Chinese ethos
Spiritually, be as lofty as a rainbow across the sky ―― full of lofty ideals and courage.
Roots full of cotton wool,
Fight to the last man.
Even if the enterotomy is broken,
I still make Japanese slaves cry.
By hanging the old camp,
I miss the spirit of kuya.
Forever integrity,
There is still dust on the bonfire.
Show China descent,
Chixian wins Changchun.
In today's place where loyal bones lie,
The cemetery in Bai Sen is lush.
Yang Jingyu's name has been widely circulated in China as a model of national hero for many years. He led the northeast anti-Japanese Coalition forces to fight bloody battles with the enemy in the harsh environment of dense forests and snowy areas, and made strategic contributions to the national war of resistance. He himself fought to the last man with grass-roots cotton wool and set up an immortal spiritual monument in the hearts of hundreds of millions of people.
■ He lured a warlord out, and suddenly a man rushed up to grab a gun. Soldiers ran after him. He threw down the silver dollar and said, "This is your fare." Queshan County Agricultural Association fired the first shot.
■ I have fought with the Japanese aggressors for many years, and I still fought to the last person with one shot.
Yang Jingyu, 1905, was born in a peasant family in Queshan, Henan. Yang Jingyu was an alias when he went to work in Northeast China. He lost his father when he was a child. At the age of seven, he entered the private school in the village with the help of his uncle. 13 years old, admitted to the first high school in the county. Influenced by the May 4th Movement at school, he stepped forward to lead a strike and burn Japanese goods. 1In the autumn of 923, Yang Jingyu was admitted to Kaifeng Industrial School. During my study, I accepted the ideology of * * * productism, joined the * * * Youth League in the summer of 1926, and soon joined the Party.
At the end of 1926, in order to cooperate with the Northern Expedition, Yang Jingyu was appointed as the president of the county farmers' association. At that time, the peasant associations had only knives and spears, but no guns. Yang Jingyu cleverly set up a plan to lure a warlord out and suddenly rushed up to grab a gun. The soldier chased after him, and Yang Jingyu took out the prepared silver dollar and threw it behind him, saying, "This is your fare." When the soldiers got the money, they deserted, and the Queshan County Agricultural Association fired the first shot. 1927 After the failure of the Great Revolution, Queshan County Committee launched an autumn harvest riot at the end of 10, and Yang Jingyu was the commander-in-chief of the newly-built peasant revolutionary army. Soon, he was injured in the leg during the battle with the "suppression" enemy and was sent to Zhumadian for treatment. 1928 spring, worked underground in Henan after recovery. At the end of the year, he was ordered to go to Shanghai to attend a secret training class run by the CPC Central Committee. 1in the spring of 929, he was sent to work in the northeast.
After Yang Jingyu went to the Northeast, he first went to Fushun Coal Mine to engage in a workers' movement, where he was arrested by Japanese spies and extradited to the Northeast warlords. He was imprisoned for more than two years, and was released at the beginning of 1932. Later, he served as the secretary of the Military Commission of the Central Manchuria Provincial Party Committee, focusing on integrating the anti-Japanese guerrillas centered on the Panshi area of Jilin, and sent party cadres to carry out work, making it the earliest armed force mastered by the Southern Manchuria Production Party, and named it the Southern Manchuria guerrillas of the 32nd Army of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army. 1933 At the beginning of this year, Yang Jingyu personally went to this unit with only 250 people as political commissar. In order to unite all walks of life, he changed the name of the team to the People's Revolutionary Army. Drawing lessons from the experience of the Party in establishing the Red Army in the south, he personally formulated regulations on political work, joining the army, preferential treatment for soldiers, and fighting rewards, which enabled the army to grow and develop in the struggle against the Japanese puppet army. 1934 became the first army of the people's revolutionary army, with more than 4000 people, and he served as the commander. In the same year, in the absence of the Second Congress of the Chinese Soviet held in Ruijin, Jiangxi Province, Yang Jingyu was elected as an executive member of the Central Committee, indicating that the CPC Central Committee has regarded him as a representative of the revolutionary forces in Northeast China.
1935, the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army combined with other anti-Japanese armed forces to form an anti-Japanese coalition, with Yang Jingyu as the commander and political commissar of the First Army and later as the commander-in-chief of the First Route Army (subordinate to the First and Second Armies), which opened up a vast guerrilla zone in dozens of counties in Dongfang Road (now eastern Jilin and Liaodong). His basic troops numbered more than 7,000, and he also led the United front relations troops of about10,000, becoming the largest main force in the anti-Japanese alliance.
In order to consolidate the strategic rear, the Japanese invaders tripled the troops of the Kwantung Army in 1938, and replaced the puppet Manchukuo Army, which was not active in combat, with the puppet Mongolian Army, thus strengthening the "Great East Expedition" against South Manchuria. Some non-party mountain armed forces failed to withstand the arduous test and collapsed and defected one after another. Yang Jingyu came to break through and set up a secret camp in Changbai Mountain. After being lured to surrender and hit a wall, the Japanese invaders launched a blockade and "crusade" in the winter of 1939, when the mountains were closed by heavy snow. Because the enemy followed the snow footprints, the smoke filled the air, and the troops had no food and clothing, Yang Jingyu decided to disperse and break through. Finally, he took more than 60 people to the east. Because one of the staff officers betrayed his whereabouts, only two people were left around after the fierce battle, and they were blocked in the mountains near the logging yard by the Japanese invaders. 1940 February 18, two guards went down the mountain to buy food and died. On February 23, he went down the mountain alone and was surrounded. He fought to the end and died heroically.
■ The Northeast Anti-United Front fought in the dense forest and snowfield, and it was tied with the Red Army Long March and the three-year guerrilla war in the south as the three hardest struggles in the party's history.
Yang Jingyu, an intellectual from a poor peasant family, became an important founder and leader of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition in the struggle, which was shaped by the specific historical environment in which the Chinese nation was invaded by foreign invaders and oppressed internally. Ethnic hatred and class hatred, coupled with the guidance of revolutionary ideas, will make people glow with indomitable fighting spirit and fighting spirit that was unimaginable at that time.
The dense forest life of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Forces "the fire warms the chest, and the wind blows the cold behind it" ranks as the three hardest struggles in the history of the Party, along with the Long March of the Red Army and the three-year guerrilla war in the south. The conditions of the anti-United struggle are arduous, not only because the Party's work and mass base in Northeast China are relatively weak, but also because the enemy and invaders regard the local area as a strategic springboard for invading China and attacking the Soviet Union, as well as special difficulties such as underdeveloped transportation, sparsely populated remote rural areas and winter lasting for half a year. At the last minute, although Yang Jingyu knew that he and his troops were desperate, he firmly believed in the bright future of China's national liberation and was willing to sacrifice himself for total victory. This is not only the outstanding embodiment of party member's dedication, but also the valuable virtue of China with lofty ideals.
■ Imprisoned for two years, tortured by Japanese spies, such as pouring pepper water and kerosene, hanging on the wall and sitting on a tiger stool. He is indomitable.
■ He is a revolutionary poet who is good at writing lyrics in the Anti-Union Army.
Yang Jingyu once told people that he went to two universities, one was a "social university" and the other was a "prison university". When he was working in the white area, he was arrested five times and imprisoned for more than two years. 1929, he went to a Japanese mine in Fushun to engage in labor movement, and was betrayed by traitors. Japanese spies identified him as the "leader" and tortured him for five or six days by pouring pepper water, kerosene, hanging on the wall and sitting on a tiger stool. Although he is dying, he never repents. In prison, he studied hard. After he got out of prison, he went to a new battlefield with newly learned knowledge and stronger will.
In the anti-Japanese coalition, Yang Jingyu was also a revolutionary poet who was good at writing lyrics. When the troops are at rest, he always teaches singing to boost morale. In addition to his favorite song "Internationale", he also wrote many poems in secret camps, some of which were sung in the whole army. Among them, the famous poems are Song of the First Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces and Song of Victory in the Western Expedition. Magnificent words-"Sixteen armies of Manchuria. Many people rise up and bravely kill the enemy, and the motherland will surely recover "-many years later, I still feel magnificent.
■ Going down the mountain alone to buy food is surrounded by Japanese invaders. He waved two guns and knocked down five enemy troops in a row.
■ The Japanese invaders cut open the remains, and there were only grassroots cotton wool in their stomachs; When the hero's head was found after liberation, the frostbite on his face was still clearly visible.
Five days before Yang Jingyu's death, two guards went down the mountain to find food for martyrdom. The Japanese invaders found Yang Jingyu's seal on the body, and it was estimated that he was on the nearby mountain, so they stepped up the blockade of all roads. Five days later, in the afternoon, Yang Jingyu went to the roadside of Sandaowaizi alone and met several firewood collectors, asking them to buy him food and cotton shoes. One of these people is a fake Manchu "Captain Ka" and went back to the village to report him. The "crusade team" arrived soon and surrounded Yang Jingyu, who could not run, in a small forest.
According to the records left by the Japanese army, they gradually approached 50 meters and loudly persuaded to surrender. The other party "didn't even agree, but also shot at the crusade team with a pistol." Five members of the crusade team were shot (1 dead and 4 injured). Seeing that it was difficult to capture them alive, the Japanese army opened fire violently. After the besieged man landed with a pistol in his left wrist, he still fought with a mauser pistol in his right hand. A bullet hit the chest and the opponent was "knocked down and desperate." According to tracking estimates, the Japanese army thought that he had been short of food for half a month and had been completely out of food for at least five days. It is incredible that he can persist in the forest without a house at MINUS 20 degrees Celsius, so he sent the body to the county hospital for autopsy. Cut open the intestines and stomach, only grass roots and cotton wool can be seen. The nurse in China couldn't help crying, but the Japanese officer said sadly, "He is a hero of zhina!"
To celebrate the so-called "victory", the Japanese Kwantung Army cut off Yang Jingyu's head and sent it to the puppet Manchukuo "Xinjing" (Changchun) for preservation. At the same time, we made an exception and held a memorial ceremony and funeral for the remains where the martyrs died, taking Yang Jingyu's tenacity as an example to punish his subordinates. After the liberation of Changchun, the hero's head soaked in the potion was found, and the traces of frostbite on his face were still clearly visible. Yang Jingyu's head left a mark (used as a statue) and was buried with his body in Tonghua Martyrs Cemetery.
