In 1955, New China held its first conferment ceremony, but at such a busy moment, Premier Zhou's official staff prepared a sumptuous banquet in the Zhongnanhai reception room in Beijing.
staff all speculated about this, , which marshal or general the Prime Minister might be entertaining for a banquet, which is why there is such a scene, otherwise the always frugal Prime Minister would not be so extravagant.
But while the staff were talking a lot, they saw two young people, led by the Prime Minister's Secretary, all the way to the reception room, and then sat upright at the banquet.
This scene stunned the staff. Where did these two stupid boys come from? Is this a treat from the Prime Minister? But what surprised the staff even more was yet to come. After
the Prime Minister saw the two young men sitting down, himself immediately arrived and told us not to disturb us if there was nothing else important.
Now all the staff started talking, who are these two young people? Why would they let the Prime Minister take it so seriously? Let’s take a closer look at the story behind this incident.
General Ye Ting
Ye Ting who abandoned darkness and turned to the light
To understand this matter, we need to get to know a person first. His name is Ye Ting, who followed Mr. Sun Yat-sen in his early years. He was not only good at handwriting, but also able to carry out revolution on horseback, and was able to march and fight without hesitation. Can't.
performed extremely bravely during the Northern Expedition . He became a general at a young age and his future was unlimited. Just when he thought he had a bright future, bad news suddenly came.
Mr. Sun Yat-sen passed away unfortunately, and then Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei stole the fruits of the revolution, betrayed the revolution and launched the "April 12" coup .
Chiang Kai-shek also wanted to win over Ye Ting, but Ye Ting only wanted to follow Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary aspirations and despised the actions of the Kuomintang rightists. Therefore, he resolutely joined the Communist Party and went to Nanchang with Premier Zhou to participate in the Nanchang Uprising.
Later, the Anti-Japanese United Front was established, and General Ye Ting was appointed as the commander of the New Fourth Army. Together with Zuo Quan, he led the New Fourth Army to fight against the Japanese invaders.
New Fourth Army
But Chiang Kai-shek's regime did not want to truly resist Japan, so it launched another counter-revolutionary coup, the "Southern Anhui Incident", stabbing Ye Ting in the back. Zuo Quan died on the spot, and Ye Ting was also arrested and imprisoned by the Kuomintang for many years.
Chiang Kai-shek admired Ye Ting's talent very much, so in prison, Chiang Kai-shek always wanted to recruit Ye Ting, but Ye Ting remained unmoved by Chiang Kai-shek's coercion and inducement.
even wrote " Prison Song " in prison to express his determination and sincerity towards the revolution and the fight against the Japanese invaders to overthrow the Chiang family regime. This shows how firm Ye Ting's revolutionary will is, so this also made Chiang Kai-shek very angry.
Released Ye Ting and defected to our party
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, facing the public opinion of the democratic parties and the people, the Kuomintang decided to release Ye Ting on March 4, 1946, before the negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
After Ye Ting was released from prison, he decided to go to Yan'an and join our party. What he has been thinking about all these years is that he hopes that the revolution can achieve final victory!
New Fourth Army
Therefore, he believed that he could only achieve victory in the revolution by going to Yan'an and under the command of the party. At this time, our party was also actively preparing to negotiate with the Kuomintang.
But in fact, the Kuomintang did not want peace talks, so the negotiations were deadlocked several times. It happened that General Ye Ting was released from prison. Seeing that the negotiations could not be held smoothly, our party representative Wang Ruofei decided to fly back to Yan'an with Ye Ting's family.
Ye Ting was very excited when he knew he could return to Yan'an. He immediately informed his wife to prepare her bags. After packing everything, she boarded the plane to Yan'an on April 8.
After seeing his comrades on the plane, Ye Ting was excited and relieved, and kept looking forward to the scene when he went to Yan'an. The pilot of the plane was the experienced captain Smith, who was an old friend of our party, so the safety of the plane was Sex was guaranteed.
After taking off, Ye Ting and Wang Ruofei chatted about the past and revolutionary ideas. Ye Ting was very excited when he heard Wang Ruofei talk about the heroic performance of our party during the Anti-Japanese War. At the same time, he was also imprisoned and could not participate. It's a pity to struggle.
New Fourth Army
But Wang Ruofei told Ye Ting that there must be more important tasks waiting for them in the future. It turned out that during the negotiation process between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Chiang Kai-shek and others were ambitious. They did not want to peacefully liberate the whole of China, but might launch another attack. war.
But today's China can no longer withstand any blow. In order to achieve peace as soon as possible and allow the people to be truly liberated, Wang Ruofei shoulders an important task at this time.
That is to return to Yan'an and tell Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou and other leaders about the specific negotiations, and renegotiate the strategy so that China can restore peace as soon as possible.
At this time, Ye Ting was eager to try. He thought that he could liberate the whole of China with our party in the future. He was full of hope. While they were chatting, Captain Smith told them to go to Xi'an to replenish fuel.
The aviation industry was not developed at that time, and planes could not arrive in a straight line, so from Chongqing to Yan'an, fuel supplies were inevitably needed on the way.
The New Fourth Army
There were not many planes at that time, and there were only a few airports in the country, so the planes could only temporarily land in Xi'an to refuel.
General Ye Ting expressed his understanding, but he did not expect that it started to rain lightly before landing in Xi'an. Since aerospace technology was not developed at the time, such weather was likely to affect the flight.
But Smith swore that there would never be a big problem, because he has rich experience in flying airplanes, and the weather is not actually very bad, so it will not hinder the flight of the airplane.
At this time, Ye Ting and the others were relieved and hoped to go to Yan'an as soon as possible, and the leaders of Yan'an were already ready and waiting for the plane to arrive.
Even many ordinary people came out to beat gongs and drums with the leaders to welcome this people's hero home. Although they looked at the gloomy sky, their mood at this time was extremely bright.
The New Fourth Army
A bolt from the blue, the bad news came
Seeing that the sky was getting gloomier and gloomier, but the plane was still not coming, which made Yan'an feel that something was wrong. Logically speaking, at this time, the plane should have arrived long ago, why did you look at it? It's almost dark and the plane hasn't arrived yet?
Chairman Mao's face changed. He realized the seriousness of the situation. In order not to affect other people's emotions, he called a few trusted people to discuss it in private and decided to contact the personnel at Xi'an Airport first and ask them. Where to go after refueling.
As a result, the news from the airport personnel in Xi'an was that General Ye Ting's plane flew away normally after replenishing fuel, and there was nothing unusual about it. It seems that the route before Xi'an is normal, so where did the plane go?
At that time, communication technology was underdeveloped, and there were no monitors in aviation, so our party could only arrange for personnel from various places to closely monitor the traffic of aircraft and collect information about the aircraft as soon as possible.
In fact, at this time, everyone was aware that General Ye Ting's plane might have had an accident, but there was no definite news and I couldn't be sure.
The New Fourth Army
After they waited anxiously for three days, news finally came from Hechashan, less than a few hundred miles away from Yan'an. General Ye Ting's plane had indeed crashed, and they found the wreckage of the plane at the scene.
After investigating the scene, the central government received a telegram message: The plane on which Ye Ting and others were traveling crashed, and all the crew members, including the crew, were not spared.
This news is like a thunderbolt in the clear sky for our party. General Ye Ting finally survived five years in prison. He has obviously been released. Why did the plane suddenly crash? Moreover, during the critical period of negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, at this sensitive stage, there was only one person who wanted to kill Ye Ting!
Faced with the Kuomintang's difficulties and ambitions, the Communist Party had guessed early on that General Ye Ting's plane crash was likely to be related to the Kuomintang. However, there was no concrete evidence, and it was difficult for our party to make public accusations.
So our party immediately sent aviation professionals to the location of the plane crash to check whether clues could be found for analysis. Everyone is confused, why does the plane crash for no reason?
And it was obviously fine when we set off from Xi'an again. How could we suddenly change direction and head to the Black Tea Mountain in the northeast when we arrived in Yan'an? Although there was light rain in the sky at that time, it did not hinder the flight. Was it really caused by the weather?
New Fourth Army
Why did the plane crash?
Fortunately, there was also a black box on the plane. The black box recorded the situation before the plane crashed, so our party found technicians to restore the data in the black box.
Judging from the sound presented by the black box, they started flying smoothly after leaving Xi'an Airport, but before arriving in Yan'an, they suddenly flew rapidly toward the northeast.
At that time, the crew tried their best to make an emergency landing, but due to the failure of the emergency landing, the plane hit the Black Tea Mountain 80 miles southeast of in Xing County, under the influence of inertial force.
It is obvious that the change of direction of the plane must not be accidental. There must be some reason why the crew cannot control the plane. Moreover, the flight altitude of the plane is much higher than the altitude of Heicha Mountain. How could it hit Heicha Mountain at once? What is the reason why
failed to crash? You must know that Captain Smith has extremely rich flying experience. The heavy fog weather in the past will not hinder Captain Smith's flight. It is definitely not the weather, but there is something wrong with the aircraft itself.
reports
But now that the plane has been destroyed, and coupled with limited technology, it is impossible to find the real cause of the plane crash. Ultimately we can only judge from the weather perspective.
Perhaps hailstones appeared in the sky over Xi'an later, which affected Captain Smith's judgment, and it may also be the real reason for the destruction of the aircraft.
At the same time, the hail was accompanied by rain and fog, which cut off Captain Smith's line of sight, causing the route to deviate. Due to various reasons, he finally hit the Black Tea Mountain.
Everything is blamed on the weather, which does sound reasonable, but it feels too coincidental. Moreover, a small hailstone can damage an aircraft, which our party cannot believe.
There is no conclusive evidence and no obvious clues. Our party can only swallow this breath and cannot avenge the death of General Ye Ting, so it can only implement this report. The announcement of also says that General Ye Ting and Wang Ruofei Others died in a plane crash caused by weather.
reports
This conclusion is really depressing, but there is nothing we can do about it. You know, they were flying on an American plane. It is incredible that an American plane could be killed due to weather conditions.
This conclusion has also aroused discussions among people from all walks of life. Since the remains of General Ye Ting were not found, our party can only hold a memorial service for General Ye Ting.
As a national hero, General Ye Ting originally thought he would be prosperous. Unexpectedly, General Ye Ting died in an accident. This made people sigh with regret, so the people of Yan'an spontaneously went to the memorial service to express their condolences.
On the day of the memorial service, the Kuomintang also sent condolences. It seemed that this incident had nothing to do with the Kuomintang, but our party did not think the matter was that simple, so it secretly made up its mind to give an explanation to General Ye Ting.
According to the information displayed on the black box, the plane was about to arrive in Yan'an that day, but it changed direction midway and flew towards the Black Tea Mountain in the northeast. Is this normal?
Oil painting
Premier Zhou, who has worked underground for many years, has extensive experience in judging that things must be abnormal. This is also what he has been harboring for many years.Even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, when facing Ye Ting's two sons, he bluntly said that Ye Ting's sacrifice must be a fraud!
During this period, Premier Zhou seemed to be busy with national affairs. In fact, he had never forgotten Ye Ting's plane crash. He and Ye Ting were sworn friends, so Premier Zhou was determined to seek justice for Ye Ting.
At that time, our party still had speculations that the plane crash might be related to the Kuomintang agents. After Chiang Kai-shek launched a coup to seize power, in order to consolidate his rule, he established the Military Command and Central Command .
What they are best at is secret assassination, so it is not impossible to guess that Chiang Kai-shek ordered the spies to do something on the plane in order to suppress dissidents.
Ye Ting's son Ye Zhengda deeply agrees. He understands his father's ambition very well. For many years in prison, Chiang Kai-shek kept trying to imprison his father, but his father flatly refused. Can Chiang Kai-shek be willing to do so? What's more, just after he was released from prison, his father defected to the Communist Party, which was tantamount to a slap in Chiang Kai-shek's face.
The Southern Anhui Incident
But the consequences of Ye Ting’s plane crash can only be borne by our party. Premier Zhou also reluctantly explained to Ye Zhengda that if we want to make a rash decision that it was the Kuomintang, then the Kuomintang is very likely to use this to provoke, may even launch another attack In war, for the sake of the overall situation, we can only swallow our anger.
But his father could not just die inexplicably, so Ye Zheng demanded that he must find out the true cause of his father's death in the future.
It is precisely because of the plane crash of General Ye Ting that our party understands that we must never take the Kuomintang lightly again. Therefore, our party will be extremely vigilant in the future negotiation process.
Even when coming and going, he was required to be accompanied by senior Kuomintang officials before entering and exiting. Even when signing the Double Ten Agreement, in order to ensure the safety of Chairman Mao, he was required to accompany Dai Li, so as to ensure his own safety.
After the founding of New China, our party still did not give up the investigation into the cause of General Ye Ting's accidental death. After Gu Yizhi accepted the appointment from Premier Zhou, he secretly traveled to the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
The Southern Anhui Incident
In 1984, after various investigations and clues, Hong Kong's " Ta Kung Pao " published an article, which pointed to the plane crash of General Ye Ting. The article analyzed it from a professional perspective, weather issues and other aspects, and pointed out many doubts. .
For example, if the plane is flying southwest, what causes it to turn northeast? And if the weather is foggy, Captain Smith has encountered too many fogs.
Moreover, he has flown this route from Yan'an to Chongqing more than once. The route must be very familiar. How could the plane change direction due to blurred vision?
This article immediately caused a sensation. Everyone believed that the plane crashed that day was absolutely impossible. It was not just due to the weather. At this time, Ye Ting's son Ye Zhengda was admitted to a university majoring in aviation.
He devoted himself to studying the aircraft problem, hoping to find clues and find out the truth about his father's death that day. Ye Zhengda's professionalism helped him a lot and he could analyze it from a professional perspective.

The flight altitude of the US plane that day was already more than 6,000 feet above the ground. The altitude of Black Tea Mountain is only more than 2,000 meters. It can completely cross Black Tea Mountain. How could it directly hit Black Tea Mountain.
Unless the plane was out of control at the time, then it was the plane's problem, not the weather. Who tampered with the plane?
originally thought that these speculations might be drowned in the vast sea of people, and there would be no confirmation. It was not until fifty years after Ye Ting's death that the truth finally came.
Fifty years after Ye Ting’s plane crash, the truth came out
There was an old man named Du Jitang in Taiwan. Before he died, he asked his children to tell him that he must publish a news after he left. This news is to restore justice. The truth of the matter is the real cause of General Ye Ting's plane crash!
It turned out that someone had indeed tampered with Ye Ting's plane when the plane crashed that day, and this person was Du Jitang. At that time, he served as the captain of the Sino-US special agent and advised the Kuomintang.
Ye Tingjun
Du Jitang dictated that after Ye Ting was released from prison, the Kuomintang learned that he was going to Yan'an, so they had murderous intentions towards Ye Ting. But in order to maintain the image and face of the Kuomintang, they decided to secretly murder Ye Ting.
then finally decided to tamper with Ye Ting's plane, so that he could kill Ye Ting without leaving any traces. After Du Jitang received this task, he thought that the aircraft scheduling problem was the responsibility of Wang Pinghu, the chief of the Air Force's Scheduling Section.
Wang Pinghu was backed by the military commander, so Du Jitang secretly found Wang Pinghu. Wang Pinghu was very excited when he knew about this task. You must know how much credit it would be if Ye Ting died because of him.
So after Wang Pinghu retrieved Ye Ting's plane, route and time to Yan'an, he immediately informed the military commander, who immediately asked Wang Pinghu to cooperate with Du Jitang to complete the matter.
In order to deceive others, Du Jitang, as the captain of the Sino-US special agent team, found the United States to manage relations, and then discussed whether to use pistols to assassinate, install time bombs and other strategies.
Ye Tingjun
But in order to make the accident more subtle and not find him, Du Jitang decided that it would be best if there was something wrong with the plane to remove the suspicion.
So Du Jitang found Wang Pinghu. After the two discussed it, Wang Pinghu pretended to tell Smith that he wanted to repair and inspect the aircraft. There was nothing strange about such a routine inspection.
But he didn’t expect Wang Pinghu to be put directly into the hands of Du Jitang pretending to be a maintenance worker. He came to the plane and deliberately destroyed the aircraft and other equipment.
Therefore, the aircraft driven by Smith was actually damaged long ago. Therefore, when facing hail and heavy fog, the aircraft did not operate well at all, which resulted in Smith being unable to control the aircraft. In the end,
could only rely on Smith's experience to control the plane, but at this time the plane could no longer stop, and could not make an emergency landing or rise. It eventually hit the Black Tea Mountain, causing the plane to crash and killing everyone.

After the incident, Du Jitang's conscience has been deeply condemned. He knew that he had done a wrong thing, but he was obsessed with helping Chiang Kai-shek that day, making Du Jitang unable to face the fact of General Ye Ting's death.
And he was also deeply afraid that he would be caught by the Communist Party's anti-corruption team, so after the Kuomintang defeated Taiwan, he had no choice but to follow Chiang Kai-shek to Taiwan.
Even after coming to Taiwan, Du Jitang was still suffering in his heart. He lived under the shadow of General Ye Ting's death every day. The mission he had planned and completed now was like a shackle tightly binding his conscience.
Therefore, Du Jitang has been in poor health for decades. Finally, before he died, he did not want to take this secret away, so he chose to tell the public to let people understand the real culprit who killed Ye Ting that day and the criminal face of the Kuomintang.
Although fifty years have passed since this incident, our party has never given up on the truth about the death of General Ye Ting. Now that the truth has been revealed, in addition to making people sigh with regret, they can only condemn the criminal actions of the Kuomintang that day.
