Guan Yuezhou was born into a wealthy family in Jilin Province, and his middle school was in Harbin, and when he was in middle school, he secretly joined the Kuomintang. In 1928, when he and the Kuomintang conspired against him, they were accidentally exposed, and they were all arrested, and they were released a year later. After the September 18 Incident in 1931, Guan Yuezhou sold his family's land and organized his own self-defense army; as the ranks continued to expand and there were not enough guns, he took the method of armed recruitment to borrow guns from large landowners, and for the first time put forward the slogan of "money with money, grain from grain, and guns with guns", which successfully solved the problem of weapons and equipment.
In 1932, the People's Self-Defense Army, organized by Guan Yuezhou, was incorporated into the Northeast People's Salvation Military and Political Committee. Guan Yuezhou naturally became the commander of the Fifth Route Army and carried out anti-Japanese activities from then on.
In the process of Guan Yuezhou's participation in the anti-Japanese resistance, two things have to be said.
One is that when Guan Yuezhou led an army to attack the northwest of the twin cities, he collected grain and grass and weapons from the landlord's family, but was informed by the landlord. Intercepted by puppet troops. As a result, he was captured and sent to a Japanese military camp.
The second was that Guan Yuezhou was executed by the Japanese army with a knife. And the Japanese army posted notices at various city gates: "Yesterday, a key criminal was captured, guan Yuezhou, the political commissar of the 22nd Brigade of the Northeast Army, in view of his confrontation with the imperial army, resulting in many martyrdom of the imperial army, not killing enough civilian indignation, and it is decided to behead the public with the double castle cross street today to show his example." This cloth. "
At noon on the day that Guan Yuezhou was beheaded, the Japanese army escorted Guan Yuezhou to the execution site. At that time, Guan Yuezhou was seriously injured, his face was very pale, but his head was high, and when the cart drove in front of the cutter, two Japanese soldiers dragged Guan Yuezhou down from the car, and Guan Yue zhou staggered to stand, took a large bowl of wine, and drank it all. Snapped and threw the bowl to the ground. He wiped it with his sleeve, turned to face the crowd of onlookers, and said calmly: "Folks, farewell forever!" Don't get discouraged, let's see if the little devil can bounce around for a few days! "The Japanese army saw that it was going to stir up emotions, and immediately ordered the execution of the order, and Guan Yuezhou was beheaded and heroically martyred. He was only 41 years old. At that time, the crowd of onlookers turned their backs on their faces, and everyone began to cry, grieving for this hero and mourning in silence for this hero.
What was even more brutal about the Japanese army was that in order to intimidate the anti-Japanese people, the Japanese army put Guan Yuezhou's head in a wooden cage and hung it on the city gate. A few days later, on a snowy night, Guan Yuezhou's friends took advantage of the fact that the Japanese army did not pay attention to remove Guan Yuezhou's head, and rushed to the bottom of the Niutou Mountain next to the Second Tun of Zhengbai Banner overnight, and buried Guan Yuezhou here.
Guan Yuezhou is resourceful and does not fear strong enemies. In order to commemorate this anti-Japanese hero, posterity specially wrote a prayer:
Niutou Mountain's Tibetan wind gathering suddenly increased in color, and the snow night sacrifice martyred the martyrdom;
The Dragon Mother Temple clouds around chong hugged the ancient liufang, and the citizens buried the severed head of the general.
