At that time, Gongdelin was the highest-ranking prison for prisoners of war, and only officers above the rank of general and civilian officials at the level of provincial chairman were eligible to enter Gongdelin for rehabilitation. Therefore, at that time, Gong Delin gathered many famous generals, such as Du Yuming, Wang Yaowu, Fan Hanjie, Song Ruike and Li Xianzhou. So which two of the more than one hundred war criminals were the first to "check in" Gong Delin? What was their end?
One of the two men was named Kang Ze and the other was named Dong Yisan. Let's start with Kang Ze, a native of Anyue, Sichuan, who was admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy at the age of 21. It is strange to say that during his studies at the Whampoa Military Academy, the person Kang Ze most admired was not Lao Jiang but Wang Jingwei, who took Wang Jingwei as an example and often imitated his words and deeds in private. After graduating from the Whampoa Military Academy, Kang Ze was selected to study at Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow, where he and He Zhihan, Deng Wenyi, Zheng Jiemin, Gu Zhenggang, Gu Zhengding and others became classmates of the same period and had close contacts.
After returning from the Soviet Union, Kang Ze worked as a staff officer at chiang's side. Soon after, at the behest of Lao Jiang, Kang Ze, Together with He Zhihan and Zheng Jiemin, organized the "Revival Society" and was appointed as the chief of the Einsatzgruppen, becoming the backbone of Lao Jiang's inseparable confidants like Dai Kasa. Old Jiang knew that he had never brought soldiers, so he specially sent Guo Xunqi to be his deputy. In June 1949, Kang Ze was sent to Gong Delin for reform, and in 1963 he was pardoned as a commissioner of literature and history of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and four years later Kang Ze died of illness in Beijing at the age of 63.
After saying Kangze, let's talk about Dong Yisan again. Dong Yisan is a native of Jingmen, Hubei Province, his life is a bit complicated, after graduating from Huangpu Phase VI, Dong Yisan joined our party. After the defeat of the Great Revolution, he fought guerrilla warfare for three years, and in 1934 Dong Yisan joined the military under the introduction of his Huangpu classmate Liu Zikui and served as the head of the Hangzhou Radio Training Class. Soon after, he met Kang Ze by chance, and the two talked happily, and Kang Ze regarded Dong Yisan as his confidant.
During the war, Kang Ze served as the commander of the 15th Appeasement District, naming Dong Yisan as the head of the second division. In June 1949, he was sent to Gongdelin for reform. During this period, Dong Yisan and Huang Wei, Liang Peihuan, Chen Changjie and others were divided into the same study group, in a daily study class, because of Huang Wei's negative attitude, Dong Yisan also moved with Huang Wei, which was also the only fight in Gong Delin. In 1960, Dong Yisan was pardoned and served as the commissioner of literature and history of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and died in Beijing in 1989 at the age of 85
