In the early spring of 1951, a PLA commander and fighter walked into the gate of the local public security bureau, and the staff of the public security bureau saw that the PLA commander was visiting, so they went forward to inquire about his intentions, and it turned out that the PLA commander had come to report a secret agent lurking in Shenyang.

According to the description of this PLA commander and fighter, his name is Cheng Bin, and he is now working in the Shenyang Military Region, and in the early morning of this morning, he went out with an umbrella to buy a pack of cigarettes, but how did he expect to meet a very familiar face on the way to the grocery store.
After returning to the dormitory, the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became, and after some careful recollection, he suddenly found that the person he had just met was a middle and high-level cadre of the Northeast Anti-Japanese League, who was his former comrade-in-arms, and as far as he knew, that person later defected to the Anti-Japanese League and became a traitor and entered the puppet Manchu army.

Although he is not sure whether this person served in the Kuomintang government after the War of Resistance, considering that the puppet Manchu army was heavily absorbed by the Kuomintang army after the end of the War of Resistance, it is very likely that he entered the Kuomintang military and political system, and it is likely that he is a lurker who remains in Shenyang now.
After hearing about this incident, the comrades of the public security organs immediately made preparations for the attack, and according to Cheng Bin's description, began a search for this "traitor", but how could it be that the search had just begun, and a person whose physical characteristics were completely in line with Cheng Bin's description took the initiative to come to the public security bureau.

The comrades of the public security organs immediately arrested this person when they saw him throwing himself into the net, and then began interrogation, this person first claimed to be innocent, and this trip was also to report a traitor, at first the comrades of the public security organ did not care about his words, but put in front of him one by one the evidence that proved that he was a traitor, and as the evidence increased, he finally could not refute and confessed his treason crime, and admitted that he had worked for the Kuomintang secret service after the War of Resistance.
But then he turned sharply and directly pointed the spearhead at an "enemy" that our party and our army had been looking for for many years, the traitor of the Anti-Japanese League who forced Yang Jingyu to die.
Yang Jingyu
The comrades of the public security organs thought that he wanted to make meritorious deeds, so they continued: Confess leniency, resist strictness, honestly explain where the traitor is now, and strive for leniency!
This person paid no attention to the words of the case-handling personnel, and smiled to himself: That person is now an official in your People's Liberation Army!
The comrades of the public security organs immediately inhaled a cool breath, could this person have mixed into the team again? Or is the man's traitor identity never revealed?
Immediately after that, the man said: It was the person who reported me who forced Yang Jingyu to die!
The first person from right is Cheng Bin
The comrades of the public security organs were suddenly confused by this sudden sentence. Was he talking nonsense and spewing blood, or was there really something wrong with That Cheng Bin?
In order not to frame a good person and not to spare a bad person, the case-handling personnel immediately asked the traitor to tell the beginning and end of Cheng Bin's rebellion and provide corresponding supporting evidence, and at the same time secretly began to investigate cheng Bin's history to find doubts, and finally as the public security comrades investigated day and night, Cheng Bin's earth-shattering secret that had been hidden for more than ten years was revealed, and the truth was finally revealed.
"King of the Northeast" Zhang Zuolin
According to the investigation of the public security organs, Cheng Bin was born in Jilin Yitong in the first year of the Republic of China, because this place is located outside the Guanwai, the chaos of the Beiyang warlords competing for hegemony did not last long here, shortly after Yuan Shikai's death, Zhang Zuolin was made the governor and overseer of Fengtian by the then president Li Yuanhong, and through various means grasped the military and political power of the entire northeast, so Cheng Bin, who was born outside the Guan, had a relatively peaceful and comfortable childhood.
Due to his relatively wealthy family, Cheng Bin was sent to a new school run by the Russians at a very young age to learn cultural knowledge, and during this period he was exposed to progressive ideas and became an intellectual with a revolutionary heart.
9/18 Incident
However, with the passage of time and the violent death of Zhang Zuolin, the situation in the northeast region became more and more turbulent, and Cheng Bin, who had been exposed to progressive ideas, was anxious, and as the September 18 incident broke out, the Northeast Army withdrew into Guannei under the Non-Resistance Policy of the Nationalist Government, Cheng Bin was furious about this, and immediately led his classmates to the streets to denounce the traitorous behavior of the Nationalist Government.
At the same time, the civilian anti-Japanese forces in the northeast region have also become increasingly prominent, and those former northeast army generals and local patriots who refused to withdraw from the northeast have formed anti-Japanese guerrilla groups, and under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, they have united together to establish the famous northeast anti-Japanese coalition army in history, and Cheng Bin also joined the armed forces of the anti-Japanese coalition in this tide of anti-Japanese national salvation and began his career as a soldier, because of his outstanding performance in the early days of the anti-Japanese alliance, he was quickly recognized by the comrades of the local party organization. And it was accepted into the ranks of the party organization, and Cheng Bin was only 20 years old that year, which can be described as flourishing.
Anti-joint badge
During this period, he became acquainted with yang Jingyu, the hero of the Anti-League, and because Cheng Bin also had a good performance in terms of excellent tactical command in battle, coupled with the gradual expansion of the anti-coalition team, Cheng Bin also made a smooth stride under Yang Jingyu's promotion, and finally rose to the position of division commander and became Yang Jingyu's right and left arm.
As the two men became more and more in contact, Yang Jingyu also admired Cheng Bin more and more, an "intellectual"; he had not attended a military academy for a day, but he was very insightful in organizing the battle, and whenever he encountered difficulties in making strategic choices, Yang Jingyu would win Cheng Bin's opinions before making a decision, and he would always make a major breakthrough and deal a heavy blow to the Japanese puppet army.

At this time, he was particularly valued by the commander-in-chief Yang Jingyu, and he was extremely prestigious among the grass-roots soldiers, and he could even say bluntly that Cheng Bin at this time seemed to be the second or third leader of the Anti-League.
However, the Northeast Anti-Japanese League, which fought alone, was only a guerrilla armed force after all, due to the lack of base areas and the logistics system of the formation, the Anti-Japanese League finally showed a decline in around 1935 after several years of resistance, and the Japanese army also began to implement a blockade and division and encirclement against the Anti-League in a more targeted manner, breaking down the anti-coalition departments one by one.
At this time, Cheng Bin also began to doubt himself in the repeated encounters with the wall, and eventually evolved into a denial of self, and even a denial of the entire anti-Japanese alliance and the great cause of the anti-Japanese resistance.

At this time, coinciding with the change in the Japanese army's operational thinking against the United States, the original method of warfare of attacking by force gradually began to attack the ideological offensive of the anti-coalition fighters after failing to achieve results, including but not limited to promising the future of official positions, coercing relatives and friends, and other means.

Among them, Cheng Bin's chief of staff and the director of the Political Department surrendered to the enemy one after another, which undoubtedly pressed this last straw for Cheng Bin, whose faith had long been shaken, at this time a terrible idea gradually surged into Cheng Bin's heart, and a thought of defecting to the enemy gradually dominated his brain.
In order to be able to "have a good future" in the Japanese puppet army, Cheng Bin decided to give the Japanese a big gift, and the best "congratulatory gift" he could give to the Japanese was his good comrade-in-arms, good teacher, and good leader Yang Jingyu.
Puppet Manchukuo Army (Japanese Puppet Army)
In July 1938, cheng Bin, then 26 years old, defected to the Japanese with more than 100 anti-Coalition cronies and betrayed Yang Jingyu's whereabouts in exchange for the trust of the Japanese.
Because the two of them had been together for many years, and Yang Jingyu often taught his combat experience to Cheng Bin, Cheng Bin knew Yang Jingyu's way of thinking and action style very well, and the most shocking thing was that Cheng Bin informed the Japanese puppet army of the location of the anti-coalition secret, the location of the anti-coalition secret camp.
Former site of the Anti-Coalition Camp
As its name suggests, the Anti-Coalition Secret Camp is the secret camp of the Anti-Coalition fighters, where the strategy and living materials of the Anti-Coalition fighters are hidden, and for many years the Anti-Coalition fighters have relied on the secret camp and secret lines of communication to maintain to this day, but Cheng Bin has ignored these, he has taken these lifelines to maintain the survival of his compatriots on the mountain as chips, and handed them all over to the Japanese in exchange for trust.
The Japanese would certainly not let go of these secret camps after learning about them, and after emptying the materials inside, they were burned down by a fire, and more than 70 secret camps were destroyed overnight, and Yang Jingyu and the soldiers around him were also forced into a desperate situation.
Yang Jingyu sacrificed
What is even more disgusting is that Cheng Bin's loyalty to the Japanese is not just to exchange trust, he is afraid that one day Yang Jingyu will come back and take his life, so he takes the initiative to flatter the Japanese and put forward the idea of chasing after the Anti-Japanese League at night, so as to consume the will of the Anti-Coalition fighters day and night.
And when he was pursuing Yang Jingyu by force, he saddled up and provided intelligence for the Japanese army many times, and finally in 1940, Cheng Bin forced his former friend and mentor Yang Jingyu to death.
After yang Jingyu's sacrifice, the Japanese hyped up Cheng Bin's "great achievements", and for a time his name was written down by all the anti-coalition fighters and those who had left the anti-coalition.
The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression
However, with the passage of time, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression gradually moved in a good direction, and the total defeat of the Japanese was a foregone conclusion, and at this time Cheng Bin tried everything to wash himself away, so he once again betrayed his Japanese master, killed several Japanese in front of the Eighth Route Army that had just left the customs, showed his identity as an "anti-Japanese hero," and won the trust of our army, thus once again blending into the ranks of our army.
Liberation
Because of his strong command ability, he soon became a commander and fighter in the People's Liberation Army and rose all the way, just when he thought that his future was worry-free, he met a subordinate who had defected with him on the street, the two met and no one spoke, but everyone knew that if the other party reported his words, he would no longer have room to turn over, so the two invariably chose to report each other, but how did Cheng Bin take the lead in reporting each other, and the other party was forced to admit his crime after the cunning and fruitlessness, First, in order to alleviate the crime, and second, in order to pull Cheng Bin as a cushion back, he also fully entrusted Cheng Bin's past.
As the results of the investigation became clearer and clearer, both of their crimes were exposed by the other party and other evidence, and eventually both were sentenced to death by the relevant authorities, and both were shot that year, using their lives to pay for their sins that they could not make up.
