In 1928, Li Zhen's Shuangdong base area, which had been tempered and grown up in the war, was in full swing and was surrounded and suppressed by the reactionaries.
At that time, Li Zhen was already four months pregnant, and after fighting with the enemy for a day, Li Zhen and others were forced to retreat to the mountains, and insisted on fighting for a week without food in the mountains, at this time the comrades around them fell one by one, and the enemy shouted at this time to catch the live, at this time Li Zhen and several comrades-in-arms had retreated to the cliff, facing the cliff several inches deep, Li Zhen issued a death order:
"You can't let the enemy catch it alive and jump down!"
After speaking, Li Zhen took the lead and jumped off the cliff, and the guerrillas followed.
Later, Li Zhen woke up to find herself stuck in the trees on the edge of the cliff and had miscarried. In order to escape the enemy's encirclement and suppression, Li Zhen and others could only walk with a limp, in order to catch up with the troops, they could only walk step by step, Li Zhen, a pregnant woman who had just miscarried, also walked like this, and she had been injured without getting a rest, and as a result, she was only twenty years old and lost her ability to give birth forever.
For a moment, a senior general was born
In 1928, the guerrillas developed greatly, from the initial no gun, with the first gun, to more and more weapons, but the gun is still the life of the team members, at that time the soldiers' committee had a rule, who lost the gun will be shot, this is a discipline passed by all the soldiers.
However, Yang Meisheng lost his gun, and if he killed his comrade-in-arms because of this, Li Zhen could not bear it, but he was the chairman of the soldiers' committee, and he should take the lead in enforcing discipline.
At night, Li Zhen turned around and didn't know what to do, if it was an enemy, needless to say, she immediately raised her gun and shot; but now it was her own comrade-in-arms, how could she be willing to do it.
After thinking about it for a night, Li Zhen thought of a way to have the best of both worlds, that is, to let Yang Meisheng grab a gun in battle, her idea was agreed by some people, some people opposed, Li Zhen moved to understand the reason to get everyone's unanimous approval. When Yang Meisheng learned of Li Zhen's thoughts, he was moved to his knees and fell to his knees:
"I must take it from the enemy."
rob
Take it back! ”
A few days later, in an attack on the enemy, the guerrillas achieved a great victory, captured more than a dozen guns, and when the guerrillas returned triumphantly, they smiled and giggled at Yang Meisheng's shoulders carrying the three rifles that had just been captured, and carrying a large knife in his hand. Yang Meisheng later became a senior general in the People's Liberation Army, and until his later years, he did not forget Li Zhen's comrade-in-arms who "left people under the knife".
Yang Meisheng (1905-1978) was originally named Yang Xunmei. A native of Xiangtan County, Hunan Province. He was awarded the rank of lieutenant general in 1955.
Revolutionary couples were forced to form families again
In 1932, the women's group led by Li Zhen grew tremendously, and she also married her revolutionary leader and Zhang Qilong, the introducer of joining the party, but unfortunately the revolutionary couple was forced to break up within a few years.
Zhang Qilong (1900-1987), joined the Party in 1926, participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising, the Long March, and after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, entered the Party School of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Yan'an at the end of 1937. Since January 1946, he has successively served as the deputy secretary and secretary of the Jiliao Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, and in March 1950, he was appointed secretary of the Liaodong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China.
In order to support Zhang Qilong's revolution, the Zhang family has 6 relatives who have sacrificed their lives, Zhang Qilong's father was tortured and tortured in place of Zhang Qilong, the corpse was in the wilderness, and his ex-wife and his daughter were both tortured to death by the Kuomintang.
All this did not crush his enthusiasm for revolution, but on the contrary stimulated his firm will to take the revolutionary road. Due to the influence of Wang Ming's left-leaning adventurism, Zhang Qilong was framed and persecuted by Liu Shijie and others who later defected to the enemy, removed from his post and imprisoned, and expelled from the party. If it were not for Ren Bishi and Wang Zhen's efforts to protect him many times later, he would have almost been killed.
But all this did not overthrow the couple, Li Zhen strengthened her trust in Zhang Qilong, and Zhang Qilong wrote to him to reassure her that she would not commit suicide, he was imprisoned for one year and two months, but he was treated unfairly but with a frank heart, selfless and fearless.
Zhang Qilong was an optimist, discussing the situation with other comrades-in-arms in the place of detention, talking about work, and laughing, which also made his comrades-in-arms like him very much, but all this was persecuted by Liu Shijie even more madly, on the one hand, forcing Li Zhen to let her draw a clear line with Zhang Qilong, on the other hand, forcing Zhang Qilong to say that he was not worthy of being the husband of a Communist Party member and revolutionary cadre, and asking him to divorce him. Zhang Qilong did not pay attention to this, but when they said that you, a counter-revolutionary husband, would involve Li Zhen's innocence, they stung Zhang Qilong's heart. After repeated thinking, lest Liu Shijie and them harm Li Zhen, he was sad and bitter, and finally made up his mind and signed the divorce certificate they had prepared in advance.
A revolutionary couple was thus forced to divorce, but the revolutionary friendship they formed during the difficult years will always remain in their hearts. Later, the two formed separate families, and the two families maintained friend-like contacts, and every time Zhang Qilong and his wife visited Li Zhen's house
Li Zhen would shout happily: "Zhang Beard is coming, burn the dog meat quickly, take the wine and drink it!" ”
