Zhao Lingbo was killed by the New Fourth Army. In January 1941, when the New Fourth Army withdrew to the north, Zhao Lingbo, who was then the deputy commander of the First Column, was captured and defected during the Anhui Incident.

Captured by the Japanese in the same year, he did not return to his hometown until after the liberation of the area. Late one night in August 1968, Zhao Xizhong committed suicide by throwing himself into the Yellow River.
Liu Houzong was executed by the new CCP regime. This man was Xiang Ying's murderer, and in a place called Bee Cave, he snatched Xiang Ying's weapons and belongings and defected to the Kuomintang. In the winter of 1943, Liu Houzong was escorted to Chongqing to enter the military command of the zazaidong for five years, and only released him in 1948 when the Kuomintang was in turmoil. Liu Houzong ran to a Xingji salt shop opened by a fellow villager in Jiangxi to be Mr. Account manager. On July 28, 1952, Liu Houzong was recognized by the deputy director of the local Public Security Bureau, and Liu Houzong was subsequently shot in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province.
