The legendary armed forces of Hong Kong and Guangdong in the Anti-Japanese War, and the * * * Hong Kong and Kowloon Brigade, which cooperated deeply with the Allies, went back.

During the Anti-Japanese War, it was in Guangdong and Hong Kong along the southeast coast of China. The most outstanding resistance movement against Japan was Dongjiang Column led by * * *, and its perfect intelligence gathering ability attracted the attention of the United States, an ally at that time. American intelligence agencies, which have always only regarded * * * * * as partners, began to take aim at * * *. The "rescue of Kerr" in February and March 1944 became an opportunity for Dongzong to cooperate with the US military. Donald Kerr took a photo with his wife Vader H Kerr after returning to Pittsburgh from the front? On February 11, 1944, the 14th Air Force of the US Army attacked Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong. Lieutenant Kerr was forced to skydive because of being shot by a fighter plane. Fortunately, he was rescued by the Hong Kong Kowloon Brigade and was able to escape. In the rescue operation for nearly a month, the huge and meticulous personnel network of Dongjiang column, from soldiers to villagers, Qi Xin joined forces, as well as commander Zeng Sheng, who knows English, and Li Zhaohua, a Malaysian returned overseas Chinese warrior. . . Both left a deep and good impression on Kerr. After Kerr went back, he reported his rescue to Chennault, the captain of the 14th Air Force. Considering Dongzhong's excellent experience in international cooperation, Chennault decided to join hands directly with Dongjiang Column after consulting Washington. Kerr shook hands with Chinese rescuers? In October, 1944, the US military sent Major O 'Daiyi, the technical research department of land and air operations, to Dongjiang column. After seeing the commander Zeng Sheng, O 'Dai Yi took out a thank-you letter from General Chennault, in which he thanked the guerrillas for rescuing Kerr, and put forward the requirement of intelligence cooperation with Dongzhong. Ou Daiyi's visit to Guangdong is to ask Dongzhong to help set up a radio station to collect all kinds of intelligence and meteorological data of Japanese troops in Hong Kong and Kowloon and provide them to the US military. Although the Dongjiang column was behind the enemy lines, it had established radio contact with the CPC Central Committee, and the Dongjiang column immediately asked the Central Committee for instructions and got specific instructions from the Central Committee. On October 13, 1944, the Dongjiang column of Zhou Enlai re-wired for instructions: "Regarding the diplomatic work policy, I hope that it will be handled in accordance with the instructions of the Central Committee on August 18 (another telegram). When you talk with Dr. Ou, you can welcome cooperation, and you can agree to set up radio stations, collect information, scout meteorology and train blasting. If you have other requirements, you can call Yan' an for instructions, and hope to cable the Central Committee for the meeting. Zeng Sheng, a major general of the founding of the People's Republic of China, was the first deputy commander of the South China Sea Fleet, and the Minister of Communications. In order to facilitate cooperation with the allies, Dongjiang Column also set up a liaison office as a special intelligence department, which was in charge of intelligence work in the enemy-occupied areas along the coast of Guangdong and the Pearl River Delta, and was responsible for contacting the US military observation group and exchanging Japanese intelligence. Yuan Geng is the director of the Intelligence Department, and Huang Zuomei is the chief translator and liaison officer of the liaison office. At this time, the East Longitudinal Command was on its way from Pingshan to Luofu Mountain, but Commander Zeng Sheng held a welcoming ceremony. Forty-six years later, Yuan Geng still clearly remembers this "simple and moving welcome banquet" and the scene where Zeng Sheng introduced himself, Huang Zuomei, the chief translation liaison officer, and Lin Zhan, an enemy engineering student of the Political Department, to Ou Daiyi. The burly, blond Ou Daiyi's appearance in Dongzhongfu inevitably made him "very eye-catching" (in Yuan Geng). In order to avoid attracting the attention of the enemy and the puppet troops, Ou Daiyi's observation group was called "Security and Secrecy Group" in Dongzong. Accompanied by the translator Huang Zuomei, it was hidden in the underground party member's home on the north side of Luofu Mountain. Through the secret radio set up, the air passage between the guerrilla zone in South China and the 14th Air Force of the United States and the Pacific Fleet Command was established. Thus began the "honeymoon period" of intelligence cooperation between Dongjiang column and allied forces. Yuan Geng? In order to cooperate with the allied counter-offensive, this special intelligence department of Dongjiang Column was gradually expanded to 2 staff, and the intelligence stations were distributed in all Japanese-occupied areas from Hong Kong in the south, Guangzhou in the north, Hailufeng in the east and the east bank of the Pearl River in the west. In almost 11 months, Dongjiang Column provided a lot of very valuable information to the 14th Air Force and the US Army Command in China. In this regard, an American general marveled: This (Dongjiang guerrilla zone) can be called "the most important intelligence station of allied forces in southeast China". After the Japanese army invaded Hong Kong, it expanded Kai Tak Airport into a base for bombing and threatening China's coastal areas and inland areas, and controlling the air and sea over the South Pacific. The first bombing of the allied forces failed to achieve the expected results. In order to accurately and effectively blow up the Japanese base, the British and American allied forces sent intelligence personnel several times and spent more than three months in-depth investigation and field reconnaissance of the airport in Hong Kong and Kowloon, and found nothing. In the autumn of 1944, the allied forces sent representatives to find the Dongjiang Column Command and asked for cooperation in collecting information from the Japanese Kai Tak Airport. Dongjiang Column Command handed this task to the Hong Kong and Kowloon Brigade. Wu Zhan, the head of the brigade, Huang Guanfang, the squadron leader of Saigon, and Liu Heizai looked for a teenager called Mouse Boy (meaning "burrowing and stealing"). Under the guidance of intelligence personnel, this group of children got into the airport several times for three days with a tape measure and a pen and paper, and drew a sketch and recorded it in detail. Dongjiang Column and the Portrait of Liu Heizai, a Legend in Guangdong. When these important information reached the allied forces, even some senior military spies were amazed: it was amazing that you managed to easily handle places that we failed to enter for months in a few days. In December, 1944, the 4th Fleet of Nimitz, Commander-in-Chief of the US Pacific Fleet, and the 14th Air Force of Chennault prepared to carry out a joint bombing of Japanese troops stationed in Hong Kong. In order to achieve the bombing effect without harming civilians, the Allies, through Ou Daiyi, asked Dongjiang Column to provide accurate bombing target information in advance and bombing effect information afterwards. Yuan Geng immediately launched various contact points in Hong Kong to collect relevant information: 15-year-old intelligence agent Huang Wen, as a handyman, often went in and out of the document mimeograph room of the Japanese military police division in Kowloon; Wen Shu Junlian, a female intelligence agent, kept waiting on the 4th floor of No.8 Yulin Terrace in Central for many days, monitoring the berthing of Japanese ships in Victoria Harbour with binoculars. Soon, Yuan Geng sent out the information about the bombing target, including the hangar of the Japanese army at Kai Tak Airport, the model and activity rules of ships off the coast of Hong Kong, the accurate orientation map of Lei Yue Mun Fort and Castle Peak Road Arsenal, etc. These bombing targets are far away from residential buildings. Today, it has become a scene of Lei Yue Mun Fort in the Museum of Coastal Defence. A few days before the scheduled bombing, Yuan Geng and two scouts were escorted by the Hong Kong-Kowloon detachment. They crept up the Diamond Hill behind Kai Tak Airport in the early hours of the scheduled bombing to observe the two air strikes by the US military. After the bombing, Yuan Geng and others went back to the contact point boundary street through the city, asked several underground contact points about the situation, and compiled a report on the air raid effect. Four days later, O 'Dai Yi got the bombing effect investigation materials and immediately sent a message to the 14th Air Force and the 4th Fleet. Analysis of the "Mystery of Missing" of Polei Troops of the Elite Japanese Division in China In the autumn of 1944, a plan to land in South China of China was brewing in the headquarters of the US Fourth Fleet. At the same time, the requirements and instructions of collecting Japanese coastal intelligence issued by Yan 'an through the * * * Southern Bureau are becoming more and more frequent. In cooperation with it, the secret military information about the Japanese army's air and sea protection was continuously transmitted to Nimitz by the liaison office in Yuan Geng. But in March of the following year, a news made Nimitz very worried. The Japanese 129th Division, code-named "Bolei", which had hit the defenders hard in Hengyang Campaign, suddenly disappeared mysteriously. During that time, the US military used three radio stations every day to form a cross signal to track the movement of this unit, but nothing was captured. At the same time, Captain Ganz of the US Navy led a six-member team to Dongzhong, trying to survey a beachhead position suitable for US troops to land between Daya Bay and Shantou. The Liaison Office dispatched an intelligence team led by Huang Kang, a former student of Sun Yat-sen University, to survey the coast from Shenzhen to Shantou. They found the cave fortifications built by the Japanese army along the coast of Shantou and Dongshan Island, and made a map to Yuan Geng. When the American army saw it, it found that the fortifications here were the same as the cave fortifications built by the Japanese army in Saipan. You know, the "Bolei Force" is good at cave fighting, and the US military suffered from this tactic in the Battle of Saipan and the Battle of Iwo Jima. The terrain around Shantou is very similar to that of Saipan. If the "Bolei Force" repaired this cave-like fortification at the landing site in advance, it will certainly bring great threat to the allied forces planning to land on the beach here. Just then, the East Longitudinal Intelligence personnel in Guangzhou and Dongguan bribed a Japanese interpreter and learned from him that the Japanese troops stationed along the coast of Shantou were "Bolei troops". At this point, the mystery of the disappearance of the "Bolei Army" was solved. It turned out that when the Japanese intelligence agency learned of the landing plan of the US military, it immediately ordered the "Bolei Force" to turn off all radio stations, move in silently and quickly, and secretly arrive at the coastal area of Guangdong all the way from Hengyang. According to the information provided by Dongzong on the operational deployment of "Bolei Force", General Nimitz decided to cancel the landing plan in South China to avoid "Bolei Force". Later, in order to speed up the process of ending the war, the United States decided to drop atomic bombs directly on Japan. Although the South China landing plan failed to be implemented, the US military still spoke highly of the intelligence work of Dongjiang Column. In their letter of thanks to Zeng Sheng, commander of Dongzong, they said: "Your report on the 129th Division of the Japanese Army is very important, and the headquarters would like to thank you! "In order to cooperate with the international anti-fascist struggle, the intelligence heroes of Dongjiang column provided a large number of accurate information to the Allies, and the detailed part even included the head materials of the Japanese squadron in South China. Important information also includes: legends and descriptions of Japanese troops in Tianhe, Guangzhou, Kai Tak, Hong Kong and Nantou Airport, Xixiang, Shenzhen; plans for the construction of Japanese Taikoo Dock; codes of Japanese South China Fleet; drawings of Japanese Kamikaze attack team K2 aircraft; maps of Japanese fortifications along Guangzhou and Kowloon; and maps of Japanese coastal defense in Hong Kong. The outstanding intelligence work of Dongjiang Column has been praised by General Chennault, the US military command in China and Washington, and the liaison office is regarded as "the most important intelligence station of the US military in Southeast China". Chennault called many times to express his gratitude and respect for the work of the liaison office: "We are particularly pleased with your recent report on the enemy and its activities, stations and designations. This information is important. In fact, he is full of vitality, because he exposed the enemy's attempts and activities and helped our command authorities to achieve better conclusions and plans. Headquarters (US troops stationed in China) and we are satisfied with your information. """your report on the 129 division is excellent, and the headquarters thanks you. . . You have done excellent work. "Major Ou Daiyi, who has lived with the Dongjiang column for 1 months, is also proud of the praise he received from the intelligence station that cooperated with Dongzhong. The Order of the King? In February 1947, in view of Huang Zuomei, the head of the international working group of the Hong Kong-Kowloon Brigade of Dongjiang Column, who made great contributions to the Allied Forces in wartime, King George VI invited him to London to participate in the Victory Grand Victory and awarded MBE (British Imperial Staff) Medal, which was the only person who won the British Medal at that time. Yuan Geng, a temporary colonel after the Anti-Japanese War, was the head of the Hong Kong-Kowloon Brigade's office in Hong Kong. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was ordered to go out to fight (as an intelligence and artillery adviser to Ho Chi Minh). In the early 198s, he served as the Party Secretary of Shekou Industrial Zone, the first experimental field of China's reform. The initiator of the slogan' Time is life, efficiency is money'. With his approval and suggestion, Ping An Insurance, the first private insurance company in New China, and China Merchants Bank, the first private bank, were born. Shekou industrial zone placard? On September 17th, 1987, Yuan Geng, as a guest of US President Ronald Reagan, attended the bicentennial meeting of American constitutionalism. After the conference, a few guests were invited to board the president's yacht for sightseeing. Reagan specially introduced three "special guests", one of whom was Yuan Geng.
