He is a hero admired by the people of his country, and he is also a presence that makes the enemy army feel frightened. In the case of running out of ammunition, he and Rikou circled in the ice and snow, and finally died heroically
。
This great hero was called Yang Jingyu, and the Japanese general, after cutting open his body and seeing his stomach, actually burst into tears on the spot, and even committed suicide by cutting his abdomen after returning to China.
So what exactly did this Japanese soldier see? Why did he choose to commit suicide after returning to China?
Yang Jingyu
Yang Jingyu's life experience
In 1931, the "918" incident, the shameless Japanese government tried to conquer china by force, which was strongly resisted by the northeast troops, and it was at this time that Yang Jingyu, the great anti-Japanese hero of our country, applied to go to the northeast to fight the Japanese army.
That year, the Communist Party sent him to take charge of the leadership of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation, and later made him an important position in the Chinese Communist Party, that is, the first secretary of the Harbin Municipal Party Committee.
Since then, this remarkable progressive young man's anti-Japanese career has been on the right track.
And heroes don't happen overnight. In 1905, Yang Jingyu was born in a poor family in Zhumadian, Henan, because of the early death of his father and the poor family, Yang Jingyu was very sensible at a young age.
Because Yang Jingyu was born with a strong sense of justice and a relatively strong physique, he would always help some bullied children.
In 1923, Yang Jingyu entered a university in Henan Province. In school, he was inspired by our Party to begin to participate in revolutionary activities in secret, and also engaged in the peasant movement in Qashan under the dispatch of the Party.
In order to better participate in the peasant movement, Yang Jingyu said goodbye to his relatives in 1927, and he never returned after this trip.
During the peasant movement, Yang Jingyu was arrested five times, and each time he was subjected to extremely cruel punishments, but he never gave in or abandoned his faith. From this incident, it was enough to see the firmness of Yang Jingyu's human nature.
In 1929, Yang Jingyu was sent to work in the northeast, during which time he had been fighting against the Japanese puppet army. In fact, Yang Jingyu's earliest name was Ma Shangde, but in order to better hide his identity, he changed his name several times.
Initially, he followed the "Yang" of the previous anti-Japanese guerrilla Yang surname political commissar and gave himself a name called Yang Zhanshan; later, in order to show his firm ambition, he changed his name to Yang Jinzhi.
On one occasion he heard a subordinate with an accent call "Yang Jingyu" "Yang Jingyu", and "Jing" had a meaning of "pingding", which coincided with Yang Jingyu's desire to calm the war.
He was moved by his thoughts, and finally decided to change his name to "Yang Jingyu", and in this way, a name that would be passed down through the ages in the future was born.
After that, the September 18 Incident broke out, and Yang Jingyu became the secretary of the Harbin Municipal Party Committee of our party. The following year, Yang Jingyu formed a guerrilla group.
Under the leadership of Yang Jingyu, this guerrilla force dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army in the northeast region, and many Japanese troops were shuddered when they heard the name of this guerrilla group.
At that time, in order to praise Yang Jingyu's great contributions, the top level of our party also called him a model of resistance against the enemy.
In 1935, the Communists established the Anti-Japanese Coalition Army in the northeast and appointed Yang Jingyu as the commander of the First Army, and also served as the political commissar.
After the troops grew, Yang Jingyu led the First Route Army of the coalition army to move in Shenyang, Dandong and other places in the northeast, actively resisting the Japanese Kou, and killing the Japanese with hundreds or thousands of troops.
Because the Japanese army could not stand such a blow, it gave Yang Jingyu's troops a nickname, called "cancer of social security.". This title was enough to see the strength of Yang Jingyu's troops.
By September 1939, because the Japanese army was increasingly strong, Yang Jingyu had to disperse his forces and personally lead a small team to meet the Second Route Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army.
That's when the accident happened.
Yang Jingyu and Rikou were circling
In this world, there are people like Yang Jingyu who are determined to resist foreign enemies and sacrifice their lives; but there are also greedy people who are afraid of death and selfish.
In the winter of 1940, Yang Jingyu led his troops to the Mengjiang area of Jilin Province, and the Japanese Kwantung Army, which hated Yang Jingyu to the bone, had already issued an order to hunt down Yang Jingyu in a "comb grate-style" method and was bound to eliminate him.
In the long battle, Yang Jingyu's troops had already damaged countless soldiers.
At this moment of crisis, Cheng Bin, commander of the First Division of the First Army under Yang Jingyu, secretly surrendered himself to the enemy and surrendered to the Japanese army with 115 soldiers in his army, betraying Yang Jingyu.
In order to show loyalty to the Japanese army, Cheng Bin even burned more than 70 supply depots in the troops, and the materials of Yang Jingyu's troops disappeared in an instant. After this, Cheng Bin also personally led the Japanese army to surround Yang Jingyu.
After Cheng Bin's rebellion, Yang Jingyu's adopted son Zhang Xiufeng also pulled the guard platoon and took a large amount of anti-coalition funds to the enemy camp, and it is lamentable that he was taken by Yang Jingyu from the age of 15 until he was raised to adulthood, and was later appointed as a guard platoon leader.
His betrayal was undoubtedly another heavy blow to Yang Jingyu, who was already in deep trouble at that time, and at this time, there were only two soldiers left by Yang Jingyu's side.
Late at night, Yang Jingyu had to rest in a shack in the mountains due to a serious cold.
The soldiers around him, Nie Donghua and Zhu Wenfan, took the opportunity to sneak into Dadonggou and wanted to buy some grain from the residents, but they did not expect that as soon as they stepped into the village, they were surrounded by dozens of Japanese and puppet legions.
Unwilling to admit Yang Jingyu's whereabouts, the two soldiers engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese puppet army. Half an hour later, the two were shot and killed.
After the death of the two men, the Japanese puppet army found Yang Jingyu's seal from the belongings they carried, and the enemy army determined that Yang Jingyu was not far away.
So they quickly narrowed the scope of the roundup and forbade the surrounding villagers not to bring lunch when entering the mountain, with the purpose of starving Yang Jingyu to death.
At this time, Yang Jingyu had been waiting in the shack for a long time, because he was too hungry and had no food, he could only eat elm bark to fill his hunger.
On the morning of Yang Jingyu's arrest, villager Zhao Yanxi and several fellow villagers went up the mountain to cut firewood. The snow fell heavily that day, and several people had a hard time walking.
After turning a corner, a tall figure dressed in tattered cotton clothes suddenly appeared in front of several villagers, holding silver money and wanting to buy some grain from these villagers.
When the villagers saw his appearance, they immediately understood that he was Yang Jingyu, whom the Japanese puppet army had always wanted to capture. Zhao Yan was pleased to see that Yang Jingyu was so depressed, so he persuaded him to surrender to the Japanese puppet army, but Yang Jingyu heard about it and resolutely rejected him.
Because the Japanese army did not allow the villagers to bring grain when they went up the mountain, the villagers could only go down the mountain first, and Zhao Yanxi, who was greedy and afraid of death, secretly reported Yang Jingyu to the Japanese puppet army in order to protect himself. After receiving the news, the Japanese puppet army immediately drove up the mountain.
After hearing the movements of the Japanese puppet army, Yang Jingyu burned all the documents on his body and launched a final struggle with these Japanese.
After killing several Japanese soldiers, a machine gunner under Cheng Bin named Zhang Xiruo killed him in front of a large tree, when Yang Jingyu was only 35 years old.
The Japanese officer committed suicide in shame
After Yang Jingyu's death, the Japanese puppet army rushed to bring him back to the Headquarters of the Japanese Army in The county seat of Maojiang County, and found reporters to take pictures, and also let the traitors identify Yang Jingyu's body.
In the early morning of the next day, Japanese officer Takaichiro Kishitani ordered several traitors to join forces to cut Yang Jingyu's head down with a knife.
Curious about what Yang Jingyu had eaten during the days he had been hiding in the mountains, Kishitani Ryuichiro ordered his subordinates to cut open his stomach and found that there was no grain in it.
After that, the Japanese army cut off his stomach and sent it for testing, and the results showed that Yang Jingyu's stomach had no other contents except cotton wool and bark, that is to say, in the five days and nights of being besieged by the Japanese army, Yang Jingyu completely ate the bark cotton wool and survived
The Officers and Men of the Japanese Army who learned of the test results were very shocked, and an unspeakable admiration and fear surged into their hearts, making them can't help but shed tears.
The enemy from Japan could not help but shed tears for the death of the Chinese general, and even Kishitani Ryuichiro lamented that Yang Jingyu was a great hero.
After that, the Japanese army collected Yang Jingyu's hollowed head into a box, toured the city of Tonghua Province, and then sent to Changchun.
At this time, vice changde No, the commander of a unit of the Japanese Kwantung Army, said that after Yang Jingyu's death, he always felt that someone was calling for me to return my head while he was sleeping.
Therefore, in order to appease the commander, Kishitani Ryuichiro hastily dug up Yang Jingyu's body and installed a wooden carving head.
On March 5, 1940, the hypocritical Japanese army held a consolation sacrifice for Yang Jingyu in a Guandi temple, and the local people also took this opportunity to mourn the anti-Japanese hero Yang Jingyu in their hearts.
In 1945, Japan announced its surrender. After Yang Jingyu established the government at the expense of Yang Jingyu, our party immediately began to prepare for the reburial of Yang Jingyu's hero.
The following year, the repair of Yang Jingyu's tomb was completed, and Maojiang County was renamed Jingyu County. In front of the hero's tombstone, in addition to Cheng Bin, who was killed at the scene in the town rebellion, several other traitors were shot.
The part of the Japanese army that killed Yang Jingyu at that time had already returned to their homeland before Japan's defeat, and Kishitani Ryuichiro was one of them.
After witnessing the corpse of General Yang Jingyu, he has never been able to forget Yang Jingyu's heroic feats, and his heart is both shocked and guilty. At the same time, he was helpless against Japan's defeat.
In desperation, the Japanese general wrote a suicide note in which Kishitani Ryuichiro said:
Because of the existence of such a hero as Yang Jingyu, he felt that this invasion of China was unwise, because he saw from Yang Jingyu that China would not perish.
Perhaps unable to face the consequences of the country's defeat, or perhaps feeling guilty about Yang Jingyu and other Chinese, after writing the letter, Kishitani Ryuichiro poisoned his wife and children to death, and he also committed suicide by cutting his stomach.
Sure enough, shortly after his death, Japan also declared defeated.
In 1948, our party liberated Changchun, and Liu Yaguang, an underground party worker of our party, found the remains of Hero Yang Jingyu in Changchun Medical College.
On December 25, the head of hero Yang Jingyu was welcomed into a martyrs' memorial hall in Harbin. In this way, the heroic soul of Yang Jingyu, who had been floating for many years, was finally buried.
