Chapter 32 2. Struggle in the toughest areas

The three eastern provinces became Japanese colonies, and Japan supported Pu Yi to establish the puppet Manchukuo in the northeast. In 1924, Feng Yuxiang expelled the last emperor Puyi from the palace.At that time, the government of the Republic of China gave preferential treatment to the Qing Dynasty, and it was written into the constitution that the Qing Dynasty lived in the Forbidden City. Puyi saw that the words of the Republic of China did not count at all, but he had no choice but to endure this tone. In 1928, the fatal blow to Puyi came. Sun Dianying, the commander of the 41st Army of the National Revolutionary Army and a former bandit, robbed Dongling.When Cixi was pulled out of the coffin, Cixi was lifelike at the time. She had just been buried for 20 years, and her body had not decayed.Now the ancestral grave of Puyi's family was dug. After the incident, the whole country was shocked.Feng Yuxiang hurriedly sent someone to find Sun Dianying, and said to him: "Brother Dianying, I admire your revolutionary spirit. We are good friends and comrades. I am doing a good job in opposing the Qing Dynasty. Puyi, a widow, was expelled from the Forbidden City; what you did was dead, you dug up the tomb of Cixi, and stole gold and silver treasures. You are more revolutionary than me. I just expelled the emperor from the palace, but you expelled the ancestors of Xuantong Throw it out of the grave." Regarding Sun Dianying's grave-digging and looting behavior, the national government has never said anything, and Pu Yi was so heartbroken that he followed the Japanese spies to the northeast and became the emperor of the puppet Manchuria.

The people of Northeast China who did not want to be subjugated slaves spontaneously formed the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army.The Volunteer Army did not have a unified leadership, and was quickly defeated by the Japanese army one by one.The largest unit of the Volunteer Army is led by General Ma Zhanshan, the former Heihe garrison commander of the Northeast Army and commander of the 3rd Infantry Brigade. On October 16, 1931, the puppet army Zhang Haipeng launched an attack on Nenjiang Bridge, and Ma Zhanshan led his troops to defeat it.He made it clear that "I was ordered to be the chairman of a province, and I have the responsibility to guard the land", "I still have a breath, and I will never dare to make the land of size a foreigner."Rise up to fight against Japan, fight bloody Nenjiang bridge, fire the first shot of armed resistance against Japan, and become a famous anti-Japanese general who is famous at home and abroad.

In order to strengthen the leadership of the anti-Japanese armed forces in the Northeast, the Communist Party of China sent a large number of outstanding cadres to organize the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces in the Northeast.Yang Jingyu, Zhou Baozhong, and Li Zhaolin are the main leaders. The Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance is an armed force led by the Communist Party. In the course of China's 14-year Anti-Japanese War, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance was the most difficult. The Northeast is a treasure land, and the Japanese say "I would rather give up the mainland than Manchuria".The eight major divisions of the Puppet Manchukuo in Changchun are still the offices of government agencies, hospitals, and schools today. They are majestic and sturdy.The Japanese thought that one day they would divert the emperor to Changchun and build the puppet Manchukuo in accordance with the enthusiasm of building their own country.Everything in the Northeast is good, rich in natural resources and mineral resources, forests, rivers, and plains, except for the severe cold climate.In the winter in the Northeast, all the leaves are gone, the bark is too frozen to cut with a knife, the roots of the grass are covered with snow, and the bears hibernate.It was not easy for the Anti-Japanese Alliance to persist in the Northeast until 1940. The Japanese Kwantung Army, known as the Flower of the Imperial Army, was the most elite army in Japan, with a maximum number of 750,000.When the Anti-Union had the largest number of people, it was 45,000, and the equipment was even more incomparable.After the establishment of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, it dealt a powerful blow to the Japanese invaders and shook the invaders' rear. The Japanese invaders had to mobilize a large number of troops to carry out frenzied encirclement and suppression again and again, and implemented the "Three-Year Public Security and Suzheng Plan". The Anti-Japanese Allied Forces lost contact with the higher-level party organizations, and local party organizations were devastated.Supplies such as food, medicine, and salt were completely cut off. Many outstanding commanders and fighters died heroically, and the troops suffered heavy losses.From 1939 to 1940, the guerrilla warfare of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces entered an extremely difficult stage of struggle. In 1940, Zhou Baozhong and General Li Zhaolin led their troops to retreat to the Soviet Union. In 1945, the 88th Infantry Brigade of the Soviet Far Eastern Front fought back with the Soviet Red Army. In fact, they were all veterans of the Anti-Japanese War.

General Yang Jingyu was unwilling to go to the Soviet Union and wanted to lead his troops into Shanhaiguan to join the Eighth Route Army. As a result, more than 300 people were surrounded by the Japanese and puppet troops, and the entire army was wiped out.Before being surrounded by the enemy, Yang Jingyu hid in the virgin forest alone for more than 20 days. There were no grass roots, and he could only eat the cotton jacket on his body.I was thirsty and grabbed a handful of snow. After more than 20 days, I couldn't bear it anymore. I went out to look for food and was surrounded by Japanese and puppet troops.The Japanese admired him very much, and the high-ranking official Houlu persuaded him to surrender. Yang Jingyu, who had been hungry for more than 20 days, exhausted his last strength and shouted: "Measure your Japanese pirates as small as four islands, and there is no power to destroy China."

The crusade team encircled Yang Jingyu step by step, approaching him step by step, and finally surrounded him completely.The Japanese kept trying to persuade Yang Jingyu to surrender, but he kept shooting at the crusade with his pistol.After 20 minutes of fighting, a bullet hit his left wrist, and his pistol fell to the ground with a snap.He continued to fight with the pistol in his right hand.Because of this, the crusade team gradually realized that it would not be easy to capture Yang Jingyu alive, so they stepped up their firepower.After the death of Yang Jingyu, the Japanese commander was very curious about how this Chinese general survived in a cold environment without food supply for dozens of days.An autopsy was ordered to try to find out the secret of survival and fighting in the wild under the conditions of hunger and severe cold. As a result, only bark, grass roots and cotton were found in Yang Jingyu's stomach.The invaders were horrified. Ryuichiro Kishitani, who killed the general, specially held a memorial ceremony for Yang Jingyu. Later, the man committed suicide on the eve of Japan's surrender.

In August 1945, when the Soviet Army liberated Changchun, a human head soaked in embalming solution was found in the Military and Political Department of the Puppet Manchuria, and it was ready to be discarded.At that time, there were personnel from the former Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, and they felt like the remains of General Yang Jingyu, so they stopped it in time and reported it to their superiors.Knowing that, Zhou Baozhong immediately drove to identify it. Faced with the remains of his comrades, Zhou Baozhong burst into tears, and then sent someone to preserve Yang Jingyu's head. At the end of 1948, he sent it to the Northeast Martyrs Memorial Hall in Harbin.
