Zhao Shangzhi, a famous anti-Japanese general

General Zhao Shangzhi was killed in the War of Resistance Against Japan, belonged to the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, and became the most feared person in the Northeast Japanese army besides General Yang Jingyu because of his combat bravery. After the heroic sacrifice of General Yang Jingyu, General Zhao Shangzhi became the number one target of the Japanese army. On February 12, 1942, General Zhao Shangzhi was arrested by internal traitors during a battle against the enemy, and was subsequently brutalized by the Japanese army. The Japanese cut off the head of General Zhao Shangzhi in order to ask for credit. After the Japanese surrendered, the head of General Zhao Shangzhi was also missing. After 62 years of searching for patriots, he was finally found in a monastery, and the hero was finally able to settle down.

In the Japanese Northeast Front, just mentioning the names of two people is enough to make the Japanese army feel frightened, one is named Yang Jingyu, who is a familiar anti-Japanese hero, and the other is the protagonist we want to talk about this time - General Zhao Shangzhi. In February 1940, General Yang Jingyu was brutally murdered in The Mengjiang River in Jilin Province, and the Japanese army even brutally beheaded him. After Yang Jingyu's death, the next major target of the Japanese army was General Zhao Shangzhi. Zhao Shangzhi is also well aware of this, and the anti-Japanese activities are more cautious than ever.

It can be said that it is difficult for the Japanese army to capture Zhao Shangzhi in the frontal battlefield. Caution does not mean timidity, Zhao Shangzhi was more heroic and good at fighting than ever after Yang Jingyu's death, and the Japanese army also hated him for this. But even so, the battlefield will be led by the nose by Zhao Shangzhi, who is like the god of war.

But the weather is unpredictable, people have bad luck, and solid fortresses are often broken from the inside, and people are no exception. The cautious Zhao Shangzhi was unfortunately betrayed by traitors during an attack on the Wutong River Police Station and was seriously injured and arrested. Soon after being brutally killed by the Japanese army, the Japanese officers also beheaded Zhao Shangzhi in order to ask for merit, and like General Yang Jingyu, they were heroes of the same generation, but they were in a different place, which showed the ferocity and tyranny of the Japanese invaders.

So, why did Zhao Zhishang, who was cautious and careful, not discover the existence of traitors and spies? The matter has to start from Zhao Zhishang's return from the Soviet Union in 1941. Since Zhao Zhishang returned from the Soviet Union, he has received special attention from Japanese agents. Hisajiro Takai, director of the Tsuruta Prefectural Police Department in Japan, and Masao Higashijo, the chief of the secret service, quickly formulated a plan to trap Zhao Zhishang, the main means of which was to install spies around Zhao Zhishang, and two people were installed at once.

The two spies are Liu Deshan, who was once a hunter with accurate marksmanship, and Zhang Yuqing, who has been using mountain people as a cover for many years, but is actually a Japanese spy. The two of them joined at the moment when Zhao Zhishang was "in distress", originally Zhao Zhishang was very suspicious of their identity, but the old comrade-in-arms Jiang Lixin came forward to ensure that the two successfully mixed into Zhao Zhishang's team.

On February 12, 1942, during the attack on the enemy police station, Zhang Yuqing first went to inform Zhao Zhishang under the pretext of inquiring into the situation, and then Liu Deshan fired a black gun at Zhao Zhishang in the back. General Zhao was shot in the lower back, and the bullet immediately pierced his body, and he quickly counterattacked with severe pain, killing Liu Deshan with two consecutive shots. But he was too badly injured to escape. After several hours of torture, he was heroically righteous. On February 17, Hisajiro Takai and Masao Higashijo and others sawed off Cho's head with a saw, and the body was thrown into the Matsuhana River. It is regrettable that a generation of heroes lost their lives at the hands of traitors and traitors.
