In 1975, Premier Zhou, who was seriously ill and bedridden, asked Comrade Luo Qingchang, the head of the Central Investigation Department: "Don't forget the comrades in Taiwan!"
Premier Zhou specifically mentioned two Zhang Yiwu: Two Zhang is Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Zhen, the former led the Xi'an Incident and contributed to saving the country, and the latter protected Chairman Mao in the Chongqing negotiations and cooperated with many of the work of Premier Zhou.
But Yi Wu is little known. His name is Wu Shi , a senior Kuomintang general who lives in Taiwan and is in the mainland.
General Wu Shi
On February 28, 1950, Wu Shi, the then Deputy Chief of Staff of the Ministry of National Defense of Taiwan, was rebelled by the Kuomintang special agent because of Cai Xiaoqian (the secretary of the Taiwan Provincial Working Committee of the Communist Party of China). Found the identity and arrested.
When the spy arrived at Wu Shi's house, he already knew everything and planned to commit suicide twice, but he couldn't be prevented by the spy and the care of his family.
Wu Shi turned his head, leaned down and touched his son's head with a smile, then turned his head and said to his older daughter: "Don't be afraid, Dad is gone, you study hard and take care of your younger brother." This walk is a goodbye!
The exposure of Wu Shi’s identity once again caused quite a stir among the top KMT leaders. Even Chiang Kai-shek couldn’t understand why the senior official of the Ministry of National Defense, who he pulled up with one hand, would wear a pair of trousers with the Communist Party.
In fact, even Wu Shi’s wife and children don’t understand why her husband (father) wants to do this. He has a high power and a good name, but Wu Shi still wants to risk his head and sell his life for the mainland?
Actually,This is because they don't understand what true faith is, and people who don't know the world, they have a sense of righteousness and sincerity in their hearts.
Just like the lyric poem written by Wu Shi in prison before his execution: "The will of heaven is vast and unobservable, and the long-term life is even harder to know. Life is only loyal and good, so it is too sad to end in this way. Fifty-seven years In my dream, the reputation and ambitions are empty. With a stubborn heart, the spring is worthy of me."
This article will take everyone into Wu Shi’s glorious life and see what it means to be truly knowledgeable. Capable person?
In 1894, Wu Shi was born in Luozhou Township, Minhou County, Fujian Province. This place is one of the frontiers of the revolution. He was deeply influenced by the progressive trend of thought. When he was a teenager, he set up lofty ambitions-for the rise of the country and the nation. struggle.
In 1911, the Revolution of 1911 led by Mr. Sun Yat-sen kicked off vigorously. Wu Shi and his fellow villager Wu Zhongxi joined the young army of the Northern Expedition in Fujian and participated in and witnessed the collapse of the late Qing Dynasty and the rise of the Republic of China.
Wu Zhongxi
After the victory of the Revolution of 1911, Wu Shi entered Wuchang Preparatory Military Academy and Baoding Military Academy for four years. With outstanding talents and hard work , whether it is year-end exam or The completion exam is always the first in the school, which amazes the teachers and students of the school.
He could have joined the army, but felt that what he had learned now could not support his high aspirations, so he went to study in Japan again, and went to Japan Artillery School and Japan Army University , and went on to further his studies. a period of time.
When the two schools graduated, Wu Shi still ranked first in the school, which once again caused a sensation in the military circles of the two countries. At that time, Wu Shi had a reputation of " " ,It means that he has extraordinary attainments in twelve fields including literature, martial arts, poetry, poetry, calligraphy, painting, riding, shooting, driving, swimming, English, and Japanese.
At this time, Wu Shi has great ambitions in his heart. He wants to use what he has learned to contribute to the rejuvenation of the motherland and lead the Chinese patriarchs to create a prosperous peace and a national and Thai folk music.
General Wu Shi
Wu Shi had a longing for him. After he returned to China, he did not get the actual position of leading soldiers. He was only assigned to serve in the agency, engaged in some staff, teaching, intelligence work, and some pearls. The suspicion of secret casting.
However, this is also easy to understand, Chiang Kai-shek's practice of cronyism is the real value for the people from Huangpu. But for foreign households like Wu Shi, without a strong background, it would be difficult for them to obtain a military position with real power.
Wu Shixin is unwilling to do so, but he still never wastes time. He is serious and responsible during the time he is on duty, studying military affairs painstakingly, and preparing for the great cause of the Kuomintang.
Especially when he was working as a university faculty member, he wrote a large number of military books and cultivated many talents for the Kuomintang army. Later, many famous young generals in the national army were his students.
In February 1936, Wu Shi was awarded a major general by the National Government for his diligence. This was an extremely extraordinary honor, but Wu Shi was not happy in his heart, only because he had no skill in slaying dragons. , But there is no chance to display it, it takes a long time to empty, and the mind is gradually declining.
Chiang Kai-shek
Wu Shi has always been eager to lead soldiers to fight. At the time, his classmate from Baoding Military Academy, , Bai Chongxi, and others have been reused and become senior generals in the Kuomintang army. Wu Shi admits that he is not at all. If you lose to them, you can only use what you have learned, but what can you really want?
During the land war,Even if Chiang Kai-shek did not get the reuse, he still insisted on standing in the camp of the national government and insisting on making suggestions for Chiang Kai-shek’s anti-communist cause. Opportunity to kill the enemy on the battlefield.
But after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Chiang Kai-shek still remained unchanged. He stated that he had established a national united anti-Japanese front, but he was still targeting the Communist Party from time to time, but he was retreating in every possible way against the Japanese invaders. This disappointed him in his heart. Accumulate more and more.
In early 1940, Wu Shi met with Wu Zhongxi, an old friend from his hometown. At this time, Wu Zhongxi served as Director of the Military Affairs Division of the Fourth Theater Command and Commander of the Shaoguan Police in Shaoguan. What Wu Shi didn't know was that Wu Zhongxi had secretly joined the Communist Party of China after the Xi'an Incident.
Wu Zhongxi
At that time, the Kuomintang was still decayed. There were those who made a lot of money from the country, and those who fought for power and profit, and those who were unwilling to fight against the Japanese. Owned by the enemy, Wu Shi wanted to do something with passion, but found that he couldn't change anything. The depression made him very depressed.
Wu Shi's emotions made Wu Zhongxi feel that Wu Shi could be a target. After that, Wu Zhongxi used Wu Shi’s key points to obtain some convenience for his underground work. surrendered to Wu Shi, intentionally or unconsciously, and provided some help to Wu Shi. The relationship between the two was getting closer and closer. Wu Zhongxi believed that Wu Shi was indeed the one. Can fight for.
Wu Zhongxi later wrote in his memoirs: "Wu Shi has a good impression of the Communists. He has read Mao Zedong's " On the Protracted War" and other military works, and heard of Zhou Enlai in Luojiashan, Wuhan. He gave a speech and had contacts with Ye Jianying and others."
At the end of 1940,Wu Shi accidentally organized a key battle in the battle of southern Guangxi and achieved a big victory. He was strongly recommended by his classmate and friend Bai Chongxi, and was transferred from the headquarters of the national army to the fourth theater as the lieutenant chief of staff.
Bai Chongxi
Wu Zhongxi was also transferred to Liuzhou (the resident of the Fourth War Zone Chief) to serve as the Lieutenant General Supervisor. The two worked together in one place and had more opportunities for contact.
Wu Shi has a close fame, He Sui, who holds an important position in the National Government. He is a loyal man with progressive thinking and a heart for the country. He is not hostile to the Communist Party by party and party. Since the Xi'an Incident, he has been actively helping Communist Party of China.
When Wu Shi was in Nanjing and Chongqing, he often discussed current affairs with He Sui, and he very much agreed with his "the whole people are of one mind, regardless of party affiliation" 's anti-Japanese concept.
Wu Yuncheng (the eldest son of Wu Shi) recalled: "Father Wu Shi was engaged in intelligence work against Japan in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, so he had contacts with Premier Zhou, Ye Jianying and others. Wu Shi respected Zhou, Ye and others, and spoke frankly. They are true heroes, and Zhou, Ye and others also appreciate Wu Shi. Both sides have a great affection for each other."
He Sui
The fourth theater is on the border of China and Vietnam, and Wu Shi, by chance, also saved the life of the Viet Cong leader Ho Chi Minh. It was the end of 1942. Zhenbian County caught a Vietnamese who entered the country secretly, suspected to be a Japanese spy, and sent a report to the Fourth War Zone to be shot on the spot.
After hearing the news, Wu Shi ordered to send the people to Liuzhou's chief department in Zhenbian County. After learning about from many sources, he determined that he was the head of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh. It has done many things.
1944,The Japanese army aggressively invaded the land of Xianggui where Guixi was located, and the Guangxi army was retreating steadily. Wu Shi repeatedly asked the National Government to send heavy troops for assistance, but received no response. The final result of was that the Japanese army rushed in quickly, and Xianggui basically fell. , There are fleeing soldiers and civilians everywhere, and most of them are killed by Japanese planes.
Wu Shi, who witnessed all this with his own eyes, could not understand the joints in it, Chiang Kai-shek borrowed the hands of Japanese invaders to suppress the forces of the Gui family. This has been used against the Communist Party in the past.
Ho Chi Minh
Wu Shi no longer had any hope for the "party state" he was loyal to. He said to his family "I won't do it anymore" , and then became angry. Resigned from the post of chief of staff of the theater.
Wu Shi returned to Chongqing disappointedly and was appointed as the director of the Office of the Minister of Military and Political Affairs. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he went to take over Shanghai. He witnessed the moths and corruption during the takeover process, which made the living environment of the people in Shanghai even more difficult.
In the officialdom of the Nationalist government, , like Wu Shi, is a different "mellow man" who is not gregarious and will naturally only be squeezed out again and again. No, after returning to Chongqing, he was directly pushed out to the second line, and went to the Shizheng Bureau to serve as the so-called director.
After learning for many years, but now it is useless. Wu Shi is completely disappointed and often complains: "The Kuomintang is not dead!" Helping to intercede, this didn't cause a big mess.
But Wu Shi was still "unchanging". He listened to the radio in the liberated area at home and asked his son Wu Shaocheng to help record. Wu Shaocheng later recalled that his father’s grievances were passed into Chiang Kai-shek’s ears. Even if a friend helped to turn around, it still left a knot in Jiang's heart. For this reason, Chiang Kai-shek gave his family a new house, and Mao Renfeng lived next door.
However, his father was a kind of stubborn, and he did not hide his "pro-communist" behavior at all, which made their whole family often frightened.

In early 1946, Wu Zhongxi was transferred to Nanjing as a lieutenant general. The organization wanted him to find a real position in the Ministry of National Defense to better carry out intelligence work. Wu Zhongxi passed Wu Shi's relationship finally achieved this goal and became the chief inspector of the Supervisory Bureau, who can often go to various places to inspect the army and collect important information about the Kuomintang army.
From being a little busy at the beginning to being busy now, although Wu Shi did not expressly say, it can be seen that his heart has shifted to the side of the Communist Party.
In April 1947, I finally pierced this layer of window paper. After He Sui's introduction, Wu Shi met with Liu Xiao , the leader of the East China Bureau, and really established contact with the Communist Party.
Since then, Wu Shi used his position to travel frequently to various parts of East China, continuously collecting and disseminating information for the organization, and made an indelible achievement.
In June 1948, Wu Zhongxi got the attention of Li Shuzheng, Chief of General Staff of Xuzhou Suppression by Wu Shi's relationship, and then learned about the many deployments of the Kuomintang army during the Huaihai War, which made important contributions to the subsequent layout of our party.
Li Shuzheng
At the beginning of 1949, the People's Liberation Army had become a general trend, the people in the National Government were panic, and many people had begun to think about the future. At that time, the Ministry of National Defense still had 500 boxes of important confidential information. Bai Chongxi and Chen Cheng suggested that they should be shipped directly to Taiwan. , but Wu Shi advocated shipping to Fuzhou first. The reason given was that it would be easier to return to Beijing if the situation improves.If it becomes bad, it is convenient to transfer to Taiwan.
In fact, Wu Shi learned that he was about to be transferred to the deputy director of the Fuzhou Public Administration. He wanted to properly preserve this batch of materials. When the time was right, he led his troops in the Fuzhou uprising, and finally dedicated this batch of materials to the People's Liberation Army.
Later, in the face of the urging of the authorities, Wu Shi found an excuse to delay, and then implemented the baggage as a substitute for stiff1strong, and saved the real archives.
In July 1949, Wu Shi was promoted to deputy chief of staff of the Ministry of National Defense. At this time, the Kuomintang’s withdrawal from Taiwan has been decided. Wu Shi deeply felt that there was too little effort for the organization and too little for the people. Since now still has the opportunity, he plans to bring his wife and children into Taiwan. will continue to serve the organization, even for this. Don't hesitate to encounter that in case.
Chen Cheng
At this time, Wu Shiben can choose to stay in the mainland. With his deeds to the people, our party will definitely make proper arrangements. But Wu Shi did not hesitate and gave his choice-to go to Taiwan and continue to serve the organization.
Before going to Taiwan, Wu Shi specially went to see Wu Zhongxi once and explained his choice to him. After Wu Zhongxi reported to the organization, the organization attached great importance to it, and arranged for Wu Shi to be codenamed "Secret Envoy No. 1" , with the highest level of confidentiality, and made every effort to provide cover for him.
In August 1949, at the instruction of Chiang Kai-shek to take his family to Taiwan immediately, Wu Shi took his wife Wang Bikui and a pair of young children to Taiwan, while the eldest son Wu Shaocheng and the eldest daughter Wu Lancheng stayed in the mainland.
Presumably Wu Shi was already prepared just in case at this time. The pair of sons and daughters who remained in the mainland was the inheritance of his blood. As for his wife and a pair of young children,This is also a helpless move. If it were not for them, how could Chiang Kai-shek be assured of entrusting him with important tasks.
Wu Shi and his family
After Wu Shi rushed to Taiwan, he was regarded as a real important position and had access to a large number of military secrets. This was a unique opportunity. Wu Shi felt that he could also be used for the first time. It is so important, careful but careful, to screen out piece after piece of important information for the organization, and pass it on to the mainland through relevant secret channels.
Regarding the series of information provided by Wu Shi, Li Zisheng, a Kuomintang agent who was involved in the trial of Wu Shi’s case, once said: "Wu Shi has an excellent sense of smell due to his long-term high-level staff work in screening intelligence, and he passed it on. The information of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army is extremely clear and important. It pays special attention to important details such as figures and charts. It is of great reference value for the Communist Party of China." Islands 's offensive suffered heavy losses. Based on the summary after the war, the failure of these two battles is related to our party’s inability to grasp the deployment of the national army.
During the War of Liberation, our party deployed many intelligence personnel in many units of the National Army, and they were able to achieve a certain target. Only this was able to fight steadily and steadily step by step, making the Kuomintang hardly able to fight back in the middle and late stages.
Now, the Kuomintang has withdrawn from Taiwan, the entire front has shrunk, and the difficulty in obtaining and disseminating information has invisibly increased. This has caused such two boring losses.
In order to improve this situation, it is necessary to retrieve the information that Wu Shitan heard as soon as possible. At the end of November 1949, the organization sent Zhu Feng, an intelligence officer who had been lurking in Hong Kong and Shanghai for a long time, to Taiwan. The daughter and son-in-law used this social relationship as a cover to secretly contact Wu Shi to retrieve information.
Zhu Feng Martyrs
Zhu Chenzhi did not live up to the expectations of the organization,After going to Taiwan, I safely retrieved the intelligence collected by Wu Shi. It was a miniature film including "Taiwan Theater Strategic Defense Map" and "Contingency Plan for Organizing National Guerilla Forces after the Fall of the Mainland" . These are all important deployments of the Taiwan military and provide a practical and effective basis for the subsequent actions of the East China Bureau.
Among them, there are several important pieces of information, which were read by Chairman Mao and other high-level central officials. Chairman Mao is quite interested in the source of this information.
Premier Zhou told him that was found by Taiwanese comrades in the tiger's den, and then a female traffic officer went behind the enemy to retrieve in spite of safety. Chairman Mao praised it again and again after listening, and immediately asked : "Definitely I want to give them a great credit!"
Chairman Mao was inspired by what he felt, and he wrote a poem that praised : "The storm beats the island, the blue waves reflect the dawn. The tiger's cave hides the loyal soul," Dawn is coming early."
Zhu Feng Martyrs
At the end of 1949, the three armed forces of the People’s Liberation Army were all eyeing Taiwan, and Chiang Kai-shek was worried in Taiwan. In view of the past failures, it was necessary to clean up the interior. Stick to the central task of "Taiwan".
In order to achieve this goal, Chiang Kai-shek established the General Political Department of the Ministry of National Defense, and let his son Chiang Ching-kuo be in charge. monitors the entire armed forces and makes sure not to commit to communist incidents. Second, Chiang Ching-kuo is required to coordinate the handling of the CCP’s underground organizations in Taiwan.
Jiang Jingguo adheres to the principle of "I would rather kill a thousand by mistake and never let go of one" ,A thorough Qing Communist Party has been launched from all walks of life in Taiwan, and our party's underground organization in Taiwan is facing a major test.
On January 29, 1950, Cai Xiaoqian, secretary of the CPC Taiwan Provincial Working Committee, was arrested. Within a week of , Cai Xiaoqian was captured by the enemy's coercion and profit, and betrayed all our party's underground organizations in Taiwan.
Cai Xiaoqian
In this incident, led to the arrest of more than 400 latent comrades from our side. Among these 400 people, some of them had renegade and survived, and most of the other comrades would rather die than surrender, and were brutally suppressed by the reactionaries at the Machang Town Execution Ground.
Originally, Wu Shi’s identity was unknown to Cai Xiaoqian. But because of the two defeats of Kinmen and Zhoushan Islands, the situation was too tense at the time. The organization sent Zhu Chenzhi to Taiwan to receive intelligence. Naturally, it was impossible to cross Cai Xiaoqian. After several times, Cai Xiaoqian also learned of Wu Shi's red spy identity.
So, Wu Shi encountered a secret agent coming to his door, begging for death, but was arrested in the panic of his family. Not is just Wu Shi. The senior officers Chen Baocang, Nie Xi, Wang Zhengjun , Lin Zhisen and others who he deployed were also wiped out by spies.
June 10, 1950, (from right) Nie Xi, Wu Shi (testator), Zhu Chenzhi, Chen Bincang listen to the death sentence
Zhu Chenzhi, who was joined in Zhoushan soon , Was also taken back to in Taiwan by a special agent. After Zhu Feng was arrested, he took advantage of the negligence of the guards and swallowed a gold necklace to try to commit suicide. was in a coma one night later, and the secret agent was rushed to the hospital when he was found, but he woke up after first aid.
, who participated in the trial of Wu Shi’s case, said in the main text of the Great Special Agent Valley, recalling the past: “This kind of discipline and spirit of maintaining important work and sacrificing personal life,Sincerely there are merits". and praised Wu Shi and Zhu Feng for their for their strong party spirit and extraordinary knowledge and ability.
Zhu Feng was arrested before the death of Martyr Wu Shi
After inhuman torture and blindness in one eye, he knew that Chiang Kai-shek hated him as a traitor. If he did not sell the organization, there would be no hope of survival, and even his family members in Taiwan would have no good fruits.
However, when he entered Taiwan, he was ready. A gentleman could do something or not. He could no longer do something that violated his beliefs. Then there would only be a negative family member. I wrote a suicide note of more than two thousand words in prison.
The suicide note is mainly about family members, recalling the ups and downs of his wife Wang Bikui married to him for so many years, and expressed her most sincere love and dissatisfaction. , And I feel deeply guilty and uneasy for influencing her.
For a pair of young children, there is also nostalgia and guilt, as he wrote to his youngest son who has just turned 6 this year: "Just enrolled in a private kindergarten in spring. , Was arrested before seeing him enroll in school. I wonder if the father and son will meet again? Thinking can't help but tears down.
General Wu Shi was arrested
Wu Shi's expectation was not bad, more than three months after his arrest, on June 10, 1950, Chiang Kai-shek finally lost his patience. Zhu Feng, Chen Baocang, Nie Xi, Wang Zhengjun, and Lin Zhisen issued execution orders, and six righteous men of the country died tragically under the guns of the reactionaries.
History will never forget heroes, and the motherland should remember the heroes. More than 20 years later. Years later, In 1973, Premier Zhou, with the support of Chairman Mao, ratified General Wu Shi and others as revolutionary martyrs in recognition of their special contributions to the reunification of the motherland.
On July 17, 1950, Liu Jinyu and Yan Huixian were sentenced to death before writing their wills
In 2000, the remains of General Wu Shi and his wife Wang Bikui returned to their roots and were buried in the Futian Cemetery outside Beijing span3span, there is a white marble stele in front of the cemetery with written on the front: "The tomb of General Wu Shi and Mrs. Wang Bikui."
Inscription on the back: "After victory, we will oppose the civil war and devote ourselves to the great cause of national liberation and reunification. Great success!" The inscription was personally examined and approved by the former Secretary-General of the State Council Luo Qingchang and written by Zheng Baosheng, the former confidant secretary of General Wu Shi.
