When Wuhan was liberated in 1949, a woman named Li Huachu led her three daughters in Wuhan to wait for news from her husband, Zhou Hao.
Since her husband disappeared a year ago, a friend suggested that Zhou Ho might have gone to Taiwan. Li Huachu did not believe it, and she waited for her husband to return. As long as she didn't hear of his death for a day, she decided that he was still alive somewhere.
Zhou Ho's public identity is also a major general of the Kuomintang military command, and Li Huachu and his 3 daughters have naturally become "secret agent family members", and life has become more and more difficult. Li Huachu took his three daughters back to her husband's hometown and waited for news.
This wait is 17 years, and the birds have not heard from each other. Two months after Li Huachu's death, the local civil affairs department sent a certificate of martyrhood issued by the state for Zhou Zhiping.
And this Zhou Zhiping is Zhou Hao.
On January 21, 1910, Zhou Hao was born in Sanliqiao Township, Luotian County, Hubei Province, to a peasant family in Qilichong Zhoujiayuan, which is now laotashan village in Fengshan Town, and his family has been farming for generations, formerly known as Zhou Zhiping.
At the age of 14, he was admitted to the private Chengcheng Middle School in Wuhan, Zhou Ho's family was not well off, but he was still very hard, when he was in school, Zhou Ho accepted the Three People's Principles, and to fight for it, he returned to his hometown and made a speech, the passionate speech let him know a rich girl Li Huachu, after graduating from middle school, Zhou Ho was admitted to the infantry section of the Wuhan branch of the Whampoa Military Academy. But soon, the school was controlled by Chiang Kai-shek.
At that time, Yun Daiying, Deng Yanda and others had great influence on the school, and once, during a political test, Zhou Hao actually showed anti-Chiang Kai-shek feelings, and also refused to admit his mistake, so he was expelled from the school.
Zhou Hao, who was expelled from the school, was introduced by his fellow villagers and went to Shanghai to join the 19th Route Army. During the Nineteenth Route Army, Zhou Hao served as a junior officer, participated in the "1.28" Songhu War of Resistance, and killed the enemy in blood on the battlefield. After the Songhu War of Resistance, Zhou Hao followed his troops to Fujian. In 1933, the Nineteenth Route Army launched the "Fujian Incident" and implemented the policy of the United Communists against Chiang Kai-shek. But in just two months, the "Fujian Incident" ended in failure.
After the failure of the "Fujian Incident", Zhou Hao left the army and prepared to return to his hometown from Shanghai. As a result, he was followed by Kuomintang agents on the road, and when he arrived in Wuhan, he was arrested by agents on the suspicion of "communist party".
According to the person who said that Zhou Hao had openly opposed Chiang Kai-shek in his history, he could not wash away it no matter what, and it would be a dead end to him to casually accuse him of a crime, and instead of being a ghost, it was better to join the military command as a Huangpu protégé, so that the "mistakes" he had made before could not be blamed for the past.
After hearing this, Zhou Hao pondered bitterly, and finally decided to join the military command, if he could make a difference, he would stay, and if he could not, he would resign at any time, thinking that it was a stopgap measure to get out.
Later, Zhou Hao joined the Wuhan Station of the Military Command, and during this period, he was greatly appreciated by Zhou Weilong, one of the "Ten People Regiment" at the core of the Military Command, and became a favorite general under him, and was introduced to Dai Kasa by him. Since then, he has been promoted all the way and has worked in Hankou, Guizhou, Guangdong, Chongqing and other places, becoming the chief of the colonel section.
During this time, his wife Li Huachu also traveled around with Zhou Hao, and his two daughters, Zhou Huibing and Zhou Huilin, were born in Hubei and Guangdong.
In early 1943, Zhou Hao was entrusted by Dai Kasa to disguise himself as a businessman and traveled to Shanghai to prepare to connect with Zhou Fohai, the no. 2 leader of the Wang puppet government. Originally, since Wang Jingwei rebelled against the country and established the Wang puppet government, he began to target the military command, and also set up the Headquarters of Agent No. 76 to confront the military command. Since Shanghai was now a occupied area, the military command could not confront the Wang puppet government head-on, and gradually fell into the inferior position, so Dai Kasa urgently needed to fight for an important task in the Wang puppet government.
Zhou Ho took the radio station and a translator into Nanjing by Zhou Fohai, and was later arranged to serve as the chief of the sixth section of the Wang Puppet Military Commission. Zhou Hao used his pseudo-position to cover the activities of Sun Liangcheng and other ministries, and established a good personal relationship with them.
At this time, Zhou Hao also lost contact with his family, and his wife and daughter were taken to Chongqing by the military command
During the days of lurking in Nanjing, in order to obtain more information, Zhou Hao had to be active in the upper echelons of the Wang puppet military circles and put himself in danger. At the same time, Zhou Hao was still a very disciplined person, and although he kept a large amount of funds from the Military Command Bureau, he never moved a single bit.
During the more than two years that the Wang puppet government was lurking, he not only completed the corresponding intelligence collection work, but also made some generals who were originally the Wang puppet government submit to the rule of the Kuomintang, and finally promoted the downfall of the Wang puppet government. When he returned to the Kuomintang, Dai Kasa promoted him to major general of the military command.
After the fall of the Wang puppet government, some generals in the former Wang puppet government chose to defect to Chiang Kai-shek's command, and at that time, they knew that Zhou Hao had been an undercover in the Wang puppet government, and they also had deep dissatisfaction with him, so they always joined forces to exclude Zhou Hao and frame Zhou Hao.
One day, Okamura Ningji, commander-in-chief of the Japanese Chinese Dispatch Army, suddenly sent to Zhou Ho's headquarters and invited him to the Japanese military headquarters to "discuss." However, as soon as Zhou Hao arrived, he was put under house arrest. What was even more unexpected was that after Dai Kasa, who had always been very important to him, released him on bail, he actually put him under house arrest on the grounds of "corruption."
Soon after, Chiang Kai-shek appointed the traitor Ren Yuandao as the commander of the Nanjing Advance Army and took over Nanjing. It was not until Dai Kasa and other Chongqing officials arrived in Nanjing. Zhou Hao thought that he would be regarded as a hero of "military unification", and without merit and hard work, he would definitely be released. Unexpectedly, Dai Kasa turned his face and did not recognize anyone, and reprimanded Zhou Ho for acting without authorization in Nanjing, disrupting the deployment. On March 17, 1946, Dai Kasa died in a plane crash, and the "Military Command Bureau" was renamed the "Secrecy Bureau", and Zhou Hao was released.
It was also at this time that Xu Chuguang, who had served as director of the Third Working Committee of the Liaison Department of the Central China Bureau in the Liberated Areas, came to Nanjing. The main purpose of his coming this time was to do the counter-offensive work of the Kuomintang army.
Xu Chuguang was Zhou Hao's Hubei compatriot, a classmate of the Infantry Department of the Wuhan Branch of the Central Military Academy, and the two were very personal, and Zhou Hao knew that Xu Chuguang was a CPC intelligence officer, and they had exchanged information and exchanged information with each other.
The two chatted about the current situation, and Zhou Hao admired Xu Chuguang's views, and Xu Chuguang was a member of our party, introduced by him, and with the approval of Deng Zihui, secretary of the Central China Branch Bureau, Zhou Hao joined our party and lurked in the Kuomintang as a special member of the CPC.
And these news, from Zhou Hao's entry into prison to his release, the change of identity, Zhou Ho's wife Li Huachu is not aware, because Zhou Hao in the Wang puppet government in order to hide his identity, it is impossible to be alone, he met Wu Xueya, who has a well-off family and studied law at Southern University, and the two married.
Zhou Hao then took Li Huachu to Nanjing, after a period of embarrassment, Li Huachu finally accepted Wu Xueya, she made concessions, took the child outside to rent a house, Li Huachu knew that Wu Xueya was helpful to Zhou Hao's work after that, so he chose to back down.
After joining the party, Zhou Hao ushered in his first task: to plot against the former Northwest Army's Sun Liangcheng department.
However, Zhou Hao was an idle man at this time, and his activities were too frequent to attract the attention of Kuomintang agents. So Zhou Ho took the initiative to propose to Mao Renfeng that he wanted to go to Shanghai to work as a Buddhist association. After some activities, Zhou Ho became the leader of the so-called Buddhist training group.
With this identity cover, Zhou Ho is more comfortable with his work. But unexpectedly, traitors appeared within the organization. Under the identification of traitors, Zhou Hao was once again imprisoned.
In prison, Zhou Hao was tortured, gritting his teeth and not revealing a word. The agents were identified only by traitors and could not find any other evidence. Coupled with the guarantee of Zhou Ho's friend Huang Yigong, Zhou Ho once again had a surprise.
After his release from prison, Zhou Hao was sent back to the Buddhist training group. Originally, after this time, the organization decided to suspend Zhou Ho's rebellion against Sun Bu. But unexpectedly, Chiang Kai-shek sent Zhou Hao to investigate Sun Liangcheng's department.
After the opening of the Battle of Huaihai, on November 8, 1948, he received a telegram from Chen Pixian, political commissar of the East China Military Region, asking him to immediately take the front line to instigate and win the uprising of sun liangcheng of the Kuomintang army.
After Sun Liangcheng surrendered, he was treated with courtesy by our army, so he volunteered to plot against Liu Ruming on the grounds that he had an old relationship with Liu Ruming of the 8th Corps, and Zhou Hao went with him.
However, Liu Ruming's over-caution made this rebellion fall short, and when he learned that Zhou Hao had been a major general in the military command, he believed that Zhou Hao was a "double-sided spy" of the military command, and that the name of persuasion was actually a "test" of his loyalty to the party-state, and when Zhou Hao and Sun Liangcheng were controlled, they were sent to Nanjing.
Zhou Hao was tortured by military agents in prison, but he always gritted his teeth and put life and death aside, and was tortured to death without revealing any information about the Communist Party.
In January 1949, Zhou Hao was killed by the enemy at the "Secret Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense" detention center of the Kuomintang in Nanjing. Zhou Hao was taken to the execution ground. The executioner was a former colleague of Zhou Hao.'s Zhou Ho acted very calmly, and said to the colleague who raised the gun to himself: "Brother, the gun hit on time!" ”
At this time, a million male divisions were about to cross the river, and Nanjing revealed its pre-dawn dawn.
Because Zhou Hao was a worker on the CCP's hidden front, he was secretly killed when he died, the bones and burial places have not been found, and his identity has not been made public, so his wife and daughter have become the family members of the secret agents, and life is very difficult.
As a worker on the hidden front, although he did not succeed in the campaign against Liu Ruming, the Party organization will never forget these comrades who gave their lives for the victory of the revolution.
In December 1965, the General Office of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee approved and approved the posthumous recognition of Zhou Ho as a revolutionary martyr and the care of his bereaved family, so that his legendary life could be brought to a successful end.
