In the course of resisting Japan on the mainland, there was a unit that first joined the War of Resistance, and they held out for fourteen years under extremely difficult conditions, that is, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, during which they wrote the most tragic page.
In the past fourteen years, they have never stopped fighting against the enemy,
It has created a brilliant chapter for the victory of the war on the mainland
However, many of their heroes, Haojie, were brutally killed by the enemy, so what was the final outcome?
Today we will talk about it,
The story behind the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army.
Interested friends may wish to pay attention to it, like and support it, so as to watch more wonderful content in time.
General Yang Jingyu
In 1931, Japan was eyeing the territory of the mainland and tried to provoke an incident, and with the occurrence of the Wicker Lake Incident, the Japanese took this opportunity to invade the northeast of the mainland.
Our northeast army brazenly launched a war of aggression against China,
At that time, some of the elite troops of the Northeast Army were in Guannei, but there were still a large number of garrisons outside Guanxi.
If when the Japanese army invaded, they could stand up and resolutely resist, then the Japanese would not occupy the northeast region so easily, but the most critical reason for this incident occurred.
It was still the hesitation of the upper echelons of the Northeast Army
Zhang Xueliang, with the acquiescence of Old Jiang, chose not to fight back.
This directly led to the failure of those defenders left in the northeast to unite and jointly resist the Japanese army, and even some of them defected to the Japanese.
And those elite troops outside the pass did not fight back,
Fortunately, there were still some benevolent people who chose to stick to the anti-Japanese road and resist the Japanese colonial rule on the mainland territory as much as possible.
Soldiers of our army on the battlefield
In fact, since the September 18 incident, the central government has begun to issue a declaration in the local area.
I hope that people from all walks of life will be able to join the ranks of the War of Resistance,
Soon, many local masses and some patriotic officers and men in the army spontaneously formed various anti-Japanese armed forces.
Although these teams are not all under the leadership of our party, their motivation is the protection of the motherland in their hearts and the hatred of the enemy.
Maybe they can't inflict much casualties on the enemy.
But this did not affect their determination to resolutely resist the Japanese.
Establishment of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance
And these armed forces all have the same name, called the Northeast Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army. At this time, Yang Jingyu also learned about the situation in the northeast, and did not say a word.
Resolutely ask your superiors for instructions to go to the northeast region,
He hoped to be able to fight these murderous Japanese troops in the most dangerous places.
Warriors are ambushing
General Yang is actually the most representative figure in this arduous war of resistance, he has lived in a poor family since he was a child, and he has a good quality of integrity and bravery.
For those who insult and scold others at will, he will never tolerate them
He will definitely let the other party taste the humiliation of being humiliated in his own way, even if the other party is a rich and powerful person, he is not afraid.
From these small things, it is enough to prove that he is a man with a heart for the world. When I grow up,
He saw that the country had been being bullied by foreign invaders, and the hatred in his heart suddenly appeared.
Soon, he resolutely joined our party, secretly determined to let him learn to protect his country and people.
Although he suffered a lot of pain and suffering in the process, he never wanted to give up. During his time in underground work,
He has been arrested and imprisoned five times, and has also suffered cruel punishment from the enemy.
But in the end, he still maintained a state of indomitable death, and in the end he did not betray the country and betray our party.
Still
In the course of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army and the Japanese Army, the outbreak of the Jiangqiao War of Resistance made all the Chinese people excited. Until now, we were okay
In the memorial hall, I saw the wreckage of the Japanese aircraft shot down by our army,
You know, this is the first fighter plane to be shot down after the Japanese invaded the mainland territory.
On the fourth day of the Battle of Jiangqiao, our soldiers desperately resisted and finally succeeded in destroying the enemy aircraft, although the entire battle ended in defeat due to the huge gap between the enemy and us
This battle can also be regarded as the first battle that has completely launched the mainland's effective resistance to the aggression of these fascist countries.
From the beginning of its formation to the subsequent armed struggle, this force was formed with the support of our Party. From October 1931,
Our party organization has sent a large number of party members to join the volunteer army
, jointly resisting Japan. For a time, the entire northeast region saw a boom of anti-Japanese resistance.
In the snow and ice
By 1932, the number of volunteers had reached its peak, reaching 300,000. Although the number of people seems to be very high, but the fish and dragons are mixed,
These armed forces do not have a unified command, and many times they fight alone.
In addition, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese should not be underestimated, and when they were attacked by the enemy, they also paid a considerable price.
Some troops were eventually disbanded because of the long fighting, and even more directly chose to retreat to Kannai. In the midst of so many armed forces,
Only a few have been able to maintain unremitting enthusiasm for the war
。 In this year, Yang Jingyu also received a task assigned to him by his superiors, asking him to form a guerrilla group in Southern Manchuria.
Under his unremitting efforts, this team was finally successfully formed, and it was this unit that brought a heavy blow to the Japanese army in the northeast region.
The enemy has always been afraid of it, and General Yang has also been highly praised by the central leadership
。 In order to better attack the Japanese army, he led the soldiers to constantly negotiate with the enemy in the ice and snow, and eventually suffered heavy casualties.
Yang Jingyuning died unyieldingly
The following year, some of the volunteers accepted the invitation of our Party and officially became a member of our Party's anti-Japanese troops. meanwhile
Our Party is also preparing to organize a contingent dedicated to the anti-Japanese resistance.
In September, the first division of the Northeast Anti-Japanese League Revolutionary Army was officially established, and the commander of the division was the famous General Yang, whose number was about 300 people.
When this independent division was established, it also issued a declaration of its establishment, the content of which was also to call on more Chinese compatriots to make concerted efforts against Japanese imperialism.
With the continuous expansion of this contingent, our Party, on the basis of independent divisions,
The First Army was established, and General Yang's position was also promoted to commander.
It was not until 1936 that this unit was officially renamed, and there were eleven corps under it, and the maximum number was more than 30,000 people.
At one time, it became the backbone of the Northeast War of Resistance. But are there really so many facts?
It is said that at that time, when the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition was at its peak, there were actually only more than 6,000 people, and the reason for this was that it was specially used to confuse the enemy.
The Japanese brutally killed
Since 1936, the Northeast Anti-Japanese League and the enemy have fought thousands of times, annihilating more than 10,000 enemies, not only winning the war.
And he also expanded his guerrilla areas into more than seventy,
Since then, their mode of combat has changed from independent operations to working with anti-Japanese troops on the battlefield throughout the country.
Some people once said that most of the heroes of the Anti-Japanese League in the northeast at that time were some reckless men, but what they did not know was that there was no shortage of generals from famous schools, such as those who came from famous schools
We know Zhao Shangzhi, he was once an excellent cadet in the Whampoa Military Academy,
Zhao Yiman studied at Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow.
Many benevolent men and women united to resist Japan
In addition, there are many anti-Japanese heroes, they come from all walks of life, although their identities are different, but in that critical moment of national survival,
The ideals and beliefs in each of them are the same,
All their efforts are aimed at driving the evil aggressors out of our territory once and for all.
soldier
These volunteer armies, led by General Yang and others, launched an organized and planned confrontation against the Japanese army, because the three eastern provinces were first occupied by the Japanese.
Therefore, most of the weapons and equipment have long been occupied by the enemy army, and there are no weapons.
How can warriors better fight against the enemy?
Moreover, the enemy facing at that time was still the most elite Kwantung Army in the Japanese army, and everyone had no way to get any assistance from the outside.
In order to attack the Japanese army, we can only look for some weapons left by the Northeast Army.
Or capture the enemy's weapons after the two sides have engaged, but these will not solve the urgent need, and the speed of replenishment is far less than the rate of consumption.
In desperation, the warriors could only pick up the knives in their hands and fight the enemy to the death. But the most infuriating thing about this process is that
The original aircraft and artillery of the Northeast Army were all occupied by the Japanese army, and the rest of the weapons and equipment were countless
The most important thing is that there are more and more traitors, and these alone have significantly improved the strength of the enemy.
Fight in the snow
The Japanese took advantage of these Chinese and let them take the weapons of the mainland and kill their compatriots, which became a major obstacle for our army to resist Japan. whereas
The Japanese themselves are not in the minority.
The number of people in the puppet army and police system alone has reached about 200,000 people.
With the full outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, countless anti-Japanese armies appeared on various battlefields in the mainland, and Japan was also preparing to fight against the Soviet Union at that time.
As a result, the number of Kwantung Army in the northeast rose sharply.
In addition to those regular troops, the Japanese also set up a large number of garrisons to encircle and intercept the anti-war coalition forces.
There was once a warrior who recalled that when their survival pressure in the northeast was very high, marching in the snow for a long time, causing their pants to be wet all the time,
When blown by the cold wind, the whole leg will be frozen, and there is no way to bend.
Even the most basic walking was very difficult, the shoes had run out, the clothes were torn by the branches, and the cold was all over the body.
Northeast Anti-Corruption League
But this is not the most important thing, the hardest thing is that there is nothing edible, not even grass,
The helpless warriors could only find some bark to nibble on.
How many people survived in this harsh environment. But the fighters of the Anti-Allied Forces were not overwhelmed by the difficulties in front of them.
The warriors survived in this environment, and naturally thought of some countermeasures, they would build a secret camp in some remote cave, or deep in the mountains.
And these camps have some of the materials and food they usually collect, and so on.
In addition to these, they have the most basic residential facilities and defensive devices.
Under normal circumstances, each team will build a number of secret camps in order to ensure normal supply, but also to ensure that after the camp is discovered by the enemy,
Go directly to the next one to replenish
。 Some troops will build their own camps relatively perfectly, which, in addition to the most basic supplies, can also meet their needs for repairing weapons and equipment and manufacturing weapons.
Fight hard
It is precisely because of this plan that the fighters of the Anti-League can maintain high-intensity combat capabilities in the face of the enemy's crazy attack.
The Japanese army tried everything it could, but there was still no way to eliminate the anti-coalition fighters
So they invested more troops, even at the cost of paying a big price.
But whenever they find a fighter with the Anti-League, they will frantically pursue it and will never let it go easily. Of course, the difficulties facing our army do not stop there.
Due to the vast territory of the northeast region of the mainland, the population is only about 30 million,
Therefore, there is a state of sparse population.
Under the siege of the enemy, the warriors can only move in the deep mountains and old forests, and sometimes live in some villages, at the same time,
Everyone will also mobilize some of the surrounding masses and call on everyone to resolutely resist Japan.
The Japanese army was not very good at fighting in the mountains and forests.

Coupled with the fact that the northeast was in a severe cold period at that time, if an attack was launched in this extreme weather condition, it would cause serious casualties to the Japanese army.
To avoid this from happening, the Japanese thought of a great way
That is, the group tribal system, they will gather some scattered residents together and force them to move to their designated places to live.
After that, they will also unify their management, for those who do not obey,
They would burn and loot the places where these people lived until their houses were destroyed.
According to incomplete statistics, in the year after 1937 alone, the number of villages burned down by the Japanese army reached more than 120, of which there were about 24,000 houses.
More than 13,000 ordinary people were killed and frozen to death by them. I have to say that this system is really effective for the Japanese army, not only can reduce their own losses,
It can also better isolate the local people from all kinds of support for the anti-coalition forces
。 Since they implemented this plan, the fighters of the Anti-Japanese League have been unable to live in the homes of ordinary people.
martyr
It is no exaggeration to say that at that time, many villages could not see a single person within a hundred miles, and after the Japanese gathered these residents together, they would set up many strongholds in the vicinity, so
The fighters of the Anti-Japanese League wanted to mobilize the masses, and it was even more difficult than ascending to the heavens.
At this time, the number of fighters in the Northeast Anti-Japanese League had been sharply reduced to about two thousand.
General Yang Jingyu was betrayed miserably
At this difficult and difficult time, General Yang's men actually chose to defect to the enemy, and this person was one of the division commanders he trusted the most.
General Yang used him very much, but he was tempted by the Japanese.
Directly led more than a hundred of his men to defect and formed a special advance team.
Later, with their familiarity with the previous troops, they provided a lot of information to the Japanese army, and in this way, the soldiers were forced into a desperate situation step by step.
But these things didn't really bring it down.
What pained him most was the betrayal of another man, his guard platoon leader.
Northeast Army
The relationship between the two of them is like a relative, Zhang Xiufeng has no father and no mother since childhood, and he has grown up by relying on him to support him, but he did not expect anything.
The child he raised with his own hands actually became a completely ungrateful person
The most hateful thing was that he also told the Japanese the whereabouts of the troops.
It was precisely because of his betrayal that General Yang was completely separated from his own men under the siege and interception of the enemy, and finally fled to a deep mountain.
The whole mountain was covered in snow, and there was nothing edible on his body
。 At this time, a villager named Zhao Yanxi and several companions encountered the figure of the Japanese searching on the way up the mountain to cut firewood.
They knew that the reason why the Japanese sent so many troops must be looking for General Yang, who had been besieged in the mountains for five days.
The Japanese army also strictly forbade the common people to bring grain up the mountain.
It was to prevent them from sneaking grain to him.
Smoke filled the air
After that, Zhao Yanxi and the others hurriedly bypassed the range where the Japanese devils were located, and just as they were about to go down the mountain, they suddenly saw the figure of General Yang in front of them.
After looking closely, I found that he was already very embarrassed
His clothes were already tattered, and his face was full of frostbite and weakness.
However, his eyes did not reveal any painful feelings, just took out some money from his pocket, wanted to buy some grain from the hands of these people, Zhao Yanxi looked at him, his heart was a little sad, and then he began to persuade him.
If you really can't do it, surrender.
After listening to these words, he just calmly said: "If all the Chinese choose to surrender, is there still China?" ”
In just one sentence, he can see the weight of the country in his heart, even if he sacrifices himself, he will not do anything to betray the motherland. however
Not everyone will be like him, swearing allegiance to his country,
After Zhao Yanxi left, he was afraid that the Japanese would find them, so he directly reported the whereabouts of General Yang to the Japanese.
Japanese Invaders
They seemed to have forgotten that they were still a Chinese, if it were not for the protection of the common people, how could General Yang be forced into a desperate situation. soon
The enemy has come to his position quickly,
When he realized that he had been betrayed, it was already too late, and General Yang at this time had no strength to escape.
Frostbite on his feet caused him to endure severe pain with every step he took, and he also developed symptoms of fever.
Even with all your might, there is no way to escape the pursuit of so many enemies
On February 23, he was surrounded by enemy regiments, and eventually preferred to die, and was killed by the enemy.
After this incident, the enemy did not stop mutilating him, and then he peeled off his abdomen raw, just to know what he really was
How to persist in this difficult environment for so many days
。 However, the result shocked everyone, except for the bark, which was cotton. His sacrifice was devastating for all the Coalition forces.
Northeast
It has to be said that such an example is very rare in the entire history of war. After that, several generals of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance discussed and decided,
Led the troops to temporarily retreat to the territory of the Soviet Union as a way to preserve their strength.
After some conversation, the Soviet Union very cheerfully agreed to this, and promised them some help.
The Soviet Union agreed to this for some reasons of its own. In 1939, a war broke out between Japan and the Soviet Union.
At that time, the battle ended in the victory of the Soviet Union.
At this time, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army chose to withdraw into the Soviet Union, which could also avoid the Soviet Union from falling into the dilemma of combat again.
For the Soviet Union, this matter was beneficial and harmless. From the middle of 1940, the main force of this force came to the Soviet Union, where they were stationed in sparsely populated and very hidden places.
The warriors were finally able to take a break.
In the blink of an eye, the time came to 1945, when the Japanese army had occupied the northeast for thirteen years, and the entire World War II had entered the final stage.
Armament
In August, the Soviet Union again declared war on Japan
This is the best opportunity for the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition team to fight a decisive counterattack.
Therefore, under the overall arrangement of the Soviet side, they were reorganized into the independent Eighty-eighth Brigade, and together with the Soviet army, they advanced into the northeast of the mainland.
The Japanese have lost too much on the battlefield before, and now compared with the Soviet Union, the combat effectiveness is even more different, after the fierce fierce battle between the two sides,
The Japanese Kwantung Army, which was entrenched in the tohoku region, collapsed completely.
It was not until September that the generals of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Resistance League got in touch with other units of our army and successfully returned to the embrace of the organization.
From 1931 to 1945, the Northeast Allied Forces paid a terrible price in the fourteen years of the War of Resistance, but they were also the longest-lasting units.
No army has ever been as tenacious as they are, whether soldiers or generals.
They have all dedicated their lives to the country.
Without any support and help, the scarcity of food and medicine, the extreme weather and the pursuit of the enemy, these have caused them an incalculable cost,
Even in harsh circumstances, they did not give up
After circling with the enemy for such a long time, he successfully exchanged nearly 170,000 casualties from the enemy.
It is precisely because of this persistence that they made indelible contributions to the entire War of Resistance Against Japan. Then today's video content ends here, everyone has any views can leave a message in the comment area below, we will see you in the next issue.
