Just as Ito was ecstatic and walked to the high ground, a smile appeared on the corner of Yang Jingyu's mouth, and when Ito was less than fifty meters away from him, he "snapped" two shots, and Iteng fell to the ground in response.

Cui Guanfeng saw that the Japanese master was knocked down, and he was afraid that his head would not be protected in front of the Japanese army, so he led four or five puppet soldiers to jump up violently, shouting and scolding and rushing towards General Jingyu's hidden place, Yang Jingyu shot two more shots, and Cui Guanfeng's left leg bone was immediately broken.

Ito was killed, Cui Guanfeng fell to the ground again, Cui Guanfeng's puppet army immediately panicked, taking advantage of the enemy's chaos, Yang Jingyu led 7 people to rush down the high ground, shooting fiercely along the way, Cui Guanfeng's puppet army retreated again and again, Cheng Yubin's advance team was also disrupted in an instant, Yang Jingyu took the opportunity to take 7 soldiers to break out of the encirclement.

The two advance teams stopped their panic after Yang Jingyu and them went away, and Cheng Yubin immediately organized to continue the pursuit, and it was not until the evening that they found Yang Jingyu and them again along the snowy footprints. After a fierce battle, one soldier was killed, and only 6 people remained with Yang Jingyu, and 4 were wounded. Yang Jingyu immediately ordered the wounded guard Huang Shengfa to break through the siege with three wounded numbers to the north to enter the secret to feed the wounded, and he led two guards, Zhu Wenfan and Li Donghua, to continue southward in order to join Kim Il Sung's Second Army.

Yang Jingyu took Zhu Wenfan and Li Donghua to compete with the enemy in the snow to compete for perseverance, they were hungry to find some grass roots to satisfy hunger, and if they couldn't find it, they used cotton wool to satisfy hunger, and from time to time they stopped on the spot to block for a while, more than 600 puppet soldiers dragged people on their backs, were killed, wounded, frostbitten and frostbitten exhaustion There were more than 500 people, and in the end there were only fifty or sixty people left, sitting on the snow panting. Although they had been desperately following and even looking for footprints by striking matches in the snow, they still lost their target in the early morning of the 16th. Yang Jingyu, who had no food or clothing, and the three escaped from the enemy's sight again.

Hearing the news that Yang Jingyu had escaped again, Ryuichiro Kishitani scolded Cheng Yubin for being incompetent, and after calming down, he knew that it had become a fact, followed Cheng Yubin's advice, cast the net again, expanded the search area, and patrolled Yang Jingyu.

Yang Jingyu took Zhu Wenfan and Li Donghua all the way to the area of Sandaoweizi in Baoan Village, Mengjiang County on February 17, and there was no enemy trace for a kilometer around, making them feel safe for the first time in a month.

On February 18, Zhu Wenfan and Li Donghua suggested that they go down the mountain to find food, replenish food and then concentrate on rushing to join the Second Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.

Zhu Wenfan and Li Donghua walked into a village and bought some food, but they were not willing to eat it, and they were going to take it back to share it with Yang Jingyu. Due to the fact that when Japan controlled the Northeast, it was a system of armor protection and joint sitting, and a villager found something abnormal, fearing that he would be implicated, so he immediately reported to the nearby puppet army.

The two fought fiercely with the puppet army who heard the news, and finally died bravely because they were outnumbered. The puppet army searched for Yang Jingyu's seal from them, concluded that he was nearby, and immediately reported the situation to Ryuichiro Kishitani. Ryuichiro Kishitani immediately ordered a crusade team of more than 600 people to go into the mountains to encircle and suppress, and did not allow the firewood collectors to bring lunch into the mountains, so that Yang Jingyu could not get any food.

At this time, General Yang Jingyu was already alone, and he had defeated the enemy again and again with perseverance and strong physique at the last moment of his life, but he could not defeat hunger and cold. At this time, the cotton shoes on his feet were rotten into a ball, and they were tied with a rope so that they did not fall apart. Running in the ice and snow all day, his two big feet were frostbitten. Since the two guards had already died, he had to fetch the food himself, and in doing so he had to expose himself. He knew the danger of exposure, after many days of fierce fighting, the strength of his life was about to be exhausted, and he could no longer get rid of the enemy like he did on February 15 with the "Cui Guanfeng Advance Team" and "Cheng Bin Advance Team". But if you don't expose it, you will freeze and starve to death in the ice and snow. Yang Jingyu made a choice, in order to get food and cotton shoes, to find the troops, he had to be exposed, but only to the Chinese people, to buy food from them.

On the morning of February 22, 1940, Yang Jingyu waited for four villagers chopping wood in the mountains five miles west of Baoan Village in Mengjiang County: Zhao Tingxi, the pseudo-brand chief, and villagers Sun Changchun, Xin Shunli, and Chi Deshun. Since the police in the settlement did not allow the villagers who were chopping wood to bring food down the mountain, Yang Jingyu had to beg them to go back and bring some food and cotton shoes, and promised to give more money.

Zhao Tingxi, the puppet captain, also persuaded: "I think you should surrender, now Manchukuo will not kill those who surrender." ”

Yang Jingyu said calmly: "I am Chinese, I can't do such a thing." If all of us Chinese surrender, our China will be finished. Have a right conscience. ”

Zhao Tingxi and the others promised to go back and get him some food, and then broke up with Yang Jingyu.

Zhao Tingxi met the hardcore traitor Li Zhengxin on the way back. Because he was afraid that the other three would report their meeting with Yang Jingyu first, resulting in the killing of the whole family, he told Li Zhengxin about the incident, and Li was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately reported to Nishiya Daiya, who had been demoted to the rank of deputy police officer of the Mengjiang County Police Headquarters due to his ineffective pursuit of the revolutionary army. When Xigu heard the news, he immediately asked Zhao Tingxi to lead himself and a large number of Japanese puppet military police to round up Yang Jingyu.

Yang Jingyu in the shack was full of hope that the villagers would buy food for him so that he could continue fighting, but he heard the sound of the car engine, he knew that things were not good, so he quickly left the shack and ran towards the mountain.

At 4 p.m. on February 23, Ryuichiro Kishitani and Cheng Yubin led a team to find Yang Jingyu near 703 Sandaoweizi in Mengjiang. At this time, Yang Jingyu was hungry and cold, riddled with injuries, and in the face of the sudden appearance of the enemy, Yang Jingyu knew that the last moment had come.

Ryuichiro Kishitani tried to persuade Yang Jingyu to surrender, but all he could answer his shouts was the sound of pistol shooting. After fighting for a while, Yang Jingyu knew that there was no hope of breaking through, so he set fire to the documents he was carrying.

Zhang Jiruo, Bai Jianren and Wang Youhua were standing beside Ryuichiro Kishitani and Cheng Yubin at the moment, sweeping away the previous decadence, and when they thought that they could finally solve the nightmare of Yang Jingyu, the three of them became excited. On January 9, 1940, in the battle of Cuocao Dingzi in Mengjiang County, he mounted his machine gun on a tree branch to shoot at the Anti-Japanese Union, was shot and wounded by Yang Jingyu, and was sent to Shenyang for treatment for more than a month, and just returned to Mengjiang on February 21. His brothers, Bai Jianren and Wang Youhua, were left behind due to frostbite during the pursuit of Yang Jingyu on February 15, and were also confined to Mengjiang County to recuperate from their injuries, and this combat group, known as the "Iron Triangle", got together at noon on February 23 to play cards. Nishiya Daya received a report from Yang Jingyu in Sandaoweizi that because the troops were all "crusading" in the mountains, there were no soldiers to send for a while, so he gathered those wounded soldiers who were recuperating in the county town and sent them to the scene. Zhang Jiruo, Bai Jianren and Wang Youhua were organized into the first batch of rapid advance teams, following Ryuichiro Kishitani and Cheng Yubin.

At the last moment of his life, General Jingyu shouted and asked: "Who is the surrender of the Anti-Japanese Union, get out and I have something to say!" Cheng Yubin and Zhang Jiruo were so frightened that they shrank aside and didn't dare to say anything.

Ryuichiro Kishitani waved his hand, and the final attack began, with enemy bullets on all sides, Yang Jingyu knocked down several enemies who rushed in front, and at the same time he was shot in many places on his body, and after a pistol was shot in his left wrist and landed, he still responded with a shell gun in his right hand. Ryuichiro Kishitani gave Zhang Xiruo the order to "kill him", Zhang Xiruo immediately pulled the trigger, and the hero Yang Jingyu fell on the snow in front of a tree, and a generation of anti-Japanese heroes died heroically! The time was 4:30 p.m. on February 23, 1940.

At the moment when Yang Jingyu fell, Ryuichiro Kishitani did not feel a little happy, but had a feeling of wanting to cry.

Ryuichiro Kishitani ordered Yang Jingyu's body to be transported to the county seat, in order to establish his prestige, and in order to explain to the people who participated in the encirclement and suppression of Yang Jingyu's death over the years, he ordered Wang Youhua to personally cut Yang Jingyu's head with a guillotine.

Ryuichiro Kishitani is puzzled by the bravery and tenacity of Yang Jingyu, who has been besieged and cut off from food since February 15, how on earth is he survives? In order to solve his doubts, he ordered the doctors of Mengjiang County People's Hospital to conduct an autopsy to see what was in his stomach and intestines.

After dissection, it was found that Yang Jingyu did not have a grain in his stomach and intestines, and only saw undigested grass roots, tree bark and cotton wool. Jin Yuan, the chief surgeon who participated in the dissection and the director of the People's Hospital, was greatly moved, and Ryuichiro Kishitani said incredulously: "There is such a mighty and unyielding person in China, although he is an enemy, he also sighs when he sees his heroism: Great hero!" ”

Later, a "consolation sacrifice" was specially arranged for Yang Jingyu.

Ryuichiro Kishitani ordered Yang Jingyu's head to be put in a wooden box 25 centimeters long, 25 centimeters wide, and 35 centimeters high, with glass in front of it, and transported it by car to the provincial capital of Tonghua at that time.

Heroes shed blood, heroes are immortal! In order to compete for the spirit of the nation, Yang Jingyu shocked and impressed the invaders, and the Chinese people naturally did not forget this anti-Japanese national hero.

The news of Yang Jingyu's sacrifice spread, and the Northeast was shocked, and the people of the Northeast secretly carried out various mourning activities to commemorate this anti-Japanese national hero. Newspapers in various places publicized Yang Jingyu's heroic deeds, and the whole country was shocked, and various commemorative activities were held to see off the hero.

Lin Junxiong and Wang Biao, Zhao Xing, Da Zhuang and Liyuan were analyzing the collected intelligence and planning to attack the Japanese military office of Asahara, when Li Jintang told him the news of Yang Jingyu's sacrifice, Lin Junxiong recalled the eight-year war between Yang Jingyu and the Japanese invaders in the white water of Montenegro, recalled their several short but memorable meetings, and said with tears in his eyes for a long time: "Brother Yang, go all the way!" Junxiong will stick to your revolutionary footsteps and will continue your ideals! ”
