During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, several anti-Japanese heroines nicknamed "Old Lady with Two Guns" emerged in our country, who led the troops to strike hard at the Japanese aggressors, boosted the morale of chinese soldiers, and made important contributions to the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan. However, there was an "old woman with two guns" who was executed after the founding of the country.
So, who is she? What's going on here?
Her name was Zhao Hongwenguo, her original name was Hong Wenguo, she was a Manchu, and when she reached the age of talking about marriage, she married a local family with the surname of Zhao, and she also followed her husband's surname, which was called Zhao Hongwenguo. At first, her life was relatively peaceful, and she also gave birth to a son named Zhao Dong. Influenced by revolutionary ideas and humiliated by the Japanese invaders, Zhao Dong decided to form a unit to fight against the Japanese.
Therefore, Zhao Dong formed an anti-Japanese team called the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army. His mother, Zhao Hongwenguo, often gave him advice, and although she was more than 60 years old, she was still meticulous in her work, and because she was very old, it was easier to escape the enemy's search, and the intelligence work in the army was often done by her. Because she also read some books and knew some words when she was a child, she was also responsible for the propaganda work of the army and made important contributions to the strengthening of this revolutionary force.
With their active propaganda, coupled with the increasing misdeeds of the Japanese on Chinese territory, many local people joined their ranks. In order to resist Japan, Zhao Hongwenguo also sold some valuable things in his home to support the revolution, and many people knew their deeds. Chiang Kai-shek also specially awarded Zhao Hongwen the rank of Lieutenant General. But this "old lady with two guns" did not know that this was just a trap set by Chiang Kai-shek in order to allow her to concentrate on serving the Kuomintang, and the rank of lieutenant general was only an empty title and did not have any rights, but she was blinded by this interest.
Zhao Hongwenguo thought that Chiang Kai-shek would reuse her, and after the victory of the War of Resistance, he began to help Chiang Kai-shek to fight against the People's Liberation Army. At that time, in order to be able to smoothly liberate the southwest, our army also sent people to persuade her many times, but she did not change anything, but wholeheartedly worked for the Kuomintang, and she also brutally killed hundreds of soldiers of our army. For the liberation of the southwest, our army could only lead the troops to annihilate them all, and Zhao Hongwenguo was also arrested by our army.
Although Zhao Hongwenguo resisted the Japanese aggressors in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he contributed a great deal of strength to the War of Resistance. However, she sided with the Kuomintang after the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and joined them in confronting the people and the People's Liberation Army, which could not be denied, and in the end Zhao Hongwenguo was sentenced to death.
