In December 1940, Guizhou Dushan Military Academy conducted a "technical test", and 19-year-old Guangdong youth Yang Yingbin won the first place in the 23 Corps, more than 1,000 people, which made him attract much attention, and Yang Yingbin himself was also complacent.
Before entering the military academy, he was still a little worried, because he was only 1.55 meters tall, and he had been playing for a long time and his physique was weak, he was worried that he would not be able to withstand the trials and turns of the military academy, who expected that in just 7 months, he would be "reborn" and get ahead in the military academy.
With this dazzling achievement, Yang Yingbin believes that he can climb faster in the Kuomintang ranks, and the reason why he wants to climb up is not because Yang Yingbin is addicted to officials, but because he is a red agent, and he can only play a role if he really penetrates into the enemy's army!
Yang Yingbin, a native of Dapu County, Guangdong, was born in a poor peasant family, talented, diligent and studious, when he was 12 years old, he wrote a book "The Travels of Mr. Xiao", telling the story of his journey from Dapu County and his classmates to Shanghai to find Tao Xingzhi.
As soon as this book came out, it immediately caused a sensation, and it didn't take long for it to be reprinted 12 times, with more than 2,000 copies each time, and because the content was too real, it was once listed as a "banned book" by the Kuomintang.
With this book, Yang Yingbin, a teenager from the mountainous area, broke into the left-wing cultural circle in one fell swoop, and was carefully cultivated by Tao Xingzhi and others.
In Shanghai, Yang Yingbin participated in the Left League and the Anti-Japanese Salvation, because of his progressive thinking and active mind, he joined the Communist Party at the age of 14, and at the age of 16 he entered the "Special Branch of the Communist Party of China" led by Zhou Enlai himself.
In July 1937, when the war of aggression against China broke out, Zhang Fakui, then commander-in-chief of the Right Wing Army and commander-in-chief of the Eighth Group on the Songhu battlefield, invited Guo Moruo to help him set up a "field service team" in order to improve the morale of the army.
At that time, Guo Moruo was already a celebrity in the cultural circle, and as soon as he raised his arms, dozens of writers, musicians, and dramatists joined Zhang Fakui's team.
Of course, red agents are indispensable among them, 16-year-old Yang Yingbin is one of them, and his immediate boss is named Zuo Hongtao.
In Zhang Fakui's team, Yang Yingbin successively participated in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Wuhan, and in order to call on more people to participate in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Yang Yingbin and others, who were engaged in literary and artistic work, often went deep into the masses to perform anti-Japanese programs.
In addition, another important task of theirs is to subtly influence Zhang Fakui and the officers and men in his army.
They skillfully integrated the Communist Party's anti-Japanese stand into Zhang Fakui's speeches and articles, and also actively communicated with the soldiers in Zhang Fakui's army, changing their thinking little by little.
At the end of 1938, Zhang Fakui was transferred to the commander of the Fourth Theater of Operations, and the "Field Service Corps" was disbanded, but the red agents led by Zuo Hongtao remained in Zhang Fakui's troops.
Zuo Hongtao served as the secretary of the Governor's Department, and Yang Yingbin and the rest of the members worked in the guard battalion of the Governor's Department, all around Zhang Fakui.
10 or so people, if they want to do something big in Zhang Fakui's department, of course it is impossible, their task is to lurk for a long time and slowly enter the core department.
So, in Zuo Hongtao's operation, in May 1940, Zhang Fakui himself personally escorted Yang Yingbin to the Dushan Military Academy in Guizhou for further study, which led to the beginning of the article.
The person personally escorted by Zhang Fakui won the first place in the competition of the military school, if Zhang Fakui knew, he would definitely be happy, wouldn't he?
As a result, before the good news reached Zhang Fakui's ears, Yang Yingbin had an accident, because he met three teammates who did not pay attention to "rules", they were Wang Dongruo, Zheng Tishi and Guo Bichang.
After Yang Yingbin achieved good results, the three of them wrote letters to Yang Yingbin one after another, using words such as "the poor children of the Paris Commune" and "the seeds you sowed".
Unfortunately, the letter of these three people was intercepted by the Dushan Military Academy, and as soon as the content of the letter was read, some people suspected the identity of Yang Yingbin, at that time, although the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated for the second time, the second anti-communist upsurge had already begun, and soon, Yang Yingbin was secretly arrested by the Military Academy.
After being arrested, Yang Yingbin did not panic, and in the face of the interrogation of the Kuomintang anti-communists for more than ten days in a row, he responded calmly and calmly, and did not miss a single flaw, but those people refused to give up, and they vowed to ask something from Yang Yingbin's mouth.
As time passed, the patience of the interrogators gradually ran out, and they had the mentality that they would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one, and reported to their superiors that they wanted to execute Yang Yingbin.
And Yang Yingbin also realized this, how to save himself has become a difficult problem in front of him, he was secretly detained, and the comrades didn't know about it at all!
Fortunately, Yang Yingbin is very popular in Dushan Military Academy, he has a classmate named Peng Lang, who has a good relationship with Yang Yingbin, and has also shown sympathy for the revolution in conversations, so Yang Yingbin decided to ask him for help.
He wrote a letter in Chinese-Latin and asked Peng Lang to smuggle it out and give it to his girlfriend and contact, Deng Liya.
Deng Liya is a native of Lingdian Town, Haimen County, Jiangsu Province, 2 years older than Yang Yingbin.
When Deng Liya was born, her mother died of hemorrhage, and her father died of illness when she was 8 years old, leaving her to rely on her elderly grandmother, in 1931, 12-year-old Deng Liya had taken refuge in Shanghai to study in Shanghai
In 1936, 17-year-old Deng Liya was admitted to Tianjin Women's Normal School, during this time, her grandmother passed away, and in 1937, Deng Liya was admitted to Peking University with excellent results.
Unfortunately, not long after entering school, the war of aggression against China broke out, and as an aspiring young woman, she refused the opportunity to study in the United States, and resolutely returned to Shanghai, where the artillery was under fire, and participated in the revolution.
Not long after arriving in Shanghai, she heard the bad news that her stepmother and younger brother in her hometown were killed by a Japanese plane!
In January 1938, Deng Liya also joined Zhang Fakui's "Field Service Group", where she met and fell in love with Yang Yingbin and became close comrades-in-arms.
Although they are lovers, the two have made an appointment that they will never get married until the day of the victory of the anti-Japanese war!
Compared with Yang Yingbin, Deng Liya joined the party very late, and it was only in 1940 when she entered Liulin, Guangxi with Zhang Fakui's troops, that she became a party member, and used her identity as an instructor and teacher of a children's theater troupe in Liuzhou to promote progressive books and periodicals and propagate progressive ideas.
At the same time, she is also the only person who can have direct contact with Yang Yingbin, who is in Dushan Military Academy, according to the regulations of the organization.
After receiving the secret letter sent by Yang Yingbin, Deng Liya panicked, she immediately found Zuo Hongtao and asked him to find a way to save people!
Seeing Yang Yingbin's letter for help, Zuo Hongtao began to think about how to get Yang Yingbin out of trouble, and after thinking about it, he found that only Zhang Fakui could save Yang Yingbin!
But how can Zhang Fakui save Yang Yingbin? Soon, Zuo Hongtao had an idea, and he decided to make a fuss about Yang Yingbin's first place in the exam.
After seeing Zhang Fakui, Zuo Hongtao talked to him about things, and then pretended to be careless and told Zhang Fakui about Yang Yingbin's first place in the school.
Sure enough, Zhang Fakui felt very embarrassed after hearing this, and he laughed happily, he decided to write a letter to praise Yang Yingbin, and at the same time write a letter to Han Hanying, who was his subordinate in Dushan Military Academy and served as the director of the military academy, so that Yang Yingbin could be trained well.
Zhang Fakui naturally didn't have to write a letter for such a trivial matter, so he handed over the matter to Zuo Hongtao, who was overjoyed when he heard it.
When writing a letter to Han Hanying, Zuo Hongtao was rigorous in his wording, and urged Yang Yingbin to be young and promising, hoping that he would take more care and training.
When he wrote a letter to Yang Yingbin, he used the tone of the elders to speak to the juniors, teaching him to study diligently and have an unlimited future in the future.
Zuo Hongtao's letter was very well written, and Zhang Fakui was very satisfied after reading it, and signed his name at the end of the letter.
After receiving the letter, Han Hanying was stunned, this Yang Yingbin is a celebrity next to Zhang Fakui......? It may also be Zhang Fakui's junior, killing him so quietly, it will definitely not work!
And those anti-communists, after seeing these two letters, did not dare to make another attempt, where can they afford to provoke Zhang Fakui?
So, Yang Yingbin was released, but he was monitored and suspected at the Dushan Military Academy until 1942, when Yang Yingbin left the military academy and returned to Zhang Fakui's troops.
After returning to Zhang Fakui's department, Yang Yingbin was reused and appointed as the commander of the machine gun company of the guard regiment, and he began to teach the soldiers how to use heavy weapons, and also gave them political lessons, talking about the domestic and foreign situation, about unity and resistance, about protracted warfare, about anti-fascism, and so on.
His move aroused the suspicion of the diehards in Zhang Fakui's army, and he went to Zhang Fakui to complain, Zhang Fakui heard this, and laughed: "He has been fighting on the battlefield with me since he was a child, what is so terrible?"
In order to make Yang Yingbin go to a higher level, in the winter of 1943, Zhang Fakui sent him to study in the Southwest Staff Class of Guilin Army University, and it was not until August 1944 that he returned from his studies and served as a staff officer in the Operations Section of Zhang Fakui's Staff Office.
At this time, Yang Yingbin finally began to show his role, he really began to contact the core of this team, and he sent the inside story he learned to the Southern Bureau of the Communist Party of China little by little through Zuo Hongtao.
The contradictions between Jiang and Gui and Chen Cheng and He Yingqin can be said to be very detailed, and this has provided great help for our side in carrying out united front work in the southwest.
In August 1945, when Japan surrendered, Zuo Hongtao, Yang Yingbin and others were overjoyed, and they sent a report to the organization, hoping to return to the Soviet area, but the organization believed that they had a greater role in staying in Zhang Fakui's department, and did not agree.
At the end of 1945, Zuo Hongtao, Yang Yingbin, and Deng Liya followed Zhang Fakui to Guangzhou.
At that time, he served as an operational staff officer in the staff department of the military core organ of the Guangzhou camp, and in order to better lurk, he decided to marry his girlfriend Deng Liya, who had been in love for many years.
The reason why he wanted to get married was to take this opportunity to "show his muscles" and show his connections within the Kuomintang, so that the Kuomintang reactionaries would be jealous.
This wedding was huge, and they not only invited Zhang Fakui to be a witness, but also invited more than 200 high-ranking Kuomintang officials to attend the wedding.
When he went to invite Zhang Fakui, Zhang Fakui asked them a heart-wrenching question: "Are you a communist?"
These words scared Yang Yingbin and Deng Liya a lot, but what they didn't expect was that Zhang Fakui continued: "If yes, you can get married, if not, you can also get married, the most afraid of one is, one is not, one will be a widower or one will be a widow in the future." ”。
Why did Zhang Fakui say this? It turned out that he didn't care at all whether there was a Communist Party in his ranks.
Long before the first split between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, there were many Communists in his ranks, such as He Long, Liu Bocheng, Nie Rongzhen, Chen Yi, Zhu De, Lin Biao, Ye Jianying, Xu Xiangqian and others, all of whom were his subordinates.
During the Nanchang Uprising, he did not pursue the rebel troops, and when he later encircled and suppressed the Red Army, he also responded passively, and did not fight if he could, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhang Fakui devoted all his energy to resisting Japan, as for who was in the team, he didn't care, as long as it was helpful to fight against Japan, he could use it.
The reason why he asked Yang Yingbin if the two were communists was because he was afraid that they did not belong to the same camp and would kill each other!
has been by Zhang Fakui's side for nearly 10 years, Yang Yingbin and Deng Liya certainly know what kind of person Zhang Fakui is, but they did not tell the truth, but said haha: "We have been with you for so many years, you know best who it is, we are not!"
Hearing this, Zhang Fakui laughed and said: "It's good if it's not, it's good if it's not!"
Sure enough, after Zhang Fakui officiated at their wedding, no one dared to doubt Yang Yingbin's identity anymore.
In January 1946, Yang Yingbin overheard a conversation between the spy officers of the General Staff, saying that he had planted spies in our Dongjiang Column.
Immediately afterwards, when he was sorting out the information, he found a secret order issued by Chiang Kai-shek to Zhang Fakui, asking Zhang Fakui to gather and annihilate the Dongjiang column, and he immediately handed over this information to Zuo Hongtao and asked him to pass it on.
It was precisely because of Yang Yingbin's intelligence that more than 2,500 backbone members and their families of the Dongjiang Column retreated north, but because of this, the identities of him and his wife Deng Liya were suspected by Zhang Fakui.
However, Zhang Fakui did not trouble them, but sent people to warn them: "If you have communist ideology, we can't control it, and you can't take action! If you take action, party discipline, state law, and military discipline will all sanction you." ”。
From this point, it is enough to see that Zhang Fakui is tolerant of the Communists.
Although they were under suspicion, Yang Yingbin and Deng Liya did not evacuate, they continued to lurk, and after the Liberation War began, their superior Zuo Hongtao also evacuated, leaving them to continue to collect intelligence.
In the summer of 1947, the situation became even more severe, and after the consent of the conscription organization, Yang Yingbin and Deng Liya also left the camp in Guangdong under the pretext of sending their relatives home.
After leaving, they moved to Hong Kong and came to the 100,000 Mountains and Leizhou Peninsula to participate in the revolution, and in September 1949, when Guangzhou was liberated, Yang Yingbin began to participate in the takeover of Guangzhou.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Yang Yingbin and his wife stayed in Guangzhou to work.
Yang Yingbin successively served as deputy secretary general of the Guangzhou Military Control Commission, director of the General Office of the Guangdong Provincial People's Government, deputy secretary general of the CPC Guangdong Provincial Committee, member of the Standing Committee and secretary general of the CPC Guangdong Provincial Committee, and vice chairman and secretary of the leading party group of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
Deng Liya, who was born in Tsinghua University, is not bad, and has successively served as deputy secretary general of the Guangzhou Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, member of the Guangzhou Municipal Advisory Committee, and first deputy secretary of the Provisional Party Committee of Guangzhou Municipal Organs.
Unfortunately, during the catastrophe, Yang Yingbin and his wife suffered for 6 years.
In 2013, Deng Liya passed away at the age of 95, and two years later, Yang Yingbin also died at the age of 94......
