[1] General Yang Se-bong has joined several independence organization training and leading resistance fighters against the Japanese military and police in Manchuria and Korea.
[2] Yang Won-bong was born as the eldest of siblings into a poor farming family in Yeonsan-dong, Seri-myeon, Cheolsan, North Pyongan Province, and his nickname is Byeokhae.
[3] An anti-Japanese consciousness sprouted in his young heart as he saw the Japanese invasion spread to this area, plundering innocent residents and committing all kinds of atrocities.
[5] However, due to declining fortunes, it was no longer possible to live in the country, so in the harsh winter of 1917, he moved with his family to Geumguchon, Sado-gu, Heunggyeong-hyeon.
Chŏnma (Chonma-san) in Sakju-gun, North Pyongan Province, and worked to destroy Japanese ruling institutions and purge pro-Japanese activists.
[2][3] In 1922, he supported the anti-Japanese movement in connection with Kim Myeong-bong (金明奉) and Jeong Chang-ha (鄭昌夏), the leaders of the independence group.
[2] In early 1923, the so-called subjugation plan of the Japanese Empire against Cheonmasandae resulted in all kinds of atrocities being committed, including attacking and setting fire to Koreans living in the area as well as the base of the independence army.
The General Directorate of the Liberation Army was an armed group launched in Anzi District, Guanzhen County, China in September 1920.
[2][3] Appointed as a platoon leader of the 3rd Company of the General Staff Headquarters, he fought with the Japanese police at Seongnam-dong, Chosan-gun, Pyeongbuk, and Gosan River, Ganggye-gun, on May 16, 1924, killing several enemies.
When they received information that the Governor General of Korea Makoto Saito, the culprit behind the Japanese occupation, was patrolling the Yalu River, the border area, on the 19th of the same month, they joined forces with the 1st Platoon led by Platoon Leader Han Woong-gwon of the 2nd Company of the General Staff Headquarters and took part in a battle that was beyond the reach of Japanese security.
In the end, the big task of punishing the Governor-General of Korea was nothing more than an attempt, but it was an operation that shook Japan's nerves with the intelligence and execution power of the Korean Independence Army.
This incident led to the Japanese colonial government signing the so-called Samshi Agreement (三矢協定), the so-called Samsi Agreement (三矢協定), in 1925 between Samsi (三矢), head of the police department of the Japanese Government General of Korea, and the police chief of Bongcheonseong in Manchuria, and the Chinese authorities As it had the obligation to suppress the independence movement, the activities of the independence army suffered a significant blow.
[2] In June 1924, he led a platoon of the General Staff Headquarters and entered Ganggye and Wiwon, Pyeongguk Province and engaged in combat with the Japanese police.
At the end of the same year, he was promoted to the 3rd commander of the Chamuibu and participated in anti-Japanese armed activities and Builbae in the area of Hwajeon County in southern Manchuria.
When he was cornered, he and his crew quickly launched a rescue operation and provided covering fire, but suffered the tragic death of dozens of independence fighters, including General Shin Pal-gyun.
In July 1924, a general meeting of the All-Manchurian Unification Council was held in Jilin, where an agreement was reached on Daedong unity.
[2] The Righteous Government organized all sectors, including local military finance, administration, education, and judiciary, in accordance with the national system.
However, in September 1925, less than a year after the establishment of the Righteous Government, Yi Sang-ryong, who was appointed as the first Prime Minister of the Provisional Government, met Oh Dong-jin, Kim Dong-sam, and Yun Se-yong, leaders of the independence movement in Manchuria, Lee Yu-pil (李裕弼), Kim Jwa-jin (金佐鎭), and Hyeon Cheon-muk (玄天黙), all three representatives of the Righteous Government, General Staff Headquarters, and Korean People's Association in Manchuria, were appointed as provisional cabinet members, leading to the independence movement calling for an armed struggle in Manchuria.
[2] As a result, the Righteous Government solidified its foundation as a Han administration with a distinctly republican identity in the southern Manchurian region.
Afterwards, in September 1928, representatives of the General Staff Headquarters, Righteous Government, and the Korean People's Association in Manchuria gathered at Shinandun near Jilin and attempted to unify the three departments, but as they were unable to achieve their goal, the following year, in April 1929, the Norean People's Association in Manchuria's Civil Affairs Committee (representative) led by the Righteous Government's Lee Kyo-won and the General Staff Headquarters' Shim Yong-jun gathered together to form a new military government, the National People's Prefecture.
In just one year, 1932, his troops crossed the Amnok River 16 times, leading fundraising and attacks on institutions, as well as punishing pro-Japanese factions.
They were attacked by the police at the Japanese consulate branch of Tonghua, who had been tipped off by the Bominhoe, a pro-Japanese pro-Japanese group, including Lee Ho-won, the chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the Korean Revolutionary Party, Kim Bo-an, the commander of the Korean Revolutionary Army, Vice-Commander Jang Se-yong, Deputy Director Park Chi-hwa, and Guards Captain Lee Gyu-seong.
In March 1932, the teacher led three companies, including Chief of Staff Kim Hak-gyu and Company Commanders Cho Hwa-seon, Choi Woon-gu, and Jeong Bong-gil, and joined forces with Chinese volunteer troops Wang Dong-heon and Yang Seok-bong to capture the Fusun Cheon Geum-chae (撫順 千金寨) at Wangqing Gate in Xinbin County.
Upon hearing this information, the enemy Kwantung Army stationed in Sinbin County armed themselves with heavy weapons such as mortars and machine guns and attacked the Allied forces.
[2] In this battle, the Allied forces achieved great success by capturing numerous trophies, while also serving as an opportunity to reconcile the conflicts between the Korean and Chinese peoples and further solidify their ties.
Afterwards, until October, the Korean Revolutionary Army fought several major battles, but it was difficult to avoid being inferior due to the lack of air power.
Through the contribution of Wang Dong-heon, who was the commander of the Chinese side of the Liaoning People's Self-Defense Force at the time, we reflect on the bloodshed of the Korean Revolutionary Army.
[2] In January 1933, as China's Tangquo unit disintegrated and collapsed, a convening meeting of the leaders of the Korean Revolutionary Army was held at Moksudun, Namui, Wangqingmun, and he was reappointed as Commander-in-Chief and Park Dae-ho as Deputy Commander.
At the same time reorganized the unit into three districts, and appointed Ko I-heo as general-in-chief of the Korean Revolutionary Party and Kim Dong-san as vice-chairman of the National People's Prefecture.
[2] In June of the same year, he dispatched Chief of Staff Kim Hak-gyu to Beijing, contacted Tang Qiuo, who had withdrawn to China, and requested support from Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist government.
