In addition to them, there are a group of people who are also fighting for the future of the country behind their backs, and even their contributions cannot be known. This is an intelligence officer.
Yao Zijian is one of them. But when he is doing intelligence work, he always keeps in touch with his superiors for the sake of confidentiality.
Therefore, Yao Zijian never knew which organization he belonged to until his later years.
So, how did Yao Zijian embark on the road of collecting intelligence? How did he know his identity?
Join * * * and be ordered in a crisis.
Yao Zijian is from Yichang City, Jiangsu Province. His parents make a living by running a teahouse, and their life is passable.
1929, Yao Zijian, 14 years old, came to Shanghai to study alone. With his efforts, he was successfully admitted to the middle school department of Shanghai University of Labor.
This school was chosen because it not only exempted students from tuition and fees, but even gave away a set of school uniforms for free.
For poor students like Yao Zijian, this kind of welfare is undoubtedly a great attraction. Thus, Yao Zijian stayed in Shanghai.
However, when Yao Zijian was a student in Shanghai, it coincided with the September 18th Incident, and many young people took to the streets, demanding that the Kuomintang government fight back and safeguard the interests of China.
However, in the face of such a correct request, the Kuomintang government not only ignored it, but sent a large number of military and police to suppress the demonstration, and even drove all the teachers and students out of the campus.
In desperation, Yao Zijian was forced to leave Shanghai and return to a primary school in his hometown as a substitute teacher.
However, Yao Zijian is not here. He has always hoped to find an opportunity to start his studies again and make his own contribution to the country.
After working for a period of time, Yao Zijian's opportunity finally came.
First, he learned that Nanjing Central Army Surveying School was about to enroll students. The most important thing is that the treatment in this school is also very good, and students are exempted from all tuition and miscellaneous fees.
Attracted by this, Yao Zijian bid farewell to his parents and returned to Nanjing to continue his studies.
1933, Yao Zijian found out that he was from the Kuomintang when he was admitted. As for all the courses in the school, they are managed militarily.
At that time, the school offered many courses, including land and resources, planning environment, surveying and mapping, etc. Students are free to choose.
In Yao Zijian's view: "If you want to make a revolution, you must let more people participate. Therefore, publicity is essential, and printing is a necessary means of promotion. "
In the school curriculum, only the painting class includes the printing class, so Yao Zijian came to the printing major.
1in the spring of 934, Yao Zijian graduated smoothly and was assigned to work in the National Government to do surveying work in the General Administration of Land Surveying and Mapping.
Not long after, Yao Zijian met Shu, a fellow countryman friend in Shanghai. They had the same hobby before.
In their conversation, Yao Zijian knows that the other party has joined the producer of * * * and is now working in Shanghai.
Yao Zijian was exposed to Marxism when he was at school before, and he was deeply impressed by * * * productism.
At that time, he had the desire to join the China * * * production party, but under the persecution of the Kuomintang reactionaries and the inability to find a party organization, his desire had to be temporarily stranded.
This time, when he learned that his best friend had become party member, he could no longer restrain his inner joy. Please help him realize his wish to be a * * * party member.
1934 In May, with the help of Shu, Yao Zijian met Lu Zicheng. Under their introduction, Yao Zijian finally realized his wish and became a party member.
However, for the sake of confidentiality, Shu did not tell Yao Zijian what organization he should belong to.
At this time, due to the previous Gu Shunchang mutiny case, it became more and more difficult for China to collect information in Nanjing.
But Yao Zijian is a member of the National Government and has access to some information.
Therefore, when Yao Zijian told Lu Zicheng that he wanted to leave here in order to devote himself to the revolutionary cause of the party, Lu Zicheng gave him another instruction:
"You don't have to go to other places to carry out the revolutionary cause. You work in the General Administration of Surveying and Mapping. This identity can bring a lot of convenience. I hope you can make good use of this condition to collect military intelligence. "
Therefore, under the persuasion of Lu Zicheng, Yao Zijian stayed in the General Administration of Surveying and Mapping and tried to collect intelligence information.
As this is a crucial moment for the Red Army to fight against "encirclement and suppression", more valuable intelligence information is needed.
Therefore, Yao Zijian applied to his superiors and asked to change jobs on the grounds of eye diseases.
Fortunately, Yao Zijian was transferred to a new department to manage the military map of the Kuomintang army.
This means that Yao Zijian has more access to confidential information and laid the foundation for his later intelligence work.
Secretly transmitting information under the guise of playing.
After Yao Zijian came to his new post, he was exposed to all kinds of confidential and even top secret military maps.
Whenever someone comes to pick up a map, he must register with him first. Yao Zijian will always write down the number of the bearer's troops in his mind.
Because the internal rules and regulations of the Kuomintang were not perfect at that time, after a military map was taken away, Yao Zijian would secretly take one away and hide it when no one was around.
After all, in the piles of data, the probability of missing one or two is also very low.
On Saturday, Yao Zijian finished his week's work. Next, he will carry out a secret mission.
Yao Zijian first put the collected military maps on the innermost layer of the suitcase, and then put some clothes and books on it as a cover, so he took the suitcase to the railway station.
Under normal circumstances, after seeing Yao Zijian's military uniform, the Kuomintang military police along the way thought it was one of their own and would not interrogate him.
In this way, Yao Zijian successfully came to Shanghai, where his friend Shu or his wife Shen had been waiting for a long time.
When Yao Zijian gives the maps and materials in his hand to the couple, he will also report the use of maps by the Kuomintang government this week.
When the materials arrived, Yao Zijian returned to Nanjing on the same day, and the normal working hours on Monday would not be delayed.
Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, he just used the weekend to go to Shanghai.
As we all know, Yao Zijian is secretly carrying out such an arduous task.
The use of these military maps will be sent to the command post of the Central Soviet Area as soon as possible.
If we know which area the Kuomintang troops have got the map, it means that they will take action against this area.
With Yao Zijian's information, the Central Soviet Area can grasp and analyze the enemy's situation and respond according to this information.
Thanks to Yao Zijian's efforts, confidential information was transmitted to the Central Soviet Area and the Red Army in battle through him.
Lu Zicheng also affirmed his work many times, saying: "To gain the contribution of the enemy's situation is equivalent to leading a Red Army team to fight against the enemy."
After receiving such affirmation, Yao Zijian was encouraged.
But this job must be full of all kinds of dangers, especially the eyes and ears of the Kuomintang are all over the organs, and the Land Survey Bureau, which is responsible for military maps and other information, has many eyes and ears.
In normal times, Yao Zijian is always careful. In the eyes of colleagues, this person does not strive for it, but always works hard.
Nevertheless, Yao Zijian inevitably encountered some dangerous situations.
At that time, in order to ensure their safety, single-line contact was generally adopted.
On one occasion, Yao Zijian contacted him. His identity in the Kuomintang was public and belonged to the Tang Dynasty, but his real identity was actually underground party member.
At that time, Wu Xijun came to the General Administration of Surveying and Mapping to get the map. He didn't know that Yao Zijian worked here in advance, and they almost met.
Fortunately, Wu Xijun was highly nearsighted and didn't wear glasses at that time. When Yao Zijian saw him, he was talking to someone else and didn't notice Yao Zijian's existence.
At this critical juncture, Yao Zijian quickly turned and left here.
If Yao Zijian and Wu Xijun have any contacts, then their identities are likely to be exposed in front of many eyes and ears.
At that time, not only will I be in deep danger, but even the intelligence work will come to a standstill again.
However, this happens from time to time when Yao Zijian is doing underground work. Fortunately, every time he turns a corner.
In addition, if the intelligence personnel are not on the same line, they don't know each other even if they meet.
For example, when Yao Zijian talked about his work at Shu's place, another young man was there, but neither of them knew who the other was.
Shu introduced Yao Zijian: "This is Mr. Li." The latter just nodded and left quickly.
Yao Zijian has no discomfort with Mr. Li's behavior. After all, in their industry, the fewer people who know their identity, the safer they are.
Leave the unit and join the war of resistance.
At the end of 1934, Yao Zijian was replaced by a "teacher Xiong". Yao Zijian is still collecting information from the General Administration of Surveying and Mapping and handing it over to Mr. Xiong.
Time flies to 1937, that is, in this year, Japan brazenly launched a full-scale war of aggression against China.
In February, 65438, because Nanjing was no longer safe, Yao Zijian followed his former unit to work in Wuchang.
Just when he thought he had broken contact with Mr. Xiong, he tried to find a party organization.
Before long, Mr. Xiong took the initiative to contact Yao Zijian.
It turned out that Mr. Xiong came here after learning that Yao Zijian had retired to Wuchang, trying to keep in touch with Yao Zijian.
1938, Yao Zijian retreated to Chongqing with the Kuomintang government. On the way, he witnessed the suffering of the people of China in dire straits.
The Japanese invaders invaded China on a large scale, which made the people of China suffer greatly.
For a time, Yao Zijian was encouraged by the anti-Japanese upsurge all over the country and was determined to go to the front battlefield to fight against the Japanese aggressors.
So Yao Zijian asked Mr. Xiong to convey his ideas to his superiors.
In April, Yao Zijian finally received a notice and was sent to the Eighth Route Army Intelligence Station in Hong Kong to take charge of the work.
After a while, we will try to arrange a job for him.
Yao Zijian was very surprised after receiving this news. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, Yao Zijian left Chongqing silently instead of resigning from the company.
After arriving in Hong Kong, Yao Zijian is in charge of some information sorting work, waiting for his new task here.
Here, he met his hometown and Pan Hannian, the leader of the Central Special Branch.
1938, Yao Zijian took two notes and embarked on a journey to Yan 'an.
One is addressed to Chen Yun, Minister of Organization Department of the Central Committee, and the other is addressed to President Kangda. The names of these two letters are "Little K", which is the pen name of Pan Hannian.
After a long journey, Yao Zijian finally came to Yan 'an.
Here, he first entered the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University to study, and after graduation, he went to work in the revolutionary base areas.
Since then, Yao Zijian has started a new revolutionary journey. Before that, his brief intelligence career also left an indelible impression on Yao Zijian's heart.
A lecture, knowing identity
After the founding of New China, Yao Zijian never revealed his intelligence years to the outside world. Most importantly, he doesn't really know why he works in an office.
In his view, as long as it is an order issued by the party organization, no matter how difficult the task is, he must finish it on time.
Yao Zijian's son, Yao Qun, listened to his father's story about that hard time since he was a child. Unconsciously, Yao Qun has also become a person who has contributed to the country and the people.
At 200 1, a group of people from Yao's unit invited us to tell us a story about the struggle history of the hidden front and her experience in the Central Special Branch.
Speaking of Shen Anna, she is a sharp knife inserted into the enemy.
Under the arrangement of Zhou Enlai and others, Shen Anna lurked in the Kuomintang confidential bureau as a stenographer.
With excellent shorthand skills, Shen Anna quickly gained the trust of Kuomintang officials and even took part in shorthand for important meetings of the Kuomintang.
At the end of the meeting, what Kuomintang officials had just said quickly spread to the table of the headquarters of the Central Soviet Area.
During the civil war, Shen Anna still worked as a stenographer beside Chiang Kai-shek.
However, due to the increase in leaks, Chiang Kai-shek also became suspicious. Not knowing who leaked the secret, Chiang Kai-shek had to take more preventive measures.
In this way, when talking about the key points at the next meeting, Chiang Kai-shek waved and asked the stenographer not to take notes.
Shen Anna knows that only the contents of these forbidden records are the most critical.
So, when Chiang Kai-shek was speaking, Shen Anna stopped writing, but she remembered everything Chiang Kai-shek said.
Wait until the break, pretend to go to the toilet, record the information on a small piece of paper, take it home after work, give it to her husband Hua for sorting, and finally send it to the party organization.
It can be said that Shen Anna has made outstanding contributions to intelligence work.
Even Deng praised her: "Although you are only a stenographer, you are not a big official, but your role cannot be ignored. You are the core comrade who broke into the enemy! "
In 200 1, I talked about my special years and the contribution of my sister Shen and her brother-in-law Shu.
At this time, a group of Yao were listening under the stage. They were all very excited when they heard the names of Shu and Shen. After all, these two names have been heard by his father more than once.
In this way, my father and Shen Anna may become comrades-in-arms.
So, after Yao and his party came home, he first asked his father, "Did you know each other when you were doing intelligence work?"
Yao Zijian replied: "I know, she is Shen's sister, and she was also in charge of this task at that time."
Later, Yao and his party told their father what they said at work today.
After hearing the news, Yao Zijian was also very excited: "Unexpectedly, she is still alive. If only I could see her. "
Soon, Yao Zijian's wish came true, and he was invited to Shen Anna's house.
Here, Yao Zijian found that the "Mr. Li" he met was actually her husband Hua.
Three of their comrades-in-arms are telling the story of the hidden front.
Shen Anna told Yao Zijian: "Brother, your intelligence work belongs to the Central Special Branch. Your online is Wang Shiying, Shu Yuxin and Shen. "
After the meeting, Shen Anna immediately reported to his superiors and verified Yao Zijian's identity as the central special department.
In this way, after 67 years, Yao Zijian finally knew his true identity.
From June 2, 2008 to June 2, 2008, from June 65438 to June 65438 10, Yao Zijian finished his life at the age of 103.
Accompanied by his life, it was the Kurt era with burning passion.
1927 After the Kuomintang reactionaries launched a counter-revolutionary coup, the Central Special Branch was born.
Unlike the crackle on the battlefield, the soldiers here silently made their own sacrifices for the revolution.
However, due to the confidentiality of intelligence work, many people's contributions are little known, and even some people have paid their lives for it, but they are forever lost in the long river of history.
Yao Zijian, Shen Anna and others were good young people when they joined the revolution.
But for the sake of their faith, they are willing to make sacrifices and fight on the hidden front anonymously.
This experience is the most unforgettable time in their lives.
In that white and horrible environment, they always devoted themselves to the revolutionary cause with selfless dedication, and were infinitely loyal to the China * * * production party. They will always be role models for us to learn.
