In the autumn of 1938, an anti-Japanese hero sat at the door of the Japanese gendarmerie. He was dressed in a long robe, with a pair of handcuffs on his hands, and his eyes were looking straight ahead. He knew in his heart that this was the last picture of his life, his last photograph.
Although death was imminent, he was not afraid of it. On the contrary, the general's eyes were sharp, but he was calm and self-assured, without the slightest fear.
Who the hell is he? Why was he arrested by the Japanese gendarmerie? Why is there such a photo? This mystery has always been in people's minds, and his true identity was not known until more than 80 years later.
Photo of Jiang Zhendong before his death
When the general's descendants found this posthumous photo, the tears that had been hidden for more than 80 years instantly spewed out like a broken embankment. Subsequently, the heroic deeds of a bloody boy are slowly unfolding to us.
He is the protagonist of our story, Jiang Zhendong. An "ordinary" anti-Japanese hero who cares about the country and punishes evil and promotes good.

When it comes to the name of the anti-Japanese hero Jiang Zhendong, you may still be a little unfamiliar. There is not much information about him, but it is only a few words of information, but it is enough to make people feel admired. If you use a very one word to describe Jiang Zhendong, the too flowery rhetoric seems to be a bit cumbersome, and it is not as appropriate as a "real man".
Soldier of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army
Now when it comes to the northeast masters, most of the words that come to mind are "duan hand", "spoiled daughter-in-law", and "funny speech". Just hearing the northeastern man talking, there is a sense of joy that overflows the screen. The happiness and grin in the bones of the northeast people have made many fans in the northeast people's circle.
However, in the northeast at the beginning of the last century, these northeastern men had a different side, and at that time, their righteousness was awe-inspiring and humble.
In 1900, Jiang Zhendong was born in Liaoning Province in the northeast, and later came to Jilin Liuhe to reclaim the wilderness. Because this northeastern man had the tenacity of the strands, the brain was good, and he had certain business ability, he soon became the head of the self-defense regiment.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the children's regiment in the base area
On September 18, 1931, the Japanese army attacked Shenyang, and the 918 Incident broke out. At that time, the Kuomintang was very inactive and allowed the Japanese army to invade, resulting in a large area of land in the northeast of Our country was quickly occupied by the Japanese army, and the puppet state of Manchukuo was established. For a time, the northeast region became very dangerous, and the people lived in the depths of the water. The heartbroken Rikou committed countless crimes in the northeast region.
For a time, the hot-blooded boys in the northeast could no longer sit still. Who can watch their fellow countrymen suffer from this? Who can turn a blind eye to the madness of the Japanese? As a result, the heroes of various regions in the northeast spontaneously organized forces to begin to save the country.
Some are led by the Communist Party, some are led by the Kuomintang, and some are non-governmental forces without political tendencies. With their flesh and blood, they guard their families, protect their villagers, and protect their motherland.
The Japanese army of the September 18 Incident
After the September 18 Incident, the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Salvation Congress issued a publication called "Northeast Xun magazine", which recorded many heroic deeds of northeast men fighting on the battlefield. According to the records of this publication, the protagonist of this article, Jiang Zhendong, was organizing anti-Japanese armed forces in the Dandong area at that time, pulling up an anti-Japanese armed force of more than 600 people, and calling himself "good at occupying the mountains" to the outside world.
In July 1932, another group called "Cham Kitahara" cooperated. Jiang Zhendong played the banner of "Shanhao Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army" and "Zhan Beiyuan" under the banner of "Zhan Beiyuan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army." The two cooperated, with a total strength of nearly a thousand troops.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > a passion for the motherland</h1>
In this way, Jiang Zhendong embarked on the road of anti-Japanese resistance and began his bloody life. Since ancient times, people have actively participated in front-line battles with their own "purpose".
Some people, in order to make meritorious achievements, go down in history and let themselves not live in vain; some people just have the world in their hearts and deeply feel the great righteousness of the nation, so they can "worry about the worries of the world first."
The reasons for Jiang Zhendong's participation in the Anti-Japanese Resistance are unknown to us. However, the heroic deeds of these heroes are enough for our descendants to admire and learn.
In August 1932, "ZhanShanhao" and "Zhanbeiyuan", which were often operating near the Jihai Railway, received important information, and the trains from Chaoyang Town to Jilin had two carriages carrying Japanese.
Chinese people who have lost loved ones
After receiving this information, Jiang Zhendong led his team to set up an ambush at Yongning Station, and successfully intercepted eight silver cakes and gold bars. However, at that time, there were only two Japanese officers and a Japanese businessman on the car, and there was no "two-car Japanese army" as the intelligence said.
Although he was unable to ambush a large number of Japanese troops, Jiang Zhendong also had a full harvest and purchased guns and ammunition with the captured materials. After this battle, Jiang Zhendong and "Zhanbeiyuan" often launched attacks on the Japanese army along the Jihai Railway, which made the Japanese army angry and frustrated, but helpless.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > joined the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army</h1>
We often see the figure of "traitors" in some TV dramas with anti-Japanese themes, and there are also many Japanese ridicule Chinese, and there is no wind bone, and if you casually admit defeat.
In the face of national righteousness, people are often the difference between one thought and one thought. Some people can sacrifice their integrity and even sacrifice their own country for their own selfish desires. There are also people who, for the sake of national righteousness and national security, can sacrifice their lives at any time for righteousness.
How much we hate and despise the former, how much we admire and praise the latter. Jiang Zhendong is the latter, when he is faced with the choice of life, he does not hesitate to stand on the side of the national righteousness, defend the country, and never compromise!
The real image of the Eighth Route Army in history
Although Jiang Zhendong's self-organized civilian anti-Japanese armed forces defeated the Japanese combat forces to a large extent, the scattered civilian forces everywhere could not defeat the Japanese army well.
Therefore, with the same ideas and enthusiasm, everyone carried out unified management to twist into a rope to jointly resist Japan.
On June 4, 1932, the predecessor of the 1st Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, the Rock Workers' and Peasants' Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, was officially established. In the same year, on August 30, Jiang Zhendong's anti-Japanese armed forces held the inaugural meeting of the Northeast Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and Jiang Zhendong served as the leader of the fourth detachment.
At this time, Jiang Zhendong successively participated in the battles of Panshi and Huadian City, but Jiang Zhendong's troops suffered major setbacks, sacrificed miserably, and immediately lost contact with the Northeast Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
At this moment, the Southern Manchurian guerrilla unit of the Red Army led by Yang Jingyu was thriving and growing, and its combat effectiveness was very amazing. In February 1933, Jiang Zhendong's team met with the Southern Manchurian guerrillas of the Red Army, which became an important turning point in Jiang Zhendong's life.
At this time, Jiang Zhendong was isolated, and although his heart was full of enthusiasm, his strength was insufficient. When Yang Jingyu threw out an olive branch, Jiang Zhenyu saw that the Red Army's Southern Manchuria guerrillas were different from his own team, and the guerrillas had goals, discipline, and firm faith, which made Jiang Zhendong see hope again.
Therefore, Jiang Zhendong took the initiative to accept the Communist Party's anti-Japanese proposition and accepted the reorganization. He became the commander of the Second Division of the First Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, and fought dozens of vicious battles with the Japanese Kou in the Northeast White Mountains and Black Waters, and repeatedly accomplished miraculous feats.
Yang Jingyu
According to the "Northeast Magazine", Jiang Zhendong once led 49 people, armed with long guns and short knives, to kill Tongyuan Fort, killing 31 Japanese Kou, and also captured two heavy machine guns and 26 Type 38 rifles, which can be described as "full of harvest".
Coupled with the fact that he had fought with Jiang Zhendong before, he had hardly taken advantage of any benefits, and Rikou had long hated Jiang Dongsheng to the bone. This incident also greatly dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Japanese Kou, and the Japanese were momentarily angry and demoralized, and viciously released the news, offering a reward of 8,000 yuan for Jiang Zhendong's head.
Jiang Zhendong was actually just a representative of many anti-Japanese generals, according to the "Northeast XunBao" record, at that time, from Andong to Fengtian County more than 600 Huali, there were more than 30,000 anti-Japanese volunteers alone. Even the Japanese themselves have said, "If you don't retreat, you won't kill."

In 1938, when the anti-Japanese sentiment in the whole country reached its climax, the Japanese had become extremely vicious and even tried to annex all of China. But there are thousands of enthusiastic people like Jiang Zhendong in China who rushed to the front line and guarded the country's security.
However, just when Jiang Zhendong's enthusiasm could not be stretched, some traitors betrayed Jiang Zhendong, resulting in him being surrounded by the Japanese army. Six people were sacrificed, and seven people, including Jiang Zhendong, were captured by the Japanese.
Mass demonstrations
After the crazy Japanese army captured Jiang Zhendong and others, in order to find out information from their mouths, they used a lot of despicable and cruel means. But Ri Kou did not expect that Jiang Zhendong and others would rather die than reveal a word. The distraught Riko saw that he could not ask any news, so he decided to make a painful move.
At that time, the leader of the Japanese gendarmerie was called Fukushima, and this person had a very perverted hobby, that is, to take pictures of the victims before killing people, so as to show off his military achievements. The mysterious photo described at the beginning of this article was also taken by Jiang Zhendong at this time in Fukushima.
Jiang Zhendong in the photo looks ahead, without any fear. Subsequently, Jiang Zhendong and his subordinates were brutally killed by the Japanese army: "He grabbed the bayonet that the Japanese army stabbed at his chest, and his hands were cut off; he scolded the devil, and a Japanese officer became angry and cut off his shoulders until he cut off his neck again..."

There are not many records about Jiang Zhendong's deeds, but they are enough to make people feel the blood boiling, and the admiration is spontaneous. Regrettably, in addition to this posthumous photo, Jiang Zhendong did not leave any video data.
And this photo can be made public because of Wu Lingyu, a Native of Shanxi, whose great-grandfather Meng Lanzhi was an underground traffic station manager during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. In order to find the photos of his great-grandfather, Wu Lingyu went through a large number of materials and traveled to many places, but accidentally found Jiang Zhendong's posthumous photos.
The Eighth Route Army is ready to go
After several turnovers by Wu Lingyu, Jiang Zhendong's descendants finally found this precious photo, and this is the only photo of Jiang Zhendong before his death.
When our motherland was invaded, thousands of enthusiastic people like Jiang Zhendong in China took up guns and knives and wrote a magnificent chapter for the sake of the motherland's desperate resistance against the aggressors.
My generation should not forget, the alarm bells will always sound, and we should not forget the national shame.
