At the end of 1949, former director of the Kuomintang Secretariat Bureau Mao Renfeng walked around excitedly in the telegram room, picking up the phone in his hand and putting it down. I don’t know how to report this good news to Chiang Kai-shek .

It turns out that he had just received a telegram from the mainland: Mao Zedong is going to visit the Soviet Union. This is a great opportunity to assassinate the leaders of the Communist Party of China!

Mao Renfeng

A moment later, Mao Renfeng put down his phone and said to the confidential secretary beside him: "People who go to the mainland must arrive on time and chase and block Mao Zedong's special train from both sides of the railway. For bombs, in addition to the No. 14 Railway Bridge, don't forget Harbin Station!"

looked at the confidential secretary. The book went to send a telegram, and Mao Renfeng suppressed his excitement just now. He sighed: "Thanks to this 0409, otherwise I would have missed this opportunity to assassinate Mao Zedong!"

At the same time, Chairman Mao in Beijing also received an enemy Taiwan telegram intercepted by the Military Commission's Interpretation Bureau: "Mao Zedong is scheduled to visit the Soviet Union on December 1, 0409" . Obviously, this was sent by a lurking spy from Beijing, and Chairman Mao’s itinerary has been leaked. In response, Chairman Mao directly used a pencil to instruct on paper: "Suppress this counter-revolution before I return to China" .

Chairman Mao

So, who is this counter-revolution? How did he get arrested in the end?

The appointment you want

1950, the spring in the north had already appeared, and the wind seemed to have the breath of spring, but the weather was still very cold at this time.

The deputy chief of the Reconnaissance Section of the Ministry of Public Security, who had been waiting in the field for a long time, Cheng Runzhi and several comrades were trembling in the car in the cold, but they did not dare to lower their heads at all, and their eyes were always kept away from the sky.

It was already dark. The team members were about to ask to go back when they saw Cheng Runzhi suddenly whirling his ears and shouting: "Come!" team members looked out, there was nothing in the sky, but a faint buzzing sound slowly became bigger, was the sound of the plane breaking through the air.

After dozens of breaths, a plane appeared in the field of vision of several people and flew over staggeringly.

"Quick! The car is on fire and catch up with that plane!"

They received information that the Kuomintang's plane dropped spies and supplies nearby, so the plane was not flying fast and could easily catch up.

After a while, Cheng Runzhi saw two skydiving figures from the telescope, and then the plane roared and disappeared into the clouds.

At noon the next day, Cheng Runzhi, wearing a blue robe and a plainclothes scout accompanied an "guest" to the Songhuajiang Hotel in Harbin. Under the guidance of this "guest" , the three of them soon arrived in front of a guest.

Before knocking on the door, Cheng Runzhi made gestures to let the other comrades hide, and then knocked on the door of the guest room.

After knocking on the door three long and two short five times, a low voice sounded inside the door: "Who?"

"205 is coming!"

Hearing the answer, a small crack was opened, and the person in the door looked outside and said: "Please come in!"

After opening the door, Cheng Runzhi saw that there was only a middle-aged man in the room, and the other party had a thorny beard, like an old fortune teller.

The other party greeted several people to sit down. According to the pre-arranged arrangement, "guest" and "technician" , and Cheng Runzhi stood as "companion" . Then Cheng Runzhi spoke: "This is Mr. Zhang Daqian, a special commissioner of the secret bureau, from . He came from afar. He is Director Mao's right-hand man in the secret bureau! The other is a technician sent by the party and state to support him, responsible for guiding the blasting work." After the introduction of

, Cheng Runzhi took a step back and stood behind the special commissioner and continued to play the role of the entourage.

"Look for a long time!" The middle-aged man opposite stood up and bowed respectfully, and then introduced himself: "I am Ma Nai, the commander of the Northeast Technical Column of this operation. The special commissioner worked hard all the way and could not welcome the special commissioner. I am really sorry!"

special commissioner waved his hand and said it was okay, and then Take out Mao Renfeng's handwriting from the cloth bag with you and said: "Commander Ma, I came here mainly to convey Director Mao's orders and supervise your actions. Secondly, is also to bring you the Chairman's appointment letter, and formally appoint you as the commander of the Northeast Technical Column!"

When he heard the appointment letter, Marne's eyes lit up. He is still verbally and has no formal appointment. With the appointment letter, he is a real commander. Ma Nai thought he had appointed him directly, so he quickly sat upright and waited.

Seeing Ma Nai's solemn look, Cheng Runzhi and the technician couldn't help laughing out loud. The commissioner hurriedly said: "What's the hurry! Commander Ma, this commander is already yours, and this process is not bad. You first tell me the current situation. Who knows the current action plan? No one will leak the plan, right?"

" Commissioner, I promise you, absolutely not! My men are all dead soldiers who serve the country loyally. If you want to live, you will die. Never frown! "

"Okay!" The special commissioner praised: "Then give me the list of teams , and I will go back to ask for merit for all brothers!"

Ma Nai did not doubt that he had him, and immediately took out a booklet he carried with him. It not only recorded maps, plans, etc., but also a list of Northeast Technical Columns lurking in the Northeast region. The commissioner took the list and looked through it, then turned around and handed it to "submission" behind him.

Ma Nai felt strange. Such an important thing could be shown to a follower. He frowned and was about to object, but he heard the "competition" say: "Sir Ma, do you want to entrust a letter, right?"

Ma Nai nodded hurriedly.

Cheng Runzhi put the booklet in his pocket, then smiled and took out a piece of paper from his pocket, handed it over with both hands and said: "Commander Ma, this is the letter of appointment you want!"

Ma Nai glanced at the commissioner. At this time, the commissioner seemed to have become a wooden man, not watching or listening to anything that happened. Although the scene was a bit weird, his thoughtful letter of appointment was right in front of him, so Ma Nai immediately stood up and took "Appointment letter" with both hands.

But as soon as he saw the content on the paper, his face changed drastically and ran towards the window. At this time, the "technician" and Cheng Runzhi who were sitting aside took action immediately, pressed Ma Nai in an instant, and then seized his weapon. After the plainclothes comrade who was hiding outside the door came in, he immediately handcuffed the commissioner and Ma Nai.

Until then, Ma Nai's "Appointment Case" was still in his hand, but it was not Chiang Kai-shek's appointment to him, but the three big characters "Arson Warrant" .

Unwilling Ma Nai shouted to Cheng Runzhi: "How did you find me? I'm obviously hiding so well!"

Cheng Runzhi walked to him and smiled and said: "Then you have to ask the 0409, he knows what's going on!"

"0409?" Ma Nai was stunned, and he suddenly understood everything.

409

After the Military Commission's Interpretation Bureau intercepted the telegram sent by the enemy's special forces, it directly submitted it to Chairman Mao. After

Chairman Mao instructed that must catch this counter-revolutionary before he returned to the country through a visit to the Soviet Union.

However, just catching people with an intercepted telegram and a person number is like finding a needle in a haystack. When this task was issued to the Ministry of Public Security, Premier Zhou specially asked Minister of Public Security to come to the trip.

Luo Ruiqing

"Do you know what the Kuomintang is lurking in the radio station?" Premier Zhou asked the two.

Luo Ruiqing nodded.

Premier Zhou said: "This is related to the safety of the Chairman. Before the Chairman returns to China, it is necessary to solve the case, which is also the Chairman's intention. Now Comrade Luo Ruiqing is mainly engaged in the anti-counterfeiting work and cannot be eliminated, so this case can only be left to Comrade Yang! Comrade Yang, do you have confidence?"

Yang Qiqing immediately promised: "Don't worry, the Chairman will definitely win this counter-revolution before returning to China!"

But afterwards, the Ministry of Public Security sent many capable personnel to continue the counter-revolution number "0409" , but after that, although the Ministry of Public Security sent many capable personnel, 18 days later, he found nothing. The enemy's special hiding depth made Yang Qiqing unable to find any clues. The only clue that may not be considered a clue is that the Central Military Commission’s anti-special monitoring station speculated that the number of “0409” may originate from the four surnames of Guo, Guo, Gu and Gong among the Baijia surnames.

Yang Qiqing

But this is the same as not saying it. Beijing million people, and there are more than 30,000 people with the four surnames. One by one, they can't find it even if they are not found. What's more, this direction is likely to be wrong.

At this time, Yang Qiqing remembered a capable general in the Ministry of Public Security, which was Cao Chunzhi, known as the "First Reconnaissance Section Chief of the Counter-Spy Investigation Section of the Ministry of Public Security" . When Cao Chunzhi heard that it was a case related to Chairman Mao’s safety, he immediately patted his chest and said, “Have you guaranteed to complete the task! If you can’t finish it, I’ll come and see you!”

There is no joke in the army. Of course, Cao Chunzhi knew the consequences of saying this, so he immediately summoned the reconnaissance team to discuss the possibility of the identity of the spy. However, the Ministry of Public Security conducted an investigation for more than half a month without any results. Cao Chunzhi discussed here for a long time, but he also found nothing.

is that there are too few clues that can be used. Apart from a deciphered telegram and a number, there is nothing else. If there are no new clues, it is difficult for the gods to come down to earth to find it.

One day, Cao Chunzhi saw this sentence when he was reading the book "Political Economics" : "In the exchange of goods with currency as the medium, prices always fluctuate up and down with value as the center, which is the manifestation of the effect of the law of value." The sentence instantly gave him inspiration to solve the case.

He slapped his head and found out that he had forgotten an important clue of : The spy was risking his life here just for fame and fortune, and fame is illusory and cannot be touched, but "profit" is real. Since the spy conveys intelligence, the Kuomintang will definitely pay him. As long as it is found out that anyone in Beijing has collected foreign exchange!

There are not many people who have had contacts with overseas Chinese these days, so the screening scope is much smaller.

After telling Yang Qiqing this idea, Yang Qiqing was also shocked and said: "This method is good! Why didn't we expect it before? Just check it according to this method!"

Yang Qiqing

Early the next morning, Cao Chunzhi asked Cheng Runzhi to take the scouts to major branches in Beijing to check the contact details in batches, but after a whole day, he still found no available clues.

Is it impossible to walk the road to Chahui?

Cao Chunzhi was about to give up, but Yang Qiqing said: "Beijing cannot investigate Tianjin. These spies are so cunning, they may not be transferred to Beijing. If you can't find it in Tianjin, let's check Baoding again. As long as the Kuomintang sends money to the mainland, it will definitely be found!"

With Yang Qiqing's encouragement, Cao Chunzhi boarded the train to Tianjin. Under the batch investigation by the scouts, he found clues in Tianjin. That was a remittance received by Heilongjiang Road Bank, from No. 27 Longxuan Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong. It was remitted to Beijing Xinqiao Trading Co., Ltd. two months ago. The amount was ,500 , which was a huge sum at that time.

In addition, there is currently a 500 remittance on the account and has not been withdrawn. It was just recently transferred.

However, these two remittances can only be said to be suspicious, because the recipient is Ms. Ji Cainan, who is an employee of Xinqiao Trade, and is not very much like a spy disguised identity. At the same time, the chairman of Xinqiao Trade is Situ Meitang . This Situ Meitang is a veteran of the Zhigong Party and a member of the CPPCC. Even Chiang Kai-shek has to respect him. His status is transcendent and it is impossible to downgrade himself to assist enemy special activities.

But I finally found a clue, so I can't just give up. After Cao Chunzhi returned to Beijing, Cheng Runzhi immediately presented him the latest intercepted Kuomintang telegram: "The Bureau of Secrets commends 0409, promoted from Lieutenant Director General to Lieutenant Colonel Director General." This telegram made Cao Chunzhi immediately lock on Ji Cainan.

"Commendation" time and the remittance time of HK$2,500 can match. Ji Cainan, who is , is a major suspect!

catch all the

In order not to alert the enemy, the reconnaissance team decided to send a strong team member to lurk in Xinqiao Trading Company where Ji Cainan is located to . Soon, the team member became the social secretary of the company's chairman's office with his social conditions in Beijing and the help of Situ Meitang, the company's chairman.

The first day after becoming a social secretary, the team member was about to come to the company roster and found Ji Cainan's name. However, he found that Ji Cainan, who had received huge sums of money several times, actually had no position in the company, just a name!

Is this a fake name used by the enemy? The scout had some bad thoughts in his mind.

The picture is from the Internet

, but after verification by him and other employees of the company, Ji Cainan does have someone, but he just doesn't come to work in the company. Occasionally some of the affairs are entrusted to the company's affairs secretary Meng Guangxin to handle.

, and Meng Guangxin seems to have some inexplicable relationship with Ji Cainan. Both of them are single, and Meng Guangxin often goes to Ji Cainan's residence, eat together and travel together. Therefore, many people in the company have speculated about their relationship, but no one knows what the relationship between the two is, and Meng Guangxin has never mentioned it.

intelligence was sent back to the reconnaissance team. Cao Chunzhi believed that , Meng Guangxin, was a major suspect in , so he immediately arranged personnel to keep an eye on Meng Guangxin. If Meng Guangxin was that spy, or if it was related to the spy, then he would definitely go to Tianjin to withdraw money.

As expected, a few days later, Meng Guangxin asked the company for leave to go to Tianjin and came to Heilongjiang Road Branch to withdraw money. The scouts who had been ambushing inside and outside long ago saw Meng Guangxin walking into the bank with a hat and scarf from afar.

Meng Guangxin's anti-reconnaissance is very conscious. When he stepped into the bank, his scarf surrounded most of his face, only his eyes were exposed. It was the bank teller who reminded him to take off his scarf, and the scouts took a picture of him withdrawing money with their camera.

At the same time, the Ministry of Public Security's electronic detection team also made significant progress . After multiple detections by the signal detection vehicle, the electronic detection team finally locked the location of the enemy's special radio station in the area of ​​ Nanchizi near Zhongnanhai. Through investigation of Ji Cainan, it was found that Ji Cainan had a younger brother named Ji Xu before, who lived in Nanchizi.

has been investigated here, and the result is almost revealed. But you cannot catch people at will without evidence. If you can't find anything, you will start to alert the enemy you finally tracked down may relocate.

Ji Zhaoxiang

Ji Xu's public identity shows that he graduated from the Department of Electronics of Nankai University in Tianjin, 27 years old, without a proper career, his wife graduated from the Department of Chinese Painting of Beijing Art College, 24 years old, and the two have a child under the age of one year. At the same time, Cao Chunzhi found a person named Ji Zhaoxiang in the "List of Military and Police Special Training Personnel of the Kuomintang Secret Bureau" , and this person is likely to be Ji Xu.

is just right. There are two prisoners in the prison and Ji Zhaoxiang who are students of the same period. They have studied and trained together and must have recognized Ji Zhaoxiang. So, Cao Chunzhi found these two captured spies, and when they heard that they could make meritorious service and atone for their sins, they both expressed their willingness to help.

After finding out Ji Xu's travel rules, the scout team members and two captured spies were waiting together on Ji Xu's must-pass road every day, allowing the two captured spies to identify Ji Xu's true identity.

When Ji Xu went out to buy groceries, his two classmates recognized Ji Xu as Ji Zhaoxiang at a glance, so the reconnaissance team decided to close the net immediately.

On February 26, 1950, Cao Chunzhi and Central Intelligence Minister Li Kenong brought public security personnel to Ji Zhaoxiang's home, and searched a US-made SSTCEE 25-watt radio station on the spot. In addition to this, there is also a US military standard revolver and a password book hidden in "Gu Wen Guanzhi" .

It turns out that there is only Ji Zhaoxiang in this enemy radio station. Lieutenant Colonel Director is just an "Power Commander" . In addition to being the director, he is also a radio operator, intelligence officer, and translator. Ji Zhaoxiang, who was arrested, did not resist at all, and was not surprised by the arrival of the police, as if he had expected this day long ago.

Under the instructions of Li Kenong, Ji Zhaoxiang used the radio station to convey Li Kenong's voice to Taiwan: "Mao Renfeng, your universal radio station lurking in Beijing has been detected, and now the person who sends you is Director Ji Zhaoxiang. A strong people's democratic dictatorship is a historical trend. You go against the current and are self-destructive. If you lead the people back, the people's government will not blame you. Solemnly advise you, don't be obsessed!"

Li Kenong

, after Ji Zhaoxiang's explanation, The conspiracy of the Kuomintang to blow up a train on Chairman Mao's way back from the Soviet Union was completely uncovered. Therefore, Cheng Runzhi, deputy chief of the Reconnaissance Section, was quickly sent to the Northeast to arrest the Kuomintang airdrop personnel, and This is the beginning scene.

Finally, with the capture of "Ship Ma" , Cheng Runzhi, who had a list of Kuomintang spies, easily captured the so-called Northeast Technical Column in one fell swoop, completely shattering the delusions of the Kuomintang reactionaries. Chairman Mao also returned to Beijing safely after visiting the Soviet Union.

In view of this, the central government has since launched a vigorous anti-special campaign of Qing bandits across the country. A few years later, it has rectified all the bandits and spies across the country. All of this cannot be separated from Cao Chunzhi and Yang Qiqing, and from the thousands of reconnaissance personnel lurking on the front line. Although many of them have no names for confidentiality, they are all nameless heroes.

Yang Qiqing (right)

In this prosperous era, there are still many enemy and special activities, and these unknown heroes are still fighting on the front line of battle. Therefore, we should remember them and pay tribute to their heroic feats!
