Japan's signature on the surrender document in 1945 not only marked the victory of the Chinese people's war against aggression, but also marked the final victory of the anti-fascist war for the people of the world.

Japan's signature on the surrender document in 1945 not only marked the victory of the Chinese people's anti-aggression war, but also marked the final victory of the anti-fascist war of the people of the world. As one of the main battlefields in World War II, our people made great contributions to the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War.

In fact, the frontal battlefield with flying shells is certainly important, but the bloodless fighting on the other hidden front is also very critical, and sometimes it can even have a major impact on the course of the war. However, these agents often hide their fame and success after completing their tasks, and are rarely known to people.

1995 coincided with the 50th anniversary of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War. The then Russian President Yeltsin actually signed a commendation document and awarded three Patriotic War commemorative medals to three Chinese people, Yan Baohang, Yan Mingshi, and Li Zhengwen. This incident brought three agents into the public eye, especially Yan Baohang, whose life experience is legendary.

Yan Baohang was born in 1895 when the Qing Dynasty was still dying. He was born in Haicheng, Liaoning Province. Although he was born in troubled times, he was fortunate to have a good family background. Not only did he have enough food and clothing, he was even more fortunate to have the opportunity to receive a good education. In 1918, he graduated from the H1 Fengtian H2 Normal School and deeply felt the importance of enlightening the people's wisdom for the country and the nation. However, at that time, it was difficult for the children of the working people at the bottom to go to school.

In order to change this situation, he opened Fengtian Poor Children's School to specially accept children from poor families so that they can receive systematic education. He was only 23 years old at the time. It was rare for him to have such a broad sentiment for his family and country at such a young age. Even Zhang Xueliang strongly supported him when he learned about it.

Suddenly, his fame spread throughout Fengtian, and many politicians and celebrities were willing to make friends with Yan Baohang. He also attracted the attention of the Chiangs and his wife. Soon after, he went to work at the "Thinking Society" jointly established by Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang. During this period, he had more exchanges and contacts with Chiang Kai-shek, and he was highly appreciated and was soon promoted to chairman of the Military Commission and counselor of the camp.

But during this period, he also saw the corruption of the National Government . At the same time, he came into contact with communist ideas and felt that he had found a way to save the country and the people, so he founded a literary journal to publicize the revolutionary truth. In 1925, When the May 30th Movement broke out, he actively participated in it and led more than 20,000 Shenyang workers to carry out demonstrations.

After Japan stepped up its aggression against China, he has been using his influence to promote anti-Japanese resistance, and joined the Communist Party of China in 1937. Taking into account his previous life experience, the party organization arranged a very special task for him, which is to become an agent and contribute to the revolution on the hidden front.

Although Yan Baohang was aware of the dangers he might face in the future, he still resolutely accepted the organization's arrangements. He held a high position in the National Government, so he had access to a lot of top-secret information, so he passed on a lot of important intelligence, which benefited the frontline war.

So, why was he commended by Russia? It turned out that at that time, he had learned in advance that Germany would implement a blitzkrieg against the Soviet Union. At that time, even the Soviet intelligence agency did not have accurate information. Yan Baohang contacted his superiors non-stop and successfully passed the information to the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union made emergency strategic deployments, changed its combat plan, and was fully prepared for the blitzkrieg. In addition, he also learned the intelligence of Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor and the military deployment and control drawings of the Japanese Kwantung Army, which all played a decisive role in the development of the war. play a key role.

The reason why Yan Baohang was able to pass on important information many times is naturally related to his outstanding ability, but it is also inseparable from the organization's protection and trust in him. As a top agent, he is directly under the management of Zhou Gong, Even Li Kenong could not dispatch him at will, so his identity could be kept secret until the Kuomintang was defeated and evacuated to Taiwan Province, without any trace of him being exposed.

But as long as they have made contributions to the country and nation, we will never forget them. After Yan Baohang's death, his red status was proved. The establishment and development of our country was made possible by thousands of such unsung heroes. Their stories deserve to be told, and their exploits deserve to be remembered.
