The Red Agents are a mysterious group. In the protracted contest with the Kuomintang central unification, military command, and other spy organs, they have foiled one conspiracy after another of their opponents with their superhuman wisdom, tenacious will, and ingenious schemes in defending the party Central Committee, eradicating traitors who defected to the enemy, plotting against Chiang Kai-shek's uprising, and exposing the enemy's conspiracies, and made indelible contributions to the founding of New China.
Some of them have achieved fame and worship the generals, but most of them have become unsung heroes because of the particularity of this work. Some people, who shed blood and sacrifice for this special cause, sacrificed their precious lives and posthumously recognized as martyrs for decades. Zhang Luping, the "red female spy" lurking next to Dai Kasa, is one of them.
01 Rushed to Yan'an to resist Japan and save the dead
In July 1921, Zhang Luping (young name Yu Jiaying, scientific name Yu Shuoqing, pseudonym Yu Huilin, Li Lin, etc.) was born in Chongqing County (now Chongzhou City), Sichuan Province, Chengnan Street Yang GongbaoFu, to an intellectual family.
In 1935, Zhang Luping was admitted to Chengdu Jianguo Middle School, and at a young age, she cared about national affairs, loved progressive books and periodicals, and was a new woman who was determined to serve the country with patriotism.
After the "July 7 Incident" in 1937, the anti-Japanese national united front advocated by the Communist Party of China won the support of the people of the whole country, and the revolutionary holy land of Yan'an attracted millions of patriotic young people.
In the late autumn and early winter of 1937, Zhang Luping and 10 young male and female students from Chengdu Shuhua Middle School, who were studying in Chengdu Shuhua Middle School, embarked on a journey to Yan'an, and under the protection of the Eighth Route Army Office, they arrived in Yan'an on February 3, 1938.
Upon arriving in Yan'an, Zhang Luping trained in the 14th team of Shaanxi North Public School for three months, and on May 12, 1938, she transferred to the 5th team of the 3rd Brigade of the Kang Da To study. Under the care and cultivation of the party organization, she quickly grew up.
02 Go deep into the tiger's den and fight heroically
In October 1938, at the age of 17, Zhang Luping joined the Communist Party of China in Yan'an. In the autumn of 1939, the Organization Department of the Central Committee hoped that she would take advantage of her father's position as commissioner of the Yu'an Minmeishan Special Office and commander of the 1st Provisional Division of the Sichuan Army to go to Chongqing to carry out united front work.
Zhang Luping happily accepted the organizational arrangement, and went to Chongqing, the wartime capital full of white terror, with her newly married Husband Li Qing (who served as the Minister of Communications after the founding of New China). However, to the surprise of the husband and wife, Zhang Luping went to Chongqing this time, but she actually dealt with the devil and fought in the bloody tiger's den - military command.
In November 1939, Zhang Luping came to Chongqing and contacted the Southern Bureau of the CPC Central Committee at No. 50 Zengjiayan. Her arrival made Ye Jianying, the leader of the Southern Bureau, shine with great joy: Isn't this exactly the person we urgently need? Instead of letting Zhang Lupingyun do the united front work of contacting her father and the Sichuan Army, it was more appropriate to arrange for her to do the work of contacting and transmitting intelligence on the military command radio.
At this time, the Southern Bureau had developed several secret party members such as Zhang Weilin and Feng Chuanqing in the Kuomintang Military Command Telecommunications Office, and Ye Jianying decided to let Zhang Luping enter the Telecommunications Headquarters of the Kuomintang Military Command Bureau as a "family member" of the military command staff (Zhang Weilin's sister, so she changed her name to Zhang Luping).
At that time, the Southern Bureau gave Zhang Luping three tasks:
1. Establish a special branch led by the Military Group of the Southern Bureau of the Communist Party of China to lead Zhang Weilin and others who have already infiltrated the military command organs;
2. Directly contact the Southern Bureau to pass on information;
3. Where possible, continue to develop secret Party members within the Military Command.
Since then, under the command of the military group of the Southern Bureau of the CPC and under the leadership of Zhang Luping, the party members of the special branch of the Military Command Radio Station have risked being arrested and killed at any time in a seemingly calm but actually dangerous environment, and have taken advantage of their unique advantages to collect and transmit one important intelligence after another for the military group of the Southern Bureau of the CPC.
Through the information they provided, the Central Committee, the Southern Bureau and the relevant underground party organizations repeatedly smashed the enemy's plots and attacks.
For example, they unknowingly captured a top-secret telegram sent by Dai Kasa to Hu Zongnan, and the Kuomintang secret service group personally dispatched by Dai Kasa to infiltrate Yan'an was captured as soon as it entered the People's Liberation Army; and the Southern Bureau safely transferred underground party members who had been exposed in Chongqing based on the relevant information they had learned.
03 Identity exposed Unfortunately arrested
One day in mid-February 1940, Zhang Weilin, who was investigating and investigating the Telecommunications Supervision Section, had an accident by burning three vacuum tubes on the receiver.
Vacuum tubes were very scarce electronic equipment at that time, so the attention of section chief Xiao Maoru was introduced. A series of "leaks" made the repeatedly frustrated Dai Kasa have no place to fire, and he decided to use this as a breakthrough to arrest Zhang Weilin and send him to the detention center of the inspection office for confinement.
The inspection office sent people to Zhang Weilin's residence to search and found top-secret documents of the military command, radio codes, and applications for Zhang Weilin and others to join the CPC organization.
After Zhang Weilin was arrested, the enemy surrounded the telecommunications station that night and arrested Zhao Ligeng, Wang Xizhen, Yang Guang, Chen Guozhu, and An Wenyuan. Feng Chuanqing, who was on duty at the newspaper office, found that the situation was abnormal, and cleverly ran over the wall to the Southern Bureau of the COMMUNIST Party, but unfortunately was arrested on the way to the later transfer, and finally failed to escape the clutches of the enemy.
This was the "Military Unification Radio Case" that shocked the Kuomintang authorities at that time, and was called "the greatest failure of Agent Dai Kasa's career." ”
Under the bloody interrogation of the military command, An Wenyuan defected and confessed the situation of the special branch of the military command radio. At this time, Zhang Luping was visiting relatives in Chengdu, and the military commander sent her a telegram in the tone of Zhang Weilin: "I hope that my sister will return to Chongqing quickly when she is seriously ill." ”
When Zhang Luping received the telegram, she was impatient, and she first considered that her sick comrades needed to be cared for, but her experience in underground struggles filled her with vigilance—she wrote to the military group of the Southern Bureau of the Communist Party of China to report her whereabouts, and then got into a car bound for Chongqing.
After receiving Zhang Luping's letter, the military group of the Southern Bureau of the CPC was taken aback and quickly sent people to the station to wait in an attempt to rescue Zhang Luping before the agents arrested her. But the agents had already waited for the net, and Zhang Luping's car wash had just arrived at the Chongqing Lianglukou Station, and she was arrested.
Such a shocking case actually occurred within the well-guarded military command, which made Dai Kasa lose all face. After their arrest, Zhang Luping and 7 others were escorted to Chongqing Baigongguan Prison.
Annoyed and angry, Dai Kasa personally went out on the horse, harsh interrogation + soft and hard treatment was his routine, but this time, he failed again: Zhang Luping and others were always tight-lipped, unyielding, and Dai Kasa found nothing.
Soon, Old Jiang learned of this earth-shattering and earth-shattering case, and after being shocked, he became furious. He scolded Dai Kasa: "You often boast about how powerful the military unification is and how it broke into the Communist Party, and now the Communist Party has penetrated into the military unification, you still don't know, do you still have the face to live?" ”
Dai Kasa's heart jumped and he was speechless.
Old Chiang's humiliation was a great shame for the competitive Dai Kasa, who said to his cronies: "After the Zhang Weilin case, my shame was ten times worse than that of beating and scolding. This is the greatest shame of my life, the worst defeat in my struggle against the Communist Party! ”
In March 1941, Zhang Luping and seven others were transferred from Chongqing to Guizhou Shifeng Prison. In prison, Zhang Luping, Together with Luo Shiwen, Che Yaoxian, and Han Zidong, formed the underground branch of the CCP in prison, using the prison as a special battlefield for fighting against the enemy.
In late June 1945, Dai Kasa sent a secret telegram from Chongqing to Zhou Yanghao, director of Xifeng Prison: "Zhang Luping's seven people were secretly executed and reported to the bureau for the record. ”
04 Calm and Righteous At the age of 24
On July 14, 1945, just after dawn, Zhang Luping, who had just turned 24, and her comrades-in-arms Zhang Weilin, Feng Chuanqing, Chen Guozhu, Yang Guang, Wang Xizhen, and Zhao Ligeng, a total of 7 people, were escorted into a military truck. They know that the last moment has arrived.
In the more than 4 years of struggle with the enemy in Shifeng Prison, this was the first time that the 7 of them had gathered together. Zhang Luping took the lead in singing revolutionary songs, and suddenly, the songs of 7 people reverberated for a long time among the lofty mountains and mountains.
When the prison cart drove to Happy Ridge, not far from the garrison warehouse of the military concentration camp, the car suddenly stopped, and the executioners with live ammunition chose to carry out orders here.
In the last breath of her life, Zhang Luping and her comrades-in-arms looked serene and calmly and righteously. A burst of gunfire came from behind, and Zhang Luping and her comrades fell in a pool of blood...
After the sacrifice of 7 heroes, a friend of the victim carved the words "1945.7.14" with a small piece of bull's horn bone, noting the hatred for the enemy and the mourning for his comrades-in-arms.
Due to the lack of archival information, Zhang Luping and her comrades-in-arms were once shadowed by "traitors" and "spies". In December 1981, the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued instructions to clarify the problem of victims in enemy prisons. The Sichuan Provincial Party Committee and the Guizhou Shifeng County Party Committee and other departments organized forces to conduct a large-scale review, and the names of the 7 martyrs were finally included in the list of martyrs. In 1984, the remains of Zhang Luping and 7 other people were relocated to the Xifeng County Martyrs' Cemetery for burial.
In July 2005, Zhang Luping's husband, Li Qing, was 85 years old and ascended to The Pinnacle again, and he wrote a magnificent and fierce poem to his wife, Zhang Luping, a martyr of the first class of the Republic: Cangshan buried loyal bones, and the mighty spirit ran through the rivers. Dreams surround the lonely soul, how not to remember Yan'an!
