Guo Siying was born in 1899 in Guo Jiawa House at the foot of Anlai Mountain in southwest Shucheng County, with seven brothers and sisters. When she was eight years old, four younger siblings died of illness and starvation. In order to seek a way to survive, her parents endured the pain of sending her to the Peng family in Huangtuguan as a child bride. When Guo Ying was twenty years old, he married peng Guiqing, a hard-working and simple farmer, and gave birth to two men and a girl, but the eldest son, who was more than one year old, unfortunately fell ill and died prematurely. The jackal is in charge, the people are not happy, and Guo Siying hates this dark society.
In 1930, a party group was established in Anlaishan, on the border of the Eyu-Anhui Soviet District. The party-led campaign to crack down on local tycoons and grain collection was vigorously carried out here, so that Guo Siying, a peasant woman who had suffered a tortured life, saw hope, and she began to understand the principle that if she wanted to turn herself around, she would make a revolution. In 1934, the area around Anlaishan became the base of the 246th Regiment of the Red 28th Army, the Anhui West Special Committee, and the Northwest Anhui Guerrilla Division led by Sun Zhongde, and Guo Siying consciously did something for the guerrillas and the Xiaojie Party branch at this time.
In January 1938, on the eve of the establishment of the Shucheng County Anti-Japanese Mobilization Committee, some reactionaries in the Kuomintang county government ostensibly approved of the anti-Japanese national united front, but behind the scenes they actively carried out activities, excluding and even secretly killing communists. On January 21 of the same year, several guerrillas were resting on the upper floor of Guo Siying's house, but unexpectedly, they were discovered by the sister of Zhang Haiyu, the pseudo-security chief of Tongcheng Changling, and immediately reported to the pseudo-security fourth regiment stationed in Changling.
In the early morning of February 7 of the same year, the commander of the Zhou Battalion of the Pseudo-Security Regiment and a group of people rushed to Guo Siying's house, and without seeing the shadow of the guerrillas, they lay in the house peng Guiqing, who was seriously ill, and two elderly and weak old people, in the name of "nest bandits," set off a fire and burned down the fourteen grass huts of the Peng family and the other four families in Loess Pass. Three days later, Guo Siying's husband died with hatred. Soon, the in-laws also died one after another. The ensuing misfortune made Guo Siying grief-stricken, but she was not crushed, and took her two children to settle in a grass hut and continue to do her best for the revolution.
At the end of March of that year, the fourth detachment of the New Fourth Army entered the east and west ports of Shucheng. The CPC Shutong Central County Committee and the CPC Shucheng County CPC Committee were established one after another. Party organizations propagated and mobilized the masses in Anlaishan and organized anti-Japanese mass organizations. Guo Siying actively threw himself into the anti-Japanese struggle to save the people, joined the anti-Japanese guerrilla group organized by the communist Peng Tingju, and served as a traffic officer, traveling to and from Luzhen in Shucheng, Guanzhuang in Qianshan, and Huangjia in Tongcheng, to understand the enemy's situation, deliver letters, and receive guerrillas.
In the autumn when the fragrance of dangui was wafting, Guo Siying married Xiang Shaoyin, a guerrilla and communist member of Honzhuang. The couple were like-minded and devoted themselves to the fight against Japan. Xiang Shaoyin followed his mother to the rich man Yao Zhongxia to help, and later the Yao family felt that it was inconvenient to live in Loess Pass, so they moved to Tongcheng and handed over a two-story house with a total of eight rooms to the Xiang family's mother and son. This house is located at the junction of Shucheng, Tongcheng and Qianshan counties, single-door single-family, in front of Xiaoqingxi, backed by Daqingshan, surrounded by lush grass, the environment is quite secluded, and it is also very convenient to enter and exit. Organizationally, it was decided to use this as a secret liaison station for the New Fourth Army and the guerrillas. The comrades who were active in the deep mountains and old forests often interacted with her family and regarded it as their home. Guo Siying boiled water for them to cook, washed and sewed, stood guard and sentry, and the soldiers called her "Logistics Minister"
In the winter of 1939, the Kuomintang reactionaries set off an anti-communist upsurge in the revolutionary situation deteriorating rapidly. At the end of May 1940, the CPC Shucheng County Party Committee was forced to retreat to Xiaohuangshan, ChaoXian County, where the guerrilla column operated in jiangbei, and most of the grass-roots party organizations that did not withdraw before they could be evacuated were destroyed, and the horror of the tragic killing of many outstanding party members and revolutionary masses hung over AnlaiShan. Guo Siying braved the bloody storm, became more determined in his revolutionary will, and gloriously joined the Communist Party of China.
In February 1941, after the "Anhui Southern Incident", the New Fourth Army's advance regiment returned to Dabie Mountain, and together with Yang Qiwen and three other guerrilla groups and local organizations who remained in the foothills of Dabie Mountain, they insisted on guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines. Soon, Comrade Yang Zhen led the three battalions and eight companies of the advancing regiment to AnlaiShan to open up a guerrilla base area. The enemy was so horrified by this that the puppet county magistrate Huang Xie personally led two squadrons of the Kuomintang Self-Defense Force into Anlai, built four pillboxes in Guangxindian, and carried out large-scale "liquidation and suppression" of the guerrillas.
One day in April of the same year, two squadrons of the Kuomintang went to Zhoujiachong to "clear up" the guerrillas who lived there. After the three-county liaison station learned the news, it sent Guo Siying to deliver the letter. Guo Siying was well aware of the urgency of the situation and quickly delivered the letter, so that the comrades of the guerrillas were transferred in time. Guo Siying was about to leave Zhou and rush back to Huangtuguan, when the enemy's plainclothes team had arrived. In order to lure the enemy away, she ran quickly in the opposite direction to the guerrillas, and the enemy chased after her, shouting: "Stop, you can't run!" "If you don't stop, we'll shoot!" Guo Siying did not stop.
The enemy fired, bullets grazing her ears and whizzing by, but Guo Siying still did not look back. Sheltered by mountains and trees, she hid in the woods, and finally hid in the grass more than a person deep to avoid the enemy. After listening to the enemy's chaotic footsteps disappear, she cut a path to the new garrison of the new Fourth Army guerrillas and reported the enemy situation. The troops immediately deployed an ambush on both sides of the Loess Pass, and in the evening, attacked the enemy who had returned to the stronghold.
At dawn in late May of the same year, Zhou Jiachong suddenly shot in the direction of gunfire. In order to find out the truth, the New Fourth Army Forward Regiment sent Guo Siying to reconnoiter. Disguised as Huazi, she set off and came to Zhou Chong, where she quickly learned through the masses: Because of the traitors' whistle-blowing, three pseudo-squadrons in Luzhenguan and four pseudo-security regiments set out last night, and Zheng Qicai, deputy instructor of the three major regiments of the advancing regiment who were staying in the charcoal-burning shed, surrounded by five comrades, and the five comrades fought to the death with the enemy, and finally because they were invincible, Instructor Zheng died heroically.
Guo Siying immediately returned to Huangtuguan from another road, reported the situation to the guerrillas, and the leader asked her to continue to reconnoiter the enemy's movements; she came to the small street through which the enemy would return, and when she saw the enemy sleeping there, she hid nearby to monitor the enemy, and when the enemy ate, she pretended to ask for food, and knew from the enemy's tongue that they would return to Luzhenguan in the afternoon. She immediately left the side street and returned as fast as she could, reporting to the guerrillas.
The guerrillas rearranged their activities according to what she had detected, striking the enemy once again. In the spring of 1943, Guo Siying's husband Xiang Shaoyin and six other party members were martyred for a day due to the betrayal of the traitor Peng Guixian. Afterwards, Comrade Zhang Wenming, a guerrilla cadre, came to comfort her, and she suppressed her grief and firmly said: "There is no revolution without sacrifice." Xiang Shaoyin sacrificed for the revolution, and I and my children were there. Please rest assured that no matter what the situation is, I will resolutely follow the party. ”
In the second half of 1943, the Kuomintang Guizhou army and the local reactionary self-defense regiment began to carry out a comprehensive "liquidation and suppression" of the guerrillas in the Dabie Mountains of Our Country, and the enemy troops in the Shucheng Mountains numbered 4,000 to 5,000. The enemy is outnumbered and the struggle is difficult. The enemy frantically searched the mountains and burned the mountains, and imposed an economic blockade, the life of the guerrillas was extremely difficult, and the pea paste became a very rare and superior food. Guo Siying tried every means to make grain and salt for the guerrillas, and even a little rice that he asked for rice was boiled into a thin porridge and given to the members of the team to eat.
She also took matters into her own hands and organized the masses to beat straw shoes for the soldiers and help the troops overcome difficulties. The conditions in the mountains were poor, the troops lacked medical treatment and medicine, and there was no special medical institution, so Guo Siying took the wounded and sick to his home, asked the doctor, simmered rice soup, and fried herbs. In an emergency, she carried the wounded to the mountain to hide, delivered water and food, and went back and forth, preferring to eat wild vegetables herself or save the little grain she had for the wounded. The guerrilla platoon leader suffered from typhoid fever and stayed at Guo Siying's house for medical treatment, Guo Siying designed to rescue the captured masses, Guo Siying resolutely returned to Loess Pass, the villagers escaped from danger, but she was arrested.
After the enemy captured Guo Siying, he vainly wanted to know from her the movements of our New Fourth Army and the list of underground party members. At first, they tried to soften her, sweet talk, and entertain her with good food and good food, but Guo Siying was cold to her. Two days later, the enemy threatened again with "you don't toast, don't eat and eat the penalty wine", but Guo Siying remained silent. The enemy then revealed herself and tortured her three times to extract a confession.
The enemy asked viciously, "Why do you want to be a bandit?" She angrily exclaimed, "You are the bandits! Kill, set fires, rob, you don't do anything bad! In order to eliminate you people, I will do the revolution. The enemy asked, "How did Peng Guixian die?" She smiled lightly and said, "How do I know?" The enemy said falsely: "As long as you say where the New Fourth Army and the guerrillas are, we will let you go back." She replied firmly: "Not knowing is not knowing." Kill if you want to kill, talk less nonsense. ”
The enemy inhumanely inflicted all kinds of torture on her: first hanging and stepping on the bar; then the red charcoal was sandwiched under her armpits, and the inhuman enemy also used red-hot fire tongs to pinch Off Guo Ying's right ear and burn her vagina. For three consecutive days and three nights, Guo Siying was tortured to death by them. However, the atrocities of the enemy could not shake Guo Siying's firm revolutionary convictions, and she was determined to die for the revolution. The enemy found nothing and decided to kill Guo Ying.
One day in July 1945 (Note), bandits from the Kuomintang County Security Regiment asked two peasants to carry the dying Guo Siying from Anlai Mountain to Xiaotian on stretchers. She was covered in scales, her flesh blurred, and her dry, chapped lips closed tightly. In the lower street, a kind sister-in-law saw That Guo Siying's clothes were torn, and she was very sympathetic to her, and immediately took a good set of pants and changed her. Guo Siying never showed weakness in front of the enemy, but in front of his sisters, he shed tears of emotion. That morning, Guo Siying was killed by the enemy at the age of forty-six. May the martyr Guo Siying be immortal!
