Depp is the director of the Hydrographic Bureau, and he is very coveted for the important files and hydrographic data kept by the Japanese. He once bribed Depp to sell them, but he refused. When the "August 13th" Sino-Japanese War broke out, the Bureau of Surveying and Mapping was in Fenglin Bridge, which was within the line of enemy artillery bombardment. He transferred all the documents, charts and instruments to Nanjing and kept them by the Admiralty.
In the early days of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, in 27 years of the Republic of China, he was the captain of the second team of Depp Ren Haijun Mining Team, attached to the third war zone and stationed in Shanghai. The corps is divided into seven brigades, which are respectively responsible for laying mines in ports, rivers, lakes and seas in Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangxi and Fujian provinces. At that time, most of the drifting mines were in southern Anhui, northern Jiangxi and along the river. Thunder will be set in Hankou, Zhangshu Town, Fuchunjiang, Oujiang, Taizhou, Quanzhou Bay and Poyang Lake Jiulong River. In an emergency, Depp always comes to the grassroots and leads the officers and men to act together. At that time, there were four mine-laying teams in China, and Depp Corps had the largest establishment, the widest defense area and the most arduous task, so it achieved the most.
In 33 years, Depp was appointed as Major General and Commander of Minjiang River Defence. On August 15, 34, Japan surrendered unconditionally. In September, Depp was transferred to Xiamen as the commander of Major General Yaogang, and was ordered to surrender to the Japanese invaders on behalf of the China government. The commander of the Japanese army in Xiamen, vice admiral Harada Ito, was in charge of the southeast coastal islands. Depp first handed over the army within a time limit and ordered him to hand over the battery, gunboats, suicide boats, radio stations, airports, shipyards and so on. In terms of law and order, it is temporarily maintained by the Japanese gendarmerie, and we send personnel to supervise it. Finally, the arrangement of receiving materials is made, and the relevant units are required to receive them separately according to their majors. The successful completion of Xiamen's surrender and the stability of social order cannot be separated from Depp's proper arrangement and strict implementation.
After the Japanese surrender, more than 2,000 Japanese Lu and their families gathered in Xiamen University, which was handled according to the provisions of international law, and no one was allowed to interfere. When sending Lu, only Lu people are allowed to walk to the dock with their own clothes on their backs. The Japanese side requested to send a special car to Harada's boat, adhered to the principle of leaving Lu, and packed the back on the dock with only one big car, which reflected the dignity of the country and the spirit of international law.
In 34 years of the Republic of China, Chiang Kai-shek was dismissed as commander-in-chief of Chen Shaokuan Navy, and Gui Yongqing succeeded him. Depp also left. In 35 years of the Republic of China, Gui Yongqing planned to be transferred back to Depp as the deputy director of the second department of Ren Haijun General Command. Depp is under surveillance because of his old age and illness. In order to avoid trouble and break off old contacts, he lived in Nanjing's sister's residence, and soon returned to Fuzhou, and then returned to Jian 'ou's hometown. The couple cook for themselves. Friends and relatives visit and make their own tea.
China was founded in 1949, and Depp is proud of his home. Comrade Chen Yi of East China Admiralty heard about his talent, and sent a special car to Jian 'ou to be invited to Shanghai as the fourth-class engineer of the new China Hydrological Bureau, and presided over the work of the technical office. After the liberation of Zhoushan Islands 1950, pirates still appeared in the north of the island. The former Nanjing government's sea lanes in the Yangtze River estuary have not been cleared, and American warships are still patrolling outside the Yangtze River estuary. The East China Navy arranged the task of mine clearance, and Depp participated in the investigation and mine clearance. After several months of hard work, the task was completed. In the same year, the first batch of marine surveyors in the hydrographic training course participated in the marine survey practice. In order to improve the practice results and the technical level of marine surveyors, Depp personally went to the sea to guide and live with marine personnel, which was bittersweet.
