"Why is he here? " Liu Qichang, who was hiding from the rain, suddenly saw a man who should never be in this place. Looking at the military uniform on the man, Liu Qichang was so surprised that he was speechless.
The good times didn't last long, and Liu Qichang's identity as a traitor was soon discovered. In order to make meritorious service, he revealed a shocking secret - the traitor who killed Yang Jingyu was an official in the People's Liberation Army!
Lone Hero
In January 1940, in order to allow the large troops to continue their march northward, they strived to obtain resource supplies as soon as possible. Yang Jingyu decided to personally lead a small team to hold back the Japanese army.
It was a severe winter in Changbai Mountain at this time. The snow on the ground was several feet thick, there was a lack of supplies, and the enemy was determined to bite them. Only Yang Jingyu was left in the team.
Yang Jingyu was wearing thin clothes, could not find any food in the ice and snow, and had a cold that was not getting better, so he stubbornly hid for more than a month.
On February 23, 1940, the extremely weak Yang Jingyu had already lost his strength. The Japanese army followed his footprints in the snow and chased him up and surrounded him.
They shouted all the way, " Surrender, Yang Jingyu, if you surrender, you will be the commander" and "If you catch him alive, you will catch him alive".
Yang Jingyu used the rocks next to him as a bunker, fought while walking, and responded to the enemy's persuasion to surrender with constant bullets fired.
In the end, Yang Jingyu, who was exhausted physically and mentally, died in the enemy's capture. He was only 35 years old at this time.
After Yang Jingyu died, the Japanese army was puzzled that he could survive so many days in the mountains at more than 20 degrees below zero. After all, there was no village nearby, and there was no edible food in the ice and snow.
So the Japanese army decided to dissect Yang Jingyu’s body. When the scalpel opened Yang Jingyu’s stomach pouch, there were only grass roots, bark, cotton wool, and not even a grain of food inside. The brutal Japanese soldiers present were all shocked.
It is said that a Japanese officer who witnessed the entire anatomy process saw the unconquerable integrity of the Chinese in Yang Jingyu, and became suspicious of the "holy war". From then on, he was in a trance. He first poisoned his wife and children, and then committed seppuku.
The person who put Yang Jingyu into such a desperate situation was one of his most valued subordinates-Cheng Bin.
Receiver Relevant Rise to High Level
Cheng Bin was born in Jilin in 1912. At that time, the Cheng family was relatively wealthy, so they sent him through middle school successfully.
After graduating, Cheng Bin knew that he was not good at studying, so he went to work as an apprentice in a watch shop to learn a craft that could support him in the future.
However, after the September 18th Incident, due to the Kuomintang's non-resistance policy, the Northeast region quickly fell into a Japanese colony, and the people were in dire straits.
The young Cheng Bin also wanted to join the revolution with enthusiasm. Yang Jingyu and Cheng Bin had their first interaction at this time: Cheng Bin joined the anti-Japanese squad where Yang Jingyu was.
Due to his bravery in combat, Yang Jingyu quickly noticed this young man. In addition, Cheng Bin's education level was considered relatively high at the time, so Yang Jingyu began to want to promote him.
In just a few years, Cheng Bin was promoted to the commander of the First Anti-League Division. He was only 23 years old at this time.
The First Anti-Japanese Division is Yang Jingyu's old unit. Under his leadership, he used guerrilla tactics to flexibly deal with the Japanese army, causing great losses to the Japanese army, and relying on the capture of Japanese weapons to achieve full Japanese weapons.
Yang Jingyu handed over this unit to Cheng Bin, which not only affirmed Cheng Bin's personal ability, more importantly, it showed Yang Jingyu's absolute trust in Cheng Bin.
1938 was the most important watershed year in Cheng Bin's life. A decision he made not only caused huge losses to the Anti-Japanese Alliance, but also dealt a devastating blow to Yang Jingyu, leading to his eventual death. .
This year, the Japanese army set its sights on the distinguished First Division of the First Resistance Army, gathering forces from all parties and launching a large-scale attack on the First Division with heavy troops.
After many battles, the First Division suffered extremely heavy losses. The revolutionary base area was destroyed by the Japanese army, and contact with the military headquarters where Yang Jingyu was located was cut off.

Cheng Bin had no choice but to lead his army into the mountains. Without supplies, he could only eat weeds when he was hungry. Everyone became more and more hopeless for the future of the team.
At that time, the Japanese army adopted the "Three Guangs" policy for ordinary people, and established a special organization "Changdao Work Class" for anti-alliance soldiers, composed of spies and traitors who were good at demagoguery.
They used coercion and inducement to induce surrender. They promised high-ranking officials and generous salaries to induce surrender. In addition, they threatened the lives of the families of the anti-union fighters to surrender.
This whole set of surrender policies made the people of the Anti-Alliance Army panic, and some even surrendered directly to the Japanese army without firm willpower.
There are so many things to guard against, but it’s hard to guard against house thieves!
Under the constant encirclement and suppression by the Japanese army, the days of the Anti-Japanese Alliance became more and more difficult. The Japanese army closed the mountains, cut off contact with the outside world, struggled to supply supplies, and fought less and less, making life more and more difficult.
would still hope for friendly rescue at the beginning, but as the days passed, Cheng Bin found that he could not see the future of the team at all, and felt that everyone might have to give up here.

But the people who made Cheng Bin fall into eternal damnation were his two former good brothers.
On February 13, 1938, An Guangxun, chief of staff of the First Division, was injured in the battle and was captured by the Japanese army while he was recovering from his injuries.
In order to survive, An Guangxun directly defected to the Japanese army, and in order to please the Japanese, he took the initiative to offer advice.
He believes that if he wants to eliminate Yang Jingyu, he must first eliminate one of his divisions. It is difficult to destroy them from the outside, but they can be disintegrated from the inside.
As a good brother of the First Division Commander Cheng Bin, An Guangxun knew that Cheng Bin was deeply trusted by Yang Jingyu and could not rebel easily.
But he also knew that Cheng Bin was a filial son and valued his family very much, so he suggested that the Japanese army start with Cheng Bin's family.
The Japanese were overjoyed after hearing this and immediately ordered An Guangxun and Hu Guochen to come to Cheng Bin's hometown and arrest all Cheng Bin's family members.
After that, countless photos of Zhang Chengbin’s family being tortured were posted in the mountains. Cheng Bin was very anxious when he learned that his family had been arrested.
Soon a Japanese spy quietly contacted Cheng Bin. After some ideological struggle, Cheng Bin decided to go down the mountain and surrender.
If Cheng Bin really wanted to save his family, his behavior would be excusable. However, in order to be reused by the Japanese army, he even quietly persuaded his subordinates to surrender together.
On June 29, 1938, Cheng Bin, the commander of the First Division who was deeply trusted by Yang Jingyu, led 115 of his soldiers to rebel .
The Japanese immediately spread the news of Cheng Bin's rebellion everywhere, and used this incident to lure more anti-alliance fighters to surrender. For a time, the troops were disorganized, and more and more people began to join the Japanese camp.
After defecting to the Japanese, Cheng Bin was eager to make meritorious service and climb up the ladder. However, he had lost contact with Yang Jingyu's troops for some time and now he had no idea where Yang Jingyu was. Cheng Bin knew Yang Jingyu very well and once boasted: "I can tell if the shooter is Yang Jingyu just by listening to the gunfire."
So in order to capture Yang Jingyu, the Japanese specially formed a team of more than 300 people and Appoint Cheng Bin as captain.
Before Cheng Bin surrendered to the enemy, Yang Jingyu's life was indeed difficult, but after Cheng Bin joined the Japanese camp, Yang Jingyu was directly forced into a desperate situation.
In addition to personally leading the team to capture Yang Jingyu, Cheng Bin also devised two poisonous plans for the Japanese.
The winter weather in Northeast China is extremely bad, and the mountains are blocked by heavy snow. If you don't have enough food, you will be trapped in the mountains and you will die.
In order to solve this dilemma, Yang Jingyu created " secret camps" based on the local situation. Built "secret camps" throughout the mountains and put food, weapons and ammunition in them, so that Yang Jingyu's troops They can fight guerrillas everywhere. Even if they catch up with the Japanese encirclement and suppression, they can still rely on the "secret camp" to maintain their combat effectiveness.
Cheng Bin's first plan to the Japanese army was to tell the Japanese army the locations of dozens of "secret camps" he knew, and to lead his men to destroy these places one by one.
Yang Jingyu, who lost follow-up supplies, faced the continuous encirclement and suppression by the Japanese army, ran out of food early, and fought against the enemy hungry.
According to the memories of the Anti-Japanese War fighters at that time: There was nothing to eat in winter. There was not a single blade of grass in the forest. The trees were so frozen that the bark could not be peeled off at all. Even the grass roots and bark could not be eaten.
In the past, the Anti-Japanese War fighters stayed in hiding at night. Cheng Bin's rebellion left Yang Jingyu with no time to breathe. He kept avoiding the Japanese pursuit day and night.
At that time, the Japanese army had a big weakness. They could not figure out the local terrain, especially when they entered the forest. They could not distinguish between southeast, northwest and northwest. At night, they could not find any trace of the anti-alliance fighters.
Most of the anti-war fighters are locals, and they know the local terrain very well, so they will not get lost even in the dark at night.
So, when the Japanese army was chasing Yang Jingyu in the mountains, they only had to take shots from the Anti-Japanese Alliance at night in the mountains and forests. Generally, they would withdraw early before dark and find a flat and open place to set up camp and wait until dawn the next day. I would go into the mountains and forests later, but after one night, the anti-Union fighters would have disappeared.
The dark night has become the protective color of the Anti-Japanese Alliance fighters. No matter how difficult the day is, they can move their positions and have a good rest at night; even if they are surrounded by the Japanese army, the Anti-Japanese Alliance soldiers can successfully break out of the encirclement at night.
However, after Cheng Bin rebelled, he proposed to the Japanese army: pursue the Anti-Japanese Alliance day and night, especially at night, and never give them a chance to breathe.
After learning about the Japanese army's concerns, Cheng Bin volunteered. The Japanese army continued to pursue them during the day, and Cheng Bin personally led his troops to attack at night.
In order to train Cheng Bin, Yang Jingyu could be said to have given everything to him, so that Cheng Bin knew Yang Jingyu's way of thinking very well and could accurately predict Yang Jingyu's next plan in every battle.
In this way, the anti-union soldiers were being pursued by the enemy all day long and did not dare to relax at all. But even so, the number of casualties gradually increased, and everyone gradually began to be unable to bear it.
Overnight, Yang Jingyu fell into a desperate situation with no food and medicine, and was constantly being pursued by the Japanese army. He eventually fell to the enemy.
transformed, but could not escape sanctions
Japan began to celebrate because it eliminated Yang Jingyu, a major problem. Cheng Bin also received the attention of the Japanese army. He followed a Japanese general to Shanxi and became the captain of the police brigade.
In 1945, the Japanese army was defeated and surrendered. Cheng Bin learned the news from the radio. Without a backer, he was panicked and began to seek a good way out for himself. So
and several other colleagues killed all the more than 80 Japanese in the headquarters, and then waited and watched to see who would have the last laugh, the Communist Party or the Kuomintang.
At that time, both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party sent people to negotiate with him, but Cheng Bin was negotiating with the representatives of the Kuomintang while he was conciliating himself with the representatives from our party.
He told his men: "Both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are willing to take us in, but it depends on who gives us the greater benefits."
At that time, the Kuomintang was in full swing. Cheng Bin felt that this was the real army, and the Communist Party could only be regarded as "communist bandits."
In addition, Cheng Bin was also worried that he had too deep grudges with the Communist Party in the past. He did not believe that he would still get something good if he fell into the hands of the Communist Party.
After Cheng Bin thought of joining the Kuomintang, he killed three representatives of our party in an extremely cruel way.
So Cheng Bin joined the Kuomintang without hesitation, and worked as an official and part-time official under Chen Mingren.
But then the situation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party changed dramatically. The Kuomintang was defeated like a mountain, but Cheng Bin was not optimistic about it. The Communist Party is about to win nationwide victory.
After the liberation of Shenyang, Cheng Bin immediately fled to Beiping. At that time, he did not give up and still had severe ties with the Kuomintang. and became a Kuomintang agent.
He had also planned to find the right time to take his family to Changsha and continue to serve the Kuomintang.

Unexpectedly, Peiping was liberated before Cheng Bin went south, so he simply kept doing nothing, forged his identity certificate, hid his identity and infiltrated into the North China Field Army.
At that time, the country was in turmoil and everything was in a state of exhaustion. Our party very much welcomed knowledgeable and educated talents.
In addition, the war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was at a tense moment, and there was not much energy to carefully investigate them one by one.
This gave Cheng Bin an opportunity to successfully join the People's Liberation Army, and he rose through the ranks to become the section chief of the Ordnance Department of the Logistics Department.
In 1951, not long after the founding of New China, everything in the country was developing in a good direction.
At that time, the number of special agents left by the Kuomintang in the mainland was extremely high. In order to specifically eradicate the influence of the Kuomintang in the mainland, they launched the "anti-counterrevolutionary campaign" to clean up the spies.

Kuomintang agent Liu Qichang was arrested during this period. During the interrogation process, he remembered the man he met in Beijing not long ago.
As his former bodyguard, Liu Qichang swore that he would never admit the wrong person, so Liu Qichang confessed Cheng Bin in order to make meritorious service.
Tianwang was meticulous and meticulous. On May 29, 1951, Cheng Bin was shot, ending his criminal life.
History cannot be forgotten. The crimes committed by these traitors will never disappear. They will always be nailed to the pillar of shame in history and be denounced by people!
