They suffered for the cause of the Party, and some paid with their lives.

In March 1938, Ryūo Shiri, a Japanese member of the Communist Party of China working in the Shanghai intelligence system of the Communist Party of China, was transferred to Nanjing by the Intelligence Department of the Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters of Japan, where he served as the chief reporter of the Nanjing Branch of the Japanese Allied Society. He often sent important information to Shanghai.
After the establishment of Liang Hongzhi's "Restoration Government," the "ChungWa Young News Agency" was set up in Nanjing, which was actually the Chinese Language Department of the Nanjing Branch of the Japanese Allied Society.
After The ingenious arrangement of Siriko, Chen Feng, a member of the Communist Party of China and an intelligence worker, was admitted as the chief reporter of the "Central Associated Press." In this way, two people in Nanjing can regularly obtain important information.
In April 1939, the Shanghai Intelligence Station sent Fang Zhida to Nanjing as a traffic officer, specializing in transmitting important information.
After Fang Zhi arrived in Nanjing, he opened a small department store in the north of Suzaku Bridge, dealing in cigarettes, cosmetics and so on. Diagonally opposite the shop is the Ministry of Industry of the puppet Nationalist government, not far to the west is the Japanese gendarmerie, and to the east is a brothel.
Chen Feng often went to this small shop to buy cigarettes, and between the purchase and sale, he delivered intelligence and instructions. Sometimes they also meet in the downtown area, when the noisiest place in Nanjing is the Confucius Temple, where restaurants, casinos, and brothels are lined up, and it is the place where Japanese and pseudo officials spend their days drinking and drunken dreams, and they sometimes meet in restaurants here to pick up and drop off information.
This small shop opened by Fang Zhida, ben xiaoliwei, sits and eats the mountain and is difficult to maintain. At the same time, this way of covering is easy to expose for a long time. After organizational research, Chen Yifeng introduced Fang Zhida to the puppet government sports association as a small clerk through friends.
Since then, he has a legal identity, but he is not free to move, and once there is urgent information, it cannot be sent out in time. Soon, Chen Yifeng told him that if he saw the revelation in the newspaper to recruit the liaison officer of the "China Associated Press", he would immediately go to the exam and was admitted.
The liaison officer's messengers took the train every day to send news agencies' press releases to important cities along the Ningbo and Shanghai routes, providing news for the branches, newspaper houses, and puppet governments of these cities.
Liaison officer a total of 3 people, take turns to work, every day 1 person to Shanghai, 1 person back to Nanjing, so that every 4 days twice to Shanghai, no need to spend travel expenses, and salary, the road risk is also small, is the ideal cover occupation.
Chen Yifeng relied on his legal status as a journalist to move around and obtain a lot of valuable intelligence.
On October 1, 1939, the Japanese "General Headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army" was established in Nanjing, and chief of the general staff, Seishiro Sakagaki, declared at the inaugural meeting: "At present, the military policy is to attack the south and suppress the north to consolidate central China; the political policy is to induce Chiang Kai-shek to help Wang and resolutely oppose communism." Sirikoro took part in the meeting and quickly spread the information to Shanghai.
In March 1940, the Shanghai Intelligence Station sent Li Desheng (Ji Gang) to Nanjing to serve as the head of the intelligence group, and his lover Zhang Mingxian was responsible for secretly writing intelligence.
Li Dezhili No. 1 rented a house, under the cover of practicing medicine, and listed: "Li Desheng, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor". This mansion is small and elegant, with a black lacquered gate, and a small rockery behind the second gate, and along the way to the north, there is the hall and the east and west wing.
Li Desheng opened his examination in the hall, and the western room was their bedroom. The East Wing room is a guest room. In this way, an intelligence group composed of 8 people, including Li Desheng, Chen Yifeng, Xili Longfu, Wang Jinyuan (Wang Jingwei's personal secretary), Zhang Mingxian, and Fang Zhida, was established in Nanjing.
After the establishment of the Nanjing Intelligence Group, a large number of core political and military secrets, as well as important information at home and abroad, obtained by Wang Jinyuan, Xili Longfu, Chen Yifeng, and others who held important posts in the Jiang puppet regime were continuously sent to Shanghai and then transferred to the Yan'an Party Central Committee, the Headquarters of the Central Military Commission, and the Military Headquarters of the New Fourth Army.
Under the close surveillance of the enemy, the method of transmitting information mainly relied on secret writing, and the secret writing was undertaken by Zhang Mingxian. Some particularly important top-secret materials are repeatedly memorized by traffic officer Fang Zhida and memorized in his head, and then written out and sent to the destination.
Fang Zhida was young at that time, had a good memory, and after memorizing three or five hundred words of intelligence material in Nanjing, he got on the train and pretended to doze off, constantly "reviewing", and then wrote it according to memory after arriving in Shanghai. In this way, even if the enemy has the ability to reach the heavens, he will not be able to find out.
When it is difficult to memorize particularly long materials, they are secretly written in press releases and Japanese pseudo-magazines to conceal them from the enemy. In this way, the Nanjing Intelligence Group fought in the Tiger's Den with tight tension for more than two years, providing the Party and the army with a lot of valuable information, and was once praised by the Party Central Committee.
On June 22, 1941, German fascists suddenly launched an offensive against the Soviet Union, which soon occupied a large part of the Soviet Union. The Japanese invaders were also eager to try, in a vain attempt to seize the opportunity to seize the Soviet Far East.
A member of the Japanese Communist Party, Ryūfu Siri
In September of the same year, Xili Longfu Wang Jinyuan and others immediately sent reliable information that the Japanese army had suspended its preparations for war against the Soviet Union to Shanghai and relayed it to Yan'an.
In November, Nakanishi Gong, a Japanese communist party member working at the Shanghai Office of the South Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd. in Japan, and Ryūo Siri, Wang Jinyuan, and others detected another important piece of information: The Japanese troops in puppet Manchukuo and North China were moving southward, and a large number of Japanese warships stationed in Lushun and other ports were returning to Japan.
They analyzed that the Japanese Navy may attack the U.S. Pacific Fleet in the near future. The Nanjing Intelligence Group sent this important information to Shanghai and quickly relayed it to Yan'an. Sure enough, on the morning of December 7, 1941, the "Pearl Harbor Incident" occurred.
In October of the same year, the Comintern and soviet Sorge spy team in Japan was cracked by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and Hidemi Ozaki, a temporary adviser to the Japanese Guards Cabinet, was arrested.
In June 1942, the Japanese gendarmerie in Shanghai and Nanjing arrested Ozaki Kō and Ryūo Nishiri (in the 1930s, the three of them studied and operated at the same literary academy run by Japan in Shanghai, during which nakanishi Kō and Ryūo Nishi joined the Communist Party of China).
A month later, Li Desheng, Wang Jinyuan, and Chen Yifeng were also arrested, and they were all taken to Tokyo, Japan, for trial. Later, Sorge and Hideshi Ozaki were sentenced to death by the Tokyo District Court; Nakanishi and Ryūo Nishi were sentenced to death when Japan was about to surrender, but were not immediately executed, surviving; Lee Tokusei and Wang Jinyuan Chen Yifeng were sentenced to life imprisonment and released in 1945 during secret negotiations between the Japanese army and the New Fourth Army.
Fang Zhida, the party's underground traffic officer, arrived at Li Desheng and Chen Feng's residence one after another, only to learn that they had been arrested. Disguised as a small shopkeeper, he cleverly concealed the enemy's inquiry and quickly withdrew to Shanghai. The Nanjing Intelligence Group was forced to cease its activities.
How did Fang Zhida get out of danger? It turned out that one day in July 1942, Fang Zhida returned to Nanjing from Shanghai, and at about 9 o'clock the next day, he went to Li Desheng's house to report on his work, and as soon as he knocked on the door, he was detained by the plainclothes agents of the Japanese police and was also punched.
The agent pressed him: "Why did you come?" Fang Zhida said that he had come to see the doctor, and then took out from his pocket the Chinese medicine formula that he had already prepared with Li Desheng. Japanese agents searched his body, even his mouth.
At this time, the weather was very hot, and Fang Zhida was wearing a white imitation silk short top, dark imitation silk trousers, and a pair of cloth shoes, which was the standard Chinese citizen dress at that time.
The enemy searched and searched, but found nothing but an unblemished staff card, so he had to push him into Li Desheng's living room.
At that time, there were more than 10 sick-looking men, women and children sitting on the ground in the living room, the Japanese police were rummaging through boxes and cabinets searching, and Zhang Mingxian was escorted and stood at the door of the room, all of which showed that Li Desheng had been arrested. It took more than two hours to toss and turn before the group of demons took all of Li Desheng's books and notebooks with them. Before leaving, he shouted for a while: "Bastard! Roll me! ”
Fang Zhida rubbed to the end, and used gestures to Ask Zhang Mingxian if there was any secret agent ambush in the house, she shook her hand to show that there was no, and then whispered: "Li Desheng is arrested, we should immediately report to the Shanghai Organization" and asked her if she could leave. She said that her identity had been exposed and she might not be able to get out, so she urged Fang Zhida to leave here quickly.
Fang Zhida went out of Xiaohuowa Lane, so he went to inform Chen-Feng, and just after walking under the window of the Chen family, he heard the sad cries of women in the house, and he clearly knew that there was also an accident here. Therefore, Fang Zhida immediately returned to his secret residence, changed into another "good citizen certificate" that had been prepared long ago, put on glasses, disguised himself as a small shop owner, hurried to the Shimonoseki Railway Station, and withdrew to Shanghai by train.
In December 1942, the Intelligence Department of the Central China Bureau of the CPC Central Committee sent Baisha to Nanjing to restore the intelligence organization, along with Lu Yifeng, a person left behind after Li Desheng's arrest. Ruan Yuqi and others took over the relationship and continued to work until the victory of the War of Resistance.
