This person in front of him was the most powerful undercover agent in China during the Anti-Japanese War . He has many nicknames, and one of the most famous titles is "the most awesome traitor".
He took high salaries from Japanese people, ate Japanese food, married Japanese women as his wife, and was burdened with the infamy of traitors all his life. But he endured humiliation and destroyed more than 20,000 Japanese troops in just eight words during the Taierzhuang Battle. Saved the lives of 290,000 anti-Japanese soldiers.
Xia Wenyun
His name is Xia Wenyun, like a sharp knife, stabbed into the heart of Japan.
talented and intelligent
1905, Xia Wenyun was born in Liaoning. This year was very unsettled, with a war breaking out between Japan and Russia, and it ended with Japan's narrow victory. After
, the Japanese army occupied the Liaodong Peninsula , including the Lushun Port, , Dalian Bay, and other regions of my country, and has carried out more than 40 years of colonial rule.
In order to completely enslave the Chinese here, Japan carried out brainwashing education locally, claiming that the Northeast "belongs to Japan". The same is true for Xia Wenyun, because the Japanese urgently hope to speak of the next generation of Chinese teenagers through education to become "Japanese".
Fortunately, Xia Wenyun has other channels to learn about history. Although he has not seen the Lushun Massacre with his own eyes, he often listens to the older generation. Since then, a seed of serving the country and rejuvenation has also been buried in Xia Wenyun's heart.

In order to avenge, Xia Wenyun hid his inner hatred. He kept studying hard, hoping to change the destiny of the motherland through knowledge.
With unremitting efforts, Xia Wenyun finally got admitted to Lushun Normal School . Here, the talented and intelligent Xia Wenyun was valued by the Japanese. So he was admitted to Kyoto Imperial University for further study.
During this period, Xia Wenyun's tuition and food expenses were all provided by the puppet Manchukuo regime. As time goes by, Xia Wenyun began to feel guilty about spending Japanese money and going to Japanese universities, believing that this is a disinterested act.
So after graduation, Xia Wenyun did not stay in Japan for a moment and immediately returned to his motherland. At first, he joined the Feng Yong . served as a professor in a university run by Feng Yong, but the good times did not last long. Japan launched the September 18th Incident , because Chiang Kai-shek 's did not resist the policy , which made the entire Northeast become an enemy-occupied area.

This made Xia Wenyun particularly disappointed with the National Government. After that, the Japanese army sent an olive branch to Xia Wenyun and invited him to serve as the director of the Second Intelligence Section of the General Staff of the Kwantung Army and the translator of Zhiying II.
In fact, Xia Wenyun didn't want to betray the motherland at all, but the invitation from the Japanese was no different from threats. If you refuse, you may lose your life and your vision of serving the country will basically not be realized. Therefore, Xia Wenyun decided to compromise and stay here for a while before finding an opportunity to leave here.
First meet Li Zongren
During the period when he was the translator of Hezhiying 2, Xia Wenyun had met many famous and surnamed figures, including Li Zongren.

At that time, our country was still in the stage of warlord melee, and Chiang Kai-shek could not coordinate the whole country. In order to clear the obstacles for the subsequent war of aggression against China, the Japanese sent He Zhiyinger to contact Li Zongren to split China's armed forces.
In this way, the Japanese army can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. When the two sides fight to the death, they will come forward to steal the interests. If the Japanese army's plan really succeeds, we will be under great pressure.
Fortunately, Li Zongren is a person who knows the overall situation and also knows the Japanese army's misconduct. So Li Zongren kept changing the topic and wanted to use this to tell He Zhiyinger that he was not interested in this topic.
During the conversation, Xia Wenyun translated what Zhiyinger said, and then repeated it to Li Zongren. Looking at the righteous young man in front of him, Li Zongren was a little confused.

For this reason, after the meeting with Hezhiying 2 ended, he asked Xia Wenyun to talk about his thoughts in private. Faced with Li Zongren's invitation, Xia Wenyun did not refuse.
As soon as we met, Li Zongren asked: Brother, you look virtuous and talented. Now the country is in ruins, and there are strong enemies who are eyeing you. Why do you work hard for the Japanese?
After hearing Li Zongren's question, Xia Wenyun could no longer hold back the grievances in his heart and immediately burst into tears. He told Li Zongren about the cause and effect of the matter, and Li Zongren understood why he did things for the Japanese. After
, Xia Wenyun said to Li Zongren again: If there is a chance to serve the motherland, I will never refuse.
I have to say that Li Zongren is very accurate in judging people. After hearing Xia Wenyun say this, he immediately entrusted him with an important task and made him his intelligence officer.
Li Zongren
html More than 0 years later, when he recalled this decision, Li Zongren repeatedly criticized and thought that if Xia Wenyun had not been there at that time, he would not know how much he would have suffered.It turns out that after staying with the Japanese for a while, Xia Wenyun completely gained the trust of the Japanese and believed that his distorted education had achieved his goal. Now Xia Wenyun is a real "Japanese".
So in many final meetings, Xia Wenyun also got the opportunity to participate. It can be said that Xia Wenyun is the roundworm in the Japanese army's belly, knowing all the secrets of the Japanese army. After
Undercover career
, Xia Wenyun took advantage of his position to continuously convey information to Li Zongren. From 1934 to 1935, he informed Li Zongren that the Japanese army sent troops to the Indochina Peninsula and Southeast Asian countries. This was of great help to Li Zongren's deployment in the War of Resistance against Japan.

1937, after Nanjing fell, the Japanese army carried out evil deeds such as massacre in Nanjing, which reminded Xia Wenyun of the Lushun Massacre, so he hated the Japanese even more.
He turned grief and anger into strength, and soon provided Li Zongren with a very important information. It turned out that after occupying Nanjing, the Japanese army planned to send 13th Division to continue fighting north.
After Li Zongren learned about it, he decided to lure the enemy into deeper. After the enemy entered the encirclement, he blocked it so that it could not meet with the Japanese army. This intelligence prevented the Chinese army from further suffering from heavy damage and left a valuable spark for the subsequent anti-Japanese resistance.
And Xia Wenyun is even more powerful. During the Taierzhuang Battle, he used 8 words to ruin the lives of more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers and rescued 290,000 Chinese soldiers.

Taierzhuang Battle
In January 1938, the Japanese army mobilized heavy troops and planned to attack in the north and south ends in the direction of Xuzhou . Under this situation, Li Zongren was appointed as the commander of 's fifth theater , responsible for commanding Xuzhou battle .
At that time, the Sakagaki Division of the Japanese army went south from the Jiaoji Line and headed straight to Linyi . On the other hand, the Japanese Isogai Division headed south along Jinpu Road, intending to take Taierzhuang directly.
Before this, Xia Wenyun had conveyed the movements of the Japanese army to Li Zongren. Li Zongren immediately judged that the Japanese army wanted to capture Linyi first, and then meet with the Isogai Division in Taierzhuang. In this way, the national army will fall into a very passive situation in the war.
So, Li Zongren immediately sent Pang Bingxun's army to Linyi to encircle the enemy. Pang Bingxun's 2 troops fought with the Japanese army until March, and both sides won and lost. But in the face of the powerful Japanese army, Pang Bingxun could not bear it. He hurriedly sent a signal to Li Zongren for help.

But the Isogu Division is approaching Taierzhuang. If people are drawn to support, Taierzhuang will face danger. Moreover, if the Japanese army reinforces the Sakagaki Division, the Battle of Xuzhou will be defeated. Another thing is that Taierzhuang’s geographical location is very important and is the gateway to Xuzhou.
If it is lost, then the Japanese army will be able to continuously increase troops from the Jinpu Road and the Longhai Line railway in the mainland. Li Zongren was also very anxious about this. At the military meeting, he could not come up with a plan to defend against the enemy after several discussions.
At this time, Li Zongren was waiting for Xia Wenyun's information, hoping to make plans with the help of the Japanese army's next attempt. But what he didn't expect was that the information sent by Xia Wenyun not only helped him understand the trends of the Japanese army, but also helped him save the current dilemma.
Xia Wenyun There are only a few words in this information: The Japanese army moved south but did not move north. This is to say that the Japanese army in the north will not be transferred, so the Sakagaki Division will not have support.

So, he quickly transferred Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army to support Pang Bingxun. After the two armies merged, more than 3,000 Japanese troops were eliminated, and the conspiracy between the Isogai Division and the Sakagaki Division met with Taierzhuang.
After the Linyi crisis was resolved, the Japanese Isoga Division launched a large-scale attack on Tengxian and Taierzhuang. Under the command of Li Zongren and the bloody battle of the soldiers of the entire army, the Taierzhuang Battle was finally won. In this battle, we wiped out more than 20,000 Japanese troops, and the Isogai Division's vital forces were almost wiped out. After Taierzhuang won a great victory, it inspired the people of the whole country to resist Japan. Internationally, many people have also changed their views on the future of the Sino-Japanese War because of this war.
After the war, many people praised Li Zongren for using his troops as if he were a god. However, Li Zongren thought he was ashamed and believed that the victory of this battle was inseparable from Xia Wenyun's precise intelligence.

Afterwards, Li Zongren sighed in his memoirs, saying that Xia Wenyun risked his life to help us win this victory. Xia Wenyun has never received support from the state, nor has he been awarded honors by the state. He did this entirely because of patriotism.
Li Zongren wanted to personally commend Xia Wenyun at that time, but considering that he wanted to protect Xia Wenyun's personal safety, he could only give up.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to Xia Wenyun, there is another person who plays a crucial role in Taierzhuang Victory . He is Wang Mingzhang. Faced with the bombardment of the Isogu Division, he led his soldiers to fight bloody battles, and bought very important time for the Taierzhuang victory.
Unfortunately, Wang Mingzhang eventually committed suicide and died in his country. Before his death, a Japanese army persuaded him to surrender, but Wang Mingzhang refused. Afterwards, Li Zongren also mentioned that said that if Wang Mingzhang and his party had not guarded Tengxian, how could there be a great victory in Taierzhuang?
Wang Mingzhang
Of course, we cannot forget the tens of thousands of anti-Japanese soldiers, who also played a very important role in this battle. Without their bloody battle, Taierzhuang would not have achieved great victory.
was almost caught
After the great victory in Taierzhuang, Xia Wenyun was still providing information for Li Zongren.
In the days that followed, he was still constantly providing Li Zongren with very important information, but everything he provided was very accurate and timely information.
This made the National Government call several times to commend the Fifth War Zone, saying that they did a very good job. Whenever he faces such praise, Li Zongren is actually a little guilty because he feels that he is "occupying the nest".
Li Zongren
He really wanted to reward Xia Wenyun, but he could only wait until Anti-Japanese War ended. Xia Wenyun is indeed a person with noble feelings. He has never provided information for money or for the future.
Li Zongren gave Xia Wenyun a reward, but Xia Wenyun politely refused. So, he has always been doing these things with a patriotic hot pillow.
. While collecting information for Li Zongren, Xia Wenyun was almost arrested. It was in 1941, when Pacific War broke out. The Japanese began to suspect Xia Wenyun because of their successive defeats on the battlefield. Fortunately, Xia Wenyun was smart and fled to Taiyuan, Shanxi in time to work in the pseudo-government of Shanxi. This incident also caused the disconnect between Xia Wenyun and Li Zongren.
After disconnecting from the contact, Li Zongren was particularly worried about Xia Wenyun's safety and was afraid that he would encounter an accident. Fortunately, in 1946, he heard that Xia Wenyun was arrested and imprisoned by the National Government, which made the stone hanging in his heart fall.
After Li Zongren and Chiang Kai-shek
, Li Zongren ran up and down for Xia Wenyun and was released on bail in 1947. Afterwards, Xia Wenyun traveled around and came to Japan to settle down.
Here, he lives in poverty, but fortunately he met a Japanese girl who loves him. The two of them are united, have a son and a daughter, and live a very ordinary life.
During the period of his life in Japan, Xia Wenyun never talked about providing information to Li Zongren. Maybe it's because he doesn't want to become famous, or maybe it's because he wants to be an unsung hero.
But even if he doesn't mention it, the Chinese people will not forget the contribution he has made. Pay tribute to the soldiers who provided intelligence behind enemy lines like Xia Wenyun to help China's anti-Japanese war.
