In the Red Army, there were many martial artists, such as Xu Shiyou, who studied martial arts in Shaolin, who made great achievements in kung fu and made great achievements for New China, and finally awarded the rank of general of the founding of the country.
As we all know, Xu Shiyou is from the Red Fourth Front, in fact, there is a martial artist in the Four Fronts Army, Wudang Taihe Fist Leader 12 generations of descendants, but also a beautiful little lady, a pair of iron fists that no one can stop, it is said that even Xu Shiyou is difficult to resist.
She was He Ziyou of the Women's Independent Regiment of the Red Army.
He Ziyou was born in 1913 in Cangxi County, Sichuan Province, he has been learning martial arts since childhood, and at the age of 15, he was the twelfth generation of Wudang Taihemen, and was a well-known Wudang woman at that time, known as "He Tie Fist".
In 1933, when the Red Army entered Sichuan, He Ziyou joined the Red Army and became the chief instructor of martial arts and the reconnaissance platoon leader of the Women's Independent Regiment of the Red Fourth Front. Xu Shiyou, who was also in the Four Fronts Army, heard that there was a Wudang descendant in the team, and he was also itchy, a Shaolin layman disciple, and a Wudang descendant also met and hated each other. However, after Xu Shiyou saw that He Ziyou was a woman, he rested his heart, but He Ziyou did not rely on it, and the two fought a fight, which is said to be equal.
We all know that drinking and martial arts are Xu Shiyou's two great skills, and there is not much advantage in martial arts, and the two have compared to drinking, once again allowing the warriors to recognize this Wudang descendant.
Xu Shiyou and He Ziyou you a cup of my cup, drank a lot of wine or not addicted, no party to drink more, the last two people in accordance with the old rules to continue to drink, this old rule is a pound of wine poured into the basin, and then dipped in steamed bread to eat, the last two are still not divided, a kung fu basin will be wiped clean.
He Ziyou not only achieved kung fu, but also made great achievements in battle, once He Ziyou led more than 100 female fighters out to suppress bandits, but there were more than 500 bandits, and she thought about how to go south without bloodshed. In the end, He Ziyou designed and singled out the bandits: "If you win, you will be the Red Army with me, and if you lose, I will let you dispose of it." "A lady has said this, if the bandit leader is not willing to mix in the future?"
In the end, He Ziyou easily defeated the bandit leader and effortlessly recruited a bandit team of more than 500 people, which shocked even the Central Military Commission at that time.
He Ziyou was in his early twenties, and although he was tall and tall, he was very beautiful. There were many love stories in the women's independent regiment, the soldiers ran to the women's independent regiment for three days, but none of them dared to marry He Ziyou, and the tiger generals of the four fronts were "afraid" of her pair of "iron fists".
No one in the Red Fourth Front dared to marry, but the Red Army dared.
In the summer of 1935, after the victory of the Red First and Fourth Fronts, the General Headquarters of the Red Army accompanied the Left Route Army, the Red Fourth Front, and Zhou Zikun, director of the Operations Bureau of the General Headquarters, saw He Ziyou and finally understood what love was at first sight.
Zhou Zikun was the chairman of the Ai General, in his early years as the captain of the ironclad team of Sun Yat-sen's presidential palace, his seniority was very high, he joined the Communist Party of China in 1925, and was promoted to battalion commander of the Ye Ting Independent Regiment with great achievements in the Northern Expedition War, and the Nanchang Uprising led the troops in this battle. Later, Zhou Zikun served as the chief of staff of the Red 3Rd Army, the commander of the army, the chief of staff of the Red Fifth Army, and other important positions, and the Xiangjiang Campaign was almost beheaded by Li De, but the chairman personally saved it.
In 1937, Zhou Zikun and He Ziyou were married in Yan'an, and it was the chairman who personally witnessed her marriage, and the newlyweds' names had a "son", which was also considered fate.
Once Xu Shiyou of the Four Fronts Army met Zhou Zikun and quipped, "Or the generals of your army on the one side are strong and are not afraid of death!" Zhou Zikun was confused and asked Yuan, Xu Shiyou smiled and said: Like you, you dare to marry He Ziyou, who dares to be in the Four Fronts Army!
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in an all-round way, the Party Central Committee proposed that Zhou Zikun be appointed chief of staff of the New Fourth Army, but Unexpectedly, Ye Ting had already contacted Zhang Yunyi as chief of staff, and the Central Military Commission had no choice but to make Zhou Zikun deputy chief of staff. Zhou Zikun accepted it calmly and said to the chairman: "As long as you go to fight the devil, resolutely obey the dispatch." “
In May 1938, He Ziyou also came to southern Anhui and became a platoon leader in the women's team of the New Fourth Army Teaching Corps, and the following year, he gave birth to his daughter Zhou Min.
In 1941, the Anhui Southern Incident that shocked China and foreign countries broke out, Zhou Zikun and deputy commander Xiang Ying and others broke out, but they were shot and killed by the traitor Liu Houzong in the middle of the road. Commander-in-Chief Zhu once said: Zhou Zikun is principled, strong and soft, courageous and strategic, and is a rare general.
He Ziyou was devastated by the loss of his beloved husband, but he was not beaten, and not long after giving birth to his widow, Zhou Lin, a month later, he handed over his two children to the army nursery and continued to fight in the New Fourth Army.
He Ziyou was only 28 years old when he lost his husband, but he never remarried in his life, and then made great achievements in the southern expedition of the army to the north, until he retired in 1969 and was a deputy military officer.
He Ziyou has always insisted on learning martial arts, his health is very good, he lived for 103 years, he died on February 22, 2016, at the memorial service, the Eastern Theater of the People's Liberation Army sent a link: Rong Ma did not solve the saddle of a life is a female soldier, the journey of thousands of miles is also a hero.
