When it comes to the heroine of the towel, I believe that most of the friends will think of Mulan, who joined the army for her father, leaving a legendary story that is popular among the population.
In fact, Mulan not only existed in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but also in the revolutionary era. There is also a "Mulan" in the Eighth Route Army, but her and Mulan's purpose in joining the army is different, Hua Mulan joined the army for her father because her father was too old, and she joined the army for her father to avenge.
In order to join the Eighth Route Army, she concealed her gender and never took off her clothes when she slept, which aroused the curiosity of other soldiers, but she was able to hide her true gender very well.
I thought that this "Mulan" could always hide, but I didn't expect that she was exposed because of a gynecological disease.
Everyone knows that the Long March was very hard and the conditions were extremely harsh, and she suffered from gynecological diseases under this premise, and the high fever did not go away.
At first, she did not agree to see a doctor, because she would reveal her identity as soon as she saw a doctor, and then as her physical condition deteriorated, she had no choice but to agree to go to the hospital. After going to the hospital for examination, the female doctor could not believe the results of her examination, because the "warrior" in front of her was suffering from gynecological diseases.
It was only at this moment that her identity was revealed, and in the five years she had joined the army, she had also won one special merit, three major merits, four small merits, and was awarded the honorary title of "National Female Combat Hero" at the National Heroes' Conference.
This "modern version of Mulan" is named Guo Junqing,
So what happened to her?
Guo Junqing
His father and sister died one after another, and Guo Junqing vowed to take revenge
Guo Junqing was born in 1931 in a poor peasant family in Lingyuan County, Liaoning Province, although the family has 3 acres of river beach land, but the harvest is not very good, even if it is a good year, it can only get half a year's bran vegetables and half a year's grain.
Guo Junqing's father, due to perennial labor, is not as good as a day, and the whole family can only rely on his mother to support the family.
Guo Junqing's parents have little culture, and the family is more difficult, so it was not until Guo Junqing was 6 years old that her mother asked a teaching gentleman in the village to give her the name "Guo Junqing". When the mother chose this, she also hoped that her daughter could be beautiful and bright, and she could have a career in the future.
Guo Mu may not have thought of what she hopes for now, Guo Junqing has done it in the days to come, she is not only beautiful, but also made many military achievements and become a heroine respected by everyone.
Guo Junqing has liked to listen to her mother tell her stories since she was a child, when her mother talked about "Mulan women dressed as men, serving in the army for their father", little Guo Junqing would look at her mother with a serious face, and the concentration in her eyes could not be ignored.
When her mother finished telling this story, Guo Junqing said loudly:
"Mom, when I grow up, I will also go to be Mulan!"
Her daughter's innocent words caused Guo's mother to laugh bitterly, and this became the most precious memory of Guo Junqing when she was a child.
In the summer when Guo Junqing was 7 years old, it suddenly rained heavily in the sky, which rained for 3 days and 3 nights, and half of Beidian Village was submerged, and Guo Junqing's family was certainly no exception. Guo Junqing's only 3 acres of river beach land in her home have been submerged, so her family lacks food sources and the economy is more difficult.
In the face of a mess, Guo Junqing's father made a fierce decision, that is, to bring a family of old and young to the sparsely populated grasslands of Inner Mongolia. Although the land here is sparsely populated and the land is fertile, none of them belong to Guo Junqing's family.
In order to make ends meet, Guo Junqing's father had to take his whole family to the landlord Weng Dechen's family as a tenant, eating and living in a short and small house in The Weng Dechen family. The father dragged his long-ill body to chop wood for the landlord, and the mother did some chores for the landlord's family.
Don't think that Guo Junqing and his brother can not work at a young age, although they are young, but the landlord will still let them herd cattle and sheep. The life of Guo Junqing's family is very hard, but as long as the family can be together, it is the greatest happiness.
In the winter of 1944, on a stormy and snowy night, the landlord Weng Dechen forced Guo Junqing's father to go to the well platform to fetch water, but unexpectedly, something happened that hit Guo Junqing very hard.
Guo Junqing's father had done a lot of farm work during the day, his body was tired, plus his body was not good, the snow patio was slippery, a bucket of water had not yet been hit, and his father fell on the well platform and fainted.
Everyone knows that winter in Inner Mongolia is very cold, so when people find him, his body is already covered with a thick layer of snow, and his left eye is even more broken and can't see anything.
Guo Junqing's father was so badly injured that he should have let him rest at home, but everyone also knew that the landlord at that time was very bad, so the ruthless landlord had not let Guo Junqing's father go up the mountain to cut firewood for two days.
Guo Junqing's father knew that if he did not go, then the livelihood of the family would be difficult to maintain, so he had to endure the anger to go up the mountain to cut firewood. At that time, my father was already angry in his heart, and his mood was even worse, plus one eye could not see anything, and he rolled from the edge of a ditch to the bottom of the ditch when he slipped under his feet, and completely fainted.
When it was time for dinner in the evening, Guo Junqing and his mother saw that their father had not returned home for a long time, and they knew that something had happened, and they came to the ravine in the dark to shout their father's name, and they looked for four ravines to see their father's figure.
At this time, Guo Junqing's father's limbs had been frozen, only his heart was beating slightly, and his father was carried home until the next morning when he woke up. I thought that my father would turn the danger into a disaster again and again, and this time it would be the same, but I didn't expect that my father's eyes were completely invisible.
When the landlord learned of this incident, he did not compensate Guo Junqing's father, but directly fired their entire family, which made the already poor family worse. His father was anxious and angry, and his illness worsened by hunger, and he died less than three days later.
In the face of her father's body, Guo Junqing cried into tears, but at the same time she also faced a trouble, that is, there was no money to bury her father. In the end, with the help of kind neighbors, Guo Junqing's father was buried.
The burden of the family fell on Guo Junqing, who had to shave her head and dress up as a boy in order to go out to work. However, Guo Junqing alone could not feed a large family, they often ate and starved, and their sister, who was only 3 years old, starved to death.
Guo Junqing saw her sister die, she couldn't bear it anymore, she knew it was all because of the landlord. From this day on, Guo Junqing became more and more disgusted with the landlord class, and she secretly vowed to avenge her father and sister.
Women dressed as men and joined the Eighth Route Army
Guo Junqing heard many stories about the Eighth Route Army during his work trip, and his impression of the Eighth Route Army in his heart became better and better. One day in August 1945, the Soviet Red Army marched into Linxi County, and Guo Junqing suddenly found that there were also women in this Red Army team, and it was precisely because of this that Guo Junqing had an idea in his heart.
After Guo Junqing returned home, he told his mother that he wanted to join the army, and he thought that he would get his mother's opposition, but he did not expect that his mother did not oppose, but fully supported. In this way, Guo Junqing came to the registration office of the Eighth Route Army.
Just when Guo Junqing was excited to prepare to register, he heard that the Eighth Route Army did not accept female soldiers. Guo Junqing had long been determined to join the Eighth Route Army, and she had the opportunity to wipe her face with a layer of black ash, coupled with her bald head, many people thought she was a young man.
When the people at the registration desk saw the diminutive Guo Junqing, they asked her: "What is your name and how old are you this year?" Guo Junqing replied:
"Guo Fu, 17 years old this year, can join the army."
The people at the registration desk contacted no less than a few people every day, and he saw at a glance that the "young man" in front of him was still very young, so he said to her:
"You're too young, or you'll sign up in two years."
If Guo Junqing gave up easily, it would not be her. A few days later, when the troops left the area, Guo Junqing followed behind the team for more than 200 kilometers, in addition to which Guo Junqing also pestered the head of the unit to join the army, saying that although she looked short, her strength was not small at all.
The head of the Eighth Route Army saw that Guo Junqing was so insistent, and he saw his love for the Eighth Route Army in Guo Junqing's eyes, so he approved Guo Junqing to join the Eighth Route Army and arranged to be a correspondent in the communications class.
At this time, Guo Junqing was only 14 years old.
Guo Junqing finally got what she wanted and successfully joined the Eighth Route Army, and she was not to mention how happy she was. When Guo Junqing put on the wide and large military uniform, her tears could no longer be contained, and she laughed while crying, not to mention how awkward her expression was.
Guo Junqing (right)
Avenging her father is the purpose of Guo Junqing's joining the army, so during the time when she first put on the military uniform, Guo Junqing told everyone about her father's encounter, and over time more and more people knew Guo Junqing's true purpose of joining the army.
However, Guo Junqing's approach has received the attention of the above, the organization believes that the personal resemblance ideas that exist in the minds of these fighters are not feasible, if every soldier joins the army to avenge his relatives, then what is the team like?
The troops conducted some education on these people, which also further enhanced the thinking of Guo Junqing and others, and only by overthrowing the three mountains, overthrowing Chiang Kai-shek, and avenging the country, can their own family revenge be repaid.
Guo Junqing's thinking has changed, she has also become more hard, when other fighters are training, she is also training, other fighters are eating, she is also training, Guo Junqing's actual combat level has been improved.
A few days after Guo Junqing joined the Eighth Route Army, the War of Resistance Against Japan was victorious, and the Eighth Route Army was officially renamed the "People's Liberation Army." Subsequently, Guo Junqing served as a cavalry correspondent, and as the name suggests, it was necessary to ride a horse to deliver the news.
Horseback riding to deliver news requires superb riding skills, but this is another problem for Guo Junqing. Guo Junqing's family is more difficult, when he was young, he only came into contact with animals such as cattle and sheep, although he had also seen horses, but he had not learned to ride a horse.
Guo Junqing has a patriotic heart, no matter how big the difficulty is not difficult for her, in the early morning Guo Junqing led the horse to start practicing, because the horse is too strong, so Guo Junqing was thrown off as soon as he got on the horse. With repeated falls, Guo Junqing finally learned to ride a horse after a long period of training and became an excellent cavalry correspondent.
In the winter of 1946, Guo Junqing received a task to hand over an urgent order to friendly troops 30 kilometers away within 4 hours. It was already dark, and coupled with the fact that the troops were stationed in ravines, one would be spotted by the enemy if one was not careful, and it was a dangerous task.
At that time, Guo Junqing was only 15 years old, and she kept rushing to complete the task on time, so when Guo Junqing arrived at the friendly troops, she spent less than 4 hours, which can be said to be super strong to complete the task.
Guo Junqing (far right)
The modern version of Mulan has made many military achievements
Although the life of the army is tired, it is very sufficient, and Guo Junqing is very happy here every day, but what makes her most unbearable is that the soldiers are too "enthusiastic". Everyone knows that most of the PLA are farmers, and the biggest advantage of farmers is that they are generous and honest, but Guo Junqing cannot be treated so warmly at this time.
In the eyes of many warriors, Guo Junqing is a "strange person", she never takes off her clothes when she sleeps, let alone go to the toilet and bathe with other fighters. When others played with Guo Junqing, she also dodged and never had contact with other fighters.
Once Guo Junqing went to the toilet far away, and for a very long time, the chief criticized her for "strong feudal consciousness" after reading it, and the chief at this time did not know Guo Junqing's true gender.
In addition, on another occasion, other fighters felt that Guo Junqing was a little shy, hoping that she could integrate into the whole early, and a warrior named "Xiao Li" suddenly hugged her from behind Guo Junqing, which could frighten Guo Junqing a lot.
Guo Junqing immediately broke free of Xiao Li's embrace, subconsciously took out his bayonet and waved it, the other fighters were stunned to see Guo Junqing like this, they did not know what happened to Guo Junqing, they could only look at her in shock.
Guo Junqing sensed the surprised eyes of the warriors, and after reacting, he cried loudly, as if he had been greatly wronged. Many soldiers thought that Guo Junqing was frightened, but only Guo Junqing himself knew the real reason, and from then on, the soldiers no longer dared to joke with Guo Junqing.
However, it was precisely because of this incident that Guo Junqing and the warriors gradually became familiar. When someone in the team is sick, Guo Junqing will help the sick number cook, and the soldiers are particularly fond of this delicate little comrade-
On the way to the Long March
During the march of the troops, the soldiers needed to walk through the waist-length river, and in order not to leave behind the four seriously injured sick numbers, Guo Junqing carried these soldiers one by one, and she herself fell into a very serious gynecological disease because of the cold, which also paved the way for Guo Junqing to expose her identity later.
In June 1947, Guo Junqing officially joined the Communist Party of China, and she wrote in her application for membership:
"To serve the people, we must serve to the end, and in order to fulfill the party's tasks, we must not be afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice."
Guo Junqing's application to join the party made many people very touched, they did not expect a 16-year-old child to have such ambitions.
After Guo Junqing joined the party, he was transferred to the 4th squad of the 3rd Company of the 48th Army of the Northeast Field Army as a squad leader, which only had a dozen old-fashioned rifles and dozens of grenades, which was very inadequate.
The most important thing is that most of the soldiers in this squad are new recruits who have just entered the battlefield and have no combat experience, but Guo Junqing is not discouraged after reading it, but encourages the soldiers to practice well. At this time, the Nationalist army acted as an army and launched a large-scale attack on our army stationed in the Reliao area of Hebei.
Guo Junqing was ordered to lead his generals to participate in the Battle of Pingquan, and the fourth squad, as a assault squad, was responsible for capturing the second mountain beam in the east of the city, and they faced more than 60 well-equipped and experienced enemies, and the battle was also extremely difficult for Guo Junqing.
Shortly after the battle began, the deputy squad leader who followed Guo Junqing was killed by being shot, guo Junqing's eyes were straight red when she saw the rear gas, and she waved the red flag while shouting "Avenge the deputy squad leader" while taking the lead and rushing up the mountain beam. The other fighters were stunned by the death of the deputy squad leader and the shouts of the squad leader, and they rushed forward with Guo Junqing and successfully occupied the mountain beam.
However, the capture of Shanliang was not yet the ultimate success, and after repelling the enemy's fourth counterattack, Guo Junqing collapsed on the ground due to excessive blood loss.
At this moment, the two enemies rushed to Guo Junqing one after the other, and Guo Junqing, who was originally paralyzed on the ground, immediately stood up and killed the enemy who rushed up first. The other enemy did not dare to act rashly when he saw this, and then raised his hands and surrendered.
After the victory of the battle, Guo Junqing was praised for her battle merits at the appraisal meeting, and the four classes she commanded were also awarded the title of "Combat Model Class".
At the beginning of the Liaoshen Campaign, Guo Junqing changed from a squad leader to a deputy instructor of a machine gun company. In order to contain the enemy in Jinxi, Guo Junqing led his men to quickly go to the blockade and participate in the more famous and serious sacrifice of the Dalazi Mountain Blockade Battle.
Although Guo Junqing was a girl, she was not afraid of these battles at all, and in the face of the repeated bombardment of six or seven times the enemy and aircraft artillery, Guo Junqing led his men to rush to the enemy again and again, repelling wave after wave of enemy attacks.
After three days and three nights of bloody fighting, Guo Junqing led his troops and brother troops to complete the task of blocking the attack, and made a contribution to the annihilation of more than 100,000 defenders in Jinzhou, and the Northeast Field Army also sent a commendation telegram to all the fighters who participated in the blockade battle.
Because of gynecological diseases, the true sex is exposed
On October 6, 1949, the city of Shaoguan in Guangdong Province was officially liberated, and Guo Junqing stayed in Shaoguan to recuperate because of his physical discomfort. At that time, Guo Junqing was still unwilling to cooperate with the treatment, which also led to her illness getting worse and worse, and finally the high fever did not go away.
Fortunately, Guo Junqing, who was in a coma, was found and sent to the hospital, without checking, he did not know, a test was frightened, and the female doctors who examined could not believe the report they received in their hands. It turned out that the "little warrior" in front of her was a girl and suffered from a very serious gynecological disease.
When the doctor discovered this secret, he did not dare to make a decision without permission, so he had to report the matter to Guo Junqing's leadership. When the leader received this news, he also knew that this was not a trivial matter, and then reported to his superiors, and the head of the unit, knowing about this matter, decided to go to the hospital to see the comrade in person.
At this time, Guo Junqing, who was recuperating in the hospital, did not know it, but when she saw that the chiefs had come to visit her, she knew that her identity could not be hidden. Guo Junqing told the chief his real name and experience, and then waited for the chief's punishment.
What was surprising was that the chief did not punish Guo Junqing after listening, but praised her as a female Haojie. The news that Guo Junqing was a girl also spread among the troops, and He Jinnian, commander of the 48th Army, laughed even more when he learned about this incident, saying:
"Oh well! There was a modern Mulan in our army, which is the pride of our 48th Army! ”
Guo Junqing originally thought that what was waiting for her was the punishment of the army, the scolding of her superiors, and the strange eyes of her comrades-in-arms, but what was waiting for her was a voice of admiration.
The leaders of the unit reported the incident to the Central And Southern Military Region, which believed that a girl dressed as a man in order to join the army and made many military achievements, which was a very worthy of publicity and praise.
Guo Junqing and his comrades-in-arms attended the National Congress of Combat Heroes
In September 1950, the National Congress of Combat Heroes was held in Beijing, and Guo Junqing participated in the meeting, and was on the list of the presidium of the congress, and was one of the 11 combat heroes who spoke.
Everyone should know that it was not easy to become a hero at that time, not to mention that she was still a hero who could speak on stage, and it seems that Guo Junqing's battle achievements are really many. Guo Junqing was also awarded at this meeting
"Special Combat Hero"
The title.
On the afternoon of September 25, Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai, and Zhu De waited for the heroes to arrive at the gate of the Beijing Hotel. When the soldiers entered the hotel, they saw an unexpected figure, Chairman Mao.
Chairman Mao shook hands with every hero in the reception hall to congratulate them on their triumphant return, and many soldiers were so excited that they shed tears when they saw this place, and in their hearts the hero was not himself, but Chairman Mao.
Guo Junqing was honored to present a wreath of flowers to Chairman Mao on behalf of all the heroic models, and Chairman Mao also cordially shook hands with her and thanked her.
Zhao Xingyuan
He fell in love with Zhao Xingyuan, but was rejected miserably
After the National Congress of Combat Heroes, Guo Junqing joined the Delegation of Chinese Youth visiting the Soviet Union, accompanied by Zhao Xingyuan, deputy head of the Fourth Field Army. Zhao Xingyuan is 5 years older than Guo Junqing, the two have known each other before this, zhao Xingyuan often takes care of Guo Junqing, which also makes Guo Junqing secretly agree.
Although Guo Junqing made many military achievements, she was still a shy girl in her heart, and she did not take the initiative to confess because of shyness, until this trip to the Soviet Union, Guo Junqing could no longer bear it.
Guo Junqing asked tentatively:
"People say the two of us are getting married, have you heard that?"
Zhao Xingyuan replied:
"The two of us are too prominent to be together."
Zhao Xingyuan's intention of refusing was too obvious, and Guo Junqing also heard it.
Guo Junqing did not give up, but offered to exchange watches and leave a souvenir for each other. Zhao Xingyuan is not a procrastinating person, he does not like it or does not like it, and then said euphemistically
"Xiao Guo, I am about to participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, I am a commander, I need to use my watch to see the time, you return the watch to me." ”
Guo Junqing did not want to give, but Zhao Xingyuan insisted, and finally Guo Junqing threw his watch to the ground and ran away crying.
Zhao Xingyuan and Guo Junqing (the two most in the list)
In fact, love is like this, dislike is dislike, no matter how long it takes, you will not like a person you don't like. Although Guo Junqing was rejected by Zhao Xingyuan, there was a person who silently loved her, and that person was Guo Junqing's old platoon leader.
Guo Junqing's old platoon leader confessed to Guo Junqing, but Guo Junqing told him that he had removed his uterus because of a gynecological disease and could no longer have children. The old platoon leader did not flinch after listening, but said:
"It doesn't matter if you can't have children, I love you, and we can adopt one without children."
Guo Junqing still refused after thinking about it, she did not want to drag down a good comrade. In this way, Guo Junqing did not marry in his life and adopted two daughters.
In the early morning of September 23, 1983, Guo Junqing left us forever, and she was only 52 years old when she died. Although Guo Junqing is gone, the heroic deeds she left behind will never disappear!
