Dai Li As the spy leader of the Kuomintang, he was deeply trusted by Chiang Kai-shek; and Lin Biao, as a senior general of the People's Liberation Army and former disciple of Chiang Kai-shek, was deeply favored by Chiang Kai-shek.
In 1941, Lin Biao returned from recuperating from the Soviet Union. He needed to pass through Xi'an, the Kuomintang's headquarters. When Chiang Kai-shek learned about it, he hoped to send Dai Li to contact Lin Biao and try to persuade Lin Biao to join the national army.
As a result, Chiang Kai-shek did not wait for the good news from Dai Li. Instead, Lin Biao led the Eighth Route Army to win steadily on the battlefield. Chiang Kai-shek was very suspicious of the secret talks between Dai Li and Lin Biao.
1946 Dai Li died of a plane crash. 25 years later, in 1971, the content of his conversation with Lin Biao was known to Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek was furious and said, "Yunnong (Dai Li, whose name is "Yunnong") ruined my big deal!"
So, What was the content of Dai Li and Lin Biao's conversation? Why didn’t Dai Li tell Chiang Kai-shek a long time ago?
tried to win over
In February 1938, a serious misunderstanding occurred. Lin Biao was wearing a captured Japanese coat and was patrolling the battlefield. He was suddenly mistakenly considered by a sentry from the Jinsui Army and saw a bullet penetrated from his right armpit through his left back.
It was this shot that was accidentally injured by a friendly army that left Lin Biao with sequelae that plagued him throughout his life.
In order to better heal the wounds, Lin Biao was immediately sent to the Soviet Union for treatment.
3, in October 1941, after a period of cultivation, Lin Biao was ready to return to China to continue commanding the war.
Lin Biao had to pass through Xi'an on his way back to China, which was under the jurisdiction of the National Army at that time. Our party hoped that the Kuomintang would take care of Lin Biao as a hero of the War of Resistance and a child of Huangpu. As soon as the news of
was released, it caused huge discussions within the national army. Because Lin Biao had previously gained popularity in the Pingxingguan victory, many generals within the national army paid tribute to Lin Biao.
And many people in the National Army were from Huangpu at that time, and they were even students of the same class as Lin Biao. Although they belong to different camps, everyone still hopes to put aside their prejudices and sit down to reminisce about the past.
After Chiang Kai-shek learned of the news, he felt that this was the best opportunity to win over Lin Biao, so he called Hu Zongnan and asked him to go and carry out the important task of instigating Lin Biao.
Hu Zongnan was sent to conduct preliminary contact work first. At that time, Hu Zongnan was responsible for the military operations in Xi'an and was also a student of the first phase of Huangpu. In terms of seniority, he was Lin Biao's senior brother, so the two could still talk.
Hu Zongnan is versatile and very good at socializing. He is also Chiang Kai-shek's confidant general. Chiang Kai-shek trusts this student very much.
Hu Zongnan attaches great importance to this matter. First, he can show himself in front of the principal. If he can successfully win over it, it will definitely be a great contribution. Secondly, he also wanted to have a good exchange with this junior, and he also respected Lin Biao very much during this period.
Hu Zongnan and Lin Biao had a great conversation after meeting, especially when talking about their respective views on military affairs, he was even more surprised. However, Hu Zongnan seemed to have forgotten the mission of this trip.
Hu Zongnan did not do well in the rebellion work. Chiang Kai-shek probably expected Hu Zongnan's ability to do things, so he sent Dai Li to talk to Lin Biao.
As Chiang Kai-shek's confidant general, Dai Li was naturally given high hopes.
Since Xi'an Incident Dai Li saved Chiang Kai-shek at an emergency, he has gained Chiang Kai-shek's trust and often performs many important tasks.
Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek is full of hope for this action of winning over.
The former second generation of Northeast King Zhang Xueliang was also attracted by Chiang Kai-shek, so this time he will do his best to win over Lin Biao.
Dai Li was already in the director of of the Military Bureau of at that time, but he was still a student of the sixth phase of Huangpu and was Lin Biao's junior brother. So after Dai Li received the task, he rushed to see this senior brother without stopping.
After coming to Xi'an, Hu Zongnan and Dai Li were sworn brothers, Hu Zongnan also tried his best to cooperate with Dai Li's request.
, and Dai Li asked Hu Zongnan to transfer all of his people, and he wanted to talk to Lin Biao alone.
naturally Hu Zongnan didn't think much about it, and then took everyone away. He also withdrew from the conversation. Dai Li got a chance to get along with Lin Biao alone.
What did Lin and Dai talk about specifically, outsiders don’t know, but when Hu Zongnan called Dai Li, the person from told Hu Zongnan that Dai Li and Lin Biao had a good chat, and they had a night of chatting.
After Dai Li and Lin Biao finished their talk, Dai Li sent Lin Biao away with joy. It seemed that the big thing had been done. After returning, Dai Li wrote a detailed report on this conversation.
However, Just as Chiang Kai-shek asked whether Dai Li had successfully completed the task, Dai Li unexpectedly perfunctory Chiang Kai-shek, making Chiang Kai-shek think that the task had not been completed.
So I put this matter down and it was not until 1971 that I learned the truth about that year...
So, why did Chiang Kai-shek value Lin Biao so much? Two major confidants were sent to win over. What was the story between Chiang Kai-shek and Lin Biao before?
Four estrangements
As one of the top ten marshals in our country, Lin Biao's outstanding performance on the battlefield of liberation was the founding of New China. Although Chiang Kai-shek gritted his teeth at him, he had to admire his military command ability.
In fact, Lin Biao was once a student of the fourth period of Huangpu. The most regrettable thing about Chiang Kai-shek was not to retain the talent who caused him to suffer heavy losses back then.
It was understandable that Chiang Kai-shek did not notice Lin Biao back then, because Lin Biao was still very calm when he was still at Whampoa Military Academy . His introverted personality and mediocrity in his studies made Chiang Kai-shek never pay attention to this student at all.
Nie Rongzhen is also a student of the Whampoa Military Academy. He once commented that Lin Biao was mediocre in his studies and was not active in politics. This is why Chiang Kai-shek did not have much impression of Lin Biao.
The two had the only intersection at the Whampoa Military Academy, but Chiang Kai-shek failed to seize the opportunity and missed this talent.
In November 1925, Chiang Kai-shek was wandering around the campus and saw a classroom in class. The content was about a battle he had directed. So Chiang Kai-shek quietly sat in the back row and listened carefully.
After the teacher finished speaking, he asked the students to analyze the conditions for winning the battle, and then Lin Biao began to come on stage to answer.
He did not speak well because of his timidity, but his ability to draw pictures left a deep impression on Chiang Kai-shek.
Chiang Kai-shek had a good impression of this student, so he called Lin Biao to his office to talk after class.
After Chiang Kai-shek met Lin Biao, he felt that this man was mature and cunning.
However, Chiang Kai-shek felt that this was a talent, and he also wanted to recruit him. As a result, before he talked for a long time, Chiang Kai-shek left because of Wang Jingwei .
Because they left in a hurry and didn't say hello, the two began to have their first estrangement.
Lin Biao is a sensitive person. He thinks that Chiang Kai-shek's move is disrespectful to himself and hurt his self-esteem. At the same time, he also thinks that Chiang Kai-shek is a fickle person and is not suitable for dealing with.
However, Chiang Kai-shek was not aware of this. He found Lin Biao again a few months later, expressing his hope that he could work in the General Headquarters after graduation.
Although Lin Biao was very concerned about the previous incident, he was still very excited to hear that he could work in the General Command. He also hoped to go to the next level.
So, Lin Biao, who was not good at speaking, replied: "Thank you for your recognition and cultivation."
As a result, after hearing this, Chiang Kai-shek thought it was Lin Biao who tactfully rejected him. Chiang Kai-shek, who felt that he could not bear the face, did not consider Lin Biao's affairs anymore. He simply said that he would consider it later. From then on, the two embarked on different paths.
The two have a second estrangement because of this.
However, at that time, Chiang Kai-shek did not expect that this student would become his enemy in the future. When Lin Biao graduated, Chiang Kai-shek also learned about Lin Biao's situation through Chen Lifu .
After investigation, Chen Lifu told Chiang Kai-shek that Lin Biao was likely to have joined the Communist Party. Chiang Kai-shek began to doubt his judgment, so he once again cut off the idea of attracting Lin Biao under his command.
The two also had a third estrangement.
However, it was February 1933 that the two completely broke up.
At that time, Chiang Kai-shek sent the National Army to encircle and suppress the Soviet area. Lin Biao commanded the two battles of Huangpi and Caotaigang, annihilated three divisions of the National Army and captured more than 25,000 people at the same time.
Lin Biao became famous in one battle, and Chiang Kai-shek was also shocked by Lin Biao.
He was more angry when he regretted it, so he offered a reward of 100,000 yuan to win Lin Biao.
This is also the fourth time between the two.
After four incidents, Lin Biao and Chiang Kai-shek gradually drifted away, but Chiang Kai-shek was often shocked by Lin Biao's military talents. It was not until Lin Biao passed through Xi'an that he had the opportunity to win over him.
So, what was Dai Li’s secret report back then?
secret report exposed
Lin Biao has shown amazing military command ability since he led his troops independently to fight. In addition to repelling Chiang Kai-shek's encirclement and suppression commanded by him many times, he also achieved brilliant results on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War.
At that time, if you want to eliminate a Japanese invader, you had to pay the sacrifice of several Chinese soldiers. However, the Pingxingguan Battle commanded by Lin Biao created a miracle. The Eighth Route Army wiped out more than 1,000 Japanese invaders at the cost of more than 600 casualties, breaking the myth of the invincible Japanese invaders.
Lin Biao became famous all over the world for his battle in Pingxingguan, and even Chiang Kai-shek praised him for "annihilation of the enemy like a slaughter".
At that time, Chiang Kai-shek had no good impression of our army, and being able to give such an evaluation was already the highest praise from Chiang Kai-shek. In this way, Chiang Kai-shek naturally longed to recruit Lin Biao under his command.
However, Dai Li was vague after seeing Lin Biao, which made Chiang Kai-shek think that Lin Biao had rejected Dai Li.
failed to attract Lin Biao to his command. He was a permanent scar for Chiang Kai-shek. He would be severely injured by his former students on the battlefield of liberation.
Before Liaoshen Battle , Chiang Kai-shek praised Lin Biao very much, believing that Lin Biao was the best student in the entire Huangpu, and defeated his seniors and teachers one after another.
Chiang Kai-shek regretted not being able to take good care of Lin Biao at the beginning, which made him feel dissatisfied with himself and finally joined the CCP, which made Chiang Kai-shek constantly reflect on himself in his later years.
However, more than 20 years later, in the fall of
Chiang Kai-shek immediately took it back and checked it carefully. After reading it, he was furious and cursed directly: "Yunnong missed me a big deal!"
At the beginning, when Dai Li came back to meet Chiang Kai-shek, he did not mention the existence of this report at all. He told Chiang Kai-shek about some family matters throughout the process, which made Chiang Kai-shek dispel the idea of recruiting Lin Biao.
However, All of this is blamed for Dai Li as a person who is too greedy for merit.
He thought that he could win over Lin Biao without Chiang Kai-shek's knowledge, so that he could surprise Chiang Kai-shek and get more rewards, so Dai Li chose to hide the facts.
If Dai Li told Chiang Kai-shek early in the morning, he was not so angry, but seeing Lin Biao's outstanding performance on the battlefield later, Chiang Kai-shek felt even more heartbroken.
Because of this, when Chiang Kai-shek saw Dai Li's report, he was furious.
Chiang Kai-shek directly said, why didn’t Dai Li and Lin Biao tell themselves the news? If I knew that this was the case, I would definitely spend more time to win over Lin Biao.
Dai Li said in the report that the negotiations between and Lin Biao were relatively smooth and he was confident that he could win over them.
In this way, Chiang Kai-shek thought that he could convince Lin Biao if he worked harder.
However, Chiang Kai-shek and Dai Li both thought it too simply. Dai Li underestimated Lin Biao's revolutionary will. He would not be persuaded by Chiang Kai-shek and Dai Li so easily, so Dai Li had no follow-up to Lin Biao's work afterwards.
In March 1946, the plane Dai Li was riding crashed in Nanjing and Dai Li was buried in Daishan. Therefore, Lin Biao's work was left unresolved, and the so-called surprise naturally no longer exists.
, and after reading the report, Chiang Kai-shek also kept thinking about it. He thought that as long as he offered better conditions, Lin Biao could use it for him.
However, it is impossible to have this report.
Conclusion
Chiang Kai-shek wanted to win over Lin Biao, because Lin Biao had a lofty revolutionary will at that time, and the Kuomintang reactionaries led by Chiang Kai-shek had always stood opposite the people, which had cut off the possibility of Lin Biao joining the national army.
Neither Hu Zongnan, Dai Li or Chiang Kai-shek could shake Lin Biao's beliefs, let alone Chiang Kai-shek's attitude towards Lin Biao when he was at the Whampoa Military Academy.
This is also one of the manifestations that Chiang Kai-shek cannot use it well, and ultimately led to Chiang Kai-shek's failure.
