On September 18, 1931, the Japanese Kwantung Army launched the Mukden Incident, occupying all of Northeast China and subjecting the people there to untold suffering. At this moment of national crisis, the Communist Party of China stepped forward to shoulder the historic mission of "expelling the invaders and restoring our homeland." Yang Jingyu, a Communist Party member, took up the command "at a time of defeat and in the hour of peril," leading the soldiers and civilians of Northeast China in a bloody struggle against the Japanese invaders across the white mountains and black rivers. In 1935 alone, the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army annihilated 160,000 to 180,000 Japanese Kwantung Army troops in the three northeastern provinces, providing powerful support to the overall war of resistance.Yang Jingyu was tall and powerfully built, and he could race through the vast forests of the Northeast with astonishing speed, earning him the nickname "the Great Snowy Plains Ostrich" from the Japanese and puppet forces. His spirit and heroic deeds have taken on new life in the modern era, continuing to inspire young readers today.1931¿9¿18¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿1935¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿16-18¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
