Wang Yaqiao was known as the "first killer in the Far East" and was a well-known anti-Japanese national hero, and even Chiang Kai-shek almost died at his hands. And Jin Rong they are just the ground snakes on the beach.
Shen Drunken, the head of the secret service of the military command who has been working for many years, commented on him: "Everyone in the world is afraid of the devil, but the devil is afraid of Wang Yaqiao. As soon as Chiang Kai-shek mentioned him, his dentures became sour; if Dai Kasa heard that this person had appeared again, his first reaction was to check whether the doors and windows were closed; and Wang Jingwei's ribs were broken alive by Wang Yaqiao; even the gangsters such as Jin Rong and Du Yuesheng on the beach had to quickly take a detour when they met Wang Yaqiao. "Wang Yaqiao's assassination target is not capped, and if he is given the opportunity, it is the Emperor of Japan, and he will also kill him."
Life of Wang Yaqiao
Wang Yaqiao, zi jiuguang, born in 1889 in Hefei, Anhui Province, has been reading poetry since childhood, is very intelligent, and is good at calligraphy, and has practiced a good martial art. After the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, he supported Sun Yat-sen's revolution. He organized local armed forces in his hometown, and then joined the "Chinese Socialist Party" organization in Nanjing, and in one year, at the age of 23, he developed to 70,000 or 80,000 party members, and had to admire his leadership and organizational ability.
After the defeat of the revolution, Wang Yaqiao came to Shanghai to join the "Anhui Labor Shanghai Hometown Association" and soon led this team into a group that dared to fight with the underworld. At that time, there was a capitalist who was in arrears in the wages of the workers, and Wang Yaqiao led this team, and one of them took an axe to ask for the account, hence the name "Axe Gang". However, because the labor union often did not have money, Wang Yaqiao often went to take over the private work of assassination.
In 1930, he was entrusted by Li Guojie (grandson of Li Hongzhang), chairman of the Anhui Laoxiang Steamship Merchants Bureau, to receive Jiang'an ships, but was rejected by Zhang Yanling (Zhang Xiaolin's nephew), who occupied Jiang'an ships. So Wang Yaqiao led people to blow up a large hole in the back wall of Zhang Xiaolin's mansion with a grenade. At that time, Du Yuesheng said to the disciples of the Qing gang: "They are all willing to fight to the death, our life is better than theirs, everyone is not willing to fight to the death, how can we fight?" Let's put up with it for a while! ”
Later, during the Battle of Songhu, Wang Yaqiao organized a death squad to kill the Japanese army and traitors, and used bombs to force back two Japanese ships, killing the Commander of the Japanese invasion of Shanghai, General Yoshinori Shirakawa, and injuring 11 senior Japanese officials.
Why didn't Jin Rong, Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin dare to provoke Wang Yaqiao?
Wang Yaqiao is a heroic killer, while Jin Jinrong, Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin, although they are gangster leaders, are also businessmen, and although they have force under their hands, they are still a little worse than the killers. Maybe Wang Yaqiao couldn't fight them, but he could hide and decapitate them in secret.
When Zhang Xueliang was once in Shanghai to avoid chaos, Wang Yaqiao hated him for abandoning the anti-Japanese resistance and losing the three northeastern provinces, so he sent the bomb to the door of Zhang Fu and warned him with a note, and finally Du Yuesheng came forward to promise that Zhang Xueliang would leave in a few days, which made Wang Yaqiao stop.
On the surface, Wang Yaqiao's forces could not fight Jin Rong, but he and Jin Rong had never been people in the same world, although they were all gang leaders, but Most of Wang Yaqiao's various behaviors were based on the country and the nation. In contrast, the three giants of Shanghai, Du Yuesheng also made some efforts, Jin Jinrong was hiding at home to avoid trouble, and Zhang Xiaolin actually directly defected to the Japanese, and finally was killed by his own bodyguards.
The three giants such as Jin Rong are typical ground snakes that only lurk on the beach, but Wang Yaqiao's pattern has never been a small Shanghai, he can behead the gang leaders, he can kill high-ranking Japanese officials, and even Chiang Kai-shek and other high-ranking officials of the National Government.
Once Jin Rong was arrested for offending the warlord Lu Yongxiang for a woman. Later, Du Yuesheng and they quickly went out to intercede, and tried their best to save Jin Rong, while Wang Yaqiao was a person who dared to directly assassinate these great warlords, so Wang Yaqiao and them had a different pattern, and there was no comparison between the two sides. In Wang Yaqiao's view, if Jin Rong did not provoke himself, he did not have to pay attention to it, but if these three people provoked himself, he would definitely make the three giants panic for a long time, and even the heads of the people fell to the ground.
Unfortunately, Wang Yaqiao, who was later in love with righteousness, was deceived by his friends and was eventually murdered by Dai Kasa in Wuzhou, Guangxi.
