There were two great traitors in the war, named Miao Zhuanglin and Li Maotang. They worked as a big spy in the Jiang Mansion and had a high position in Shanxi and Shaanxi.

Li Kenong used the prodigal son to turn back and recalled the two of them back to the red camp, obtaining a large number of military secrets.

Li Kenong

The first big traitor was named Miao Zhuanglin. He had very little public information and joined the organization in Moscow, the Soviet Union in 1926.

According to local historical records in Nanjing, when the Red and White camps cooperated, they jointly fought against Beiyang warlords , and captured Nanjing in one fell swoop.

1927, Jiang waved his butcher knife at us, and our institution in Nanjing was brutally destroyed by the enemy.

1928, the superior leader sent Comrade You Youzai to Nanjing to rebuild our secret municipal party committee organization.

You Youzai was named You Wuhun and served as the secretary of the municipal party committee. When he entered Nanjing, he was accompanied by Miao Zhuanglin, who was named Miao Zhangyan and served as the organization committee member.

They took just a few months to rebuild the Nanjing Municipal Party Committee, develop nearly 200 secret members, and invade many important enemy institutions.

In April 1929, Miao Zhuanglin's identity was exposed and he was arrested and imprisoned by the enemy. Before we could rescue him, he betrayed the revolution.

Miao Zhuanglin's arrest caused the Nanjing Municipal Party Committee to fall into danger. About two months later, Wang Zhaoping, who was in charge of military work, rebeled and surrendered to the enemy and turned to Jiang's side.

Because two big traitors appeared in the team, the Nanjing Municipal Party Committee suffered serious losses.

Old Society Nanjing Street View

Next, Nanjing is the heart of the Chiang Kai-shek Group and one of the cities with the strictest defense of spies. In the next ten years, we sent people to rebuild the Nanjing Municipal Party Committee many times, but were destroyed by the enemy every time.

It was not until 1946 that the famous female agent Chen Xiuliang went to Nanjing that he truly rebuilt the municipal party committee team, but this is also an off-topic.

get back to the topic and continue to talk about Miao Zhuanglin. After he betrayed and surrendered to the enemy, he was reused by Zhongtong and became a big spy.

After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, this person felt regretful and wanted to rejoin our camp.

At the same time, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection sent Miao Zhuanglin to Northwest Shanxi to serve as the director of the intelligence station office. Not long after, he was promoted to director of the Shanxi Provincial Investigation and Statistics Office.

Whether it is the Central Commission for Discipline or the Military Commission for Discipline , they rely especially on intelligence stations all over the country when doing intelligence work.

In Shanxi, not only did the Chiang army and Jin army , but also the Eighth Route Army. The three forces had tacit cooperation in the early days of the War of Resistance.

Miao Zhuanglin contacted the Eighth Route Army again. He regretted rebelling and surrendering to the enemy and wanted to join the red camp again. So in 1939, he secretly made an appointment with Wang Shiying, director of the Eighth Route Army's Qiulin Office in Shanxi. He revealed his thoughts and regretted not being the first.

Wang Shiying

Miao Zhuanglin has been in the enemy camp for ten years and now wants to return to the embrace of the organization. Wang Shiying naturally agreed to this matter, so he conducted a long-term investigation on this person.

, and Li Kenong on the other side, mainly worked in the south of in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan. With the collapse of cooperation between Chiang Army, Gui Army, and our army, he moved to Yan'an.

1943, Miao Zhuanglin happened to pass by Yan'an because he went out for business, so he applied again, hoping to return to the embrace of the organization and continue the red ideal in his heart.

In order to develop the intelligence network, Li Kenong secretly met with the big spy Miao Zhuanglin in Yan'an and talked in private for a long time.

Li Kenong said: "The prodigal son will not change his gold."

's words touched Miao Zhuanglin, and he was very moved.

The two of them were born in childhood and talked about the revolution , and also talked about the work in Nanjing and the overall situation of the anti-Japanese war today.

Miao Zhuanglin confessed to his shameless behavior of rebelling against the enemy, hoping to get the organization's forgiveness, and believe that the Chinese people's War of Resistance Against Japan will definitely win the final victory.

Li Kenong said that your superiors trust you very much and care about your life very much, and agree that you will officially join the team.

Miao Zhuanglin was extremely excited when he heard this and vowed to make up for his merits and atone for his rebellion.

talks ended, Miao Zhuanglin returned to the Central Commission for Discipline and gave Li Kenong a large amount of telegram and passwords and confidential information within the Jin army in time.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Miao Zhuanglin was a nail inserted into Shanxi by our army and obtained a large amount of Chiang army, Jin army, and administrative information.

The last time this person appeared in history was during the War of Liberation. The spies of Jiangzhe Jiangzhe Jiangzhe Jiangxi and the spies of Shanxi Jin. First, they could make money by receiving Japanese assets, and second, they were smuggling contraband and could obtain huge profits of , so both sides always flew away.

In March 1948, due to an opium robbery, Dong Qichang, a major spy in Shanxi, was detained, and Miao Zhuanglin, the head of the Central Commission for Transmission and Administration Office in Shanxi, fled.

Since then, it has been difficult to find any records related to Miao Zhuanglin. It is like a stone with edges and edges, grinding into dust by the torrent of the times.

And the second big traitor to be discussed in this article is Li Maotang, who was born in , Weinan, Shaanxi, and learned telegraph technology after adulthood.

During the war, there were two great traitors, named Miao Zhuanglin and Li Maotang. They worked as major spies in the Jiang Mansion and had a high position in Shanxi and Shaanxi. Li Kenong used the prodigal son to turn back and recalled the two to the red camp, obtaining a large  - DayDayNews

Li Maotang

Li Maotang joined our camp when he was twenty years old and was sent to Wuhan to organize the workers' movement. Later, he served as secretary in Xi'an East District.

In September 1935, Shaanxi held an important meeting. Because there were traitors in the team, most of the participants were arrested, and Li Maotang was the only one who escaped the search.

The enemy publicly called out to Li Maotang, and as long as he was willing to fall into the trap, he would release other participants and no longer hold him accountable for subsequent "responsibility".

Li Maotang believed the enemy's lies. After being arrested and imprisoned, the enemy did not release other comrades at all.

The chief of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection Xu Enzeng sent someone to persuade Li Maotang to surrender and gave him a high-ranking official.

There are two theories in history. One is that Li Maotang pretends to betrayal, thinking that he will return to the organization in the future; the other is that Li Maotang takes the enemy's high-ranking officials and becomes an accomplice.

At the same time, Wang Shiying, who is in charge of special science , believes that Li Maotang will definitely not betrayal.

So Wang Shiying sent an agent to give Li Maotang a sentence, which was: single-line contact, long-term lurking, the more it seems "reactionary", the better.

When the Xi'an Incident was , in order to save Jiang, Li Maotang proposed to take a plane to take a parachute and airdrop it to Nanjing to rescue Jiang. Xu En once thought this plan was very good.

Li Maotang parachute to Xi'an and was soon arrested by Northeast Army . Fortunately, Zhou Gong was in Xi'an at that time and came forward to protect Li Maotang, otherwise the consequences could be imagined.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Li Maotang did a lot of things for the Central Committee in the field of spies, such as Japan sending a killer to assassinate Jiang, but he was captured.

Another thing is that Li Maotang obtained a lot of Japanese military intelligence, so he gained the trust of Jiang's family. He was promoted to the deputy director of the Central Commission for Investigation Office just like a rocket.

The founder of Zhongtong is the Chen family, one of the four major families, and is called the CC system.

When the internal strife of Jiang's mansion was in conflict, the CC brothers of the Chen family had long been disgusted with Zhu Jiahua, the Minister of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee. Li Maotang took advantage of the annual meeting banquet and beat Zhu Jiahua, which made a rant for the CC department.

The internal strife of Jiang's family became increasingly fierce, and in the end, the Chen brothers defeated Zhu Jiahua and Li Maotang was promoted to the chief of the Central Commission for Discipline Service in Shaanxi.

According to the book "Excellent Leader on the Hidden Front - Li Kenong", Li Maotang has been in the Chiang Mansion for many years and has increasingly hated the corruption of these bureaucrats. In 1940, he secretly met with Wang Chaobei, the head of the Xi'an Intelligence Department of the Red Camp, and hopes to officially join our camp again.

Our camp began to observe Li Maotang for a long time, just like observing Miao Zhuanglin.

Until November 1945, Li Maotang secretly came to Yan'an, hoping to meet the senior leader of the Red Camp, and Li Kenong came forward to meet him.

During the war, there were two great traitors, named Miao Zhuanglin and Li Maotang. They worked as major spies in the Jiang Mansion and had a high position in Shanxi and Shaanxi. Li Kenong used the prodigal son to turn back and recalled the two to the red camp, obtaining a large  - DayDayNews

Li Kenong

Li Maotang reported on the work results over the years and eagerly hopes to join the red camp and obtain official identity.

Li Kenong knew what the other party was thinking and hoped that the prodigal son would not change his money, so he reported the matter to the chairman. Luo Qingchang and Wang Dongxing are the introducers of Li Maotang.

Li Kenong joked: "Two directors introduce one director."

Li Maotang finally obtained Xin Xinnian's official identity. He was grateful to Li Kenong for his broad heart and expressed his willingness to sacrifice his life for the organization. He will die in the future and swear that he will definitely make meritorious contributions.

The keyword that needs to be paid attention to here is "to make meritorious service with guilt". It can be seen from this that Li Maotang realized his mistake back then.

Li Kenong guided Li Maotang how to carry out intelligence work in the future, especially the hiding of identity, the transmission of intelligence, and how to protect our comrades in the enemy camp.

Li Maotang was very excited when he left Yan'an. He thanked the organization for giving him the trust. He passed on important information such as the Central Commission for Administration of China in Shaanxi, the meeting minutes of senior military and political officials and other important information to Yan'an.

Shaanxi is the territory of Hu Zongnan . This person urgently needs intelligence support from the spy, so he trusts Li Maotang very much.

Hu Zongnan

It can be imagined that Li Maotang is the united leader of Shaanxi Central Committee, and Hu Zongnan is the enemy of our army, and all kinds of intelligence are continuously delivered to our army.

Li Maotang established an intelligence network within the Hu Zongnan Group, which made a relatively outstanding contribution to the victory of the War of Liberation.

In 1953, Li Maotang died of illness in Beijing. He restored all honors in 1982 and confirmed the identity of the Red Agent.
