These nearly 1,000 people were the first batch of Japanese war criminals and puppet Manchurian war criminals repatriated by the former Soviet Union. Soon after, the train arrived in Fushun, Liaoning Province, and the war criminals on board were detained in the newly renovated Fushun War Crimes Management Office. At that time, because we did not fully grasp the detailed information and situation of these war criminals, our army launched a screening and inventory of war criminals in full swing.
One day, our army staff took a large stack of resumes that had already been designed and distributed them to the imprisoned war criminals, asking them to fill them out seriously and truthfully. After the war criminals filled out the resume form, our military staff began to review the collected resumes. However, in the process of reviewing resumes, our army staff quickly discovered a special situation-a puppet Manchu war criminal named "Zhang", who said in his resume that he had participated in the Northeast Youth Salvation Association and wrote the name of the witness.
The Northeast Youth Salvation Association was a secret anti-Japanese organization spontaneously established by the Northeast youth studying in Japan, and later developed into a secret intelligence organization of our party in the Northeast. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, the comrades of the Northeast Youth Salvation Association sent a lot of useful Japanese and puppet troops information to the organization on the dangerous and cruel hidden front, and they made many outstanding achievements on the battlefield without smoke.
What's going on here? At first, our military staff were dubious and didn't believe it at all. Because according to the information provided by the former Soviet Union, this puppet Manchurian war criminal named "Zhang" is the son of the great traitor Zhang Jinghui (then Prime Minister of Manchukuo) and has been engaged in translation work beside his father Zhang Jinghui. How did Zhang Can Ji Shao's family background and work experience become a member of the Northeast Youth Salvation Association?
However, Zhang, the son of a traitor, not only said in his resume that he had participated in the Northeast Youth Salvation Association, but also wrote the name of a referee. This made our military staff suspicious again. Is it true what is said in the resume? If this is true, it means that Zhang is one of our own and a red spy lurking inside the enemy. Thought of here, our army staff suddenly felt that things were important and complicated!
What shall we do? Our military staff dare not be careless and report the situation to the superior person in charge immediately. When the person in charge of the higher level learned about this incident, he was also confused and couldn't figure out whether it was true or not. Fortunately, Zhang provided the name of the referee in his resume-Zhang Weixian (founder of Northeast Youth Salvation Association). Our military staff can find Zhang Weixian and use him to filter the information in a resume.
Later, after searching in many ways, our army staff finally found new references, Zhang Weixian and Zhang. At this time, Zhang Weixian is already a cadre of the Northeast Ministry of Public Security. Under his strong proof, the true identity of Zhang, the so-called puppet Manchukuo war criminal and the son of traitor Zhang Jinghui, was finally clarified. As Zhang said in his resume, he is indeed a member of the Northeast Youth Salvation Association and a red spy fighting on the hidden front.
After the truth came out, Zhang was quickly released. Because Zhang was familiar with Japanese and puppet war criminals, he was assigned to work in Fushun War Criminals Management Office. From the imprisoned puppet Manchurian war criminals to the cadres of the war criminals management office, Zhang's gorgeous turn is really surprising. Zhang himself has mixed feelings. Later, he changed his name to "Zhang Mengshi", which means that the revolutionary dream has finally come true!
So, what kind of person is Zhang who changed his name to "Zhang Mengshi"? How did he join the Northeast Youth Salvation Association and become a red agent? Why were they detained by the former Soviet Union together with those Japanese and puppet war criminals? With this series of questions, let's talk about the legendary life of the red agent "involuntarily, the road can be found by himself" (for convenience, it will be called Zhang Mengshi below).
Zhang Mengshi was born in Beiping at that time on 1922. His father, Zhang Jinghui, was closely related to Zhang, the leader of Bong warlord. He used to be the deputy commander of Fengjun, representing Zhang in Peiping. In the first direct service war, Zhang Jinghui also served as the commander-in-chief of Feng Jun West Road, and later served as the army chief and industrial chief.
1On June 4th, 928, Zhang Jinghui left Beiping with Zhang and returned to the northeast. On the way, the Japanese invaders planned and created the "Huanggutun Incident" which caused a sensation at home and abroad. At that time, Zhang was killed and Zhang Jinghui was seriously injured, but somehow he recovered his life. During Zhang Xueliang's administration in Northeast China, Zhang Jinghui was still highly regarded, and he was appointed as the chief executive of "East Special Zone" (then referred to as the Middle East Railway Company).
After the change of flag in Northeast China, Zhang Jinghui was sent to Nanjing as the Speaker of the Military Senate of the National Government. However, after the "September 18th Incident" broke out, the shameless Zhang Jinghui openly betrayed the country and defected to the enemy, becoming a running dog of the Japanese invaders. During the Puppet Manchukuo period, Zhang Jinghui successively served as Speaker of the Senate, Chief Military Officer and Minister of State, and became a big traitor reviled.
Growing up in such a family, although Zhang Mengshi lived a luxurious life, his spiritual world was miserable. According to Zhang Mengshi's later memories, when he was in middle school, one thing touched him greatly, which made him gradually wake up from a bright and beautiful dream and found a correct way of life.
At that time, although Zhang Mengshi was very influential at home, Zhang Mengshi was not liked by teachers and classmates at school. Why is this? The reason is simple: Zhang Mengshi's father, Zhang Jinghui, is a big traitor. When studying at school, students not only deliberately alienated Zhang Mengshi, but also always hit Zhang Mengshi intentionally or unintentionally, or pushed Zhang Mengshi. Slowly, Zhang Mengshi's character became more and more withdrawn and his heart became more and more painful.
In such an environment, Zhang Mengshi resented and hated. He complained that his father, Zhang Jinghui, was a slave to the Japanese invaders. He hates God for letting himself be born in such a family. On one occasion, Zhang Mengshi ran away from home, and he wanted to break away from this suffocating "cage" too much. However, Zhang Mengshi did not succeed. Father Zhang Jinghui learned that his son had run away from home, and immediately used his power to let his spies find Zhang Mengshi and "escort" Zhang Mengshi home.
1938, 16-year-old Zhang received a letter from his cousin who was studying in Japan. In the letter, my cousin encouraged Zhang to study in Japan and see more of the outside world. At this time, Zhang seemed to see the dawn of leaving the "cage", and he decided to study in Japan like his cousin. From 65438 to 0940, Zhang Mengshi was sent to Waseda University by his father Zhang Jinghui. At the moment he stepped on the boat, Zhang Mengshi was so happy that his dream of breaking free from the "cage" finally came true!
During his study in Japan, Zhang Mengshi was "free" a lot, and he could do things according to his hobbies. At this time, Zhang Mengshi knew that his cousin Zhang Jiwei had joined the party organization and secretly engaged in revolutionary work. In this way, under the influence of my cousin Zhang Jiwei, Zhang Mengshi began to contact Marxist-Leninist works, and his thoughts were quickly baptized.
At that time, the Northeast youth studying in Japan spontaneously formed an organization called "Northeast Youth Salvation Association". Zhang Mengshi asked his cousin Zhang Jiwei to introduce himself to the Northeast Youth Salvation Association. At first, Zhang Weixian, the head of the Northeast Youth Salvation Association, considered Zhang Mengshi's special status and did not agree to his membership. However, after a period of full understanding and investigation, Zhang Weixian agreed to Zhang Mengshi's request.
Zhang Mengshi recalled in his later years that after he joined the Northeast Youth Salvation Association, he began to engage in intelligence work in secret. At that time, if you want to do a good job in intelligence, you must have a "thing" to protect yourself. After careful consideration, Zhang Mengshi finally decided to collect useful information from his father Zhang Jinghui under the cover of his family. After all, my father Zhang Jinghui is the prime minister of the puppet Manchukuo, and he must have mastered a lot of top secret information.
As the saying goes, the road of life is your own choice, and you have come out step by step. Zhang Mengshi can't change his family background, but he can choose his own life path. 194 1 10 One day at the beginning of the year, Zhang Mengshi returned from Japan to visit relatives, and his father Zhang Jinghui was very happy. However, Zhang Jinghui never imagined that Zhang Mengshi, his son, was not the Zhang Mengshi he used to be-Zhang Mengshi came back to visit relatives this time, shouldering an important task.
At that time, the situation in World War II changed greatly. As Germany invaded the former Soviet Union, the former Soviet Union should seriously consider a question-as an ally of Germany, will Japan attack the former Soviet Union in the Far East? This is related to the arrangement of the former Soviet Union in the East and West. In this context, the former Soviet Union asked China to provide it with intelligence support.
Soon after, our party's northeast intelligence organization received this important task-to find out the military plan of the Japanese invaders. After some analysis, the organization handed the task to Zhang Mengshi, because Zhang Mengshi's father, Zhang Jinghui, must hold important information in this respect. Therefore, Zhang Mengshi soon returned to China from Japan on the grounds of visiting relatives, and was going to find out relevant information from his father Zhang Jinghui-specifically, to find out the whereabouts of Japanese aggressor Lieutenant General Yamashita.
Yamashita Tomomi was the chief of staff of the North China Army of the Japanese invaders, the commander of the Fourth Division of the Kwantung Army, the director of the Japanese aviation and the director of the aviation headquarters, and is now the commander of the puppet Manchukuo Defence Force. Earlier, the former Soviet Union had received news that Yamashita Tomoko was about to accept a new task, but what the new task was was unknown. Therefore, the former Soviet Union was anxious to know whether the specific destination of Yamashita Tomoko was "going north" or "going south".
"Northward" refers to attacking the former Soviet Union; "Going south" means going to the Pacific battlefield. In other words, after Zhang Mengshi returned to his father Zhang Jinghui, it was extremely filial to try to repair the relationship with his father that had been cracked before in order to successfully complete the task. Father Zhang Jinghui is very happy about this, and often praises his son for growing up and knowing his father's hard work.
Since then, Zhang Mengshi has made a request to his father Zhang Jinghui while the iron is hot-hoping to study and experience in his father's office. Father Zhang Jinghui didn't know this was Zhang Mengshi's plan, so he readily agreed. In this way, Zhang Mengshi had the "power" to freely enter and leave Zhang Jinghui's father's office. Zhang Jinghui minions, all know the identity of Zhang Mengshi, also dare not say more about it.
One day, Zhang Mengshi came to his father's office fair and square while his father Zhang Jinghui was away. After entering the office, Zhang Mengshi observed the surrounding environment, then quietly closed the door and began to search for relevant confidential documents inside. In a short time, Zhang Mengshi found an envelope marked "Secret", which had been opened by his father Zhang Jinghui. Zhang Mengshi was very excited and immediately took out the documents inside.
It turns out that this is a secret document about "Yamashita Wen Feng resigned as commander of the puppet Manchukuo Defence Force". However, the document did not write the next step under the mountain. Meng Zhang was inevitably a little lost after reading the document, but he didn't give up, thinking: "Since he can find the secret document in his father Zhang Jinghui's office, then his father Zhang Jinghui must know more important information!"
As Zhang Mengshi expected, not long after, Zhang Mengshi was "learning and experiencing" in his father Zhang Jinghui's office, and Gu Ciheng, who was the traffic minister of the puppet Manchukuo, came to Zhang Jinghui's office to report his work. Through the conversation between his father, Zhang Jinghui, and Gu Jiheng, Zhang Mengshi got an important message-there was a fierce debate between "going north" and "going south" within the Japanese army, and the Japanese navy supporting "going south" gained the upper hand.
On the surface, this important message doesn't mention Yamashita Tomoko, which seems useless. However, if this important information is combined with the secret document "Yamashita Wen Feng resigned as commander of the puppet Manchukuo Defence Force", it will be different. Therefore, after analysis and judgment, Zhang Mengshi believes that the next step under the mountain must be the Pacific battlefield, and it is impossible to attack the former Soviet Union northward.
Thought of here, Zhang Mengshi immediately secretly passed all the information and his own judgment to the organization. Later, the former Soviet Union combined the information provided by Zhang Mengshi and other collected information and came to the conclusion that the Japanese army would not attack the former Soviet Union. In this way, the former Soviet Union dispatched troops to concentrate on the German attack. Facts have proved that the information and judgment provided by Zhang Mengshi are correct and played a very key role in the victorious development of the Second World War.
In this intelligence work, Zhang Mengshi was quickly praised and praised by the organization because of his outstanding performance. From 65438 to 0943, Meng Zhang returned to China after finishing his studies at Waseda University, and worked as a translator beside his father Zhang Jinghui. Soon, Zhang Mengshi was appointed as the head of Changchun Intelligence Group, and officially began a dangerous and cruel "latent" career. During this period, Zhang Mengshi has been using the identity of "the son of the prime minister" to continuously transmit information to the organization and made many contributions on the hidden front.
According to Zhang Mengshi's memory, in order to collect all kinds of useful information, he relied on his father Zhang Jinghui's relationship and became a frequent visitor to the reception of senior officials of the Puppet Manchukuo and poker games. Whenever Zhang Mengshi gets useful information, he writes it in the margin of the published magazine with rice soup or milk, and then passes it on. In order to keep his work hidden, Zhang Mengshi hid secret information in his father Zhang Jinghui's study, and at the same time asked his wife Xu Ming to keep watch for himself so as not to be noticed by his family.
Zhang Jinghui, then prime minister of Manchukuo, never imagined that his study had become an important place for his son Zhang Mengshi to write secret information, keep secret documents, and even meet secretly and hold group meetings. Speaking of it, it's also ridiculous. A pair of father and son looked up but didn't look down. The father was a traitor and the son was a red agent.
During this period, his wife Xu Ming was Zhang Mengshi's wife. She not only took good care of Zhang Mengshi's life, but also actively participated in intelligence work. They have a harmonious relationship and deep feelings. His wife Xu Ming was originally a servant of Zhang Mengshi's family. It is also a very legendary love story that they fell in love and finally entered the marriage hall.
Born in poverty, Xu Ming came to Zhang Mengshi's house as a servant very early to wait on Zhang Mengshi's mother's diet and daily life. However, Zhang Mengshi's mother doesn't like Xu Ming. She often dislikes Xu Ming's clumsiness and scolds Xu Ming for not knowing how to read and read. On one occasion, Zhang Mengshi's mother was angry because of trivial matters, and beat Xu Ming kneeling on the ground with a feather duster. Thin Xu Ming didn't give in. She gritted her teeth silently and never admitted her mistake loudly.
At this time, Zhang Mengshi, who came to visit her mother, saw this scene. He can't stand it. He kindly said to Xu Ming, who was kneeling on the ground, "Just admit your mistake so that the old lady won't hit you!" But Xu Ming didn't understand Zhang Mengshi's kindness, and still didn't apologize for mercy. As a result, Zhang Mengshi lost his compassion for Xu Ming, but he really admired Xu Ming.
In the days of separation, they often write to each other, and a sweet feeling arises spontaneously. After Zhang Mengshi returned from studying in Japan, his mother was very concerned about his marriage. She often set out to find a suitable woman for her son. At this time, Zhang Mengshi said his true thoughts: "I am not Xu Ming!"
Because of Zhang Mengshi's words, the mother fell ill with anger, and she would never let her son marry Xu Ming. Later, Zhang Mengshi's father, Zhang Jinghui, came forward to persuade him: "I think that girl is quite good, why don't we fulfill our son!" ! It's better to say everything than to be content with your son! "
As the saying goes, much trouble grinds! Later, at Zhang Mengshi's insistence, my mother finally agreed. 1943, Zhang Mengshi and Xu Ming held a grand wedding, and they officially got married. At this time, Xu Ming knew and supported Zhang Mengshi's career. With the help of Xu Ming, Zhang Mengshi's secret intelligence work is getting better and better. They sing with their husbands, live a warm and sweet life and really envy others!
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, according to the arrangement of the organization, Zhang Mengshi continued to lurk in the puppet Manchukuo and used his identity to establish contact with the former Soviet army. During this period, Zhang Mengshi provided a lot of information to the former Soviet Union, and made many positive contributions to eliminating the remnants of bandits in Changchun, maintaining public order in Changchun and dealing with various complex problems.
One day, Zhang Mengshi learned that the top officials of the Puppet Manchukuo, including his father Zhang Jinghui, were preparing to flee Changchun. At this critical juncture, the organization asked Zhang Mengshi to help the former Soviet army catch these puppet Manchurian high-level officials who planned to escape. Since then, Zhang Mengshi, as the translator of his father Zhang Jinghui, cooperated with the former Soviet army and went door to door to take away those puppet Manchus. Even his father, Zhang Jinghui, was sent to the former Soviet army by Zhang Mengshi in the name of "meeting".
However, as a red agent, Zhang Mengshi can only show that he is "Father Zhang Jinghui's translator" because he has not been made public in the organization. In this way, Zhang Mengshi, who was "misunderstood", was later escorted to the former Soviet Union and held in Boli prison with the puppet Manchukuo war criminals. During this period, Zhang Mengshi lived like a year. He reported to the former Soviet Union many times, explained his true identity and demanded to return to China immediately.
But the answer from the former Soviet Union was that the Second World War had just ended, and there were too many things to identify Zhang Mengshi's true identity. At the same time, the former Soviet Union also told Zhang Mengshi that we would send your people back as soon as the your government was established. In this way, Zhang Mengshi was trapped in the former Soviet Union, unable to escape and unable to prove his identity.
When Zhang Mengshi was trapped, his wife Xu Ming, who was far away in Changchun, raised two children alone and lived in poverty. At that time, young and beautiful Xu Ming was surrounded by suitors, but Xu Ming refused. She said: "I believe that Zhang Mengshi will not leave our mother and son. I can't believe he's dead. I will wait for him to come back. Even if he dies or can't come back, I will never marry again! "
It can be said that the time when Zhang Mengshi was trapped was the most difficult for Xu Ming, but she always believed that when her husband Zhang Mengshi came back!
Time flies. After the founding of New China, it quickly reached an agreement with the former Soviet Union to repatriate the puppet Manchurian war criminals. 1950 Late at night in July, Zhang Mengshi and the puppet Manchukuo war criminals arrived at Suifenhe Station in a stuffy tanker in the former Soviet Union. Soon after, they were put into Fushun War Criminals Management Office, Liaoning Province, ready for reform.
Just as Zhang Mengshi was thinking about how to prove his true identity, our army began screening and inspection. In order to ensure a detailed understanding of the puppet Manchukuo war criminals, our army staff also designed a resume form for the puppet Manchukuo war criminals to fill in truthfully. After receiving his resume, Zhang Mengshi felt it was time to explain his true identity. He wrote in his resume: "Participated in the Northeast Youth Salvation Association" and wrote the name of the witness.
So there is the scene we talked about at the beginning. Finally, after careful screening and investigation, Zhang Mengshi's true identity was finally clarified-he was a red spy lurking inside the puppet Manchukuo. When the truth came out, Zhang Mengshi was filled with emotion. At this time, the new China has been established and the people have lived a happy new life. This means that Zhang Mengshi's lifelong dream has come true. Therefore, Zhang Mengshi changed his name from "Zhang Ji Shao" to "Zhang Mengshi"!
Later, Zhang Mengshi stayed in Fushun War Criminals Management Office, Liaoning Province, and was reunited with his wife Xu Ming and children. At that time, Zhang Mengshi's father Zhang Jinghui realized that his son was different from himself, and what he did was great and correct. Thought of here, once the great traitor Zhang Jinghui shed complicated tears.
1959, the great traitor Zhang Jinghui died in the War Criminals Management Office. Many years later, Zhang Mengshi saw a confession file of his father Zhang Jinghui, and his father Zhang Jinghui wrote gratefully: "Thank you for your generosity and for giving your sons and nephews a way out!" At this point, Zhang Mengshi was in tears and excited!
Later, the red agent Zhang Mengshi was sent to teach at the Beijing Institute of International Relations and was elected as a member of the Seventh China People's Political Consultative Conference. In 20 14, Zhang Mengshi died in Beijing at the age of 92. For his own life, Zhang Mengshi once summed up: "I can't help myself, I can only find my own way!"
Yes, people can't decide their origins, but they can choose the road of life; If you find the right path in life, then you must move forward bravely. ...
Let's pay tribute to Zhang Mengshi! Pay tribute to the countless red agents fighting on the hidden front!
