The general was betrayed by four of his subordinates, and when he died, his stomach was stuffed with dry grass cotton wool
General Yang Jingyu was famous during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression on the mainland
The anti-Japanese national hero is an important leading force of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army
。
Born in 1905, Yang Jingyu was chased and intercepted by the Japanese army at the age of 35 and finally died.
Yang Jingyu
After the September 18 Incident, the Japanese invaded the northeastern part of the mainland like a fire, and attempted to control the rest of China through the establishment of a puppet Manchurian government.
The people of Northeast China were not willing to be captured by foreigners, and they united as one to form one team after another to resist the Japanese invaders.
Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army
In 1934, in order to cooperate with the national War of Resistance, Yang Jingyu obeyed the order
He served as the commander-in-chief of the First Route Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army
and advantageously delayed the Japanese army in the northeast
At the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Central Committee specially praised the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Brigade represented by Yang Jingyu and praised them
"A model of not being afraid of hardships and hardships and struggles in the ice and snow for more than 7 years."
By 1939, during the autumn and winter operations in southeast Manchuria, he and other commanders implemented the strategy and tactics of fragmenting and dispersing guerrillas. Yang Jingyu led the guard brigade to fight in the Mengjiang area, but the scattered fighting methods were ultimately outnumbered.
In the northeast of the white mountains and black waters, in the snow where ice and snow covered the entire fertile land, Yang Jingyu was alone and fought with the enemy for five days and five nights.
On February 23 of the following year, Yang Jingyu was found dead by the enemy at Sandaozi in Mengjiang, Jilin Province.
When the brutal Japanese army cut off the head of General Yang Jingyu and cut open his body, it was found
His stomach was full of dry grass, bark, cotton wool, and there was no half grain
They were all shocked.
The Japanese general Takaichiro Kishitani was deeply touched in his heart. According to historical records, this executioner, who was previously extremely fierce, "grew much older in one day."
After he studied the psychology of The Chinese Anti-Japanese Generals. In the end, he felt guilty and committed suicide after poisoning his wife and children. In his will, he wrote:
"It may not be appropriate for His Majesty the Emperor to launch this war of aggression against China. If China has a predatory soldier like Yang Jingyu, he will certainly not die. ”

Who could have known that in the midst of this icy and snowy land, General Yang Jingyu, who ran out of ammunition, had a chance to survive?
This brings us to the four traitors around Yang Jingyu.
They are
Cheng Bin, Zhang Xiufeng, Zhao Tingxi, Zhang Xiruo
After the rebellion, Cheng Bin destroyed the anti-coalition supply camp. Because of this, the troops led by Yang Jingyu would run out of ammunition and food and fall into danger early. After liberation, the traitor was shot.
Cheng Bin
The second traitor, Zhang Xiufeng. After his surrender, he exposed Yang Jingyu's whereabouts, allowing the enemy to find the exhausted Yang Jingyu faster.
The third was the pseudo-platoon leader Zhang Yanxi, whose whistleblowing was the key to the enemy's finding of General Yang at the last moment. During the Liberation War, the people's government shot Zhao Tingxi to death in front of Yang Jingyu's grave.
The fourth traitor was Zhang Xiruo, who defected with Cheng Bin. He was the sharpshooter on the team. But he was also the sinner who finally shot and killed General Yang Jingyu.
For these four people, many veterans and soldiers have a grudge, not only because they have treasoned against the enemy, but also because they have led to the sacrifice of the beloved General Yang.
Later, in order to commemorate General Yang Jingyu, the Tonghua Detachment of the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army was renamed yang Jingyu Detachment, and Mengjiang County was renamed Jingyu County.
General Yang's sacrifice was undoubtedly tragic and heroic, as Chairman Zhu De wrote
"Comrade Yang Jingyu, the people's hero, is immortal"
We must always remember this great national hero.
