"The northwest mountains are high and the water is long, how can the boy be the old hometown, the yellow river after the wave pushes the front wave, jump on the wave head and do a job." ——Yang Hucheng
Yang Hucheng was born in 1893 in a peasant family in Ganbei Village, Sun Town, Pucheng County, Shaanxi Province, his father Yang Huaifu was not a figure like "Zhang Zuolin", Yang Hucheng was 14 years old, Yang Huaifu was hanged by the Qing government in Xi'an, Yang Hucheng borrowed a wheelbarrow cart, walked 200 miles to pull his father's body back to Ganbei Village, but with the help of the villagers, Yang Hucheng buried his father.
In 1915, Yang Hucheng joined the Defending Army and showed his sharp edge in the army, and the next year, Yang Hucheng served as the commander of the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Mixed Regiment of the Shaanxi Army, and then Yang Hucheng participated in the War of Defending the French, leading more than 6,000 people to fight with more than 10,000 people under the warlord Chen Shufan for six days and six nights, breaking the advance of the Beiyang Army.
Yang Hucheng's ability is not low, he is bold, and he relies on his own ability to step by step to the position of a second-level general in the Nationalist Army, but on December 12, 1936, Yang Hucheng and Zhang Xueliang launched a "military advice" in Xi'an, that is, the Xi'an Incident.
After the Xi'an Incident, neither Zhang Xueliang nor Yang Hucheng intended to execute Old Jiang, and after the matter was discussed, Zhang Xueliang sent Old Jiang back to Nanjing, and was detained as soon as he got off the plane. Yang Hucheng was removed from his post by the Kuomintang government in Nanjing, and then forced to go abroad for "investigation", which was equivalent to exile.
During this period, Yang Hucheng traveled to the United States, Britain, France, Germany and other countries, and paid close attention to domestic trends, after the Lugou Bridge Incident, Yang Hucheng repeatedly called Old Jiang to request to return to China to resist Japan, but was rejected.
In December 1937, Yang Hucheng secretly returned to China to prepare for the anti-Japanese campaign, but was tricked into going to Nanchang and was imprisoned, but Yang Hucheng and Zhang Xueliang's experience was completely different.
Zhang Xueliang has some friendship with old Jiang and is guaranteed by Song Meiling, whose original match is Fengzhi, who is also running around for him. During Zhang Xueliang's imprisonment, all his expenses could be reimbursed, and Lao Jiang specially hired a chef to cook for Zhang Xueliang and built a tennis court, and it is said that during his imprisonment, the annual cost was worth the cost of a regiment.
Compared with Zhang Xueliang, Yang Hucheng's friendship with old Jiang is not deep, and no one can protect him, Yang Hucheng's wife Xie Baozhen also took the initiative to accompany him, but the agents were very rude to Yang Hucheng's family, and the special agent captain Li Jiajie was even more arrogant and blamed Xie Baozhen for no reason.
In 1942, Dai Kasa went to Xuantian Cave to see Yang Hucheng, and also felt that Yang Hucheng's family was too bitter, and then transferred Li Jiajie away, but the living environment of Yang Hucheng's family was still not good, and they could not get good nutrition.
Zhou Yanghao, a secret agent nicknamed "Shusheng Killer", and Shen Drunk, who was deeply trusted by Dai Kasa, later revealed what happened to Yang Hucheng when he was imprisoned for 12 years, which was simply painful and tragic.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Yang Hucheng originally thought that the old Jiang would freeze the previous suspicions, but it did not, their family was still imprisoned, in 1947, Xie Baozhen died of illness, 2 years later, Li Zongren had ordered Yang Hucheng to be released, but the order was not implemented.
On September 6, 1949, Mao Renfeng was instructed by Lao Jiang to go down and solve a total of 8 people, including Yang Hucheng's family and Yang Hucheng's secretary Song Qiyun and his wife, and Yang Jinxing, Xiong Xiang, Wang Shaoshan, and Lin Yongchang, four military command agents stabbed them to death with daggers and destroyed the bodies with salt and gallium water.
