In film and television dramas, we can often see the plot depicting the infighting between the two major secret service agencies of the Kuomintang, the military command and the central government, and those lurking underground parties often rely on this kind of infighting in the military unity and central unification to escape the danger. In fact, historically, military unification and central unification have been in constant contradiction since the beginning of their establishment. In order to fight for power and profit, they dismantled each other and attacked each other one after another. Even in 1942, there was a sensational and earth-shattering case, one of the "Four Great Kongs" under dai Kasa, the head of the military command, major general Zhao Lijun, secretly buried the senior agent of the Central Command, Wei Xiaoru, who was then the administrative inspector, in Luoyang. This incident shocked the Kuomintang and became a strange story at that time.
In 1942, during the most difficult period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the people of Henan Province were fleeing from military disasters, but the military command and the central command were still rolling and dismantling each other
Communist traitors formed an army to unify the four kings
Since the establishment of the military command, Dai Kasa has been painstakingly cultivating his own forces, and eventually 4 people gradually came to the fore and eventually became Dai Kasa's cronies, known as the so-called "Four King Kongs" of military unification, they are Wang Tianmu, Chen Gongshu, Zhao Lijun and Shen Drunk. Zhao Lijun was a primary school teacher in his early years, had a little cultural background, and later joined the Communist Party, and in October 1930, he also participated in the Tuqiao Rebellion organized by the Provisional Provincial Party Committee in Sichuan, but the riot quickly failed under the siege of the superior enemy. Zhao Lijun was frightened by the powerful counter-revolutionary forces, so in 1931 he took the initiative to defect to the enemy, surrendered himself to the military command organization, and quickly rose all the way in the military unification by betraying his comrades, and eventually became Dai Kasa's right-hand man.
After Zhao Lijun surrendered to military command, he acted with a vicious heart, and he was bold and reckless, daring to kill celebrities who had scruples of others but did not dare to do so, and even took pleasure in killing people. Among the celebrities who died in his hands were Yang Xingfo, the elder of the Xinhai Revolution, Yang Xingfo, director general of the China Civil Rights Protection League, a famous educator and newspaper magnate in modern times, Shi Liangcai, the general manager of the "Declaration", and Tang Shaoyi, an elder of the Kuomintang, as for the other Communist Party members who were killed by Zhao Lijun, there are countless progressives and innocent masses. Because of his "outstanding military achievements," he was repeatedly praised by Dai Kasa and even Chiang Kai-shek himself, and his official positions rose step by step, and Zhao Lijun was pampered and arrogant, and even within the military command, he began to walk sideways, not taking others seriously.
Yang Xingfo, who was assassinated by Zhao Lijun, was only 40 years old at the time
In 1942, Chiang Kai-shek was very angry because Yan Xishan was secretly negotiating with the Japanese in an attempt to surrender, and ordered Dai Kasa to take strict precautions against Yan Xishan. So Dai Kasa took the chicken feathers as an arrow, stuffed Zhao Lijun to the First Theater of Operations, sat in Luoyang, and became a major general training commissioner and an administrative inspector of Luoyang Special District. This was ostensibly to block the passage from the Jinnan region occupied by Yan Xishan to Luoyang, Henan, and to monitor and control the exchange of personnel and materials, but in fact to take advantage of the opportunity to expand the sphere of influence of the military command. This duty is very important in theory, and coupled with Zhao Lijun's special status, neither the Kuomintang army nor the local government dared to ask any questions, so Zhao Lijun took advantage of this opportunity to wantonly amass wealth, robbing and secretly stealing from the passers-by who traveled to and from the Yellow River ferry, extorting and extorting money, scolding the rich and looting them, and throwing the body into the Yellow River after killing people and robbing money, destroying the corpse, and even the plainclothes Central Command agents were killed by Zhao Lijun's men and then thrown into the Yellow River.
In addition to killing people and crossing goods, once Zhao Lijun's men even openly exchanged guns and ammunition with bandits for opium, and as a result, they were captured by the local security team when passing through the territory of the Yudong security team. The people in the military command were holding on to someone "above" and were arrogant and openly threatened: "Even if the provincial chairman comes, he is not afraid, we are Boss Zhao's people!" After Wei Xiaoru, a senior agent of the Central Command, the administrative inspector of the twelfth district of Henan Province (Henan Province), came to the scene, these agents who did not know whether they were dead or alive also asked Wei, a small commissioner, to be smart, and the arrogant attitude of these people was provoked, and they scolded: "Others are afraid of Zhao Lijun, I am not afraid!" Pull them all out and shoot them! In this way, not only all the drugs were seized, but all the blind agents were also executed. This made Zhao Lijun hold a grudge against Wei Xiaoru, and the two formed a personal vendetta. However, this incident is obviously wrong in the military command, and the central command has taken the stolen goods and taken the name of righteousness, and the handling is also legal and reasonable. Even Dai Kasa couldn't do anything about it, so Zhao Lijun was determined to solve the problem by himself.
Houses were destroyed in the Bombing of Japanese Aircraft, but these natural and man-made disasters were a great opportunity for the military command to make a fortune
The Commissioner of Henan mysteriously disappeared
On March 16, 1942, the Kuomintang Henan Provincial Government held a meeting of provincial commissioners and county chiefs in Luoyang. When the meeting was carried out the next day, a strange thing happened, always punctual, never late and early, Wei Xiaoru, an administrative inspector known for his diligence, was absent from the meeting for no reason, and did not ask for leave beforehand, and sent people to look for fudan middle school in Luoyang, where he lived, but did not find it, and not only that, but even several of his attachés were not known. Li Peiji, the chairman of Henan Province, who presided over the meeting, hurriedly asked several other colleagues who were familiar with Wei Xiaoru, but no one knew his whereabouts.
The fact that a regional commissioner, a high-ranking agent of the Central Command, had disappeared without a trace in the core area of the heavily guarded Kuomintang District caused great panic. Jiang Dingwen, commander of the First Theater, and Li Peiji, chairman of Henan Province, were under extreme pressure, and after a continuous and endless search of the whole city, on the third day, someone found that there was newly filled soil in a dry well near the abandoned airport in the southern suburbs of Luoyang, so they immediately reported it. After sending people to dig the well, the bodies of Wei Xiaoru and several other people were found in the well. After the news spread, it shook the entire national unification area.
Jiang Dingwen, who was then the commander of a theater
Chen Guofu, a big man in the central unification department, immediately wrote to Chiang Kai-shek demanding that the murderer be severely punished, and Chiang Kai-shek personally issued a warrant for this: "No matter who committed this case, the military and political authorities of Henan Province immediately cracked it and brought the murderer to justice on the spot." Then he ordered Dai Kasa to immediately go to Henan with his own handwriting to supervise the solution of the case.
After Dai Kasa arrived in Luoyang, he convened a meeting of military commanders attended by Jiang Dingwen, Li Peiji, and other senior military and political officials from Henan Province, at which Dai Kasa demanded that his subordinates cooperate with the local military, police, and gendarmerie departments and obey Jiang Dingwen's dispatches. At the same time, Dai Kasa appointed Yue Zhanwu, director of the Adjustment and Command Office of the Commander's Department of the First Theater and also a secret agent of the Military Command, as the overall person in charge of solving the case. This was a major blow to Zhao Lijun, because before Zhao Lijun relied on his own backing, he did not pay attention to anyone, and in his daily life, he also swallowed all kinds of benefits by himself, never giving any benefits, even his colleagues in the military command were no exception. Yue Zhanwu and other local military command agents usually hated and feared him, and this time they won the opportunity to rectify Zhao Lijun, and naturally they would not let him go easily.
But the investigation into the case began at an impasse, with no clue. But a few days later, Zhao Lijun blackmailed a piece of haute watch from the Hendry watch shop in Luoyang, and the watch shop did not dare to be sloppy, so it sent someone to send it over, but Zhao Lijun's office said that it was not received. The watch shop initially reported the case to the police station because it was the guy who took the watch and ran away. But within a few days, one of Zhao Lijun's attendants took the watch to the pawnshop and was stolen and caught by the police on the spot, and as a result, this attendant arrogantly said to the police, "Know each other, if you provoke Lao Tzu, you and Wei Xiaoru will be buried together!" So the case began to break through from here.
The police reported the incident to Li Peiji, the chairman of Henan Province, and with Li Peiji's permission, tortured the blind little soldier, quickly pried open his mouth, and soon confessed the specific details of Zhao Lijun's men's kidnapping and killing of Wei Xiaoru. It turned out that Zhao Lijun had conspired to get rid of Wei Xiaoru after learning that Wei Xiaoru had come to Luoyang for a meeting. He instructed his subordinate Cao Yinping to disguise himself as a policeman and come to Wei Xiaoru's residence, Fudan Middle School, in the middle of the night, kidnapped Wei Xiaoru, his retinue and several teachers, and threw him unconscious into a dry well and buried him alive.
The front was tight and the rear was tight, and the Chinese army and the Japanese army fought fiercely on the front line
The police quickly took the mouth to li peiji, and li peiji immediately found Dai Ka and asked Zhao Lijun to confront him, and when Dai Ka was ready to help this subordinate, a bigger blow soon came. The 2 murderers who participated in the killing of Wei Xiaoru that day, He Xiaohuo and Wan Wangqiang, were still dishonest after being sent to Zhongtiao Mountain by Zhao Lijun, relying on Zhao Lijun's power in the local area to do wrong, and when the police came to arrest them, they also scolded without any cover, "Lao Tzu even dares to kill Wei Xiaoru, what is a small county magistrate?!" The police were worried that they could not find Wei Xiaoru's murderer, so they immediately arrested and escorted the two people to Luoyang.
Seeing his subordinates being continuously arrested, Zhao Lijun could not sit still, and he actually ran to his hometown in Sichuan, Li Jiayu, commander of the 36th Group Army, to hide. However, after Li Jiayu learned that he had killed Wei Xiaoru, he immediately agreed to hand him over, so Zhao Lijun was arrested. Together with Cao Yinping, he was imprisoned in the Military Law Enforcement Department of the First Theater of War.
Dai Kasa, the head of the military command, was with his subordinates
Writing a plea letter to Chiang Kai-shek was self-defeating
Dai Kasa did not expect to catch his cronies, so he interceded with Jiang Dingwen, but Jiang Dingwen did not agree to consider the importance of the case, but said that he took Chiang Kai-shek's order as the principle of handling the case. Dai Kasa immediately returned to Chongqing to meet Chiang Kai-shek, knowing very well that Chiang Kai-shek's temperamental Dai Kasa did not directly intercede for Zhao Lijun, so he found an opportunity to list many "merits" of military unification, and then took advantage of Chiang Kai-shek's good mood to tell Chiang Kai-shek about Zhao Lijun's case. Chiang Kai-shek did indeed promise to reconsider.
Although the Central Unification side and the local government of Henan, as well as other local Kuomintang forces that did not look at the military command, called for a speedy trial of the case. However, Chiang Kai-shek thought twice and still favored the military unification side, and eventually Chiang ordered Zhao Lijun to be sent back to Chongqing for trial.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, because the Japanese army controlled air supremacy and transportation routes for a long time, Dai Kasa could only detour from Chongqing to Luoyang to the northwest
Just when Zhao Lijun seemed to have escaped, Li Lingzhi was dim,but he killed himself at a critical moment, and finally sent himself into the ghost gate. It turned out that during Zhao Lijun's imprisonment, he was cared for by Dai Kasa in many ways and maintained good living conditions, and he returned to his old state before the whole case was completely "leveled" by Dai Kasa, and even Jiang Dingwen did not pay attention to it. When a subordinate came to visit him, the dazed Zhao Lijun actually wrote a letter to Chiang Kai-shek, listing his "great achievements," including the assassination of Yang Xingfo, Shi Liangcai, and Tang Shaoyi, as well as the stalking of Soong Ching-ling and other Kuomintang leftists.
This letter is tantamount to completely confirming Chiang Kai-shek's use of all kinds of despicable means to eliminate dissidents, and completely exposing his cruel, cunning and hypocritical features to the world. After receiving the letter, Chiang Kai-shek immediately changed his previous plan to spare Zhao Lijun, and ordered the Henan authorities to immediately try Zhao Lijun's case and sentence him to justice. At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek also summoned Dai Kasa to scold him, severely reprimanding Dai Kasa for disciplining his subordinates, and Dai Kasa was even confused and scolded without knowing what was happening. When Dai Kasa learned that Zhao Lijun had made himself clever to write a letter to Chiang Kai-shek to defend himself, he could only consider himself unlucky.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Luoyang was a scene of ruin and depression
In October 1943, after more than a year of dragging on, Zhao Lijun and Cao Yinping were sentenced to death by a military tribunal in the First Theater of War and executed by firing squad in Luoyang. After learning of this incident, the Central Unification Side specially held a celebration meeting in Chongqing and Luoyang, Henan Province, and Dai was angry and gritted his teeth, but he had no choice.
After Zhao Lijun's ambush, Dai Kasa was still extremely sorry for the death of his cronies. When he talked about the case at a meeting of the Headquarters of the Military Command Bureau, he still couldn't help but show his feelings of pity, saying that Zhao Lijun was a comrade who dared to charge forward and was also a leader in the organization. Dai Kasa also instructed the subordinate departments of the military command to transport Zhao Lijun's body from Luoyang, Henan Province, back to Chengdu, and buried him in the military cemetery in Longquanyi, where Dai Kasa would go every time he passed through Chengdu to hang this loyal lackey, and Dai Kasa also instructed the personnel, accounting, and general affairs departments of the military command to give Zhao Lijun's family a generous pension to show comfort and remembrance.
