General Yang Jingyu, the leader of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, was a major problem for the Japanese army. In order to catch Yang Jingyu, the Japanese exhausted all means and resorted to all means. The Japanese army frequently dispatched to encircle and suppress the Northeast Anti-Japanese League, but it could only cause the Anti-Japanese League to suffer losses, and it was still unable to capture Yang Jingyu. In the end, under the coercion and inducement of the Japanese army, Yang Jingyu was betrayed by traitors, resulting in the exhaustion of ammunition and food, and finally died under the round-up of the Japanese army.
It is said that the traitor is a shameful sinner, a traitor who betrayed Yang Jingyu, and after liberation, he fabricated a false identity in an attempt to fool through the customs and escape sanctions. So who is this traitor? What kind of life experience did he have?
First, Cheng Bin was a hot-blooded young man who emerged from the anti-Japanese struggle
In 1912, a baby boy named Cheng Bin was born in Yitong, Jilin Province. He studied as a teenager, attended middle school, and was a cultured and enthusiastic young man. After the Japanese occupied the northeast, they began to implement colonial rule. The 20-year-old Cheng Bin was flesh and blood, he did not want to be a slave to the country, and took the initiative to join the anti-Japanese armed forces.
In 1933, the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army established the First Independent Division of the First Army. In 1935, Cheng Bin was promoted to the commander of the First Division, and he organized a meeting of various armed forces to promote the unification of the local anti-Japanese united front. At that time, the Green Forest people also agreed to cooperate with the Anti-Coalition Action. The ranks of the First Division continued to grow, and Cheng Bin led the troops to achieve many victories.
Second, the Japanese army threatened and seduced, and Cheng Bin rebelled against the revolution
At that time, on the one hand, Japan was attacking the anti-Japanese armed forces head-on, and on the other hand, it was actively plotting rebellion and inducing anti-coalition fighters. Under heavy siege, several anti-Coalition cadres who surrendered gave the Japanese a bad idea. They said that the main force of the Anti-Japanese League was in the First Division, and that the First Division would be destroyed first, so that the Anti-Japanese League would be easy to deal with, and that Cheng Bin, the commander of the First Division, would be able to force him to surrender if he was arrested and his mother was arrested.
The Japanese adopted this suggestion. They rounded up with heavy troops and drove the team of the First Division into the area of the old monk Hat Mountain in Benxi. The soldiers of the First Division had lost contact with the military headquarters, had no supplies, and were surrounded by Japanese and puppet regiments, on the front line of life and death.
In June 1938, the Japanese captured Cheng Bin's mother and brother and used airplanes to distribute leaflets to the anti-coalition forces deep in the dense forest. Cheng Bin was already mentally unsent when he fell under siege by the Japanese army, and now that he knew that his relatives had been captured, he surrendered with 115 members of the 1st Anti-Japanese Division. The other 30 soldiers, who did not want to surrender, left the First Division. After Cheng Bin surrendered, he became the deputy brigade of the Japanese puppet government police brigade.
Before Cheng Bin rebelled, the Japanese puppet army would withdraw to the camp before dark, and the search would continue the next day. For so long in one night, the Anti-League had long since disappeared. Cheng Bin was very familiar with the life and fighting situation of the Anti-Japanese League, and hunting at night was common for him. Since then, during the day, the Japanese puppet army has been searching and arresting, and at night, Cheng Bin has continued to hunt in the mountains and forests. They alternated shifts day and night, leaving the AFB with no respite.
Cheng Bin was familiar with Yang Jingyu's situation and gave advice to the Japanese army. The troops led by Yang Jingyu broke through dozens of blockade lines. Although the breakthrough was successful, the Anti-League itself also suffered huge losses. Cheng Bin was very familiar with Yang Jingyu, and no matter how Yang Jingyu moved after breaking through, Cheng Bin could quickly judge where he was.
Third, the Anti-Japanese Coalition was forced into a desperate situation, and Yang Jingyu was heroically sacrificed
In early 1940, Yang Jingyu led 200 people to move around the Maojiang River. Ding Shoulong of the Guard Brigade defected, and he provided the Japanese with very valuable information such as Yang Jingyu's location and plan of action. The Japanese surrounded Yang Jingyu throughout the mountainous area. Cheng Bin kept shouting at the bottom of the mountain for them to surrender, and some of the fighters of the Anti-Japanese League were shaken.
Later, Yang Jingyu broke through with only six soldiers, and was frantically hunted and killed by the Japanese puppet army. They were killed one and two captured alive. After Cheng Bin identified it on the spot, he said that the deceased was not Yang Jingyu, and the Japanese army increased the intensity of the search. A few days later, Yang Jingyu searched for food and exposed his whereabouts, and was brutally killed by the Japanese puppet army and sacrificed heroically. Cheng Bin confirmed at the scene that the deceased was Yang Jingyu himself. Although Cheng Bin did not personally kill Yang Jingyu, his actions forced Yang Jingyu into a desperate situation step by step, and his crime was damned.
Third, Cheng Bin plays a trick for the tiger and is evil in the four directions
After Yang Jingyu's sacrifice, Cheng Bin was gone on the road to the opposite side of the people. He participated in the Japanese army's walkway against the Eighth Route Army, and did nothing wrong with burning and looting the Chinese people. In August 1945, Cheng Bin knew that the Japanese army was about to surrender, and in order to seek a way back for himself, he executed all 80 Japanese in the army.
After Japan surrendered, Cheng Bin defected to the Kuomintang forces. During the War of Liberation, it confronted the People's Liberation Army. During this period, the peace agreement was even broken, and troops were sent to attack our army's positions. In order to escape the responsibility of the investigation team, he sent people to forge confessions and attacked investigators in disguise of the Eighth Route Army.
The Development and Growth of the People's Liberation Army is like a bamboo. In November 1948, the northeast was liberated. Cheng Bin fled to Beiping with his family and lived an ordinary life in anonymity.
4. Forge identities and join the People's Liberation Army
Not long after Cheng Bin arrived in Beiping, Beiping was peacefully liberated. In order to conceal his identity and conceal his past crimes, he thought of a way, that is, to take the initiative to join the People's Liberation Army under the pseudonym Chen Ziping. Due to his high level of education and relevant experience, he served in the Logistics ordnance Department of the North China Military Region and was soon promoted to deputy section chief.
Cheng Bin was proud, believing that he had successfully deceived the censorship, but he did not expect that disaster would fall from the sky. In the spring of 1951, when it suddenly rained heavily, Cheng Bin hid in a doorway to hide in the rain, but he did not expect to meet an old acquaintance, he was Liu Qichang, a special agent of the military command. As soon as the two met, they knew each other's identities, but neither side was punctured at the time.
According to the relevant archives, it can be known that Liu Qichang was arrested during the town counter-movement, and in order to fight for the opportunity to perform meritorious performance, he reported and denounced Cheng Bin's identity and provided his details. On April 28, 1951, Cheng Bin was arrested, and on May 12, Cheng Bin was shot.
epilogue
When Cheng Bin was young, he was also determined to serve the country and not to be a slave to the country. But it didn't take long for him to defect to the enemy and become a pawn of the Japanese army, a veritable slave. From his experience, it can be seen that the reason for his rebellion is that on the one hand, his life is threatened by death, and on the other hand, his relatives are captured and coerced.
From these reasons, we can see that he is actually a weak-willed and fragile person. Revolutionaries are great because they can overcome their own vulnerability and weakness and become true warriors. If Cheng Bin really can't become a great revolutionary, he can completely live the life of an ordinary person without choosing to fight for the Japanese. But for the sake of glory and wealth, he put the butcher knife on his own compatriots. Such a traitor will always be a disgrace to the nation and a sinner of history!
