In the history of the red agent of our army, there is a very special figure, his identity is not ordinary, because his father is a traitor, as the son of a traitor, then, how did this red agent do?
The red agent's name was Zhang Mengshi, and his father's name was Zhang Jinghui.
Zhang Jinghui is a native of Tai'an, Liaoning, he is the brother of the northeast warlord Zhang Zuolin, after Zhang Zuolin was bombed by Japan, Zhang Jinghui and Zhang Xueliang could not get along, after the "918 Incident", Zhang Jinghui openly defected to the Japanese to become a traitor, and in 1935, Zhang Jinghui was also appointed by the Japanese as the prime minister of the puppet state of Manchukuo.
In 1921, Zhang Mengshi was born, when Zhang Jinghui was a division commander in the northeast, deeply trusted by Zhang Zuolin, because of this condition, Zhang Mengshi's life has been food and clothing since childhood, the three eastern provinces are the first places where the Japanese invaded, at that time in the northeast, Zhang Mengshi saw the Japanese occupying the territory of their own country, very angry.
When the "918 Incident" broke out, Zhang Mengshi was only 10 years old, although he was younger, but he also really understood the arrogance of the Japanese, in the face of the loss of the land, the young Zhang Mengshi was very angry in his heart, and what made him most sad was that his father Zhang Jinghui actually turned to the Japanese and became a traitor, and he also became the son of a traitor.
In such an environment, Zhang Mengshi's heart was quite shaken, desperate moments, his cousin Zhang Shaoxiong, brought him new hope, Zhang Shaoxiong very much advocated communism, Zhang Mengshi in his youth, dreamed of serving the country in the future, so everything can be tolerated, in 1940, Zhang Mengshi came to Japan.
In Japan, Zhang Mengshi came into contact with many Marxist books, deeply shocked, at the same time, he joined the Communist Party's peripheral organization Northeast Youth Salvation Association in Japan, where Zhang Mengshi officially became an underground worker, which is what we often call "red agent"
In 1941, when the Soviet-German War broke out, Zhang Mengshi was entrusted by the party organization to accept a very important task to find out the whereabouts of Lieutenant General Yamashita Fengfumi, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese front, within a week.
As the son of the puppet manchukuo prime minister, the Japanese were not very wary of Zhang Mengshi, and it was also using his identity that Zhang Mengshi obtained a very important piece of information: the Japanese army was gathering a large army to go south.
With this secret report, the Party organization also understood that the next target of the Japanese army was not the Soviet Union, but South Asia, and finally after the synthesis of several secret reports of the Party organization, the Party organization sent a telegram to Stalin, so that Stalin dared to withdraw troops to support Moscow, and finally led to the victory of the Moscow Defense War.
In 1943, Zhang Mengshi officially became the head of the party organization's intelligence group in Changchun, and after that, he used his identity to continuously transmit intelligence to the party organization and make great achievements.
Zhang Mengshi's father, Zhang Jinghui, is a traitor, and he is the son of a traitor, and he is also a red agent, so the dual identity makes Zhang Mengshi also suffer, but he knows very well in his heart that for everyone, giving up the small family is the inevitable result.
In 1945, with World War II drawing to a close and the traitors in the northeast seeking a route to evacuate, Zhang Mengshi revealed the news to the Red Army, allowing them to capture his father Zhang Jinghui and some other pseudo-Manchurian ministers.
Zhang Mengshi, as the son of a traitor, was also arrested by the Soviets, and in the Soviet Union, Zhang Mengshi was imprisoned for 5 years.
In May 1950, Zhang Mengshi was escorted back to China, and in 1956, Zhang Mengshi officially joined the Communist Party of China, after which he served as the head of the Japanese law department of the Beijing Institute of International Relations and a member of the Seventh National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
For the rest of his life, Zhang Mengshi lived a peaceful life with his family.
Some people say that Zhang Mengshi's life should not be praised by people, because he betrayed his family, this view, I really can't agree, in the face of the great national righteousness, what is the small family?
