On May 27, 1949, on this day, the People's Liberation Army Shanghai Military Control Commission representative Gu Zhuan was handing over work with colleagues Xie Zhuke and Zhu Ruyan at the Shanghai Finance Bureau and officials of the old regime.
What happened next will shock him.
Korean Party’s pseudo-Shanghai Finance Bureau Director Wang Weiheng asked to talk to him alone, and Gu Zhun had already known this person. KMT Army Major General rank , From a landlord family, Chen ChengConfidence , what should he say to himself?
After entering the office, he closed the door, and Wang Weiheng whispered to Gu Zhun: "I am also a party member. I joined the party in 1924. There are some things you can ask Pan Hannian "
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Zhun was shocked. The Kuomintang army major general in front of him was actually longer in party age than himself!
Who is Wang Weiheng? What kind of secrets are there behind him?
1896, Wang Weiheng was born in a dilapidated landlord family in Wangjia Village, Paitou Town, Zhuji County, Zhejiang Province. In 1918, Wang Weiheng left his hometown to go to Shanghai to pursue new ideas and learn new knowledge. In Shanghai, he was admitted to the Shanghai French Translation School.
At that time, China was in troubled internally and externally, and the turbulent situation was in Shanghai and received a large amount of current affairs information. He couldn't help but be deeply worried about the future of the country and the nation. Over time, he felt that just learning a foreign language might allow him to live a stable life, but it would help the country and the nation too little and too slow.
1919, Wang Weiheng decisively joined the army and was admitted to the Beijing Military Commander Officer School. In 1921, Wang Weiheng graduated and returned to Cixi, Zhejiang to join the army. Among the Zhejiang Army, he served as the battalion and regiment chief officer.
During this period of the Zhejiang Army, Wang Weiheng came into contact with the Communists Zhang Qiuren . The two had close relationships and frequent communication. Under the influence of Zhang Qiuren, Wang Weiheng's thoughts were getting better and better.
1924, Wang Weiheng and four others officially joined the party in Shanghai under the introduction of Zhang Qiuren. and these 4 people are the earliest 4 party members in Ningbo area.
1925, under the background of the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Wang Weiheng joined the Kuomintang through the party.
1926, the Zhejiang Army revolted, but was defeated by Beiyang Army . When the army retreated, Wang Weiheng left the Zhejiang Army and returned to his hometown Zhuji . After that, as the Kuomintang’s party affairs special commissioner in Taizhou District, Zhejiang, he rectified the Kuomintang’s grassroots party affairs in Taizhou and other places. At the same time, Wang Weiheng is also responsible for the secret tasks arranged by the organization, developing our party members and establishing party organizations in the Zhejiang area. After Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup, our party members and leftists in Zhejiang died or fled, and the party organization suffered a great impact. Under the arrangement of the superiors, Wang Weiheng used primary school teachers as a cover and served as secretary of the Youth League Committee of Ningbo Prefectural Committee and the Organization Department of Zhuji County Party Committee.
1928, the Zhuji County Party Committee secretly planned to launch an armed uprising. Unfortunately, a party member accidentally killed his family while practicing guns, exposing the entire uprising plan.
In desperation, the Zhuji County Party Committee had no choice but to quickly arrange for personnel to be evacuated in dispersion. Wang Weiheng respected the instructions of county party secretary Jin Cheng, went to Nanjing to use his old relationship to invade the Kuomintang army and lurked, waiting for the awakening of the organization.
Before leaving, Jincheng held Wang Weiheng's hand and said: "Don't worry, the organization will definitely find you back!"
In order to show his confidence and determination to the end of the revolution, Wang Weiheng changed his name to "Weiheng" at this time. The meaning of this is self-evident, which means you have to hold a red heart and wait for the organization.
Wang Weiheng originally wanted to find himself in the organization as long as a few months or as long as one or two years. But unexpectedly, he waited for more than ten years.
The lurking Wang Weiheng was ordered to find his old superior Chen Liang. Under Chen Liang's arrangement, he first went to the Kuomintang Military Control Commission Manager Law and Regulations Research Institute.After three months of study, Wang Weiheng went to the headquarters of the Central Military Academy and the Luoyang Branch of the Central Military Academy to serve as the chief of the major military supplies department.
When the Battle of Songhu, Wang Weiheng followed the 87th Division to the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War. Although the military officer does not have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, Wang Weiheng has strong work ability and arranges the supply of military officers clearly. In addition, he is honest and not corrupt, and is very popular.
Wang Weiheng has a good reputation in the army, is honest and upright, and is incompatible with other Kuomintang officers, which naturally attracted the attention of the underground party. It happened that Shi Yong (formerly known as Sha Wenwei ) from the underground party organization in Nanjing met Wang Weiheng when he was engaged in the student movement in his early years. Shi Yong knew that Wang Weiheng had a tendency to make progress before, but he did not know that Wang Weiheng was a party member.
After several tests, Shi Yong felt that Wang Weiheng had the possibility of fighting, so he asked him whether he could help our party do something. Wang Weiheng thought that the organization sent someone to find him, so he agreed decisively; but Shi thought that Wang Weiheng was an enlightened person and did not know that he was ordered to lurk.
This historical misunderstanding has existed for many years. It was not until later that Jincheng confirmed Wang Weiheng's identity was eliminated.
. In this way, Wang Weiheng took advantage of his particularity in military supplies and continuously conveyed a lot of information about the Kuomintang army to the organization.
After that, Wang Weiheng followed Hu Zongnan to the northwest, and Wang Weiheng continued to lurk beside Hu Zongnan. Not only that, he also developed his younger brother Wang Yikun . In 1942, the two brothers filled out the application form for joining the party together. The application for joining the party of the two brothers was handed over to Qian Zhiguang, director of the Hongyan Office of the Eighth Route Army. , but later, the application for joining the party of the Eighth Route Army was evacuated in a hurry, and the application for joining the party was forced to be destroyed.
1943, Chiang Kai-shek secretly ordered Hu Zongnan to send troops to attack our Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region.
Although the enemy's actions are extremely confidential, the army needs to keep up with it when it is mobilized by a large army. As the saying goes, "the three armies will move, food and grass will come first." As the head of military supplies, Wang Weiheng sensitively discovered this abnormality.
The situation was urgent. Wang Weiheng quickly passed this information to Qian Zhiguang and reported on the deployment of the Kuomintang troops in various provinces in the northwest. In addition, our party learned the same information from other channels, and the Eighth Route Army was able to prepare in advance.
Chiang Kai-shek found that the Eighth Route Army had prepared and had to give up this plan.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Wang Weiheng returned to Nanjing and became the deputy commander and deputy director of the Joint Logistics Headquarters. And his contact person became Shi Yong again.
After the outbreak of civil war , Wang Weiheng passed the various intelligence he had to the organization through Shi Yong. The intelligence line "Wang Weiheng-Shi Yong" has obtained a large amount of valuable intelligence for our army.
For example, in the Battle of Dabie Mountains, Wang Weiheng quickly passed the number of Chiang Kai-shek soldiers, troops number, offensive route and date of dispatch to our army;
Another example, in the Battle of Liaoshen , Wang Weiheng took advantage of the opportunity to go to Northeast Hebei to inspect military supplies and collect a large amount of intelligence. After the Liaoshen World War, our army summarized the battle situation and found that the real situation was almost consistent with Wang Weiheng's intelligence.
On the other hand, Wang Weiheng's career within the enemy was also very smooth. He was appreciated by Chen Cheng and regarded as his confidant. After Chen Cheng was unfavorable in the Northeast and was forced to step down as Chief of Staff and other positions, Chiang Kai-shek appointed him as Chairman of Taiwan Province and Commander-in-Chief of Taiwan Garrison.
After Chen Cheng went to Taiwan, he quickly transferred Wang Weiheng to Taiwan and appointed him as the deputy commander-in-chief and director of the supply bureau of the 10th supply zone of Taiwan, responsible for the military supply logistics supply after the Kuomintang army retreated to Taiwan.
Go to Taiwan, to be honest, Wang Weiheng hesitated. After lurking in the enemy camp for so many years, the dawn of victory is about to come. If I go to Taiwan, I will continue to lurk, and the whole family may not be able to come back.
lurked in the enemy camp for 20 years, walking on the tip of a knife every day. Not everyone can live such a life.Wang Weiheng also hopes that he can return to the organization openly without having to lurk in fear.
But he also knew that the various deployments of the Kuomintang army in Taiwan were of great significance to our army. The organization also agreed to his trip to Taiwan, but once he received a new order, Wang Weiheng should evacuate Taiwan immediately.
After careful consideration, Wang Weiheng took his family to Taiwan. At about the same time, the organization also sent a comrade to Taiwan to be his liaison officer. This comrade is called Xu Seoul. He joined the party in the same group as Wang Weiheng. He is one of the four earliest party members in Ningbo.
After Wang Weiheng arrived in Taiwan, he successively passed a lot of information to the organization through Xu Seoul, including the activities of the US military advisory group in Taiwan.
Soon, the Kuomintang army was defeated in the mainland, and Wang Weiheng secretly listened to our party's radio station every day in Taiwan, ready for new instructions at any time.
11949, Wang Weiheng, who was in Taiwan, suddenly received a letter from the mainland. The person who wrote the letter was Shi Yong. Just looking at the content of the letter could not be the reminiscence and concern among friends, but a poem in the letter was the agreed code of evacuation.
Wang Weiheng was ecstatic, but soon became worried again.
Because at this time it was really difficult for him to find a reasonable excuse to take his whole family back to the mainland.
Perhaps Wang Weiheng was lucky. The Supply Administration Bureau he worked for was dissolved for some reason, and Chen Cheng went to recuperate again. He told Chen Cheng to go back to the mainland on the grounds that his mother was seriously ill.
After hearing this, Chen Cheng naturally advised him not to go back, saying that the situation in the mainland was critical, and sent his wife to persuade him. In order not to make Chen Cheng suspicious, Wang Weiheng had to leave his whole family in Taiwan and return to the mainland alone. The family returned to Shanghai in early May 1949 without any danger.
Seeing that Chen Cheng could not retain it, he had to let Wang Weiheng serve as the deputy commander of the supply area of stationed in Shanghai Songhu District. It happened that at this time, Shanghai's acting mayor was Wang Weiheng's old superior Chen Liang. Chen Liang was very happy that Wang Weiheng was able to come back at this time and allowed him to serve as the director of the Shanghai Finance Bureau and chairman of the bank.
After Wang Weiheng returned to Shanghai, he temporarily lost contact with Shi Yong. Wang Weiheng patiently continued to lurk. Taking advantage of his work, he began to prepare for liberation by himself: retained the sealed archives and prevented a large amount of funds from escaping.
The most important archive preserved by Wang Weiheng is the "Basics of Expropriation of House Donations" in Shanghai. This picture clearly marks the building area and structure of each block in Shanghai. It can be preserved and plays a great role in the municipal construction after the liberation of Shanghai.
At the same time, he repeatedly persuaded Chen Liang not to be enemies with the people, and even refused to allocate funds to Tang Enbo fortifications on the grounds of financial deficit.
After the liberation of Shanghai, Wang Weiheng contacted our military personnel in the name of "rejection", and the beginning scene happened. Because the organization had previously told him that if necessary, you could contact Pan Hannian to prove his identity
Gu Zhun was shocked and quickly found the organization to verify Wang Weiheng's identity. He couldn't help but respect the comrade who had been lurking in the enemy camp for more than 20 years.
After the liberation, Wang Weiheng served as deputy director and director of the Shanghai Direct Taxation Bureau, Land Affairs Bureau, and Real Estate Administration Bureau, and died of illness in 1971.
Wang Weiheng was able to lurk in the enemy camp for more than 20 years because the red belief in his heart had never been shaken, and his revolutionary fire had never been extinguished.
He knew that the organization would definitely come to him.
