There was a very special unit in the revolutionary ranks, most of which consisted of women, and they had a very domineering name, the "Red Detachment of Women." In this unit, the female warriors showed the world the truth of not letting their eyebrows be shaved with perseverance and bravery, and with their outstanding military achievements, the Women's Army was also famous in history. In 1942, a woman hiding in the mountains was killed by the Japanese army, and the first company commander of the Red Women's Army fell.
The female company commander, Pang Qionghua, was born in 1911 to a peasant family in Yangjiang Town, Guangdong Province. At the age of 16, her brother took part in the first agrarian revolutionary struggle, and she was deeply influenced by revolutionary ideas and joined the Young Pioneers. After just three years, Pang Qionghua officially joined the Red Army and became one of the few female fighters in the army. In one battle after another, Pang Qionghua fully demonstrated the unique charm of female soldiers, she is not only bold and careful, but also courageous and strategic, and has made many achievements on the battlefield.
On March 26, 1931, Pang Qionghua became the first company commander of the "Red Women's Army" amid the cheers of the crowd, which also declared that this special army had embarked on the stage of history. In the ambush battle of Shamaoling, Pang Qionghua led the whole year's soldiers to Wanning County, creating the illusion of an expedition of all the company's soldiers, making the enemy think that the Red Army was going to attack Wanning County. However, in fact, Pang Qionghua let all the soldiers hide in the deep mountains and old forests, and only sent a small force to lead the enemy into the encirclement step by step. In the end, the battle achieved a considerable victory, the Women's Army captured 146 enemy long and short guns and dozens of tons of rice and other materials, and through this battle, the Women's Army completely made a name for itself, so that other fraternal troops and the enemy no longer dared to underestimate.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Pang Qionghua led the Lady Scout Army to the south and the north and actively fought against the Japanese army. However, in one battle, the Lady Scout Army was heavily surrounded by enemy troops, and Pang Qionghua left a broken queen to cover the retreat of the troops. At that time, a Japanese officer took a fancy to the young and beautiful Pang Qionghua and wanted to possess it and use it to induce her to surrender. However, Pang Qionghua never gave in, and she hid dozens of miles away from the mountains, but later she was found by the Japanese army and eventually died under the gunpoint of the enemy. With the fall of Pang Qionghua, the first company commander of the Red Women's Scout Army also came to an end.
