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info""Their way of fighting back is one to one. If you kill me as a journalist, I will give you back a journalistic figure. If you kill me in the financial world, I will also pay you back in the financial community. The most tragic time, of course, was the collective shooting and collective kidnapping of the Jiangsu Farmers' Bank and the Bank of China, and as a result of the bloodbath, the Bank of China succumbed, and No. 76 sent Li Zulai in as a deputy manager in exchange for stopping the retaliation. ”
In fact, one of the greatest achievements achieved by Agent No. 76 under the auspices of Li Shiqun was the successful dismantling of the intelligence command center of the "Shanghai Unification Committee" personally led by Chiang Kai-shek mentioned above.
The leading bigwigs of the "Shanghai Reunification Committee" have a very big background. He was Zhu Jiahua, then head of the Organization Department of the Kuomintang, secretary general of the Central Party Department, and director of the Central Bureau of Unification.
Zhu Jiahua, the word Liuxian, Xianglin, is a native of Huzhou, Zhejiang. When he was a teenager, he became acquainted with revolutionaries Zhang Jingjiang and Zhou Bonian, and later was trained by patriotic literati Shen Shiyuan, Shen Yinmo and Cao Lijin. When Zhu Jiahua was 17 years old, he joined Sun Yat-sen's China League and participated in the great feat of saving the country and the people in the Xinhai Revolution. In 1912, he was introduced to the Kuomintang by Zhou Bonian and Chu Minyi. In 1914, he went to Germany with Zhang Renjie to study at his own expense. After returning to China in 1917, he became the youngest professor of Peking University presided over by Cai Yuanpei. In August 1918, 7 professors, Zhu Jiahua, Liu Bannong, Chen Daqi, Zhou Zuoren, Liu Fu, Deng Cuiying, and Yang Yinyu, were awarded the Beiyang Political Axe Public Scholarship to study in Europe and the United States, which was the first attempt for Chinese professors to study abroad. In 1919, Zhu Jiahua participated in the May Fourth Movement as a scholar of the "European and American Returned Scholars Association". After receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Berlin, Zhu returned to Peking University as a professor in the Department of Geology and head of the German Department. On November 28, 1924, Zhu Jiahua and Gu Mengyu organized a national revolutionary demonstration movement with workers and students as the main body, which was the famous "capital revolution".
In 1926, after being introduced by Zhang Jingjiang and Dai Jitao, he joined the Northern Expedition of the Guangdong Revolutionary Political Axe. During this period, Zhu Jiahua and Dai Jitao made every effort to establish the National Sun Yat-sen University, which later became an international university. Dai Jitao has said in public several times that "in the current Republic of China, there is only one and a half talents". Half is Yi Peiji, and the other is Zhu Jiahua. After 1928, he successively served as the director of the Zhejiang Civil Affairs Department, the president of Sun Yat-sen University, the minister of education, the minister of communications, the chairman of the Zhejiang Provincial Political Axe, the director of the Counselor's Office of the Military Commission, the secretary general of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang, the secretary general of the Kuomintang Youth League, the acting president of the National Academia Sinica, and the director of the Organization Department of the Kuomintang. For Chiang Kai-shek, he relied on the temporary "wind and rain lonely boat, string recitation" of the humerus cadres.
Some people say that during the underground fighting in Ningyu during the Anti-Japanese War, it was often Dai Li's "military command" system that stole the limelight. As everyone knows, Zhu Jiahua is in the many factions of the Kuomintang, even within the CC system with deep roots, Zhu Jiahua is still a Qingjie force outside the high-ranking and powerful Chen Lifu and Chen Guofu brothers.
Every time Chiang Kai-shek was in public, he had to affectionately call him "Gong Liu" to show his respect. Based on Zhu Jiahua's qualifications and background in the Kuomintang back then, he was prominent in Dai Li. Therefore, when Chiang Kai-shek promoted the establishment of such a huge secret service coordination unit as the "Shanghai Unification Committee", he strongly invited Zhu Jiahua to come forward and serve as the leading actor of this organization. As for the composition of the other committee members, Chiang Kai-shek, after Zhu Jiahua, set the order of the other special committees of the "Shanghai Reunification Committee" in turn: Dai Li in Yucheng and Du Yuesheng in Hong Kong. The other three were front-line chief executives who needed to sneak into Shanghai to get close to the command: Wu Kaixian, deputy director of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, Jiang Bocheng, a veteran former chairman of the Military Commission, and Wu Shaoshu, chairman of the Shanghai Municipal Party Department of the Kuomintang, who was a little less qualified among the six. Chiang Kai-shek's original idea was to use such an organization as the "Shanghai Unification Committee" to integrate the two enemies of the "Central Unification" and the "Military Unification" as well as some other agents of the Yucheng political axe stationed in Nanjing. A clenched fist is better than a split five fingers, right?
As for Li Shiqun's secret agent career, it probably started in the early days of the Special Operations Section.
At that time, he received intelligence training in the "Cheka" of the Soviet Union together with Chen Geng, Gu Shunzhang and others.
Li Shiqun is familiar with all the work procedures of the spy personnel of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. This is a favorable condition for Li Shiqun to take the lead when he starts a secret war with the major secret agent factions in Yucheng. At the same time, Li Shiqun has a kind of killing atmosphere of a demon king in troubled times, and he is not greedy for small wealth and small profits. In the operation, whenever there was any gain, they were willing to put the stolen money on the table, and divided the gold and silver in a big way. In this way, it is quite the death force of the front-line agents in No. 76 who are eager to kill.
Li Shiqun's employment still has his own set of means. He doesn't ask where he comes from, and he is also very good at accepting surrenders, no matter whether there were public and private grievances with him Li Shiqun in the past, as long as he dares to fight and kill, and has his own unique ability to survive on the rivers and lakes, Li Shiqun will immediately reuse it. Like the backbone of the No. 76 Action Brigade at that time, Lin Zhijiang, Wang Tianmu, Chen Gongshu, Wan Lilang and others came from the military command. Hu Junhe came from [***] Teke, to the "Central Union", until he defected to himself, and he was probably with Li Shiqun. As for the other eagle dogs, such as Xiao Jiaju, Luo Mengqian, Chen Mingchu, Wang Zhongqi, Li Jishi, Su Chengde, He Baichun, Fu Shenglan, Zhang Beisheng, and so on, all of them came from the two major systems of the Kuomintang, "Central Unification" and "Military Unification."
Li Shiqun is definitely a demon king of the mixed world who has risen in troubled times.
However, a demon king like Li Shiqun who has brains, means and ruthlessness is especially terrifying to his opponent.
Later, in the bloody melee between the Yucheng agents and Li Shiqun, the losses of the "Central Union" were particularly heavy.
At that time, Su Chengde and Hu Junhe, two cadres from the "Central Union", adopted the method of detecting and penetrating the melons, grasped one point, and held on tightly, and the agents of the Central Unification were invited into the No. 76 secret service headquarters by Su and Hu one by one without any ability to resist. After this brutal battle, the grassroots organizations of the "Central Unification" in Nanjing and Shanghai were never able to fully recover their vitality. The "Central Unification" was forced to adopt a defensive position of holding its breath and concentrating in the Jiangsu and Shanghai areas.
And Wu Kaixian, one of the leaders of the "Shanghai Unification Committee" who shouldered the heavy responsibility of Chiang Kai-shek, was a Shanghai expert.
After Wu Kaixian, Jiang Bocheng, and Wu Shaoshu barely gained a foothold in Shanghai, they found that the situation in Shanghai was much more serious than they had previously estimated. Some of the intelligence agencies lurking at the grassroots level in Nanjing and Shanghai in Yucheng were basically broken up by the spy organizations under the guidance of Li Shiqun and Qingqi Qingyin. "Erwu and Yijiang" can only try to restore the espionage system bit by bit.
If we want to count the achievements of the "Shanghai Reunification Committee" behind enemy lines, then rescuing Yu Qiaqing can be regarded as its first contribution. At that time, Yu Qiaqing, the leading figure in Shanghai, was in a rather embarrassing situation under the oppression of Wang Jingwei. If Yu Qiaqing is overwhelmed by the pressure and defects to the enemy, the bad impact may be worse than Zhou Zuoren's public overboard. The "Reunification Committee" smuggled Yu Qiaqing to Hong Kong and then to Chongqing. This frustrated the Wang puppet regime's plan to use Yu Qiaqing to stabilize Shanghai's economy. In addition, there is also a prominent figure in Shanghai, Huang Jinrong, under the persuasion of the "Unification Committee", during the entire Anti-Japanese War, although he had some entertainment with himself, he was never dragged into the filth by himself.
In view of this, some people later said that Wu Kaixian was just a turtle with a shrunken head during the period when he was lurking in Shanghai. Therefore, when Wu Kaixian recalled this past, he always told others with a little indignation: "In the end of the rebellious world, none of the more well-known people in the banking industry in Shanghai dared to participate in the enemy's financial organizers in the face of the world's condemnation. At this stage, the focus of the work of "two Wu and one Jiang" is probably on the areas of industry and commerce, journalism, and education. As for military operations, although the "Second Wu and One Chiang" had the responsibility of commanding in honor, most of the time, the heavy warriors of the "Central Unification" and the "Military Unification" were probably not willing to stupidly run to accept the instructions of the "Second Wu and One Chiang" after accepting the task of the Yucheng headquarters. As long as a suitable fighter appears, they will draw their pistols and shoot, and if they miss, they will leave. Therefore, the coordinated command of the military has always been an empty word.
However, the matter of Yucheng's dispatch of the latent officers into Shanghai was still smelled by Li Shiqun's No. 76.
According to the work of the underground agents, Wu Kaixian was hiding in a quiet Shikumen building behind Menini Road in the French Concession.
Later, Wu Kaixian recalled that in the Shikumen building, there seemed to be a large carved water tank made of bluestone, which was engraved with some symmetrical patterns full of Shanghai-style ingenuity.
The rooms in those buildings are small, and the windows are small.
Du Liyun starred in Peking Opera as Farewell Concubine, as Jiang Bocheng's wife, she was arrested with Jiang Bocheng Wu Kaixian usually lived in a simple house, except for a few of the most reliable liaisons, no one knew his whereabouts.
At that time, what impressed Wu Kaixian the most was the slanting ray of sunlight that entered the room from that small window.
Such a special atmosphere, such a lonely atmosphere, unforgettable. However, Wu Kaixian has never been careful. At that time, one of the laborers used by Wu Kaixian was still his old worker from the time when he was engaged in the party affairs of the labor movement in Shanghai. The most obvious external feature of this person is a large "leprosy head" on the top of his head. The joint investigation team composed of Li Shiqun No. 76 and Qingqi Qingyin and the gendarmerie soon discovered this important clue. Wu Kaixian finally succeeded in one fell swoop.
This incident has therefore become a sensational major event in the Ningyu agent war.
Jiang Bocheng's arrest was relatively simple.
After Gao Tao's escape, Du Yuesheng's housekeeper Wan Molin and his wife, who stayed in Shanghai, were already under the covert surveillance of the Pétain Road gendarmerie. When Jiang Bocheng took over the hot potato that Chiang Kai-shek wanted him to lurk, he was already an old and sick body, and he had no energy to run around outside. Therefore, Jiang Bocheng hid in Wan Molin's new residence on Pushi Road, the interface of the French lease, as a place to stay. For this Jiang Bocheng, Li Shiqun and Qingqi Qingyin didn't take much effort, and they firmly controlled him. When it was time to close the net, Jiang Bocheng and Wu Kaixian were arrested together by the way. At that time, Jiang Bocheng fell into the hands of Qingqi Qingyin and Li Shiqun at the same time, including Jiang Bocheng's wife Du Liyun, his young sons Jiang Yujun, Wan Molin and his wife, and Wang Xianqing and Mao Zipei, members of the Kuomintang Shanghai Underground Party Department.
At this point, the three bigwigs of the "Shanghai Reunification Committee" have just had a little bit of eyebrows in their work, but there are two generals, Wu Kaixian and Jiang Bocheng, who have fallen into the trap of Li Shiqun and Qingqi Qingyin together. Wu Shaoshu's hands and feet were nimble, and he ran first, hiding in a lush mountain village near Shanghai in Anhui Province to protect himself. However, Wu Shaoshu's family was still taken hostage by Li Shiqun's No. 76.
In this way, the "Shanghai Reunification Committee," on which Chiang Kai-shek pinned infinite expectations, fell into a state of stagnation after less than three rounds of confrontation under the heavy blows of Li Shiqun and Qingqi Qingyin's combined punches.
At this point, in the vast occupied areas of Nanjing and Shanghai, and the many intelligence and management units in Chongqing, when it comes to the grassroots level, only Dai Li's "military commander" is still fighting bloody and bitter.
At this time, Tang Shengming appeared at the right time!
At the beginning, the infiltration work of the Wang puppet regime in Yucheng was really a multi-departmental and multi-directional excavation of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea! A high-ranking officer like Tang Shengming was only one of the many gambling cards issued by Chiang Kai-shek. In the first year or two, as long as Tang Shengming was able to gain a firm foothold in Wang's puppet regime and won the trust of Zhou Fohai and Li Shiqun, the real power elements in this regime, this was a great victory in itself.
In addition, Tang Shengming's mission should be proactive in operation and completion.
At the beginning of Tang Shengming's infiltration into Wang's puppet regime, although he was appointed as a member of the Military Commission and a senior staff member of the Lieutenant General, he had no suitable substantive post to do for a period of time.
At that stage, Tang Shengming and his wife went to Zhou Fohai's home and ran very diligently. Xu Lai gave full play to his sociable characteristics, and gathered together sweetly with Wang Jingwei's wife Chen Bijun, Zhou Fohai's wife Yang Shuhui, Chen Gongbo's mistress Mo Guokang, Chu Minyi's wife Chen Shunzhen, and Li Shiqun's wife Ye Jiqing all day long. Xu Lai is very knowledgeable, the mahjong table is always more than lose, win less, and often give some jewelry, precious fabrics and other elegant gifts that women like to this class lady. At the dinner outside, most of them were rushed to pay for Xu Lai. When Yang Shuhui and Ye Jiqing returned home, they would make noise to their husbands: "We see that Tang Shengming is definitely a clever person who can help, and now if he doesn't come over as soon as possible, he will be dragged by others to carry the banner in the back, I am afraid that I will regret it." ”
Zhou Fohai, Tang Shengming, and Li Shiqun For a period of time, as long as there were private alliances such as Hualiu Yannick, they all liked to mix together, and the relationship between the three of them was very close. Zhou Fohai felt that what his woman Yang Shuhui said was not unreasonable. Zhou Fohai asked Tang Shengming to give Li Shiqun ideas as a member of the Military Committee, which was equivalent to Li Shiqun's military adviser. Tang Shengming thus obtained the right to come and go freely at No. 76.
Although Tang Shengming's military rank is high, he does not have a little arrogance. Wine color and wealth, everything can be used. The group of butchers under Li Shiqun thought that Tang Shengming was fun, and there was no separation between them. Taking advantage of such an opportunity, sometimes, during the front-line military operation of No. 76, Tang Shengming would leak the news to the latent organization in Yucheng.
At the beginning of 1940, Li Shiqun carried out a very precise attack on the Jiangsu station of the "Central Union".
That night, Ma Yuanfang, director of the provincial party department of the Kuomintang and Zhang Beisheng, magistrate of Jiading County, who belonged to the CC department, held a meeting in the hotel with six cadres including Ge Yuqi and Jiang Bingzhong on the pretext of gambling cards.
Li Shiqun personally led more than a dozen people from Wang Tianmu, Wan Lilang and other action brigades, and suddenly broke into the door, and all six of them were arrested.
At that time, Zhou Fohai instructed the three major newspapers and periodicals under his wing, "Ping Pao", "New China Daily", and "National News", to make a big noise about the investigation of this case.
This case has also reached the point where women and children are well known in Shanghai and Nanjing.
After that, the six people involved in the case, except for Ma Yuanfang and Zhang Beisheng, who were seriously injured when they resisted arrest, the other four all issued statements of repentance and rehabilitation in major newspapers and periodicals such as Wang's puppet "Zhonghua Yuebao".
This case was not a big deal in the first place. However, Agent Yuben spread propaganda through the underground organization that infiltrated Yucheng.
At that time, Chiang Kai-shek was considering a comprehensive plan for the Chinese intelligence agencies to work together with the Anglo-American intelligence agencies.
The proposed object of cooperation of the "Central Union" is the British naval intelligence unit. The plan for cooperation between the "military command" and the US Naval Intelligence Agency is even more ambitious. The cooperation between the "military command" and the US Navy later directly led to the famous "Sino-US Special Technical Cooperation Institute" in the history of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
The main mastermind of the cooperation between the US side and the Yucheng intelligence department was Milton of the US Naval Intelligence Agency. Colonel Melles. One day, the curious Colonel Melles took the leaflets he had picked up and ran to ask Chiang Kai-shek. This embarrassed Chiang Kai-shek's face.
Chiang Kai-shek was very angry and immediately called Xu Enzeng, the actual person in charge of the Central Union, and asked him to quickly write an investigation report. At that time, Xu En's grassroots latent organization in the Shanghai-Nanjing area was almost paralyzed
Xu Enzeng had no choice but to be shy and ask Dai Li's help. Dai Li heard that it was the work that the old man had confessed, but he didn't dare to slack off.
Dai Li hurriedly ordered Tao Yishan, a classmate of the sixth phase of Huangpu, a fellow villager in Jiangsu, and a powerful general in the Fuxing Society, to quickly sneak into Shanghai and find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible with the second station of the military command stationed in Shanghai. (Tao Yishan's grandson is Taiwanese singer Tao Zhe.) Tao Yishan quietly wandered around Shanghai and Nanjing for more than ten days, without a single clue.
Later, Xu Lai touched mahjong with Yang Shuhui, Mo Guokang, Chen Shunzhen and others a few times, and everything came to light.
When touching mahjong and chatting, Xu Lai deliberately pulled the topic to the sensational Ma Yuanfang and Zhang Beisheng spy cases in the newspapers, and Yang Shuhui was quite unimpressed with this topic. She said: "What the hell is undercover, it's not their own person, that eye-eyelid Zhang Beisheng." The plague pig surnamed Zhang was sleeping in a notebook on Guangdong Road a month ago, and was hit by No. 76 in the night. This Zhang Beisheng expressed his willingness to make meritorious contributions, so Li Shiqun set up such a bureau to trap Ma Yuanfang and others.
After Xu Lai went home, he immediately told Tang Shengming what he had heard. Tang Shengming managed to convey this information to Tao Yishan's ears.
As a result, the investigation report on this case soon appeared on Chiang Kai-shek's desk!
