preface
In February 1949, a document from the Kuomintang Secret Bureau was placed in front of Chiang Kai-shek, with a name he could not have imagined, and Chiang Kai-shek did not want to believe that he was a Communist in any case.
This major general of the military command was once Du Yuesheng's proud disciple, and after joining the military command, he once got rid of more than 120 traitors, because he was excellent at hoeing and raping, and was also awarded the "Special Contribution Award for the Anti-Japanese War".
So who is this major general of the military commander?
Deeply appreciated by Du Yuesheng
From 1937 to the end of 1941, Shanghai Tang was shrouded in the Shanghai Naval Command's hoeing operation, during which more than 150 Japan officers and high-ranking traitors were successfully executed.
The "Shanghai Anti-Japanese Action Group" directly under the Military Command Bureau executed 80 percent of the traitors, and more than 120 people were eliminated by them and their team leaders.
And the leader of this "Shanghai Anti-Japanese Action Group" is the latent Communist Party member who shocked Chiang Kai-shek - Chen Mo.
Chen Mo was born in Meiling, Hubei Province in 1913, the son of a member of the League and a member of Sun Yat-sen's Xinhai Revolution before being killed in a fight against Yuan Shikai.
After his father's death, Chen Mo followed his mother to Shanghai, and his mother took him to live in Shanghai after collecting his father's body. They settled their home in Touqiao Town, Fengxian County, and lived on a snack bar.
Chen Mo has been smart since he was a child, although he dropped out of primary school before finishing it, he did not give up the opportunity to learn, and he also taught himself to read when he was an apprentice in a pharmacy, and later he entered the free night school of Shuguang Middle School.
His academic performance was excellent and his eloquence was also very good, and he was soon valued by Lin Jun, the principal of Shuguang Middle School. Lin Jun, alias Lin Shaobai, was a communist who often taught Chen Mo revolutionary ideas.
In 1929, Chen Mo joined the Communist Youth League under his introduction. A year later, when he was about to become a Communist, he was arrested by the Kuomintang for a speech and sentenced to 12 years.
After Chen Mo was imprisoned for three and a half years, the anti-Japanese sentiment of the Shanghai people became more and more intense, and the call for the release of political prisoners became louder. At the beginning of 1934, he was released early.
After being released from prison, Chen Mo wanted to contact the Communist Party, but by that time all the central organs had been withdrawn from Shanghai and then transferred to the Central Soviet District. Chen Mo, an underground organization, could not be found, so he had no choice but to carry out patriotic actions by himself.
Later, after studying hard, Chen Mo was admitted to the Shanghai University of Political Science and Law, when the Shanghai people's aggression against the Japanese army was a time of fierce protest, various strikes and strikes emerged one after another, and the anti-Japanese sentiment of Shanghai citizens was rising day by day.
Chen Mo, as a hot-blooded patriotic young man at that time, naturally joined enthusiastically, actively participated in various anti-Japanese parades, and delivered patriotic speeches.
During a parade, they were captured by a team of Japan soldiers, and Chen Mo hid in a house when he saw it when he fled, and the housekeeper covered him, and when the pursuers left, he met the owner of the house, Du Yuesheng.
Later, Chen Mo learned that the housekeeper who helped him was also extraordinary, and he was also a famous figure in the Qing Gang, named Wan Molin. When Wan Molin heard him speak Pudong Gaoqiao dialect, he knew that he and Du Yuesheng were fellow countrymen, so he introduced him to Du Yuesheng.
Du Yuesheng likes his "little fellow" very much, although he is from a gangster, he is very fond of readers. Chen Mo is a college student, full of knowledge, and speaks smartly, which is deeply loved by Du Yuesheng.
Chen Mo became Du Yuesheng's protégé in this way, Du Yuesheng often kept him by his side, no matter what celebrities he saw, he would take him, and slowly he broke out of his own fame in Shanghai.
In August 1937, after the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Dai Li to set up a "Jiangsu and Zhejiang Action Committee" in Shanghai to contain the frontal battlefield, harass the Japanese army behind the enemy, and eliminate traitors.
In order to better accomplish this task, Dai Li, based on his own Fuxing Society, cooperated with Du Yuesheng's Youth Gang to form a new armed force to cooperate in resisting Japan.
Join the military command
As the most respected disciple of Du Yuesheng in the Qing Gang, Chen Mo became the captain of the second detachment of the special team of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Committee under Du Yuesheng's recommendation, and he also became a member of the military command.
Because Chen Mo was quite trusted by Du Yuesheng in the Green Gang, after entering the Einsatzgruppen, Dai Li also attached great importance to him, and they entered the Songhu battlefield just after the Einsatzgruppen was formed, because the training time was short, they suffered heavy casualties.
Chen Mo later led his troops to retreat to Hankow, but after they had just successfully landed, they received an order from Chiang Kai-shek to let them return, he did not want Shanghai to completely fall into the hands of the enemy, and threatened the traitors in Shanghai through the Einsatzgruppen.
Since then, Chen Mo has launched a series of assassination operations in Shanghai, and among the traitors he eliminated, the official positions and influences are Zhang Xiaolin, the governor of Zhejiang Province, and Fu Xiao'an, the mayor of Shanghai.
Since the end of 1939, Chen Mo has carried out a series of assassination operations against Zhang Xiaolin, but they have never succeeded.
Later, Chen Mo got acquainted with Zhang Xiaolin's bodyguard Lin Huaibu with the help of Du Yuesheng, and won him to be the inside line under the temptation of money and righteousness, and finally successfully killed Zhang Xiaolin on August 14, 1940.
After successfully getting rid of Zhang Xiaolin, Dai Li issued a new order to Chen Mo, this time with the task of getting rid of Fu Xiao'an, who was the mayor of Shanghai appointed by Wang's puppet government, and he was more cautious than Zhang Xiaolin, and carried out a variety of preventive measures.
After seeing Zhang Xiaolin's fate, he knew that Chiang Kai-shek would not let him go, so he carried out strict security, not only setting up his home near the Japan military police barracks, but also arranging more than 20 guards to patrol around his house day and night.
Chen Mo ambushed Fu Xiao'an several times, but none of them had any effect. In order to successfully assassinate Fu Xiao'an, Chen Mo began to look for a breakthrough in the people around him, and soon he noticed Fu Xiao'an's chef Zhu Shengyuan.
When Zhu Shengyuan and Fu Xiao'an knew each other, Fu Xiao'an could be regarded as his savior, and he also trusted him, he felt that anyone could harm him, only Zhu Shengyuan would not.
Chen Mo coerced and intimidated Zhu Shengyuan, and finally succeeded in getting Zhu Shengyuan to agree to kill Fu Xiao'an, who was killed by Zhu Shengyuan in his sleep in the middle of the night on October 10, 1940.
Later, Chen Mo also used the method of "color seduction" to get rid of Ding Mo Estate, he went to the Paramount Ballroom to find the dancer Zheng Pingru, and wanted her to use color to get rid of Ding Mo Village, which is the prototype in the movie "Lust and Caution".
Although this plan did not succeed in the end, it also played a great deterrent role in Ding Mo Estate.
While eradicating the traitors, Chen Mo also carried out many attacks on the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai, and the burned Japanese warehouses and ships dealt a big blow to the Japan.
In 1941, Chen Mo's Shanghai Naval Command District suffered a huge disaster, the district governor Chen Gongshu defected to the enemy, and their people were arrested by "No. 76", and the Shanghai Military Command District suffered a devastating blow.
But even in such a difficult environment, Chen Mo still did not give up his actions. It was not until the end of 1941 that a telegram from Dai Li ended the operation, and Chen Mo was transferred to Chongqing.
Soon after returning to Chongqing, Chiang Kai-shek awarded him and the "Shanghai Action Group for Watching the Germany" and the "Special Contribution Award for the War of Resistance" to him and his leadership.
Later, he was sent by Dai Li to the senior special training class of Chengdu Central Army University to study, this training course is of a very high standard, even Dai Li can not be easily recommended, in that year only two people were sponsored, one is him, the other is Mao Renfeng.
Join the Communist Party
After finishing his studies at school, Chen Mo served as the junior director of the inspection offices of the garrison headquarters in Xi'an and Chengdu.
After facing the dark inside story of countless Kuomintang, Chen Mo missed the Communist Party even more, and he was even more eager to return to the embrace of the Communist Party, and then do something that was truly beneficial to the country and the people.
In 1943, Chen Mo, who could no longer work in the inspection office, chose to leave, and after submitting his resignation to Dai Li, he chose to return to Shanghai and serve as the team leader of the Shanghai Songhu Garrison Command.
Chen Mo provided a lot of help to the PLA in this position, often transporting supplies for them, and in 1947, his behavior was discovered by the Kuomintang, who soon arrested him for "financial disturbance".
After six months in detention, Chen Mo was released, after which he went to Hong Kong with Yan Baoli, the founder of Wen Wei Po. After arriving in Hong Kong, he met Pan Hannian under Yan's introduction, and later joined the Communist Party under Pan Hannian's introduction.
In 1948, when the War of Liberation was in full swing, the Party Central Committee issued a task requiring the Hong Kong underground party to oppose the Kuomintang army in Shanghai and cooperate with the People's Liberation Army to liberate the Yangtze River.
After receiving this task, Pan Hannian considered that Chen Mo had worked in the Kuomintang and had made friends with many Kuomintang generals, so he handed over this joint work to Chen Mo.
Pan Hannian and Chen Mo had some discussions, and finally determined the goal of rebellion, that is, Feng Qizeng, who served as the captain of the Coast Guard Brigade of the Songhu Garrison Command, he and Chen Mo used to be old acquaintances, and they often ate together, so it should be relatively simple to rebel against him.
Before leaving, Chen Mo made one last request to Pan Hannian, saying that if he died unfortunately, he hoped that Pan Younian could prove it for him, and then take care of his wife and children, and Pan agreed to his request.
After returning to Shanghai, Chen Mo held a family banquet to entertain old friends, including Feng Qizeng, during which he kept persuading him to drink, and told about the darkness and decay of the Kuomintang, and he advised Feng to see the form clearly, otherwise he would regret it.
Feng Qi had been echoing during the banquet, but what he didn't expect was that the next day he reported the situation to the Kuomintang Secret Bureau, and soon after they went to Zhoushan together, where Chen Mo was arrested by the Secret Bureau.
After learning that Chen Mo was arrested, Du Yuesheng once went to Chiang Kai-shek to intercede for him, and at that time he had almost cut off contact with Chiang Kai-shek, and he gave up his face twice for Chen Mo.
Perhaps because of Du Yuesheng's face, but also because of Chen Mo's contribution to the Kuomintang, Chiang Kai-shek promised to exempt Chen Mo from the death penalty as long as he quit the Communist Party, but Chen Mo refused.
He knew that he would not escape death, so he wrote a suicide note in prison and calmly faced his life and death. On April 27, 1949, after the successful liberation of Shanghai, he was killed by the Kuomintang on the Bund in Shanghai.
In September 1949, Chen Mo was certified as a full member of the Communist Party by the CCP in Shanghai, and was later posthumously recognized as a martyr, and his family also enjoyed the treatment of the martyr's family.
