Throughout the ages, most of the people who can leave their names in military history are men, leaving aside the gender concept of the old society, the average man is indeed much stronger than women in terms of physical fitness. In the army, whether in wartime or peacetime, the physical fitness requirements for soldiers are very high, even if there is a special female soldier unit, but the most top-notch group of soldiers is still mostly male. It is precisely based on such objective conditions that many women who have left their names in military history by their own efforts are particularly powerful.
Before the founding of New China, the Chinese army experienced many wars, and countless soldiers used their own efforts to win a peaceful and free life for all Chinese people. But in the war, it is not only the "hot-blooded men" mentioned in the history books, many female soldiers are braver than many male soldiers on the battlefield, completely continuing the spirit of Mulan. Today I want to introduce you to a female soldier of the Red Army, she is not only determined and brave to bear hardships and stand hard work, but also has a superior strategy, many people in the army call her "Mulan in the Red Army".
The female warrior's name is He Ziyou, a native of Sichuan Province, a "hot girl", her family is poor but she did not willingly degenerate, but cultivated the quality of hard-working. And she has been strong since she was a child, and did not choose to go to school to study, but followed a martial arts master to learn martial arts, or the 12th generation of Wudang Taihe Quan. After years of training, she not only mastered the kung fu of fists and feet, but also developed a character who was not afraid of heaven.
In 1933, he Ziyou, who turned twenty years old, joined the Red Army, and her troops also experienced the test of the Long March. During the Long March, the troops encountered mountain bandits many times, and she defeated several bandit leaders single-handedly, leading the troops through the bandits' nests safely. After seeing her fist and foot kung fu, the high-level officials appointed her as the head of the martial arts. In fact, she was initially arranged to carry out logistical work in the rear, and it was safer to work in the rear, and most of the female soldiers were arranged in such positions.
But she felt that she had a fist and foot kung fu, and if she did not go to the front line, it would be wasted, so she took the initiative to ask to go to the front line, and after many applications, the leader agreed to her request. And she did not live up to the expectations of the leadership, had courage and strategy when fighting on the front line, led the troops to repel the enemy army many times, and won the title of "He Iron Fist".
In addition to being able to mingle with the male soldiers around him when fighting, He Ziyou also got along well with the soldiers in private, relying on the amount of alcohol he did not lose to men. Because of the relationship between her martial arts, she likes to drink, and after many years of drinking, she has developed a good amount of alcohol, and she can drink a lot of wine with steamed buns, and she often drinks with General Xu Shiyou.
Her husband, Zhou Zikun, is also a soldier, and the two met in Yan'an, and after having a foundation of affection, they decided to get married. Soon after the marriage, Zhou Zikun was transferred to the Jiangsu area, and was later brutally killed by traitors. Knowing this nightmare, He Ziyou was already pregnant, and everyone around her was worried that she would not be able to open it.
But He Ziyou showed the strong side of the Chinese female soldiers, and after a few days of depression, she quickly calmed her mood and dragged her body into the revolution. Although she did not marry her husband for a long time, she was resolutely reluctant to marry again, preferring to raise two children alone to grow up, which shows what a long-term lover she is.
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, she went to the northeast, where she worked in factories, and after the situation in the northeast stabilized, she went to Shanghai. But no matter where she worked, she always wore a clean-washed military uniform. In 1955, the whole army was awarded the rank, and He Ziyou was awarded the three major medals of August 1st, Independence and Freedom, and Liberation by virtue of his seniority and wartime contributions. He Ziyou, who dedicated her life to the country, has always had a good physical fitness because of the relationship between learning martial arts, so she is very long-lived, and died of illness in Nanjing at the age of 103.
