"The male rabbit's feet are fluttering, the female rabbit's eyes are confused; the double rabbit walks on the ground, can Ann distinguish that I am a male and a female?" Compared with the story of Mulan's woman dressing as a man to serve in the army for her father, a woman hides her gender, goes to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and finally returns to her hometown to restore her daughter's body, becoming a legend that has been passed down through the ages.
So during the Chinese revolution, were there also strange women like Mulan who appeared in the army? The answer is yes. In 1945, after the Liberation War broke out, a woman named Guo Junqing, alias Guo Fu, dressed as a man, lied about her age and successfully joined the Eighth Route Army.
She is brave and good at war, and has won 1 special merit, 3 major merits and 4 small merits. After revealing the identity of the woman, her deeds were widely circulated, and the protagonist "Takayama" in the famous novel "Youth in the Fire of War" was narrated based on her, and then adapted into a movie, which was released nationwide in 1959.
Guo Junqing was born in 1931, when the land of China was full of the smoke of war, and the iron hooves of the Japanese army wantonly trampled on the territory of our country. Born in a poor family in a chaotic world, Guo Junqing has seen the cruelty of the adult world since childhood.
When he was 7 years old, Guo Junqing's hometown of Lingyuan County, Liaoning Province, caused a famine and starvation. She fled with her family to the grasslands of Inner Mongolia. The parents set up an errand under the landlord Weng Dechen, and the family lived in a dilapidated house in Ondechen, although it was simple, but fortunately there was a shelter from the wind and rain.
People under the eaves had to bow their heads. Living in the landlord's house was not a good one. Ondechen loved money as much as his life, was very stingy, treated the workers extremely harshly, he treated the workers as badly as people, and squeezed them as desperately as cattle. His father, who had not had enough to eat, was overwhelmed and died of overwork a few years later.
In order to make a living, Guo Junqing shaved her head and pretended to be a boy to go out to do odd jobs to support her family, although she worked hard, she still could not fill the family's stomach. One day, when she came home from work as a mason, her mother told her bad news: her 3-year-old sister had unfortunately died. After the mother and daughter hugged their headaches and cried, Guo Junqing secretly decided that she must change this life.
After surviving in the cracks for several years, the Eighth Route Army came to the town where Guo Junqing was located. It was the autumn of 1945, after the fight away from Little Japan, the Kuomintang Civil War broke out, the 14-year-old Guo Junqing lied about his age, changed his name to Guo Fu, and dressed as a man to join the Eighth Route Army. Because she was small and not tall, but she was agile, she was assigned to the cavalry communications squad.
In the winter of 1946, on a snowy night, Guo Junqing's communications squad received an urgent task: to notify the troops stationed in Baiyin Butong, 60 miles away, to return within 4 hours to carry out the mission, and to rush back with the troops.
The communications squad that received the task immediately mounted on its horse and set off, but the snow was so heavy that the snow did not even reach its knees, and it could not continue to ride, but could only lead the horse forward one foot deep and one foot shallow in the snow.
The road surface was completely covered, unable to familiarize himself with the road conditions under his feet, Guo Junqing fell several times on the way forward, and even accidentally fell into a deep ditch, his clothes and hats had long been wet by the wind and snow, a gust of wind blew through, and people only shivered with cold.
None of this slowed her down, and she had only one goal, that is, not to delay the fighter, and to inform the garrison as soon as possible. After experiencing most of the night rush, Guo Junqing and his comrades successfully completed the task in the early morning of the next day, but on the way back, Guo Junqing's mount died of exhaustion.
The horse that had accompanied her for a long time fell, Guo Junqing was very sad, but time did not allow her to stay longer, and after sorting out her emotions, she returned to the station with the saddle on her back. Because of the long time walking in the snow and ice, she fell into gynecology.
After successfully returning to the garrison, she was given a small contribution to the organization, and since then, in many missions, Guo Junqing has successfully completed them very well, and she has repeatedly passed through the enemy-occupied areas alone, transmitting intelligence under the eyes of the reactionaries, she is quick and quick, and the chief praises her.
It is worth mentioning that in June 1947, Guo Junqing joined the Communist Party of China and has since become a proletarian fighter.
In one battle after another, Guo Junqing's ideological consciousness has been greatly improved, and she always wanted to avenge her father and defeat the landlords who oppressed their family. Now, her goal is to follow the Communist Party to liberate all of China, so that all the toiling masses in China who live in the depths of the sea can live a good life.
In 1948, Guo Junqing was transferred to the 4th Squad of the 3rd Company of the 48th Army of the Northeast Field Army as a squad leader. After the Battle of Pingquan began, the 4th squad led by Guo Junqing was ordered to capture the second mountain beam east of the city as a assault squad.
Most of Guo Junqing's squad consisted of recruits, only a dozen old-fashioned rifles and dozens of grenades, and they were facing 60 well-equipped Nationalist soldiers. There were differences in weapons and numbers, but Guo Junqing was not afraid, and after the battle began, she rushed to the front of the line with a red flag and fought all the way.
In the course of the fierce battle between the two sides, the deputy squad leader was unfortunately hit by the enemy's bullet and fell next to Guo Junqing. When the soldiers were sad and indignant, Guo Junqing shouted: "Chong, avenge the deputy squad leader!" Turning his grief into a sharp knife that stabbed at the enemy, he rushed towards the mountain beam.
Shortly thereafter, the enemy launched a counter-charge, Guo Junqing led the fighters to engage in a white-knife battle with the enemy, and after dozens of minutes of fierce fighting, Guo Junqing and the fighters successfully took the position. After the battle, the regiment awarded the pennant of "Combat Model Class" to the 4th class.
It is actually very difficult for women to dress as men in the army, sleeping in a large bunk, bathing and going to the toilet are very inconvenient. In order not to let her comrades-in-arms see her identity, Guo Junqing's bed was arranged in the innermost part, and she did not take off her clothes regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter.
When it came to the bath, it was even more troublesome, the army was a large bathhouse, everyone was washing together, Guo Junqing could only wait for them to wash after they were washed and then quietly sneaked in to wash, sometimes comrades-in-arms called him to go together to untie his hands, she pushed three or four to find a reason to prevaricate.
In order to make his behavior more like men, Guo Junqing deliberately learned to smoke. But no matter how disguised, he could not become a real man, and the comrades who spent every day and night gradually discovered something different, and some people said: "Have you found it, Guo Fu never takes off his clothes when he sleeps, nor does he take a bath with us." ”
In order to unravel this mystery, the comrades decided to test Guo Junqing, and once a comrade took advantage of her lack of preparation and suddenly hugged her from behind, and tried to rip open her clothes to find out. This act really frightened Guo Junqing, and she cried and waved her dagger at them, which allowed her to escape.
But the paper could not contain the fire after all, in April 1950, Guo Junqing fell ill, because of overwork, but also because of the root of the gynecological disease left behind, the comrades-in-arms sent her to the hospital, and unsurprisingly, the military doctor found her daughter's body.
Soon this news spread throughout the army, and Guo Junqing was very worried in her heart, and she was afraid that she would not be able to stay in the army from now on. However, after the military commander He Jinnian heard this, he admired her very much, and he informed the whole army of Guo Junqing's glorious deeds.
In September 1950, Guo Junqing was awarded the titles of "National Female Combat Hero" and "Modern Mulan" by the Central Military Commission, won 3 medals, and attended the National Congress of Combat Heroes as a special female combat hero, and was cordially received by Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou and other state leaders.
Subsequently, she entered Chinese Min University to study cultural knowledge, and under the arrangement of the organization, Guo Junqing transferred to a local work, never married in her life, and adopted two daughters. He died in Nanjing in September 1983, and in 2009, Guo Junqing was awarded the title of ""
