For a long time, many people thought that the agents of the Central Command and the Military Command could only collect intelligence and establish intelligence networks at home, but they did not know that one person had first established his own intelligence network in Japan and collected a large amount of important intelligence. Although he was a Kuomintang member, the Chinese Communist Party posthumously awarded him a revolutionary martyr. He is Yi Zuoheng.
Speaking of which, after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the intelligence networks established by the military and the central government in the occupied areas were the most dense in Shanghai and Beiping. The establishment of the northeast region was the most difficult, because the northeast fell as early as 1931, and many people embraced the idea of obedience and honestly became slaves of the puppet state of Manchukuo. Therefore, mobilizing the masses is the most difficult and the most dangerous.
After graduating from university in 1938, yi Zuoheng, who was only 23 years old, joined the central government and began to operate the intelligence network of the central government in the northeast. However, it's easier said than done! The entire intelligence system of the nationalist army that remained in the northeast was completely withdrawn to Kannai as early as the 918 incident and was completely paralyzed. In order to establish his own intelligence network, Yi Zuoheng repeatedly risked dealing with the three religions and nine streams, and was also arrested and imprisoned many times. Fortunately, someone rescued him, so that he could get out of danger.
After his release from prison, he came to Japan, under the pretext of studying abroad, to recruit international students in Japan and spy on the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the military. In Yokohama, Osaka and other places, they established their own spy agencies, collected a lot of useful intelligence, and made no small contribution to the domestic war of resistance. The Japanese also repeatedly tried to find this agent who was lurking so deeply in Japan, but several times failed.
Soon after, Yi Zuoheng returned to the northeast again, and the situation in the northeast was even worse at this time. The Pacific War had broken out, and in order to establish the northeast as a solid rear, the Japanese and the puppet state of Manchukuo were doing nothing wrong. Regardless of the Kuomintang, most of the active agents were arrested. Yi Zuoheng returned to the northeast in order to rebuild the institutions of the central unification of the northeast. But after several actions, he was unfortunately arrested and imprisoned.
In prison, Yi Zuoheng still did not give up the struggle: teaching his fellow prisoners to sing "Marseillaise", the salvation song, and writing articles to attack the Japanese, caused quite a stir in prison. The Japanese took him to confront his comrades-in-arms, who preferred to be tortured to say a word. Finally, the puppet Manchukuo court betrayed him as treason. Hearing this accusation, Yi Zuoheng laughed: My country is China, why should I betray China?
In the end, he was heroic and righteous. After the founding of New China, he was also posthumously awarded as a martyr by our party, expressing his respect for him.
