In the 1920s, a young man from Anhui convened a young man from Anhui to organize an Anhui Labor Shanghai Hometown Association in Shanghai, and with the development of prosperity, more and more young people joined the organization, so it was later renamed the Axe Gang in Shanghai.
The leader of the Axe Gang, the young man from Anhui, was Wang Yaqiao, who was later known as the first killer of the Republic of China, and the four most powerful generals in the Axe Gang, known as the Four Great Kongs, also participated in the War of Resistance Against Japan after his death, and two of them even held high-ranking officials and heavy positions after the founding of New China.
The first killer of the Republic of China
The establishment of the Axe Gang came from the confrontation between capitalism and the people at the bottom, a capitalist in Shanghai who owed wages to the dock coolies, and that night, Wang Yaqiao asked all the blacksmith shops in Shanghai to build more than a hundred sharp axes and called on more than a hundred workers to go to the capitalist compound.
When more than a hundred dock workers appeared in the palatial compound with sharp axes, all labor disputes were resolved in an instant. After this battle, the name of the Axe Gang was known to everyone in Shanghai. After Wang Yaqiao became the leader of the Axe Gang, he also began his career as the world's number one killer.
At that time, there were many members along the Shanghai foreign front, and almost every low-level people who were busy with their lives joined the Axe Gang, and these people became his unique eyeliner, and Wang Yaqiao was the first to know about the wind and grass in the whole of Shanghai.
The first shot of Wang Yaqiao's killer career was fired at Xu Guoliang, who was holding 7,000 police officers at the time and was also the commander-in-chief of the former enemy in Zhejiang. On November 10, 1923, Xu Guoliang, who had just taken a bath, was shot in the street by two gunmen in full view of the public.
The most glorious thing is the assassination at the victory celebration meeting of the Songhu War, when the Japanese army general Shirakawa Yoshinori casually picked up a mineral water bottle at the meeting, but was blown to the skin, Wang Yaqiao's name was completely launched all over the country, and Shirakawa Yoshinori also became the highest-ranking Japanese officer killed in China.
Like him, Wang Yaqiao was poisoned by Aoi Shigemitsu, the Japanese minister to China, and Lieutenant General Kenkichi Ueda, the commander of the Ninth Division, who lost one of their own thighs. After this battle, Wang Yaqiao was crowned as the number one killer in the Far East, and he was also called "the devil of China" by the Japanese.
However, he often walks by the river, even if there are not wet shoes, the hero will always lose his hand, but Wang Yaqiao paid the price of life this time. Wang Yaqiao boldly pointed his cold bayonet at Chiang Kai-shek, and he launched the Lushan assassination case that was sensational in China at that time.
Unfortunately, this assassination ended in failure, just like the result of Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin 1,800 years ago. Wang Yaqiao himself was assassinated in 1936 by the enraged Chiang Kai-shek spy Wang Dai, and after Wang Yaqiao's death, his axe gang was leaderless and eventually disintegrated.
The Four Great Vajrayogini
During the period when the Axe Gang was in full swing, there were four famous Kongs in the gang, who were Wang Yaqiao's rare right and left arms, they were Zheng Baozhen, Yu Likui, Yu Yanong, and Hua Kezhi.
Yu Yanong was born in 1887 in Shou County, Anhui Province, and as a gang elder, he was even two years older than Wang Yaqiao, so in the gang, Wang Yaqiao had great respect for him. The revolutionary elements in Yu Yanong's bones were three points into the wood, followed Sun Yat-sen against the Qing, participated in the alliance meeting, and also made a lot of efforts in the overthrow of Yuan.
He and Wang Yaqiao became acquainted with Shanghai, when Wang Yaqiao was studying how to create an explosion in the French Concession, but who would study this thing became the biggest problem at that time, to know that the technology was very backward at that time, and a little carelessness fell into a crushed end.
Just when everyone was silent and did not dare to come out, Yu Yanong stepped forward and said with confidence that even if something happened, he could be regarded as contributing to the revolution. Unexpectedly, at this time, the bomb exploded unexpectedly during the manufacturing process, and Yu Yanong was seriously injured by the explosion, and was also arrested by the police of the French Concession and imprisoned.
Later, after wang Yaqiao's perseverance and perseverance, he was rescued three months later, and Yu Yanong had to say that he was really an excellent mass of patriotism and love for the party, and immediately joined the army and joined the brigade commander of the Eighth Brigade of the National Coalition Army, and then served as the commander of the 84th Division of the 34th Army.
However, after seeing clearly that Chiang Kai-shek had put the people in the water and fire, regardless of his true face, he joined the Communist Party and had been struggling on the front line of the war. In 1959, Yu Yanong died of illness at the age of 72.
The four great Kongs are Zheng Baozhen
Zheng Baozhen is Wang Yaqiao's Anhui hometown, ranking third among the brothers, so in his hometown Shou County is also known as Zheng Sanye, Zheng Sanye is proud and righteous, yi Bo Yuntian as long as the name of the third master is mentioned in the county, there is no one who does not give a thumbs up.
In 1926, Zheng Baozhen and his eldest brother Zheng Shaocheng formed a civilian armed force to follow the Kuomintang revolutionary army in the Northern Expedition against Japan. But like the Yu Yanong brothers, after seeing chiang Kai-shek's true face, he resolutely resigned and joined Wang Yaqiao's axe gang.
In the Axe Gang, Zheng Baozhen was involved in major events such as the killing of Shirakawa Yoshinori. Later, the Axe Gang was disbanded, and Zheng Baozhen returned to his hometown to resist Japan, and the people in his hometown heard that Zheng Baozhen had returned and rushed to tell each other, saying that the Third Master would not be afraid of Japanese devils when he returned.
Zheng Baozhen resisted Japan in his hometown, and he wanted people to have people, and he wanted the gun landlord to give guns without stinginess, but the strength of the civilian troops was limited after all, and Zheng Baozhen later led his fellow soldiers to join the New Fourth Army at that time, serving as the commander of the Huainan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Column of the Fourth Detachment of the New Fourth Army, and following the Communist Party to resist Japan in the southern and northern battles, charging into the battlefield.
Later, after the founding of New China, because of the high respect among the local people, Zheng Baozhen served as the first mayor of Hefei. On December 12, 1954, Zheng Baozhen died in Shanghai at the age of 57.
brief summary:
No matter which member of the Axe Gang was a hero who dared to resist in the era when the people were not happy, zheng Baozhen, Wang Yaqiao, Yu Yanong, and others, they promoted good and eliminated evil, black and white were clear, and they worked hard in the War of Resistance Against Japan, regarded death as a homecoming, and made great contributions to the establishment of new China, and they were worthy of the word hero from beginning to end.
