What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
In the summer of 1939, after the arrival of the new commander-in-chief of the Japanese Kwantung Army, Umezu Mijiro, in order to eliminate the anti-Japanese forces in the northeast, he mobilized heavy troops to surround the first part of the First Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance and Yang Jingyu in jilin Province; he also listed Yang Jingyu as the first confidant of the puppet Manchukuo and offered a reward of 20,000 yuan to buy his head.
At that time, the ratio of japanese puppet troops and the Anti-Japanese Coalition forces in the territory of the Maojiang River reached an astonishing 25:1, and the Japanese army deployed more than 25,000 troops in the Maojiang border and its borders, while Yang Jingyu's total strength in the territory of the Maojiang River was less than 1,000 people; the disparity in troops, coupled with insufficient supplies, the anti-coalition troops led by Yang Jingyu suffered heavy losses and were scattered. Yang Jingyu was alone with the enemy. Finally, due to the betrayal of the traitors, Yang Jingyu died heroically on February 23, 1940, at the age of 35 in Sandaozi, Shanxi.
Yang Jingyu's sacrifice had a huge relationship with the rebellion of his most powerful assistant, Cheng Bin, then commander of the First Division of the First Route Army of the Anti-Japanese League. Cheng Bin was very familiar with the Anti-Japanese League and Yang Jingyu, so the first thing he did after surrendering to the enemy was to lead the "Cheng Bin Advance Team" and the Japanese puppet army to destroy more than 70 secret camps of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army in the deep mountains and old forests (the secret camp was originally created by Yang Jingyu, which stored grain, cloth, firearms, medicines and other materials for survival. It was also an important reason why the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army was undefeated against the Japanese for 14 years), forcing the Anti-Japanese Coalition into a situation of running out of ammunition.
Secondly, because he had been following Yang Jingyu for a long time, Cheng Bin knew Yang's style very well, and often knew how to act next based on some clues of anti-coalition activities. As a result, the Anti-Japanese Coalition had almost no secrets in front of the Japanese army. Yang Jingyu, who had experienced hundreds of battles and was good at transferring, was also forced into a desperate situation by the "Cheng Bin Advance Team" led by Cheng Bin, coupled with the heavy encirclement of the Japanese army, and finally died heroically.
Secret Camp
Cheng Bin, born in 1911 in Yitong County, Jilin Province, attended middle school and has a culture. After the "918" incident, he joined the Northeast Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army and joined the Party in 1932. Because of his culture, bravery in battle, and good command, he worked under the direct leadership of Yang Jingyu and was one of Yang Jingyu's most effective assistants, and in August 1936, the First Army and the Second Army of the Anti-Japanese Coalition were merged into the First Route Army, with Yang Jingyu as the commander and political commissar of the First Route Army, and Cheng Bin as the commander of the First Division of the First Route Army (the main force of the Anti-Japanese Coalition).
In 1938, under the continuous encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army, the First Division fought alone and suffered heavy losses. In addition to military strikes, the Japanese also resorted to political inducements; at the suggestion of the traitor An Guangxun (chief of staff of the First Army, captured and defected in February 1938), taking advantage of Cheng Bin's filial piety, they captured his mother and brother to force Cheng Bin to surrender. Cheng Bin, who was not firm in his revolutionary will, fell into a bitter struggle, and the First Division was encircled and suppressed by the Japanese army and fell into a desperate situation. In the end, Cheng Bin led 115 anti-coalition soldiers to defect to the enemy in July 1938.
After killing Yang Jingyu, Cheng Bin continued to follow his Japanese master in the White Mountains and Black Waters. After the surrender of Japan in 1945, Cheng Bin was well aware of the crimes he had committed in the past, so he led his troops to defect to the Kuomintang reactionaries and served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang's Third Column in the Northeast. The third column was later incorporated by Chen Mingren as the 6th Division, and Cheng Bin served as the deputy commander of the 6th Division. The leading unit continued to fight against our army.
After the liberation of Shenyang in October 1948, Cheng Bin led his family south to settle in Beiping. After the peaceful liberation of Peiping in January 1949, Cheng Bin, who saw that the trend had gone, simply forged his resume and mixed with the Ordnance Department of the Logistics Department of the North China Military Region as a cadre.
"Skynet recovered, neglected without leakage". In 1951, Cheng Bin's former guard Liu Qichang recognized him and reported it to the Public Security Bureau, and then, with the approval of Public Security Minister Luo Ruiqing, Cheng Bin, a traitor to the Anti-League who had absconded for 13 years, was arrested at home, and in May of the same year, Cheng Bin was sentenced to death and executed by shooting.
