However, Shen Zhiyue has been lurking around Chairman Mao for more than a year. Why has he never acted?
During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, our Party had to face not only the powerful Japanese army, but also a lot of spy work.
As early as the early days of the revolution, the Shanghai Central Special Agency joined hands with the Central Bureau of Statistics. At that time, the chief of the Central Special Branch was Comrade Zhou Enlai, who led Hu Di, Li Kenong and Qian Zhuangfei against the C.O. of the National Government.
However, due to problems such as backward technology and equipment, the central special department is backward everywhere and has been repeatedly suppressed by the Central Bureau of Statistics. When Gu joined the Kuomintang, many underground work of our party was quickly understood by the Central Bureau.
To this end, many comrades were arrested and disabled one after another, and the Central Special Branch had to evacuate Shanghai quickly and retreat to the Soviet area.
Although the central bureau won, the battle is far from over. Later, the country cooperated again, and our party quickly deployed a new pattern. Due to the outstanding contributions of Xiong Xianghui, Shen Jian and Chen Zhongjing, our party's underground work began to gain the upper hand, and then suppressed the C.O..
Faced with the infiltration and excellent work of our party, the Kuomintang felt threatened and planned to get rid of our leader, so it secretly sent spies into Yan 'an, aiming at Mao Zedong, and the spy who carried out the task was Shen Zhiyue.
According to records, Shen Zhiyue was born in the second year of the Republic of China (19 13), and his hometown is Xianju County, Zhejiang Province.
/kloc-at the age of 0/7, he entered the transportation training of the Second Corps of Nanjing Central Military Academy. Because of his wit and outstanding achievements, Shen Zhiyue was quickly appreciated by the leaders.
1933, the young man Shen Zhiyue was admitted to Fudan University. During this period, he met several students, party member. Influenced by his thoughts, he became impassioned, took an active part in the workers' movement at that time and took to the streets to March and shout.
After graduation, Shen Zhiyue was assigned to work in a coal enterprise in Pudong, Shanghai. Later, he was treated unfairly and took the lead in organizing workers to stop work and gather to express their demands. At that time, the national authorities were in a hurry, and quickly sent troops to arrest Shen Zhiyue and put him in prison.
Afterwards, the central spy was responsible for interrogating Shen Zhiyue. In this process, Shen Zhiyue took his time. Because he was smart since he was a child and didn't want to suffer immediate losses, he lied to the secret service to interrogate him and lied that Dai Li, a senior Kuomintang official, was his relative.
The spies had planned to torture him if he didn't confess, but at his young age, Dai Li's name was quoted in his mouth, and his attitude improved.
But after frequent investigations, spies found that Shen Zhiyue was lying. Although he was angry, he began to appreciate that Shen Zhiyue really had a little devil flavor and was a good prospect as a spy.
Shen Zhiyue's deception of the spy soon reached the ears of Dai Li, the head of the Kuomintang spy. He found that Shen Zhiyue was born in Xianju County, Zhejiang Province, and was indeed a fellow villager, but he was not related by blood.
But I really appreciate his courage and intelligence, so I called Shen Zhiyue for an interview. After several meetings, Dai Li began to intentionally train Shen Zhiyue as a spy, so he lobbied: Now that the Japanese invaders have occupied the territory and the country is in great trouble, Mr. Lao Jiang wants to unify the internal affairs, realize reunification, start a comprehensive War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, rebuild a prosperous China and save the people from the mire.
These passionate words made young Shen Zhiyue's blood boil, so he promised to join the secret service organization and serve the country, thinking that everything he did was for the country and the people, for the war of resistance.
Later, Shen Zhiyue was ordered by Dai Li to join the * * * Production Party and continue to engage in the workers' movement as a worker organizer. The Kuomintang spy deliberately let him go.
Soon, Shen Zhiyue won the trust of our party because of his outstanding performance in organizing the workers' movement, and gradually let him know more about the information organized by China, and even began to put him in charge of the information transportation task of the Shanghai * * * production party.
During this period, in order to enhance Shen Zhiyue's spy ability, Dai Li arranged for him to be trained in Zhejiang Police Academy through his relationship. As a student, Shen Zhiyue was formally sworn in as a Kuomintang spy.
After graduating from Zhejiang Police College, Shen Zhiyue changed her name to Li Guodong.
Back in Shanghai, he joined an underground organization outside the * * * production party. His task is mainly to be a spy in several universities in Shanghai as a student.
Shen Zhiyue also performed very well in this respect, successfully destroying underground organizations outside the producers of Guangming Reading Club. It can be said that Dai Li is an undercover in our party organization.
In this regard, Dai Li also expressed great satisfaction with Shen Zhiyue's performance, and privately told his cronies that Shen Zhiyue was his right-hand man.
Shen Zhiyue is brilliant, good at camouflage and outstanding in learning. He likes reading books about the basic knowledge of socialism and Marxism–Leninism. He also taught himself Russian, was proficient in English, and usually practiced guns. It is said that his marksmanship is very accurate, and Shen Zhiyue once claimed to be both civil and military.
In this way, Shen Zhiyue covered with * * * to make the skin of the underground members of the party, and performed tasks for Dai Li everywhere. As early as the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, Shen Zhiyue tricked and assassinated eight members of the * * * Production Party in Hangzhou and Shanghai respectively.
After these things intensified, the spy contest between the two parties intensified. The Central Bureau of Statistics has been monitoring Yan 'an's every move for a long time, such as setting up investigation departments in the first and eighth war zones, secretly setting up investigation agencies in the northwest, and setting up investigation rooms in the office of the commander-in-chief of the Jin-Sui border region.
1April, 938, with the consent of the national government, two university professors, Liu Yongchuan and Xiao Zhiping, visited Yan 'an. The reason for this visit is: out of long-term sympathy for China, they want to deepen their understanding of Yan 'an.
At this time, Dai Li arranged for Shen Zhiyue to go with two professors. Shen Zhiyue changed his name to Shenhui, and took his wife Xiao as Xiao Zhiping's assistant.
According to Wang Fang's memory, four people arrived in Yan 'an in mid-April. 1938. Shen Zhiyue has always claimed to be Professor Xiao Zhiping's personal assistant and studied at Chongqing Central University. During the conversation, some golden sentences in Marxist-Leninist books often burst out, and he made the revolutionary views clear.
At that time, Mao Zedong and Xiao Zhiping had a personal friendship, which made the professor's delegation go smoothly. During this period, they not only visited the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, Northern Shaanxi Government School and Lu Yi University. I also learned about the training of the Red Army staying in Yan 'an.
At first, Shen Zhiyue kept a low profile and modesty when meeting us in party member. He seldom spoke, but he was respectful and gentle, and expressed his willingness to chat with the Eighth Route Army comrades in the hope of increasing his feelings.
Later, in his spare time, Shen Zhiyue became very fond of sports and asked his Eighth Route Army comrades to play basketball. After such exchanges, Shen Zhiyue gradually made many friends with the Eighth Route Army in Yan 'an.
Later, after the visit, Liu Yongchuan and Xiao Zhiping left Yan 'an, while Shen Zhiyue and his wife took the initiative to apply, hoping to stay and take part in the revolution. Our party didn't see the clue, and thought that Shen Zhiyue was a good man at ordinary times, and his views and theories supported the revolution everywhere, so it agreed.
But soon, our party's anti-espionage personnel in northern Shaanxi paid attention to Shen Zhiyue.
Zhou Xing, then director of the Northern Shaanxi Frontier Defense Bureau, was a master of counterintelligence. He soon found Shen Zhiyue with Wang Fan, deputy director, and interrogated him face to face. Shen Zhiyue know each other's purpose, even calmly hide, let Zhou Xing can't find a flaw.
And Shen Zhiyue also deliberately made a small mistake to attract Zhou Xing's attention. Shen Zhiyue said that he was from Xixian County, Henan Province, but Zhou Xing recognized that he had a Zhejiang accent, so he talked to him again and again. Shen Zhiyue is steady and generous, and easily explains that he moved to Shanghai with his uncle in his early years, so he has some Zhejiang accent.
Zhou Xing was dubious, so he ordered someone to investigate his specific situation when he was studying at Chongqing Central University. But before that, military spies concealed Shen Zhiyue's identity in advance, which made his student identity very real. The underground party organization that was investigated found no loopholes in him.
So, Shen Zhiyue passed Zhou Xing's suspicion and successfully lurked up.
Later, Shen Zhiyue got the opportunity to study in the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University. Under his arrangement, his wife successfully attended a public school in northern Shaanxi and sneaked into the party organization in China.
During college, Shen Zhiyue's psychological quality is still very strong. Once, among the students in class, he sneaked into several members of the security department and secretly investigated whether there were Kuomintang agents among the students.
While everyone was listening attentively, a teacher suddenly jumped out and pointed at the students and shouted, "Look, look, that's the spy sent by the Kuomintang."
At this time, the people in the security office will quickly write down the appearance of the frightened person and deal with it afterwards. However, Shen Zhiyue has always been calm and irrelevant. He is not only outstanding in academic performance, positive in performance, but also responsible for the director. Soon, he was appreciated by the leaders and promoted to district captain and then to battalion chief.
Soon, Shen Zhiyue graduated smoothly and became a lieutenant colonel's staff officer of the left-behind corps, responsible for taking over the affairs in some organs. In this process, Shen Zhiyue often comes into contact with senior leaders, including Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai. Shen Zhiyue saw that the goal was in sight and worked harder.
According to his own memory, he once worked as Mao Zedong's private secretary for nearly a year. Is it true or not?
If it is true, it must be an extremely dangerous espionage incident, but some people learned from Wang Dongxing and Liu Kou, the heads of the central security department, that they have always insisted on denying it. In fact, Comrade Mao Zedong never appointed Shen Zhiyue as his secretary.
Since then, Lingyun, who is in charge of the core work of anti-espionage, recalled that Shen Zhiyue really sneaked into Yan 'an in those years, probably in August of 1938, and participated in the second phase of study at the Anti-Japanese University and joined the Party after graduation. However, when the political censorship in Yan 'an became more and more strict, Shen Zhiyue fled despondently. As for becoming Mao Zedong's secretary, he probably made up his own boast.
But lurking in Yan' an is definitely true, and it is obviously impossible to be a secretary. After all, Mao Zedong's secretary has a clear record in the book. No matter the records at that time or the modern historical materials, there is no Shen Zhiyue's name at all, and even those central officials have never seen the shadow of Shen Zhiyue.
According to Wang Fang's memory, his memory shows that Shen Zhiyue once sneaked into the central * * * department to be responsible for receiving and dispatching, which made Mao Zedong suspicious, so he transferred Shen Zhiyue to Zhejiang White Area.
But before that, Shen Zhiyue did try to take murder action. He once found a spy colleague looking for his mark under the old elm beside the cave where he lived. That's a folded cigarette box note. Shen Zhiyue secretly opened it and found that his colleague asked him to meet at Du Fu Temple in Ganquan County at noon the next day. Shen Zhiyue's eyelids jumped at once, and he was afraid. He quickly burned the secret book and couldn't sleep for a night.
The next day, after careful consideration, he still dared not keep the appointment, and finally failed to get in touch with this spy colleague.
1938, the situation is getting more and more tense. The guards in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region found a monk acting suspiciously in the ancient temple under Baota shan in Yan 'an. He often had sex with the owner of the grocery store, so the guards arrested the monk for questioning. It turned out that he was a special agent sent by C.O. to Yan 'an. After he confessed, he lurked in Yan 'an for two years, and all the information he collected was handed over to the online.
Soon, the security bureau arrested the owner of the grocery store. The shopkeeper finally admitted that he was a spy, and revealed that the military sent another agent to sneak into Yan 'an, with the purpose of assassinating Mao Zedong.
When the security personnel reported the news to Zhou Xing, he was very upset and immediately felt the seriousness of the matter, which was urgent. To this end, we quickly increased manpower to strengthen the security work for leaders such as Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, and also set up the Central Security Section in Yang Jialing, and specially set up a security class for Mao Zedong, with Ye Zilong as the monitor.
After these jobs were done, Zhou Xing immediately launched a large-scale investigation of the surrounding areas, but for a whole year, no suspicious agents were found.
During this period, it happened that Shen Zhiyue didn't choose to meet in the temple. Shen Zhiyue chose silence and waited for the development of things. He didn't cooperate with his colleagues' actions, which led to the loss of contact between the two sides and the assassination plan was forced to fail.
Shen Zhiyue arrived in the New Fourth Army and became Zhang's subordinate, the third detachment. While working for the producer of * * *, he secretly collected information and reported it to Dai Li of Zhongzheng Bureau.
Shen Zhiyue played an important role in the Southern Anhui Incident. According to the data of Taiwan Province Province, the Southern Anhui Incident was caused by the leakage of our party's military secrets to the Kuomintang. Shen Zhiyue is mainly responsible for collecting and reporting this important information.
After the founding of New China, the Chiang Kai-shek clique was forced to retreat to Taiwan Province Province, but the struggle between countries continued. Agents scattered all over China are still working for the Kuomintang.
1in April, 963, when Comrade Liu Shaoqi visited Cambodia, Shen Zhiyue was ordered to sneak into Macau and prepare to assassinate our leader. When Shen Zhiyue arrived in Macau, he changed his name to Sun Zichao. He opened rooms in the Alliance Hotel and Xinxin Hotel respectively, but lived in the Macao Special Base.
Unfortunately, this move was learned by our party's intelligence department before Shen Zhiyue entered Macau. Our party intercepted the list of people Shen Zhiyue met in Macau and sent telegrams and letters to Taiwan Province Province.
Therefore, the Ministry of Public Security contacted Macao through diplomatic means, which enabled the Macao authorities to quickly send troops to arrest Shen Zhiyue or the spy and expel him back to Taiwan Province Province.
Supposedly, our party can't tolerate reactionary spies like Shen Zhiyue, but why did Comrade Deng Xiaoping visit him in person?
The thing is, after Jiang Jingguo's death, cross-strait relations eased a lot. Shen Zhiyue used to be the director of the Taiwan Province Secret Service, but she was diagnosed with cancer. At that time, Taiwan Province Province could not help Shen Zhiyue in medical treatment. His wife suggested going back to Chinese mainland for medical treatment.
Shen Zhiyue, who was very old and seriously ill, was homesick, so he met the descendants of his old classmates Zhang Aiping and Li Shizhen. During the conversation, Comrade Zhang Aiping spoke highly of Shen Zhiyue, praising him with such words: being both civil and military, managing the country well, having two masters for one thing, and not hurting both interests.
Later, Taiwan Province authorities suspected that Shen Zhiyue was a double agent. Therefore, when Shen Zhiyue suffered from cancer in his later years and chose to go back to China for medical treatment, Comrade Deng Xiaoping personally met Shen Zhiyue out of a smile and cross-strait brotherhood.
However, during Shen Zhiyue's treatment in the motherland, because the cancer has reached the advanced stage, it has not been cured. Shen Zhiyue returned to Taiwan Province province after a round of treatment, and finally died seriously in 1994 at the age of 8 1.
