In the history of the Kuomintang military, there is a mysterious female general, who is not only the only female general during the Republic of China, but also a figure whose reasons for the award have been kept secret for a long time.

The reason why this female general is mysterious is that she was born in the military and belongs to the spy personnel, and her identity information is only recorded in detail by the Kuomintang "Military Intelligence Bureau".

This Kuomintang female general is Jiang Yiying, the former chief of the Kuomintang Army's Unified Translation and Telecommunications Section, who has been praised for her legendary deeds of cracking the intelligence of the Japanese army's sneak attack on pearls.

1. Unusual background and special personality

Jiang Yiying's success is inseparable from her identity as a fellow countryman of Dai Li, the head of the military command, both of whom are from Jiangshan in Zhejiang, and the Kuomintang military commander is from many rivers and mountains, which is the tradition of Dai Li's employment.

Since Dai Li's command of the military command, the people of his hometown began to enter the military command one after another, and the formation of this employment system was not all caused by Dai Li's nepotism.

Jiangshan area is located in the western part of Zhejiang, deeply influenced by the Xianxia ancient road culture, which makes Jiangshan people have a kind of "Jiangshan complex", that is, a special hometown feeling.

During the period of the Republic of China, most of the Jiangshan people believed in the Three People's Doctrine and were full of patriotic spirit, and when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, many aspiring Jiangshan people joined the Kuomintang one after another.

Most of these Jiangshan people chose to join the military command and defected to Dai Li, who was in charge of the military command, and Dai Li also discovered the advantages of his hometown people engaged in intelligence work.

The Jiangshan dialect is obscure and difficult to understand, which is very suitable for intelligence work, and the people of Jiangshan are loyal to Dai Li, and they are Dai Li's most trusted confidants.

After a long time, the spies of Jiangshan nationality became "spies among spies", and Dai Li not only used them to manage the military command, but also used them to spy on other spies of origin.

With Dai Li's backer, it is not surprising that Jiang Yiying can become the only female general in the Kuomintang, and she has been valued by Dai Li since she joined the military command.

In 1932, Jiang Yiying, who graduated from middle school, was admitted to the Zhejiang Police Academy, and a total of 13 people were admitted to this school with Jiang Yiying, and each of them had to go through Dai Li's personal assessment.

At that time, Dai Li looked through the student files and found that there was a student from Jiangshan who looked sweet, so he was in a good mood and immediately ordered someone to bring Jiang Yiying to the office.

After the interview, Dai Li was pleasantly surprised to find that Jiang Yiying's personality and thinking were very special, with both the delicacy of a woman and the rationality of a man, and thus concluded that Jiang Yiying was a good seedling for intelligence work.

It was this meeting that prompted Jiang Yiying to enter the military command, and was valued by Dai Li, and her identity as a "Jiangshan person" directly paved her way to becoming a major general in the military command.

2. Deciphering the intelligence of the Japanese army and awarding the title of major general

After Jiang Yiying was trained in school, he was assigned to work in the military command and became a subordinate of Wei Daming, a military commander telecommunications expert, who was the soul of the military command and the mentor who led Jiang Yiying's transformation.

In the "Fujian Incident", Wei Daming deciphered the telegram code of the 19th Route Army, which was preparing to oppose Chiang Kai-shek, and helped Chiang Kai-shek suppress the rebellion.

In the early days of the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Dai Li, according to Chiang Kai-shek's instructions, set up a special technology research laboratory, which was responsible for deciphering the telegraph code of the Japanese puppet army.

Soon after the establishment of the Translation and Telecommunications Section, Jiang Yiying was selected to work as a translator in the Section, and because of her outstanding performance, Dai Li specially assigned her to be in charge of code-breaking work.

At the beginning of December 1941, Jiang Yiying successfully deciphered the intelligence that the Japanese army was about to attack Pearl Harbor in the United States

However, the arrogant Americans did not pay attention to this intelligence at all, and even laughed at China's kindness, as one American admiral said:

"How can there be such a thing, I think China is deliberately trying to sow discord between us and Japan. ”

The telegram that Jiang Yiying had worked so hard to decipher was thrown into the trash by the US Navy Command, and the tragedy of the total annihilation of the US Pacific Fleet was born.

Although the intelligence deciphered by Jiang Yiying did not attract the attention of the Americans, Chiang Kai-shek was very satisfied with the military command, believing that the military commander's intelligence work had been done very well and that China's image in the international community had been enhanced.

Chiang Kai-shek commended Dai Li, and Dai Li turned his head and rewarded Jiang Yiying, promoted Jiang Yiying to the head of the Translation and Telecommunications Section, and awarded Jiang Yiying the rank of major general.

3. Promote China-US cooperation and the final destination

Jiang Yiying's decipherment of the telegram was not known to the Japanese military headquarters, so after the Pearl Harbor incident, the Japanese military headquarters also sent special agents to Pearl Harbor to investigate the situation at the scene.

Jiang Yiying once again deciphered the telegram and handed it over to Dai Li to convey to the Americans, and this time, the Americans lowered their arrogant heads and chose to believe in the authenticity of the information.

Based on the telegram uncovered by Jiang Yiying, the Americans formulated a policy of isolating Japanese in the United States in order to prevent Japanese spies from continuing to operate in the United States.

As Chiang Kai-shek said, Jiang Yiying's brilliant record in deciphering the Japanese army's telegraph code enhanced the credibility of China's intelligence work, and the Americans began to take the initiative to ask for cooperation with the Kuomintang military command, and the two sides jointly established the Sino-US Intelligence Cooperation Institute.

With the establishment of the Sino-US Intelligence Cooperation Institute, US intelligence personnel and advanced equipment poured into China one after another, contributing to the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

In 1942, Jiang Yiying was sent to Burma by Dai Li, and went to the Burma battlefield with the Chinese Expeditionary Force to fight the Japanese army, and she once again completed the task brilliantly.

Jiang Yiying has always been grateful to Dai Li, when Dai Li encountered a plane crash, Jiang Yiying insisted that someone was secretly murdering, and at the same time actively carried out an investigation, which was squeezed out by all forces, and finally stayed away from the core department of the military command.

In 1949, when the liberation of the country was imminent, Jiang Yiying, like other important members of the Kuomintang, chose to flee to Taiwan and continued to work within the military command until the death of Mao Renfeng.

After leaving the military command, Jiang Yiying was introduced by a friend and became the principal of a national elementary school in Taipei and became an ordinary person.

It is rumored that Jiang Yiying took pride in deciphering the code of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor all her life, and became arrogant and arrogant because of this, which eventually led to her divorce from her first husband.

In 2006, 98-year-old Jiang Yiying passed away, leaving the world with unlimited speculation about the legendary and mysterious female general of the Kuomintang military commander.

Interestingly, Jiang Yiying's descendants are diametrically opposed to her incognito style, and her granddaughter Ni Yalun is the darling of major media outlets, and often makes headlines in Taiwanese media with scandals.

In 1998, Ni Yalun's relationship with Chiang Kai-shek's great-grandson Jiang Youbai was exposed, but this relationship soon ended without a problem......
