On September 6, 1949, Yang Hucheng and his family arrived in Geleshan, Chongqing. The agent parked the car at the foot of the mountain and asked Yang Hucheng to stay in Dai Gong Temple for a few days.
Dai Gong Temple is located in the back mountain of Bai Gongguan Prison. The secret agents deceived them that they would fly to Taiwan in a few days.
The former site of Dai Gong Temple
Since the Xi'an Incident, Yang Hucheng and his family have been imprisoned for twelve years. The Kuomintang's restrictions on their personal freedom have made them lose the ability to resist. So, one group of people followed the secret agent towards Dai Gong Temple.
As soon as they entered Dai Gong Temple, the spies who had been lying in wait jumped out of the shadows.
In this long-planned important assassination, the KMT superiors demanded that it must be carried out secretly and no shooting was allowed, so they chose to brutally massacre Yang Hucheng's family and his entourage with daggers.
When Yang Zheng, the eldest son of Yang Hucheng, was about to open the door and enter the bedroom, a spy immediately struck and stabbed a knife into his waist. Yang Zheng screamed and fell in a pool of blood in pain.
Yang Hucheng and his family members
Yang Hucheng heard his son's painful cry and ran over quickly. The gleaming dagger immediately plunged into Yang Hucheng's chest, blood spattered all over the floor, and he fell down. Before he died, he opened his eyes and looked in the direction where Yang Zheng was killed.
The agents all carried out their deadly attacks. No one in the group of six was spared. They included Yang Hucheng's wife, secretary Song Qiyun's family, and two children less than ten years old: Yang Hucheng's daughter and the Song family's couple. youngest son.
After the operation was over, the agents deliberately dragged the bodies of Yang Hucheng and Yang Zheng and his son out of the house, poured highly corrosive nitrate water on their faces, and finally buried them in the soil, just to completely cover up their bodies. identity.
This devilish behavior was not known to the public until Yang Hucheng's body was dug out of the flower bed in the early morning of December 11, 1949.
Chongqing Liberation Scene
When the corroded corpses of Yang Hucheng and his son appeared in front of people, grief like rain once again washed over this newly liberated and devastated city-Chongqing.
At the same time, the Chongqing Public Security Bureau immediately launched an investigation and arrest of the Kuomintang agents, and continued to deepen the investigation.
After arresting thousands of spies, Chongqing Public Security locked down , the murderer who had participated in important assassination missions of the Kuomintang many times and killed famous revolutionary martyrs such as Yang Hucheng, Luo Shiwen, and Huang Xianshen, but he could not be found for a long time.
He is the great executioner of the Kuomintang - Yang Jinxing.
But Yang Jinxing’s crimes did not stop there. Apart from these familiar revolutionary martyrs, more than 300 revolutionaries died tragically under his butcher knife.
Where did the criminals of such a long history escape to? How did he become such a heinous murderer step by step?
Yang Jinxing
Military Command Bureau and Dai Li
In 1917, Yang Jinxing was born in Zhejiang. At that time, Zhejiang had entered a period of direct rule by Beiyang warlords..
Zhejiang GovernorYang ShandeIn order to put pressure on the Zhili warlordLi Yuanhong, he declared the independence of Zhejiang and has since carried out a military dictatorship over Zhejiang.
But in September 1924, Zhejiang's situation completely ushered in a turning point: the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War broke out.
The Zhili clique warlords attacked from the north and south. Lu Yongxiang, who controlled the power in Zhejiang at that time, was defeated and resigned. Zhejiang was ruled by the Zhili clique warlord Sun Chuanfang.
This war between Jiangsu and Zhejiang has done great damage to Zhejiang. The residents are in exile and homeless.
The Jiangsu-Zhejiang War
The Jiangsu Provincial Peasants’ Association once complained in a message to the State Council: “ During the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War, the army passed by, villages and towns were in ruins, people were migrating, unemployment was high, and the rich were poor, and the poor died. . ”
Yang Jinxing grew up in such an environment. At a young age, he was a victim of the warlords’ struggle for fame and wealth. He witnessed countless tragedies, wandering around with his relatives in his hometown, and struggled with people’s fear and self-preservation. Survive. His past experience made him well aware of the suffering of the people at the bottom, but in the end he chose to stand on the opposite side of the people.
In 1940, Yang Jinxing entered the Military Control Bureau of the Kuomintang.
In that year, the Kuomintang united with the Communist Party to fight against Japan. The Military Control Bureau internally purged pro-Japanese factions; externally, it collected Japanese and puppet intelligence, assassinated Japanese puppet dignitaries, and launched guerrilla attacks against Japan, cooperating with frontal battlefield operations.

Yang Jinxing was transferred to Chongqing and served as a guard at Wanglongmen Detention Center.
Wanglongmen Detention Center was a prison set up by the Kuomintang Military Command Bureau during the Anti-Japanese War. In order to detain communists and progressives, it was later merged and collectively known as Zhazidong Prison.
This is an extremely ironic thing. The prison where Yang Jinxing worked during the Anti-Japanese War proved: Even during the Anti-Japanese War, which was related to the survival of the country, the Kuomintang never stopped targeting and persecuting the Communists.
The slogans of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party United Anti-Japanese Front were like a gauze covering the prison hidden underneath by the Kuomintang. Yang Jinxing worked there for the Kuomintang for four years, tortured and persecuted countless patriots and revolutionary martyrs, and was appreciated by Dai Li, the leader of the Military Command Bureau.
The one in the middle is Dai Li.
Dai Li is the most powerful person among the Kuomintang officials that Yang Jinxing has access to. He relies on Chiang Kai-shek 's trust in him to completely control the general situation in his hands, and he responds to everything.
But Dai Li is quite hypocritical in his treatment of his subordinates: while pretending to care about his subordinates, he gives honors and official titles to his subordinates, and even more generous rewards for important tasks; while taking the lives of his subordinates as a child's play, just because Many spies were executed for other people's one-sided words and Dai Li's few jokes.
Yang Jinxing, who had just joined the military command, became fully familiar with Dai Li's preferences and followed him. He never made any mistakes in the past six years.
Dai Li
Until March 17, 1946, Dai Li died in a plane crash. After losing the backer he had relied on for many years, Yang Jinxing was quickly demoted from his position as an aide-de-camp to the Bai Mansion and became an ordinary caretaker.
In the past few years , he followed Dai Li to kill traitors, Japanese, and political opponents.
Dai Licao's iron-blooded methods of taking human lives were deeply ingrained in his mind, completely numbing his empathy for life. But now he has come to the Baigongguan Prison where countless revolutionary heroes have been imprisoned and tortured. From now on, his knife will only face the Communists.

Chongqing 11.27 Massacre
Yang Jinxing did many evil things while working at Bai Gongguan. Without Dai Li, Yang Jinxing's cruelty and unscrupulousness were unabashedly displayed in front of people.
He was happy to use various torture instruments to torture revolutionaries to extract confessions. Often in order to obtain information before others, the torture methods were even more inhuman.During this period, he also actively participated in the assassination missions against revolutionary martyrs:
In August 1946, he shot dead Luo Shiwen and Che Yaoxian, then heads of the Sichuan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, in Geleshan, , and burned their bodies with gasoline. The ashes of the two were buried somewhere in the mountains and forests to cover up the news that the two had been assassinated.
Statues of Luo Shiwen and Che Yaoxian
They were left in Chongqing forever. It was not until Yang Jinxing was taken to the scene for identification nine years later that their bones were seen again.
On the morning of September 13, 1947, Yang Jinxing deceived Shang Chengwen, Zhu Nianqun, and Zhang Changao into a bungalow and killed him. After the three people died, Yang Jinxing was worried that one of them was not completely dead. When his accomplices couldn't bear to look at the death of the three people, he carried out the frenzied act of whipping the corpse: using a T-shaped iron pickaxe to directly hit the corpse.

In this way, with his bloody merits commended by the Kuomintang, he was quickly promoted to the warden of the Chengbai Mansion. He plans to keep working hard like this, but the fate of the Kuomintang is in danger.
In September 1949, Yang Jinxing, as a key participant in the assassination of Yang Hucheng, competed with his accomplices for credit in front of his superiors. I hope that through this mission and the nine years of working for the Kuomintang, I will get the opportunity to follow Chiang Kai-shek and escape to Taiwan.
Like a lizard trying to survive by cutting off its tail, no matter how hard Yang Jinxing fought, the KMT leaders chose to abandon this young man who had borne countless blood debts for them: kept him on the mainland and issued the final order to massacre Bai Gongguan Zhazi Cave. , personally pushed him into the climax of the killing - the 11.27 massacre.
The "11.27" tragedy
In fact, as early as September 6, 1949, the Kuomintang carried out a premeditated and planned massacre of communists and patriotic democrats imprisoned in Chongqing until the end of November 30.
In this three-month massacre, the massacres in Baigongguan and Zhazidong on November 27 were the most brutal and had the largest number of victims, with more than 200 people martyred in total.
As the warden of Bai Mansion, Yang Jinxing resolutely carried out the massacre order from his superiors.
He took out the Communists one by one, shot them, and searched for their property. When it was Huang Xiansheng's turn, General Huang, who fired the first shot of the Anti-Japanese War in Shenyang and led the Northeastern Army to fight against the Japanese invaders, calmly put on his clothes, secretly brought a short knife, and decided to fight with the spies when they attacked. They died together.
Huang Xiansheng led the Northeast Army to resist the Japanese
He was pushed by the secret agents and walked in front. When he reached the wooden bridge outside Bai Mansion, before he had time to look back to see the situation clearly, Yang Jinxing fired a cold gun from behind a few meters away from him. Huang Xianshen He glared angrily, cursed after being shot, drew his dagger and rushed towards them.
During the sprinting distance, Huang Xiansheng slowly fell down with gunshots every step of the way. Yang Jinxing walked to his body and shamelessly took off the gold watch from Huang Xiansheng's arm from the pool of blood.
A survivor who survived the massacre recounted the tragedy she had witnessed in her memories of June 17, 1982: "一一·二七" During the massacre, the secret service pulled a couple to the stairs. Mouth, I heard the cries of two babies in the cell. The cries were so loud that the gunfire could not cover them up.

A woman’s voice kept pleading: ‘ Leave the two children here, and you can shoot me more. ’ The agent replied decisively: ‘No, we must eradicate the roots! ’ The female voice continued to beg, her emotions became more and more agitated, her voice was choked and trembling.
Her husband said in frustration: ‘Stop talking. ’ In the end, the whole family was massacred."
That cold-blooded and ruthless agent was Yang Jinxing. He thoroughly implemented the orders given to him by the Kuomintang and did not spare a single life, even of children who were still sleeping in their infancy.
used machine guns to attack unarmed people without distinction. Shooting, blood spread out from the iron bars of the cell and formed a river out of the ajar door.
The gunshots sounded like thunder on a rainy night, deafening. In the cell, the revolutionaries shouted "Long Live the Communist Party of China". "Long live Chairman Mao", the sound was more majestic than thunder.
They fell down one by one, accumulating a foot or two of blood. Their roars were like their souls, floating in the sky above the corpses. .
On the pine forest slope behind Bai Mansion, there are several large pits filled with piles of corpses. None of them look human, and none of them can be identified.
Countless names have been buried without seeing the light of day. Because of a light instruction, the heavy life came to a dead end.

At 11 o'clock on the morning of November 29, this was Yang Jinxing's last murder of life
He was ordered by his superior Zhou Yanghao. , 32 revolutionaries detained in the New World Hotel were taken to the woods next to Bai Mansion and killed, including liaison officer Ai Zhonglun and Huang Xiya, a member of the New Youth League who was only 21 years old at the time. Carrying a magazine, a pistol , and a pair of red eyes protruding outwards, he shot six innocent lives alone
Yang Jinxing could obviously not execute this order. The army outside the city pressed on and Chongqing was liberated. It's a foregone conclusion.
The former site of Bai Gongguan.
The conscientious guards are struggling, thinking about whether to release the people in prison, and use their last good deeds to find a way out in court.
For example, working with Bai Gongguan. The guard Yang Qindian opened the cell door after his superiors withdrew, and Luo Guangbin, Guo Dexian and other 19 people were able to successfully escape from this bloody massacre.
But Yang Jinxing did not do this. He waved the last bullet crazily like a madman. With the butcher's knife, people were slaughtered as easily as animals. Yang Jinxing used a blood-soaked paintbrush to outline this desperate picture of hell.
Finally put down the pen, The blood behind him is like a mirror, reflecting his hastily running back.
Mass report
On November 30, 1949, Chongqing ushered in liberation. Some people walked out of this prison standing on their feet, some were carried out on stretchers while lying down, and some were buried in the soil and were dug up early one morning to identify their names.
Their souls walked magnanimously on the land they loved deeply. Their lives were printed in newspapers and praised, and future generations will remember and mourn them forever. After the Kuomintang agents withdrew, the victims' families rushed into the prison to look for the bones of their relatives. Several centimeters of blood accumulated on the ground, and everyone wailed in front of the unrecognizable charred corpses.
Yang Jinxing ran away amid such cries. He got into the security office's car and hurried away in the direction of Chengdu. He evaded capture by his victims, evaded the court that tried him, and evaded decades of bloodshed.
Picture source network
He left behind the last trace of guilt for his life, took the gold watch ripped from Huang Xiansheng’s body, and his wife and children to Nanchong County, Sichuan, where he remained anonymous. But can he really get away with it?
In December, the public security vigorously launched an investigation into the murderers of revolutionary martyrs in Bai Gongguan and Zhazidong. They quickly rushed to Chengdu to investigate, going deep into the details, and issued wanted orders to various places.
Countless spies were arrested one after another, but Yang Jinxing could not be found. After confirming that he had not fled to Taiwan, public security officers conducted overt and covert visits but found no whereabouts of him.
At this time, Yang Jinxing had taken root in Nanchong County and changed his name to Yang Dafa.
He met a simple farmer on his way to escape Nanchong with his wife and children.
He lied that he was from Guang'an and was doing business in Chengdu. On his way home, he encountered bandits and robbed him. He had lost all his money and had nowhere to stay.
The kind-hearted farmer burst into tears when he saw him bringing his wife and children, so he helped him stay in the third village of Qingju Township to make a living. Yang Jinxing, who received help, successfully evaded police investigation for four whole years.
In the past few years, he has pretended to be a decent person, without any violence to kill anyone. During the land reform, he was classified as a poor peasant. Yang Jinxing rushed around the village in disgrace every day, never missing any village meeting, and rushing to do the hard work. With this hypocritical diligence, he was rated as a model laborer.
He has read books and can read. The teacher at the literacy night school taught him and he could learn it instantly. Every time he spoke at the seminar, the methods he proposed were clear and logical.
In order to cover up his past identity, he desperately tried to turn over the past and contribute to the village as much as possible.
One day, when he dared to show off his quick words, he got into an argument with his wife, who knew everything about trivial matters. The wife sharply asked: "The government is arresting spies everywhere, do you dare to go to the countryside and confess! "
He suddenly Be quiet and say nothing. My past actions are like needles piercing my flesh. But he just kept silent, unmoved, pretending that nothing happened and continued to live.
But the people in the village heard the question and began to doubt his origin.
He disguised himself as a poor man. Someone remembered that when they entered the village, Yang Jinxing's wife's permed hair and fashionable dress were incompatible with the women working in the fields.
At that time, Yang Jinxing was still wearing a precious gold watch on his wrist, and he was spending a lot of money. He claims to be illiterate, but he can write Chinese characters fluently.
At first, no one thought much about it. He was proactive and put in a lot of efforts in the village, and they could not doubt his identity as a spy.
However, in the first census conducted nationwide in 1953, Yang Jinxing's casually lied identity was found to be false.
Doubts that were laughed off in the past began to become strange, and the truth became increasingly clear.
As a result, the masses reported the situation to the police one after another. The police, who had been pursuing him for several years, took action after hearing the news and carefully verified his identity. After
determined that this person was Yang Jinxing, he immediately took action and successfully captured him in 1955.
At first, Yang Jinxing was unwilling to admit his identity and firmly stated that his name was Yang Dafa.
No matter how the police interrogate him, he insists on his status as a poor man, a model worker, and his family is in Guang'an, trying to use this cunning to get through, until the interrogator mentions that his superior Zhou Yanghao and others were captured and confessed everything. guilt.
He began to relax and admitted his identity.
Under constant questioning by the interrogators, he confessed his crime and assassination process of killing two families, Yang Hucheng and Song Qiyun, as well as Luo Shiwen and Che Yaoxian. After 40 days of trial,
was sentenced to death at the sentencing conference on May 16, 1958. Then he was taken to the execution ground and executed.
Yang Jinxing was arrested
Whatever you sow, you will reap.
After the sentencing meeting was held in the morning, the execution gun was fired in the afternoon. Even if Yang Jinxing escapes for several years, his trial will never be absent. A dirty and cruel murderer finally stopped breathing, and the slaughtered heroes in the sky finally closed their eyes.
The blood shed by our revolutionary ancestors when they died has turned into farmland that will not be disturbed by war, and into a peaceful and peaceful childhood for us and our parents.
We recall Yang Jinxing to remember those revolutionary martyrs who left their names and those who did not, and to remember their deepest love for the nation and the people that they screamed before they died.
