Yang Se-bong (1896–1934) commanded the Korean Revolutionary Army in southern Manchuria in the 1930s, winning major victories over Japanese and Manchukuo forces alongside Chinese resistance fighters at the battles of Yeongneungga (March 1932) and Heungjingseong (late March 1932), the latter routing Japanese troops with the help of some 10,000 Chinese volunteer soldiers. On August 12, 1934, he was lured into a trap by a Chinese agent bribed by a Japanese informant and was shot after refusing to surrender. His wife was Yun Jae-sun and his line continued through his eldest son, Yang Ui-jun.
