Chapter 78 5. The person in charge of the investigation department of the Manchurian Railway is a Communist Party——The shadow of "Invincible Wisdom" in the real war of resistance

Manchurian Railway was the vanguard of Japan's invasion of Northeast China, and its investigation department was its main spy agency for China. How could its head be the Communist Party? You listen to me slowly. Isao Nakamura, starring Chen Baoguo, has become the focus of discussion among countless audiences following the hit of the TV series "Invincible Wisdom".In the film review, someone commented, "Is he a Japanese spy? Is he a CCP agent? Under the cover of his identity, it really makes people forget who he really is. Only he himself really knows who he is... this The CCP agent who is in the enemy camp, fighting alone, in a dangerous situation, and the enemy is dark, may be the most tangled character in history."

Indeed, as an important cadre of the Japanese secret service, he went through life and death for the cause of the world's anti-fascism, without complaint or regret.People wake up from the thrilling plot of the TV series, and I'm afraid they can't help but ask—does such a character have a real historical prototype? In fact, there is indeed a prototype of Isao Nakamura in the TV series, that is, the red legendary agent who provided accurate information on the Japanese army's southward advance on the eve of Japan's launch of the Pacific War-the head of the investigation department of Manchurian Railway, Isao Nakamura.Siri Ryuo in the play is also a real character, a member of the Japanese Communist Party of China, and a close comrade-in-arms of Nakanishi Kung Fu on the secret front.

Comparing the resume of Isao Nakamura mentioned in the TV series with the real life experience of Isao Nakamura, we can find clues left by the director. They all joined the Communist Youth League of China in 1931, and their destiny trajectory was from the northeast to Japan and then to Shanghai. They all ventured back to Tokyo in order to find out about Japan's southward advance plan. They all had close relations with Sorge's group, were arrested in Shanghai, and were sentenced to death by the Japanese military, but survived.Both have done a lot of work to improve Sino-Japanese relations after the war.

In the end, they both died of cancer in 1973. However, this is not the first time that Zhongxi Gong has been put on the silver screen. In the movie "Eastern Wind and Rain", this red agent has been described close to reality. Although Nakamura Isao in the TV series is already amazing, but the real Nakamura Kung Fu is more miraculous than in the TV series. The real Nakanishi Ko is a native of Mie Prefecture, Japan. He was born in 1910 in a poor family in Taki County, that county.In his childhood, he studied Chinese and Western skills diligently. In 1929, he obtained the qualification to study abroad with government fees with excellent grades. He went to Shanghai, China, and entered Dongya Tongwen Academy to study.

East Asia Tongbun Academy is a cultural exchange institution run by the Konoe family in China. At the same time, it is also an old Japanese spy training base for China.When Isao Nakanishi was studying, the principal was the later Japanese Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro.Dongya Tongwen Academy in the Japanese spy organization is exactly like the status of the Whampoa Military Academy in the military circle during the Republic of China.Its graduates, relying on strict training and the assistance of their classmates and seniors who have already occupied a superior position in various Japanese secret service agencies, can often find their way to prosperity.Nakanishi Isao and Siri Tatsuo are both top students of Dongya Tongwen Academy, which gave them favorable conditions to develop in Japanese secret agencies like ducks in water.

However, this is also where they first came into contact with the anti-fascist camp.Here, he came into contact with Ozaki Hidemi, a member of the Far East Intelligence Bureau of the Comintern under the cover of a reporter, and joined the Chinese Communist Youth League with Siri Ryuo through Wang Xuewen, a secret member of the Communist Party of China who taught at the college and a famous economist. .Zhong Xigong also served as the organizing committee member of the Youth League Branch of Tongwen Academy. During his studies, Isao Nakanishi participated in distributing anti-war leaflets to Japanese naval cadets in Shanghai and boycotting the Japanese attack on Shanghai in 1932.Due to insufficient fighting experience at that time, their actions were lured to Nanshi by Fukuda Shinichi, a super-high-level special agent who secretly operated in Tongwen Academy (promoted to captain in 1937, and was lured to Nanshi by female spies An Zhanjiang and Wu Yimei who were hidden in Tongwen Academy by the military commander). ), he and Siri Tatsuo were arrested for this, and later released because of no evidence, and returned to Japan with all the students.This arrest has greatly increased Nakanishi Kung's experience against the enemy, and at the same time planted the hidden dangers that he will unfortunately expose ten years later.

In 1934, Tatsuo Siri returned to Shanghai and served as a reporter for the Shanghai General Bureau of the Japan News Agency, and soon joined the Communist Party of China.In the same year, Nakanishi Ko was introduced by Ozaki Hidemi to work in the investigation department of the Northeast Manchurian Railway.Manchurian Railway, namely the South Manchurian Railway Company, was the vanguard of Japan’s colonization of Northeast China, equivalent to Japan’s “East India Company”. The Manchurian Railway Investigation Department was one of Japan’s most important spy agencies in China.Because of his strong working ability, Zhongxigong provided a series of analysis documents that were considered to be extremely valuable describing the internal situation in China. In 1938, he was promoted to the director of the investigation office of the Shanghai Office of the Manchuria Railway, and also served as a special entrustment (consultant) of the Japanese China Expeditionary Army. , Japan's "Chinese Anti-Japanese Forces Investigative Committee" in charge of Shanghai.In the same year, Isao Nakanishi joined the Communist Party of China under the introduction of Wang Xuewen, and with Tatsuo Siri, who had served as the chief reporter of the Japan Tongmeng News Agency and was entrusted (advisor) to the headquarters of the Japanese Central Dispatched Army, the commander of the Japanese Northern Dispatched Army in Beiping Shotaro Ozaki (a graduate of Tongbun Academy, who translated "Selected Works of Mao Zedong" into Japanese after the war) and Yukiyuki Shirai, a "businessman" from Taiyuan, jointly formed a red spy network.The "special investigation team" established by Zhong Xigong in Shanghai under the name of "Manchurian Railway" includes a large number of CCP intelligence personnel and is the core organization of this network.

It can be seen from this that the red agent team with Nakanishi Kung-Sili Ryuu as the core has a clear brand of the CCP from the very beginning.They are all Japanese members of the Communist Party of China, responsible to Pan Hannian, the "Red Little Kai", and responsible for strategic intelligence reconnaissance against Japan under the leadership of Wu Jiguang, the Shanghai Intelligence Section of the Communist Party of China.The group headed by Isao Nakanishi and the Comintern’s strategic intelligence organization against Japan headed by Sorge-Ozaki Hideo were two time bombs fighting inside the Japanese army, transmitting core information from Japan to Yan’an and Moscow at any time.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Xuewen not only developed the two ace spies in the intelligence war against Japan, Zhongxi Gong and Xili Longfu, but also developed another important red agent lurking in the heart of the Kuomintang regime. Anna Shen of Stenographer.From this point of view, this mentor of Chinese and Western Kung Fu can also be called the "Godfather of Spy". The group headed by Zhong Xigong has been active in the heart of the enemy for three and a half years, and provided Yan'an with a large amount of strategic intelligence on the activities of the Japanese invaders, Wang puppet, and Japanese Chiang.According to Yang Di, the combat staff officer of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, we were able to obtain reliable information in advance of the important military and political operations of the Japanese army at that time.Major losses such as the attack on the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the sacrifice of General Zuo Quan happened just after the Zhongxigong Group was cracked by the Japanese army.

In his career as a red agent, Nakanishi often played the image of a "wise man".In the book "Eastern Agents in Action" co-authored by Lao Sa and Lao Zhuo, it records the experience of Nakashi Gong in obtaining intelligence through an adventure. In October 1941, when Sorge's team was cracked in Tokyo, in order to complete the important task of confirming the direction of the Japanese strategic offensive, Nakanishi Isao, who had already been called to the police, resolutely returned to Japan by boat from Shanghai.Since the news of Ozaki Hidemi's arrest was still blocked, he first made a phone call to Ozaki's family, hoping to prove his safety and hope that Ozaki, who was the secretary of the former Prime Minister Konoe, would provide him with the information he needed.

Strangely, unlike Ozaki who would answer the phone in person every time, after the call was connected, a woman answered and asked, "Who are you?" Nakanishi Kou, who felt that something was wrong, remained calm and did not say anything about Ozaki Hidemi. Instead, he said: "Please find Mizuno Cheng (assistant of Ozaki Hidemi, student of Tongbun Academy, arrested for the Sorge case, died in prison in March 1945)." After a while, a man asked "Who are you?" Zhongxi Gong asked, "Can't you hear my voice?" Understand that the other party is not Mizuno Cheng - he is testing.Mizuno Cheng and Nakanishi Isao are old friends, every time they talk on the phone, Nakanishi always says: "Can't you hear my voice?" Then Mizuno will humorously imitate his tone and repeat: "Can't you hear my voice? "The two spoke like a code.But Nakanishi Gong was not in a hurry to put down the receiver, but replied: "I am your uncle Hikosaburo, I have enlisted in the army, and I am going to board the ship soon, so there is no time to see you." "Really? Oh, take care... Hey, which Hikozaburo are you?" Before the other party continued to ask, Nakanishi had already replied in confusion: "Okay, goodbye." When trying to test another underground worker, Hamatsu Yoshikatsu, he also hit a wall, and confirmed the news that he had been sent to the Metropolitan Police Department. Under such circumstances, Isao Nakanishi still did not give up. He came to the Reporting Department of the Military Department. He originally wanted to find Keiji Muto, a reporter from the Reporting Department who was familiar with him, to find out about the situation, but he couldn't find it.As a last resort, Mr. Nakanishi used the most basic espionage techniques, sat among the reporters, listened to their high-spirited talks, and exchanged interview results with each other. The result was quite fruitful. He learned that the Japanese troops participating in the "Guan Special Performance" exercise had gone south to the Ogasawara Islands, and Muto I went to Taiwan to interview the frontline troops.This obviously shows that the Japanese army is going south to attack Nanyang, instead of going north to attack the Soviet Union. "Guanteyan" is a large-scale military exercise held by the Japanese Army in Dalian in July 1941, which is generally considered to be a prelude to the Soviet Union.However, Nakanishi Kou, who was entrusted by Ozaki Hidemi to watch the exercise in Dalian, saw something strange by virtue of the spy training at Tongbun Academy—the core of the "Guan Special Performance" was the beachhead landing exercise in Dalian. To attack the Soviet Union, do we need to practice beachhead landing?This question led Nakanishi to make a judgment that the Japanese army's large-scale exercise may be just a cover, and its strategic intentions are not clear. However, it was not enough to judge that the Japanese army was about to go south. Isao Nakanishi ran around Tokyo, trying to find more reliable evidence, and even determine the time when the Japanese army would start the war. However, due to the fanatical militaristic atmosphere in Japan at that time, the so-called "anti-espionage" awareness among the people was so strong that Nakanishi Kungfu's information collection work in various aspects was far less than what he took out from the big mouths of those reporters. In a moment of anxiety, a lucky thing happened——On the way back to the hotel, Nakanishi Ko accidentally met the reporter Kenji Muto who had gone to Taiwan, and only then did he know that he had returned to Tokyo.Seeing Muto, Nakanishi immediately asked straight to the point: "How is Taiwan, is it going to attack?" Muto was surprised at first, and then remembered that the other party was the chief spy of the "Manchurian Railway", so he let go of his guard and said that he was in the front The circumstances of the interview included that naval vessels had assembled in the Seto Inland Sea, that the Japanese military had no confidence in the Japan-U.S. negotiations, and that the deadline for negotiations was November 30, etc. After obtaining this information, Zhongxi Gong quickly returned to Shanghai as if he had obtained the most valuable information, checked the confidential documents within the Manchurian Railway, such as "References in the Editor", "Imperial Combat Outline", etc., and reached a conclusion after synthesizing the information of Siri Longfu, and notified Yan'an—— The Japanese army is about to advance southward, and the Japan-U.S. negotiations will end on November 30th without further delay. Combined with the sailing time of Japanese naval ships, the time for the Japanese army to launch the southward advance operation will be December 8th (that is, December 7th, US time, the day of Pearl Harbor). This information was quickly transferred to Moscow by Yan'an, and then transferred to Chongqing through two agents Cheng Kexiang and Peng Shou of the secret agency "No. 21" of the military command in Shanghai under the instruction of Pan Hannian, and sent to the American ambassador Johnson. From the process of Nakanishi Ko providing information on judging the timing of the Japanese army’s southward advance and the Pearl Harbor Incident, we can see his bold and careful work characteristics. However, if you analyze carefully, you will find that Nakashi Kung's character is not so much a "wise man", but a "brave man". After Sorge's arrest, his intelligence team used a last-ditch effort to alert Nakanishi Isao - Nakanishi Isao received a telegram from Japan with the content "go west", signed as he himself had used His pen name is "Shirakawa Jiro".This is obviously to remind him that problems have occurred in Tokyo that may expose him, and Nakanishi Gong needs to evacuate to the CCP's base immediately.However, at this time, the Soviet-German battlefield was undergoing an extremely cruel contest-in September, the Soviet Union had lost millions of troops; on September 30, the German army launched the "Typhoon" offensive, and the soldiers pointed directly at Moscow, tearing apart the Soviet army that day. The left wing of the defense line; by October 8, the Soviet Western Front, Reserve Front and Bryansk Front were defeated; on the 10th, Stalin ordered the Western Front and the remnants of the Reserve Front to form a new Western Front, which was commanded by General Zhukov to defend Moscow; But on the 13th, the German army broke through the line of defense again; on the 18th, the German army advanced to a distance of 40 kilometers from Moscow and wiped out more than 660,000 Soviet troops, and the Soviet government agencies began to withdraw from Moscow.Although Sorge had sent intelligence that the Japanese army was about to march southward before his arrest, the Soviet High Command, which had misjudged the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, no longer dared to rely entirely on intelligence from a single source.At this time, the Soviet Union urgently needed to know the exact movement of the Japanese army in order to decide whether it could deploy troops from the Far East to participate in the Moscow Defense War.For this reason, Pan Hannian had to discuss with Zhong Xigong and let him take the risk of carrying out this task. Unexpectedly, Nakanishi Gong accepted the task calmly without any complaints.He later recalled that his idea was that the intelligence network he established inside the Manchurian Railway was in a golden period of operation, and every day it existed could provide a lot of valuable information to Yan'an.If it is transferred by itself, the entire intelligence network must be dismantled immediately, which means that many years of hard work will be reduced to ashes.Therefore, Nakanishi Kung's opinion is not to leave by himself, and to complete the task as much as possible while delaying the destruction of the intelligence network and providing more information for the organization.Nakanishi believes that after the United States entered the war, the anti-fascist war is at an important turning point, and at this time any piece of information is worth more than his own life. In fact, this not only means that Gong Xigong must stay and stick to his post, but also requires that no one of the dozens of intelligence agents in his team leave or defect, otherwise the departure of any one will cause the collapse of the entire system.However, staying here means that the claws that have been stretched out by the super high class will fall on his head at any time. Having been alerted but unable to retreat, this is unbearable torture for any underground worker. However, Nakanishi Ko and his comrades, whether it is the Japanese Ryuo Xili and Ozaki Shotaro, or the Chinese Li Desen, Cheng Heguang (the single-line liaison officer of Nakanishi Gong, committed suicide by jumping off the building when he was arrested, Lao Guo in the TV series "Invincible Wisdom" prototype) worked until the last moment of their arrest. After Ozaki Hidemi was arrested in October 1941, he had already confessed that he had organized a Marxist group in Tongbun Academy. If the Japan Special High School followed this clue, it would be almost immediately possible to find the people who were arrested at the time. record (it was this record that later confirmed the suspicion of Zhong Xigong).However, because Zhongxigong used his relationship in the Manchuria Railway to set up various obstacles for the investigation of the super high school, and because of Sorge's deliberate cover, the Zhongxigong team was not cracked until June 1942. They have persisted for eight months since they were alerted.The day before his arrest, Ryuo Siri also sent out top-secret information about the Japanese attack on Midway Island.Nakanishi Ko said: "We are a whole, the whole is the first, and the individual is the second." Their idealism has to be admirable to measure the action plan by the interests of the organization rather than their own lives. On July 19, 2011, when Typhoon "Ma'an" hit Japan, Sa interviewed Mr. Hideki Inagawa from the Ikeda branch of the Japanese Communist Party. Security Treaty Movement.The Inagawa family still has the collection of Nakanishi Ko's books in those days, and there is a seal on them that Nakanishi Kou personally stamped.Through an interview with Mr. Inagawa, we learned about Nakanishi Isao's situation after his arrest. After Nakanishi Ko was arrested, he was tortured, but he always insisted on his belief. Instead, he became the object of admiration of the judge and the police, and he was fortunate to be able to listen to him and Siri Ryuo during the interrogation.But he was still sentenced to death in 1943. However, the death penalty was not carried out. It is said that Gong Xigong started writing "The History of the Communist Party of China" at the same time he was sentenced.Nakanishi Kung wrote more and more, and proposed to cooperate with Siri Ryuo who was sentenced to death. The two wrote until August 15, 1945, and the book was not finished yet.Realizing that he had been duped, the prison authorities and officials furiously sentenced him to life imprisonment after Japan's surrender, but Nakanishi Isao was soon released as a political prisoner. After his release from prison, Nakanishi Ko once became the theoretical authority of the Japanese Communist Party.However, on the one hand, they feel that the younger generation of party members are too sentimental and lack interest in dedicated research on Marxist theory; He was expelled from the party for five years.His personal life is not going well either. Nakanishi's daughter, Nakanishi Junko, teaches at Yokohama International University, specializing in environmental protection.Speaking of her father, Nakanishi Junko said that she could not accept the sound of his father arguing with political opponents at home every day.So, when she was old enough to go to university, Zhunzi, who had always preferred liberal arts, chose science to avoid the political debates that frightened her. However, when I asked Mr. Inagawa what he thought of Nakanishi, he thought Nakanishi was a patriot.The reason is that although he was against the fascist government, he was very annoyed that the United States waited for the Japanese army to attack and did not make combat preparations after he announced that the date of the Japanese army's attack was December 7, 1942.So much so that he beat his wife and daughter.why?Nakanishi described in the Japanese court that he hoped that the information he sent would enable the United States to strengthen its vigilance, avoid a full-scale war with Japan, and protect the overall interests of the Japanese nation. "Kong Nakanishi wants to wake up this nation. It seems that he is the real patriot." Inagawa said finally.
