"The old woman with two guns" Zhao Hongwen Guo: facing the Japanese invaders would rather die than submit, why was she shot after liberation?

"Why don't you take the Wu Hook with you, and collect the 50 states of the Guanshan Mountains" and "A husband with 50 years of service has not yet been established, and he is independent with his sword, taking care of the Eight Wastelands." The list of poems describing men fighting in the battlefield and defending the country is endless, and it is a long-standing idea in Chinese tradition that men are the masters of their own house and women are the masters of their own.

There are numerous male heroes in Chinese history. We admire Jing Ke, who crossed the river on horseback to become a warrior; we try to depict Sun Wu's ingenious art of war; we worship Lian Po, the great general who asked for forgiveness for his sins with a bramble; and we have heard of the legend of Yue Fei, who attacked the Yellow Dragon House. ...

The heroic figures of these people are always in our textbooks, their stories have been sung by future generations, so we will be so impressed, and the women heroes of Chinese history compared to not so well known, but there are still a lot of women heroes in the long history.

We are not talking about Mulan, who took her father's place in the army, or Marshal Mu Guiying, who broke through the Tianmen Square, or Fan Lihua, who is a powerful woman who can avenge treachery, but we are talking about Zhao Hongwenguo, a "double-gun old woman" whose reputation resounded in the war, who had killed countless people, but why was she shot directly by the People's Liberation Army (PLA) after the liberation of the country? What are the twists and turns?

The old woman organized the anti-Japanese army

Zhao Hongwenguo, a Manchu woman born in 1881 in Hongqigou, Whistling River Township, Xiuyan County, Liaoning Province, was originally named Hongwenguo, but later changed her surname to Zhao.

In 1931, the "September 18" Incident occurred, when the fifty-year-old Zhao Hongwenguo did not choose to become a common old woman fleeing around, but embarked on the road of resistance, an old man more than half a hundred years old, in the anti-Japanese this matter is not lost to the young.

After the September 18th Incident, Zhao Hongwenguo's son Zhao Dong, also a famous war hero, returned home from Peking to start organizing the anti-Japanese volunteer army, which was not only unopposed by Zhao Hongwenguo, but also used all the money she got from buying her family's property to give to her son as the funds for the anti-war organization.

And she also took the lead in inspiring her entire family to serve in the volunteer army, and took the initiative to use her own home as a command post and transportation station for the army, and followed her son on the path of anti-Japanese armament.

In 1933, with the help of Zhao Hongwengguo and Zhao Dong, the anti-Japanese "Rangers" were formally established, and later, due to changes in the anti-Japanese situation, the anti-Japanese "Rangers" were reorganized and re-established.

But not only that, Zhao Hongwen Guo was also the main organizer of important military meetings, and the usual Japanese and pseudo-military intelligence had to rely on her to collect. And on the battlefield, Zhao Hongwenguo is the most important logistical supplies for the front-line personnel.

She often led the transportation of heavy guns and ammunition, and sent these weapons to the battlefield, and over time, her fame gradually spread. Because she often carried two guns during the war, she was called the "Old Lady with Two Guns" by later generations.

She loved her country and was determined not to be a slave.

Zhao Hongwenguo not only followed her son to the battlefield, and she has always been committed to the education of her descendants, she did not want her descendants to accept the Japanese invasion of slavery education, so she first of all was the main restoration of the war was forced to disband the Zhaojiaobaozi Primary School, and in the support of his son, Zhao Dong, she has always insisted that the Zhaojiaobaozi Primary School must insist on the use of the teaching materials of the national language, and all people must be unanimous in boycotting the Japanese slavery education. Japanese slavery education.

Because Zhao Hongwen country is even more horrific than the beacon battlefield of swords, guns and artillery is the silent but increasingly eroding cultural recognition, Chinese culture must be the root of the Chinese people, so she has always taught those children to love the motherland, and resolutely not to be a slave of the country.

It is under the influence of this spirit of Zhao Hongwen Guo, Zhao Jiabao subprimary school teachers and students later became active participants in the war of resistance against Japan. Even in the "Junior Iron Blood Army", the proportion of elementary school students alone was two-tenths, so this army was also known as the local student army.

They always hoped to recover the Northeast by all means and revitalize China. It was not easy to have this kind of alertness about culture, because the war was tense at that time, but Zhao Hongwen Guo always insisted that culture must be independent.

People are capable of fighting for something at all costs, just as many Chinese were willing to stand up for their country's sovereignty and fight the Japanese.

This is all because they have faith in their hearts, this faith is not religion, but the country, this is in a strong sense of identification with their own country and in the strong patriotic spirit of the drive to act, so once the implementation of the Japanese slavery education, in time, the Chinese people will really be reduced to the dead slaves.

Loyalty and rescue of the townspeople

In August 1934, because of the despicable Japanese invaders once again suddenly attacked the Zhao family fortress, at that time, not only Zhao Hongwengguo's family were captured in the prison, the Japanese army is the Zhao family and the 300 mouths of the townspeople in one go into the prison.

And Zhao Hongwenguo as the person in charge there must have been the Japanese invaders of coercion, but Zhao Hongwenguo never existed in any fluke tiger's mouth to get away from the idea of more not loose lips to the Japanese army all the information, so in the face of such a "hard core", the Japanese invaders in two months after the situation is still fruitless ultimately decided to the superiors to ask for instructions! The first time I've ever seen a man die, I've seen him die," he said.

But just before the execution, Zhao Hongwenguo was released on parole by the Iron Blood Army, and it was this move that Zhao Hongwenguo seized the opportunity to rescue all the townspeople after his release from prison, and then led his family to escape to Beiping.

But this is not a simple absconding, in the process of fleeing Zhao Hongwenguo still attached to the Iron Blood Army, so on the way she has been raising arms to support the Junior Iron Blood Army. This more than fifty years old, Zhao Hongwenguo can be said to be truly wise and courageous.

Later the Iron Blood Army from Liaonan hair, gradually growing, the team is also getting bigger and bigger, to participate in which the personnel also reached tens of thousands of people, this team in the history of the record has also participated in hundreds of battles, killing thousands of the enemy, and can be proud to say that it is a national heroes of the army, is a brave troops.

Pulled in by Chiang, on a crooked path

But who would be curious, such a woman heroine, why the final end is actually shot, is really puzzling. This is because, at a later stage, Zhao Hongwen Guo chose a wrong path.

In 1940, because of the war, she was received by Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek photographed, Chiang Kai-shek is personally inscribed for her "mother of guerrillas", and at that time, Dong Biwu was also personally present to congratulate. Later, Chiang Kai-shek appointed Zhao Hongweng Guo as the Lieutenant General of the "Jiliao Border Region Second Road Pacification General Command".

So under Chiang Kai-shek's inducement, after the end of the war, Zhao Hongwenguo returned to his hometown and joined the Kuomintang, but in the irreversible momentum of the ****producers' liberation army, at the end of the Liao-Shen Battle, Zhao Hongwenguo was hard to be beaten to the point that he had to flee to Chongqing.

But then Chiang Kai-shek again a paper will send Zhao Hongwenguo to Western Sichuan, so Zhao Hongwenguo even has been obsessed even gathered a group of Western Sichuan bandits, attempted to attack the county, but this action is not fully carried out on the People's Liberation Army once again was struck.

And repeated setbacks still can't wake up Zhao Hongwenguo, she still holds a double gun and led the team to besiege the county, again on the way, she also publicly shot the team she suspected of being a member of the **** party. But the victory of the People's Liberation Army has been unstoppable, is bound to be the victor of history, so eventually Zhao Hongwenguo was arrested in the escape, on July 16, 1950, was executed by firing squad.

Summary:

Nobody expected Zhao Hongwenguo in the end is such an end, just as no one expected that the hero who once strangled the Japanese invaders one day turned her guns on her compatriots, organizing the People's Liberation Army to liberate the whole country, so it can be said to be the last step in the wrong step, chose the wrong camp, it is really regrettable.

But even so, Zhao Hongwen Guo life of those resistance to the war of justice still can not be erased she is a national hero, as gold is not enough, people are not perfect.
