Zou Yinglan, the goddess gunner of the blood-stained Bashan

"In the middle of the night, I hope for the dawn, the cold winter moon, the spring breeze, if you want the Red Army to come, the mountains are full of Yo Yingshan Red..." Whenever the song of "Yingshan Red" sounds, we can't help but think of the heroic deeds of Zou Yinglan, the female Red Army of Bashan Mountain.

Hunting is good at practicing marksmanship

Participated in the Red Army's carved stone markers

According to the staff of the Municipal Archives, Zou Yinglan, who was born on the third day of the third lunar month in 1915, was originally named Zou Dingchao, known as "Yinglanzi". His father, Zou Guolin, who originally lived in Wanyuan Yudai Township, was hanged by raiders and hanged after organizing sharecroppers to refuse to pay harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and fled to Shiwo Township with his family members overnight to survive by renting the land of the landlord. Zou Dingchao followed her parents to work in the fields since she was a child, and her father was particularly fond of her, often taking her up the mountain to hunt, teaching her to shoot guns, and gradually practicing good marksmanship.

In 1932, the Red Fourth Front withdrew from the Eyu-Anhui base area, galloped thousands of miles, crossed the Bashan Mountains, and arrived at the mouth of the Tongjiang River on December 18, and then divided its troops to attack. On February 17, 1933, the 28th Regiment of the 10th Division of the Red Fourth Front came from Tongjiang via Weijiachang to Liangyazi, Shiwochang. Zou Dingchao and several sisters Zou Dinglian, Zhang Xian'e, and Li Taifu were digging wild vegetables here, and several sisters stood on the side of the road of Dashi and watched the Red Army pass by one in front of them. Zou Dingchao pointed to the team and said, "Look, there are also female Red Army!" The female Red Army wore straw shoes on her feet, wrapped around her leggings, belts around her waist, some carried sabers, some tied pistols around her waist, and wore an octagonal five-star hat on her head, with a smile on her face, and waved to Zou Ding to several of their girls.

On October 16, the Red Fourth Front occupied Shiwochang. Hearing that the Red Army had come to Shiwochang, Zou Ding was dragging his father to see the Red Army. The next day, Zou Guolin, Zou Dingchao, and three others walked straight to PigShi Street, where the Red Army Headquarters was stationed on Shiwo Street. When a young officer learned that they were coming to join the Red Army, he hurriedly asked the regimental clerk to register their names one by one on the roster, and the two female Reds brought them boiling water and dragged them to the backyard patio to eat.

Zou Dingchao did not know how happy he was when he returned home, and went to the east and west of the house, saying that the Red Army was the army of the poor and the great savior of the poor. Soon, Shiwo established township and district soviets, and Zou Guolin successively became chairman of the township and district soviets and the leader of the red army guerrilla brigade. Zou Dingchao also became a propagandist. She led a team of slogan engravers to engrave many stone inscriptions on the rocks around the stone nest and the river mouth, which became a powerful weapon to boost the morale of the army and the people and strike at the enemy. She was known as the orchid in the mountains, and everyone called her "YingLanzi". Since then, whether in the ranks of the Red Army or among the common people, Zou Yinglan's name has replaced Zou Dingchao.

The target shooting competition was awarded

Propaganda meritorious service to the party is honorable

The commander of the Red Army Zhao Battalion was seriously wounded in the battle, and was admitted to the Shiwo District Soviet Hospital, where he had been unconscious for 3 days. Zou Yinglan, who was nursing the wounded in the hospital, was so anxious that she ventured into the enemy regimental headquarters hospital alone and found her cousin Ma Jingxian, who was a medical officer, to explain her intentions, hoping that he would understand the great righteousness and treat the wounds of the Red Army commander Zhao. Ma Borrowed his mother, who was critically ill at home, took the medicine box and equipment, disguised as a local doctor, and went to the stone nest, not only saving Zhao Yingchang, but also rescuing a group of red army wounded.

In March 1934, the Red Army captured LuchengZhai in Xuanhan County and eliminated a brigade of Liu Xiang. The warlord Wang Lingji was not convinced, mobilized his men and horses, and prepared to counterattack the Red Army. Commander-in-Chief Xu Xiangqian seized the opportunity of the gap between the pre-war periods and held a shooting contest for cadres at and above the company level of the whole army at the lime well of the Wanyuan Temple Yachang.

On the 21st, the sky was blue, the mountain flowers around the lime well were particularly fragrant, and the crisp sound of target shooting broke the silence of the mountain. Suddenly, a girl ran from the mouth of the mountain, and her footsteps were like dense drums, running straight to the shooting range. The guard warrior Xiao Wang stopped her and said, "There is a target in front of you, you can't go!" "The girl said she was a Red Guard, and she wanted to participate in the target shooting!" The two argued.

At this time, Xu Qianqian walked to the girl's side, looked at her carefully for a while, smiled at her, personally handed the gun in the hands of a company commander to the girl, and said in front of everyone: "Just let her try it!" Everyone thought that the girl was going to play "burnt cakes" out of the ocean. Only to see the "ding, ding, ding" on the shooting range fired three shots in a row, the small flag of the target reporter waved, the report hit a total of 30 rings, the applause of the whole audience was endless for a long time, Xu Xiangqian was even more happy, took the girl's hand, and asked kindly: "What is your name?" The girl snapped a straight stand, and then replied: "Report Chief, my name is Zou Yinglan, and everyone calls me Yinglanzi, a female Red Guard." Xu Xiangqian praised with great satisfaction: "Your marksmanship is very good, you are our sharpshooter girl in the Sichuan-Shaanxi Su District!" Suddenly there was a burst of applause, and the slogan "Learn from the sharpshooter girl" shook the valley. Xu Xiangqian pointed to the gun in Zou Yinglan's hand and said, "This gun is given to you!" There was another round of applause on the range.

Zou Yinglan ran to the location of Shiwo Township with a gun and a cigarette, found his father and said, "Father, what do you think this is?" "Dad was overjoyed to see the gun. He took the gun and looked at it repeatedly, asking, "Where did this come from?" Yinglan smiled and told her father that she participated in the target shooting competition at the temple, and Xu Xiangqian praised her as a sharpshooter girl, rewarding this gun. The father listened to his daughter's story and praised her for her presence. Yinglan said, "Now I can go and become a Red Army." "Then you go, to fight for the poor."

Zou Yinglan was ready to go to the front, but the organization informed her to go to the Hongsheng County Soviet to become a women's commissar. Zou Yinglan came to Wanyuan Luowenba, where the Su District of Hongsheng County is located, and immediately put into the work of serving the frontline. The superiors decided that Zou Yinglan would lead a propaganda team to the position to give propaganda to the enemy soldiers.

Zou Yinglan and the propaganda team members were not afraid, and took turns shouting to the other side of the river. "Brothers and white soldiers, you are poor, don't fight for the rich, the Red Army is an army that seeks happiness for the poor, you don't want your own family to beat your own family..." The enemy soldier on the other side heard the voice of a young woman, did not release the gun, but shouted strangely: "Female doll, stand up, see what it looks like, we will not release the gun." In order to disintegrate the enemy, Zou Yinglan decided to stand out, but where the sisters were willing, they all said: "This is the enemy's trick, and it is impossible to go!" She said: "What are you afraid of, propaganda should pay attention to results, if the enemy shoots me with one shot, you take the microphone and continue to publicize." As soon as the words stopped, Zou Yinglan bent down and walked toward the river.

No one in the enemy expected that there would be a female Red Army coming toward the river. Only to see this woman straighten her chest, pull up her sharp voice and shout: "Brothers of the White Army, don't shoot, it doesn't matter if you kill me, but it's a pity that you can't hear the policies of the Red Army!" "The enemy saw that the female Red Army was unarmed, and second, they wanted to hear what she had to say, so they did not release their guns. Zou Yinglan let go of her voice and continued to shout, her good eloquence, and the white soldiers nodded darkly.

Within a few days, a platoon of White soldiers had been thrown into the Red Army. Ask them why they surrendered? They said: "The policy of the Red Army is good. "Ask how they know?" They said, "You have a great female propagandist, and only after listening to her propaganda can we understand the Red Army and your policies." ”

Zou Yinglan worked actively, struggled bravely, completed no matter what task he did, and was deeply supported by everyone. Soon after, she honorably joined the Communist Party of China and was elected as the women's minister of Hongsheng County.

Be brave as a guide to slay the "earth dragon"

Unyielding in the pursuit of youth

In April 1934, the anti-"Six-Way Siege" battle became more and more intense, and the Red Army tightened its positions and came to Gaobi Village near Wanyuan Shiwo to defend it. A long beam under the high-nosed village, winding for 10 miles, is like a long dragon, so it is called "Earth Dragon Field". On both sides of this place are steep and steep overhanging rocks, and the terrain is very dangerous. The enemy was condescending and echoed from beginning to end, which was the obstacle for the Red Army to attack. After inspecting the position, Xu Shiyou, deputy commander of the Red Ninth Army and commander of the Twenty-fifth Division, decided to "cut off the earth dragon from the waist" and directly attack the enemy's headquarters. But how can this battle plan be realized? Xu Shiyou pondered repeatedly.

On this day, Zou Yinglan led the team to the high-nosed village to comfort the Red Army. Standing at the top of the village, Xu Shiyou pointed to the "earth dragon" and asked Zou Yinglan: "Is there a small road in the middle?" Zou Yinglan replied, "Yes." "Can you find a good guide?" Zou Yinglan stood up straight: "Report Chief, I am familiar with the terrain here, and I am a good guide." Xu Shiyou looked at it, a weak woman, how could he let her lead the way? Zou Yinglan saw the chief's doubts: "Chief, please rest assured, I see that the waist beheading of the earth dragon will be killed from the li family tomb and the Ma family camp, and if there are a few teams of elite soldiers with me, overnight, I can succeed." She saw that Master Xu was half-convinced, and immediately said: "Chief, I am a local, since I was a child, I have been herding cattle and cutting grass in this area, hunting and collecting firewood, and the grass on every road can recognize me..." Master Xu listened and immediately decided: "Then you will lead the way, and the sun will go down." ”

In the night, Zou Yinglan packed up and stopped, stepped into the gun at his waist, held a red tassel gun with an upside-down iron hook in his right hand, and hung a thick hemp rope on his left shoulder, leading several teams of elite soldiers down to the bottom of the ditch, and then quietly climbing up the cliffs along several paths of Li Jia Tomb and Ma Jia Ying. After the Red Army arrived, it saw Zou Yinglan smash the hemp rope and the red tassel gun, and suddenly raised a red flag high and rushed straight to the enemy's position, followed by elite soldiers closely following. Suddenly, three gunshots rang out, and Xu Shiyou on the high-nosed village gave the order to attack together. In the battle, Zou Yinglan fired a hundred shots, killed more than ten enemies, and captured three pistols. Suddenly, this "earth dragon" was cut into several pieces, and the head and tail could not take care of each other, and the enemy had to scramble for their lives. After the battle, Xu Shiyou praised Zou Yinglan as "a good guide for the Red Army." ”

In October 1934, the Red Guards and vigilantes fought fiercely at nitrodong across the estuary field, and finally broke through the nitrodong. In order to prevent the absconding enemy district commander Zhang Minglang and others from fighting back and rescuing people, the Red Guards decided to send the captured more than 30 landlord bullies and the backbone leaders of the militia to the Red Army garrison in two ways. Zou Yinglan was responsible for escorting more than 10 backbone members of the militia to Weijiachang via ShiwoChang and CaobaChang. While passing through Caoba Wang Chengzi, he encountered more than 10 militia armed groups led by Zhang Ziyi, the leader of the enemy militia regiment. Zou Yinglan did not panic at all, calmly and calmly commanded the Red Guards to fight back heroically. Zou Yinglan raised his gun to return fire, five bullets killed five enemies, and Zhang Ziyi fled in panic.

In March 1935, the Red Fourth Front began to withdraw from the Sichuan-Shaanxi Soviet Region. Zou Yinglan, together with the propaganda team and the comrades of the Shiwo District CPC Committee, prepared to leave the base area with the Red Army after doing the aftermath before the retreat. Unexpectedly, the enemy's homecoming group soon rushed to the scene, and Zou Yinglan and her father were unfortunately both arrested.

The enemy took Zou Yinglan to interrogation and asked her where was the roster of the Red Army guerrillas? She replied, "I don't know." Asked to hand over the roster of Communists, she replied, "I don't know." Asked where the gold and silver in the Soviet collection were, she still said, "I don't know." The enemy hung and tortured her with a bamboo stick from her hand, but from her mouth there were still three words"I don't know. "The enemy could not do anything with her, so he threatened her with death." The enemy brought two Red Guards and shot them in front of Yinglan. Zhang Ziyuan, the leader of the militia, asked viciously: "Zou Yinglan, do you surrender or not?" If you don't surrender, these two are your ends! Zou Yinglan snorted from his nose and ignored him again.

At dawn the next day, Zou Yinglan was escorted by the enemy to the hanging rock of Guzhaiping, and the leader of the militia continued to threaten and induce, but Zou Yinglan was indomitable and scolded the enemy's righteousness. Bang! Bang! Bang! With several gunshots, Zou Yinglan, who was only 20 years old, fell. On the big rock of Guzhaiping, Zou Yinglan's blood spilled on the red of Yingshan on the edge of the rock...
