Yang Jingyu
From 65438 to 0929, 24-year-old Yang Jingyu went to Northeast China at the behest of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and began a glorious journey to defend his country. After the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Yang Jingyu served as the commander-in-chief and political commissar of the First Route Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition, with a basic team of more than 6,000 people, who were distributed in Nanman area to carry out the anti-Japanese struggle.
1940 On February 23rd, Yang Jingyu died in Mengjiang County (now Jingyu County) of Jilin Province at the age of 35. For a long time, there have been different and controversial opinions about the cause of Yang Jingyu's death. This paper tries to list several main rhetorical devices for readers.
Killed by Japanese invaders
1in the winter of 938, the Japanese invaders carried out the inhuman policy of returning to villages and merging households, which strengthened the destruction of the anti-Japanese base areas in Nanman and made the situation of the anti-Japanese Coalition forces more and more difficult. Yang Jingyu was forced to lead the First Route Army 1400 people to the dense forest of Changbai Mountain. 1940 1 month, in order to solve the problem of army supply, Yang Jingyu ordered the main force of the army to go north, and he led a small group of troops to the east. After many battles with the Japanese aggressors, there were only seven soldiers left around him, four of whom were injured. So Yang Jingyu ordered four people to act. Later, he sent the remaining two soldiers to the village to find some food. As a result, the two soldiers were killed by the Japanese puppet troops after they went down the mountain. On February 23rd, Yang Jingyu met with four Japanese people alone in Qiansandaowaizi, Baoan Village, Mengjiang County, Jilin Province. Yang Jingyu obeyed the Party's discipline and gave money to one of them to buy him some food and cotton shoes. As a result, this person was leaked to the Japanese and puppet authorities. Finally, the crusade team of the Kwantung Army surrounded Yang Jingyu, and urgently convened a puppet Manchurian special team composed of anti-United traitors to participate in the war. After several hours of fierce fighting, General Yang died heroically.
The statement that General Yang was killed by the Japanese aggressors originated from the records of the reasons for Yang Jingyu's sacrifice in the archives of the enemy and puppet troops at that time. Among them, the Battlefield Journal named A Record of the Battlefield records: "On February 23rd, 2007, in the highland six kilometers southwest of Mengjiang County, Yang Jingyu asked the villagers for food. Upon receiving the report from the residents of Baoan Village, members of the security headquarters (including the fingerprint search team) immediately dispatched and fought for 20 minutes, killing the bandit leader Yang Jingyu. The items seized are: a pistol from Mao Se, bullets 160 rounds; 30 rounds of guns in Box 2; Box three guns, one with 40 bullets. Cash is 6660 yuan, watches 1 piece, pens 1 piece, seals 1 piece and other sundries. " According to the report of "Yang Jingyu Confrontation Forum" published in Pseudo-Concord Magazine (No.933, 1940), "the reported farmers are heading for the meeting place. However, it seems that I knew in advance when I went, and there was no one on the date. I only saw a row of big footprints going up the hill. In this way, the person who walked at the head didn't use voice, but signaled that there was a figure on the other side of the mountain. So, the whole team was divided into two classes, one from the top of the mountain and the other from halfway up the mountain. With a click, they shot at the figure in the gap over the mountain. People over there roll and flee like big ostriches. I asked four or five people to stay at the top of the mountain to monitor the whereabouts of the figure, and I took my own people to catch up. At this time, I have seen that the running strength of the other party has been exhausted. He fired another shot with two pistols. The distance between me and the enemy is 50 meters. It's no use resisting, surrender! We advised him to surrender again, but he didn't answer. It was a pistol bullet. Play! "Kill him!" Even more than 30 meters, he has been in a dilemma. Then we divided into two groups. Intense shooting starts from two aspects. About 10 minutes of fighting, I don't know which side the bullet hit the enemy. "Pa da" fell down. I saw this with my own eyes. "
Yang Jingyu was killed by the Japanese aggressors. But the problem is that the Japanese, who are used to being serious and good at digging into details, have made a vague treatment on the key question of who killed Yang Jingyu this time. They used the words "shoot" and "hit" in all their records. They only wrote down "shooting Yang Jingyu" in the battle log, but they didn't record who shot him.
In fact, Yang Jingyu's sacrifice is not only a great event in the history of the Northeast Anti-Union War, but also a "great achievement" in the history of Japanese aggression against China. Because of the "crusade" against Yang Jingyu, Nobuhiro was promoted from the commander of the 699th Japanese Kwantung Army and the commander of the "crusade" against the southern gendarmerie to the defense commander (Lieutenant General) of the capital (Xinjing Changchun), and Ryuichiro Masatani was promoted from the police chief of Tonghua Province to the second minister of Tonghua Province, the second minister of Jehol Province and the second minister of Shanxi Province, and all the other officers and traitors were rewarded accordingly. Therefore, the Japanese probably didn't want to let the "leader" who shot Yang Jingyu go to his home, so they deliberately played down the treatment and covered up the truth.
There was only one bullet left, and he committed suicide.
For a long time, due to the fuzziness of Japanese and puppet archives, there are different opinions about the historical truth of Yang Jingyu's sacrifice. There is information that he ended his life with the last bullet, which once occupied the mainstream. According to Wang, director of General Yang Jingyu Memorial Hall in Jingyu County, in the early 1950s, it took a lot of effort to find and confirm the murderer of Yang Jingyu. At one time, according to the legend of the masses in Baoan Village, Jingyu County, it was believed that "suicide theory" was the reason for Yang Jingyu's sacrifice. So, how did this statement come from?
It turned out that "only the last bullet left to commit suicide" came from Lin Changgui, a woodcutter in Baoan Village. The thing is, on the day of Yang Jingyu's sacrifice, Lin Changgui was also firewood outside the three roads. When the Japanese puppet "crusade team" went up the mountain, it happened that he was caught red-handed and carried him to the foot of the mountain. After Yang Jingyu's sacrifice, the body was brought back by Lin Changgui's small sledge. Later, when I met a military vehicle, I abandoned the sledge and pulled Yang Jingyu's body to the vehicle. Although Lin Changgui did not appear at the first scene at close range, he had contact with the traitor of the "crusade team" and knew some relevant facts. In the early 1950s, Zhang Xuesi, vice chairman of the Northeast Administrative Office, came to Jingyu County to express his condolences to the people in the old liberated areas. After hearing the story of the village chief Liu protecting Yang Jingyu's body, he praised: "You have made contributions to the people." At this time, Lin Changgui also took the hearsay Yang Jingyu's "suicide theory" as his own experience at the scene and told Zhang Xuesi and reporters: "When Yang Jingyu saw that there was only the last bullet left, he shouted: I would rather die than eat Manchukuo's food! Then committed suicide. " Since then, Yang Jingyu's "suicide theory" has been widely circulated in the society.
At that time, Yang Jingyu's sacrifice had a great response among the local people, and the statement that "Yang Jingyu committed suicide with only the last bullet" was also in line with General Yang's image in the eyes of the masses. Even authoritative institutions such as China Military Museum have exhibited in this way for a long time, so this statement was not questioned at that time. Someone else killed Yang Jingyu.
With the publication of the Japanese puppet data "Battlefield Journal", the real reason for Yang Jingyu's sacrifice gradually became clear. The Battlefield Journal tells people that Yang Jingyu did not "commit suicide", but was killed by the enemy with a machine gun. The question of who killed Yang Jingyu was put on the agenda. According to the pseudo "A Brief History of Public Security in Manchukuo", "Shotani gave an order:' Kill him!' "When the machine gun shooter pulled the trigger, Yang fell down." There is no doubt that the "machine gun shooter" mentioned in the pseudo "Miniature History of Public Security in Manchukuo" is the culprit who killed Yang Jingyu. But for a long time, this machine gun shooter had no name or surname, so there was no way to check it. 1983, in order to find out the truth, Shi Zhiban, Jingyu County found Zhang Xiufeng, the former platoon leader of the First Anti-Union Army who defected to the enemy on February 1940. According to Zhang Xiufeng, "Yang Jingyu was killed by Zhang Xiruo, which is absolutely correct. During the recovery period, after the dissolution of Cheng Brigade, everyone went home. He's still with Cheng Bin. I don't know where he is now. "After getting Zhang Xiruo's clues from Zhang Xiufeng, the relevant personnel spent more than two years in careful investigation and interview, and clues began to appear. So, who is Zhang Xiruo?
According to reports, he is a famous machine gun shooter in Chengda Brigade, originally from Benxi, Liaoning. 1935 joined the anti-union, the first division of the first army machine gun shooter. /kloc-0 defected with Cheng Bin in June, 938, and was awarded the title of Special Forces Shooter in the intensive training and study held in Puppet Manchuria Tonghua Province. 1940 65438+ 10 On 9 October, he put a machine gun on a branch and fired at the Anti-Japanese Union in the Dingzi battle in Chao Cuo, Mengjiang County. Yang Jingyu shot and wounded him. He was sent to Shenyang for treatment for more than a month, and then returned to Mengjiang County to recuperate. Later, the headquarters of Puppet Tonghua Province in Mengjiang received a report from Yang Jingyu that he sprained his ankle in Mishima. Because the troops "crusaded" in the mountains and had no soldiers to send at the moment, they gathered the wounded soldiers who were recovering in the county and sent them to the scene. And his brother Bai, machine gun assistant shooter and ammunition gunner Wang Zuohua were included in the first batch of rapid advance teams, and they were next to the shore valley. When the enemy shouted to Yang Jingyu that surrender was useless, Kishi Nobusuke gave Zhang Xiruo an order to "kill him". Zhang Xiruo immediately pulled the trigger and Yang Jingyu fell on the snow in front of the tree.
At that time, the Japanese puppet troops were drinking celebration wine in Mengjiang, and Zhang Xiruo was sitting on the chief. He boasted to people: "Just when he (Yang Jingyu) lifted his legs to run, I ordered him here (pointing to his chest)." The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. The wine table suddenly got cold. Zhang Xiufeng, the former special guard platoon leader of the Anti-United First Route Army who defected, stood in front of Zhang Xiruo with a glass across the table and cursed dully: "Bastard! Don't die! " Zhang Xiufeng's gaffes made the members of Cheng Bin's "crusade team" unable to drink like an infectious disease, and finally the celebration party broke up in discord.
After the movement of "eliminating counter-revolutionaries" began, Zhang Xiruo, who had settled down in Meihekou, heard that the wind was bad, found an alliance with Wang Zuohua, who was also in Meihekou, and told Wang Zuohua, "Don't tell me at any time that I shot and killed Yang Jingyu. In case someone exposes you, you carry it, and I'll raise your mother and send you a prison meal. I have a big family, involving a family. If I want to be single like you, I will die with you. " At that time, Wang Zuohua also promised faithfully. Soon, Wang Zuohua went to prison, where he insisted that "Yang Jingyu committed suicide". Zhang Xiruo did send something to Wang Zuohua and firewood and money to his mother. But after the wind tightened, Zhang Xiruo moved to Sanyuanpu in Liuhe County to hide, refusing to admit that he killed Yang Jingyu. 1958, Bai went to prison and met Wang Zuohua at Zhenlai labor reform farm. After talking, they realized that they had been "fooled" by Zhang Xiruo. It was not until 1965 that Wang Zuohua exposed the fact that Zhang Xiruo was the murderer of Yang Jingyu, and finally died in prison. It can be said that being a traitor is not an adult, and it is difficult to be a ghost!
Many years after the "Cultural Revolution", in the backyard of the second team of Liu Jia Brigade in Sanyuanpu Town, Liuhe County, when someone asked about Yang Jingyu, Zhang Xiruo was unhappy and refused to admit that he had participated in the anti-Japanese Coalition and did not kill Lao Yang. "I wasn't there that day, but I went to Shenyang to recuperate. Sure enough, it's white and them and so on. When Zhang Xiruo showed Zhang Xiruo the relevant photos in the Battle Log, he was particularly sensitive. In the face of himself and Cheng Bin and others in the photo, Zhang Xiruo still waved his hand again and again: "Who is the man above?" ? I don't even know. People in China look alike, which makes the Japanese think that people in China look similar. "Many old anti-Japanese alliances are also very angry about this. Huang Shengfa, a guard in Yang Jingyu, advocated that the murderer of Yang Jingyu should be brought to court, and Wang Chuansheng, the instructor of the Youth Iron Team, also agreed with this idea. However, after legal consultation, it is said that the prosecution period has passed, and second, without valid evidence, things will go away.
The vicissitudes of life, the years are like a rock. The deceased has passed away. No matter how General Yang Jingyu died, his spirit of defending national dignity and defending the country will not die out. History will not forget, nor will the people. Let us always remember this people's hero!
