introduction
In ancient times, there was a story of Mulan serving in the army for her father, and in modern China, there is also a hero who dressed as a man to join the army, and she has not been found in the army for 5 years, she is Guo Junqing. After nine deaths in battle, he was later awarded the title of "Special Combat Hero" by our army.
She became the only female "special combat hero" in the history of our army.
He had a miserable childhood and was determined to join the army to avenge his father
In 1930, Guo Junqing was born in a peasant family in his hometown of Thirty in Liaoning Province, and his childhood was very difficult. In 1937, due to the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan and the fall of northeast China, she was forced to flee to Inner Mongolia with her father. When she was 14 years old, her father was forced to die by the landlord, and in order to support her mother and brother, she cut her hair and pretended to be a boy to go out as a child laborer.
Later, after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Guo Junqing saw that the Soviet Red Army that defeated Japan had female soldiers. At the same time, she heard about the revolutionary ideals of the Communist Party in people's mouths, and she had the idea of joining the army to avenge her father. At that time, she changed her name to "Guo Fu" and falsely declared her age for two years, hoping to join the army. But the conscripts came over and saw her thin figure and knew that she must have falsely reported her age and refused to be requisitioned.
Guo Junqing, who did not accept defeat, and after the conscription was over, he set off with the troops, this walk is more than 200 kilometers, and she has been pestering the leaders of the People's Liberation Army on the road, saying that she is thin because she is hungry like this
。 With her efforts, she finally got permission from the People's Liberation Army and became a signal soldier in the army.
At that time, the young Guo Junqing was very brave, and often rode alone through the enemy's blockade line to escort intelligence and pass on official documents. She understands the importance of kumon and reminds herself:
If you are unfortunate enough to be shot and injured, you must eat the escort information into your stomach to prevent the information from falling into the hands of the enemy.
In the winter of 1946, Guo Junqing received another task, which was to send an order to a unit 30 kilometers away within 4 hours. At that time, the weather was cold, it was still snowing, and there were no lights on the road, guo Junqing did not fear the bad weather after receiving the order, got on his horse and rushed to the destination, and delivered the order within the specified time.
As a result, on the way back, the horses died of exhaustion due to weather reasons, and Guo Junqing had to walk back to the camp against the cold wind. After the leader learned of the situation, he gave her a credit.
Later, during a march, the troops needed to cross a river with a waist-deep water, and In order not to leave the wounded, Guo Junqing carried 4 sick numbers across the river in turn despite the danger, but he fell into gynecology because he stayed in the cold river for too long.
After 5 years in the military, he was exposed due to illness
In 1947, Guo Junqing finally joined the Communist Party of China as she wished, and she wrote in her application to join the party:
"To serve the people is to serve to the end." In order to accomplish the Party's tasks, we must not be afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice. ”
In 1948, Guo Junqing changed from a signal soldier to a squad leader of the 3rd Company and 4th Squad of the 48th Army of the Northeast Field Army, and as a veteran, she began to lead more than a dozen recruits to the battlefield. At that time, the Kuomintang army was attacking the Northeast Field Army in the Jireliao region, and in the Battle of Pingquan, Guo Junqing's 4th squad served as a surprise attack and was responsible for attacking the east of the city. Not long after the battle began, the deputy squad leader next to her was shot and killed, and she shouted
"Avenge the deputy squad leader"
, leading the soldiers to rush to the enemy position.
After blocking the enemy's attack 4 times, Guo Junqing collapsed on the ground due to injury and fatigue. Suddenly, the two enemies in front rushed towards Guo Junqing, who was close to being unconscious, and Guo Junqing, who was close to being unconscious, did not know where the strength came from, stood up again, picked up the bayonet of one of the enemy, and stabbed forward to kill an enemy soldier, and the other one immediately raised his hand and surrendered when he saw it. After the enemy launched several unsuccessful counter-charges, this position was completely abandoned.
After the war, Guo Junqing was recorded once again, and the 4 classes she led also won the title of "Combat Model Class".
By the time of the Liaoshen Campaign, Guo Junqing had been promoted to deputy instructor of a machine gun company. At that time, Guo Junqing's unit received orders to go to Dalazi Mountain to block the enemy, where Guo Junqing was not afraid to face an enemy several times larger than himself, repelled the enemy's attack many times, and resisted the bombardment of enemy aircraft and artillery. In the later stages of the fight, Guo Junqing's company was almost finished with bullets, and she led the soldiers to start a white-knife battle, after 3 days of fierce fighting, Guo Junqing completed the task of blocking the attack, and won the opportunity for the main force to annihilate the enemy in Jinzhou.
During the period of fighting, eating and living with the warriors, Guo Junqing gradually learned to swim, ride and smoke, and his words and deeds were exactly the same as those of a man. At the same time, in order not to reveal her identity, she never took off her clothes while sleeping; the convenience on the march was also quietly solved by feeding the horses; the bath was even more waiting for others to wash it, and she was the last to wash it quietly. Slowly, the comrades-in-arms also became suspicious and said:
"You found that no, Xiao Guo is a little strange and never disarms with us." Usually playing with him is also a bit twisted. ”
Some warriors were curious and tried to test her. Once, a comrade-in-arms took advantage of her inattention to hold her from behind, and as a result, Guo Junqing directly broke free and drew his sword at her, frightening the comrades-in-arms to dare not mess with her again. Later, due to the poor combat conditions, when Guo Junqing hit Guangdong, her gynecological disease became more and more serious, which directly affected her life.
Helplessly, she had to enter the hospital for examination and treatment, the doctor found her daughter's body as soon as she examined it, and quickly reported the situation to the troops, and the chief heard about it and put down the work in his hand and rushed to the hospital to verify with Guo Junqing. At this time, she could no longer hide it, so she reported her true gender to the chief and the organization. After the examination, Guo Junqing's illness was already very serious and required surgery to remove the uterus, and Guo Junqing completely lost her reproductive function since then. And this year she was only 19 years old.

On the other hand, Guo Junqing's female dress as a man to join the army exploded in the army, and everyone expressed their respect for her experience, even the military commander He Jinnian said:
"Guo Junqing is the hero of the towel, the current Mulan, and the pride of our 48th Army!"
After Guo Junqing recovered from her illness, she was invited to the National Congress of Combat Heroes, was personally received by Mao Zedong and Zhu Laozong, and was awarded the honorary title of "National Special Female Combat Hero".
Fruitless love
After the end of the National Congress of Combat Heroes, Guo Junqing also participated in the youth delegation to visit the Soviet Union with Zhao Xingyuan, the deputy head of the 4 fields, when Zhao Xingyuan was 5 years older than Guo Junqing, and they knew each other when they fought side by side, and Zhao Xingyuan often took care of Guo Junqing as the eldest brother. After learning guo Junqing's true identity, he also said:
"If you don't change women's clothes, you can't see that you're a woman."
But he didn't know that Guo Junqing had already developed feelings for him.
This visit to Su gave them a lot of opportunities to be alone, and one night, Guo Junqing, who had a straightforward personality, took advantage of this opportunity to find Zhao Xingyuan and wanted to explore Zhao Xingyuan's thoughts, so he asked:
"People say we're getting married, have you heard that?"
Zhao Xingyuan smiled and said:
"Both of us are too prominent to fit."
In fact, at that time, many people thought that Guo Junqing was a good comrade-in-arms, and there was often a sentence in the army:
Find a good wife, not Guo Junqing, if you want a good comrade-in-arms, look for Guo Junqing.
Guo Junqing was refused, and he wanted to fight for it, and said to Zhao Xingyuan:
"Let's change our watches and leave a souvenir",
After saying that, he took Zhao Xingyuan's watch, and Zhao Xingyuan hesitated for a moment, knowing what she meant, afraid of delaying Guo Junqing, so he politely refused
"I'm going to the Korean battlefield soon, I'm the commander who needs to know the time, I need to use the watch, you can give it back to me." ”
At Zhao Xingyuan's insistence, Guo Junqing angrily threw the watch to Zhao Xingyuan and left.
Zhao Xingyuan
Not long after, Guo Junqing found a hospital, asked the doctor to turn her into a man, and successfully performed the operation. After that, Guo Junqing changed his name to "Li Min" and re-entered the society as a man. The organization guaranteed him to Renmin University for further study, where he had a relationship with a female classmate, which ended in failure.
In fact, Guo Junqing is not unloved, and her former old platoon leader once confessed to her:
"It doesn't matter if you can't have children. I love you, no child can go and adopt one",
But Guo Junqing thought about it for a long time, and finally gave up this marriage, and after that, she was unmarried in her life and adopted 2 daughters.
In 1956, Guo Junqing transferred to a local work, because she was too famous at that time, in order not to attract attention, she changed her name to "Guo Fu" and began a low-key life. But so low-key she still did not escape the turmoil, she was framed as a "fake Mulan", beaten and insulted by others, and the organization quickly transferred her to Shandong after learning about it.
In 1981, after retirement, Guo Junqing submitted a report to the relevant departments, hoping to change her name back to "Guo Junqing" and restore the gender of women, a request that was agreed by her superiors. After that, Guo Junqing made her legendary life public.
Two years after her experience was published, she died in September 1983 at the age of 52.
