looked at Xia Wenyun who just sat down, and Li Zongren, who has always been decisive in killing, asked : "I see you are young, you are a young man with virtue and talent, and now the motherland is so broken, the people of your hometown are also being invaded and occupied. Can you bear to serve your enemy and remain indifferent?"
Xia Wenyun
heard Xia Wenyun froze for a moment, then he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but his eyes were instantly wet, and he lowered his head, not immediately Reply. Xia Wenyun knew that there must be an answer to this question that he had been trying to avoid for a long time.
Li Zongren's words echoed in his mind, his voice was sonorous and powerful, hammering his wobbly heart.
Immediately, his sense of mission as a Chinese person and his deep love for his hometown were ignited at this moment. He looked at Li Zongren in front of him and answered firmly: "If there is an opportunity for me to serve the motherland, I will go through fire and water, and I will do whatever it takes!"
Li Zongren looked at the determination in Xia Wenyun's eyes, and did not doubt the young man's heart to serve the country.
Li Zongren
The sharp blade that pierced the heart of Japan
Li Zongren repeatedly proposed to allocate funds for Xia Wenyun to carry out espionage work lurking in the enemy's intelligence department, but Xia Wenyun rejected all of them, and he gave the answer "Serving the country is his own Duty" . After
, Li Zongren learned that Xia Wenyun changed his name to "He Yizhi" in order to win the trust of and Zhiying Er, so that others would think that he was beneficial to Hezhi.
He used the "friendship" he cultivated with the Japanese invaders for many years, and he was very familiar with the Japanese invaders such as Kenji Doihara, and thus obtained important information. After the July 7th Incident in 1937, the Japanese young soldiers sent Kenji Doihara to gain power, and the Japanese army's invasion of China gradually expanded, and Shanghai and Nanjing fell one after another.
The Japanese war criminal
Li Zongren then received a piece of information from Shanghai Concession .
And the source of the intelligence was Xia Wen. He used the radio station in a Japanese friend's apartment to send important information to Li Zongren and help him make a lot of instructions to avoid risks. Every time
saw these encrypted information, Li Zongren was full of praise for Xia Wenyun.
In December 1937, after Japan occupied Nanjing, the 13th Division was sent north from Jinpu line to fight.
After Li Zongren received information from Xia Wenyun, he immediately ordered the 31st Army of the Gui Army to retreat quickly.
The old radio station
The Gui Army lured the enemy into the deep, and took the enemy to the north bank of the Huai River , and then intercepted it from the rear, trapping the Japanese army on the north bank.
Li Zongren then ordered Li Pinxian 's 11th Army Headquarters to attack on both sides of Jinpu Railway , pinning the enemy to the south of the Huai River, and finally separated the Japanese army from north to south and could not support each other.
In February 1938, Xia Wenyun secretly reported to Li Zongren that the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, itagaki Seishiro , went south from Jiaoji Road to Mengyin , Yishui and other places.
Li Zongren expected that it would take the attacking Linyi as the strategic goal, and then dispatched the Pang Bingxun of the Northwest Army to advance to Linyi to block the enemy.
Li Zongren
Pang Bingxun's army has only 5 infantry regiments. After nearly three months of bloody battle, he could no longer resist them. He asked Li Zongren for help, but at this time Li Zongren had no soldiers to send. When
was at a critical juncture, Xia Wenyun sent another secret report from Shanghai.
just seven words - The Japanese army moves north and south does not move .
Li Zongren looked overjoyed, and quickly dispatched Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army to the north to help Pang Bingxun from the north bank of the Huaihe Estuary.
Pang Bu and Zhang Bu joined forces and fought side by side. They wiped out more than 3,000 enemies in Linyi and forced the Japanese army back more than 90 miles. As a result, Itagaki Division could never join up with the elite Japanese Jigu Division located in Xuzhou area.
Li Zongren
Previously, the Japanese Isaya Division had always had a strong stance on the frontal battlefield, while the Chinese army was on the defensive. If the Itagaki Division and the Isotani Division, China's War of Resistance would be extremely unfavorable.
But with Xia Wenyun's information, the passive beating situation changed.
In the Battle of Taierzhuang on April 7, China achieved a major victory.
Within a month or so, Chinese soldiers killed and injured 11,984 Japanese soldiers, captured 719 prisoners, seized 31 cannons, 11 armored vehicles, 8 large and small tanks, more than 1,000 light and heavy machine guns, and 10,000 rifles. Total annihilation.
The battle of Taierzhuang was the first heavy blow to Japan's new army since its establishment.
An important piece of information saved 290,000 soldiers from destruction, rekindled the soldiers' fighting spirit, and the dawn of hope sprinkled on the entire anti-Japanese battlefield like rain.
When the fifth theater forwarded this information to the Kuomintang central government, the central intelligence personnel knew nothing about it, so the military command has repeatedly called and commended the intelligence section of the fifth theater.
Li Zongren also wrote in his memoirs,
"Mr. He risked his death in the enemy's position to provide us with indispensable and important information, all because of his deep and enthusiastic patriotism, and he has never mentioned it since the beginning. He will never accept our assistance even if he needs more than the slightest bit of demand. A patriot like him, he has contributed greatly to his achievements in the War of Resistance."

Since then, Xia Wenyun has been patiently lurking behind enemy lines, delivering information for the frontal battlefield.
The unsung hero
The Japanese intelligence agency also noticed that Xia Wenyun frequently used the radio station of his friends in the Shanghai concession to contact Li Zongren, and then he was closely monitored by Japanese agents.
In December 1941, after the outbreak of the Pacific War , Xia Wenyun was arrested by Japanese agents for exposing his identity, and he was forced to flee to the north. Since then, Li Zongren's intelligence work has ended.
In September 1942, the Japanese established North China Nitrogen Fertilizer Co., Ltd., with Xia Wenyu as one of the chairman.
After Li Zongren
, he recalled to Taiyuan in March 1943 because of a call from Jia Feizheng, a consultant of the Shaanxi Puppet Office, and served as the president of the puppet " Min Daily ". Not long after
, he became the director of the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Puppet Construction at the recommendation of a friend because he was good at dealing with the world.
According to Xia Wenyun’s daughter Charlotte, her uncle Xia Wenyu told her that when ’s father was serving as the director, he used his special status to exchange materials with the Eighth Route Army and carried out cover activities. Many Communists, including Dong Biwu.
Dong Biwu
At the end of 1944, Xia Wenyun went to live in Peiping, but in March 1946, Dai Li, the deputy director of the Nationalist Military Statistics Bureau, also came to Peiping, and immediately got the news that Xia Wenyun was in Peiping.
So Dai Li personally deployed and secretly arrested Xia Wenyun with his subordinates, and later transferred Xia Wenyun as a traitor to the Shanxi Provincial High Court for trial.
After Xia Wenyun was detained, Xia Wenyun's wife Chen Guizhen was so anxious, she immediately went to Li Zongren, who was the director of the Peiping Pingyuan at the time, and asked him to save her misunderstood husband.
Dai Li
Li Zongren heard what happened to his former friend, so he hurried to testify, and produced a lot of evidence that Xia Wenyun was lurking under the Japanese puppet regime for the country.
came forward through Li Zongren, and under the proof of various evidences, in 1947 Xia Wenyun was able toHe was released on bail and settled in Shanghai the following year.
However, because Xia Wenyun's identity as a "traitor" was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and his exploits were not made public, he was arrested many times later.
's many arrests made Xia Wenyun know that in China without the unified leadership of the Communist Party of China, his life would not be easy.

So after several turns, he and his wife Chen Guizhen chose to return to the Japan they had been to and set up a restaurant.
In 1951, Xia Wenyun's old friend Huang Xu also came to Japan to settle down. Xia Wenyun went to greet him, and the two talked happily over wine.
But to Huang Xu or other friends, he didn't say a word about the fact that he used intelligence as a knife to fight the Japanese army in the following years.
In his later years, Xia Wenyun often still misses his motherland, but because China and Japan have not established diplomatic relations, he has been unable to do so.
On November 15, 1970, Xia Wenyun died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 73. Unsung heroes like
have always been patriotic, and have never joined Japanese nationality even to death.
What is the past of Xia Wenyun, who died of illness in his hometown? Before he was awakened by Li Zongren, why did he become an inconspicuous translator beside He Zhiying Er?
This still has to start from his hometown, Dalian .
The tortuous life
Xia Wenyun was born in December 1905 in Dazhujiatun, Laohu Mountain, Jinzhou District, Dalian City.
was talented, intelligent and studious from a young age. In 1919, he was admitted to the Lushun Normal School opened by the Japanese. When
graduated, he achieved excellent grades in various subjects and was deeply loved by the principal Tsuda, so he received a 50 yen subsidy to study in Japan in the name of an exchange student.
Lushun Normal School
In 1925, Xia Wenyun entered the Hiroshima Higher Normal School in Japan to study history and law, and then was admitted to the Literature Department of Kyoto Imperial University through his own diligence and hard work.
After graduating in 1929, he was admitted to a master's degree in the Faculty of Letters of Kyoto Imperial University.
's special growth environment and special study abroad experience enabled Xia Wenyun not only to speak authentic Japanese, but also to be proficient in Japanese culture at that time.
But after studying abroad for many years, he still misses his hometown.
's hometown after the Russo-Japanese War was occupied by the victorious Japanese at that time.
A scene from Kyoto Imperial University
The last trophy of the war between the two countries is the land of his own country, and this sense of humiliation has always lingered in his heart.
And every time he thinks of his hometown in his motherland and the people of his hometown who have been invaded, Xia Wenyun's heart seems to be pierced by a sharp sword, and he suffers unbearably.
He clearly understands his identity at the moment, a Chinese who was cultivated by the Japanese, in the eyes of the people of the motherland, his identity is the so-called "traitor". In the spring of 1931, although the weather was slightly cold, Xia Wenyun finally returned to the hometown he had longed for, and he immediately applied for a professorship at Fengyong University in Shengjing, Shenyang.
Shengjing Fengyong University
In the same year, Japan launched the September 18 Incident , due to the non-resistance policy of Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang , The three northeastern provinces fell in an instant, and the fourteen years of the Chinese nation Thus began the war of resistance.
Xia Wenyun was walking on the familiar campus, but the sound of excited reading and noisy debates, so far, there are only gusts of wind.
felt the warm sunshine above his head splashing on him, and Xia Wenyun still felt a chill in his heart. After the
war broke out, Feng Yong University was forced to move to Beijing, and Xia Wenyun was unemployed.
Under the predicament of no life and no way to serve the country, Xia Wenyun entered the South Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd.Personnel Department.
Chiang Kai-shek
Xia Wenyun was highly educated and proficient in Japanese, so he was hired as the accompanying translator for Kwantung Army General Staff Headquarters and Zhiying Er. Because
is familiar with the local situation, can speak fluent Japanese, and has excellent Japanese kung fu, and has also studied at Hiroshima , the hometown of Zhiying Er, Xia Wenyun won the friendship with Zhiying Er. Respect.
Because of his position, he had frequent contacts with the Japanese high-ranking Kenji Doihara, Sakaheng Seishiro, Okamura Neji and others, and gradually cultivated a close relationship.
This made his espionage work in the future even more powerful. Later, because the Japanese pronunciation of the word "Xia" and the word "He" was similar, Xia Wenyun changed his name to He Yizhi, meaning that he was beneficial to He Zhiying Er.
Okamura Ningji
In 1931, and Zhiying Er were appointed as military attachés of the Guangzhou Army of the Japanese invaders. The main task was to contact Hu Hanmin, Chen Jitang and Li Zongren and other "southern factions" against Jiang. When
first arrived in Guangdong, He Zhiying took Bao Guancheng and Xia Wenyun, who were the secretary general of Bai Chongxi during 's Northern Expedition.
Xia Wenyun worked carefully and solidly, and soon became the only accompanying translator for Hezhiying Er because of his excellent work ability.
Li Zongren at that time also admired Xia Wenyun's translation level, and often asked Xia Wenyun to help translate when he received Japanese visitors.
At that time, the Guangdong and Guangxi authorities were in a semi-independent situation with the Kuomintang in Nanjing. In order to strengthen communication with the Guangdong side, Li Zongren had been living in Guangzhou all the time.
and Zhiying 2
and Zhiying 2 himself also have a good impression of China. During the exchange, Li Zongren found that the Japanese General Staff Headquarters is divided into two factions. The
faction, represented by Tojo Hideki, , Doihara Kenji, and others, advocates expanding aggression against China, eliminating the power of the United States and Britain in the Pacific, and quickly occupying China and Southeast Asia to obtain huge resources and use war. Raise the war. The
faction is extremely powerful, aggressive towards members of other factions, and often disagrees with each other. The other faction of
is represented by General Masao Araki, and the Northward faction, including Kazuyoji himself, advocates concentrating forces against the Soviet Union.
Tojo Hideki
and Zhiying Er wanted to use Li Zongren to oppose Jiang, and Li Zongren also used Li Zongren to fight against Japan , he tried his best to win over the North Jin faction, expand the gap between the two factions of the Japanese army, and take the opportunity to spy on Japan information on the invasion of China.
Li Zongren met with Xia Wenyun many times after that. After the two gradually became acquainted, he felt that Xia Wenyun was an honest person, and he was talented at a young age, so he was a good candidate for conspiracy. One day after
, Li Zongren secretly invited Xia Wenyun to come to his residence in Mapenggang, Dongshan, Guangzhou to talk.
This is also due to Li Zongren's painful rhetorical question, Xia Wenyun shed tears after listening, and was silent for a long time before telling Li Zongheng about the tragic situation of the slaughter by Japanese invaders in the Northeast after the September 18 Incident and his own experience.
Li Zongren
During the September 18th Incident, he escaped from Dalian, thinking that he would go to work in the customs, but he had no relatives or friends in the customs, and his survival was a problem, so he had to return to the Northeast, because he was familiar with Japanese and was requisitioned by the Japanese army.
followed by the unsung spy hero serving his country in the shadows, and his ups and downs.
During the Anti-Japanese War, there were countless patriots who threw their heads and blood for the motherland. There were many unsung heroes like Xia Wenyun who were on the front line of life and death within the enemy. Their achievements will not be forgotten by history, and their efforts will certainly not be forgotten. forgotten by us.
