Central Intelligence Department

Central Investigation and Research Bureau just took it for more than a month, and Mao Zedong was not satisfied again. In September 1941, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to establish the Central Intelligence Department.

The newly established Central Intelligence Department is a unified military and political strategic intelligence agency for the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Central Military Commission to conduct investigations and intelligence work. The Central Intelligence Department was formed based on the former Central Social Department and merged with part of the General Staff of the Military Commission and is still led by the Central Investigation and Research Bureau. In May 1942, the Japanese army launched a large-scale "sweeping" against the anti-Japanese base area behind . The task of the Military Commission was aggravated, and most of the military departments in the CIA were divided back to the headquarters of the Military Commission.

CIC and CIC are two brands of . The main task is to obtain and research military and political strategic intelligence. It also retains smaller institutions to guide the security work of each base area, guide intelligence work in the name of the CIC MI, and guide security work in the name of the CIC MI. This arrangement will help change the past habit of focusing on protection and pay more attention to intelligence work.

The original intelligence work did not pay enough attention to strategic intelligence. It is now clear that the main task of the Central Intelligence Department is to obtain military and political strategic intelligence. Mao Zedong told all places: Which stronghold has many garrisons with several machine guns and tactical intelligence, don’t report to Yan’an, I only have strategic intelligence!

This means a high degree of intelligence awareness and wise strategic transformation, from obtaining alert and defense intelligence to obtaining military and political strategic intelligence.

Kang Sheng, Minister of the Central Social Department, also serves as Minister of the Central Intelligence Department, and three deputy ministers: Wang Jiaxiang, Director of the General Political Department, , Deputy Chief of General Staff, Ye Jianying, and Li Kenong, Deputy Minister of the Central Social Department. Minister Kang Sheng devoted his main energy to the political movement, and the executive work of the department was actually chaired by Vice Minister Li Kenong. Li Kenong was one of the " Longtan Three Heroes " of the Central Special Science and Technology back then, and was recognized as an intelligence expert within the party. Li Kenong was in charge of the administration and immediately made comprehensive arrangements for intelligence work.

According to the instructions of the central government, the CIC Ministry established a view that is closely related to investigation and research and intelligence work, and made it clear that intelligence work serves the entire line, strategy and strategy of the Party. The Ministry of Information used the "Decision on Enhancement of Party Spirit" of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, "Decision on Investigation and Research" of the "Notice on Improving Intelligence Work" as the theoretical weapon of intelligence work. Clarify the tasks of intelligence work: on the one hand, conduct general investigations and systematically collect strategically meaningful public semi-public materials; on the other hand, conduct secret intelligence work and collect confidential military and political information from all aspects of the enemy. At the first ministry meeting, Zhu De pointed out: There is a lot of material, but the problem is that there is not enough research. In the past, the subjectivism among comrades came from people who claimed to be Marxist. This means that the CCP’s adjustment will not only involve organizational changes, but also correct previous leadership mistakes.

The CCP’s intelligence network covers the whole country

The work of the CIC Department focuses on the three aspects of the Japanese puppet, the Kuomintang, and Europe and the United States as its main objects, and investigates its political, military, parties, figures, spies, and social situations. The country is divided into several regions: Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Jinchaji, Hebei region, Hong Kong, Shanghai region, Shanxi, Suizhou region, Central China region, Chongqing region, Xi'an region. Various regions have established liaison and command systems such as intelligence stations, intelligence transportation stations, and transportation lines.

The generals and talents on the secret front of the CCP have all gone to the front line of intelligence.

Zhou Enlai is in Chongqing, a subsidiary of the National Government, and is responsible for liaison with the Kuomintang Central Committee and leading the secret work of the Southern Bureau of the Communist Party of China. Lin Boqu is in Xi'an, the capital of Shaanxi Province, and Xie Juezai is in Lanzhou, the capital of Gansu Province. His public position is the representative of Eighth Route Army Office, and he also leads underground work in the northwest. Shenzhen-Chahar-Hebei Border Region is the largest base outside the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region. Du Liqing changed his name to Xu Jianguo and served as the Minister of the Social Department of the Northern Branch. An old security cadre Tan Zhengwen was transferred to the Jinsui Branch as Minister of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Director of the General Public Security Bureau. Pan Hannian, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Social Security, carried out work in Shanghai and Hong Kong.

The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army fighting in the front also added full-time intelligence agencies.

The army of various countries has always had reconnaissance departments, generally as the second department of the headquarters, one is responsible for combat and the second department is responsible for intelligence, which shows the importance of military intelligence to the army. The senior agencies of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were very streamlined, and intelligence work was placed in the Staff Office. Now, the Central Committee and the Military Commission have vigorously improved their position in intelligence work, and a full-time intelligence department must be added in the front.

The front headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was established in October 1941. The director was Zuo Quan, deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army (after Zuo Quan died, he was Teng Daiyuan), and the deputy director Xiang Benli, who had four departments, including intelligence, military reconnaissance, technical reconnaissance, and blasting. Lin Yi, the chief of the Intelligence Section, was originally the Secretary-General of the Central Social Department. At the end of 1940, he led the working group to the former general manager from Yan'an. Here, there was the radio technology reconnaissance agency under Qian Jiang, and now it has also joined the intelligence department. The 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Military Region , and the 129th Division and the Taihang Military Region , also established intelligence departments accordingly. According to the division of labor, the main task of the former General Intelligence Department is strategic intelligence, and the main task of the intelligence departments of each military region is combat and tactical intelligence.

The brigade commander of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army and the commander of the Taiyue Military Region , Chen Geng, was once the chief of the intelligence section of the Central Special Section and was a military leader who was proficient in intelligence business. Chen Geng first caught intelligence when fighting, and invaded Chen Tao in the Japanese spy squad of Linfen . In the autumn of 1943, the Japanese army launched a "mopping up" against the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi. Linfen Intelligence Station caught the Japanese military's combat plan in advance and discovered the Japanese officers' visit to the battle group's schedule. Chen Geng deployed, Wang Jinshan commanded the ambush in Hanluo Village, and wiped out more than 180 Japanese officers in one fell swoop, including one major general brigade commander and six colonels. The Liberation Daily praised this as a glorious example of ambush battle behind enemy lines, and the Central Social Department issued an internal power to commend the Linfen Intelligence Station.

The New Fourth Army is closest to the big cities behind enemy lines, and various units have extended their secret tentacles to cities such as Shanghai, Nanjing, and Hangzhou. Xu Qiang and others who were formerly stayed in Shanghai, the intelligence system led by Pan Hannian, the intelligence system led by Liu Shaowen of the Southern Bureau, and the intelligence work of the Communist Party of China formed a cross-border network behind enemy lines to support each other.

sets up points, connects and networks, and the CCP’s intelligence work quickly forms a network covering the whole country. The secret working policy determined by the central government is: "Secretly and capable, long-term ambush, accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity." This policy avoids the impatience and exposure of the past and builds a long-term security system.
