However, in the War of Liberation, there was an anti-Japanese hero who was famous all over the world, but he acted perversely and was willing to be a bandit. She committed misdeeds in Shifang, Sichuan, brutally killing the local people, and finally embarked on the road of no return, ending up in disgrace. She is the two-gun "old lady" Zhao Hongwenguo, whom Chiang Kai-shek called the "mother of guerrillas," and who was famous throughout the country and the world in the War of Resistance Against Japan. She went from being a hated anti-Japanese hero to a bandit, with a sad ending. Explore the reasons why Zhao Hongwenguo transformed from an anti-Japanese hero to a bandit, and the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wise. The author believes that the feudal loyalist ideology is the main reason for her transformation into a bandit, coupled with being touted by the Kuomintang government, she is a little fluttery in her thinking, and she believes too much in her own ability, making her discredited. Zhao Hongwenguo was reduced from an anti-Japanese hero to a bandit, leaving many enlightenment and thinking for future generations. Life is like a chess game, how to choose our own path, we must take history as a mirror, one to take history as a mirror.
"Two-gun old lady" Zhao Hongwenguo
The whole family went to war and actively resisted japan
Zhao Hongwenguo, born in 1881, Manchu, Xiuyan people, Liaoning. His real name was Hong Wenguo, and his surname was changed to Zhao Hongwenguo. She lived through the Russo-Japanese War and hated the atrocities of the invaders who brutally killed Chinese. Faced with the current situation of the country's poverty and weakness, she was determined to educate and save the country.
In 1929, she founded Zhao Jiapu Primary School in her hometown. Many young people with lofty ideals came to teach at the school, and nearby children and teenagers enrolled in school, and for a while the school gathered many patriotic young people.
Nine. After the 18 Incident, her third son Zhao Dong returned from Beiping to his hometown to organize the anti-Japanese resistance. Zhao Hongwenguo's family was very supportive of their son's patriotic behavior, scattered the family wealth, and threw themselves into the anti-Japanese national salvation activities.
Later, under the leadership of Miao Kexiu, Zhao Tong, Bai Junshi, Liu Zhuangfei and others, local aspiring students and patriotic youth were recruited and a "young iron-blooded army" of more than 500 people was formed. Although Zhao Hongwenguo was over fifty years old, he was still full of pride and led his family to actively assist the "Young Iron-Blooded Army" in resisting Japan.
Northeast Volunteer Army
In the face of the growing "Young Iron Blood Army", the Japanese frantically suppressed it, burning down 16 houses of Zhao Hongwenguo's family and capturing Zhao Hongwenguo and 300 villagers.
Zhao Hongwenguo preferred to die in the enemy's prison and never surrendered to the Japanese. After being rescued by Zhao Dong in many ways, she finally escaped from danger and entered Guannei to reach Beiping, where she continued to engage in anti-Japanese and national salvation activities.
Although Zhao Hongwenguo withdrew into Guannei, she and several sons continued to support and lead the "Young Iron Blood army". She raised materials from many sources and sent them to the "Young Predator Army" through various channels.
Under the leadership of Zhao Tong and others, the "Young Iron Blooded Army" grew to more than 11,000 people, participated in more than 300 battles, annihilated more than 4,000 enemy soldiers, and captured more than 2,000 enemy people. It was a heavy blow to Japan and boosted the anti-Japanese morale of the people in the northeast.
Later, the Japanese army mobilized heavy troops and attacked the "Young Iron Blood army" with all its strength, and the "Young Iron Blood Army" suffered heavy losses, and the rest retreated into Guannei.
In 1937, the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army advanced into the Jin-Cha-Ji region to resist The Japanese, and incorporated the Zhao Dong Anti-Japanese Forces as the "Independent First Detachment of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region", with Zhao Dong as the commander and Zhao Hongwenguo as the deputy commander.
In the constant war against the Japanese and the pseudo, Zhao Hongwen took the lead and did not let his eyebrows be raised. Gradually practiced into a two-handed gun, a hundred steps through the Yang skills.
In 1938, she personally led a team to ambush the Japanese puppet troops, firing two guns and killing a lieutenant. The ambush killed a total of 33 enemy people and captured 22 people, shocking North China, and the people called her "old lady" with two guns.
In 1938, in order to supply troops and accept commendations from the Republic of China government, Zhao Hongwenguo came to Hankou. Newspapers in the Kuomintang District rushed to report on her anti-Japanese deeds, and the double-gun "old woman" became famous all over the world.
Chiang Kai-shek called her the "mother of guerrillas," Feng Yuxiang called her "The Heroine of the Women," and Soong Mei-ling called her the "Contemporary Mother-in-Law."
Parting ways and degenerating into bandits
In the face of great honors, Zhao Hongwenguo's thinking underwent great changes, and he had doubts about the anti-Japanese policy propagated by the Communist Party of China. This directly led her son Zhao Tong to lead the troops out of the Eighth Route Army and was appointed by the Kuomintang as the "Commander of the National Anti-Japanese Army in North China".
After the civil war began, Zhao Hongwenguo successively served as the commander-in-chief of the "Jin-Cha-Ji Suppression of the Communists" and the "Second Road Appeasement Headquarters of the Jire-Liao Border Region", completely falling into the accomplice of the Kuomintang reactionaries. In the autumn of 1949, she was defeated and retreated to Shifang, Sichuan province, with the remnants of the Kuomintang 16th Corps.
Before Chiang Kai-shek was defeated and retreated to Taiwan, he personally appointed Zhao Hongwenguo as "commander of the Second Road Appeasement Of the Anti-Communist Guerrilla Army in southwest China." Zhao Hongwenguo, together with his two sons and son-in-law, gathered remnants and bandits of the Kuomintang and took the Red and White Field in Sanhe Township, Shifang County as the center, accepted Kuomintang airdrops of materials, and established an anti-communist base.
Remnants of the Kuomintang and bandits
She successively co-opted the bandit leaders Yi Jingxiu, Ma Liusan, Shi Ze, etc., and gathered thousands of remnants of bandits, which was a huge momentum for a while.
In order to intimidate and intimidate the local people, make them obey their orders. Zhao Hongwenguo went on a killing spree, killing more than 200 people in succession, and the means were extremely cruel.
They used arson and looting, beheading to show the public, rape women, etc., and did not do evil. Zhao Hongwenguo completely fell from an anti-Japanese hero to a fierce, cruel, and unscrupulous bandit leader.
In order to eliminate bandits, crack down on the arrogance of bandits, and consolidate people's power. The Eighteenth Corps of the People's Liberation Army dispatched three infantry regiments specifically to eliminate the bandits.
After the People's Liberation Army's dragnet encirclement and suppression, Zhao Hongwenguo's bandits were finally eliminated in the early 1950s, and only she and a few cronies escaped.
The People's Liberation Army suppressed bandits
finale
Zhao Hongwenguo was wounded in the head during this encirclement and suppression, and his two sons escaped from the encirclement of the People's Liberation Army on their backs. After several turns, they quietly came to Gaoqiao Town and hid in the home of farmer Yu Fuhua to recuperate.
On the afternoon of the previous day, He Jianji, commander of the 1st Company of the 364th Regiment of the People's Liberation Army, led the troops to the area around Gaoqiao Town to search for and arrest the remnants of the bandits.
They searched for a farmhouse by the river, and after asking the head of the household, Yu Fuhua, he looked nervous and answered the question with a flickering word, which made people suspicious.
He Company Commander saw the situation and asked the soldiers to search carefully and not let go of any suspicious places. When He Company Commander led the soldiers to search a deserted wooden building in the backyard, an old lady with a head injury lay on the bed.
Commander He Company came forward for questioning, and the old lady pretended to be deaf and dumb, and closed her eyes and did not answer. He Lianchang was suspicious, and took out Zhao Hongwenguo's photo to compare with this old lady, he was overjoyed, and ordered someone to carry her back to Shifang County on a stretcher.
For the sake of misdeeds, the female bandits who were full of evil and the head of the "old woman" finally fell into the hands of the people.
After his arrest, Zhao Hongwenguo remained stubborn, resisted the people's government, and had no remorse for his crimes. Later, he was tried by the Military Justice Department of the Western Sichuan Military Region and sentenced Zhao Hongwenguo to death.
On July 6, 1950, the two-gun "old lady" Zhao Hongwenguo was escorted to Dongguan, Shifang County, where he was executed at the age of 70 amid thousands of public condemnations and onlookers.
