87 years ago, the Japanese launched the 918 Incident in northeast China, and since then, many anti-Japanese heroes have emerged in the northeast, but there have also been many shameless traitors, such as the most famous traitor: Xie Wendong.
In fact, Xie Wendong was still an anti-Japanese hero at the beginning, pulled up an anti-Japanese team, and later joined the Northeast Democratic Anti-Japanese Coalition Army as the commander of the Eighth Army. However, this man's revolutionary position was not firm, and during the most difficult period of the Anti-Japanese Resistance, he defected to Japan and became a traitor.
To say why the traitor is willing to be a traitor, I am afraid that it is inseparable from these two points: covetous enjoyment, greedy for life and afraid of death, Xie Wendong interpreted these two points vividly.
In 1939, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in the northeast region entered the most difficult period, the anti-Japanese team shrank sharply, Xie Wendong's Eighth Army of the Anti-Japanese Coalition consisted of more than 2,000 people, and finally only 14 people were killed, and 8 relatives in Xie Wendong's family were killed by the Japanese.
It is reasonable to say that the hatred of the country and the family should have stimulated Xie Wendong's determination to resist Japan, but what surprised people was that Xie Wendong shamelessly defected to Japan.
The promises the Japanese gave him were: 5 large tile houses, 100 acres of land, 500 yuan per month living expenses, and a Japanese wife, and provided all-day protection. Xie Wendong felt that it was very likely that he would die against the Japanese army, and now he could not only not die, but also enjoy such good conditions, so he turned to the Japanese with all his heart.
One day, a traitor came to Xie Wendong's house for a small talk, analyzed the current situation for him, and felt that the Japanese were too suspicious, and if they did not show something, I was afraid that it would be difficult to gain trust. Xie Wendong was anxious when he heard it, and asked what to do? The traitor said, "With your position and influence here, it would be better for you to propose to the Japanese to see the emperor, and your status will be raised at once." After Xie Wendong listened, he quickly nodded his head, and on the same day he proposed to the Japanese that he wanted to see the emperor.
The Japanese were also very surprised that it was rare to see such an "active" traitor, and it was arranged immediately.
Soon after, Xie Wendong was summoned by the emperor, and in order to show his loyalty, he also set up a spiritual hall in his home to mourn the Japanese who had been killed by himself, and personally selected a tombstone to build a crown tomb for these people, and went to the grave every day to kneel and repent. A Chinese, it is really shameless to go home!
One more thing that has to be mentioned. When Xie Wendong went to Japan, Japan specially arranged a plane to welcome him. However, Xie Wendong had never even taken a train, let alone a plane, and the huge roar and vibration of the plane made him think that the Japanese were going to kill him, and he saw an opportunity to jump off the plane to escape, and finally after being said by people, he finally calmed down and flew to Japan.
After the victory of the War of Resistance, such a traitor should have been shot, but old Chiang felt that he still had the value of use, so he supported him to re-pull up a team, and also became the commander-in-chief of the 15th Group Army, cooperating with the Nationalist army to attack our army.
In the winter of 1946, Xie Wendong's troops were completely annihilated by our army, and he fled with several bandits into the deep mountains and old forests.
Xiao Bing, then deputy director of the Northeast Film Studio, knew that Xie Wendong could not hide anywhere in the winter and would soon be arrested, so he planned the documentary "Catch Xie Wendong Alive" in advance, carrying a camera and following the troops to hunt for and shoot.
On November 20, a scout came to report that some footprints had been found on the mountain, and that in the winter, the general villagers would not enter the mountain, and they must be bandits. Li Yuqing, deputy company commander of the Fifth Company, and Liu Shuyan, the commander of the second platoon, led a squad to pursue them, and when they searched between The Four Rivers and the Five Tigers, they found a small mountain temple, and there were people inside, and Deputy Company Commander Li shouted inside.
The people in the temple stubbornly resisted and shot at our army, and as a result, the submachine guns of our army strafed, and several people inside fell down in response to the sound, leaving only a fat man to rely on a large tree and continue to resist. Xiao Bing took a closer look, and this fat man was none other than Xie Wendong.
Xiao Bing didn't want to miss this shot, so he carried the camera directly to the opposite side of Xie Wendong. Xie Wendong didn't know what it was, such a thick caliber, thinking that it was a new type of cannon aimed at him, and suddenly he was frightened to pee his pants, and the gun also fell to the ground, raising his hand and shouting for his life.
Such a shameless traitor, of course, will not let him go, on December 3, 1946, Xie Wendong was executed, ending his sinful life.
