In 1943, Tian Shouyao, the commander of the 8th Brigade of the 3rd Division of the New Fourth Army, died bravely at the age of 28. On March 18 of this year, Tian Shouyao and his party went to Yan'an to study. When they passed through the sea area north of Lianyungang , they were suddenly surrounded by Japanese troops.
During the battle, the ship Tian Shouyao was riding was blown up by the Japanese army. After that, he led the soldiers to swim to the coast, unfortunately was swept away by the waves. When the local people found him, they no longer had a breath.
However, it is surprising that after Tian Shouyao died for three months, he magically appeared in Yan'an. Because Tian Shouyao's identity is quite special, he will be received by Chairman Mao.
Just the day before Chairman Mao was about to meet him, Chen Bo from Yan'an Security Bureau found an silencer gun on him, and "Tian Shouyao" was arrested on the spot.
How did Tian Shouyao "resurrect"? Why hide a muffler on him?
1915, Tian Shouyao was born in Lu'an, Anhui. In that turbulent era, Tian Shouyao's family was poor and if he wanted to survive, he had to work for the landlord.
However, the young Tian Shouyao has always not understood why his family worked hard every day, but in the end the whole family couldn't even have a meal. It was not until 1930 that 15-year-old Tian Shouyao found the answer.
This year, the Red Army team came to Lu'an and launched the Red Revolutionary Movement. With the support of his family, Tian Shouyao resolutely joined this team that supports the people.
Although Tian Shouyao was only 15 years old at that time, he had super strong learning and leadership skills. After several years of hard work, in 1934, Tian Shouyao, who was less than 20 years old, served as the battalion commander of the 225th Regiment of the Red Army with outstanding abilities and led a team to participate in the Long March. In 1935, Tian Shouyao was appointed as the brigade commander of the New Fourth Army.
However, such a revolutionary hero did not die in the glorious battlefield, nor did he enjoy the fruits of victory, but died in the hands of the Japanese invaders.
In February 1943, Tian Shouyao was ordered to study at Yan'an Party School. On March 18, a study group was formed by cadres of the Third Division and the League, with a total of 16 people. The captain is the chief of staff of the division, Peng Xiong, and Tian Shouyao is the deputy captain.
In order not to be discovered by the Japanese army, the team headed north from sea route, landed on Zhejiang River, and then headed towards Yan'an along the river. On the evening of March 26, the group boarded the wooden sailing boat , but the weather was windy in the morning and the sailing boat could not move forward.
The Japanese devils patrolling nearby discovered the wooden sailboat and wanted to force the boat to board the ship. The two sides fought fiercely.
Before the group set out, in order to prevent the enemy from being discovered and exposed, only Tian Shouyao among the group members carried a pony gun. The battle continued until three o'clock in the afternoon, and the enemy boats were repelled when they approached the wooden boat three times.
During the battle, Tian Shouyao fainted due to seasickness and was shot in his leg. When he woke up again, Peng Xiong had already died in battle, with only half of the members of the group remaining. The comrades who were still chatting and laughing yesterday have now turned into lonely souls on the sea.
Tian Shouyao endured the pain and directed everyone to fight. It’s a pity that the gap between us and us is too big, and we don’t have weapons, so we have no chance of winning at all.
So, Tian Shouyao ordered the destruction of all documents, threw them into the sea, and blow up the ships if necessary, and die with the enemy. The wind blew in the evening and the boat sailed for more than 30 miles. However, he was still caught up by Japanese ships. Surrounded by the enemy, Tian Shouyao ordered everyone to dive and climb ashore to try to escape the enemy's pursuit.
However, just as they were about to swim on the shore, Tian Shouyao accidentally fell into a deep ditch and never got up again.
After Tian Shouyao's death, the Wang Puppet Special Agents Office quickly got news from Japan and found out the identity and list of the fallen soldiers of the New Fourth Army in this battle. This list was also obtained by the Military Affairs Bureau agents lurking in the Wang Puppet Agents Office.
When the Military Intelligence Agency agent reported this list to Dai Li, the evil plan to pretend to be Tian Shouyao to assassinate Chairman Mao was planned.
so, how did the fake Tian Shouyao be discovered by our army? Speaking of the details, he has a close connection with a person, who was Chen Bo, who was the security director of the border area of Yan'an headquarters at the time.
Chen Bo, also known as Blu, was born in Hainan Island in 1909. He joined the Qionghai underground party organization of the Communist Party of China in his youth. In May 1928, the Hainan underground party was frustrated and Chen Bo was forced to flee to Malaysia and served as the captain of the General Trade Union picket team. In the autumn of 1931, Chen Bo participated in the killing of the former district party secretary Li Jinbiao, who betrayed hundreds of comrades, under the instructions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. While experimenting with the homemade bomb , Chen Bo's left hand was blown away due to a sudden explosion and had to undergo high amputation.
In 1936, Chen Bo came to Xi'an and was soon sent to Yan'an to study at the Red Army University. After graduating from the Red Army University, Chen Bo was arranged by the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee to serve as the head of the Reconnaissance Section of the Yan'an Border Region Government. From then on, Chen Bo began the party's work on the hidden front. In work, we have achieved great success.
1937, Chen Bo showed his skills in the Security Department of Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, repeatedly, destroying many major and important cases of enemy spies, and dealing a heavy blow to the enemy.
In 942, Chen Bo arrested 51 enemy spies through various means. This incident was also the largest number of enemy special forces in Yan'an cracked down on the number of enemy special forces since the War of Resistance Against Japan. Even Chairman Mao praised Chen Bo as "Holmes" in Yan'an!
0 Let’s talk about it, the fake Tian Shouyao arrived in Yan'an in June 1943. Chen Bo, the director of the border guard department of Yan'an Command, did not know about Tian Shouyao's death. But he still found the problem in some details.
First of all, Tian Shouyao came to Yan'an to study in February 1943, but it took more than three months for this fake Tian Shouyao to Yan'an. Over time, people can't help but have some doubts. In addition, Chen Bo called to some war zones where Tian Shouyao passed by inquiries, but he did not get a record of Tian Shouyao's entry.
Secondly, Chen Bo asked Tian Shouyao to present a letter of introduction, but the reply he received was that the letter of introduction was lost. Chen Bo then quarantined the person and conducted an investigation. The man quickly confessed that he was a spy of the Military Control Commission and was assigned by Dai Li to infiltrate Yan'an for assassination. Chen Bo also found a silencer pistol on him.
What’s scary is that according to time, this fake Tian Shouyao will be received by Chairman Mao the next day (June 22).
On the night of June 21, 1943, candlelight appeared and disappeared in the cave in Yangjialing, Yan'an. At the door, a guard "reported", opened the curtain and walked into the room quickly.
Guard: "Chairman, Brigade Commander Tian Shouyao cannot come tomorrow." Chairman Mao was holding a history book in his hand and reading it with relish. Hearing this, he looked up in confusion.
The guard sweated slightly on his forehead, pinched the corner of his clothes, pondered for a long time, and continued to explain, "Chen Bo found a silencer on him, and it felt like he was coming for you."
Chairman Mao heard this, raised his eyebrows, looked angry, and said in a deep voice: "This is impossible. Tian Shouyao is a hero of Pingxingguan and a good comrade of our party."
The next morning, Chen Bo took the report to Chairman Mao to report the assassin's situation. After listening to the cause and effect, Chairman Mao immediately smiled: "Well, Chen Bo, you are worthy of being the nemesis of the Military Command. Dai Li's face is probably going to be angry with you."
Soon Chen Bo arrested the enemy spies again, and the deeds of protecting Chairman Mao's safety spread throughout Yan'an. Chen Bo has also become a great hero admired by many people.
Looking at Chen Bo's revolutionary journey, we will find that he has endured many pains that ordinary people seem to be unable to bear. Under extremely difficult circumstances, Chen Bo has always insisted on working on the hidden front. With his smart mind and keen insight, he cracked down on the enemy's conspiracy again and again, protected the security of the central government, and made great achievements.
In fact, in the years of revolution, there are many heroes like Chen Bo who have been devoted to the hidden front for a long time. Some of them did not see the day when the revolution was victorious, and some were still working on the hidden front after the victory of the revolution. Their identities are not known to their families and they bear the infamy that others cannot bear. But they never regretted it. And their beliefs have never been shaken.This is the real revolutionary hero, worth remembering for future generations throughout their lives.
