Yang Jingyu, the main leader and founder of the Northeast Anti-Japanese League, was entrusted to the northeast in 1932 to organize the anti-Japanese coalition army, and fought bitterly in the black water of the White Mountains in the northeast for eight years, until he ran out of food and was empty, he still insisted on fighting. On February 23, 1940, Yang Jingyu was shot and killed by his former subordinate Zhang Xiruo, a special machine gunner who had already thrown himself into Japan, and it was Kishi Gu Ryuichi, director of the pseudo-Tonghua Provincial Police Department, who ordered the shooting.
It is really lamentable that a commander-in-chief was shot by his former subordinates, but in fact, Yang Jingyu was not the only one who chose to betray him.
Cheng Bin was the commander of the First Division of the First Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese League, and was also Yang Jingyu's most trusted subordinate, and later surrendered. In fact, in the eyes of the Japanese, Yang Jingyu is a very magical figure, almost like a god. At that time, the heavy snow in the northeast had not passed the knees, and the Japanese could not walk at all after entering, but Yang Jingyu could come to himself in these heavy snows, because Yang Jingyu was a big man with a height of one meter and nine three, who was tall and tall, and heroic. The reason why Yang Jingyu was able to persist for so long in the deep mountains and heavy snow was because he had secret camps all over the mountains, and it was this Cheng Bin division commander whom Yang Jingyu trusted, who after surrendering, told the Japanese of all the secret camps, and the Japanese destroyed the secret camps, cut off Yang Jingyu's back road, and forced Yang Jingyu to a dead end.
Zhang Xiufeng was an orphan whose parents had died, and it was Yang Jingyu who took him in, raised him as an adult, and made him his personal guard. In February 1940, he took a batch of confidential documents and funds from the Anti-Japanese League to defect to the enemy and told the Japanese of Yang Jingyu's escape route, and a month later, Yang Jingyu was arrested.
Because the camp was destroyed, all the supplies were gone, Yang Jingyu was alone in the mountains, there was no hunger, when the temperature was minus twenty or thirty degrees, Yang Jingyu's shoes were lost, when Yang Jingyu came to the area of Jiangxian Baoan Village, he met four villagers, the leader of which was named Zhao Tingxi, he wanted to please come and want to buy himself some food and bring a cotton shoe, give them money himself, Zhao Tingxi accepted the money and promised him, before leaving, Zhao Tingxi said to Yang Jingyu: I see that you still surrendered, and now the Japanese do not kill those who surrender. Yang Jingyu replied: If Chinese surrender, China will be finished. What Zhao Tingxi did not know was that after Yang Jingyu surrendered, the Japanese would not only not kill him, but also make him the military minister of the puppet government.
On the way back, Zhao Tingxi met a traitor, he was afraid that the other three people would report him, so he told Yang Jingyu's whereabouts, and soon after, Zhao Tingxi went with a team of puppet troops to find General Yang Jingyu, at that time Yang Jingyu was exhausted, and the whole person was extremely weak...
