Regarding the sacrifice of Yang Jingyu, the leader of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Resistance League, everyone is certainly no stranger, and it can be called the biggest loss of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance.
In fact, after Yang Jingyu was surrounded, there were still several opportunities to break through and escape, but they were all blocked by traitors one by one, which made people sigh.
In March 1940, at the proposal of the Japanese gendarmerie and undertaken by the puppet army, a "Yang Jingyu Crusade Forum" was held, which seriously summarized their pursuit of General Yang Jingyu.
In fact, the crusade team chased After Yang Jingyu, starting from the beginning of 1940, when the Spring Festival was approaching.
At that time, Yang Jingyu led the First Route Army of the Anti-Japanese League to the Dongshuangyagou in Maojiang County. Saying that it was the First Route Army, in fact, Yang Jingyu had less than 70 soldiers around him. However, just after settling down, their whereabouts were exposed, and the culprit who exposed their whereabouts was actually Yang Jingyu's most trusted person, and also the person Yang Jingyu raised him from childhood, his guard platoon leader Zhang Xiufeng.
It was this Zhang Xiufeng, who could not resist the temptation of the Japanese, secretly defected to the enemy camp and told the japanese general Yang Jingyu the specific location. The Japanese puppet army immediately organized a 500-strong crusade and directly attacked General Yang Jingyu's garrison.
Although after discovering zhang Xiufeng's disappearance, General Yang Jingyu was aware of it and had begun to organize the evacuation of personnel, but it was too late, the enemy army had already surrounded him, and Yang Jingyu had to fight with the enemy while retreating.
However, after all, the enemy was numerous, and when Yang Jingyu withdrew, not only did he lose half of his troops, but the enemy army also became a tail that could not be shaken off.
What is even more worth mentioning is that the person who organized the pursuit of General Yang Jingyu, named Cheng Bin, was the commander of the First Division of the First Route Army, which Yang Jingyu valued most, and as a result, because he could not live a hard life, he had a disagreement with Yang Jingyu, and finally defected to the enemy camp and became Yang Jingyu's sworn enemy.
What is even more fatal is that Yang Jingyu never suffered losses in his previous dealings with the enemy, because he built about 70 secret camps in the forest, and everywhere he went, there were supplies and ammunition, but after Cheng Bin surrendered to the enemy, he put out all the secret camps and disks, and as a result, all the secret camps were destroyed by the enemy, which was also the main reason why Yang Jingyu ran out of ammunition and food later.
Relying on the familiar terrain and tenacious fighting spirit, Yang Jingyu temporarily threw off the enemy, but the biggest problem appeared next: the little grain that the troops had previously stored was lost! If you don't have enough to eat, you can't fight at all, and you can't survive. Helplessly, after Yang Jingyu led his men to the Xinkai River, he began to attack the Xinkaihe Wooden Field, because there was some grain from the enemy's tun there.
Originally, the fight was quite smooth, and the specially organized 17-man grain carrying team also rushed to transport some grain in time, but in the process of their retreat, they unfortunately encountered Cheng Bin's mountain search team. In the end, not only did the grain not come back, but the 17 people were also scattered, and there were fewer and fewer people around General Yang Jingyu, and only 14 people remained.
In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival has arrived. Originally, Yang Jingyu was ready to let everyone rest, but Cheng Bin did not go home for the New Year at this juncture, but continued to lead people to search the mountains on the day of Chinese New Year's Eve. In order to ask the Japanese for credit, this shameless traitor really fought!
As a result, Yang Jingyu's troops were once again discovered, and Yang Jingyu commanded everyone to fight for more than two hours, and finally successfully withdrew. But at this time, Yang Jingyu suffered from typhoid fever again, fortunately, there were still 7 comrades around him, who had been taking care of him and continued to carry him around the enemy in the mountains and forests.
During this time, 7 people did not have a grain of grain, and did not dare to go down the mountain to purchase, hungry can only eat the cotton in the cotton coat on the snow, really hungry, they dig the frozen grass roots in the snow to fill the hunger.
However, the traitor Cheng Bin, because he was familiar with the situation of General Yang Jingyu, had been trying to search for them, and on the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, he found them again in a desert ditch.
Yang Jingyu decided that everyone should act separately, otherwise, no one would be able to escape the enemy's encirclement, so he took two comrades to break through separately.
However, shortly after the two squads separated, Yang Jingyu was once again besieged, and the two guards were found by Cheng Bin in the process of going down the mountain to find grain, and died in the battle, and Cheng Bin judged that Yang Jingyu was nearby, and sent 600 people to search for Yang Jingyu.
During the battle, Yang Jingyu was unfortunately shot in the left arm, but he still relied on his tenacious will to escape the enemy's encirclement and hide in an abandoned kiln of a fellow villager.
At this time, he had not eaten for several days, and he had no strength at all, so he asked a passing fellow to buy him some things and clothes for him to go down the mountain. However, this fellow was obsessed with money and reported him, and finally General Yang Jingyu was cornered and died heroically on February 23, 1940.
This is the sacrifice of General Yang Jingyu.
In fact, during this period, Yang Jingyu had several chances to escape, but he was blocked by the traitors Zhang Xiufeng and Cheng Bin under his hands, as well as the fellow who was obsessed with money!
It is said that before yang Jingyu sacrificed, he said a sentence of pain: "How did I meet such a Chinese!" ”
