Yang Jingyu was a proletarian revolutionary and military figure, one of the founders of the Eyu-Anhui Soviet Region and the Red Army, one of the main founders and leaders of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, and a famous anti-Japanese national hero. At 4:30 p.m. on February 23, 1940, due to the betrayal of traitors, Yang Jingyu was still stubbornly fighting with a large number of Japanese kosovars in the dense forest alone, but unfortunately he was shot several times and martyred, at the age of 35. Immediately, the fierce Japanese fascists cut off the head of General Yang Jingyu, causing the hero's body to be separated.
It was not until 1958, the 18th anniversary of the martyrdom of General Yang Jingyu, that geng geng's loyal bones, who had experienced hundreds of battles, and Na Ning's dead and high head were docked together and buried in public sacrifice.
Yang Jingyu, whose original name was Ma Shangde, joined the Communist Party of China in 1927, led the Queshan Peasants' Uprising and the Liudian Autumn Harvest Rebellion, and founded the Eyu-Anhui Soviet Zone Red Army Special Action Brigade, successively serving as the captain of the brigade and the secretary of the Henan Special Committee.
In 1929, the CPC Central Committee sent Yang Jingyu to the northeast to create a revolutionary base area and lead the people of the northeast to carry out revolutionary struggles, successively serving as president of the Northeast Anti-Japanese General Association, secretary of the Harbin Municipal CPC Committee and secretary of the Military Commission of the Acting Manchurian Provincial CPC Committee, commander and political commissar of the First Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, secretary of the CPC South Manchurian Provincial Committee, commander-in-chief and political commissar of the First Route Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, and other leading positions. He was elected as a member of the Central Executive Committee of the Chinese Soviet Republic and a member of the Preparatory Committee for the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
During the extremely arduous period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Yang Jingyu unswervingly and resolutely carried out the instructions of the CPC Central Committee on "all-out containment of the enemy," led the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army to switch to Liaoning and Jilin Provinces, fought a bloody battle with the Japanese and Koukou between the White Mountains and Black Waters, commanded more than a hundred battles, such as the surprise attack on Sanyuanpu, the wisdom of taking Liangshui Hezi, and the capture of the Badaojiang River, inflicting heavy blows on the Japanese and puppet armies, threatening the three northeastern provinces, and effectively cooperating with the nationwide War of Resistance Against Japan.
In February 1940, due to the betrayal of traitors, Yang Jingyu and his troops were surrounded by Japanese regiments. Subsequently, Yang Jingyu organized his troops to break through separately, and in the case of running out of ammunition and food, he was still alone and tenaciously fought with a large number of Japanese kosovars in the dense forest for five days and nights. At 4:30 p.m. on the 23rd, in the deep mountain dense forest of Bao'an Village, 6 kilometers southwest of mengjiang County (present-day Jingyu County), in the high mountain terrace canyon of Changbai Mountain, he was unfortunately shot several times and martyred at the age of 35.
On the evening of the same day, the fierce Japanese invaders, Masahachiro Furumi, captain of the Japanese Army's Southern Manchurian Crusade, and Takaichiro Kishitani, director of the police department and chief of the police department of the puppet Tonghua Province, directed the Japanese army and police to transport the body of General Yang Jingyu back to the Xiangjiang County People's Hospital with a climbing plow.
At the request of the Japanese fascists, Jin Yuanlian, president of the Xiangjiang County People's Hospital, performed an autopsy on the body of General Yang Jingyu at night. When General Yang Jingyu's body was cut open, only a small amount of bark, grass roots, and cotton wool that had not yet been digested were found in the gastrointestinal tract, but not a single grain of grain was found.
The Japanese officers who personally witnessed the entire autopsy could not help but be very surprised, and they also had great admiration for General Yang Jingyu in their hearts, and it was difficult to imagine that the senior commanders of the Chinese army did not have a grain of grain in the true sense of the word in their stomachs.
Admiration returned to admiration, and the cruel Japanese fascists immediately ordered the traitor Cheng Bin to cut off the head of General Yang Jingyu. Cheng Bin's subordinate Zhang Xiruo personally handled the knife and cruelly used the knife to cut off the head of General Yang Jingyu.
In order to stir up and disintegrate the fighting spirit of the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in northeast China, the Japanese fascists used cameras to take pictures of the head of General Yang Jingyu, and rinsed several sacks of marijuana, tens of thousands of sheets, and used military aircraft to airdrop them to the area where the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army often operated, showing off their so-called "victory."
Not only that, but the Japanese fascists also hung the head of General Yang Jingyu on a car and "paraded the streets" in the counties and towns of the pseudo-Tonghua Province for three days. Subsequently, the Japanese fascists sent the head of General Yang Jingyu to the headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army in Xinjing (present-day Changchun, Jilin), the capital of puppet Manchukuo, to ask for merit and reward.
In Shinjing, the head of General Yang Jingyu was soaked in a bottle by the Japanese Kwantung Army Command with a special medical potion and stored in the Medical Department of the Japanese Kwantung Army Command.
In 1945, the Japanese fascists were defeated and surrendered, and the War of Resistance Against Japan ended in victory. The Medical Department of the Kwantung Army Headquarters was fully taken over by changchun medical college, including all equipment and facilities.
After receiving the news of the heroic martyrdom of General Yang Jingyu, the CPC Central Committee was very shocked, and while being deeply sad, it actively searched for the general's head in many ways, but found nothing.
In early September 1948, Feng Zhongyun, then chairman of Songjiang Province, received a letter from a university graduate named Li Zhanzhang from Harbin Daowai Puluo Hospital. The letter states that when Li Zhanzhang was attending a class at the Changchun Medical College in Xinjing, the capital of puppet Manchukuo, he had seen two specimens of human heads in alcohol jars in the autopsy room, the older of which was most likely General Yang Jingyu.

After reading the letter, Feng Zhongyun attached great importance to it, did not dare to slacken off, and immediately made a report to the party organization. At the same time, Feng Zhongyun sent people to secretly infiltrate the Changchun Medical College in The new capital of Manchukuo, and finally confirmed the head of General Yang Jingyu.
After receiving the undoubted news, Feng Zhongyun was very excited and immediately reported it to the Northeast Bureau of the CPC Central Committee. Soon, the Northeast Bureau of the CPC Central Committee immediately instructed the Underground Working Group in Changchun, an enemy-occupied area, of the Liaison Office of the Social Department of the Northeast Bureau to do everything possible to recover the remains of General Yang Jingyu.
The Changchun Underground Working Group assigned Comrade Liu Yaguang, a doctor at Yaguang Hospital and an underground party member, to secretly infiltrate the Changchun Medical College, which was actually controlled by the health team of the Kuomintang Second Cavalry Brigade. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the inspection of the Kuomintang officers and men, Liu Yaguang quietly sneaked into the dissection room, covered the specimen of General Yang Jingyu's body with a layer of black gauze in the name of pulling medical equipment, and smuggled it out unknowingly and hid it in a safe place.
On October 18, 1948, Changchun was successfully liberated. The next day, Chen Guang, commander of the Songjiang Military Region and commander of the Harbin Garrison, welcomed the remains of General Yang Jingyu to Harbin.

Because it has been soaked in a special medical potion, the remains of General Yang Jingyu are well preserved, and the eyebrows and beard are clearly visible. When the black gauze covering the remains was unveiled, Feng Zhongyun, chairman of Songjiang Province, suddenly wept bitterly and was full of grief, this is an old comrade-in-arms who has fought side by side with him for many years, how can he not be familiar with it? Feng Zhongyun had been the political commissar of the Third Route Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, and he was all too familiar with General Yang Jingyu.
On December 25, 1948, the remains of General Yang Jingyu were officially welcomed into the Northeast Martyrs' Memorial Hall and properly preserved.
In order to commemorate the national hero forever, the Jilin Provincial Government renamed Mengjiang County, where General Yang Jingyu died, to Jingyu County. At the same time, in Tonghua, the main activity area of the Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, the Yang Jingyu Martyrs' Cemetery was built. In September 1957, Jingyu Cemetery was successfully completed. On September 25, 1957, the burial ceremony of General Yang Jingyu was solemnly held in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, with the participation of provincial, municipal and military leaders, and finally the statue and head of General Yang Jingyu were held in their hands and sent to the Tonghua Jingyu Martyrs Cemetery by train.
After arriving at the destination, the Party, Government, and Military circles in Tonghua also held a grand ceremony to welcome and return.
On February 23, 1958, the 18th anniversary of the martyrdom of General Yang Jingyu, the General Yang Jingyu Public Sacrifice Burial Committee docked the general's head and body, stamped the national flag on the intact body, and covered the coffin for burial.
At this point, General Yang Jingyu's Geng Geng loyal bones, who had experienced hundreds of battles, and his high head that he would rather die of, finally returned to one place.
On the day of the hero's burial, more than 9,000 people, including representatives of the CPC Central Committee, the State Council, the Ministry of National Defense, and the party, government, and military circles in Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang provinces, as well as General Yang Jingyu's son Ma Congyun and daughter Ma Jinyun, participated in the public funeral activities. State leaders Chairman Mao, Liu Shaoqi, Zhu De, and Zhou Enlai, as well as General Yang Jingyu's Korean comrade-in-arms Kim Il Sung, laid wreaths. Commander-in-Chief Zhu De also wrote an inscription in his own hand: Comrade Yang Jingyu, the people's hero, is immortal!
General Yang Jingyu was named one of the 100 heroic models who made outstanding contributions to the founding of New China.
The skull can be severed or dissected
The spirit is hard to wear
Two thousand years of blue blood
In present-day Chituo Manshan River
We will always remember General Yang Jingyu's heroic deeds of being unyielding, righteous and awe-inspiring, and defending the country and defending the family with flesh and blood.
