During the period of China's liberation, many soldiers of the Nationalist army became bandits due to defeat, which brought serious hidden dangers to national security. However, in 1946, after a big bandit named Xie Wendong was arrested, he even took up his identity as an anti-Japanese hero and tried to avoid the death penalty. It's a confusing story, let's dive into it together.
Xie Wendong's life is full of twists and turns. He was born in Kuandian County, Liaoning Province, and when he was a child, he did not like to study and liked to be mischievous. At the age of 16, he planned a kidnapping case, kidnapping the son of a landlord's family and extorting 4,000 yuan from the landlord. However, due to the conspiracy of the landlord, he had to flee his hometown and come to Yilan County, Jilin. There, he found business opportunities, quickly accumulated wealth, and even obtained official positions.
However, in the early 1930s, the Japanese army invaded Yilan County and forcibly expropriated food and resources, resulting in a difficult life for the local population. Xie Wendong was unwilling to see his hometown in trouble, so he gathered a group of like-minded people to openly resist the Japanese army. They launched several attacks, one of which even defeated the local pseudo-police regiment, obtaining a large number of weapons and ammunition.
In 1934, Xie Wendong's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Army grew and his unit became the commander of the Eighth Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army. However, in 1938, the Japanese army sent elite troops to surround Xie Wendong, leaving him isolated. Under the vicious circle of soldiers dying in battle, Xie Wendong began to waver.
The Japanese army was looking for a suitable representative to maintain their rule in Yilan County, and Xie Wendong became their target. In 1939, Xie Wendong surrendered to the Japanese army and became their lackey. However, Xie Wendong was well aware of the hatred between himself and the Japanese, so in order to show his sincerity, he apologized to Daisaku who was killed by himself, and even swore to the Japanese emperor that he was willing to dedicate his life to them.
After returning to Boli, Xie Wendong became a big traitor, helped the Japanese suppress the common people, and even participated in many massacres of anti-Japanese elements. However, in 1945, the Japanese army surrendered, and Xie Wendong chose to surrender to the Kuomintang. He became the commander of the Third Army of the Central Advance Army of the Fifth Theater, but he did something contrary to the interests of the nation in this position.
However, the situation changed rapidly, and Xie Wendong eventually became a big bandit. Our army was so strong that they quickly defeated him and he was forced to flee. But on one of his escapes, he was discovered by our troops. Aware of his crimes, he refused to surrender and abandoned his weapon, but was eventually caught. Due to the gravity of his crime, the arrest was broadcast nationwide, and the news shocked all the bandits, many turned themselves in, restoring calm to the place.
Although Xie Wendong tried to beg for mercy as a former anti-Japanese hero, he was eventually executed for his crimes. His life was full of contradictions, and at the same time became a remarkable story in history.
