In ancient China, Mulan is the representative of the heroes of the towel, Mulan hid her own female body to follow the soldiers to fight on the battlefield, 12 years have not been exposed, this historical allusion, so far widely known, has become a typical representative of women's self-reliance and self-reliance. However, in our army, there has actually been such a heroine named Guo Junqing, let's understand the story of this female warrior Guo Junqing.
Guo Junqing was born in Liaoning in 1931, and that year coincided with the outbreak of the September 18 Incident, the northeast region under the rule of the Japanese army, the people suffered from the abuse of the Japanese army, the Japanese army with great fanfare to encroach on the main resources of our country. Guo Junqing's family was brutalized by the Japanese army and was forced to leave his hometown. Her parents took her and eventually fled to Inner Mongolia, where her father barely managed to maintain his livelihood by doing farm work for the landlord's family, but later died of hatred under the abuse of the landlord.
Born in the old society, Guo Junqing has been subjected to all kinds of oppression since she was a child, so she has slowly established a lofty ideal in her heart, and she must defeat these enemies who oppress her. As she grew up, she had the idea of serving the country from the military, but there were very few women on the battlefield at that time.
It was not until 1945, when Japan announced its surrender, that year she had the opportunity to sign up for the army, but at that time, the recruitment of soldiers would only recruit male soldiers, so Guo Junqing cut off her long hair and put on a men's suit to sign up for the army. At that time, the recruitment was not as harsh as it is now, and Guo Junqing was lucky enough to pass and finally joined the People's Liberation Army.
With a strong personality, she did not train less and work less than others because she was a woman. It is worth mentioning that she also deliberately conceals her identity as a woman, whether it is taking a bath or going to the toilet, she secretly goes, or acts when no one is in the middle of the night, and never takes off her coat for 5 years of sleeping at night. In the face of questions from her comrades-in-arms, she always tried her best to prevaricate.
It is worth mentioning that in the practice she is particularly strong, and even dare to compete with male soldiers, in order to get rid of the disadvantage of her own strength, she began to redouble her efforts to train, in the practice of throwing grenades, the arm training swollen and did not stop, and finally her results improved by leaps and bounds, catching up with most people, and other work was also very positive.
She was quickly praised by the leadership, and also selected her as an excellent soldier, many training projects won the first place, she became the eyes of her comrades-in-arms, not only very hard-working in training, she was also very strong when participating in the battle.
In 1946, when encircling and suppressing a group of bandits, the leader sent her to report to another army, she rode a horse and braved heavy snow, experienced a night of non-stop running, successfully delivered the news, surrounded by two armies, annihilated the bandits. In that year, she received a second-class meritorious service award for her outstanding performance.
Later, her army was ordered by her superiors to chase after a group of bandits, and many of the fighters were wounded in the battle, and finally succeeded in trapping the bandits. However, in the cold northern region, Guo Junqing stepped on the glacier and lay in the snow during the battle, which finally made her body fall ill and lose female fertility.
After that, Guo Junqing joined our party and became the backbone of the army, and she followed the troops to participate in the liberation war. In the battle, she rushed to the front from beginning to end, and finally when the bullets were finished, she took all the fighters to fight with the enemy's white blade, repelling the enemy's attacks again and again.
Because of her excellent performance in the war, Guo Junqing was promoted by her superiors and became a deputy instructor. At the height of the war, she was forced to be hospitalized due to a recurrence of a female illness that had accumulated in a long period of harsh environment.
When doctors operated on her, her identity could no longer be concealed. At this time, she was forced to confide in the doctor the truth about her situation. Soon the story of Guo Junqing being the army Mulan was spread, which caused a great shock at the time.
When the Liberation War ended, Guo Junqing was awarded the title of "National Special Female Combat Hero" by the Central Military Commissar and participated in the army's combat exchange meeting, after which she was also met by Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu, praising her as "Mulan in the Army." "She wasn't 20 years old at the time.
Guo Junqing was then reinstated to local work as the director of a garment factory in Shandong, and later to the deputy director of Cao County Civil Affairs. Guo Junqing is a good example for contemporary women, concealing that she is a woman and resolutely throwing herself into the revolutionary war.
She lost her fertility due to fighting in harsh conditions, and later she adopted a daughter, who, for various reasons, could not be registered and assigned jobs. Guo Junqing still has not made his own demands to the organization, encouraging his daughter to rely on herself and do business on her own.
In 1983, Guo Junqing fell ill due to overwork. At the age of 52, she left forever, and when her family sorted out her belongings, she did not see a single valuable item, only some daily necessities for personal use, and all the savings combined were less than 80 yuan.
"Youth in the Fire of War" is adapted from the story of Guo Junqing, and the people of the whole country once again know the story of this heroine. Guo Junqing gave her youth and passion to the revolutionary cause, and her story is worth remembering and learning.
