Shortly after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1945, one morning, the Chongqing office of the Eighth Route Army suddenly broke into a young man and named a communist delegation to lead him, named Zhao Liangzhang, a staff officer of the Kuomintang Air Force. Zhao Liangzhang, who was full of ideals of saving the country and striving to strengthen the country, was extremely indignant at the Kuomintang's passive resistance at that time, and the purpose of this trip was to demand that he join the Communist Party of China and rush to the liberated areas. After the office investigated Zhao Liangzhang, it decided to recruit him into the organization. Given that the Chengdu Air Force did not yet have an underground CCP organization, the party organization hoped that Zhao Liangzhang would return to lurking. Although Zhao Liangzhang was bent on the liberated areas and knew the dangers lurking, he accepted the task without hesitation for the cause of liberation. After he returned, he wrote down more than 20,000 words of the "Overview of the Kuomintang Air Force" and handed it to the organization.
In early 1946, Zhao Liangzhang was transferred to Beiping and served as a staff officer in the General Affairs Section of the Headquarters of the Second Army of the Kuomintang Air Force, which was an idle post and could not collect more valuable intelligence. In order to be able to be transferred to the intelligence section of the core department, Zhao Liangzhang went up and down to dot and dredge up relations, and a few days later, a paper transfer order was issued, and Zhao Liangzhang became a staff officer of the intelligence section as he wished. There are many staff officers in the intelligence section, each responsible for a piece of business, others are not good at interfering, if you inquire around, it is easy to expose your identity, Zhao Liangzhang secretly observed, found that there is a post that can obtain important information at the first time, that is, secret electricity compilation and sending. This is a boring and often overtime post, other officers are afraid to avoid it, which is exactly in zhao Liangzhang's heart, he took the initiative to ask for help, and naturally obtained this job.
In the second half of 1946, the Kuomintang-Communist Civil War broke out in an all-round way, and the armies of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China fought fiercely in the Central Plains, and the Kuomintang relied on its air superiority to carry out reconnaissance and air raids on the Liberated Areas, which was extremely harmful to the People's Liberation Army. In order to keep it secret, the Kuomintang Air Force changed a set of passwords every once in a while, and Zhao Liangzhang often flew to Nanjing to retrieve the new codebook. As soon as he returned to Beiping, he went into the secret electric room, often working overtime all night, never letting people disturb. In the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Liangzhang is a "fool" who is bent on his work, in fact, he secretly copied the codebook in the newspaper, and then took the newspaper out in a briefcase and handed it to the underground organization. In this way, some of the air force's secret telegrams intercepted by the CCP's underground organizations can be deciphered. Because of Zhao Liangzhang's fruitful intelligence work, the operational deployment of the air force in the Peiping area, and the intelligence on the reconnaissance of air raids in the Liberated Areas, a considerable part of them were mastered by the party organizations, which minimized the impact of air raids on the Liberated Areas. Some secret information has not yet been received by the Nanjing side, and Yan'an is already well known. Zhao Liangzhang, like a hawk's eye, guarded the Liberated Areas for early warning.
On October 1, 1947, a group of Kuomintang military police suddenly broke into Zhao Liangzhang's home in Beiping and searched for Zhao Liangzhang, but they pounced on a void, because of the betrayal of traitors, the underground party organization in Beiping was destroyed, the military and police were searching for the underground party according to the list, and Zhao Liangzhang's name was also prominently listed. His wife Jiang Pingzhong was anxious, she did not know Zhao Liangzhang's underground party identity, nor did she know where Zhao Liangzhang was, in order to save her husband, in a hurry, she went to the telegraph office to shoot three telegrams in a row, sent to Nanjing and Shanghai, the telegram wrote: There is nothing to do at home, there is no need to come back. Unfortunately, Zhao Liangzhang did not receive these 100,000 urgent life-saving telegrams.
At this time, Zhao Liangzhang, who was in Nanjing, did not know that the danger was approaching step by step, and two days later, when he learned that the Kuomintang military police were arresting him everywhere, Zhao Liangzhang chose to take the risk of reporting to other members of the intelligence group at the first time, missing the best time to escape, and on the afternoon of October 4, Zhao Liangzhang was arrested at the entrance of the hostel.
In the Nanjing Central Military Prison, Zhao Liangzhang faced severe torture and preferred to die. In order to save the other comrades who were arrested together, Zhao Liangzhang carried all the charges.
This song "If I Sacrifice for the Truth" is a revolutionary song written by Zhao Liangzhang, who led his fellow prisoners to sing this song in prison to boost morale and wage a resolute struggle against the enemy.
In September 1948, the Liaoshen Campaign began, and the People's Liberation Army launched a strategic decisive battle. The Kuomintang was desperate and even more vicious against the imprisoned Communists. In the early morning of October 19, Zhao Liangzhang died heroically at the age of 27. Before his execution, he left such a masterpiece.
"I am righteous with courage and faith. Although I fell, my tenacious character still made my spirit never perish. ”
