During the Anti-Japanese War, a member of the Axe Gang rushed into the Huangpu River with a cart of Japanese Kou, less than thirty years old
When you think of the Axe Gang, everyone thinks of the gang in "Kung Fu". In fact, there have really been axe gangs in the history of our country, but they are completely different from what we see in film and television works. Members of the Axe Gang during the War of Resistance Against Japan rushed into the Huangpu River with a cart of Japanese Kos, who was not yet thirty years old at the time. Want to know what the real Axe Gang looks like? Xiaobian takes you to understand.
In 1921, China did form an Axe Gang. This gang is completely different from other gangs, and its members are a group of dock workers who are mostly Anhui people, rather than a criminal gang of hooligans. They formed a gang mainly to deal with other gangs and the wealthy merchants who oppressed the workers.
The leader of the Axe Gang and the other gang bosses are also completely different, and although the Axe Gang leader Wang Yaqiao is known as the Murderous Demon King, he is a scholar. Wang Yaqiao once took the examination for the imperial examination at the end of the Qing Dynasty and was ranked in the top ten, but he did not meet with talent, and he was extremely disappointed in the government, so he went into exile and became a gang member.
After Wang Yaqiao established the Axe Gang, he gradually became a well-known figure in Shanghai. Even Jin Rong, Du Yuesheng, and Zhang Xiaolin, who were known as the three tycoons at that time, did not dare to easily provoke Wang Yaqiao. It was enough to see Wang Yaqiao's position at that time.
Wang Yaqiao as an axe gang helper, he is more like a patriotic angry youth. He was a revolutionary pioneer and responded to the Xinhai Revolution. Later, Wang Yaqiao even threatened Zhang Xueliang, Wang Jingwei, Song Ziwen and other powerful figures of the National Government. In the eyes of others, Wang Yaqiao is a murderous demon king, and in the eyes of the Japanese invaders, Wang Yaqiao is a terrifying figure.
Under the leadership of Wang Yaqiao, the Axe Gang became an organized and disciplined gang. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the iron-blooded gang formed by members of the Axe Gang came into being. And the leader of this hoe gang is Wang Yaqiao, the leader of the Axe Gang who is known as the "First Killer of the Republic of China". Since then, Wang Yaqiao and his Axe Gang have carried out anti-Japanese activities in their own way.
Under the leadership of Wang Yaqiao, the Iron-Blooded Hoe Gang used strange tricks to complete the assassination plan many times. They assassinate Shirakawa Yoshinori with a time bomb in a boiling water bottle, causing Shirakawa to die of his wounds. And this Japanese became the highest-ranking Japanese officer killed in China.
This assassination greatly encouraged the determination to resist Japan and dealt a blow to the aggressive forces of the Japanese Kou. Later, Wang Yaqiao was called "the first killer of the Far East" and "the devil of China" by the Japanese Kou, and through these titles, it is enough to see the weight of Wang Yaqiao in the hearts of the Japanese.
It can be said that the members of the Axe Gang are not like the ones we see in film and television works, they are flesh and blood Chinese. When the country is in danger, they can still stand up. Although they were just coachmen, they relied on the way of coachmen to fight against the invaders. Among the Axe Gang, a man named Wang Amao, who is also a member of the Hoe Gang.
By chance, he was stopped by Riko in a truck. The Japanese asked them to help transport arms and troops, and the story of the Axe Gang members pulling a cart of Japanese troops into the Huangpu River occurred. In this way, Wang Amao and a car of Japanese troops perished together. In that year, Wang Amao had not yet reached the year of establishment.
Objectively speaking, the Axe Gang is a bit extreme, but the Axe Gang is very different from other gangs, they are a group of flesh and blood Chinese, in their own way to repay the motherland, and dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the invaders.
