Chapter 2 〇One I experienced in the "rescue campaign" in Yan'an

After the famous Yan'an rectification movement began, the Central General Study Committee was established on June 2, 1942, consisting of Mao Zedong, Liu Shaoqi, and Kang Sheng.But because Mao Zedong had a lot of things to do, he only had a name and didn't take care of it in detail; Liu Shaoqi was a member of the Politburo and didn't take care of it.This is the situation that Kang Sheng could only wish for. Because Kang Sheng was good at changing the direction of the wind, he won the trust of Mao Zedong and became the head of the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Central Committee, thus mastering part of the power of educating, examining, and using cadres.After the establishment of the General Study Committee of the Central Committee, Mao Zedong said to Kang Sheng: "You (Kang Sheng) will do the actual work of the General Study Committee." Kang Sheng asked the political secretaries of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee to help him, and the Central Committee agreed.At that time, I was Ren Bishi's political secretary, so I was also one of the people who helped him work, and I divided the work to contact the rectification and review officers of the Northwest Bureau and the Northwest Joint Defense Command.

At the beginning, Mao Zedong was more concerned. His idea was to distinguish right from wrong and clarify the direction through study and discussion. Even if the goal was achieved, someone raised the question of who was responsible for the wrong line during the discussion. Mao Zedong once said in contact with me Guo: "However (referring to the person responsible for the wrong line), don't pursue personal responsibility, just flirt with thoughts." In January and February of 1942, various central organs started rectification studies. I once took a walk with Mao Zedong, and I asked the central organs about the purpose of rectification studies.He still said: In order to clarify right and wrong, raise awareness, accept experience and lessons, and not pursue personal responsibility.However, at this time, Kang Sheng had already stepped in, and the taste changed a bit.Not only is it proposed to hold accountable for who is on the wrong line, but also for some other issues.

In the summer of 1942, Kang Sheng proposed that "the rectification movement must be transferred to the trial of cadres, the trial of cadres must be transferred to the eradication of counter-revolutionaries, the eradication of counter-revolutionaries must be transferred to rescue, and self-help must be rescued."This is a very insidious strategy-as long as he says that someone has a problem, even if he can't find out any facts, let him "help himself", it will never end.And the emergence of this fallacy is derived from such a thing: When Kang Sheng was in the Soviet Union, he followed Wang Ming closely. They issued documents within the party in the name of "Wang Kang" (especially in the name of the underground party in Northeast my country). At the end of 1937, after returning to China, Kang Sheng saw that Mao Zedong’s prestige and influence greatly surpassed that of Wang Ming, so he transformed himself, labeled himself an "anti-Wang Ming hero", and tried his best to get close to Mao Zedong.In the words of Cao Yiou (Kang Sheng's wife): "When we got off the plane, we saw Chairman Mao's strength and prestige, which made us think of changing our attitude." Later, the myth that they were rejected by Wang Ming in the Soviet Union was created.After Kang Sheng presided over the rectification movement, he wanted to take the opportunity to get Wang Ming down, but he didn't dare to act rashly, so he started with Ke Qingshi, the deputy head of the United Front Work Department and Wang Ming's assistant.Ke Qingshi and his wife were criticized repeatedly. Ke Qingshi's lover was forced to commit suicide. Ke still could not be let go. One day, the central government held a mass meeting to fight against Ke Qingshi. Such a struggle was called "rescue the lost". .This struggle meeting was chaired by Li Fuchun, deputy director of the Central General Office.The struggle meeting lasted from afternoon to midnight. Ke Qingshi just refused to admit that he had a problem, and the "crowd" just refused to give up. Everyone was empty-hearted, but they just couldn't close the meeting.Kang Sheng, Mao Zhudu, and Liu Shaoqi lived in the venue—a row of cave dwellings not far above the Central Office.Kang Sheng heard the voices of people in the Central Office, which continued late at night, and he came.He came to the meeting and gave a speech, meaning: the time for rescue has been very long, now you are allowed to save yourself, everyone go back to rest first, and see how he behaves tomorrow, he played such a trick, the meeting will be dispersed.Afterwards, he bragged triumphantly: "Li Fuchun couldn't even close the show, so I closed the show for him." Several of his "inevitable transfers" came out at this time.

When Ren Bishi was in the Communist International, I helped him work, and after returning to China in 1940, I served as his secretary.At this time, his main task was the preparations for the Seventh National Congress of the Party, including the review of the qualifications of the representatives. Due to the difficult and complicated struggle situation, it was not easy for representatives from all over the country to come to Yan'an. Therefore, since 1942, representatives Lu Lu continued to come to Yan'an, and most of them were arranged to study in the Central Party School and wait for the meeting. Between May and June 1943, the "Movement to Rescue the Stumbled" had fully blossomed in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, and half of the representatives of the "Seventh National Congress" had "problems."At the beginning of 1944, Ren Bishi told Mao Zedong that such a method would not work, and that the "Seventh National Congress" could not be held?Is it possible to hold a party congress with the "secret agents"?This brought to a halt the rescue campaign among the party delegates.Is there a problem with any of these representatives?

In the middle of 1942, among the representatives from Hunan, there was a young man named Mi, called "Xiaomi". After arriving in Yan'an, he studied in the Central Party School. He didn't speak correctly. When studying documents, he always raised the question of who was responsible for the wrong route, and the person in charge asked him to talk.He admitted that he was a traitor and agreed to be a hidden spy, but he was not forced at that time. XXX, Secretary of the Henan Provincial Party Committee, from Shandong, had contacts with me during Yan'an. When Ren Bishi and I reviewed his qualifications as a representative, I thought there was something wrong with him, because he was released soon after he was arrested.Ren Bishi said I was nervous and passed.After the "Seventh National Congress" was held, he confessed to the central government, admitting that he had "missteps", but he did not do anything wrong.

XX, the deputy secretary of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee, was also "surprised" by the Kuomintang agents. He didn't understand the organization. He was elected as an alternate member of the "Seventh National Congress". He also explained to the Central Committee and asked to cancel his qualification as an alternate member. up. XXX, the secretary of a local party committee in Fujian Province, a young man, also confessed himself after the "Seventh National Congress", but he made up a set of stories about fighting against secret agents, and was also disqualified as an alternate member.

There is also Ji Xi, a representative of Henan and Western Henan, who was also "surprised" by enemy agents.He kept pretending, and we reused him and gave him a sum of money to open the road from the west to the Soviet Union. As soon as he arrived in Gansu, he fled with the money. Besides, there are several other people with similar problems. The above shows that in the complicated struggle, the struggle with the enemy agents does exist, but it is by no means as serious as estimated. During the rectification study, the central government called on cadres to go down to the grassroots for exercise. I think that I have been in the Soviet Union for 15 years, and I lack understanding of China's national conditions, so I need to go down to the grassroots.I felt that the security work could contact all kinds of people and understand cadres and Chinese society, so I proposed to Comrade Ren Guaishi to do practical work in the security department, and he agreed.So in January 1943, I was transferred to the First Bureau of the Security Department of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region as the director.Before being transferred, Kang Sheng talked to me. He thought that the cadres in the Northwest were not pure, and asked me to go to the Northwest Bureau to set up a social department.Although I didn't see through his intentions at the time, I thought that there was already a security office in the northwest, so I shouldn't set up another one, so I didn't agree to him.But the Central Ministry of Social Affairs he is in charge of is the center for collecting enemy intelligence, so the actual work still depends on him.The director of the security department is Zhou Xing. He has to listen to Kang Sheng’s instructions on the phone every night, and then execute them through me (the first bureau is the Security Bureau, the second bureau is the Public Security Bureau, and the third bureau is the Administrative Bureau, so the security department is right. Enemy fights all in one round).

One day in April of this year, the bed student asked Zhou Xing and I to bring to him a list of cadres who had been in prison and had "unclear history" among the cadres in the border area.Kang Sheng circled 200 people on the list and told us to arrest all those circled. I took a quick look and saw the name "Shi Shude" on the list, and I said casually, "This is my fourth brother."Kang Sheng grabbed the list and erased Shi Shude's circle, and I said: "If there is a problem, you should be arrested as soon as possible, not just because it is my brother...".Kang Sheng grinned, waved his hands, said "hmm", and then clicked on the name of "Shi Shude" (this is the mark to send to the School of Administration for review).I was a little at a loss, and I was also a little confused whether the circles he played had a basis or did what he wanted?So I asked: "Do these people have materials?" Kang Sheng answered very simply: "If you have materials, you still need to interrogate?" This specious statement made me speechless.I thought for a while and said, "To arrest so many people at once, the security office can't accommodate them." He said, "Think of a way!"

Kang Sheng's order to arrest people was successful because of such a historical background: In April, Chiang Kai-shek withdrew all his troops deployed in southwestern Shanxi to Hancheng, Yichuan, and Dali in Shaanxi, and declared that he would attack the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region , "Because the CCP is disobedient."Later, I learned that Chiang Kai-shek was trying to preserve his own strength, escape from the front line of the Anti-Japanese War, and let others know.But at that time, the Central Committee analyzed that Chiang Kai-shek's action might be a step in the fight against Japan, so he became nervous.The people in the border area were also enthusiastic, gathering everywhere, denouncing Chiang Kai-shek's anti-Communist crimes, expressing their determination to defend the border area, and even invited the liaison staff of the Kuomintang government in Yan'an to the rostrum of the meeting to show him that the people in the border area cannot be insulted!

Kang Sheng took advantage of this opportunity to arrest all "unreliable" people under the pretext of "cleaning up the lineup in order to rectify the rear".So Yan'an arrested 260 people overnight, the Central Ministry of Social Affairs also arrested 100 people, the Suide Special Zone arrested 100 people, and Guanzhong also arrested people, and it will continue to expand in the future.Around May, I took orders to Suide to clean up the mess there. Suide is located on the west bank of the Yellow River. Songjiachuan in Suide is across the river from Jundu in Shanxi, and merchants in Suide commute between Qin and Jin Dynasties from here.Their source of goods is in Liulin Town, Shanxi, and there is indeed a Japanese spy agency in the town, which often inquires about Hexi from the mouths of merchants, but these merchants are patriotic and never tell the truth to the Japanese. The actual situation keeps telling us.

Due to the escape of the Kuomintang troops, the Japanese invading army in Shanxi constituted a direct threat to Suide, so Suide also arrested people at the same time as Yan'an, and the orders were of course all from Kang Sheng.This action has hurt some democrats. At the same time, because the scope of the attack is rapidly expanding, everyone is in danger and cannot live all day long.Li Dingming learned about the situation in his hometown from his relatives and friends, and he had a lot of opinions, so he reported it to Lin Lao (Lin Boqu, who was the chairman of the Border Region Government at the time, and Li Dingming was the vice-chairman).That's why I was sent to Sued. The operation in the Suide area was personally presided over by Xi Zhongxun, secretary of the prefectural party committee, and commissioner Yuan Renyuan. Those who were arrested were all locked up in the special office, and the trial failed to make a name for them.Around the end of May, I took Bruce and other seven or eight people to Suide. After we arrived in Suide, we first stopped arresting people randomly, and then interrogated the detainees; if we found out that there was no problem, we released them immediately.Among them was Tang Hai, an excellent student of the Marxist-Leninist College. I had taught him and knew him. The youth kissed.In such cases, of course, he will be released immediately. Work is day and night.A comrade surnamed Chen said to me: "My God! You forced ghosts to climb trees, and you tried more cases in one day than in the past month, and you did more things in one month than in two or three years." In July, Suide, Mizhi, and Qingjian all settled down. Li Dingming received a letter from his relatives expressing his satisfaction, and told Elder Lin again, saying good things about me. At that time, Xu Xiangqian was a member of the Military Commission and the principal of the Suide Kangda Branch School. He was very stable and we all respected him. Xu Xiangqian, Xi Zhongxun, Yuan Renyuan and I worked together on major issues, and Xu Xiangqian was very helpful. At this time, Tian Jiafeng, a female student of Suide Normal School, and another young man (surnamed Li) were still making typical reports in Yan'an, but they were all false and coerced.Some of our comrades really like to extract confessions by coaxing and physical torture. After the rectification work basically came to an end, a mass meeting was held in the Suide Garrison Area and a summary was made. Veteran Lin reported my work in Suide to the Northwest Bureau, and Jia Tuofu, secretary general of the Northwest Bureau, reported my written report to the Central Committee as a typical experience and introduced it to various parts of the border region.Although there are shortcomings and mistakes in my work, the leadership still affirmed my efforts to stabilize the situation and calm people's minds. In July and August, the atmosphere of the KMT’s attack on the border area had eased, and my superiors asked me to return to Yan’an to report on my work. I left my family members in Suide and planned to return to Suide after reporting. Back in Yan'an, Mr. Lin asked me to give a work report to the Border Region Government, and Vice Chairman Li Dingming attended.After the work report was over, Gao Gang, Kang Sheng, and Ren Bishi had a secret conversation with me, asking me to go to Guanzhong to investigate a spy case. When Ren Bishi and the others talked to me, they said: "We don't doubt XXX, but he is always included in the intelligence of the enemy agents. What's going on? We need to find out." Here I want to mention that the Second Bureau of the Military Commission is really our unsung hero.They deciphered the enemy's code very quickly, so we can learn all kinds of secret messages of the enemy in time.This is how the above-mentioned enemy intelligence was obtained. I arrived in Guanzhong in November 1943. At that time, the "Rescue the Lost Persons Movement" in Guanzhong was full of wind and rain, and the grass and trees were full of soldiers. For example, it was said that the lover of the Guanzhong Army Divisional Commander Wen Niansheng was a "secret agent", and his wife and brother were also "secret agents". Text Although people are not spies, but since "spies" are by his side, naturally they cannot be trusted.Jiang Feng, the commissioner and security sub-division, is a "secret agent", and several secretaries and deputy secretaries have also stepped aside.Even the head of the Qin Opera Troupe in Guanzhong was regarded as a "secret agent" because of his close relationship with XXX.Only Deputy Secretary Duan Dezhang and Zhang Desheng were left to discuss matters. In order to clarify the problem, I went to Guanzhong to say nothing, but soon a few things aroused my thinking.The first thing is: father and father have been transferred away from Guanzhong for more than a year. It is obviously impossible for the enemy to have "XXX gave information" in the intelligence, but why is there such information? The second thing is: When I arrived in Guanzhong, I stopped at the corner (name of place), chatted with a porter, and immediately intercepted from the Kuomintang's secret telegram "He Long arrived in Guanzhong, wearing yellow woolen clothes" and so on, The KMT got really nervous.I saw that I was the only one wearing yellow woolen clothes, so I was taken as He Long.It can be seen that the intelligence of the Kuomintang is not so accurate. After investigation and analysis, the doubts were concentrated on one person.This man's name is Yang Hongchao, and his family is in Malan, a border region. There are many people in his family. He himself lives in Zhitian Town, which is a border area of ​​both sides, and travels frequently.Yang Hongchao was bought by Bulu to give us intelligence. His uncle was our transportation, and Bulu asked his uncle to monitor him, but he didn't know that he was doing false information for the Kuomintang. He Shenggao, chief of the Security Section of Chunyao County, had people working in Tianzhen Town under his command, and found out Yang Hongchao's residence. One night, Wang Tianmin, a cadre of the security branch, led six or seven armed forces, crossed the border in the middle of the night, arrived at Yang Hongchao's house, broke down the door and entered After entering, the couple were soundly asleep. The armed men took the woman aside and warned him not to make any noise or the child to cry, and told Yang Hongchao to put on his clothes quickly and follow.The whole family was so frightened that they could only tremble.Things were done so neatly that the dog didn't even bark.When they passed the enemy's watchtower, they could hear the voices on the watchtower, and they were not disturbed. I waited at the main camp near Malan.Yang Hongchao was escorted to Zhang Desheng's office, and the two of us interrogated him.Before the interrogation, let's get down first, throw the shackles in front of him, and tell him that this is his "last moment."Yang was already scared out of his wits. Question: Where did you get the information for the KMT? Answer: I made it up. Q: Why do you want to fabricate false information? Answer: To make money and defraud money (the Kuomintang secret service pays according to the value of the information, which is the root cause of XXX being involved--author's note). Ask, if you give false information, people will not investigate? A: How does he check?I'm talking about the frontier. Question: Who gave you information?Say it one by one! Answer: Fake, all of them are fake, I will write whose name I know. Q: Do you know Wen Niansheng's wife? Answer: She is from Shandong in our place, who doesn't know? I couldn't believe his account for a while, but soon got evidence from the enemy: the Kuomintang secret service said they lost one of the most important intelligence commissioners; Xi'an sent a division-level cadre to Zhitian Town Investigated and dealt with the matter, and reported to the superior: "The CCP attacked us and caused us to lose an important commissioner, which is heartbreaking."And since then, it is true that no more information about the border area has been received from the Kuomintang. A large number of cadres in Guanzhong have been wronged, how will it end?So a meeting was held and Yang Hongchao was asked to speak, because he fabricated false information and harmed many people, meaning that the cadres were wronged and there was a reason for the incident.After two months in Guanzhong, I basically figured out the problem, and I returned to Yan'an in January 1944. I returned to Yan'an from Suide, and before I went to Guanzhong, Kang Sheng convened a working meeting on the examination of Qian. At this meeting, I had a conflict with him.Higher-level cadres from Northwest Shanxi, Southeast Shanxi, and Northwest regions participated in the meeting, and several principles for interrogating confessions were to be formulated at the meeting.At this time, Chairman Mao had already talked about emphasizing investigation and research, and opposed coercion, confession, and trustworthiness. Based on Chairman Mao's instructions and my past experience in security work, I made a speech at the meeting and said: "Torture cannot be used during interrogation." Kang Sheng said : "Using torture is feasible." I said: "You can't cheat or induce a confession, you can't use your illness or mental abnormality to extract a confession, and you must make the prisoner tell the truth." There’s no way to interrogate.” I said, “Use materials!” Kang Sheng said, “If you have materials, you still need to interrogate them?!” I said, “What should we do if there are so many false ones?” He said, “We forced confessions and didn’t believe them. If he wants to say it, let him say it, and then check it out!" He threatened, "If you think there is no problem with someone, then you will sign a guarantee for that person, and you will be responsible for proving that he has no problem." This is a big mess. source.In meetings, I was isolated and had to be silent. At that time, the inspection objects in Yan'an were divided into three places. Those who thought the problem was more serious were detained in the Security Department and the Ministry of Social Affairs; the second one was concentrated in the School of Administration.The Security Department has detained more than 200 people, the Ministry of Social Affairs (in Hougou, Zaoyuan) has detained more than 100 people, and the School of Administration is mainly local cadres in northern Shaanxi. I understand, there is no problem, but Kang Sheng still insists that cadres above the county level must be inspected, because "it may be a Hanhao or a Trotskyist".As a result, all the government agencies and units became overwhelmed and everyone was in danger. That was what everyone at that time experienced. Kang Sheng's idea was to wear safflower and eat white noodles after confessing frankly.Zhang Keqin, who was censored by the Ministry of Social Affairs, was a young man in his 20s. Based on a detective novel, he made up his own "secret agent" story, bit many people, and was reported everywhere as a typical example, so false confessions became more common. .Coupled with the hard life in the border area, the prison is even worse. Admitting can improve the life, which also promotes the increase of false confessions.Of course, there are also those who are firm, such as Sun Zuobin (who used to be the secretary of the Gansu Provincial Party Committee. At that time, just because his nephew Sun Weiru was an officer of the Kuomintang, Kang Shengsheng and I "transferred" him from Guanzhong to be imprisoned in the name of the Northwest Bureau) never said a word If you tell lies, you will suffer the most. False confessions were made a lot, Kang Sheng was overjoyed, and at the same time, people became more and more dissatisfied. The cadres in northern Shaanxi who were censored by the School of Administration were the most dissatisfied, which was reflected in the Border Region Government, the Northwest Bureau, and Chairman Mao.Chairman Mao was shocked after hearing this, and felt that he was wrong, and the problem was not small.So between the end of 1943 and the beginning of 1944, Chairman Mao personally went to the School of Administration to admit his mistakes, take responsibility, take off his hat and bow, and apologize to those who were examined.Then he went to the Central Party School and other places to express the same attitude, which reversed the general situation. At the beginning of 1944, I returned to the security office from Guanzhong, read all the confession materials of the prisoners, was happy with the "achievements" I had achieved, and quickly selected five or six of the most exciting ones to send to Chairman Mao.Chairman Mao stopped reading after reading less than two articles. He thought it was like reading a novel.One day in early April, he asked Zhou Xing and me to meet him, and he also asked Li Kenong, the vice minister of social affairs, to come to his place together and talked for a whole morning.Until now, I still admire Mao Zedong's ability to guide people's thinking.He knows that our minds are still hot and can only cool down slowly. Mao: "I only read two of the statements you sent me, and I don't want to read them, so don't send them in the future." "why?" Mao: "Write those, who knows how many of them are true." I said, "They wrote it themselves!" Mao: "If you write something yourself, there is no independence? Doesn't a single word cause independence?" I said, "Can you guarantee that there is no one word?" Mao: "Since one word is inaccurate, is there not a word that is inaccurate?" I said, "Of course it's inevitable." Mao: "Then is it possible that 10 sentences are false?" I was confident: "It can't be all wrong!" Mao: "I just want to say that all of them may be false. If one word is false, there may be one sentence that is false; if one sentence is false, there may be 10 false sentences; if there are 10 false If the words are false, they may all be false.” I was puzzled: "Then why?" Mao: "I was about to ask you why?" I still wanted to argue, but Zhou Xing stopped me and made Chairman Mao unable to speak. Chairman Mao continued: "If you don't believe it, you can take their confessions back and let them correct them. If one sentence is wrong, change one sentence, if ten sentences are wrong, change ten sentences, if the whole article is wrong, the whole article should be corrected. Allow him Change. I wrote an article myself, posted it on the wall, read it every day, and changed it every day. After a month, the original words were changed.” Chairman Mao then asked: "Do you interrogate prisoners with sticks?" I admit that I don't know, Zhou Xing said: "Yes, Yue Yungao is like this." I added: "He's the Chief of the Interrogation Section." Chairman Mao said: "This is the source of the confession." At this time, I already regretted myself very much in my heart!Why don't I understand how these confessions came about? !Later I found out that Zhou Xing himself did the same thing. Chairman Mao cited an example he experienced in the Central Soviet Area.At that time, the Eighth and Eighth Regiment was opposed, and suspicious elements were caught and interrogated, and none of the results of the interrogation were not from the "Eighth and Eighth Regiment".Mao Zedong wanted to understand the mystery. One day he quietly watched how the prisoner was interrogated through the window, and it turned out to be "Thunder God".The so-called "Thunder God" is to tie the two thumbs of the prisoner to a stick with a rope. If the prisoner refuses to admit it, he drives a wedge into the middle of the stick. Then the wedge was pulled out, and the prisoner refused to confess as soon as he let go, so he drove the wedge again, and so on, until he dared not retract the confession anymore.I couldn't help but point my fingers!I can't sit still!Moreover, I deeply feel that Chairman Mao's policy of "not killing one, not arresting the majority" is correct.That night, when the two prisoners were going to be shot, three others were tied up.The charge is "obstinate service" (that is, not telling lies).After listening to Chairman Mao's enlightenment, the original case was immediately withdrawn.Thinking of almost killing a good person by mistake, I shuddered. I went back to the security office at noon, and I had no time to eat, so I first found a prisoner who "confessed the best" to talk to. I asked, "Is this statement yours?" Answer: "Yes". I asked again, "Is this confession true?" He cried. When I asked him to tell the truth, he denied everything.I criticized him for deceiving people and the party. He said that he wanted to have enough food. In July 1944, after most of the detainees were screened and released, I was transferred to serve as the director of the Intelligence Office of the Ministry of Social Affairs. It is true that the Kuomintang has our intelligence, and we also have the Kuomintang's. It is difficult for the Kuomintang to obtain our intelligence, but it is easy for us to obtain the Kuomintang's intelligence.The Kuomintang sent us spies, and we also sent spies to the Kuomintang. None of the spies they sent could gain a foothold, but only a few of ours failed. This is also true.The fundamental reason lies in the support of the people's hearts, and secondly, our usual censorship of cadres is very strict. In 1942, Bulu, the head of the reconnaissance section of the Security Department, went on a business trip to Guanzhong in order to establish an intelligence network there.He lived in Malan, and the Kuomintang sent in a group of spies, one of whom was Wu Nanshan, whose home was near Malan.Considering that his family was in the border area, if his identity was revealed, his whole family would be affected, so he voluntarily surrendered himself and confessed to Bruce.It turned out that he attended Dai Li's spy training class in Hanzhong.The 46 people in this class are all young people from the Northwest. After graduation, all of them were sent to the border areas to let them contact each other and break into our agency.This person gave the names of all 46 people. After investigation and verification, some of them were in the military depot, some were in the salt transportation team, and none of them were in important positions.Bruce returned to Yan'an, studied the countermeasures, found a couple of conversations, and what he explained was the same as what Wu Nanshan but Bai said.This is the "Dai case" (or your "Hanzhong training class case"), and it was cleared up, but no one was arrested. Kang Sheng took this incident as his own credit and boasted in front of Chairman Mao. Chairman Mao asked him who did it?Kang Sheng had to admit that Bruce had cracked it.Chairman Mao said: "We need people like Bruce, a dozen or so are enough." This was what Kang Sheng himself said. Of course, he would not say such embarrassing things lightly, but had another purpose. A real spy, nothing more.However, Kang Sheng used the excuse of "rectifying the rear and cleaning up the camp", which made everyone feel insecure, and they would be in chaos without a fight, and the hearts of the people were scattered, which undoubtedly helped the enemy a lot.I always have a question in my mind: "Who is Kang Sheng?!" I have had my own failures at doing the work of the enemy.In Yulin under the Kuomintang rule, there is Ying Erbin, who was a classmate of Wang Youzhi (now a member of the CPPCC Shaanxi Provincial Committee) when he was in Moscow, and I also knew him. At the beginning of 1944, he went to Xi'an from Yulin via Yan'an for a meeting, and made plans to cross Yan'an in a hurry.He is one of the heads of the Yulin Three Youth League, and I knew him as soon as he left.When he arrived in Yan'an at night and stopped at Shilipu outside the south gate, I sent someone to find him. I asked him, "Do you know me?" "It's an old friend," he said. This person was originally a member of the Communist Party and had a close relationship with Miff of the Comintern. But at this time, he said that he was a member of the Kuomintang and I wanted him to work for us. He said: "Now it is the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. It doesn't matter who you work for." Maybe it was because of fear, but he still agreed to cooperate with us and signed the contract.When he arrived in Xi'an, at the meeting of the Three Youth League, he revealed all the conversations I had with him, and he also scolded Shi Xide (my former name, he knew it). At the turn of the spring and summer of 1944, the central government repeatedly urged the Northwest Bureau to summarize the work of examining cadres and eliminating counterrevolutionaries, so as to give an explanation to the cadres and the masses in the border areas. At the same time, this was also one of the preparations for the "Seventh National Congress".Kang Sheng was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, he couldn't sleep at night, and he couldn't eat satisfactorily, but he could always find a way out—he asked the security department to write this summary, and gave him part by part. The more than 40-page report was written, and the reporter should be Zhou Xing, but Kang Sheng said that Zhou Xing could not do such a report, and he had to do it himself. He added a lot of his own private goods to the report, such as: "Many When people are sick, they don’t seek medical treatment or treatment; some people sleep with the enemy’s tanks and don’t know it. Then, what’s wrong with others yelling to attract your attention and vigilance?! Such a great movement touches people’s hearts and minds. How strange is it to hurt a few people? Why is it strange? Why can't you understand?!" And so on. After the meeting, Zhou Xing said to me: "We can't do such a report, and we dare not do it."
