In fact, this is the tomb of the 51st Division Engineering Battalion of the 74th Army in Nanjing after being secretly instructed by Chiang Kai-shek to blow up China’s number one traitor Wang Jingwei .

After a closer inspection, someone found that his jacket was still in his pocket. There is a 3-inch note with four large characters written on it, which is quite ironic to read .

Picture: Wang Jingwei
Early following Sun Yat-sen
In the history of my country's resistance to foreign invasion in modern times, there have been many traitors and running dogs who betrayed the country and the people because of their greed for wealth, and the most famous of them Will belong to Wang Jingwei.
Wang Jingwei studied in Japan in his early years. Because of the influence of Sun Yat-sen, he joined the Tongmenghui. He often promoted the Three Principles of the People. For Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao, he also put forward the constant emperor theory. Rebuttal, Because of this, Wang Jingwei was once very popular with Sun Yat-sen.
1910,Because of the failure to assassinate the regent Zaifeng , Wang Jingwei was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment. At that time, he even thought of serving the country with death.
However, after Wuchang uprising, Yuan Shikai ordered someone to release him, Wang Jingwei began to secretly work for him, and then Li not only advocated Sun Yat-sen's revolution and constitution, but also encouraged him Unite to support Yuan Shikai. A few years later, the Communist Party of China was established, and Sun Yat-sen proposed to prepare for the reorganization of the Chinese Kuomintang. Wang Jingwei, who was already a member of the Kuomintang headquarters at the time, opposed this matter vigorously.
On March 12, 1925, Sun Yat-sen passed away due to illness. Wang Jingwei immediately convened a meeting. First, the Generalissimo’s Mansion was abolished, and the Kuomintang’s highest administrative organ was changed to . In the position of the first chairman of the National Government, he began to want to win over Chiang Kai-shek, after all, he controlled the military power of Huangpu Military Academy.
As for Chiang Kai-shek, he also had his own ambitions. Under the circumstances at the time, he also needed to consolidate his position in the KMT, so he reached a cooperation with Wang Jingwei.
The entanglement with Chiang Kai-shek
During the period, the two jointly solved the two major opponents in the Kuomintang Hu Hanmin and Xu Chongzhi, and then began a secret contest, Chiang Kai-shek intends to expand himself. The forces of the People's Republic of China set their sights on the party and government areas controlled by Wang Jingwei, and Wang Jingwei also intends to extend his hand into the army controlled by Chiang Kai-shek, so the contradictions between the two are also increasing.
In the spring of the following year, Chiang Kai-shek proposed the Northern Expedition in order to quickly seize power throughout the country. At this time, both the Soviet Union and the Chinese Communist Party expressed their opposition, thinking that the timing was not right, and Wang Jingwei also disagreed with him.
As a result, in March of the same year, Wang Jingwei was elected as a member of the Central Executive Committee. Chiang Kai-shek suddenly launched the Zhongshan ship incident , which simultaneously attacked the Communist Party and Wang Jingwei and the Kuomintang leftists. Soon after, Wang Jingwei moved to another place. On the grounds of seeking medical treatment, he resigned and went to France.
In April 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched anti-communist activities in the country, and then specially invited Wang Jingwei to return to the country, so the two reached a second cooperation and began to plot a revolutionary coup.
Not long after the April 12 counter-revolutionary coup broke out in Shanghai, the Kuomintang army arrested and slaughtered communists in Shanghai, causing hundreds of deaths and thousands of missing.
In July of the same year, Wang Jingwei launched the 715 counter-revolutionary coup in Wuhan. He continued to attack, arrest and massacre communist members. He completely betrayed the program of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. After the September 18th Incident broke out, Wang Jingwei embarked on the road of no return of treason.
On the road of treason and no return
At that time, under the pressure of Japanese imperialism, and because of the lack of confidence in the backwardness of the old China, Wang Jingwei was afraid of war. The Japanese side made peace, and subsequently signed the " Songhu Armistice Agreement" , which was humiliating and humiliating the country.
This agreement indicates that the Japanese army can stay in many areas of Shanghai for a long time, but the Chinese army cannot fortify here. It not only provides the Japanese army with an opportunity to accumulate strength,It also created conditions for them to carry out a full-scale invasion of China in the future.
From May to June 1935, with the approval of Wang Jingwei, He Yingqin signed the "Homei Agreement" with Japan. The content of the agreement was entirely based on the interests of the Japanese army, which finally led to China Sovereignty in Hebei was lost, and the Japanese army quickly began to divide North China. Later, under pressure from the Japanese side, Chiang Kai-shek worried that they would take the opportunity to invade Tianjin, so he signed the "Qin-Tube Agreement" . China once again lost most of its sovereignty in Chahar Province.
This incident caused great repercussions in the society. Soon an assassination against Chiang Kai-shek began quickly, and Wang Jingwei's destiny was about to usher in a turning point.
At the time, the patriot Sun Fengming was secretly dispatched by the "Assassin King" Wang Yaqiao and sneaked into the Kuomintang conference hall as a reporter. While waiting, the machine gun killed Chiang Kai-shek. As a result, when everyone was preparing to take a photo, Sun Fengming It was discovered that he did not appear, and Wang Jingwei was standing in the first row. Sun Fengming didn't think too much, directly pointed his gun at Wang Jingwei, and quickly fired three shots at him.
These three shots hit key positions on Wang Jingwei's body. One was on the lower cheekbone of his left eye, one penetrated his arm from the back, and the other hit him directly from the back. Next to the sixth and seventh thoracic spine bones.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Fengming was wounded and sent to the hospital for treatment, but unfortunately passed away. Although Wang Jingwei was not killed on the spot, the situation was not much better.
After the treatment, the doctor took out the bullet from his face and the temporal part ,But the only one on the back was too special to perform surgery, so Wang Jingwei could only keep it on his body. In the days that followed, this bullet also caused a variety of illnesses on his body.
The time came to August 1943. At this time, the Japanese army lost frequently on Pacific battlefield , and Wang Jingwei became more and more exhausted. In addition, the recurrence of old symptoms often caused pain in the back, chest and ribs. It also caused him to be tortured.
The bleak death abroad
But at that time Wang Jingwei did not dare to inform the Japanese side of his illness, so after the Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo invited him to Tokyo several times for consultation. How to save Japan’s death, Wang Jingwei had to fly over with illness.
And these repeated trips made his body weaker and weaker. In desperation, Wang Jingwei could only lie that his wife Chen Bijun needed to check his body, and tactfully asked Hideki Tojo to send him. Famous doctors came to Nanjing. The other party agreed to his request, so Wang Jingwei took the opportunity to ask a famous doctor to check on himself.
But even so, his condition never got better. It was not until later that he went to the Japanese Army Hospital in Nanjing for treatment, and the director, Major General Goto, performed the operation himself, and Wang Jingwei's condition finally recovered.
In January 1944, he sensed that his condition was getting better and decided to follow Japan further. However, within a few days, Wang Jingwei's body began to have problems again. Not only did continue to have a high fever, The wound left by the previous operation was also extremely painful, and the lower limbs gradually became numb, and finally he was directly paralyzed on the bed.
When the news reached Hideki Tojo, he once again sent a famous doctor to treat Wang Jingwei. The result of this diagnosis was that he was suffering from a very intractable "bone swelling." , Everyone decided to send Wang Jingwei to Japan for treatment.
However, on November 10, 1944, the hospital where Wang Jingwei was located had to be moved because of the repeated bombing of Japan by US warplanes. As a result, Wang Jingwei was infected in the process of moving to the basement and finally passed away tragically.
Chiang Kai-shek’s secret order bombing tomb
On November 12, the Japanese side sent Wang Jingwei’s body to Nanjing University Campus Airport , and the puppet government sent it to the Puppet State 15strong Auditorium. During , they recorded Wang Jingwei's previous words as slogans and posted them everywhere, trying to create an atmosphere of sadness. However, all they could hear was the laughter of the people in Nanjing along the way, because the traitor finally died!
Ten days later, the Wang puppet government wanted to hold a state funeral for Wang Jingwei, and chose the tomb site on Meihuashan at the southern foot of Nanjing Zijin Mountain. The shape design was similar to Zhongshan Mausoleum. The budget also reached 50 million counterfeit coins. Later, due to some special factors, they buried Wang Jingwei's body in the built tomb first.
Then Wang Jingwei's wife Chen Bijun worried that her husband's body would be destroyed by revenge in the future, and ordered five tons of steel to be mixed in concrete and poured on the tomb shell, and then she started again. The workers were urged to finish the work as soon as possible. As a result, the Japanese army quickly surrendered in August 1945, and the construction of the tomb had to be suspended.
soon,Those Japanese war criminals who launched the war of aggression against China have been tried in international courts one after another. As for the pseudo-regimes and pseudo-organizations that once served them, they have to accept the accusations of the country and the people. Wang Jingwei is the first. However, he was still "sleeping" in the tomb at the time. Therefore, the citizens of Nanjing asked the National Government to eradicate his tomb. Under pressure, Chiang Kai-shek gave this task to He Yingqin, the commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang Army.
In January 1946, He Yingqin convened a secret meeting to formally discuss with everyone that the tomb of Wang Jingwei, a traitor, should be disposed of, and he should not be allowed to stay next to the tomb of Sun Yat-sen.
Ma Chongliu, the engineer commander of the Army Headquarters, who was present at the time, said immediately that he had gone to survey before and found that Wang Jingwei's tomb was small but very strong. Nanjing Garrison Commander Qiu Weida directly proposed to use it. Explosives exploded the tomb, and the Mayor Ma Chaojun also echoed: "The main seat is to hope that the time can be as fast as possible, because there are other things to be organized and built, and it is best to dispose of it overnight." In the end, everyone reached a consensus, and the time for the bombing of the tomb was also set late at night on the 21st.
In order to prevent outsiders from knowing their plan, on the 18th, the National Government sent a number of military policemen to guard the scenic spot between the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, indicating that martial law would be enforced. Allow anyone to approach. As soon as the news came out, it quickly aroused discussion among the people in Nanjing. Those who had done bad things thought that the Nationalist government was going to catch traitors again, so they hurried to escape elsewhere.
Three days later, the tomb bombing operation officially began. The commander was Li Dongyang, the commander of the 53rd Division Engineer Battalion of the 74th Army in Nanjing, while Ma Chongliu, Qiu Weida, and Ma Chaojun were nearby to supervise.
According to the previous survey, if you want to successfully blow up Wang Jingwei’s tomb,About 150 kilograms of high explosives will be used, but fortunately they have prepared enough. Afterwards, in order to prevent the huge explosion from arousing the suspicion of the citizens, they prepared the sound as a cover. The next step was to explode the concrete steel bars outside the tomb, and then the inner cellar where the coffin was placed.
After everything was completed, Wang Jingwei's coffin appeared in front of him. Ma Chongliu immediately ordered his subordinates to open his coffin lid, so everyone quickly saw the scene in the coffin.
Because preservatives were used when entering the coffin, Wang Jingwei's body has not decayed, but there are some brown spots on the surface. In addition, he wears a blue sky and white sun flag on his body, a top hat, a navy gown , and a large ribbon on his waist, just like a government official. After
, under Ma Chongliu's order, the unrelated personnel temporarily retreated, while Ma Junchao stayed and continued to check in the coffin. At this time, he also suddenly discovered that there was an appointment in Wang Jingwei's jacket pocket. A three-inch long note with four words written on it: "The Return of the Soul" , signed by Wang Jingwei's wife Chen Bijun.
At that time, it was speculated that Chen Bijun wrote this sentence just after he transported Wang Jingwei's body back, which means to call souls, but this is ironic in the eyes of everyone. It is based on what Wang Jingwei did in the world. The evil things of the people will inevitably go to hell after they die.
After the tomb bombing plan was completed, Ma Chongliu ordered Wang Jingwei’s coffin to be transported to cremation. It is understood that Wang Jingwei’s ashes were blown directly into the furnace with a blower by the crematorium workers at the time. Nothing remained, as if Wang Jingwei had never appeared in the world.
