August 15, 1945 is a day that must not be forgotten. Under the arduous struggle of all Chinese people, the Japanese invaders finally announced their unconditional surrender.
What followed was the domestic contradiction in China. Out of considerations for the masses and China's future, Chairman Mao decided to accept the invitation from Chiang Kai-shek to go to Chongqing to negotiate and strive for peaceful establishment of the country.
Although it is impossible to enter the tiger's den, how can a tiger's son be obtained, Chairman Mao's personal safety is crucial. Revolution cannot be separated from Chairman Mao, China cannot be separated from Chairman Mao, and the Chinese people cannot be separated from Chairman Mao.
"One dragon, two tigers and three rats" As Chairman Mao's red chariot, he escorted Chairman Mao's trip. Unexpectedly, the news was known to Dai Li and , Dai Li was confused: Chairman Mao still has a third uncle?
What is going on?
Deciding the time
Long before Japan was preparing to issue an announcement to surrender unconditionally, Chiang Kai-shek had already received the news that although Japan's surrender was an inevitable ending, he did not expect it to be so quickly.
In a panic, Chiang Kai-shek was preparing to call Okamura Yasuji to inform him to surrender to the Kuomintang troops and He Yingqin , while planning how to delay time so that he could mobilize his troops to occupy a favorable situation and launch a civil war in .

Result after thinking about it, there is only one way to negotiate. Is Chiang Kai-shek determined to harm Chairman Mao in the Chongqing negotiations? can be seen from the "Diary of Chiang Kai-shek" stored at Stanford University Researcher Hoover at the United States.
"I consider the Communist Party issues solemnly and dare not have any slightest confusion. I will never give up some excuses from both inside and outside, or cause trouble again. In the end, only destiny will be followed."
In fact, Chiang Kai-shek was also timid. He didn't know whether Chairman Mao came to Chongqing to make an appointment, but he would never dare to kill Chairman Mao openly.
was afraid of carrying a crooked reputation and condemning him internationally. In the end, he had to be sure that Chairman Mao would not dare to come to Chongqing to make an appointment. In this way, he could take the opportunity to put the hat of "rejecting peace" on the Communist Party of China.
As a result, Chairman Mao went to the appointment. Chairman Mao, who had a great and gaze, wrote a report to the Party Central Committee before Japan surrendered on August 10. "Decision on the Mission of Our Army after Japan's Surrender"
In the report, he pointed out: There must be a life-and-death struggle with the Kuomintang. Chairman Mao, who had fought with Chiang Kai-shek for decades, could he not understand what his old opponent was thinking.
Chiang Kai-shek's decision to negotiate in Chongqing was forced by Chairman Mao. The Eighth Route Army troops in various liberated areas launched a final attack on the Japanese and puppet troops who were still resisting. If he took a step further, the situation would be even more unfavorable to him.
On the other hand, internationally, the Soviet Union and the United States are staring at China. Stalin once sent a telegram to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, praising Chairman Mao for taking the path of "peace" and advocating him to go to Chongqing to make an appointment.
The United States is also very concerned. In this way, an imperative peaceful negotiation was decided in Chongqing. Although Chiang Kai-shek did not reveal any unusual ideas about Chairman Mao, he was prepared for any accidents. Chairman Mao's personal safety has always been the first priority.
At the time Chairman Mao decided to go to Chongqing for an appointment, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held a preparatory meeting on how to protect Chairman Mao during his time in Chongqing, and discussed how to make full preparations to protect Chairman Mao.
Zhou Enlai Premier Zhou said at the meeting: "My suggestion is that the Chairman should not go first, let me go to Chongqing first. First, we can explore the situation. Second, if there is really any problem, the Chairman's safety will not be threatened."
As a result, Chairman Mao disagreed, "Is Enlai's safety not important? Besides, the person invited me, and if I don't go, wouldn't he give them a shit pot to me?" Are you the reason for detaining them? "
" What are you afraid of? Even if you are under house arrest, I am not afraid of it. The current situation is beneficial to us, and the Soviet Union and the United States are both waiting and watching. Chongqing can go, but it must go."
Finally, under Chairman Mao's insistence, the Party Central Committee finally went with Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou, and Comrade Wang Ruofei, who is the Secretary-General of the CPC Central Committee.
million full preparation
However, at the meeting, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China still made the worst plan and proposed that if there were problems in the trip to Chongqing, Comrade Liu Shaoqi would take over the position of Chairman Mao, and Chen Yun and Peng Zhen would be alternate secretaries. After the meeting, Premier Zhou immediately sent a secret message to Eighth Route Army Office in Chongqing to make full preparations for Chairman Mao’s trip to Chongqing. In addition to accommodation, food and transportation security, guard work is the top priority.
After explaining to Chongqing's Eighth Route Army Office , Premier Zhou also made two preparations and sent a team of guards to protect Chairman Mao, for fear that someone would tamper with the plane.
But who should I choose for this guard? In addition to being alert, quick and meticulous, it is best to have experience. Premier Zhou immediately thought of Long Feihu and Chen Long.
At the time of Xi'an Incident, Premier Zhou rushed to Xi'an to promote a peaceful resolution of the matter. At that time, Long Feihu and Chen Long were responsible for defending Premier Zhou's safety.
In addition to Long Feihu and Chen Long, there is also Yan Tailong . Yan Tailong is a fellow villager of Comrade He Zizhen. The old Red Army who came from Jinggangshan has participated in Long March and is definitely a good player in abilities;
Qi Jishu, Chairman Mao’s personal guard squad, responsible for taking care of Chairman Mao’s life, Shu Guangcai and Qi Jishu are recommended sharpshooters, with a magical shooting skills. There are 6 people in
. Premier Zhou has been busy for most of the day and finally decided on the candidate. I believe that Chairman Mao’s safety will be guaranteed. When he was breathing a sigh of relief, Li Kenong next to him thought about it with a list.
"Chen Long, Yan Tailong, Long Feihu, these are two dragons and one tiger. Good guy, with dragons and tigers, no monsters can harm Chairman Mao!"
"No, there are three rats." Premier Zhou reminded Li Kenong that Qi Jishu, Shu Guangcai, Qi Jishu, the names of the three have the word "rat", and Shu, Shu, Shu and Shu are homophones with "rat".
Li Kenong laughed, "Yes, yes, there are three rats! One tiger, two dragons and three rats, it's even better now." is really a coincidence, and the names of the 6 people have this interesting connection.
Results After hearing this statement, Chairman Mao said with great interest: "The dragon, tiger, and rat are all for them. Wouldn't I be able to be anything? I don't even have the chance to be a mouse drilling hole!"
In fact, Chairman Mao was also worried about this move. The country has suffered from war for many years, its economy has declined, and the people's lives are also miserable.
"It is best to be negotiated to build a country peacefully, so that it is a good thing for the country and the people. Even for the Hongmen Banquet, I don't want to be that Pei Gong, let alone the overlord."
Just like that, under the protection of "one tiger, two dragons and three rats", Chairman Mao, who had the hope of "peaceful country building", set off on a plane specially sent by Chiang Kai-shek to Chongqing.
leaks the news?
On the other hand, in Chongqing, the news of Chairman Mao's departure was in full swing. What was most surprised by was Dai Li, the leader of the Military Control Commission, who was the most powerful subordinate of Chiang Kai-shek.
After hearing the news, he went to Chiang Kai-shek to ask what to do next. Chiang Kai-shek said meaningfully, which made Dai Li unable to understand the reason.
"Protect Mao Zedong's safety. If there is a problem, I will send you to the International Court of Justice." In response to his biggest opponent, Chiang Kai-shek asked Dai Li to protect him. Didn’t
kill him? Dai Li never asked this question in his heart. In fact, he didn't know that Chongqing became the focus of everyone's attention at that time, and the reporters from various countries gathered here became Chairman Mao's "protection talisman".
Chiang Kai-shek did not dare, and Dai Li naturally did not dare either. He obeyed the order and sent several teams of spies to prepare to protect Chairman Mao's safety. This behavior also made the guards who were originally responsible for Chairman Mao's safety very nervous.
"One tiger, two dragons, three uncles? What are these? Especially this third uncle, why have you never heard of this? Why did you come to negotiate and take Uncle San to travel around and enjoy the mountains and rivers?"
Dai Li was very confused after receiving the list of Chairman Mao's entourage provided by his subordinates. His subordinates wrote "Three Rats" as "Three Uncle", and Dai Li thought it was really Chairman Mao's third uncle who came with him.
This made Dai Li angry. With such a nervous protection, Chairman Mao took his family to travel around and went to Chiang Kai-shek with the list.
Chiang Kai-shek didn't understand why, so he wanted to meet who this "third uncle" was and asked Dai Li to arrange it. The cautious Dai Li sent a team of spies to protect Chiang Kai-shek, and the group came straight to the Linyuan where Chairman Mao was staying.
Who is this third uncle? Dai Li was unsure and found Premier Zhou Enlai, who had worked in Chongqing for many years, and wanted to get the secret of his third uncle from Premier Zhou.
"What third uncle?" Premier Zhou didn't understand at first, but then he realized, "What third uncle, three rats, our guards are called one tiger, two dragons and three rats!"
Dai Li suddenly realized after hearing this, and secretly scolded his subordinates and made himself too nervous. Chairman Mao and his party calmly made the once arrogant Dai Li begin to suspicion.
At the banquet the day before, Chairman Mao happily clinked glasses with Chiang Kai-shek, not afraid that someone would poison the water cup, which gave Dai Li a headache when he received the protection order.
Then when he told Chiang Kai-shek the truth, Chiang Kai-shek had no reaction and asked him to continue to do a good job in security, so he had a simple conversation with Chairman Mao.
According to Chiang Kai-shek's aide Chen Bulei recollection, Chiang Kai-shek came back after the conversation with Chairman Mao Lin Yuan and revealed to him: This person should not be despised. He heard that he was addicted to cigarettes as if he was alive, but he didn't smoke a cigarette during the conversation with me. He should not underestimate his determination and spirit!
What Chiang Kai-shek didn't know was that Chairman Mao had already made complete preparations just to reach a "peace agreement" with him. However, Chiang Kai-shek had no preparations and had to take the lead in everything.
Chairman Mao didn't care about this. Since Chiang Kai-shek was not prepared, then follow our plan. Chiang Kai-shek naturally did not really want to negotiate, so he always sent the plan proposed by Chairman Mao with one sentence "think again".
, after a while, it took 43 days to . But I was so sad that I followed "one tiger, two dragons and three rats" and went deep into the tiger's den. The six people did not dare to be careless at all, and the guards did not even close at all for 24 hours.
. Dai Li arranged a lot of spies near Linyuan, called protection, but in fact he was monitoring the movements of Chairman Mao and his group. Long Feihu raised his heart to his throat, and couldn't stand it after a few days.
He found Premier Zhou and said, "Prime Minister, this is not a solution. We have few people and not enough strength. Sooner or later, we will be tired. If we neglect at that time, we are afraid that there will be problems with the Chairman's safety."
Premier Zhou also felt that this was not possible, so he suggested that Chairman Mao move to the Chongqing Eighth Route Army Office, which has a large number of people there, and Premier Zhou also arranged the guard forces.
After a few days, Chairman Mao also saw the hard work of Long Feihu, Chen Long and others, so he agreed to Premier Zhou's suggestion and moved into the Eighth Route Army Office of Hongyan Village.
Chairman Mao is working hard to seek happiness for the future of the Chinese people and fighting wits and courage with Chiang Kai-shek, and is also worried about his guards. He is truly a great man of his generation.
Turning danger into danger
The result of the Chongqing negotiations was that the two sides signed a peace agreement, but history has long proved that Chiang Kai-shek was not sincere. So when Chairman Mao was about to leave, he developed a "killing intention".
On October 8, 1945, he issued an order to Dai Li, "Let the tiger return to the mountain, there will be endless troubles." He wanted to take advantage of Chairman Mao's departure to kill Chairman Mao on the plane.
"The Diary of Chiang Kai-shek" also records, "The culprit of such a great crime (referring to Chairman Mao), if there is no trial and treatment, how can I die for the spirit of the military and civilians in heaven?"
He decided to seize and judge Chairman Mao, but he found a reason to comfort the military and civilians who died for the War of Resistance. It was extremely absurd, and Dai Li was also very strange. He had obviously wanted to protect Chairman Mao's safety before, but now he wanted him to kill Chairman Mao.
But he still did as he did, but why did Chairman Mao return to Yan'an safely in the end? This has to mention the "one tiger, two dragons, three rats" and another person who are responsible for protecting Chairman Mao's safety.
This person is Zhang Zhizhong . Although Zhang Zhizhong is Chiang Kai-shek's subordinate and is deeply trusted, he himself is extremely supportive of peace, especially against Chiang Kai-shek's civil war.
He learned about Dai Li's plan to kill Chairman Mao. He immediately passed the news to Premier Zhou, and then went to find Chiang Kai-shek in person.
"It's been more than a month since I said everything I should say, and the agreement has been signed. Now that the principal (Cheng Kai-shek) is leaving, he is still increasingly blocking him. Why is this?"
Zhang Zhizhong's words made Chiang Kai-shek furious. He was obviously his subordinate, but now he is standing opposite. Before he was about to take off, the next words made him hesitate.
"Even if he was killed today (Chairman Mao), the whole world is looking at us. How should we explain in the future? It is not him who is treacherous, but we will be us."
Chairman Mao successfully returned to Yan'an
Chiang Kai-shek wanted to put Chairman Mao at the point of betrayal, but now he pushed himself to the stall where the black gun was fired behind him. He hesitated. Dai Li did not receive the order to take action for a long time, and as a result, he let Chairman Mao get on the plane and leave.
result Chiang Kai-shek regretted it. On October 13, 1945, the third day after Chairman Mao left, he secretly issued an order to prepare to launch an attack on the Communist army. At the end of October, the 30th Army of the Kuomintang and the 440th Army of the Communist Party invaded the Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan Liberated Area.
Chairman Mao was relieved when he returned to Yan'an. He personally found Chen Long and gave him the watch he had worn for many years. It can be said that "one tiger, two dragons and three rats" protected Chairman Mao's safety and indirectly made great contributions to the Chinese revolution.
