In June 1943, Yan'an conducted statistics on the admission of students previously arranged. This group of students is not simple. They are all leading "seedlings" that major troops attach great importance to. One of the youngest and promising students among is Tian Shouyao, who is only 28 years old.
When he learned that Tian Shouyao came to Yan'an, Chairman Mao was very excited. You should know that no matter whether the Kuomintang or the Communist Party, most of the leading generals were graduated from , Huangpu Military Academy, and had strong professional qualities. This young man was different. He had not received systematic training, but he showed amazing command talent. When he first joined the army, Tian Shouyao could not recognize many .
Chairman Mao naturally had special expectations for this young man, so he decided to personally meet Tian Shouyao, who had made many military achievements.
Just when everyone felt that this young man’s future was bright, Blu, who was then director of the Border Region Security Department of Yan'an headquarters, discovered a suspicion - Tian Shouyao did not carry a letter of introduction and some key materials.
According to Tian Shouyao's explanation, he was extremely bumpy on his way to Yan'an, especially when he encountered the Japanese patrol boat on the sea. There was a fight. He escaped by chance but lost these files, so he looked embarrassed.
In fact, this explanation is not unreasonable. As the War of Resistance Against Japan is in full swing, it is not easy for these practitioners to arrive in Yan'an on time without any harm. It is not a big problem to have some negligence and omissions. However, Bru has been responsible for the security work of preventing enemy spies for many years. he still feels that there are big problems with the "Tian Shouyao" in front of him, but he can't find any evidence.
For this reason, Bru began to look for all the information about Tian Shouyao, hoping to find some clues from it.
年年年文
1915, Tian Shouyao was born in Lu'an, Anhui. In that turbulent era, Tian Shouyao, as a poor family, had to work for the landlords if he wanted to survive. At that time, the exploitation of the people by the landlord class was a bone-killing marrow, and he wanted these poor people to work for themselves day and night.
The young Tian Shouyao never understood why his family worked diligently every day, and in the end the whole family couldn't even have a full meal. Until 1930, the 15-year-old Tian Shouyao suddenly opened up his cognition by a concept - The Communist Party came to Lu'an to launch a revolutionary movement. With the support of his family, Tian Shouyao resolutely joined this team that is the leader of the people and became a member of the young vanguard team. The following year, 16-year-old Tian Shouyao participated in the Lu'an Hexi Uprising, and set off a revolutionary struggle against exploitation, tax donation, and militia.
What is amazing is that a child from a peasant background actually has such amazing learning and leadership skills. In 1934, Tian Shouyao, who was less than 20 years old, served as the battalion commander of the 225th Regiment of the Red Army with his outstanding command ability and led the team to participate in the Long March . By 1935, he was appointed as the commander of the 78th Division of the Red 15th Legion.
, especially when the Kuomintang encircled and suppressed , Hubei, Henan and Shaanxi revolutionary base , Tian Shouyao's counterattack was extremely beautiful. He expected that the Kuomintang army would underestimate the enemy and advance rapidly, so he deliberately set up an ambush in the mountainous areas and eliminated the Third Brigade of the Kuomintang's garrison in Shaanxi in one fell swoop. This move greatly hindered the enemy's encirclement and suppression plan, and provided plenty of time for other comrades' combat plans.
It was also through this fight . Tian Shouyao suddenly realized his shortcomings. When the soldiers asked him why he was sure that the enemy would advance easily, he could not say any reason, but could only tell everyone that this was his premonition.
Although the post-spot reconnaissance showed the correctness of his premonition, for the leading general, without sufficient theoretical knowledge to support his views, it will not play a good role in the leadership team. You cannot explain your premonition to your comrades every time you fight, right? The soldiers can of course follow orders without asking the reason, but how can they report to their superiors?
So Tian Shouyao began to transform his shortcomings in a targeted manner. The revolutionary situation was complicated. If it could not be perfect, it was very likely that the enemy would capture his weaknesses, which would delay the process of the revolutionary struggle. So Tian Shouyao decided to go to Yan'an to study.
Its greatest achievement is the most important turning point in the Anti-Japanese War - the Pingxingguan Battle.
As the deputy commander of the main regiment, Tian Shouyao personally led the 678th regiment to fight with the Japanese army. The crushing of equipment did not extinguish the soldiers' blood of killing the enemy. After all the bullets were fought, they would fight with hand and blades. Even though Tian Shouyao was injured in a knife, he still lay on a stretcher to continue commanding the battle.
This battle directly shattered the undefeated "myth" of the Japanese army. At the cost of hundreds of soldiers' casualties, it wiped out the gang of more than 1,000 people of Itagaki Seishiro Division, known as the elite, in one fell swoop, causing the morale of anti-Japanese in North China and even the whole of China to surge, and laid a broad mass base. created favorable conditions for the construction of , the anti-Japanese base behind .
Tian Shouyao was not satisfied with the commendation and commendation. He knew very well that as a leading general, how to exchange the lowest price for victory is the top priority. These comrades and comrades who followed him all had a heart to serve the country, , but only with correct and clever command can they minimize unnecessary sacrifices.
Therefore, Tian Shouyao decided to go to Yan'an again to study, and was promoted to the commander of the brigade of the 2nd Brigade of the 2nd Column of the Eighth Route Army. Since then, Tian Shouyao has won many battles in the revolutionary zone in northern Jiangsu. It is said that the times create heroes. The Party Central Committee was also surprised by Tian Shouyao's talent.
You should know that this child, who was born in a poor peasant, has never experienced professional military learning. He can achieve such achievements just by summarizing his experience in each battle. Then if he trains it thoroughly, Tian Shouyao's future is unknown. Therefore, the Party Central Committee once again arranged for Tian Shouyao to come to Yan'an to continue his studies in 1943.
Since the revolutionary area in northern Jiangsu is really too far from Yan'an, there are various checkpoints set up by the Japanese and puppet troops on the way, in order to avoid the emergence of troubles, Tian Shouyao and his party decided to disguise themselves as merchants, set out from the Yan River in northern Jiangsu, go north by water through the Yellow Sea, first go to Shandong, and then find a way to go to Yan'an by land.
Unexpectedly, Tian Shouyao, who went to Yan'an with his wife, had an accident on the Yellow Sea near Ganyu County .
On March 17, a merchant ship that was originally traveling smoothly in the Yellow Sea suddenly encountered a Japanese patrol boat, and he insisted on reaping some oil and water from the merchant ship regardless of the identity and pass command of the merchant ship.
Tian Shouyao was not afraid of the Japanese army's search, but he thought of the confidential documents he carried with him, which was more important than his identity. Everyone looked at Tian Shouyao, Tian Shouyao made up his mind, and files must not fall into the hands of the Japanese army: "Battle!"
Some Japanese troops and translators on the patrol boat were caught off guard and were shot dead by Tian Shouyao and his group. The rest of the Japanese army quickly fled.
Where can merchant ships keep up with the speed of patrol boats? What's more, Tian Shouyao and his friends' weapons are all mausoleum guns and grenades and , which can't hit that far distance.
So after the patrol boats set apart, the Japanese army above quickly set up the machine gun and fired wildly at the merchant ship. Soon, the wooden merchant ship was full of holes, and the comrades could not avoid it. For a moment, the sea water was mixed with blood and red.
"Comrades, I'm afraid it's hard to get out of here this time." Tian Shouyao directed everyone to retreat to the cabin: "After fighting for so many years, you can die, destroy the file, and fight! "
The battle continued until 3 pm. The Japanese patrol boats did not expect that Tian Shouyao and others were so good at fighting. Soon they also had some casualties and insufficient ammunition.
But the Japanese army did not give Tian Shouyao a chance. Reinforcements rushed from Lianyungang and forced them to set up a firepower network to the merchant ship. Tian Shouyao had to destroy the documents and lead everyone to dive together, swim to the shore, and plan to meet on the shore.
It's a pity that Tian Shouyao His wife Chen Luolian was unfortunately shot. Tian Shouyao struggled in the Yellow Sea with his injured wife on his back. He gradually lost his energy. The disaster was not alone. At this time, a huge wave hit him, and the couple was involved in the sea.
The soldiers of the Second Battalion of the Binhai Guard Regiment stationed in Wangcun received a message from the militia on the shore. He knew that the New Fourth Army comrades who went to Yan'an on the sea were comrades in the New Fourth Army who went to Yan'an and immediately organized a rescue.
The Japanese patrol boat could not withstand the fierce attacks of our comrades on the shore. It is a pity that Tian Shouyao and his wife, 16 cadres, and 28 sailors and staff were killed together.
"Shelf" in Yan'an
Since Tian Shouyao had already died heroically in March, the student named "Tian Shouyao" who came to Yan'an is obviously not the original.
But due to the times, the news of Tian Shouyao's death did not reach Yan'an in time, so the fake Tian Shouyao was so smooth and relied on himself to fight with the Japanese army. For the excuse, he missed the layers of reviewers and came to Yan'an to report.
Blu was very sensitive. He was praised by Chairman Mao as "Shelf of Yan'an" and served as the chief of the reconnaissance section, chief of the intelligence section, minister of security and other positions. His sensitivity to intelligence and enemy spies is obviously higher than that of ordinary people. As early as when "Tian Shouyao" came to report, he noticed something was wrong.
How did he notice it? This has to be said that after the Southern Anhui Incident, the Military Affairs Bureau spies under Chiang Kai-shek Often looking for opportunities to sneak into Yan'an, Bru has long been accustomed to dealing with these potential threats, , but what happened in recent times made him a little confused.
First, , Wuqi Town, northwest of Yan'an, , found that 7 suspicious men tried to secretly bypass the alert. Our soldiers immediately fired guns to warn. Unexpectedly, these people were fully armed and openly exchanged fire with the soldiers. When , they found that the documents on several people were indeed Kuomintang spies.
But everyone was dead, where did they check their purpose? Just when the clue was broken, a Kuomintang spy secretly crossed the outpost occurred in the next Fuxian . This time, there were also seven spies, who did not escape. After being discovered, they launched a counterattack directly, and had no intention of surviving.
Blu couldn't sit still now. With such a similar method, the Kuomintang spy must be planning something, so Tian Shouyao's arrival made Blu unable to help but contact him. Since he said that he lost the documents because he fought with the Japanese army, then check the itinerary.
After asking indirectly on the other hand, "Tian Shouyao" said that he set out from the Yan River and transferred from Shandong via the Huanghai to Yan'an.
In fact, what he said was exactly the same as what Honda Shouyao planned, , but this person forgot a key point, that is, from Shandong to Yan'an, he must pass through Shandong, Henan and Shanxi.
And Jin and Luyu are the base of our army. If this person is really Tian Shouyao, it is impossible not to go to the base to rectify it. Even if he does not go, he will send someone to notify the base. Then the base must have their itinerary record. Otherwise, it is impossible for each base to easily send a stranger who has neither a letter of introduction nor a related document to pass the test.
Sure enough, the comrades of Jin and Luyu quickly called Yan'an, saying that no comrade who "has no letter of introduction" and his customs clearance records were found in each base.
This further proves Blu's point of view. How could it take 3 months for someone to come to Yan'an from Shandong? What's more, the battle he mentioned took place in the Yellow Sea. As long as you go ashore and have an organized response, it won't take that long! So this person must be fake!
Blu immediately found Qian Yimin, who was then the Minister of the Yan'an Security Department, to tell the matter. At first, Qian Yimin felt a little incredible. How dare the Kuomintang spies pretend to be the brigade commander of our army? He asked in confusion: "Comrade Tian Shouyao is a leading cadre of our army. Are you sure?"
Blu reiterated the details and ideas he found, and said seriously: "I still recommend that you review this brigade commander immediately. After all, he is the comrade Chairman Mao decided to meet, so you can't be careless at all!"
Qian Yimin pondered for a moment and carefully considered the details that Blu said. Indeed, these accidental coincidences cannot be used as direct evidence, but there must be no doubts about "Tian Shouyao"!
Under the plan of the two, a team quietly gathered and quickly surrounded "Tian Shouyao"'s residence with lightning speed. "Tian Shouyao" who was broken into the door was full of horror, but he still shouted, scolding Bru and others for their rudeness.
security personnel were a little overwhelmed by this rebuke. Seeing his reaction, Bru smiled contemptuously and shouted that he ordered the security personnel to search "Tian Shouyao", which was a shocking result - An American-made sound-silenced pistol was stored in close contact with "Tian Shouyao".
Sure enough, after interrogation, Tian Shouyao truthfully confessed that he was indeed a spy from the Kuomintang and was appointed by his superiors to assassinate Chairman Mao as Tian Shouyao. But how did the famous party of the country know that Tian Shouyao had already died? This is a long story.
When the gunfight broke out in the Yellow Sea, the secret service of Wang Jingwei immediately obtained clues from the Japanese army and learned about the list of comrades in the New Fourth Army on the ship, including Tian Shouyao, and . This matter was not kept confidential, which led to the Kuomintang spies lurking in the Wang puppet government also learned about the matter.
Military Command leader Dai Li After receiving the report, he thought it was an opportunity and decided to send senior spies to disguise Narita Shouyao and use the route scheduled by Tian Shouyao to Yan'an to find an opportunity to assassinate Chairman Mao. Their plan was very comprehensive, and it was true whether it was a battle at sea or a route, and it was difficult for people to doubt it.
But they never expected that there was another "Shelmes" in Yan'an. They immediately noticed the abnormal behavior of the Kuomintang spies near Yan'an. They immediately thought that these activities might be related to "Tian Shouyao". , under Bru's keen observation and analysis, once again ensured the safety of Yan'an.
Later, after the situation stabilized, the Party Central Committee buried Tian Shouyao and other martyrs in the Anti-Japanese Mountain Martyrs Cemetery in Ganyu County, Shandong Province. The commander of the Second Artillery Corps Cui Tianmin griefly wrote a couplet for Tian Shouyao and other martyrs: Civil War and Anti-Japanese War have made extraordinary achievements, and have been used to fight for the Party and the country, and have been famous for the past; horizontal banner: Immortal.
