What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
In 1948, fighters who were suppressing bandits in the northeast region captured a bandit leader in the Jilin region and sentenced him to death after a trial, but just before the execution of the death penalty, the bandit leader was still shouting that he had been a commander of the Anti-Japanese League, killed a Daisaku of the Japanese army, and led the troops to fight with the Japanese for several years.
This person is the bandit Traitor Xie Wendong during the puppet Manchukuo period, Xie Wendong is a native of Jilin in the northeast, his father is the remnant of the Manchu Eight Banners, his mother is a Han, when he was young, Xie Wendong was tall and heroic, and in the northeast region where bandits were everywhere at that time, he not only dared to take a few people to do the business of selling horses, but also organized young and middle-aged people in his hometown to fight against the bandits, and gradually became a famous local hero, and by the time of the September 18 Incident, Xie Wendong was already the chief of several famous local villages and towns, and he had hundreds of self-defense arms against bandits.
After the September 18 Incident, in the face of the Japanese attack, many bandits around joined the Japanese army one after another, and intensified their bullying of the common people, after Xie Wendong saw this situation, he contacted the security chiefs of several surrounding villages and towns, launched an uprising, and launched a large-scale attack on the Japanese military stations and the posts of the puppet Manchukuo military and police, killing hundreds of Japanese puppet troops, capturing a large number of weapons, and gradually gathering more than 2,000 people under Xie Wendong's hands. Since then, Xie Wendong has been circling with the Japanese army in Jilin Province, during which he once killed a Kwantung Army Commander who came to encircle and suppress him, and his subordinates reached more than 6,000 people, which was regarded by the Japanese as a huge trouble.
Later, Xie Wendong and some small armed forces around him joined the Anti-Japanese League and formed the Eighth Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, Xie Wendong served as the commander, during which almost all of Xie Wendong's family members were killed by the Japanese army, and after that, he was even more hated by the national enemy and family hatred, and he fought side by side with Yang Jingyu and others of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and repeatedly inflicted heavy casualties on the Japanese puppet army, so that his name was too bright, and he was called "small three eastern provinces, big Xie Wendong" by the Japanese army. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and in the next two years, the Japanese army mobilized a large number of troops to carry out the attack against the United Forces, and Xie Wendong was captured during this period, and at the instigation of a nephew who had surrendered to the Japanese army earlier, Xie Wendong, a former hero of the Anti-Japanese League, also surrendered to the Japanese.
After the famous Xie Wendong surrendered to the Japanese, he was immediately entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the Japanese army, and later the Japanese emperor received a group of pseudo-Manchukuo officials including him in Tokyo, at this time Xie Wendong had completely become the eagle dog of the Japanese army and became a real traitor. After the victory of the War of Resistance, Xie Wendong was absorbed by the Nationalist army, and the troops were reorganized into the Northeast Jilin Advancing Army, fighting with the Northeast Democratic United Army, during which it also caused many casualties among soldiers, and after the Liaoshen Campaign, Xie Wendong led the rest of the people to hide in the mountains and continue to fight with the People's Liberation Army.
By 1948, Xie Wendong, who was at the end of his rope, was surrounded and suppressed, captured in a ruined temple, and then taken to court, and sentenced to death for treason, traitor, and other crimes. When he was executed, he tried to exchange his former anti-Japanese merits for a glimmer of life, but unfortunately compared with the evil he did after he later became a traitor, those early credits are only a comparison of the bad effects caused by posterity's comments on his becoming a traitor.
