Guo Rugui, who has been promoted two levels in a row, has not forgotten his roots. At that time, the generals of the national army were chaotic and corrupt. Many generals have luxurious homes, like to visit the kiln and have mistresses. However, Guo Rugui is just the opposite.
Guo Rugui's home furnishings are extremely simple, and most of them are bookcases. This unusual style has also been suspected by others. At a meeting of the Ministry of National Defense, He Zeng said: "Guo Rugui doesn't visit the Confucius Temple or go whoring, which is very abnormal among Kuomintang generals. Let's talk about it Who can do this except * * *? "
After listening to what He said, Chiang Kai-shek not only didn't doubt it, but also spoke for it: "This is the new life I have repeatedly advocated. No one else could do it, but he did it. What's wrong with that? Shouldn't it be praised? "
He Qinying saw that Chiang Kai-shek spoke for him, so he didn't say any more. But Chiang Kai-shek said so, but he didn't think so. He also saw people's dissatisfaction. After the meeting, he appointed Jiang Jingguo to investigate the basis of Guo Rugui.
Jiang Jingguo deliberately picked Guo Rugui's absence and raided Guo Rugui's home in Lane 4 of Yixianqiao. When he saw the house where the Guo family lived, he dismissed his previous ideas and subverted his understanding.
I saw that the house where the Guo family lived was very shabby and the lighting was insufficient. Guo's wife and her daughter are having dinner. The food on the table is very simple. There are three dishes, all vegetarian. As a general in such a position in the national army, it is surprising that Jiang Jingguo lives so frugally.
Then, Jiang Jingguo specially came to Guo Rugui's desk to read his letters. I saw only a few books on the desk, Sun Tzu's Art of War, and an unfinished article, On Ancient Generals Being Generals.
After listening to this praise, Chiang Kai-shek strengthened his confidence in Guo Rugui. Chiang Kai-shek said: "Guo Rugui is the pillar of the party and the country, and the curator of the Third Hall of the Ministry of National Defense is his."
After this incident, Guo Rugui was not only more trusted by Chiang Kai-shek, but also became the object of study for the generals of the national army at that time. It can be said that he was a smash hit and everyone admired him.
Later, when he was the director of the War Department in Guo Rugui for more than two years, he sent an important message to the underground party almost every week, sometimes even once a day. And often draft battle plans for Chiang Kai-shek, Guo Rugui often prepares two battle plans, one reaches Chiang Kai-shek's interior, and the other is given to our army through the underground party.
Until 1947 1 1.4, Guo Rugui said at a meeting: "Liu Bocheng, a communist army, engaged in land reform in Dabie Mountain and established 12 county governments, but the national army was insufficient." Chiang Kai-shek immediately said that Guo Rugui would deploy troops from Xuzhou and Zhengzhou to reinforce the Dabie Mountains.
After the meeting, Guo Rugui returned to the office and drafted an order to deploy the ninth division to reinforce Dabie Mountain in the name of the Ministry of National Defense. After the order was issued, he copied this important information on a small piece of paper and sent it to a grocery store on his way home.
The owner of this grocery store is a contact of the underground party. After receiving the information, he immediately sent it to the relevant units in the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China by radio overnight, and then the central authorities transferred this important information to Xu, commander of Jiaodong Corps.
After receiving the information, Xu decided to concentrate his forces to stop Chiang Kai-shek's deployment. June 7 165438+ Launched Gao Gao's pursuit war ahead of schedule, defeated the troops deployed by Chiang Kai-shek, and lost more than 10,000 people.
It can be said that Guo Rugui is the hero behind this battle. Later, in the battle of 1948 Xubeng, Chiang Kai-shek put forward nine operational plans. After the meeting, Guo Rugui sent all the top secret information to the grocery store owner and the Central Military Commission.
More than that, Guo Rugui repeatedly sent all the top secret documents such as "Defence Equipment Map of Songhu Area" issued by Chiang Kai-shek to our army, which made many plans of Chiang Kai-shek have not been implemented so far, and our army had countermeasures and occupied a certain initiative.
Later, before the Liaoshen Campaign began, Guo Rugui also sent all Chiang Kai-shek's information to the Communist Party of China (CPC). These include Chiang Kai-shek's strategic trends and military actions, and even all Chiang Kai-shek's telecom call signs and passwords were sent to our army.
Sometimes Guo Rugui will take the initiative to draft a battle plan for Chiang Kai-shek, mobilize a division or an army to a certain place, deliberately lead Chiang into a trap, and then report to the Chinese Communist Party. Our army received the information and ambushed in time, which made Chiang Kai-shek passive everywhere in the Liaoshen campaign and hardly won the battle.
Du sued Chiang Kai-shek many times for this, and he was an ordinary spy. But Chiang Kai-shek has been using Jiang Jingguo's investigation results of Guo Rugui to prevaricate Du Yu Ming. He also insisted that Guo Rugui was a loyal and diligent generation.
However, although Chiang Kai-shek trusted Guo Rugui very much, he had to doubt Guo Rugui, because he suffered many setbacks in Liaoshen Campaign and ignored the opposition of people around him.
From 1948 to 65438+February, Guo Rugui was often sent by Chiang Kai-shek or did something unimportant. In short, he was not allowed to attend important meetings. Guo Rugui himself is aware of this, and often feels that there is always a "tail" behind him when he walks on the road.
Guo Rugui feels that the situation is not good, and it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. He reported upwards through Ren Lianru, the liaison officer of the Communist Party of China, and asked to work in the liberated areas. But after careful consideration, Guo Rugui decided to gain the relieving first. At that time, he was leading an uprising to promote the liberation of southwest China, and its role and influence were far better than returning to the liberated areas now.
Then, Guo Rugui proposed to Chiang Kai-shek that he wanted to go to Sichuan, rebuild an army, and then return to the front. Chiang Kai-shek was also very grateful for this. He said Guo Rugui was very chivalrous. So he agreed to Guo Rugui's request and appointed him as the commander of the seventy-two army.
After Guo Rugui came to Sichuan, he began to form troops and held a mobilization meeting, saying: whoever can recruit a company, let him be the company commander, and whoever can recruit a battalion, let him be the battalion commander. The enthusiasm of the whole army was mobilized, and in less than two months, both divisions were filled.
Subsequently, Guo Rugui led all the soldiers of the 72nd Army to revolt in Yibin, Sichuan, and issued an uprising telegram through Xinhua News Agency. Officially incorporated into the People's Liberation Army.
When the news of Guo Rugui Uprising reached Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek was very angry and said, "I used the wrong person. It turned out that he was a spy around me. No wonder I was known so clearly as soon as I directed the operation. "
Until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Guo Rugui was appointed as the director of the communication department and taught at Nanjing Military Academy. He is often asked to introduce himself to the students. Guo Rugui always smiled faintly and said, "I just did what I should do. I didn't do enough. There is nothing to talk about. I am an ordinary teacher now, and most of my students are war heroes and senior commanders of the People's Liberation Army. Their contribution is worth learning for a lifetime. "
It was not until 1966 that Guo Rugui was demobilized to Chongqing, Sichuan, and served as the head of the deputy corps. During this period, he often revisited Nanjing. In order to compile relevant books, he repeatedly searched for hundreds of battle plans and orders he had made for Chiang Kai-shek.
In this way, Guo Rugui lived to 1997. On the way to send his daughter home, he died in a car accident at the age of 90.
Lao Guo lived a thrilling and tortuous life, risking his life to lurk beside Chiang Kai-shek. A newspaper in Taiwan Province Province said: "Guo Rugui is the top red spy and the most successful big spy at all times and in all countries."
