What kind of story is hidden behind this sentence? Why did Han Liancheng, Chiang Kai-shek's most effective general, finally betray Chiang Kai-shek and defect to the Communist Party? And what role did his wife Wang Ping play? Why was she praised by Li Kenong for being "deeply hidden"? An ordinary military family is closely linked to the revolutionary cause, and there must be many twists and turns and bizarre details hidden in this. Let's take a closer look at this magnificent history and discover the truth of the story hidden beneath the surface.
Han Liancheng's relationship with Chiang Kai-shek
In 1925, Han Liancheng, who was from a poor family, joined the officer training team of Ma Hongkui's department and started his military career. At that time, the officer training team was under the command of Feng Yuxiang, and soon after Feng Yuxiang broke with Chiang Kai-shek, Ma Hongkui was taken under Chiang Kai-shek, so Han Liancheng was also a member of Chiang Kai-shek's army.
One day in April 1926, Feng Yuxiang ordered people to surround Chiang Kai-shek's train in an attempt to get rid of this henchman. At the moment of crisis, Ma Hongkui immediately ordered Han Liancheng to lead his troops to the rescue. After a night of fierce fighting, Han Liancheng finally repelled Feng Yuxiang's troops and rescued Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek, who survived the disaster, repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Han Liancheng and asked him which Whampoa Military Academy he was a student of.
Han Liancheng, who was born in poverty, had never received formal military education, and he was speechless for a while. After Chiang Kai-shek learned the truth, he specially ordered the Whampoa Military Academy to list Han Liancheng as the third batch of cadets, and Han Liancheng left an excellent impression in Chiang Kai-shek's mind. With the grace of saving his life first, Chiang Kai-shek trusted Han Liancheng, and soon reused it and allowed him to enter the special class of the Army University for further study.
Since then, Han Liancheng has risen all the way, and has established outstanding military exploits in key battles many times, which has won the appreciation of Chiang Kai-shek. After the Battle of Laiwu in 1947, Han Liancheng decided to return to the Kuomintang army to secretly work for the Communist Party. However, there were endless doubts about him within the Kuomintang, and Du Yuming and others repeatedly explained to Chiang Kai-shek the unusual things about Han Liancheng, but Chiang Kai-shek firmly believed that this was a personal grudge between them, and did not have the slightest suspicion of Han Liancheng.
In 1949, Han Liancheng and his family arrived in Xibaipo, the central liberated area, and at the same time, the conclusive evidence of his "collusion with the Communist Party" was also presented to Chiang Kai-shek. Faced with all this, Chiang Kai-shek was furious, and he still did not want to believe that his most trusted confidant would betray him. He preferred to believe that He Yingqin and others forced away the loyal Han Liancheng, so he reprimanded his subordinates, but it didn't help.
Looking at the relationship between Han Liancheng and Chiang Kai-shek, it can be described as a good story. An ordinary petty officer, with his enthusiasm and courage, won Chiang Kai-shek's appreciation and trust, and rose all the way, and Chiang Kai-shek's trust in him continued until the last moment. Until they parted ways, Chiang Kai-shek still regarded Han Lian as a loyal subordinate and did not want to believe that he would betray him. This teacher-student friendship is destined to go down in history and become a moving episode in the revolutionary era.
Wang Ping's important role in underground work
In 1942, Han Liancheng met with Zhou Enlai and resolutely joined the Communist Party of China and became an underground worker. From then on, his wife, Wang Ping, fully supported her husband's decision, providing important assistance to Han Liancheng's secret work within the KMT.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Wang Ping covered for her husband many times, so that he could smoothly connect and transmit important information. Once, a Kuomintang spy suspected that Han Liancheng was suspected of "colluding with the Communist Party" and came to Wang's house for interrogation. Wang Ping immediately made a decision and forged the identity of "Wang Zhongjie", claiming that he was the son of the late Wang Hanqing and the nephew of Han Liancheng.
This "Wang Zhongjie" is actually Zhang Baoxiang, an underground worker sent by our party, who was in charge of keeping in touch with Han Liancheng when he had been lurking in Han's house for a long time. Wang Ping not only arranged a reasonable identity for him, but also treated him as a nephew, which made the Kuomintang spies completely let down their guard. In this way, Zhang Baoxiang lived in the Han family for more than two years and collected a lot of valuable information for our party.
After the Battle of Laiwu in 1947, Han Liancheng decided to return to the Kuomintang army and secretly serve our party. However, at this time, there were many doubts about him within the Kuomintang, and the risk of returning was extremely high. In order to cover up people's eyes, our party sent Zhang Baoxiang, an experienced underground worker, to accompany him, and Wang Ping once again arranged for him to be "Wang Zhongjie."
In this year, the Kuomintang military commanders conducted a months-long secret surveillance of the Han family, trying to find clues of "traitors". However, Wang Ping was careful everywhere and took good care of Zhang Baoxiang in every way, and even the closest family members did not find anything abnormal, which can be described as "deeply hidden". It was with Wang Ping's careful cover that Han Liancheng was able to lurk safely in the heavy encirclement of the Kuomintang.
In 1949, under the careful arrangement of our party, Han Liancheng's family of three finally successfully escaped from Nanjing and arrived in Xibaipo, the Central Liberated Area. Shortly thereafter, conclusive evidence of Han Liancheng's "collaboration with the Communists" was also presented to Chiang Kai-shek. Faced with all this, Chiang Kai-shek was furious and scolded his subordinates for forcing away the loyal Han Liancheng, but to no avail.
Looking at Wang Ping's performance in her husband's underground work, although she did not personally participate in the revolution, she was an important helper for Han Liancheng to hide her identity for a long time and serve the revolutionary cause. As Li Kenong said, "I didn't expect the seventh sister-in-law to hide deeply", Wang Ping used her wisdom and courage to help her husband and escort the revolution, and made indelible contributions.
Han Liancheng's determination and process of defection
In 1942, through Zhou Enlai's introduction, Han Liancheng joined the underground organization of the Communist Party of China and became an underground worker. From then on, he began to secretly work for our party within the Kuomintang.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Han Liancheng repeatedly asked Chiang Kai-shek to let him participate in the anti-Japanese battlefield, but he was refused. Chiang Kai-shek adhered to the principle of "settling the inside before attacking the outside" and treated the Communists and patriots very cruelly, which made Han Liancheng more and more dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's approach.
In February 1947, after the Battle of Laiwu began, Han Liancheng, then commander of the 46th Army of the Kuomintang, withdrew his troops from their positions in a planned manner in accordance with the instructions of Zhou Enlai and Dong Biwu, creating conditions for our army to achieve a great victory in Laiwu. After the battle, Han Liancheng returned to the Kuomintang army as planned to work secretly for our party.
At this time, there were already many doubts about Han Liancheng within the Kuomintang, and the risk of going back was extremely high. In order to cover up people's eyes, our party sent Zhang Baoxiang, an experienced underground worker, to accompany him, and Wang Ping once again arranged for him to be "Wang Zhongjie". In this way, Zhang Baoxiang lived in the Han family for more than two years and collected a lot of valuable information for our party.
At the end of 1947, the Kuomintang military agents conducted a months-long secret surveillance of the Han family, trying to find clues of "traitors" from it. However, Wang Ping was careful everywhere and took good care of Zhang Baoxiang in every way, and even the closest family members did not find anything abnormal, which can be described as "deeply hidden". It was with Wang Ping's careful cover that Han Liancheng was able to lurk safely in the heavy encirclement of the Kuomintang.
In 1949, under the careful arrangement of our party, Han Liancheng's family of three finally successfully escaped from Nanjing and arrived in Xibaipo, the Central Liberated Area. Shortly thereafter, conclusive evidence of Han Liancheng's "collaboration with the Communists" was also presented to Chiang Kai-shek. Faced with all this, Chiang Kai-shek was furious and scolded his subordinates for forcing away the loyal Han Liancheng, but to no avail.
Throughout Han Liancheng's defection process, he did not hesitate to betray his former superiors and comrades-in-arms for the sake of revolutionary ideals, and finally succeeded in escaping from prison after many years of lurking. This embodies his firm belief in the communist cause, and also reflects his extraordinary wisdom and courage. It is with undercover heroes like Han Liancheng that we can finally achieve the victory of the revolution.
Chiang Kai-shek's reluctance and anger towards Han Liancheng
In 1949, Han Liancheng and his family arrived in Xibaipo, the central liberated area, and at the same time, the conclusive evidence of his "collusion with the Communist Party" was also presented to Chiang Kai-shek. Faced with all this, Chiang Kai-shek was furious, and he still did not want to believe that his most trusted confidant would betray him.
Chiang Kai-shek's trust in Han Liancheng stemmed from an experience in 1926. At that time, Feng Yuxiang ordered people to surround the train that Chiang Kai-shek was riding, in an attempt to get rid of this confidant. At the moment of crisis, Ma Hongkui immediately ordered Han Liancheng to lead his troops to the rescue. After a night of fierce fighting, Han Liancheng finally repelled Feng Yuxiang's troops and rescued Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek, who survived the disaster, repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Han Liancheng and specially listed him as the third cadet of the Whampoa Military Academy, and Han Liancheng left an excellent impression in Chiang Kai-shek's mind.
Since then, Han Liancheng has risen all the way, and has established outstanding military exploits in key battles many times, which has won the appreciation of Chiang Kai-shek. After the Battle of Laiwu in 1947, Han Liancheng decided to return to the Kuomintang army to secretly work for the Communist Party. However, there were endless doubts about him within the Kuomintang, and Du Yuming and others repeatedly explained to Chiang Kai-shek the unusual things about Han Liancheng, but Chiang Kai-shek firmly believed that this was a personal grudge between them, and did not have the slightest suspicion of Han Liancheng.
It was not until 1949 that the conclusive evidence of Han Liancheng's "communism" was presented to Chiang Kai-shek, and in the face of all this, Chiang Kai-shek was furious. He still didn't want to believe that his most trusted henchman would betray him, and he preferred to believe that He Yingqin and others forced away the loyal Han Liancheng, so he reprimanded his subordinates, but it didn't help.
Chiang Kai-shek's reluctance to Han Liancheng stemmed from the teacher-student friendship between them. An ordinary petty officer, with his enthusiasm and courage, won the appreciation and trust of Chiang Kai-shek, and rose all the way. And Chiang Kai-shek's trust in him also lasted until the last moment. Until they parted ways, Chiang Kai-shek still regarded Han Lian as a loyal subordinate and did not want to believe that he would betray him.
Chiang Kai-shek's anger at Han Liancheng stemmed from his accusations against his subordinates. In Chiang Kai-shek's view, it was the small actions of He Yingqin and others that led to Han Liancheng's departure. He denounced his subordinates, believing that they had forced away his beloved loyal ministers, but in fact Han Liancheng had already joined the Communist Party, and he chose it out of ideals and beliefs.
end
This teacher-student friendship is destined to go down in history and become a moving episode in the revolutionary era. On the one hand, the firm belief in the revolutionary cause, and on the other hand, the blind trust in the subordinates, eventually led to an irreparable rupture. This interweaving of contradictions is a vivid portrayal of that turbulent era.
