In 1951, Yang Dengying, a special agent of the Central Command, was arrested, but why did Chen Geng order: He is a hero and will be released soon?
After the liberation of Nanjing, the government issued a stipulation that all those who had served in the Kuomintang government should be registered with the public security organs; but the deadline had expired, but Yang Dengying, who had been a powerful cadre of the Central Unification Committee and vice president of the Nanjing Reflection Institute, did not register for a long time, and was finally arrested by the public security bureau.
Logically, Yang Dengying's past resume in the Kuomintang would be severely punished by the government, but when Chen Geng learned of this, he immediately ordered Yang Dengying's release and called him a great hero of the revolution.
Yang Dengying studied at Waseda University in Japan, and it was here that he was exposed to progressive ideas, and after returning to China, he went to work in a foreign firm run by the Japanese in Shanghai; because he was very sociable, he had friends in all walks of life in Shanghai, and also met Gu Shunzhang, Chen Yangshan and other communists.
In the early days of the establishment of the Party Affairs Investigation Section of the Organization Department of the Kuomintang Central Committee, the predecessor of the Central Unification Committee; due to the shortage of manpower, Yang Jianhong, the person in charge of the Shanghai Central Unification And Yang Dengying's compatriot who was also Yang Dengying's hometown, thought that Yang Dengying had a wide network of contacts in Shanghai and had a flexible mind, so he forcibly pulled Yang Dengying into the company.
Yang Dengying did not want to participate in these affairs, but considering that Yang Jianhong was fierce and fierce, if he repeatedly resigned, he would not be killed, so he consulted Chen Yangshan's opinion, and then Chen Yangshan reported this important news to the organization.
At that time, the Central Special Branch had just been established, and Chen Geng, who was in charge of intelligence work, felt that although Yang Dengying was politically unreliable, if there was an internal line within the enemy, then the future work would be carried out more smoothly.
Soon after, Chen Geng asked Yang Dengying to meet on the Bund through Chen Yangshan, and the two had an in-depth conversation, and finally successfully developed Yang Dengying into a double-sided spy.
Under the arrangement of the Central Special Branch, Yang Dengying was often able to obtain some communist intelligence, gradually gained yang Jianhong's trust, and also attracted the attention of Chen Lifu, Zhang Daofan and other central unification bigwigs.
Soon after, Yang Jianhong committed suicide because of his fear of crimes involving economic issues, and on the recommendation of Chen Lifu, Yang Dengying was appointed as the commissioner of the Central Unification in Shanghai.
One day in August 1928, when the leaders of The Paper, Yang Yin, Zhang Jichun and other leaders were meeting at the Central Military Commission organ on Xinzha Road, they were suddenly arrested by the military and police of the concession, and the central authorities immediately realized that this must be an internal traitor.
After entrusting Yang Dengying with an investigation, it was learned that Bai Xin, the secretary of the Central Military Commission, had betrayed the revolution, and this time Peng Peng and others would be arrested suddenly, which was also the information provided by Bai Xin.
In order to rescue the arrested comrades, the Central Committee decided to hijack the car on the way that the concession authorities extradited Peng Peng and the others to the Kuomintang government, and with the help of Yang Dengying, obtained a specific route; but unfortunately, the enemy was also cunning, and took The Paper and others to the Kuomintang prison in advance, resulting in the failure of the rescue, and the surging and others were also killed a few days later.
Although the hero was righteous, the traitors must be eradicated; Bai Xin, knowing that his sins were serious, fled to the home of Fan Zhengbo, the leader of the Shanghai Municipal Party Department of the Kuomintang, to take refuge, and under the arrangement of the Kuomintang, Bai Xin prepared to study in Italy.
Yang Dengying personally visited Fan Zhengbo on the orders of the Party Central Committee, and successfully obtained the exact time for Bai Xin's departure to Italy, and according to this information, the red team successfully executed the traitor.
Yang Dengying did a lot for the Communist Party since becoming a double-sided spy; he was arrested in 1930 when Ren Bi was arrested, and Guan Xiangying was arrested in 1931, all with Yang Dengying's direct help, he was released from prison.
But at this time, Gu Shunzhang, who was in charge of the central defense work, was arrested and defected in Hankou, because Gu Shunzhang had a large amount of top-secret information about the Party Central Committee and knew that Yang Dengying secretly worked for the Party.
After the incident, Chen Geng found Yang Dengying, took out a few gold bars, and asked him to quickly go outside to hide from the limelight, but Yang Dengying refused; subsequently, Xu En personally took the agent and arrested Yang Dengying, and in prison, Yang Dengying never revealed any secrets.
After the Songhu War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in Shanghai, the Central Unification considered holding an important position with Yang Dengying, and if Chiang Kai-shek knew that the person in charge of the Central Unification in Shanghai was also an underground party, there would be no good fruit to eat, and finally under the bail of Zhang Daofan, Yang Dengying was released from prison, and then Xu En arranged for Yang Dengying to take an idle post as vice president of the Capital Reflection Institute.
After the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance, Yang Dengying did not move west with the state capital to Chongqing, but stayed in Nanjing, making a living by setting up stalls.
After the liberation of Nanjing, the government required all those who had served in the Kuomintang government in the past to register with the Public Security Bureau, but Yang Dengying believed that he had done things for the Communist Party in that year, so he did not register, and as a result, yang Dengying was arrested as soon as the deadline expired.
When Chen Geng learned of Yang Dengying's arrest, he immediately ordered Yang Dengying's release and called him a great hero of the revolution.
In 1956, Chen Geng went to Nanjing to meet his old friend Yang Dengying, who had been separated for many years, and the two of them were full of emotions; seeing that Yang Dengying was poor and destitute, he entrusted the Nanjing Municipal Public Security Bureau to buy furniture for Yang Dengying and to give them a family subsidy every month; with the help of Chen Geng and others, Yang Dengying's living conditions were greatly improved.
In 1969, Yang Dengying died of illness, and before he died, he said: "I am not a spy, not a traitor, nor a traitor, I can't tell what kind of person I am, but Premier Zhou knows me..."
