After the September 18th Incident in 1931, Zhao Yiman was sent by the Chinese ****products party to the northeast to lead the revolutionary struggle. 1934 served as a member of the Central County Committee of the Central Committee of the ****zhuhe and secretary of the Railway Road North District Committee, organizing the anti-Japanese self-defense force, and the Japanese launched a guerilla war. 1935 served as a member of the political commissariat of the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army's 3rd Army, the 1st division, the 2nd Regiment, in November, with the Japanese and pseudo-armies were arrested when fighting with their leg injuries. In November, he was unfortunately arrested for leg injuries while fighting with Japanese and pseudo forces. In order to obtain valuable information from Zhao Yiman, the Japanese army found a military doctor to give him simple treatment for his leg injury and then interrogated him harshly overnight.
Faced with the vicious Japanese army, Zhao Yiman, who had put life and death at risk, endured the pain of her injury and denounced the various crimes committed by the Japanese army since its invasion of China. The ferocious Japanese army saw Zhao Yiman refused to give in, using a horsewhip to poke his leg wounds. Seriously injured Zhao Yiman showed a Chinese should be strong will and determination to fight against Japan, the pain several times fainted, but still firmly said: "My purpose, my doctrine, my belief, is anti-Manchu anti-Japanese." Not a word about the Resistance was uttered.
On December 13, 1935, because Zhao Yiman's leg was seriously injured and her life was in danger, the Japanese army, in order to get important confessions, sent her to Harbin Municipal Hospital for surveillance and treatment. Zhao Yiman in the hospital, using various opportunities to guard her police Dong Xianxun and nurse Han Yongyi anti-Japanese patriotism ideological education, the two were y moved, decided to help Zhao Yiman to escape from the clutches of the Japanese army. June 28, 1936, Dong Xianxun and Han Yongyi Zhao Yiman out of the hospital to send the hired car, after a transfer, Zhao Yiman to the territory of the county of A County, the Jinjiawubing Dong Xianxun's uncle home. On June 30th, Zhao Yiman was caught up by the pursuing Japanese army on her way to the anti-Japanese guerrilla area, and fell into the clutches of the Japanese army again.
After Zhao Yiman was brought back to Harbin, the ferocious Japanese military police subjected her to even harsher torture, such as tiger stools and dunking her in chili water. According to enemy archives, the Japanese military police brutally tortured her in order to force her to confess the secrets of the Resistance and the Party's underground organization. Before and after the interrogation, they used dozens of kinds of torture, including electrocution. But she always remained steadfast and did not reveal any truth.
The Japanese knew that they could not get useful information from Zhao Yiman's mouth, and decided to send her back to Zhuhai County to be executed "for public display".
August 2, Zhao Yiman was escorted to Zhuhai County (now Shangzhi City) by train, and she knew that the Japanese army was going to shoot her, and at this time, she remembered her son, who was far away in Sichuan, and asked for a pen and paper to the escorting police. She wrote a tearful suicide note to her son: "It is a pity that my mother has not been able to fulfill her duty to educate you. Because of her resolute struggle against Manchuria and the Japanese, my mother is on the eve of her death today. I hope that you, Ning'er ah! Hurry up and become an adult to comfort your underground mother! After you have grown up and become an adult, I hope that you will not forget that your mother died for her country!"
The Chinese people will always remember the songful anti-Japanese deeds of the female national heroine Zhao Yiman. After the founding of new China, Zhu De for Zhao Yiman inscribed "Revolutionary hero Zhao Yiman martyrs will never die" inscription, Harbin people to commemorate her, the Northeast Martyrs Memorial Hall (once the pseudo Manchu police department) in front of the street named Yiman Street. Zhao Yiman statue stands in the square not far to the right, next to the Jihong elementary school.
After Zhao Yiman's death, her husband, Chen Dabang, didn't know she had changed her name, and he didn't even know that Zhao Yiman was his wife, Li Yichao, when the movie "Zhao Yiman" was broadcast. Zhao Yiman's sister also wrote a letter to Premier Zhou Enlai requesting to find Li Yichao, who had worked in the central organs of the C****. However, after reading the letter, Premier Zhou could not recall who Li Yichao really was. It was not until 1952 that she wrote a letter to Chen Zongying saying that after careful identification by Zhao Yiman's comrades, Zhao Yiman was Li Yichao. It was only at this time that Zhao's true identity was confirmed.
National hero Yang Jingyu
Yang Jingyu was sent to South Manchuria in November 1932 to inspect the area of Jilin Panshi. He reorganized the local guerrillas in accordance with the experience of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and formed the South Manchuria Guerrillas of the 32nd Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and served as a political commissar. Yang Jingyu led the guerrillas to use flexible guerrilla tactics, with the strong support of the people in the base area, crushed the enemy's four sieges, and took the initiative to attack, in less than five months, more than 60 battles of various sizes, killing and wounding the Japanese and pseudo-juniorist troops of more than 130, and captured many weapons and ammunition. The guerrillas in the fighting the stronger, from less than 100 people when the team was built, expanded to more than 250 people, reputation throughout South Manchuria. "After the September 18th Incident, the national conflict has risen to become the main contradiction, rescue and survival, resistance to aggression has become the primary task in front of the Chinese people. China **** central "126 letter of instruction" on the establishment of the spirit of the Northeast Anti-Japanese united front reached South Manchuria, Yang Jingyu from the actual South Manchuria, immediately implement the spirit of this instruction to the actual struggle, and clearly put forward the mobilization of all forces, the joint anti-Japanese. At that time, there were many anti-Japanese volunteers and mountain troops with various numbers in Panshi area of South Manchuria. The main ones were "Old Evergreen", "Commander Zhu", "Flying in the Clouds", "Green Forest", Sanjiang Good", "Cao Tuan" and other teams. Yang Jingyu took letters, leaflets, sent people to take the initiative to contact and other methods to do unity work, *** with the anti-Japanese. Especially in the "horse regiment", "Zhao regiment" by the Japanese and pseudo-army attack, the situation is difficult, he immediately led the team to relieve the siege. These two groups later united with the guerrillas in South Manchuria. Yang Jingyu personally went to do the work of "Mao Regiment" which had besieged the anti-Japanese forces for many times, and finally, after striving for it, Mao Zuobin, the leader of the regiment, agreed to unite with the guerrillas in the war. This had a great influence on the other anti-Japanese volunteers and mountain forest teams. He united all anti-Japanese forces and created a guerrilla base area centered on the red stone boulders in Exhausted Stone County. Subsequently, Yang Jingyu united these anti-Japanese volunteer armies and mountain forest teams and launched battles such as the siege of Daxingchuan, the conquest of Yingchengzi Town in Yitong County, the attack on Badaokhezi, the destruction of the Jihai Railway, and the attack on Dongjibaizi, so that the anti-Japanese forces were gradually united around the guerrilla forces, which in turn demanded organizational unity. In this situation, in July 1933, the Anti-Japanese Army Joint Staff was established. Yang Jingyu was appointed as a political commissar. on February 21, 1934, in the mountains near the walled boulders of Linjiang County, Yang Jingyu and the leaders of the other 16 anti-Japanese forces **** with the discussion, the establishment of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces General Command. Yang Jingyu was pushed as the General Command. In addition to the troops belonging to the Independent Division of the First Army of the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army, all the other anti-Japanese troops *** were organized into 8 detachments and divided into areas of activity for unified mobilization. Yang Jingyu commanded these teams and the Japanese and pseudo-junior forces in many battles, and achieved victory in the 1934 anti-"crusade".
According to the decision of the Manchurian Provincial Party Committee, on September 18, 1933, Yang Jingyu set up the Independent Division of the First Army of the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army on the basis of the South Manchurian Guerrillas of the Thirty-second Army of the Chinese Red Army. Independent Division under the jurisdiction of two regiments. There were more than 300 people in the whole division***, and Yang Jingyu was the division commander and political commissar. At this time, Yang Jingyu according to the disparity between the enemy's and our strength, the use of avoidance of reality, active defense combat policy, combined with other anti-Japanese volunteers to wait for an opportunity to fight the enemy. He led the troops directly under the command to and from the Shenhai Railway East and West, Meihekou to Ji'an highway on both sides of a series of battles such as Tonghua Shuiquliu, Linjiang Sanfengjiao, Jinchuan Dawangou, etc., and struck the enemy ruthlessly. By August 1934, the independent division had grown to more than 800 people, uniting a large number of various anti-Japanese forces. The area of activity of the subordinate forces had expanded to more than 10 counties on the north and south sides of the Huifa River, posing a great threat to the reactionary rule of the Japanese and the hypocrites in South Manchuria.
Yang Jingyu in combat formulated regulations on preferential treatment of soldiers, combat rewards regulations, etc., so that the troops in the fight against Japanese and pseudo-army in the battle continued to grow and expand, on November 7, 1934, announced the first army of the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army was formally established. Under the jurisdiction of two divisions, Yang Jingyu served as the army commander and political commissar. 1935 March, Yang Jingyu led the troops, opened up the Qingyuan, Xinbin, Huanren and other guerrilla areas. By the end of 1935 the total number of the First Army of the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army had doubled from 1934.
In the spring of 1936, inspired by the new tide of the national anti-Japanese salvation movement, in order to cooperate with the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army to fight against the Japanese, Yang Jingyu led the First Army of the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army to take the initiative in the eastern part of the area contiguous to Liaoning and Jilin, and actively fought against Japanese and pseudo-japanese forces. From February to April, the First Army fought 11 times with the Japanese and pseudo forces, annihilating 60 Japanese soldiers and 382 pseudo forces.In early July 1936, the First Army of the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army was reorganized into the First Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army. Yang Jingyu became the army commander and political commissar. Under the military headquarters of the teaching corps and three divisions, the whole army *** there are 3,000 people.
South Manchuria detour
In the fall of 1935, Heli base area has become the enemy's key "crusade" area. Around Linjiang Banshigou, where the First Army Command is located, every village and every major road crossing is densely populated with Japanese and pseudo-army. In order to break through the enemy encirclement, to regain the initiative of the war, Yang Jingyu decided to give the enemy a "sound east to strike the west". mid-August, Yang Jingyu rate of the military headquarters of the teaching corps of one hundred and fifty people began to act. 20, Yang Jingyu suddenly led the troops stationed in the Liuhe black stone avenue of more than three hundred of pseudo-military people launched a fierce attack. Our commanders and fighters from the mountains and forests rushed out, and the enemy launched a breathtaking white-blade battle, once killed and wounded the enemy more than sixty, captured more than ten, surrendered one hundred and fifty guns, mortar a door, the victory to protrude from the siege. Yang Jingyu has long expected the enemy will certainly gather troops Liuhe "blockade" our troops, west into a road, suddenly turned east, back to the starting point, looking for an opportunity to get out of the mountains. The enemy found Yang Jingyu in Liuhe "broken" their encirclement, greatly alarmed, and urgently ordered more than 10,000 "crusade" army westward, leaving a "crack" to our troops. Yang Jingyu quietly set off again, all the way southeast, through the dense forests of the Changbai Mountains, marching hundreds of kilometers, leaving the mountainous areas of the river, into the territory of Tonghua, Hunjiang, the enemy's "crusade" army all left behind. In mid-October, Yang Jingyu began to implement his plan of mobilizing the enemy and relieving the siege of the Heoli base. He divided the general's teaching regiment into two, one with a rapid march speed to the east straight into the border between China and North Korea is located in the series of An, suddenly attacked the defense of the slack enemy stronghold Yulinzi, killed, wounded and captured the enemy more than 20 people, captured twenty-five rifles and a large number of cotton, to solve the troops of the winter clothing. He himself led a few troops, westward into Huanren, found the lost Division I troops, and combined with them in one place. Soon after, the troops out of Juan in the east, according to his order, intentionally "expose" the number of the first army headquarters, and then quickly rushed to Huanren, and the first division troops. The first time I saw this, I was able to get a good look at the whole thing, and I was able to get a good look at the whole thing, and I was able to get a good look at the whole thing.
Yang Jingyu first in the Liuhe "prominent" siege, and then suddenly appeared in a few hundred miles away from the series of An, so that the command of the "great crusade" pseudo-first military management district commander Yu Zhishan a moment such as a drop in five miles in the fog. After all, Yu Zhishan is Yang Jingyu's old rival, after calming down, he suddenly realized that these two appearances of Yang Jingyu may not be the real Yang Jingyu, but only Yang Jingyu sent a small force, the purpose is still to use this to make him faint in the head. Yu Zhishan was confident in the new tactics he used in this "Great Crusade", and firmly did not believe that Yang Jingyu could really stand out. He was determined to ignore the two "Yang Jingyu troops" and "keep calm" to see what other tricks Yang Jingyu would play.
Yu Zhishan's "sophisticated" Yang Jingyu quite surprised, but he soon found for his own suddenly bigger opportunity to excite: for this big "crusade", the pseudo Fengtian army all out, the entire Liaonan region of the defense of the emptiness. Yu Zhishan would never have dreamed that Yang Jingyu would dare to go far away from his own base to conduct a long-distance "guerrilla attack" to the Liaonan area thousands of miles away. What he could not think of is exactly what Yang Jingyu wanted to do! Yang Jingyu decided at once: to lead a long-distance attack to the enemy's rear! You hit my rear, I hit your rear!
Late in November, on the 28th day of broad daylight, suddenly captured from the river has been a thousand miles away from the Kuan Dian County Bouda Yuan Street. The town is the gateway into the Liaodong Peninsula, and is only a few hundred miles from Fengtian, one of the heart cities of the enemy's rule, Yang Jingyu's sudden appearance immediately caused the whole of South Manchuria to shake. The Japanese pseudo-regimes in Dalian and Fengtian urgently "asked" Yu Zhishan of Fengtian if Yang Jingyu was the one who had just shot down Budayuan Street. If Yang Jingyu is really Yang Jingyu, what measures will the Fengtian Army take to maintain law and order in Liaonan? At this time, Yang Jingyu was standing in the street of Budayuan, anti-Japanese propaganda to the masses, he said: compatriots, I am Yang Jingyu, **** the first army of the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army under the leadership of the Communist Party of China is about to split the troops to the west and south, liberation of Liaodong Peninsula, the restoration of Shenyang! The crowd cheered. Yu Zhishan received all these "inquiries" and reports, anxious hot sweat, face color, and urgently deployed in Fengtian's pseudo-army to "crusade", at this time he could not help but believe that this thousands of miles south of the anti-Japanese army is Yang Jingyu's troops! After the mass anti-Japanese general meeting, Yang Jingyu rate "south", all the way to rush, to the local traitors created a kind of he really want to go south to the Liaodong Peninsula of the strong impression. The traitors immediately reported the matter to Fengtian and Dalian, Yu Zhishan and Dalian Japanese troops unprecedented tension. Yang Jingyu south into dozens of miles, suddenly turned around into the mountains and forests, folded to the northwest, two days and a night marching three hundred miles, quietly arrived outside the city of Benxi. General Yang Jingyu's secret camp in the dense forests of the monk hat in Benxi County
Late one night in December, an expeditionary force of the First Army, combined with a number of local mountain forest teams, launched a surprise attack on the Japanese alkali factory on the outskirts of Benxi. At one time Benxi city and outside the city, the sound of gunfire into a piece. Benxi is an important town in Liaodong, close to Fengtian, Fengtian's city defense force has been sent to Liaonan by Yu Zhishan, in addition to the pseudo-police in the city, there is no other force. Yu Zhishan no longer "calm" can not go on, Yang Jingyu dare to fight Benxi, may be a surprise attack on Fengtian! He immediately ordered the "crusade" to the east side of the road of the enemy troops back to Liaonan, Benxi, Fengtian, deployed defense, do not let Yang Jingyu again "opportunity to take advantage of". The company's first-ever "Autumn Crusade" in 1935 ended in failure, and in early January 1936, Yang Jingyu led a triumphant return to the base of the He Li.
From August to December 1935, in less than five months, Yang Jingyu's lone army southward, in the enemy's tightly ruled areas of the circuitous march more than 2,000 miles, east to the border of China and North Korea, south to Liaonan, west to Benxi, blooming, creating the Northeast anti-Japanese guerrilla war history of the most glorious chapter.
Attacking Shao Benliang
Early in 1936, the Japanese army, in order to completely annihilate the anti-Japanese allied forces operating in the Fushun area, mobilized a division of troops, and with the cooperation of a group of bandits of the treacherous Shao Benliang, began to attack the Fushun area in a big way. In front of the powerful enemy, Yang Jingyu take the "bull nose" approach, roundabout operation. In order to crush the enemy's conspiracy of "great crusade", Yang Jingyu led the military department and a division of some of the combatants to take the "bull nose" task. They moved from Qingyuan to Xinbin, then from Xinbin to Huanren, and then back to Qingyuan. After several long-distance hasty march, dragging the enemy exhausted, lost the arrogance of the beginning. Yang Jingyu's troops were divided into several small detachments to disperse the enemy's strength, and then they adopted the sparrow tactics and wiped out many enemies with individual attacks. One day, when the small detachment led by Yang Jingyu went to Big Pipa Ridge in Xinbin, it was discovered by the enemy, and Yang Jingyu concentrated his firepower and wiped out more than 60 pseudo-armies. One day, Yang Jingyu and his men were having dinner at Chicken House Ridge, when Shao Benliang learned about it, he sent 200 cavalrymen to chase after them, Yang Jingyu then asked his soldiers to use their light machine guns to sweep the area, and the enemy left more than 50 corpses behind and fled in a mess. After suffering a few defeats, the furious enemy concentrated their forces under the command of Miki and tried to find a chance to fight with Yang Jingyu. Yang Jingyu saw through the enemy's conspiracy, it will be a trick, let the soldiers along the way to throw away some useless things, to create signs of escape, the enemy believed that the enemy, sent Shao Benliang remaining troops in hot pursuit. Our army under the leadership of Yang Jingyu, rain or shine, day and night, long-distance trekking more than a thousand miles, detour to Fengcheng County, Li Shudianzi. Yang Jingyu set up an ambush circle, to be Shao Benliang remnants completely into the ambush circle, an order, all the commanders fired. After more than 4 hours of fierce battle, wiped out almost all the remnants of the enemy. Shao Benliang only escaped with 7 bandits. After several months of long-distance travel, finally crushed the enemy's "big crusade".
Yang Jingyu's victory over Shao Benliang dealt a heavy blow to the enemy's arrogance and greatly encouraged the people of the Fushun area's anti-Japanese determination and the fighting spirit of the soldiers.
The criminal "group of tribes"
The anti-Japanese forces led by Yang Jingyu continued to grow and expand, seriously threatening Japanese colonial rule in the Northeast. The Japanese army carried out a crazy retaliation against the Resistance League. 1934 to 1936 three years, the Japanese and pseudo-army in the Tonghua area alone burned down 14,000 houses, abandoned 330,000 acres of arable land, and drove 12,000 residents into the "group tribe" (at that time, the farmers called "return to the big Tun"). (which the peasants called "Gueidatun" at that time). A "group tribe" is a group of scattered families forcibly concentrated in one place, and a "tribe" usually consists of about 100 families, or more, at least not less than 50 families. Around the construction of about two feet high wall, the corners of the construction of gun towers, dug trenches outside the wall, pulling on barbed wire. In addition to the "self-defense corps" formed by young and strong men, there were also police units stationed in the "tribes", some of which were pseudo-military and some of which were Japanese military. Selected sites are convenient transportation, and construction of police road, police telephone, and the county and nearby "tribes" connected, one was attacked, the other will come to reinforcements. Usually in and out of the search, food, salt, cloth, etc., all the "Resistance League" needs everything, strictly prohibited to take out of the "tribe". People also need to register, called "registered". Guests had to register, relatives had to register, and those who did not register would be regarded as "bandits". Guests have to have a "residence permit", relatives have to do the "road permit", go up the mountain firewood, down the river to catch fish, all have to have a permit, even to the river to pick up water also have to have a firemark wooden plate. In the spring of 1933, the "group tribe" first in Jilin Province, Panshi County trial, and then successively in the four northeastern provinces, including the Jehol province to implement, in 1938, the basic completion. In the words of the "Resistance League" documents of that year, "group tribes everywhere".
"The Resistance" has always been guerrilla warfare, can fight, fight to go, can not fight of course, also go, people familiar with the land, where to go are not worried about food and shelter. The Northeast is sparsely populated, but how remote places are populated, because in the early years of these lands are mostly ownerless, reclaimed is their own family. "The Resistance has no government support, no military organization, no rear, and therefore no soldiers, supplies, and ammunition, but there are people everywhere, and with the support of the people, all this is basically not a problem. This is a kind of people's war, the deepest greatness exists in the people. However, after the "group tribes everywhere", the base areas and guerrilla zones became no-man's land, and the "Resistance" was separated from the masses, just like a fish without water or a melon without seedlings. From now on, the sky is a big house, the ground is a big bed, wild vegetables and bark is food, starvation and freezing to death more than the war dead.
The Japanese army also implemented the "three light policy" in eastern Jilin, massacred 100,000 Jilin people in one year. And frequent crusades against the Resistance. The situation of the Resistance League became more and more difficult.
Two Western Expeditions
After the establishment of the First Army of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, General Yang Jingyu, in order to respond to the call of the Anti-Japanese National Unified Front put forward by the Chinese ****anufacturing Party, to make contact with the Red Army in Guanzhou, to get rid of the Japanese encirclement, and to avoid the isolation of the North-Eastern Resistance League from the domestic war against the war, put forward the decision to make a Western Expedition to fight the war with anti-Japanese forces in Guanzhou***same as the war against the war.
The first Western Expedition The first army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Army under the leadership of Yang Jingyu eliminated Shao Benliang's troops in May 1936, and then came to the Tangchi ditch in the mountainous area of the Caohekou region of Benxi County, where a meeting of cadres of the above divisions was held, and the meeting decided to make a Western Expedition to the west to open up contact with the Central Red Army in Guanzhou. Soon, Yang Jingyu from the Japanese newspaper learned that "the Central Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi", "Fang Fei took dozens of people into the Rehe". He concluded that Fang Zhimin had led the Red Army to Jehol, and in order to open up the connection with Guannei, he resolutely decided to take the action of the Western Expedition. So, ordered the 1st Division to immediately organize the troops to set off on the western expedition, and the Central Red Army to get in touch with the Guannai *** with the anti-Japanese. The westward expedition force took the 1st Division of the 1st Army of the Resistance League as the main force, and was led by the 1st Division Headquarters, the Guard Company, the 3rd Regiment and the Juvenile Battalion, and led by the Director of the Army Political Department Song Tieyan and the Division Commander Cheng Bin, and the Division Chief of Staff Li Minhuan, to start the westward expedition. On the way, the advance of the Western Expedition troops was seriously hampered by the fact that, in addition, the local people did not understand them, which increased the difficulty of the Western Expedition. In order to avoid losses, on July 8, the division decided to split up and return in three ways. 1 Division Headquarters on the way back to the division at the junction of Liaoyang and Benxi, and tracked and pursued the Japanese garrison at Lian Guan Mountain in Benxi, the Second Squadron engaged in fierce battles, killing more than 70 Japanese officers and men below the Japanese First Lieutenant Imada. Although the first western expedition was lost. However, the victory in the battle of Motianling encouraged the spirit of the Resistance fighters. General Yang Jingyu decided to march west again to make contact with the Central Red Army. In winter, the Liao River will freeze over, and then rush to Jehol to find the Party Central Committee and the Red Army. This plan made the Resistance all cheered, responsible for the training of the whole division of Yang Junheng, chief of staff in charge of the work of the starry night for the troops to select a good horse, and hope that the westward march a day earlier. Because most of the soldiers do not know how to ride a horse, the training of horsemanship has become another major event before the deployment. Yang Junheng rolled up and down on his horse all day long, demonstrating to the soldiers over and over again.
"Don't be afraid, remember, the heart must be fine, hand grasp the reins, upper body to the horse's back, feet firmly on the stirrups, fierce force, roll over on the horse ......", so, from the morning sunshine to the nightfall, his slender figure has been left in the war horse hissing Training field, often forget to drink and eat. 10 days passed, his original sturdy figure became dark and thin. Although every day training is very tired, but the smile always hangs on the face of the warriors, they are always ready to drive to the front.1936 late November a night, a collection of trumpets sounded, more than 400 resistance fighters in the training field urgent assembly. Division Commander Wang Renzai, Political Commissar Zhou Jianhua, Chief of Staff Yang Junheng, and Director of the Political Department Liu Wanxi jumped on their horses, braved the bitter cold wind, and swung westward. For the sake of concealment, the troops rested during the day and marched at night, but was still discovered by the Japanese, more than 1,000 ghosts tightly "bite" the Resistance forces, the division decided to teach the ghosts behind them a lesson. Third Division cavalry troops came to a higher hill, Yang Junheng hand waved his sword, shouted: "Charge! Taking the lead, he raised his sword and charged the enemy. Soldiers are heroic and the enemy started a physical combat, at a time, the sound of gunfire, the snow on the ground by the horses splashed half a meter high, the invincible Japanese army suddenly suffered an attack, panicked, abandoned their guns and fled. So several times, the third division of the western expeditionary force broke through the enemy blockade, via Xingjing, Qingyuan, passing through Tieling, across the northern section of the South Manchuria Railway, after a month, finally arrived at the east bank of the Liaohe River in Fakou County, three sides of the ship stone as if the temple. Victory is at hand, the Resistance fighters excitedly hugged together, cheering.
However, the sky is not beautiful, 1936 Faku County winter weather anomalies, high temperatures, late December in late winter Liao River not only did not freeze, but the river soared, the surface of the water to widen, rushing more than. At the same time, the ferry ports were also closely guarded by Japanese troops, and the ferries were controlled by the enemy. The officers and men of the Third Division were anxious, how could they have never imagined that they had rushed all the way to the bank of the Liao River in a bloody battle, but the warm winter of the Liao River blocked the way forward. The young soldiers could not withstand this sudden blow, fell on horseback and cried loudly, while the older soldiers looked at the rolling Liao River in silence. What to do? In the critical situation, the division headquarters held an urgent meeting and decided to seize the enemy's boats and forcibly cross the Liao River. Unfortunately, the Resistance forces, who were good at fighting in the mountains, were not used to fighting on the plains, and since there was nothing in the area to hide behind, they were discovered by the enemy just as they were about to make a surprise attack. At once, the opposite bank flew like a rain of bullets, the Resistance behind the Japanese army heard the sound of gunfire also heard the wind. With the enemy on their backs, the Resistance fighters fought as they went. As a result of continuous fighting, the army can not be rested, exhausted, fell out, casualties more and more, coupled with the sacrifice of guides leading the way, the enemy is in hot pursuit, the third division is in a very unfavorable situation, in the spring of 1937, the troops had to return to the Qingyuan, Xingjing, Xifeng anti-Japanese guerrilla area. Loss of more than half of the personnel, only less than a hundred people left. The second western expedition was declared a failure.
Miracle in hardship
July 7, 1937, the Lugouqiao Incident broke out, and China entered a period of comprehensive resistance war. In order to restrain the Japanese Kwantung Army into the Customs, with, support the national war of resistance, Yang Jingyu rate of the first resistance army took the initiative to attack, the development of the attack on the Fenghai Railway (Shenyang to Meihekou) battle plan, carried out the Xinbin Huangtugang battle; and in the vast masses of people with the cooperation and support of the flexible guerrilla tactics, in Kuandian County, Shuangshanzi, Sipingjie attacked the Japanese garrison, killing and wounding the Japanese water out of the Land Island Captain the following more than 30 people! In Benxi County, they fought with the Japanese Ushijima troops in Alkali Factory Gully and killed more than 50 people below the captain of Ushijima. In Benxi County, Dashi Lake, Huanren County, Dadianzi, Lenggou and other places, many times with the Japanese and pseudo-junior forces, strong clamp down on the Japanese invasion forces.
The Japanese imperialists have always taken the Northeast as a strategic base for conquering China. The existence of the Northeast Resistance League, like a sharp knife into the heart of the enemy, shaking the Japanese reactionary rule, the enemy called Yang Jingyu "cancer of Manchurian security". For this reason, since 1938, the Japanese Kwantung Army Command mobilized more than 60,000 Japanese and pseudo-military police, Yang Jingyu and the Resistance all the way to the army to carry out a "great crusade", especially stressed: "for the capture and killing of the bandit leader Yang Jingyu, etc. must go all out." Its action strategy is: "At the same time encountered the Resistance and anti-Japanese mountain forest team, specializing in fighting the Resistance, not to fight the mountain forest team; if at the same time encountered Yang Jingyu and other Resistance forces, specializing in fighting Yang Jingyu, not to fight the other Resistance." At the same time of the military crusade, the Japanese and pseudo authorities took the way of buying traitors, political entrapment, and the formation of renegade armies, etc., to divide and disintegrate the Resistance League. Thus, the armed struggle against the Japanese in the Northeast entered an extremely difficult period. In the struggle against the "crusade", Yang Jingyu led his troops to adopt night raids, ambushes, detours and other guerrilla tactics, and fought with the enemy. 1938, Yang Jingyu commanded his troops to carry out a series of struggles: attacking the enemy at the Laoling Tunnel site, winning the battles of Mosquito Gully, Tu Kou Zi, Chang Gang, Qiao Gully, Mujihe, and Dapu Shibahe, killing the Japanese commander Nishida Shigetaka, annihilating the Japanese commander Nishida Shige Takashi, and killing the Japanese commander Nishida Shige Takashi, and destroying the Japanese army. Commander Nishida Shigetaka, eliminated the Japanese and the pseudo-manchu army "Suo Brigade", which the Japanese and the pseudo-counterinsurgency called "the flower of banditry", and crushed the enemy's planning of the "great crusade on the eastern side of the road". Into the winter, the struggle is even more difficult, the resistance fighters lack of clothing and food, often ten days and a half months can not eat food, often thirsty to grab the snow, hungry to eat some bark, wild vegetables, grass roots. No shoes to wear, with sacks or rags wrapped up feet marching in the snow, often on an empty stomach to fight with the enemy. As the enemy practiced "comb crusade" and "dog fly tactics", the soldiers got rid of a group of enemies soon encountered a group of enemies, physical exertion is very large. In addition to the Changbai Mountain freezing cold, the temperature is often at minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius, many fighters are frozen off the fingers and toes. Due to the lack of medicine, many soldiers gave their lives. In the summer of 1938, due to the first division commander Cheng Bin mutiny, all the way army activities more difficult. But Yang Jingyu led the Resistance to persist in the struggle, creating one miracle after another in the history of the Northeast War of Resistance.
Killing himself to death
1939 was one of the toughest times for the Resistance Army since the war began, and the troops suffered a lot of casualties. Huang Shengfa, an old man who served as a guard at Yang Jingyu's side, recalled: "The weather was very cold, and our cotton clothes were not all in order, so some comrades had frostbite on their hands and feet. However, the enemy's troops were getting denser and denser, and the 'crusades' were getting more and more frequent. Just when Commander Yang called a meeting of the heads of the various aspects of the army to solve the problem of cotton clothing, because of the betrayal of traitors, in the area of the northeast fork of the Naerboom was surrounded by Japanese and pseudo-army led by Kishitani Ryuichiro, the enemy strength of more than 40,000 people. There were airplanes in the sky, machine guns and artillery on the ground, and automobiles transporting food and ammunition back and forth. On our front, the enemy filled the hills and valleys. In order to cover the diversion of the units, Commander Yang led more than 300 of us to attract the enemy at the front, and the machine gun company opened the way and tore an opening alive.
"But when we broke through Nanbozi to Wuldingzi, the enemy had gathered more troops, and it was hard for us to get a chance to rest and recuperate as we lost one and met another. Snow march, pants are always wet, let the cold wind blow, frozen into ice armor, it is difficult to bend, I do not know how heavy, step are strenuous. Shoes are also running rotten, had to cut off a few soft elm tree strips, twisted from end to end, as a rope to tie the shoes on the feet. Clothes, all called tree branches torn, blossomed, day and night are hanging thick frost, all white, all cool.
"At this time, what a need for fire! Build a pile of fire, a good roast, the frozen clothes baked into ice, baked dry, the cold body baked warm. Especially at night, the temperature dropped to minus 40 degrees Celsius, freezing the big tree KaBaKaBa straight, the thick trunk of the frozen cracks, how can people stand ah! However, once a fire is started, the firelight shines out from a long distance, and the smoke floats up to the top of the forest, the enemy will pounce on us like a group of green-headed flies. We had to keep jumping up and down on the snow, afraid that we would sit down and never get up again.
"What's even harder is that there's no food, not to mention food, even grass is buried in two or three feet of snow, so there's no way to find it, there's no way to dig it up, so we have to eat the hard-to-swallow tree bark. First scrape off the old skin, the layer of green tender skin piece by piece, put in the mouth to chew ah chew ah, just can not swallow. Barely eaten, the stomach is not good ......" Yang Jingyu encouraged everyone: "The revolution is like a pile of fire, looks very small, can burn up can burn the sky, light up the night. Revolution, no matter how much difficulty will always win!" In February 1940, on the eve of Yang Jingyu's death, he and the soldiers ate a bowl of paste boiled in snow water, very calmly said to the guards: "is that we are sacrificed, there will be someone to inherit our cause, the revolution will always be successful." After a few days, he did not eat a grain of food, hungry to grass roots, cotton wool to fill hunger, fighting to the last moment of life.
General Yang Jingyu Last Breath
In the afternoon of February 23, 1940, the enemy encircled Yang Jingyu in the village of Baoan, Munjiang County, in the three dao waizi. In the battlefield record left by the Japanese invaders, there is this record: "The crusade team had closed in on him (Yang Jingyu) to 100 meters, 50 meters, and completely surrounded him. The crusaders persuaded him to surrender. However, he didn't even look like he was going to do so, but kept firing his pistol at the crusaders. After 20 minutes of fighting, a bullet hit his left wrist and with a snap, his pistol fell to the ground. However, he continued to fight with the pistol in his right hand. The crusading party, therefore, finding it difficult to capture him alive, opened heavy fire on him." At 4:30 p.m., Yang Jingyu was shot in the chest by an enemy bullet and was martyred at the age of 35. After Yang Jingyu died for his country, the Japanese invaders cut open his remains and found that his stomach was starved to shape, which, in addition to the undigested grass roots and lint, not even a grain of food! The blood of the brave man, in order to fight for the nation's gas, even the brutal invaders were shocked and convinced. Participated in the "siege" of the pseudo Tonghua provincial police commissioner Kishitani Ryuichiro had to admit: "Although the enemy, witnessed its martyrdom also exclaimed: great hero! And specially for Yang Jingyu held a "comforting sacrifice".
There are too many to say, neither more good, nor strive to be detailed.
