In spy war dramas, the spies are always calm, wise, and unhurried, and nothing seems to make them succumb.
However, the real life of an agent is far from glamorous, especially when it falls into the hands of an adversary.
During World War II, in 1943, a Japanese female spy would rather die than recruit, but in the face of the "mandarin duck bath" of Dai Li, the head of the Chinese military command, she instantly softened.
What's going on?
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Japan sent a large number of spies to China to collect intelligence and sabotage the anti-Japanese forces.
Especially in the rear areas, Japanese spy activities are even more rampant.
They either infiltrated the Kuomintang or disguised themselves as ordinary people, and they were everywhere. In 1943, the Chongqing government invited the American "Flying Tigers" to help in the war in China and stationed in Guilin.
Japanese spies heard the news and infiltrated Guilin to collect intelligence.
In April 1943, a secret oil depot in Guilin was blown up, which was an important supply for the Flying Tigers, and the losses were heavy.
The investigation found that the location of the oil depot was top-secret information, and the Japanese had a clear grasp of it, and it was obvious that there was a mole.
Dai Li, the leader of the military command, rushed to hear the news and vowed to find out who was behind the scenes.
After investigation, a woman named Su Ji came into the sight of the military commander.
This woman runs a high-end coffee shop, and the store is often visited by Chinese and American military officers. She also understands English and French Chinese, was arrested by the Japanese for resisting Japan, and later hooked up with a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong.
What is even more suspicious is that since she came to Guilin, the destruction of Guilin by the Japanese army has increased significantly.
There are all kinds of indications that Su Ji is most likely a Japanese spy.
When the military commander investigated Su Ji's identity again, an astonishing fact surfaced: Su Ji turned out to be Chen Suzhen, a female agent of the military commander who had been missing for many years!
It turned out that Chen Suzhen joined the military command in 1934 and was arrested while collecting intelligence on the Japanese army in Guangzhou.
Since then, there has been no news, and the military commanders thought she had sacrificed. Now it seems that the Japanese may have conspired against Chen Suzhen and made her a double agent.
In August 1943, the military commander arrested Su Ji.
During the interrogation, Su Ji would rather die than admit him, and he also said eloquently that he was a patriot and went from Hong Kong to Guilin to resist Japan.
In the face of such a suspect, ordinary interrogation methods simply do not work. But Dai Li has a way, he wants to give Su Ji a "mandarin duck bath".
When Suki was escorted to a barrel full of leeches, her legs went weak with fright.
The "Mandarin Duck Bath" is to put the prisoner into a wooden barrel filled with live leeches, and then thousands of leeches will attach themselves to the human body to suck blood, and the pain can be imagined.
The face and neck, which have the most tender skin, are the first to suffer, and the dense leeches will also burrow into the body.
When the leeches are all adsorbed, and finally forcibly remove the leeches, the wound will tear and bleed.
This kind of torture, not to mention women, even men can't bear it.
As a former ace agent in the military command, Dai Li's methods of interrogating spies can be described as varied, and some methods are to make the enemy loosen.
In addition to the "mandarin duck bath", I heard that he also invented "giving birth" and other torture female agents.
The pain is far from imaginable. Faced with the horror of the "Mandarin Duck Bath", Su Ji surrendered.
It turned out that after she was rebelled by the Japanese, she had been spying on intelligence for the Japanese army.
And Hu Yangzong, the head of the military command, was also rebelled by her and has been reporting to her. The bombing of the oil depot by the Japanese army was the result of Su Ji's report to the Japanese army.
Historically, there have been many female spies like Su Ji.
Some of them are brainwashed, some are for money, and some are forced to be helpless.
But no matter what the original intention is, once you become an enemy spy and betray the country and the people, you will never be forgivable and forgivable!
is destined to be spurned by the people! is also destined to live a fearful life like a "rat crossing the street".
Su Ji's story leaves us with a lot to think about: what is it about the war years that makes a person willing to risk his life to be a spy? Money, ideals, or helplessness?
Once you become a spy, what will happen to you? Su Ji's experience has left a deep warning for future generations, and I hope everyone will be a person who loves their country.
