On November 15, 1949, in Juxiang Bookstore , Chairman Mao stood in front of a world map and traced his route to the Soviet Union with his fingers.
At this time, the confidential secretary came in and handed Chairman Mao a newly deciphered Kuomintang message: "Mao Zedong will visit the Soviet Union before the 21st of this month. Please arrange an assassination, 0409."
Chairman Mao did not speak. , approved in the telegram: "I must solve it before returning to China!"
After the telegram was transferred to the Ministry of Public Security, a task force was formally established, led by Premier Zhou personally, assisted by Luo Ruiqing, and headed by Yang Qiqing.
On December 9, the special trains for Chairman Mao's visit to the Soviet Union began to set off. One was a three-part train, and the other two were for cover.
Chairman Mao was sitting in the middle carriage of the special train, accompanied by Yang Qiqing personally. There was a class of personal guards sitting in the carriage, and a security company was arranged in the front and rear carriages.
On December 10, Chairman Mao's special train entered Manzhouli , and then transferred to a special train sent by the Soviet Union. Nothing unusual occurred during this period.
But this does not mean that the Kuomintang has given up on this assassination plan. They have other plans.
Visiting the Soviet Union
After the special train entered the Soviet Union, Chairman Mao held a meeting above. At the end of the meeting, he asked Yang Qiqing how the case was progressing.
Yang Qiqing reported that Li Kenong was in charge of domestic case investigation and had just received a 0409 telegram asking him to immediately find out Chairman Mao's departure time.
Chairman Mao laughed loudly after hearing this: "It seems that the Kuomintang does not know that I am almost reaching the Soviet Union!"
Although Chairman Mao looked relaxed, the domestic investigators were not relaxed at all.
Since intercepting and deciphering the two messages, domestic latent radio stations have been in a state of silence. Our police officers know nothing about 0409.
originally planned to target 0409 through radio stations, but there were more than 1,000 radio stations being monitored at that time, and the lurking parties had been silent, so this approach did not work.
then invited relevant experts to decipher 0409 into surnames such as Guo, Guo, Gu, Gong, etc. This obviously has no specific meaning, and this method does not work.
The person responsible for detecting the case is Cao Chunzhi. He is the chief of the reconnaissance section of the First Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security. He is mainly responsible for detecting cases related to international espionage organizations.
Cao Chunzhi issued a military order to solve the case of Chairman Mao's assassination. Now there is no progress in the case, and he has no clues.
Cao Chunzhi took the two deciphered messages and looked at them. He read every word hundreds of times, but still couldn't find any clues.
At this time, the Intelligence Section sent another telegram. Cao Chunzhi read it and his eyes lit up. The message read: "0409, bonus of US$2,000, promoted to lieutenant colonel."
Cao Chunzhi focused on the seven words "award of US$2,000." If the Kuomintang wanted to pay this bonus to 0409, it would inevitably remit money from abroad.
Cao Chunzhi arranged for personnel to immediately visit banks and postal and telecommunications bureaus in Beijing that can operate foreign exchange business. However, a week passed and no foreign exchange was found.
Early on Monday morning, Cao Chunzhi was sitting in his office and continuing to study messages. Two of his subordinates, Cheng Runzhi and Zhang Yan, came in carrying a copy of Goubuli steamed buns .
Cao Chunzhi's eyes lit up when he saw the buns: "You two, stop eating and rush to Tianjin immediately to check! I said why can't we find it? The enemy will not be stupid enough to send money directly to Beijing to 0409!"
The two of them rushed to Tianjin immediately and found out that someone had recently wired 10,000 Hong Kong dollars to a person whose alias was Miss Ji.
Subsequently, Miss Ji remitted the 10,000 Hong Kong dollars to Meng Guangxin of Xinqiao Trading Corporation twice.
Cao Chunzhi immediately launched an investigation into Xinqiao Trading Corporation. The chairman is Li Chaoshan, his wife's surname is Ji, and he has a sister named Ji Cainan.
Meng Guangxin and Ji Cainan are now lovers, and they used to be classmates.
Cao Chunzhi immediately placed spies around Li Chaoshan, Meng Guangxin and Ji Cainan. After a few days, he found that none of these three people could be 0409, and the investigation once again reached a deadlock.
Li Chaoshan's company often ran out of money, and his wife often needed to borrow money from Ji Cainan to tide over the difficulties.
Meng Guangxin and Ji Cainan were just lovers. He was often responsible for running errands for Ji Cainan, and Ji Cainan was the most suspected.
But Ji Cainan did not have a transmitter and had no interest in politics. His biggest hobby was to often treat people to dinner to show off his wealth.
Cao Chunzhi decided to remove the informants around Li Chaoshan and Meng Guangxin, and focused on investigating people who had frequent contact with Ji Cainan.
Public Security Bureau tracking personnel discovered a man who behaved abnormally during a dinner. He came to the dinner in a hurry. After arriving at the restaurant, he didn't talk to anyone else. Even though his colleague Ji Cainan occasionally said a few words, he looked around cautiously.
When the man left the banquet, the plainclothes policeman who followed him quickly followed him. However, the man got rid of the plainclothes policeman just after walking two streets.
After hearing the report, Cao Chunzhi asked someone to pretend to be an investor and went to Xinqiao Trading Corporation to discuss investment matters, and cleverly found out about this man.
The man's name was Ji Xu, Ji Cainan's younger brother. The task force members immediately searched for Ji Xu at the address he left in the company.
But it was all in vain. At this time, an attentive female police officer said that Ji Xu had a son who was less than one year old.
can query the child through the hospital, and then find Ji Xu's home address through the child. The
task force visited many hospitals before finding this child. The registration certificate showed that the contact address was No. 33 Doujiao Hutong, Beicheng. The
task force arranged an informant at No. 33 Doujiao Hutong, Beicheng, and found that this was the house rented by Ji Xu. He was usually very cautious and did not interact with anyone.
What surprised the task force was that Ji Xu had a very clean history and had no connection with the Kuomintang.
Ji Zhaoxiang
However, the surname Ji is a very rare surname in our country. There is a person named Ji Zhaoxiang in Cao Chunzhi's memory.
This man used to be a member of the Kuomintang military commander, but later disappeared. Could Ji Xu and Ji Zhaoxiang be the same person? The
task force asked the military command personnel detained in the prison to identify Ji Xu's photos. They all confirmed that Ji Xu and Ji Zhaoxiang were the same person.
Cao Chunzhi decided to arrest and close the net. At this time, the Tianjin Public Security Police found an explosive package on a bridge. Fortunately, our agents dismantled it in time so that no major accident occurred.
Li Kenong
But Li Kenong realized that Ji Zhaoxiang could not be captured yet because the enemy had not successfully assassinated Chairman Mao before his departure, so he must have arranged a more secretive and major later assassination plan.
In other words, the Hard to Get was used before departure. The real assassination was when Chairman Mao returned to China.
However, now that we know nothing about the subsequent assassination plan, Li Kenong decided to take a long-term approach and not capture Ji Zhaoxiang yet.
Li Kenong asked to find out Ji Zhaoxiang's radio station first, so that he could establish Ji Zhaoxiang's criminal facts. He must be very careful with a cautious person like Ji Zhaoxiang.
Secondly, we can get more assassination plans and wipe out this gang in one fell swoop.
Found the clue
But it is not so easy to find out where Ji Zhaoxiang's radio station is. Ji Zhaoxiang goes from the company to the rental house almost at two o'clock every day. The
radio station is impossible in the company. The detection team did not find the radio signal in that area. It is possible in the rental house. However, the task force did not believe that Ji Zhaoxiang would put the radio station in the rental house.
If Ji Zhaoxiang sends and receives newspapers independently where he lives, it means that he is the top commander lurking in the mainland. According to Ji Zhaoxiang's current level, it seems that he is not yet the supreme commander 0409.
The most critical point is that there are many radio stations near No. 33 Doujiao Hutong, Beicheng. According to the detection technology at that time, it was impossible to locate Ji Zhaoxiang's rental house.
Of course, there is also a very simple way to determine whether there is a radio station in Ji Zhaoxiang's rental house.
has been tracking Ji Zhaoxiang at close range. If Ji Zhaoxiang happens to be in the rental house when the next report is sent, then the radio station will most likely be in his rental house. The method
sounds really simple, but in operation it may alert the enemy. Ji Zhaoxiang's anti-detection ability is very strong.
After this plan was rejected, the task force came up with another plan to observe whether the voltage of neighbors in Ji Zhaoxiang's rental house was stable. The power of the
radio station is very high. Once it is started, the light bulbs in the neighbor's house will flash continuously due to unstable voltage. The
task force finally found the neighbor of Ji Zhaoxiang's rental house. As a result, the neighbor often worked night shifts and was not aware of the situation.
However, the task force listed a timetable for Ji Zhaoxiang's previous dispatch and receipt of newspapers, so that the neighbor could recall it.
A neighbor recalled that the voltage was unstable several times, which happened to be the time when Ji Zhaoxiang was sending and receiving reports.
The task force was a little excited. All this showed that Ji Zhaoxiang was the big fish they wanted to catch.
In order to further confirm, the task force arranged for two staff members to rent next to Ji Zhaoxiang, which would also facilitate future arrests.
Soon Ji Zhaoxiang received a call from Taiwan. The message asked him to find someone to receive 20 taels of gold, which was a reward for his recent work.
While Ji Zhaoxiang was receiving the telegram, members of the task force who were renting near Ji Zhaoxiang's rental house happened to observe the phenomenon of voltage instability.
From the above, it can be confirmed that Ji Zhaoxiang is indeed 0409. The task force began to set up a dragnet, waiting for an opportunity to arrest.
On February 25, the task force once again intercepted a telegram:
"0409: Two Secret Bureau special commissioners will be airdropped to Harbin at 19:00 tomorrow night. Please respond."
It was this telegram that Li Kenong was waiting for. Now that he received the telegram, he notified the task force to arrest Ji Zhaoxiang.
Cao Chunzhi led the task force into Ji Zhaoxiang's rental house. However, everyone still underestimated Ji Zhaoxiang. After
police officers conducted a search, they found only two codebooks, and Ji Zhaoxiang refused to admit that they were codebooks.
After hearing the report, Director Li Guangxiang rushed to the scene immediately. If the radio station was not found, not only would it be impossible to convict Ji Zhaoxiang, but he would not even be able to be taken away immediately.
Li Guangxiang and Cao Chunzhi were walking back and forth in Ji Zhaoxiang's rental house. Suddenly, their eyes stopped on a peony picture at the same time.
This peony picture seems to have been posted not long ago, and the ceiling of the house seems to be very new, so there is no need to post such a disharmonious peony picture.
Li Guangxiang and Cao Chunzhi looked at each other and smiled. Cao Chunzhi immediately ordered the members of the task force to climb up and remove the peony painting. After the painting was removed, traces of the peony painting were revealed, and the staff opened it.
From the open ceiling, he took out an American-made No. 2 revolver, an American-made AC and DC radio, and a large number of telegram translations.
Faced with these physical evidences, Ji Zhaoxiang had no choice but to surrender. The task force took Ji Zhaoxiang back to the Public Security Bureau for overnight interrogation.
html On February 26, Cheng Runzhi and Zhang Yan went to Harbin to arrest the two special commissioners of the Secret Bureau mentioned in the telegram.The two people found the local public security officers in Harbin and asked them to assist in the arrest. The group arrived at the outskirts of Harbin early in the afternoon.
The plane of the Kuomintang Secret Bureau was very punctual. Just after 17:00, they airdropped the two special commissioners.
The two of them had just landed on the ground and before they could distinguish between east, west and north, they were captured by our police officers.
Cheng Runzhi and Zhang Yan found firearms, ammunition, radios and other crime tools from the two people, and the task force interrogated the two people overnight.
These two people are named Yu Guanqun and Zhang Daping. As special commissioners, they are only responsible for commending relevant personnel and issuing them letters of appointment, as well as maintaining contact with the Taiwan Secrecy Bureau.
These two people, like Ji Zhaoxiang, are not responsible for the assassination mission. The one who carried out the assassination mission was the Northeast Technical Column that was previously lurking in Harbin.
The two of them will go to the column commander of the Northeast Technical Column, Manai, to issue an assassination order tomorrow.
Stills
The next morning, Cheng Runzhi made up as Zhang Daping, and Zhang Yan made up as Yu Guanqun, waiting for Ma Nai to commit suicide at No. 210 Songhuajiang Hotel in Harbin, Ma Nai's code name.
At about nine o'clock in the morning, Ma Nai and his party arrived at the Huajiang Hotel. Zhang Yan, who was dressed as Yu Guanqun, received the two people outside.
Later, Zhang Yan reported to Cheng Runzhi, who was dressed as Zhang Daping in the room, and Cheng Runzhi agreed that the two of them could enter.
After "Yu Guanqun" introduced Ma Nai and "Zhang Daping", "Zhang Daping" signaled "Yu Guanqun" and Ma Nai's entourage to withdraw, and he wanted to talk to Ma Nai alone.
Manai made a detailed report to "Zhang Daping", and the content of his report frightened "Zhang Daping".
Manai said that he has three detachments including the Guangzhou detachment, the Nanjing detachment and the Harbin detachment, with a total of more than 170 agents who have been rigorously trained by the China-US Cooperation Institute.
These agents are distributed in all walks of life, even within the People's Liberation Army.
The news from their superiors this time was that Mao Zedong's special train would arrive in Harbin on time at 20 o'clock tomorrow evening.
And their three detachments are ready to plant high explosives at Changchun, Harbin and Manzhouli stations respectively tomorrow.
By then, as soon as Mao Zedong's special train passes through any of these three stations, it will be completely blown up.
These three stations are all stations that Mao Zedong’s special train must pass through. Even if one station does not explode successfully, it cannot escape the other two.
"Zhang Daping" felt cold sweat break out on his back, but he had to pretend to be calm because the lists of the three detachments had not yet been obtained.
When "Zhang Daping" asked Ma Nai to provide the list of more than 170 agents, Ma Nai ignored him.
"Zhang Daping" immediately took out his letter of appointment and told Ma Nai that he would now apply for a bonus from Mao Renfeng. How could he apply without a list.
Ma Nai then gave the list to "Zhang Daping". After "Zhang Daping" got the list, he immediately called "Yu Guanqun" who was waiting outside to come in.
When "Yu Guanqun" came in, "Zhang Daping" winked at him. "Yu Guanqun" immediately knocked Ma Nai down, and "Zhang Daping" handcuffed him.
Manai's entourage who was staying outside heard the noise inside and immediately opened the door and came in. Before he could react, "Yu Guanqun" had already pounced on him.
Subsequently, our public security officers arrested more than 170 members of the Northeast Technical Column. On February 27, Chairman Mao's special train successfully set off back to China.
