preface

He was an intelligence officer of the Japanese " Iwai Mansion " and was also awarded a great contribution by the Kuomintang Military Commission. He served as an important position in the Wang Puppet Regime and once became a secret intelligence officer of the Third International Far East Intelligence Bureau. His real identity is a special member of the Communist Party of China who has been engaged in underground intelligence for 14 years. His name is Yuan Shu .

A person with five spy identities: CCP, Zhongtong , Military Control Commission , Japanese puppet, Qinghong Gang, , , who is known as the "Oriental Zorg", how exactly does it play with it, and Zhou Xuan is among these forces?

became Central Special Science and Technology intelligence personnel

1931, Yuan Shu, who was only 20 years old, returned from studying in Japan. At that time, he had no clear plan for his future. He only founded the weekly magazine "Literary and Art News" in Shanghai. However, at that time, Shanghai was shrouded in white terror. The news of five progressive writers being killed by the Kuomintang was blocked for several months. In this regard, no newspapers and magazines dared to report it.

Faced with this situation, Feng Xuefeng, who was the secretary of the party group of " Left League " at the time, found Yuan Shu. After listening to the other party's explanation, Yuan Shu was filled with indignation and patted his chest and said that the matter was in his body.

So, not long after, Yuan Shu cleverly completed the report in "Literary and Art News" by using "reader letters" to ask the whereabouts of the five writers and the editors' reply. As soon as the report was released, it immediately caused a huge social response.

Yuan Shu also showed his excitement in this incident. He was from the press, studied in Japan, and was extremely courageous and had a wide range of connections. If he could join the group, he would definitely be surprised. Therefore, Pan Hannian from the CCP side noticed him. At that time, because of the rebellion of Gu Shunzhang, the Central Special Forces suffered a heavy blow and urgently needed some new intelligence personnel to inject into the Kuomintang system. It was really a pillow that was dozing off and no one was more suitable than Yuan Shu.

6, under the introduction of Pan Zinian , Yuan Shu joined the "China Culture General Alliance" and was elected as one of the five-member Standing Committee members on behalf of the press. What outsiders don’t know is that the editorial department of Literature and Art News has become a reliable place for party and progressive cultural people to meet and talk. Therefore, in addition to Xia Yan, Pan Zinian, Feng Xuefeng and others, Ding Ling also often visits here to meet and meet and meet and talk to progressive people.

When studying in Japan

In addition to "Literary News", Yuan Shu also proposed the Chinese translation of "reports literature" for the first time and defined it. He theoretically gave a systematic discussion of reportage with insights and was often invited to university to give speeches. In addition, he also left behind a lot of journalism works, including "Reporter's Way", etc. Even his play "Factory Night Scenery" was called by Yu Dafu as a masterpiece comparable to Gorky's "Night Club".

If he continues to follow this life trajectory, he may be able to leave his name in history in Chinese literature or journalism, but his destiny trajectory has been changed, and this change stems from a conversation.

On October, Yuan Shu arrived at a coffee shop at the intersection of Aiwenyi Road, Jing'an Temple in Shanghai in a daze, according to Pan Zinian's notice. It was noon, and the coffee shop looked extremely quiet. Except for the Belarus waitress, there was only a table in the corner.

There were two people sitting there, one of them was Pan Zinian's younger brother Pan Hannian, who was a legendary figure in the intelligence front and united front work of the Communist Party of China, and the other one, Yuan Shu had never seen it.

After a simple greeting, Pan Hannian said to Yuan Shu: "You want to join the Avant-garde organization. After a period of investigation, we think your wish can be realized.”

So, not long after, under the introduction of Feng Xuefeng, Pan Hannian and Wang Zichun secretly developed Yuan Shu into the party, and Yuan Shu also became a intelligence officer in the Central Special Affairs Department. Pan Hannian clearly stated : "You are joining a secret avant-garde organization, and ordinary members of the organization do not know your identity. "

Wang Zichun also became his single-line contact person, and Wang Zichun was the person he had never met in the cafe at that time.

And this so-called "secret avant-garde organization" is the Central Special Section of the Supreme Security Organ of the CPC Central Committee.

entered the Kuomintang's top leaders to obtain intelligence

In the spring of the second year, Pan Hannian instructed Yuan Shu to "enter the Kuomintang's top leaders to obtain intelligence". Before that, Wang Zichun had conducted two months of secret work training for Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu would go to a house in a small alley on Beisichuan Road every week to train. When he saw a flower pot placing outside the window, he agreed to knock on the door three times as a number.

Picture | During the Northern Expedition, Yuan Shu taught his teacher that when passes messages, he should add one or two to the numbers regularly, and change. For example, "I will have a friend on Friday", which is actually about Thursday; saying "See you at 12 noon", which actually refers to two in the afternoon. After the training of

, Yuan Shu officially devoted himself to underground intelligence work.

Before this, Wang Zichun asked him to think about the social relationships that he could use and whether it was okay. It depends on them to start work.

I have to say that they have found the right person, because Yuan Shu had a cousin Jia Botao held an important position in the Kuomintang at that time, and Wang Zichun instructed him to write a letter to Jia Botao to seek jobs on his behalf, and specially modified some of the contents of the letters for him. Yuan Shu didn't have much hope at the beginning, but his cousin was really a capable person. So, after a while, after , after being instructed by his cousin, Yuan Shu met the then director of the Shanghai Municipal Social Bureau and the leader of the Central Commission for Transport, and was also a fellow villager in Hubei. Wu Xingya .

After investigation, Yuan Shu also understood what Wu Xingya liked. In order to meet his preferences, Yuan Shu wrote an article that reads brilliantly and actually has no way to operate. After handing over this article, it quickly gained Wu Xingya's love. Wu Xingya quickly expressed his love for the job consent form with actions, and directly arranged Yuan Shu to refine the secret intelligence organization "Jobs" of the Central Commission for Discipline, so that he could serve as intelligence The chief of the corps and put it in "Xinsheng News Agency" as a reporter.

After such operations, Yuan Shu successfully penetrated into the Kuomintang.

became a Japanese intelligence officer

With the cover of the journalist, Yuan Shu can also often attend press conferences of the Nanjing government and the Japanese consulate to obtain internal information in a timely manner.

Not long after, under Wang Zichun's planning, he attended the press conference of the Japanese Consulate with a Japanese magazine. Before the meeting, he casually flipped through the Japanese magazine in his hand. His actions quickly attracted the attention of the Japanese consulate member Iwai Eiichi .

After a period of meeting, Yuan Shu quickly became personal friends with Iwai Eichi, and sometimes they would talk about some personnel news.

About half a year later, Iwai Eiichi took the initiative to ask Yuan Shu to serve as the intelligence officer of the Japanese consulate. After Yuan Shu knew about it, he quickly reported the information to Wang Zichun.

After Wang Zichun found out, he guided Yuan Shu and reported this matter to Wu Xingya. Wu Xingya was kept in the dark and thought that Yuan Shu had opened up a Japanese relationship and was very beneficial to collecting information in the future, so he encouraged him to date Iwai Eiichi.

So, in this way, Yuan Shu became a spy who had the three identities of the Communist Party of China's special sect, the Kuomintang Central Committee and the Japanese spy.

attracted the attention of Qinghong Gang

Yuan Shu had a wide range of channels and was well-informed. He also became a celebrity in Shanghai, thus attracting the attention of Qinghong Gang.

I have to say that Yuan Shu really can eat everywhere. In May 1934, Yuan Shu officially became the closed disciple of Cao Youshan, the leader of the Qinghong Gang. He was the same as Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng peer-generation . Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng's names are very famous in Shanghai. They can board this ship, and there is another layer of gang protection color on them. From then on, Yuan Shu has become more beneficial to obtain information.

has contact with the Far East Intelligence Bureau

1935, a sensational case suddenly appeared in Shanghai - the "Black Western Case", and Yuan Shu was actually arrested by the Military Control Commission.

This so-called strange Westerner is actually Walton, the head of the Far East Intelligence Agency of the Third International. However, after , he was arrested, his name and nationality were not mentioned, so he was called the "weird Westerner".

What is strange is that the interrogator actually found a small book carrying it on him, which also had Yuan Shu's name and phone number on it, and Yuan Shu was also involved in the "Blame Western Case".

So, how did Yuan Shu have contacted the Far East Intelligence Agency?

Because in the spring of 1935, Wang Zichun suddenly disappeared like the world has evaporated, and no one has appeared. However, Yuan Shu was anxious to contact the organization, so he asked Xia Yan to help him pass a letter to the leaders of the Central Special Section.

According to the provisions of the Central Special Section, they are a special organizational system. Generally, party members cannot contact the Central Special Section. However, the matter is urgent and Yuan Shu is anxious, so Xia Yan handed over the letter to Cai Shuhou.

What Xia Yan didn't know was that at that time, Cai Shuhou had transferred from the Central Special Section to the Far East Intelligence Bureau, and the Far East Intelligence Bureau was in a hurry to lack talents like Yuan Shu.

So, without Yuan Shu's knowledge, his relationship was directly transferred to the Far East Intelligence Agency. What I don’t know is that this “Black Westerner Case” was actually due to the rebellion of Lu Haiwei, which is Walton’s subordinate, which is what he had never seen before. Since

has been rebelled, Yuan Shu, who was offline, was naturally arrested. From this point of view, Yuan Shu's intelligence career seems to be about to end.

No one thought that in the second half of 1937, Yuan Shu continued to become active as a "military commander".

"Blasting No. 76"

Because the Japanese consulate regards Yuan Shu as their "pro-Japanese faction", and the military command of Dai Li also has the intention to win over Yuan Shu. In addition, Yuan Shu's father Yuan Xiaolan took the upper-level path of the Kuomintang as the old Tongmenghui . In addition, in the "Blame Western Case", Yuan Shu was finally sentenced to two and a half years in prison as a "cultural ideological criminal". In fact, he was only imprisoned for 8 months before bail.

After being released from prison, in order to avoid the limelight, Yuan Shu once went to Japan to study and returned to China almost a year later. It was already the eve of the outbreak of the " July 7 Incident ".

At the critical moment of the anti-Japanese war, Pan Hannian returned to Shanghai as the director of the Eighth Route Army Office in Shanghai. and Yuan Shu also tore the military maps obtained in Japan into pages, and brought them back to Shanghai in old books and newspapers, and handed them over to Pan Hannian as soon as possible to restore the organizational relationship. It was also at this time that he became Yuan Shu's direct contact person.

At this time, Shanghai's politics was complicated, which led to increasingly difficult intelligence work. It was also at this time that Dai Li, who had won over Yuan Shu, actually came to the door to invite him, expressing his important tasks.

pic|Military Commander Dai Li, the leader of the Military Control Commission, soon, Yuan Shu reported this matter to Pan Hannian. Pan Hannian believed that Yuan Shu should take advantage of the situation and invade the Military Control Commission, and then let the Military Control Commission release the "black Westerners". After organizational approval, Yuan Shu agreed to Dai Li's request. Dai Li thought that Yuan Shu was just an "intelligence dealer". Under pressure from the Soviet Union, he released the "black Westerners" and promised to give Yuan Shu 300 yuan in activity funds every month. At the same time, Yuan Shu was also appointed as the general leader of the Shanghai International Intelligence Group of the Military Control Commission. However, his public identity was still a reporter. At the same time, he continued to maintain contact with Iwai Hideichi Iwai.

In 1938, traitors and Japanese in Shanghai were constantly assassinated, and the Wang puppet forces supported by the Japanese invaders appointed Li Shiqun and other headquarters of the preparations for the agent , and the location was set at No. 76 Jisfier Road. After the establishment of 76 , it began to suppress the anti-Japanese movement in a crazy manner, constantly harming the people and killing many patriotic people.

It was also at this time that Yuan Shu received an order from the Military Control Commission - to kill Li Shiqun.

However, Li Shiqun himself often engages assassination activities and is also preventing himself from being assassinated, so he has always been in a place to live. What should I do at this time?

Yuan Shu decided to use the method of digging the tunnel and directly sent the headquarters of Agent No. 676 . To this end, Yuan Shu personally reconnaissed the terrain and drew a map. His plan was also approved by Wang Tianmu, the mayor of Shanghai District, at that time. As a result, before the plan could be implemented, Wang Tianmu and another military commander Chen Gongpeng captured Li Shiqun's "special agent headquarters", and at the same time, he also disclosed the plan, and Yuan Shu was arrested.

Yuan Shu himself would not sit still and wait for death. He quickly turned his mind and thought that he had the identity of a Japanese consulate intelligence officer on him, and then used this identity to put pressure on Li Shiqun. At the same time, he secretly managed to pass the news of his arrest by Li Shiqun to Eiichi Iwai.

After learning that Yuan Shu was arrested, Pan Hannian was not panicked. Instead, he thought of the most optimized solution. He also planned to use Yuan Shu's identity as an intelligence officer in the Japanese consulate and asked Yuan Shu's wife Ma Jingxing to call Iwai Eiichi.

As expected, Yuan Shu was detained for a month by No. 76 and was released.

So, why did the Japanese agree so easily to rescue Yuan Shu?

first, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs represented by Iwai Hideichi and the Japanese military behind No. 76 are having a big quarrel, and there are both competition and contradictions between the two sides.

Second, they know the strategy of "using China to control China". The military doctor wants to use Yuan Shu, a Chinese who understands Japanese, writes articles and can carry out activities, in short, it is to use and squeeze out his surplus value from a new political and cultural level.

After escaped from No. 76, Yuan Shu lived in the Broadway Building arranged for him by Eiichi Iwai. At the same time, Eiichi Iwai also arranged two people by his side to monitor his every move.

Soon, Eiichi Iwai expressed his thoughts. He asked Yuan Shu to write an article on Sino-Japanese relations for public public, that is, he asked Yuan Shu to make a public statement, turn from behind the scenes to the front stage, and disclose his identity as a "traitor". Faced with this result, Yuan Shu was really at a loss. He didn't know what to do, so he had to report to Pan Hannian.

Finally, at Pan Hannian's instruction, he agreed.

Not long after, he wrote the article "Theory of the Founding of the People's Republic of China", which explained his opinions on the overall situation of China and Japan that he "discussed" with Iwai Eichi. However, the signature of this article was Yuan Shu's false name "Yan Junguang". However, not long after, Li Shiqun directly spread the news that "Yan Junguang is Yuan Shu", and everyone is familiar with Yuan Shu's handwriting, so he is considered to be "falling into the water".

For the Military Control Commission, Yuan Shu secretly wrote a letter to Dai Li, in which he stated that he was detained by No. 76 because of Wang Tianmu's betrayal, and then he agreed to cooperate with the Japanese because of Iwai's rescue, but he would use it to invade the enemy and contribute to the anti-Japanese war.

As he expected, Dai Li wrote him a reply, comforting and encouraging him to continue to serve the Military Control Commission.

After this, Yuan Shu and Chongqing have also maintained contact. Every late at night, Yuan Shu would use the secret radio station to send the obtained information to Yan'an late at night. After

, because Yuan Shu performed well, he met Emperor Hirohito of Japan during his visit to Japan and received his commendation. This incident also caused tension and uneasiness among the people of Wang Jingwei. They protested to the Japanese side. Under such pressure, Iwai Eiichi disbanded the "Kindation of Asia and the Founding of the Country" and successfully inserted Yuan Shu into the Wang Jingwei government, serving as an executive member of the Central Military Commission and deputy director of the Central Propaganda Department.

1941 Pacific War broke out, Hong Kong fell, Pan Hannian also received an urgent call from Zhou Enlai, demanding the emergency transfer of progressive people stranded in Hong Kong. Yuan Shu immediately accepted the task and applied to Eiichi Iwai on the grounds that "I want to transfer colleagues in Hong Kong to increase the strength of Shanghai." Eiichi Iwai believed it and provided him with a large number of passes. Yuan Shu used the pass to tightly block the Japanese army and evacuated more than 800 progressive people.

So, under such a turbulent situation, Yuan Shu re-established multiple contacts with the Communist Party of China, the Military Control Commission and the Japanese. They didn't know that behind this was the "one drama" between Pan Hannian and Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu performed this drama until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

1945, Yuan Shu secretly evacuated the liberated area according to the instructions from the organization, and since then he changed his name and retired successfully.
