There is a saying called "War Makes Women Go Away". It means that war is too cruel and women are not suitable. However, in the Chinese revolution, a large number of women participated in the revolutionary war and withstood the test of the brutal war.
Liu Jing, the wife of General Wang Zhaoxiang, was also one of them.
Wang Zhaoxiang and his wife Liu Jing, both shenmu people from Shaanxi Province, both came to Shandong during the War of Resistance. Wang Zhaoxiang was the commander of the Second Military Subdistrict of the Luzhong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, and Liu Jing served as an acting instructor at the headquarters.
In early 1941, the Japanese army carried out a "sweep" of Yimeng Mountain, encircling the troops and organs of the Second Division. Wang Zhaoxiang and political commissar Wang Yiping decided to avoid the enemy's attack, disperse and transfer, and wait for the opportunity to break through, especially the female comrades, and all stay in the local area to hide, and then return to the troops after the situation improves. Wang Yiping said to Wang Zhaoxiang: "Liu Jing wants to stay, do you go to talk or I go?" ”
Wang Zhaoxiang said: "Of course, it is your political commissar, and I personally obey the organization." ”
Commissar Wang went to find Liu Jing. Liu Jing naturally did not want to leave. But Wang Yiping said the decision of the organization, and she only had one sentence: "Obey the decision of the organization." ”
Taking advantage of the dusk, Liu Jing and two other female comrades set off.
But not far away, they encountered Japanese machine gun strafing, quickly lay down, listened, found that the enemy was blindly strafing, so they continued to move forward, and then encountered the divisional independent regiment, so they followed them. Walking to a village on the edge of the mountain, gunshots suddenly sounded, and the independent regiment immediately returned fire. The enemy and I mixed together to rush to kill. Liu Jing and the other two female comrades ran away.
She ran fast down the ditch, and suddenly felt numbness in her left leg, and touched it with her hand, hot, and injured. She immediately unbuttoned her leggings and wrapped the wound around it. At this time, the nearby compatriots ran around and shouted, "The devil is coming!" Liu Jing couldn't run anymore, looked at it, there was a stone cliff crack nearby, and immediately squeezed his body into it. But the cliff cracks are shallow and small, and the legs and feet are still exposed. She was in a hurry when suddenly someone put a stone in front of her feet. Looking back, it was a fellow countryman.
The fellow nodded to her and left in a hurry.
Above the crevice of the cliff where she was hiding was a road against the cliff. During the day, the Japanese kept walking overhead, and did not go far after dark, lighting a bunch of bonfires around them. She hid for a day, thirsty and hungry, and crept out of the crevice of the cliff and began to move. Without climbing far, the devils began to search the mountain again. Just as there was a well in front of her, she jumped down desperately. The well water is less than one person deep. Although she drank a few sips of water, she grabbed the wall of the well and hid it.
I don't know how long later, she heard a noise above the well in her confusion. It turned out that an old man had come to fetch water. She immediately grabbed the bucket that had been put down, startling the old man. Liu Jinghuan said, "Don't be afraid old uncle, I am the Eighth Route Army." The old man said, "There are enemies in the village!" "Just go.
Liu Jing waited for a meal, the old man still did not come, and when he was in a hurry, he led a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl to come, put the bucket down the well, and shouted softly: "Pull the bucket!" ”
Liu Jing grabbed the bucket. It took the father and daughter a lot of effort to pull her out. The old man said, "The enemy is gone now." ”
Liu Jing entered his room, and the old lady found a dry dress: "Comrade, you can change into it!" After Liu Jing changed her clothes, the eldest lady brought the hot mung bean porridge to her and handed her a piece of sweet potato pancake. Liu Jing was also not polite, and immediately ate it, and the old master said: "Listening to your accent is not a local, is it the Red Army from Shaanxi?"
Liu Jing said: "I am a native of northern Shaanxi and a Member of the Red Army. ”
The old man paused for a moment and said, "It's not that I don't leave you, the devils search every day, it's too dangerous here." I see you still go up to zhaizi mountain and hide. ”
Liu Jing said, "Okay. The old lady said: "It is not convenient for women to go anywhere, so you can simply dress up as a man." ”
So, the old lady cut her short hair, found a felt hat for her to wear, afraid that she would give her a jacket in the cold, and wrapped a bag of sweet potato plugs for her. Under the leadership of the old master, Liu Jing went up to Zhaizi Mountain.
The village mountain was very high, and after she separated from the old master, she endured the pain and climbed up from dark until the next day when the east was about to dawn.
In order not to expose the northern Shaanxi accent, she pretended to be a dumb beggar.
One day, she came to the door of a fellow villager, a woman and a child were boiling sorghum batter, and she compared it to order food. The woman said, give you some, but you don't have a bowl how to hold it? When she saw a broken bowl in the courtyard for feeding chickens, she immediately picked it up and wiped it with her sleeve. The woman gave her a paste. She drank it in two sips, and when she wanted to order it, the fellow suddenly shouted, "The devil is coming." She threw down the bowl and ran up the hill.
God was against her. Soon, it began to snow heavily. Her feet were inflamed again, frozen and swollen like buns, and sometimes as soon as she stood up, thick blood flowed down her legs. Hunger, cold, and pain tormented her so much that she could not stand still, could not walk, but had to go into the village every day to ask for food.
One day, she turned to a small mountain bag and saw a twelve- or thirteen-year-old child herding sheep. The boy saw her turning, so thin, like a wounded person, and immediately said, "You must be an eight-wayer." ”
Liu Jing said busily, "I am not. ”
The child said that he was a servant of the Yishui Prefectural Committee and said, "Now many people from the yamashita village government have defected." You also have to pay attention, don't go down the mountain, you believe me, I am telling the truth. ”
Liu Jing said: "I believe you, as long as you know, don't tell others." ”
The little attendant said, "Well, don't go down the mountain, help me herd the sheep, and I'll go get you food!" ”
In this way, every day, Liu Jing herded sheep on the mountain, and the small attendant helped her get food, and constantly inquired about the situation under the mountain.
Once, he came up the mountain carrying a meal and suddenly asked Liu Jing, "Are you Commander Wang's lover?"
Liu Jing began to be stunned, and then said: "What nonsense are you talking about, I am not yet 20 years old, I am not married, where is the lover!" I'm a man! ”
The little attendant said, "Some people came down from the mountain and said that they were looking for Commander Wang's lover, you are so beautiful, I see you like." ”
Liu Jingzhen admired this little clever ghost, and seeing that he had recognized himself as a woman, he had to say ambiguously: "Don't guess, go down the mountain and inquire about which part of the person is coming." Whoever leads the team, come back and tell me. ”
The little attendant "good" and left.
The next day, as soon as he went up the mountain, he said to Liu Jing: "The people who came were from the Yishui County Brigade, and there were also the guards of Commander Wang, and the lover who could not find the commander was crying in a hurry." Yesterday you didn't admit it, and I didn't dare tell them. ”
Liu Jing was very excited to hear this, but she still didn't believe that it was true, and tentatively asked, "Is what you said true or false?"
The little attendant said solemnly, "Look, you still don't believe me!" ”
His sincerity touched Liu Jing, so he said, "You take me down the mountain." "Follow the little attendant down the hill.
When entering the village, Liu Jing asked the small attendant to go to the village to join the joint. Then, hiding in a broken grass hut outside the village, she put her pistol on top of the fire, ready for an accident. After a while, the small attendant led several people to come, and when they approached, Liu Jing looked at it, and the one wearing the robe was Li Guanzhi, the captain of the Yishui County Brigade, and behind him was Wang Zhaoxiang's guard Zhang Xiucheng, who suddenly pounced on him and shouted: "I can see you!" ”
Li Guanzhi and Zhang Xiu pretended to see Liu Jing so thin and injured so badly, they both cried, and then they had people find a chair, tied it into a simple sliding pole, and together with the guards, carried Liu Jing back to the army.
Wang Zhao, seeing his long-departed lover, said guiltily, "I'm really sorry for you!" ”
After the founding of New China, Liu Jing was appointed as a full-fledged cadre.
