Chapter 36 4. My underground organization was destroyed by the enemy and some comrades were arrested

If you go deep into the enemy camp to do underground work, you are in danger of being arrested and beheaded at any time!Accompany the enemy like a tiger and wolf!Here are some warning words I often say.I also set some codes of conduct for myself: Be quiet like a virgin, move like a rabbit; be witty, brave, calm, and cautious.But the tree wants to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop.Under the white terror, our underground organization was still destroyed by the enemy, and some comrades were arrested! On October 10, 1947, in order to cope with the situation, we attended the "National Day Commemorative Meeting" held by the Kuomintang authorities.In the evening, Comrades Xing Guoyan and Wang Shunai came to my house to chat and saw them off around 10 o'clock.I was just falling asleep when the phone rang and woke me up.I picked up the phone and heard a familiar and hurried voice: Brother, Li Nian has been arrested!This is the voice of Comrade He Yingfen, Li Nian's lover.She is also an underground member of our party and is responsible for translating telegrams.I asked: Where was he arrested?She said: It was brought by a section chief of Xingyuan.I realized: this is not Li Nian's personal problem, but the underground organization has been destroyed!Because Xingyuan No. 2 belongs to the Kuomintang military reunification spy system.Putting down the phone, I thought: what should I do?Is it to escape?Or stick to the post and rescue comrades?If my name is on the blacklist, I will not be able to escape.If my name is not on the blacklist, I will not be arrested for rescuing comrades.Since you have entered the tiger's den, why be afraid of the tiger.I decided to stick to my post and rescue comrades.Before dawn, I went to Li Nian's house and met Comrade He Yingfen.She calmed down and told me about Li Nian's arrest. Section Chief Dong from Xingyuan in the Northeast brought another person. She said that Li Nian was invited to Xingyuan for a meeting; The section chief asked him to bring his luggage, so I had some doubts. When I sent Li Nian out, I saw two men with guns standing outside the door. I was sure that Li Nian had been arrested, so I called you.I asked: Did they take our documents and codebooks?She said: no.I asked again: Look, what was the cause of the accident?She said: Director Shen of the Northeast News Agency, who recently came to Shenyang from Xi'an, disappeared ten days ago, and the problem may lie with him.I said: In this way, Wang Shunai, the president of the Northeast News Agency (the organization that covers the underground radio station), may also be arrested.She went on to say: After I finished calling you, I called Brother Wang, and after a few words, the call was disconnected.I immediately dialed Wang Shunai's number, but still couldn't get through.I said to He Yingfen, check again carefully and burn all the confidential materials quickly to prevent the enemy from checking again.If the enemy can't get real evidence, the lawsuit will be easy to fight.After speaking, I went to Wang Shunai's house.

I walked to Wang Shunai's house, it was already dawn, and the house was quiet, only Wang Shunai's lover was at home.I asked: I called you, why can't I get through?She said: The phone was cut off, and Shunai was arrested; Deputy Director Zhang of the No. 2 Xingyuan Division brought people here, and Xing Guoyan (who lives next door to Wang Shunai's house) was also arrested.I asked, what documents did they take?She said: no.I went to Xing Guoyan's house, but there was no one in his house.I went home. After breakfast, I went to Xingyuan Staff Office to find Section Chief Zhang, who was my fellow from Shandong.I said: Li Nian, the second section chief of the political work department, is my classmate from Peking University. He was taken away by Dong, the second section chief, last night. His wife was very anxious.Ask me to find out on her behalf why Li Nian was arrested and where he is now; can you ask Section Chief Dong for help?Section Chief Zhang immediately called Section Chief Dong and discussed the matter.After the phone call, Section Chief Zhang told me: The case was handled by Peking, and Section Chief Dong was ordered to assist; the reason was that he was suspected of being a party member.The whereabouts are yet to be made public.

In order to find out the circumstances of Li Nian's arrest and see if I was in danger of being arrested, I inquired with relevant people.I went to visit an old friend, Director Hong.He said: I know about the arrest of Li Nian and others, but I don't know the reason.He said: Let's go to Xingyuan in the northeast to ask Director Cui.After meeting Director Cui and talking about Li Nian's arrest.Director Cui said: Acting director Chen (Cheng) was very angry when a case of the Communist Party came out in Xingyuan.Those of you who have been in contact with Li Nian in the past, you must be very careful in your words and deeds.After bidding farewell to Director Cui and walking on the road, I asked Director Hong: Do you think the matter may expand?Director Hong said: I know the director of the Supervision Department of Shenyang City (a special agent of the military reunification), so I will go and find out.

The third day after their arrest.Li Nian and the lovers of three comrades came to my house.I told them the news I got from various sources yesterday.They discussed with me how to rescue the three arrested comrades.I said: The three of them are all serving "military and political officers and soldiers." Li Nian is the section chief of the Northeast Xingyuan Political Work Office, Wang Shunai is the deputy director of the Information Department of the Shenyang Garrison Headquarters, and Xing Guoyan is the county magistrate of Changling County in Northern Liaoning Province. .You first visit the leaders of their original units separately to see their attitudes and use them as a reference for our rescue work.They agreed with my opinion and went to the leaders of the relevant units respectively.

I accompanied Comrade Wang Shunai's lover to see Chu Xichun, commander of the Shenyang Garrison.She said: Commander Chu, Shu Nai is the deputy director of the news department of the police headquarters. He goes to work every day and works hard. He was suddenly arrested. Why?Where are you betting?Commander Chu said, "Mrs. Wang, can you tell us about these things?" After a few days, I went to meet Li Nian and Xing Guoyan's lovers respectively, and asked them how their petitions were going.They said: No results, nothing solved.The three sisters-in-law gave me a simple but difficult task, asking me to try to find the place where the three arrested comrades were detained.They said: It's cold, find their place so that they can send them some food and clothing.After many efforts, I finally learned from the wife of a special agent where the three arrested comrades were detained: No. 81, Kunming Street, Shenyang City.This is the secret prison of the Kuomintang military organization in Shenyang.I told the lovers of the three arrested comrades about this location.Through them delivering meals and clothes to the arrested comrades, I learned that the three arrested comrades were all tortured.

One night, an acquaintance who came to Northeast China from Xi'an came to visit my house.I knew that he joined the KMT Central Unification Secret Service Organization, but he didn't know that I joined the Communist Party.He said: You, Li Nian and the other three have been in frequent contact. Now they are arrested on suspicion of being a communist party, and you are helping their family members rescue them. This is a political issue. If someone suspects you, you’d better leave them alone. thing.I said: When making friends, you must pay attention to morality.You, me, Li, Wang, and Xing all came to Northeast China from Xi'an to work. We are all "friends".Even if the court finds out that they are members of the Communist Party and shoots them, we should help their families buy coffins and collect their bodies.The courts will not arrest us for this.He didn't like what I said, so he left.

In the past, I made an agreement with Zhao Yaobin that he would send me a copy of "Xinqin Daily" run by the Xi'an Intelligence Organization every day; as a daily contact signal.I have not received this newspaper since Li Nian and others were arrested.I wonder if the Xi'an underground intelligence organization has also been destroyed?But I dare not write to inquire. One day Director Hong came to my house, and I asked this question.He said: According to a person in Xi'an, Zhao Yaobin was arrested, and the research bookstore and "Xinqin Daily" were investigated by the Kuomintang.Director Hong said again: He went to the Shenyang City Inspector's Office to ask.The Chief Inspector said: Li Nian's case was handled by Peking. Once it is over, it will be over and it will not expand.The chief inspector also said: He knows that you are an old subordinate of General Cheng Qian, and he will not suspect you just because you have contacts with Li Nian.From then on I was relieved.

Around New Year’s Day in 1948, a family member of a comrade who was arrested told me: She went to deliver things, but the guards in the prison refused to accept them, and said that she should not deliver things in the future.She was a little scared, fearing that her relatives would be executed.I said: No way; if executed, the prison will notify the family members.I went to ask the spy's wife again.She said: "I haven't heard of any executions in prisons recently, and she doesn't know about Li Nian and others."I have been worried about the situation of the three arrested comrades. ——In mid-January, Comrade He Yingfen told me: She had received a letter from Li Nian; it said that the people they arrested had been sent to Nanjing by plane by the Kuomintang.I just found out that they are indeed still alive in the world, and I'm glad for them!

The underground organization and the radio station were destroyed by the enemy, and the intelligence could not be sent out; the comrades in distress were transferred to Nanjing, and there was no rescue work to be done in Shenyang.I want to leave Shenyang and return to Peiping.But I thought again, our party is in the Northeast, and already has two-thirds of the world, and the liberation of Shenyang is just around the corner.I stay in Shenyang, although I can't do intelligence work, I can still use my old social relationship to do other work that is beneficial to the revolution.After Shenyang was liberated, I was able to contact the party organization.So I decided to stay in Shenyang.
