Introduction to Chen

Aware of the importance of air defense, the Aviation Committee cooperated with Dai Li to expand air defense business, set up the Aviation Committee Air Defense General Station, appointed Chen as the stationmaster of the General Station, and set up ten monitoring stations in Chongming and Wenzhou. Eighteen bombers of the August 14th enemy Kisarazu team took off from Taiwan Province Province with the intention of bombing our Jianqiao Air Force Base. Ruan Lvnian, director of Wenzhou Supervision Bureau, found that Hangzhou Youtai was dispatched urgently. Gao Zhihang, the fourth captain of our Air Force, shot down six planes on the spot. Today, everyone knows that the August 14th Air Force won a great victory, but few people know the role of air defense monitoring stations.

In 2009, Deng Huaxing found Chen's report on War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression "After Attending War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression for Eight Years" from Chongqing Library, which was the greatest achievement of his tireless research on the history of his great-uncle War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. The original work 1946 was written in Chongqing. Deng Huaxing slowly leafed through it, and the years passed gently at his fingertips. From the yellow paper, he seemed to see the scene of Chen's past smoke-filled front.
