"The Nameless Hero" unveils the little-known achievements of Comrade Yan Baohang, a legendary figure and strategic intelligence officer in our Party's covert operations. Zhang Xueliang's senior aide and close friend, he was once a favored figure around Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling, serving as the Deputy Secretary-General of the "New Life Movement." Yan Baohang reached the rank of Major General in the Political Department of the National Military Council. However, this "devout Christian," a friend of the Military Intelligence Bureau Director Dai Li and the Central Bureau Director Xu Enzeng, was personally introduced to the Party by Zhou Enlai as a "red super spy." Zhou Enlai tasked Yan Baohang with using his position and connections in the upper echelons of the Kuomintang to secretly gather international strategic intelligence for Yan'an and the Communist International. In 1941, Chongqing was the eastern center of the international anti-fascist battlefield. It was in this tempestuous wartime temporary capital of China that Yan Baohang utilized his connections to maneuver between the core of the Kuomintang government and the diplomatic circles of the United States, Britain, Japan, and Germany. With superb skills and exceptional courage, he led his intelligence team to initiate a seemingly calm yet thrilling espionage war. Following the outbreak of the "Southern Anhui Incident," to align with the Central Committee's struggle against the Kuomintang's hardline faction and to uphold the strategy of the anti-Japanese united front, Yan Baohang secretly maneuvered within the Kuomintang's Ministry of Foreign Affairs to create conditions for the American government's envoy to meet with Zhou Enlai, thereby contributing to the Communist Party's counterattack against the Kuomintang's anti-communist surge. At this time, however, Yan Baohang's radio station fell under the monitoring radar of the Military Intelligence Bureau. Director Dai Li ordered Major General Tan Wenqiang to investigate the radio signals. Upon investigation, Tan quickly targeted Yan Baohang, believing there was a connection between him and the radio, making Yan Baohang his number one opponent and attempting to dismantle Yan Baohang's group through the radio interception. Yan Baohang learned through his channels that German Nazi leader Adolf Hitler personally met with the military attaché of the Kuomintang embassy in Germany, Gui Yongqing, who secretly returned to Chongqing with two German intelligence officers. After synthesizing multiple sources of intelligence and his analysis, Yan Baohang concluded that Gui Yongqing had returned with extremely important top-secret intelligence for Chiang Kai-shek. After receiving orders from Hong Yan Village, Yan Baohang had to deal with the scrutiny and investigations from military intelligence agents and garrison police while simultaneously seeking breakthroughs in intelligence acquisition regarding Gui Yongqing's return. To divert military intelligence's attention, he disclosed the lead of Japanese spy He Kang to both Dai Li and Xu Enzeng, fostering a "dog-eat-dog" situation between the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Central Bureau. Meanwhile, he cleverly established connections with the military attaché of the German Embassy in China to further learn of significant military movements planned by Nazi Germany for the summer. Eventually, at a high-profile banquet, Yan Baohang overheard shocking intelligence from Kuomintang leaders: the German Nazis planned to launch a blitzkrieg against the Soviet Union around June 20, known as the top-secret "Operation Barbarossa". Dodging military intelligence agents tracking him, Yan Baohang had his two secret radio stations simultaneously transmit this world-shocking strategic intelligence to Yan'an and the Soviet embassy in China. After receiving Yan Baohang's intelligence, the Soviet Red Army took timely emergency measures, preventing the Nazi blitzkrieg from achieving its full effect. Because of providing this crucial intelligence in time, Stalin and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union sent a telegram to express their gratitude to the CCP… Following the leak of "Operation Barbarossa," Dai Li, who publicly appeared to be close with Yan Baohang but secretly suspected his identity, resolved to find evidence to eliminate Yan Baohang. He assigned Major General Tan Wenqiang to conduct covert investigations based on the banquet and Yan Baohang's activities and dispatched agents to infiltrate Yan Baohang's home for secret surveillance. During this process, members of the underground Communist organization linked to Yan Baohang were suddenly arrested by military intelligence, one of whom betrayed them, putting Yan Baohang's group once again at a life-or-death crossroads. After carefully analyzing the situation, Yan Baohang refused Zhou Enlai's directive to evacuate Chongqing, deciding to outmaneuver the intelligence agents and remain in Chongqing to continue gathering intelligence. At the end of 1941, under the instruction from Hong Yan Village, Yan Baohang targeted the newly established Special Technology Research Office of the Military Intelligence Bureau, using political means to pull the director of this office into his circle, obtaining another extremely significant piece of strategic intelligence: that the Japanese air forces, under the command of General Miura Go, would launch a surprise attack against the U.S. Pacific Fleet in early December. Simultaneously, the investigation by Major General Tan Wenqiang into Yan Baohang deepened, nearing a breakthrough in key evidence that would allow him to apprehend Yan Baohang and his group all at once. Yan Baohang once again utilized his connections with Kuomintang elites to rescue captured comrades, foiling Dai Li's conspiracy and Tan Wenqiang's assassination plan against him, and reported the strategic intelligence about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor to Yan'an. In 1945, with the Nazis' surrender and the end of the European War, the focus of the international anti-fascist battlefield shifted eastward. The Soviet side sent a message to the CCP, hoping to obtain intelligence about the Japanese Kwantung Army. After receiving this important task, Yan Baohang employed his connections within the U.S. military, military intelligence, and government to finally uncover a detailed intelligence report regarding the Japanese Kwantung Army's deployment from the Military Command's Third Department. He secured authorization from Political Department Minister Chen Cheng through his connection with Soong Mei-ling, and then approached that intelligence using his common Northeast background with military intelligence and Third Department leaders, posing as a researcher of Northeast conditions. However, Tan Wenqiang, who had been haunted by his earlier investigative failure, discovered Yan Baohang's activities and began a new round of reckless pursuits against him. Just as Yan Baohang secured the invaluable intelligence, the gun of Tan Wenqiang was also aimed at him. In a life-and-death moment, our underground intelligence personnel who had been secretly protecting Yan Baohang within military intelligence shot and killed Tan Wenqiang, allowing Yan Baohang to escape and deliver the intelligence to the Central Committee. To protect Yan Baohang, our underground intelligence personnel made the ultimate sacrifice. Thanks to the detailed intelligence on the Kwantung Army that Yan Baohang obtained, the Soviet Red Army advanced into Northeast China, decisively defeating the Japanese Kwantung Army, and thus World War II came to an end. Yan Baohang's acquisition of three pieces of strategic intelligence marked him as a shining monument in the history of CCP intelligence, playing an important role in the overall pattern of the world anti-fascist war, leading to his formal recognition by the Russian government in 1995. Yet this "red super spy's" identity and achievements were only known half a century later…
