In the spring and summer of 1940, Tang Shengming, with the exception of his well-dressed wife Xu Lai and her female assistant, all the captured persons made a statement of surrender in the Wang pseudo China Daily. This incident had a very bad influence. Japanese masters praised Li Shiqun's ability and dealt a heavy blow to the anti-Japanese elements in Chongqing. After the incident, Dai sent a telegram to the military workstation in Shanghai to find out the truth as soon as possible, but Tao Yishan and others were too late to investigate. However, when Xu Lai and his hostesses, Mo and Mo, were playing mahjong in the private residence of the Nanjing 58 Aisha, they revealed his undercover identity as Zhang Beisheng. A month before the murder, he was secretly arrested by Wang's puppet agents while sleeping in a brothel on Guangdong Road. He couldn't resist being tortured and confessed to himself. He also offered to help arrest Ma and the others, which was an instant success. Xu went home and told her husband the news. Tang Shengming immediately tried to tell the heads of the Shanghai military district and high school to sever any contact with Zhang Beisheng, and prepared to wait for an opportunity to kill the cleverly disguised traitor. The Japanese authorities later transferred the exposed Zhang Beisheng to Nantong as an inspector.
In the fall of 1942, he attended an important high-level meeting in Nanjing of the Wang pseudo-military committee chaired by Wang Jingwei himself. At the meeting, Wang said that the six generals of the Japanese commander-in-chief in China had told him that two divisions must be sent in the near future to cooperate with the Japanese in a surprise attack on the Soviet Anti-Japanese Army and the New Fourth Army. The Zhenjiang Yuepu Mixed Brigade would then be the main force and 60 naval aviators would be sent to Nanjing and Shanghai to assist in the operation. Wang Jingwei, Ren Yuandao, Ye Peng, Sun Liangcheng and other generals discussed the battle strategy and warned everyone to keep it secret. Tang Shengming was very surprised and returned to his residence worried. How to convey this extremely important information in the shortest possible time? At that time, the anti-Japanese intelligence network of Nanjing Military Command and Central China system was almost paralyzed by Wang's agents, and Xia Xiaomei, the female intelligence officer in Shanghai who kept in touch with him, had already returned to Shanghai for treatment. After further consideration, Tang Shengming asked her to take the risk of returning to Shanghai. At this time, Xu Lai had already sensed the danger and was under great pressure being in danger. But with the anti-Japanese cause in mind, she agrees to go back to Shanghai to deliver the message. In the soft sleeper compartment of the train, Xu Lai meets the Wang Fake Manchu Academy of Science on the Yangtze River. He often traveled between Nanjing and Shanghai, dumping gold and precious calligraphy and artifacts. The Japanese gendarmes and spies on the train seem to have long recognized this high-ranking official and have never turned a blind eye to embarrass him. Jiang inadvertently provided cover for the long-desired Xu Lai. The two of them ate tea, talked and laughed, and the trip was considered to be a surprise. Thanks to accurate and timely intelligence, the Soviet resistance forces cut many losses.
When Xu Lai lived in Nanjing, she often accompanied her husband to visit attractions such as the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Mochou Lake and Wuzhou Park, or went to Fuzimiao Temple to savor Qinhuai snacks. In Nanjing under Japanese rule, black prison vans and police cars often whizzed by, and there were Japanese police and gendarmes everywhere. The whole city was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere. In fact, Wang Zuma, the chief of the Nanjing General Political Department, was always suspicious of the couple. He secretly listened in from time to time and sent agents to the Telecommunications Bureau to listen in on the phone calls of Mr. and Mrs. Tang Xu, but found nothing.In early 1943, Xu came to visit the families of the murdered anti-Japanese volunteers, which aroused serious suspicions of Ma, Wei, Li and Almos
Turns out that as early as 1941, there were attempts in Nanjing by anti-Japanese volunteers, such as Huang Yiguang and Shao Mingxian, to assassinate Wang Jingwei. Later, an assassin from the Military Operations Unit killed a Japanese hypocrite. Ma cracked both cases, and most of those involved were executed after their arrest. Huang Yiguang's widow, Wang Xiangxiang, was released after about three months of imprisonment. Because of her illness, she was unable to work, lost her livelihood and was in a miserable situation. Family and friends were afraid to lend a helping hand for fear of trouble. Hearing this news, Xu Lai felt very heavy. After several considerations, she decided to visit Wang Zhixiang and give her financial support. One afternoon, Xu Lai drove to Wang Hexiang's residence. Here, she also unexpectedly met the young widow of the murdered anti-Japanese volunteer Yang Zhensheng. When I heard that her husband had been killed, she was pregnant, in jail, and released on bail. Now, her baby is almost two years old. Because of malnutrition, this little one is thin and sick. Xu Lai couldn't stand it anymore, so he hugged it and kissed it over and over again. His eyes filled with tears. She comforted Wang and Yang to take care of themselves and gave them food such as powdered milk, sausages and cookies. Wang's puppet agent, who had been snooping around, recognized the stunning beauty as Xu Lai, and knowing that her husband was a new member, a member of the new military commission, he didn't rush to stay and ask questions, and reported back to his boss on the same day.
Three days later, the horse in the Fuzhimiao International Hotel banquet just returned from Suzhou and Xu Lai. In fact, it is not that the big secret agent head is cruel and ferocious, but really do not dare to hope. Because Tang Shengming and Xu Lai are both celebrities in Nanjing, Wang Jingwei summoned Tang Shengming many times and was treated with great courtesy. Tang Shengming had a close and delicate relationship with Zhou Fohai, who was very popular with Japanese military and political officials in Nanjing. Roaring Sky reported his suspicions to Chai Shan, the director of the Nanking secret service, and the four generals. Chai Shan pondered for a long time, but did not make a clear statement. He praised the horse's loyalty and skill, but asked him to be careful. He could not take action against Tang Shengming and his wife until he had hard evidence. Roaring Sky must be patient and careful. After three glasses of wine, he politely advised Ms. Tang to avoid embarrassing him by not contacting some of the people on the internal control list of the Political Police Headquarters in the future. He listened to the words and immediately expressed his gratitude, praised Ma for being a friend, and rebuked Xu Lai. Xu Lai was also shocked. It seemed that Ma was really quite good, not inferior to Shanghai at all. No wonder the Chinese and soldiers who had been engaged in the underground anti-Japanese struggle in Nanjing for one or two years were almost paralyzed by the arrest. Afterwards, Tang Shengming repeatedly warned Xu Lai to be careful.
In April 1943, the Japanese Hoshiya Institute, out of propaganda needs, instructed the Chinese East Asia Society, controlled by the big traitors, Ma, to find some famous Chinese actors in Shanghai and Nanjing to make films glorifying the "Flower of Empire" and the life of spies in Yunzi Nanzhao. Finding the leading lady was the most important thing. At the master's command, the slaves were busy, with cultural traitors Hu Lancheng and Zhang Shankun stepping in to organize the film crew. While many progressive actors and stars in Shanghai, such as Zhao Dan and Jinshan, ran away early to the rear or the South China Sea to join the anti-Japanese war. Zhou Xuan and other movie stars and actors who stayed in Shanghai were unwilling and unsuitable to play Japanese female spies. When Hu Lancheng thought of Xu Lai, he volunteered to be a couple near Tang Shengming's house. Xu Lai refused, saying she had been dying for seven years and was too ill to do it. Hu Lancheng never gave up and struggled, which made Tang Shengming and his wife very angry. Tang Shengming took half a month's vacation and accompanied his wife to Shanghai, where he stayed at a good friend's house and lived in seclusion to avoid entanglements. Hu Lancheng hated him so much that he could not do anything about it. The filming plan collapsed as no suitable person could be found to play the beautiful spy Yunzi Nanzhao.
After the incident subsided, Xu Laiyuan left Shanghai to live in seclusion for personal protection. Tang Shengming stayed in Nanjing and continued his clandestine work in intelligence and counterinsurgency. Soon after, he was appointed pseudo security commander of Jiangsu Province and lived in Suzhou, shuttling between Jiangsu, Nanjing and Shanghai to reunite with his wife. Xu Laixi admired the beauty of Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, but was forced to quietly leave Nanjing and return to his hometown of Shanghai.
What pleased Xu Laixi the most was that in the early 1930s, she appeared in movies such as "Going to the Northwest" to publicize the war. She also took pride in helping her husband fight the Japanese in the fallen area of Nanjing. After the victory in the war, Tang Shengming was appointed as a lieutenant general designer. He was active in the war against Japan, but he had a job but no rights, meaning he had nothing to do. Soon after, he went to Shanghai to reunite with his beloved wife. in 1949, the Xu Lai family moved to Hong Kong, and Tang Shengming went to Changsha to participate in the Uprising. in the fall of 1950, he became the deputy commander of the 21st Corps of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), and took part in the command of the southern battles for the liberation of the two provinces of Guangdong and Guangxi. His brother, Tang Shengzhi, also joined the people. 1956, Tang Shengming went to Beijing as a Counselor of the State Council, and Xu Lai came back to Beijing to settle down. She died in 1973 at the age of 64. 1987, Tang Shengming completed his life journey, forever with her beloved!
