During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the military command also produced brave men who sacrificed their lives for the country, including the commander of the secret agent lurking in the Beijing-Shanghai area, and the "governor of Nanjing District" of the military command, Shang Zhensheng, mingfang, zhensheng, and another character line
。
Shang Zhensheng
Born in 1902 in a family of clerks in Luoshan County, Henan Province.
In February 1919, at the age of 19, Shang Zhensheng was admitted to the Henan Preparatory School for Studying in the United States (the predecessor of National Henan University), with a five-year study system.
Graduated in January 1924,
During his time at the school, he was with Li Chongwu (who served as the principal of Taiwan's Longhua Industrial College in the 1960s) and Liu Yizhou (who later joined the military and became a deputy general of the National University of China and deputy commander of the security of Henan Province after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and a famous dramatist, with the same surname as the elder of Xinhai)
Living in the same dormitory, the three get along well, intimate, and all love to play football, often in and out together, and also used the summer vacation to take a train to Tianjin to watch Chinese and Western football matches, classmates laughed and called "three jie".

In Henan in the early and mid-20s, it was depressed and dull, and the warlords Zhao Qian, Liu Zhenhua, Dang Yukun and other warlords fought endlessly, expropriating and violently, bringing deep disasters to the people. Shang Zhensheng studied in the Henan Preparatory School for Studying in the United States, because of his energy, extensive communication, and courage to take responsibility, he had some prestige among his classmates, and was once elected to preside over the Henan Provincial Students' Federation, promote various patriotic movements, and spare no effort to publicize anti-imperialism and anti-feudalism. His activities attracted the attention of local authorities, who warned him of threats. After secret discussion with Liu Yizhou, Shang Zhensheng resolutely threw his pen into The Rong, and the two of them jointly went south to Guangzhou and were admitted to the Sixth Infantry Section of the Whampoa Military Academy. After graduation, he plunged into the vigorous revolutionary tide and joined the Kuomintang, becoming one of the early cadres in the Kuomintang's special early secret service organization.
In 1929, Shang Zhensheng successively served as the director of the Henan Provincial People's Normal Institute and the Henan Provincial Baiquan Rural Normal School and the director of the Department of Social Sciences for five years. During this period, he devoted himself to propagating the political ideas of the Kuomintang and recruited many students to join the Kuomintang. Dozens of male and female students later joined the military and the central command.

In the summer and autumn of 1934, Shang Zhensheng was transferred to the deputy station chief of the Henan Station of the Special Service Department of the Fuxing Society, and assisted the station manager Liu Yizhou to establish an organization, train cadres, and carry out work. At that time, the Espionage Section of the Henan Security Headquarters in Donghuamen, Kaifeng was the station of the Henan Station of the Special Agent Office of the Fuxing Society. In the minds of Kuomintang intelligence leaders Dai Kasa, Zheng Jiemin, and Tang Zhong, Shang Zhensheng, who was born in Huangpu and was able to use martial arts and literature, was a cadre who could act alone. This provided a reliable foundation for the treacherous environment of the struggle behind enemy lines during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression a few years later, when the Military Command Bureau appointed Shang Zhensheng in Chongqing as the deputy district chief and even the acting district chief of the Nanjing District of the Military Command.
In 1935, Shang Zhensheng was promoted to station manager of Henan Station. Later, he also served as the director of the political training department of the Sixty-fourth Division.

On the eve of the full-scale outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1937, Nanjing, as the capital of the Republic of China, has always been the center of espionage warfare between China, Japan, Britain, the Soviet Union and other countries. The main line is, of course, the struggle between the spies of China and Japan. The four departments of the Kuomintang Military Command, the Central Command, the Gendarmerie Command, and the Capital Police Department often acted independently when dealing with Japanese spy organizations such as the Mei Organ and the Imperial Naval Intelligence Department lurking in Nanjing; because of inadequate cooperation, there were always omissions and passivity, and even vicious cases such as Huang Jun, secretary of the Executive Yuan, and Huang Jiliang, chief of the Foreign Ministry section, were bribed by Japanese spies, became traitors, and stole a large amount of military and political intelligence.
At that time, the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau was located at No. 53, Ji'e Lane, on the west side of Zhujiang Road in the city (according to legend, this was once the residence of Ma Shiying, a powerful minister of the Southern Ming Dynasty). In addition, the military command also set up three or four organs inside and outside the city, such as the headquarters and training class of the special operations team located in the Hong Gong Ancestral Hall at No. 2 Ming Wa Lang, Xinjiekou, and the Fuxing Society Office at No. 15 Emei Road, Chengdong, which were heavily guarded everywhere. Dai Kasa's whereabouts are mysterious and he rarely appears at the bureau headquarters.

In the autumn of 1937, the war situation in the front took a sharp turn for the worse, and Chiang Kai-shek secretly ordered Dai Kasa to transfer the main force and detainees of the military command to Wuhan in batches, and the Nanjing District of the military command (now the second division of the great army unification) was allowed to move from No. 11 Heilang Lane, The former Xiyoushi Street (now Shengzhou Road) to the almost empty headquarters of the Ji'e Lane Bureau. District Governor Qian Xinmin (Director and Director of the Nanjing Special Police Section) is responsible for the overall work, focusing on internal security and anti-espionage work.
Qian Xinmin: A shrewd and strong man, graduated from Shanghai Guanghua University, was summoned and rewarded by Chiang Kai-shek for his meritorious service in solving anti-communist cases, and was promoted from lieutenant colonel of Jinhua Station in Zhejiang Province to director of the special police department of the Headquarters of the Nanjing Bureau, and soon to the rank of major general. Shang Zhensheng, on the other hand, was in charge of personnel arrangements, communications, and liaison, and set about establishing a base for military unification activities in Liuhe County, jiangbei Province, to lay the foundation for the anti-Japanese espionage war after the fall of the capital in the future.

At that time, many people judged that in the face of the fierce wave of onslaught by the Japanese army, navy and air force on the Songhu battlefield, the capital was very likely to be lost. After Shang Zhensheng entered Nanjing, he was arranged to live in the apartment of the Military Commission office northwest of Xinjiekou. He worked intensely every day and became Qian Xinmin's right-hand man. Two days before the city was destroyed, Shang Zhensheng was leading some troops to the Sanchahe Wharf on the western outskirts of the city to assist the Central Army Hospital in transferring the last batch of seriously wounded nationalists by sailing. Zhang Zhenzheng, deputy commander and chief of staff of the Gendarmerie Command, commanded the personnel of the gendarmerie organs and the third regiment of gendarmerie equipped with German-style equipment to retreat by boat, and the deputy commander of the third regiment, Liu Zhenzheng, happened to be a classmate of Shang Zhensheng when he was studying at the Henan Preparatory School for Staying in the United States, and they were all from Luoshan County. He pulled Shang Zhensheng aside and advised Him to judge the situation and quickly board a ship with his troops and retreat to Jiangbei and the county safety zone. However, Shang Zhensheng refused, leading Bu Yulin, An Shaoru and other subordinates back to the city, and then receiving orders from their superiors to immediately destroy the documents around them, and retreating out of the city to the Liuhe Donggou Mountains via Yanziji.
On December 13, 1937, after a week of fierce fighting, Nanjing fell. From that day on, the Japanese army wantonly burned and raped and raped women, and carried out a horrific massacre in a planned and systematic manner.
In the spring of 1938, Shang Zhensheng disguised himself as a grocery merchant and quietly returned from Liuhe to Nanjing, which had just experienced an unprecedented catastrophe, and in order to carry out his work as a cover, Shang Zhensheng rented a small gray brick western-style building at No. 8 Dashugen on the shore of Xuanwu Lake, and rented two old bungalows in an alley in zhongfumen in the north of the city as a secret contact point. In the 1930s, the north of Nanjing was sparsely populated and desolate, which was convenient for concealment, but it was not conducive to intelligence activities. After Shang Zhensheng enlisted the consent of Qian Xinmin (after the city was destroyed, Qian first crossed the river, then immediately sneaked back, and has been hiding in the international refugee camp around Jinling University on Shanxi Road to carry out activities), he opened a Wuyang shop at the entrance of Zhanyuan Lane in the middle of Zhonghua Road, selling foreign oil, foreign fire, etc., and also issued a fake good citizen certificate, under the pseudonym Wei Handing.

In the fall of 1938, he married Ms. Yang Jinghan, a middle school clerk with a background in the United States Church.
A few years before Shang Zhensheng was transferred to Nanjing as deputy head of the military command, the intelligence departments in Nanjing, such as the military command, the central command, and the gendarmerie command, waged a struggle against the Japanese spy organs. In the spring and summer of 1938, Shang Zhensheng found Wang Gaoke based on information provided by Zhao Shirui, who had previously worked in the foreign affairs group of the Capital Police Department. At that time, In order to avoid being hunted by Japanese agents and gendarmes, Wang Gaoke hid in the home of his in-laws who opened a small grocery store in the west of the city.
Wang Gaoke, a native of Nanjing, was born in 1915 and lived in Santiao Lane, Gulou. His family was poor, so that Wang Gaoke dropped out of school prematurely, and in order to make a living, he once went to the japanese ronin Sato Ki's house as a handyman and spoke some Japanese.
In February 1932, Sato Ki saw that Wang Gaoke was diligent and clever, so he introduced him to the Japanese Consulate General (upgraded to the Japanese Embassy in China in 1935) on the top of the drum tower in the city to seek a fixed income. Soon, Huang Siqing, a cadre of the military command, came to the door and told Wang Gaokexiao to join the military command in the form of national righteousness. Huang Siqing asked Wang Gaoke to take advantage of the convenience of being on duty at the Japanese Consulate General to collect and spy on the Japanese intelligence. Since then, Wang Gaoke has been in contact with Huang Siqing from time to time to deliver information.
In 1935, through the introduction of Wang Gaoke, Zhan Changlin also entered the Japanese Consulate General as an errand boy, and soon after, he was developed into a member of the Blue Jacket Society.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????? Wang pseudo military and police personnel
One day in June 1939, the Nanjing District of the Military Command Bureau learned that the Japanese Consulate General would hold a banquet to welcome Vice President Shimizu on the evening of June 10. Qian Xinmin was very excited when he learned of this, and decided to dispatch troops and move quickly, with Shang Zhensheng in charge of the overall command, with more than ten participants, and the list is as follows:
Executor of the operation
, Zhan Changlin.
Passing poison man
Pan Chongsheng (Zhan Changlin's brother-in-law), chief of the Special Police Extracurricular Affairs Unit of the Nanjing District Special Police of the Military Command, and Zhan Changbing, a grassroots special agent.
Chief Focal Point for Operations
Bu Yulin, political assistant secretary of the Nanjing District of the Military Command.
Poison selected person
An Shaoru, accounting director of Nanjing District of the Military Command.
Action aftermath
Liu Yuqing, assistant secretary of intelligence in Nanjing District of the Military Command, and clerks Wang Gaoke and Li Regeneration.
From the above list, it can be seen that this successful poisoning operation was by no means completed by the strength of individual agents, but a more well-planned patriotic anti-Japanese action.
On November 7, 1940, Qian Xinmin, the governor of nanjing district of the military command, was arrested at the home of his cousin Lu Guoyun on Tiantong Road in Shanghai, and was immediately taken to the headquarters of Wang Pseudo Agents at No. 76 Jisifei Road. He could not survive the torture and surrendered. The staff members he belonged to were all confessed by him, and more than 20 people were arrested successively. Among them, there is Deputy District Governor Shang Zhensheng. But he never expected that he was betrayed by his boss Qian Xinmin. After learning of Qian Xinmin's surrender, Li Shiqun was overjoyed and immediately led Renma and Qian Xinmin from Shanghai to Nanjing, where they met ma Xiaotian, the head of the pseudo-Nanjing headquarters, to secretly discuss a plan to arrest people. Led by Qian Xinmin, Huang Yiguang (who had infiltrated the puppet interior and served as a special member of the puppet aviation administration) and Shao Mingxian (the director of the Nanjing District Radio Station of the former military command of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, broke into the Wang puppet interior in 1939, and successively served as the director of the supervision department of the puppet capital police department and the director of the fourth division of the organization department of the puppet central government). Later, when Huang Yiguang was interrogated, Qian Xinmin actually pretended to be tortured next door and deceived Huang Yiguang into confessing. Qian Xinmin's rebellion was an extremely heavy blow to the military command of the Nanjing district.
Shang Zhensheng was escorted to Nanjing and imprisoned in the detention center at No. 21 Ninghai Road, the headquarters of the pseudo-Nanjing district. He was tortured many times to extract a confession, but he did not tell the truth, only acknowledging his identity as deputy district chief. According to Zhou Fohai, the second-ranking figure in the Wang Dynasty, after he was arrested and imprisoned after his victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1945, because he had served as a political instructor at the Central Military Academy in his early years, he had a good impression of Shang Zhensheng, who had come to Nanjing from Kaifeng, Henan Province, to participate in the training of the Central Political Training Class and won the first place in the professional examination, and had given him encouragement in person. Moreover, Shang Zhensheng's distant uncle Yang Changzhong, a famous master of taijiquan, came to Nanjing in the mid-1930s to teach at the Central Guoshu Museum, and taught Zhou Fohai and his wife taijiquan for more than a year, forming a friendship. Zhou Fohai then came forward to say hello, hoping to release Shang Zhensheng and give him a chance to "reform himself" and join the "peace movement".
On April 7, 1941, Shang Zhensheng was released, that is, he contacted the Chongqing Military Command Bureau and was appointed acting district governor of Nanjing District. He pretended to be obedient and served as chief of staff of the pseudo-independent Seventh Brigade. He soon re-entered the anti-Japanese underground struggle, and also installed more than ten people including Xu Weiyin, his former subordinate Xu Weiyin, in the Seventh Brigade.
According to Wang Gaoke's recollection in his later years, due to the difficulty of making a living in the rear area of eastern Zhejiang and unable to gain a foothold, he was forced to return to his hometown of Nanjing with a small adventure with his family, and temporarily broke away from the military command organization and did not receive allowances. Wang Gaoke supports his family and makes a living by selling spiced eggs in the streets and alleys. One day, he passed by Dingjiaqiao and was surprised to see Xu Weiyin, who was standing guard with a gun, at the gate of the Seventh Brigade Brigade Headquarters (formerly the Party Headquarters of the Kuomintang Central Committee). After reminiscing about the past, Xu asked Wang Gaoke why he had returned to Nanjing. Wang Gaoke replied. At this time, Wang knew that Shang Zhensheng had been appointed chief of staff of Wang Zhensheng's pseudo-independent Seventh Brigade (brigade commander Zhang Ruijing, a Native of Guangdong, who had been Wang Jingwei's bodyguard), and Wang Gaoke was very strange, how could Shang Zhensheng become a traitor? The next day, he went to see Shang Zhensheng at the root of the tree and wanted to ask for clarification. Shang Zhensheng seemed very cautious, did not say much, pondered for a while, said "you still do a small business to make a living", and gave Wang Gaoke a hundred yuan to send him away. After some more days, Wang Gaoke went to find Xu Weiyin, did not see him, but he was arrested by Wang Pseudo agents, taken to the Detention Center No. 21 Ninghai Road, locked up without asking any reason, and half a month later was escorted to the detention center of The headquarters of Agent Wang Fake No. 76 in Shanghai. It was there that it was learned that Shang Zhensheng had been arrested in Nanjing on the evening of November 8, 1941, and transferred to Shanghai, where he was also detained in this detention center, awaiting disposition.
It turned out that Shang Zhensheng had deceived Wang Jingwei's trust after he surrendered, and Wang had personally summoned him. Shang Zhensheng secretly summoned the military commanders who had infiltrated the Seventh Brigade to a meeting, and planned that when Wang Jingwei inspected the brigade headquarters later, Xu Weiyin, who was very accurate in marksmanship, would shoot him and kill him, so as to eliminate harm for the country and the nation. Because the Chongqing Military Command Bureau remitted 3,000 yuan to Shang Zhensheng through Hong Kong (which was a considerable sum of money in that year) for the expenditure of the Nanjing District of the Military Command, this aroused the suspicion of the agents of the Japanese Mei organs, so they withheld the money, and through Ma Xiaotian, the head of the Nanjing District of the pseudo-secret agent headquarters, tracked and monitored Shang Zhensheng and others. As a result, Shang Zhensheng was arrested again. Xu Weiyin and other military commanders were also arrested, which was another "victory" won by the headquarters of Wang Pseudo Secret Agents after the total annihilation of Chen Gongshu, the head of the Shanghai District of the Military Command. As for Qian Xinmin, who defected to the enemy (other materials say that Qian Xinmin was also a fraudulent surrender, and his mission was also to assassinate Wang Jingwei), he still could not escape death, and had been executed before this.

Shang Zhensheng knew that this time Zhou Fohai would not come forward to intercede again, and was ready for sacrifice. He had the heart to protect Wang Gaoke, who was involved in the poisoning operation, and never mentioned it. Xu Weiyin did not confess to Wang Gaoke after his arrest. More than a month later, the Headquarters No. 76 released Wang Gaoke and gave him a train ticket back to Nanjing. Wang Gaoke finally escaped death.
In the early morning of January 8, 1942, Shang Zhensheng and Ping Zuren, who had been the inspector of the third district of Jiangsu under the military command (this person had a confidant with a red face and an assistant. That is, the aunt of today's famous director Yingda, Yingyin. Martyred by suicide) was escorted by the firing squad of the Headquarters of Wang Pseudo Agent No. 76 to the execution site of Zhongshan Road in western Huxi for execution. The two men looked calm, and when they were about to be tortured, they shouted anti-Japanese patriotic slogans and were generous and righteous.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, Dai Kasa went to Shanghai after the restoration to participate in the "reception", and specially instructed the personnel of the Shanghai District of the Military Command to move the remains of The Heroic Martyrs of Shang and Ping to the Huxi Cemetery and erect a monument to commemorate it.

It is a bit of a pity that today, in Shanghai, the Huxi Cemetery has long been gone.
