In the autumn of 1941, the Japanese army launched an unprecedented large-scale "sweep" of the Jin-Cha-Ji anti-Japanese base area and implemented a thorough "three-light" policy, which was unprecedentedly cruel and barbaric. Under the leadership of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, the "Bethune" Health School and the "Bethune International Peace Hospital" stationed at the foot of the Qingshan Ruins by the Tang River in Gegong Village, Tang County, Hebei Province, were thrown into a heroic and tenacious struggle against "sweeping" under the leadership of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region of the Eighth Route Army.
In order to ensure the safety of the school and the hospital, the superiors ordered the transfer to Qingxu Mountain, and in order to maneuver and disperse and hide, the white-clad angels were divided into two parts.
Don't look at this team are all young girls, its predecessor Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region Health School, later renamed "Bethune School", the team has always insisted on "teaching, fighting, while treating", once participated in the Hundred Regiments War, anti-"sweeping" and other battles hundreds of times, for the anti-Japanese battlefield to send nearly 1500 medical talents, emerged a large number of anti-war heroes.
In the process of transfer, the most difficult nature is these white-clad angels, who carry backpacks containing teaching handouts and food, and crawl hard with the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who are responsible for the cover, especially some frail female students from the city, who sweat every step they take. They were supported by everyone, some pulling on the ropes and slowly descending the mountain. A female student accidentally slipped and fell, fortunately grabbed the thorn grass, almost fell off the cliff, was pulled up by her former comrades, and continued to follow the troops.
After the transfer of the team began, all the personnel moved in unison and moved to the steep mountain, but they were continuously attacked by the enemy, at this time, the team entered the area of The Ladder Ditch Daoist Temple, and was surrounded by the enemy. The Taoist Temple is a mountain pass with only imports and no exits, and because the enemy has sealed the mountain pass, it has caused great difficulties in breaking through, and the situation is very urgent.
Ladder ditch, is a canyon more than ten kilometers long in the deep mountains, both sides of this place are cliff slopes, really towering and steep, the black hole hole below can not see the bottom, some places the ditch is full of water, waist deep, potholes under the feet, some places are gravel, no road, very difficult to walk, difficult, even in the past few decades today, here is still full of trees and grass, strange rocks, basically no way to go.
At this time, the fog in the ladder ditch was thick and eerie and silent. All the girls held their breath and marched carefully, fearing an accident in the ditch of the ladder. Unfortunately, just halfway into the ditch, everyone looked up the mountain, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, only to see that on the hill north of the ditch above, a row of Japanese machine guns was aimed at the valley of this large depression!
Faced with the muzzles and bayonets of the enemy, they were calm and determined, cursing the enemy. "You bandits, beasts! By forcibly occupying our territory and killing our compatriots, I would like to kill you all to see how long you can still be rampant! "These white-clad angels with a strong revolutionary will are not afraid in the slightest.
At this moment, the enemy's machine guns roared, and bullets swept at them like raindrops. Political Commissar Yu, Captain Ding, Dean Wang, and others shouted while raising their guns to fight back: "Quick! fast! Protect the wounded! Evacuate to the Broken Lake Mouth Canyon! "Some female students were so frightened by this sudden situation that they ran towards the enemy's guns and fell down one by one... At the top of the hill, the enemy roared wildly, shouting "Catch the female eighth road" and "catch the live", and pounced on the mountain with a bayonet.
These white-clad angels did not eat for a day because they climbed the mountain to avoid the frontal enemy that morning, and some of them passed out, and when they blocked the enemy in the afternoon, due to overwork, when they woke up, a group of Japanese troops had surrounded them. She knew that the time had come for her to dedicate herself to the party and the people, and she was more composed and composed, not to let the party documents fall into the hands of the enemy, and she tore up the documents she carried with her several times; she did not move in the face of the Japanese army with bayonets in front of her.
The teachers and students of these white-clad angel schools were not afraid of danger, rose up to kill the enemy, fought fiercely day and night, and ran out of food. In the face of the enemy's butcher's knife, the teachers and students of the school were unyielding, shouting "Resist to the end, never surrender!" "Fight to the death with the Japanese. Without a weapon, use your teeth to bite, grab with your hands, and kick with your feet. The female cadets covered the seriously wounded behind them, surrounded the human wall, and rushed towards the enemy's bayonet...
The beastly, brutal and shameless Japanese Kou trampled on unarmed female students, smashed pots and bowls and women's hair combs and hairpins, scattered in a mess; the blood-stained teaching handouts on the page were chaotic in the wind... In the large depression near the Taoist Temple at the mouth of the ladder ditch, the blood stained the sandy land, and the battlefield had just been fought, and the remains of the martyrs were all over the place, and the discarded backpacks revealed the cotton wool that had been broken by bayonets. According to the people of Dapingdi Village, where the bodies of the martyrs of the white school students were buried, the blood at that time flowed into a river, flowing down in the stone crevices at the mouth of the broken lake...
In this battle, Xiao Min, Chen Jinquan, Du Lei, Fu Wenyuan, Feng Xu and other teachers, students, wounded and sick people died heroically, most of whom were female comrades, the oldest was 28 years old, and the youngest was only 15 years old. Zuo Ke, the political instructor of the student team, was shot with more than 20 knives in his body, preferring to die unyieldingly, and his mother was Yin Weijun, one of the three masters of the female world with the same name as Qiu Jin. General Yang Chengwu, then commander of the first sub-district of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, wrote in his memoirs: "After listening to the report of the heavy losses suffered by the students of the 'White School,' I was extremely distressed! ”。
More than 150 flower-like girls, these white-clad angels were bathed in blood, heroically dedicated, and buried in the mountains. Zuo Ke, the political instructor of the student team, whose original name was Qiu Zhenxian, was born into a revolutionary family in Yahuang Village, Yahuang Township, Shengxian County, Zhejiang. At the age of 16, his mother, Yin Weijun, fought alongside her sister Yin Ruizhi and served as the captain of the women's death squad in the campaign to restore Shanghai and Hangzhou. She held the bomb in her arms and Led the death squad with Zhang Boqi and others to quickly capture the Yamen of Fuzhou, Zhejiang. Zuo Ke was born only 7 months after his mother died, and his brothers and sisters grew up under the care and care of close friends.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, this 18-year-old girl, dressed in a blue cloth robe and alone, broke through the blockade and was introduced by the office of the Eighth Route Army in Shaanxi to Yan'an, the holy land of revolution. He entered The Northern Shaanxi Public School and changed his name to Zuo Ke. During her studies, she improved rapidly, and in just a few months, her face was tanned, and she studied, trained, sang, danced, and was in a very happy mood. Yan'an, the melting pot of revolution, has brought about tremendous changes in the soul and appearance of groups of young people. Later, he went to the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University to study, was incorporated into the girls' team, and later served as a detachment leader at the Central Military Commission Health School in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, where he grew up in the flames of war.
In the face of the brutal Japanese Kou who persuaded her to surrender, Zuo Ke rebuked the enemy: "If you want to kill, you will kill, even if the revolution is not afraid of losing your head, see how long you are rampant." The Japanese army laughed and became angry, frantically stabbing Zuo Ke with a bayonet, a female Communist Party member who was weak and strong in revolutionary will, and heroically sacrificed herself under the butcher's knife of the Japanese army at the age of 22. She was heroic and tenacious, and regarded death as a homecoming, showing the indomitable revolutionary spirit and fearless heroism of the Chinese nation.
The martyrs should smile and comfort when they look back, and Qingqi has its own descendants. Today, in front of the tomb of the martyr Zuo Ke, a group of descendants have come here to pay respects and commemorate the white-clad angel who went to the national independence and shed blood and sacrificed, so that their spiritual moments will bloom brilliantly.
