We may have all heard the verses, and behind this poem is a story of indifferent fame and fortune.
Throughout the ages, many people have made sacrifices and contributions, and they have silently retreated into the background, covering up their former merits and being an ordinary person.
At the beginning of 1995, there was also an ordinary person in a cadre recuperation center in Shenyang, Liaoning Province. Many reporters came here to interview an old lady who was over ninety years old.
Why would journalists get together to interview an old lady? It turned out that this old lady had been an underground party and had made great contributions to the war, but it was unknown what she would do, which was of course a good topic for journalists.
The courtyard was originally very quiet, but now that there are so many reporters, some of the elderly people who are resting here are very uncomfortable. The old lady the reporters were looking for had a strange temper, she didn't talk much to the other old people here, and she didn't like the reporters to interview her.
In the end, after the sincere persuasion of a young reporter, she agreed to accept the interview, and interviewed alone, without the need for so many people.
Under the reporter's questioning, the old man slowly told his story.

The old man was praised as follows:
She is a hero of our Communist Party and a "great arms thief" of our Party!
And this old man, that is
Gao Chongde
。
Gao Chongde, born in 1904, her father died of illness at an early age, she has suffered a lot since she was a child, and her childhood life is not easy. Such a life makes her personality very stubborn, has a spirit of not accepting defeat and not being afraid of hardship, and looks forward to such a heroic and righteous behavior in the history books.
In her twenties, she met a name
Lu Zhengfu
Commander of the Northeast Army. In his body, Gao Chongde saw what he liked, which was exactly the heroic style of serving the country and the people.
Soon after, they got married. Gao Chongde likes guns, and in her husband's training ground, she also likes to practice. What people did not expect was that her marksmanship became more and more sophisticated.
After the September 18 Incident, the Northeast Army pursued it
Chiang Kai-shek
Non-resistance policy. Lü Zhengcao, on the other hand, did not want to do so, and he took his troops to Rehe to fight the Japanese army. The intention of the Japanese was obvious, that is, to occupy the northeast and even the whole of China, and under the call of the anti-Japanese salvation, Gao Chongde deeply realized that he had to do something.
At first, like her students, she just put up anti-Japanese slogans in the city, scattered some leaflets, and she also gave speeches everywhere, calling on everyone to take action and recognize the ambitions of the Japanese to invade China.
During the period of propagating the anti-Japanese campaign, she met a Communist Party member surnamed Wang, and she gradually learned about our Party's anti-Japanese policy and line.
In March 1933, Rehe also fell. In 19837, the Lugou Bridge Incident occurred, the all-out War of Resistance officially sounded, Lu Zhengcao led the troops to the south of Hebei to fight the Japanese Kou, Gao Chongde was responsible for leading the families of the troops to retreat.
At this time, the former Communist Party member surnamed Wang came to the door and asked her to find a way to establish a left-behind place in the Xinxiang area of Henan Province, which was specially used to contain wounded soldiers and scattered soldiers of the Northeast Army, with the purpose of cultivating anti-Japanese armed forces. Gao Chongde resolutely took over the task and took in about 300 former soldiers of the Northeast Army throughout Henan.
In 1937, at the recommendation of the communist party member surnamed Wang, Gao Chongde and our party members
Limber Canal
Meet. She thought she had a chance to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but Lin Boqu gave her another major task:
Help the Eighth Route Army smuggle arms and ammunition
This makes people a little strange, how can such a secret thing as smuggling arms be handed over to her? This is because, first of all, in the past, Lü Zhengcao's troops were mainly responsible for logistics, and they had every opportunity to contact arms; secondly, at this time, Lü Zhengcao had secretly joined our party, and Gao Chongde also knew our party very well and longed to join our party; finally, she had helped Lü Zhengcao transport arms and had experience in transportation.
Lin Boqu's choice of Gao Chongde was investigated and deliberate, and finally determined. Smuggling arms from the Kuomintang arsenal is not easy, and it is very dangerous if it is discovered.
Gao Chongde had experienced so many things, she had already seen very clearly, the Northeast Army and the Kuomintang army did not have the sincerity and determination to resist Japan, otherwise 9/18 would not have given up their hometown. The Communist Party is sincerely resisting Japan and is seriously doing it, and since it is for the sake of resisting Japan, there is nothing wrong with helping to transport arms itself.
After she figured it out, she accepted the task. Lin Boqu repeatedly told her about the places to pay attention to in this work and how to avoid danger. Since then, Lin Boqu has contacted her directly, and few people know about her, which is why few people know about her.
Because she had a relatively loud reputation in the Northeast Army, the guns were good, and the relationship with other officers was good, logistics was her job, and she had transported arms before, and no one suspected her. Moreover, Gao Chongde was also very cautious, controlling the number of arms every time, and was never discovered by the guards.
One day in 1938, when the Kuomintang army was counting the quantity of materials in the arsenal, it was found that it was wrong, which made it aware that the arsenal had long been stolen.
The matter was constantly reported, and the Kuomintang sent special personnel to investigate, and after verification, it was found that the number of stolen arms was very large, not a simple theft of arms. In the history of the Kuomintang, such a huge theft of arms has not been found.
This result shocked the Kuomintang, which attached great importance to it and claimed that the murderer must be caught. However, they found that they could not find a clue at all, and it was like a punch on a sponge. In the end, the matter was resolved and became an unsolved case.
The large amount of arms and materials smuggled out by Gao Chongde has solved the shortage of ammunition on the front line of our army and made great contributions to the victory of our army. It is precisely because of her help that our army's materials have greatly improved, helping us to win successive battles.
The Japanese army was shocked by the amount of ammunition of the Eighth Route Army, and during the engagement, the bullets of the Eighth Route Army seemed to be "
Never finish
Even the Kuomintang army suspected that the Eighth Route Army had secrets."
Arms Manufacturing Division
”。
The arsenal was constantly stolen, and the Kuomintang could not turn a blind eye, sent spies to investigate secretly, and finally found Gao Chongde's head, and she was exposed.
However, Gao Chongde was the wife of a senior Kuomintang officer, and this identity made these agents jealous, and she was in the barracks, and they did not dare to directly kill the killer, so they hid in the shadows and waited for the opportunity.
One night, a regiment of the Kuomintang surrounded Gao Chongde's garrison, but thanks to the protection of the regimental people, she escaped, but she was also seriously injured.
In order to protect Gao Chongde, the party organization found Gao Chongde who was fleeing through various information, disguised herself to escape the Kuomintang pursuit, and sent her safely to Yan'an.
Shortly after Gao Chongde arrived in Yan'an, his previous gunshot wounds recurred, so he underwent surgery at the Eighth Route Army Hospital. Before the operation began, Zhu De specifically told the hospital:
We must heal her well; she is a hero of our party and a "great thief of arms" in our party!
On August 15, 1945, Japan surrendered, and soon after the War of Liberation began, Gao Chongde followed the People's Liberation Army back to the northeast where it had been abandoned by the Kuomintang, participated in the Liaoshen Campaign, and began to recover the northeast step by step.
In 1950, Gao Chongde's gunshot wound recurred and he was sent to the hospital for convalescence. After recovering, Gao Chongde did not participate in the work again, and the organization arranged for her to live in the Cadre Rest House of the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee and enjoy the treatment of the main department.
The matter is dusted away, and the merit and name are hidden deeply. The matter of the elderly was known to the public because of a small talk. And on the hidden front, there are still many legendary heroes like Gao Lao. Their names may never be known, but their exploits will last forever.
