In 1950, when the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau interrogated a traitor, it suddenly received shocking news. Zhao Yukun, a traitor of the Eighth Route Army who killed five heroes in Langya Mountain, , was still alive and lived in Beijing. It's very exciting, and it feels like you can get it without spending any time.
Zhao Yukun was originally a commander of the Eighth Route Army. General Song, who had worked with him, was awarded the military rank at the first medal ceremony held in New China in 1955 and became the founding general of the Republic.
and so on. If Zhao Yukun is not a traitor, he will at least have the rank of founding major general or above. So, why did Zhao Yukun, who had a promising future, become a traitor of the Eighth Route Army? What happened after he was arrested?
1937, after the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out, the Japanese army began a full-scale war of aggression against China, and North China was quickly occupied. Wherever the Japanese invaders went, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. Countless Chinese compatriots were slaughtered, and tens of thousands of people in China were displaced and homeless. They committed many crimes, and the Chinese nation was in danger, almost reaching an end to its destruction.
Faced with the atrocities of the Japanese army, countless Chinese people stood up and stood up to fight against the Japanese army. Under this situation, Chiang Kai-shek was forced to stop the civil war, cooperate with the Communist Party, raise the anti-Japanese flag, and fight against the Japanese invaders.
According to the requirements of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the three main forces of Red Army were reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, with three divisions under the 115th Division, , 120th Division and 129th Division. After the adapted Eighth Route Army headed to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War, the 115th Division led by Lin Biao quickly achieved a great victory in Pingxingguan, shocking China and the foreign countries, greatly increasing the morale of the Chinese military and civilians, thus also hitting the arrogance of the Japanese army and completely shattering its dream of destroying China for three months.
In October of the same year, according to the needs of the anti-Japanese situation, the central government ordered the 115th Division to divide its troops to develop, and part of the troops headed by the division commander Lin Biao developed to the southeast, and the political commissar Nie led some teams to open up the anti-Japanese base in Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei.
Nie arrived at the junction of Jinchaji Border Region , and was ordered to immediately establish Jinchaji Military Region . Nie personally served as the commander and political commissar, with several military regions under his jurisdiction. Among them, the former commander of the Independent Regiment of the 1115th Division, Yang Chengwu, was appointed as the commander of the First Military Region.
After Yang Chengwu led three main regiments and some scattered troops to the First Military Sub-district, he decided to develop rapidly based on this and continuously strengthen the strength of the troops. Soon after, due to development needs, Nie transferred Yang Chengwu's third regiment to Pingxi for development, and the second regiment was transferred to the Second Army Division, and immediately dispatched more than 5,000 people from Yang Cheng's army.
In this way, almost all Yang Chengwu's expanded number was transferred, and his troops returned to the original number. However, Yang Chengwu soon encountered a good opportunity to expand his army. He had just sent away more than 5,000 people, and then he took over more than 5,000 people led by Zhao, a native of Yi County. Suddenly, Yang Chengwu's troops became stronger and stronger in Mazhuang and their strength continued to increase.
In fact, Zhao Yukun was a butcher in his early years. Later, in order to make a living, he once served in Northeast Army . After the Xi incident, Zhang Xueliang was under house arrest by Chiang Kai-shek, the Northeast Army collapsed, and Zhao Yukun fell into trouble.
After the outbreak of the full-scale anti-Japanese war, Zhao Yukun also raised the banner of anti-Japanese war, pulled up an anti-Japanese team, served as commander himself, and Song Xueyi served as deputy chief of staff. Because Zhao Yukun had worked as a soldier and had some experience in leading troops, his team quickly expanded to several thousand people, which was a great shock to the local tyrants and evil gentry in Yixian and a person who was shocking the whole country.
Considering that working alone for a long time is not a good idea, it is inevitable that it is a little weak. Then, at the suggestion of Chief of General Staff Song Xueyi, Zhao Yukun led his troops to Lu Zhengcao . Lu Zhengcao, who is also the Northeast Army, led his troops to our Hebei Central Military Region and won the title of three columns of the Hebei Central Military Region.
In the winter of 1938, Nie ordered Yang Chengwu to lead a delegation to Yi County. Meng Gechen, the leader of the Seventh Route Army at that time, played a double-edged sword. Although he obeys the leadership of the Eighth Route Army on the surface, he actually bullies the market and plunders the lives of the people. The local people suffered greatly, and the people were in great pain.
Yang Wucheng's troops began to attack Meng and wiped out him in one fell swoop.Then, they comprehensively incorporated and rectified the seven-root army. At the same time, Zhao Yukun's three columns, who have been operating in the Yixian area, are also under the command of Yang Chengwu.
But at that time, due to Zhao Yukun's high position and power, he had five or six thousand people under his command. Under the direct leadership of Yang Chengwu, his future was bright. But after the Zhao Dong and Meng incident, he was very suspicious and mistakenly thought that the Eighth Route Army would come to pick him up next, so he secretly sent people to contact the Japanese, looking for opportunities, and took more than 200 confidants to the Japanese, completely becoming a shameful traitor.
Because Zhao Yukun had a large number of military secrets in a district, he was immediately valued after surrendering to the Japanese, helped the Japanese do a lot of extraordinary things and killed many Chinese military and civilians. Among them, killing the five heroes of Langya Mountain is one of their evil deeds. It was the summer of 1941, and Okamura Yasuji became the highest official of the Japanese invaders in North China. In order to achieve the goal of eliminating China within three months, the brutal Japanese officers mobilized heavy troops to siege our Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region shortly after they came to power.
Faced with the crazy sweep of the Japanese army, government agencies in Yixian, Dingxing and other places, as well as tens of thousands of ordinary people, all retreated to Langya Mountain to hide. Since Zhao Yukun is very familiar with the geographical environment around Langya Mountain, he must have known that this is an excellent hiding place. Therefore, when the Japanese army was searching the Langya Mountain area, they specially brought the traitor Zhao Yukun.
Zhao Yukun constantly gave advice to the Japanese army, requiring the Japanese army to divide the troops into two groups and surround Langya Mountain . At that time, due to the main force of the Eighth Route Army going out to fight, there were not many troops left in Langya Mountain. In order to cover tens of thousands of people, Yang Chengwu commanded the 3rd and 20th regiments to attack the Japanese army at the same time, forming a powerful firepower to attack the Japanese army, creating momentum to intimidate and paralyze the Japanese army.
Sure enough, the frightened Japanese army thought they were attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, so they hurriedly sent reinforcements from Langya Mountain. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the leader of a certain regiment, Yue immediately organized the masses to break through, leaving only one company to serve as a cover task.
After successfully completing the task of covering the safe transfer of the masses, the first company commander ordered the sixth squad to attract enemy firepower. At that time, there were only five soldiers left in the sixth squad, namely the squad leader Ma Baoyu, the deputy squad leader Ge Zhenlin, and the soldiers Hu Delin, Hu Fucai, and Song Xueyi. In order to hold back the Japanese army and give the large army time to break through, the sixth squad of soldiers have been leading the Japanese army to a dead end in the direction of Mopantuo.
After five hours of bloody battle with the Japanese army, the soldiers of the sixth squad had run out of ammunition and food, but in order not to be captured by the Japanese army, the five people bravely jumped and jumped off the cliff together. Therefore, it can be said that Zhao Yukun killed the five heroes of Langya Mountain. Without Zhao Yukun leading the way for the Japanese army, the Japanese army would not have advanced so quickly, and it would not have been possible to find a hidden place for the hidden masses.
In 1945, after Japan announced its unconditional surrender, Zhao Yukun lost its big backer. Because Zhao Yukun had served in the Northeast Army, he used this old relationship to hide in Beiping to make a living. Zhao Yukun wanted to spend the rest of his life in this way. This is really the fate of a man. After three years of Liberation War, the Kuomintang finally lost to Taiwan Province, and the Communist Party achieved the final victory and established the new China.
Zhao Yukun is very clear about the fate of traitors and traitors. In order to prevent being recognized by acquaintances in the future, he even disfigured himself and hid himself in the crowd. However, the net of heaven is vast and sparse without leakage. After the People's Liberation Army entered Peiping, it established a public security bureau and began a comprehensive investigation of the Kuomintang's hidden spies, straitors and traitors.
The Communist Party has influenced many spies and traitors to make contributions and atone for their sins in accordance with the principle of frankness and lenientness and resistance. When the Beijing Public Security Bureau interrogated the traitor, he confessed to Zhao Yukun. Since the traitor was Zhao Yukun's old subordinate, he often had contact with him and knew where he was hiding. Subsequently, the police arrested Zhao Yukun.
Learning that the traitor Zhao Yukun was arrested, all the cadres of the First Division of Beijing came to show their identity and applauded and cheered. Because so many senior cadres testified, in 1950, after a simple interrogation, the Beijing Public Security Bureau immediately brought Zhao Yukun to Yi County.
In Yi County, Zhao Yukun was sentenced to death after a public trial meeting of 10,000 people. With a gunshot, Zhao Yukun ended his life and got a shameful end.
