Without saying a word, he picked up a stone and threw it at his mouth. In an instant, his four front teeth fell out, and blood kept pouring out. He grabbed the dirt on the ground, wiped it on his face a few times, and then deliberately scratched it. With his own hair, he successfully escaped the Kuomintang's checkpoints as a beggar and sent top-secret information to the hands of the Red Army.

As soon as the information was obtained, the Red Army immediately held an emergency meeting and began the Long March of 25,000 miles. So who is this beggar? How did he get this top-secret information? It all starts with Chiang Kai-shek 's "Iron Bucket Plan".

In September 1934, Chiang Kai-shek secretly held an emergency meeting in Lushan. The theme of the meeting was how to annihilate the Central Red Army in one fell swoop. At this time, a German consultant proposed the "Iron Bucket Plan", which basically meant that the Kuomintang would deploy 1.5 million troops, 270 aircraft, and 200 artillery pieces, starting from Ruijin and extending 150 kilometers around to draw a circle. Layers of obstacles are set up to make it difficult for the Communist Party to fly.

And he also specifically emphasized that the national army cannot be in a hurry for success and cannot continue to advance after traveling up to five kilometers per day. It is necessary to stop and build fortifications, so Ruijin is like a trapped beast. No matter how capable it is, without external material support, the Red Army will soon run out of ammunition and food, and will be defeated by the national army.

Chiang Kai-shek

In order to ensure that this plan was foolproof, Chiang Kai-shek also specially sent 1,000 military trucks to prevent the Red Army from launching a surprise attack, intending to wipe out the Central Red Army within a month.

What a rigorous plan this is. If the plan is actually implemented, the Central Red Army will be unable to fight back. Many national troops cheered for this rigorous plan, and they fantasized about the joy after defeating the Communist Party. However, among the army, there was a person who was smiling but not smiling. On the surface, he was happy for the national army, but in fact he was worried about the Communist Party.

So who is this person? How will he pass on the information?

Xiang Yunian

Chiang Kai-shek's confidant passed the top secret information to the Communist Party without hesitation, so why did he betray Chiang Kai-shek? The Kuomintang's plan to suppress bandits made the soldiers very excited, but there was only one person who couldn't be truly happy, and that was Mo Xiong, Jiangxi's fourth administrative commissioner and security commander.

Mo Xiong was born in Yingde, Guangdong in 1891. After graduating from the Army Lecture Hall, he joined the Tongmenghui and followed Sun Yat-sen on the road to revolution. He once participated in the Huanghuagang Uprising, the National Protection Uprising, Northern Expedition , etc., and became a general of the Guangdong Army with his outstanding military exploits.

After Sun Yat-sen passed away in 1925, Mo Xiong never expected that Chiang Kai-shek would become a complete villain. At that time, Xu Chongzhi , who was loyal to Chiang Kai-shek, was ruthlessly dismissed by Chiang Kai-shek, and a battalion of troops was sent to surround Xu Chongzhi's mansion and cut off all telephone lines to prevent him from seeking help from Mo Xiong. After that, Mo Xiong had the idea of ​​​​revolting against Chiang. It was not until 1930 that he joined forces with Zhang Fakui to rebel against Chiang but failed.

Mo Xiong

Later, under the introduction of Liu Yafo, he got to know many Communists. He very much agreed with the ideas of the Communist Party, so he wanted to join the Communist Party. However, due to special circumstances, he was unable to join the large army and instead became a member of the Communist Party. A senior Communist Party agent buried in the Kuomintang.

In order to obtain more information, Mo Xiong returned to Chiang Kai-shek again through Tang Yongtai's help. In order to make Chiang Kai-shek trust Mo Xiong more, in 1934, the Red Army cooperated with Mo Xiong to fight several battles. When Chiang Kai-shek saw the successive success stories , he put down all his guard, reused Mo Xiong again, and gave him the position of commissioner and security commander of the Fourth Administrative Office in northern Jiangxi. This also gave him access to the military's top secrets.

In 1934, he ushered in this opportunity and came to Lushan to attend a secret military meeting. When he learned that Chiang Kai-shek had a strict plan to wipe out the Communist Party, he was very panicked. He knew how important this information was to the Red Army.So after the meeting, regardless of his own safety, he went to great lengths to take away the "Iron Barrel Project" and handed it to his confidential secretary Xiang Yunian. He told Xiang Yunian that he would pass the information to the Red Army. .

Xiang Yunian

After receiving the information, Xiang Yunian quickly called Liu Yafo and Lu Zhiying to discuss countermeasures. In the end, they quickly activated the secret radio station, but due to word limit, they could not elaborate on the urgency of the matter. It was unrealistic to get so much information out, so they used steganography potions overnight to write down all major issues such as plans and troop deployments in four student-specific dictionaries, and also copied the battle drawings. It was finally decided that Xiang Yunian would personally deliver this information to the Red Army.

Xiang Yunian received a task to pass top-secret information to the Red Army. In order to successfully pass the checkpoints, he did not hesitate to knock out four of his teeth. Can he successfully pass the checkpoints dressed as a beggar? Pass the information completely to the Red Army?

Speaking of Xiang Yunian, he was born in Liancheng, Fujian Province in 1894. He joined the Communist Party in 1925 and two years later became a member of the Central Special Branch founded by Premier Zhou in Shanghai. Due to his outstanding performance, he was sent to lurk in the Kuomintang to collect intelligence. After getting this iron bucket plan, he embarked on the road of delivering the message without any delay.

At the beginning, he first disguised himself as a teacher, so that it was natural to get a dictionary. In order to ensure the safety of the information, he did not rush during the day. Whenever dusk fell, he started his own journey. Not only that, he kept walking on remote and rugged roads in order not to encounter the Kuomintang officers who were guarding him at all levels.

But as he got closer to Ruijin, he found that more and more officers and soldiers were guarding him. The roads and alleys he could walk were surrounded by layers. Anyone who saw a strange face would be arrested, especially teenagers.

Seeing that the National Army was so tightly guarded, Xiang Yunian had something important to do, so he took off his husband's clothes, picked up a stone and threw it at his mouth. Four teeth fell out and blood flowed. Then he grabbed dirt from the ground and wiped it on his face, making his hair extremely messy.

Xiang Yunian smashed four of his teeth with stones

He appeared at the checkpoint in the form of a beggar. When the soldiers saw the scrawny and messy beggar, they were so disgusted that they didn't even bother to check him, so they hurriedly He waved to him to get out quickly. In this way, he successfully escaped.

He finally came to Ruijin after many dangers, but was stopped by the guard. They didn't let him in, but when they heard that he wanted to see Premier Zhou, they quickly informed him. Afterwards, Li Kenong and Premier Zhou walked out together. Xiang Yunian quickly explained to them the purpose of his visit and took out top-secret information.

Premier Zhou saw the top-secret information and quickly held an emergency meeting without delay, and finally decided on the strategic shift. Three days later they began their 25,000-mile long march. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek's iron barrel plan had basically been formed, and only some small details needed to be dealt with. The Red Army took advantage of this moment to break out, catching Chiang Kai-shek by surprise.

The Long March

originally planned to eliminate the Central Red Army within one month, but it turned into a phantom. Chiang Kai-shek was furious that someone had leaked his perfect plan, but he didn't know that the person who leaked it was his confidant Mo Xiong.

After that, Chiang Kai-shek sent Mo Xiong to Bijie to participate in the operation to capture the Red Army, but Mo Xiong gave up Bijie City without firing a shot. Mo Xiong, who lost Bijie City, successfully attracted Chiang Kai-shek's attention and was arrested.

After Mo Xiong was imprisoned for five months, he was released on bail by Zhang Fakui and Chen Cheng. He then settled in Guangzhou and died of illness in 1980. The top-secret intelligence provided by Mo Xiong and Xiang Yunian to the Red Army prompted the Central Red Army to make a major strategic shift before the Iron Barrel Plan was completed. They are worthy heroes, salute them!
