In 1950, after the "old woman with two guns" Zhao Hongwenguo was captured, he had to be shot
In 1950, a seventy-year-old woman was captured by our party in Sichuan. Her fate became the focus of everyone's attention, and at that time, *** was eager to keep her, and even pleaded with *** in person, hoping to save her life.
However, after listening to ***'s advice, ** fell into deep thought, shook his head and said: "Although she has contributed to the War of Resistance against Japan, she has also killed too many innocents, if she is not sanctioned, it is difficult for the people to be angry." The execution sentence must be carried out!”
The old woman in her mouth is actually the famous "two-gun old woman" Zhao Hongwenguo in modern history.
In many film and television works, Zhao Hongwenguo is portrayed as an anti-Japanese heroine. However, in real history, she dares to love and hate, and she can be called a heroine among women. She was full of love for her country, and during the Sino-Japanese War, her name spread all over the country.
Northeast Hero Women"Grandma Guns"At the age of 50, he joined the anti-Japanese resistance, and his prestige spread all over the Northeast.
Zhao Hongwenguo, born in 1881, is an authentic Northeast woman with an open-minded and resolute personality. After marriage, she and her husband spent happy times together and had 12 children.
In the peaceful and prosperous era, a bold and capable woman like Zhao Hongwenguo should have been the pillar of the family. However, as fate would have it, she lived in a time full of war. In that era full of military disasters, it was a blessing to be able to have food and clothing, and there was nothing else to ask for.
However, as an advanced thinker, Zhao Hongwenguo is different. She advocated that all boys in the family should study, while girls should resolutely not bind their feet, even if the family is poor, so that the children should have some cultural cultivation. Under her careful tutelage, all 12 children are smart and resilient.
In the blink of an eye, it was 1931. After the 918 Incident, the people of Northeast China were deeply oppressed by the Japanese army, and their lives were miserable. Seeing the injustice suffered by his compatriots, Zhao Hongwenguo was extremely angry, and resolutely embarked on the journey of resistance against Japan, leading several sons and daughters to join it.
First of all, she sent her third son to Mudanjiang to become a military policeman, and then led her other sons and daughters to buy guns and ammunition, build blockhouses, build city walls with the people, and actively prepare for war.
When the people saw Zhao Hongwenguo, a woman, standing up so bravely, they praised her righteous deeds. Her fame spread throughout the Northeast, and under her leadership, local elementary schools began to boycott Japanese language education and insisted on using Chinese as a medium for teaching.
At that time, Japan carried out slavery education in the three eastern provinces, with the intention of making the younger generation of Chinese submit to Japan. They started with elementary school textbooks and sent Japanese teachers to teach Japanese.
However, Zhao Hongwenguo was a visionary and was well aware of the Japanese intentions. She and her son jointly called for the resumption of Chinese language education, and through the unremitting efforts of the mother and son, the local primary school education was finally saved from the harm of Japanese language education, and Zhaojiabaozi Primary School became the leader of the anti-Japanese resistance in Northeast China.
In 1950, it was ordered that a captured person must be shot.
In 1933, the anti-Japanese wave was unstoppable. Zhao Hongwen is old, more than half a hundred years old, still full of spirit, and continues to contribute to the anti-Japanese cause with his daughter-in-law. She set up a team called the "Youth Guards", which brought together elementary school students, middle school students, and even college students, and each member of the team showed youth and courage on their faces.
This youth guard unit continued to train, and in its free time, it also actively provided intelligence to the local anti-Japanese forces. Under the encouragement of Zhao Hongwenguo, the team grew rapidly from the initial dozens of people to 500 people.
Seeing the gradual growth of the guards, Zhao Hongwenguo did not stop. She resolutely donated her personal property and printed a large number of anti-Japanese publications.
Zhao Hongwenguo himself is a person full of charisma and leadership. Under her leadership, anti-Japanese sentiment in Northeast China rose layer by layer. In self-defense, she always carried two guns with her, so she was revered as the "old woman with two guns". Although she is over half a hundred years old, her skills are extremely flexible, and ordinary people cannot easily approach her.
However, in 1934, Zhao Hongwenguo was unfortunately captured by the Japanese army. She was joined by five family members and three to four hundred people from the entire village.
In order to force Zhao Hongwenguo to submit, the cruel Japanese army adopted various means of both soft and hard, but she always stood proudly and resolutely refused to give the enemy a chance.
In the end, the enemy was helpless and had to secretly execute Zhao Hongwenguo. However, what is surprising is that at the critical moment when he is about to be executed, Zhao Hongwenguo wittily succeeded in escaping from prison.
Of course, a person of her affection will not escape alone, but risking being discovered by the enemy, desperately rescuing all the villagers.
This time, Zhao Hongwenguo became the savior in the hearts of the villagers. However, after successfully escaping, she is well aware of the impact her actions may have on her fellow villagers, and in order to protect them, she decides to leave her hometown with her family.
Because of her heroic deeds, she will win a group of supporters wherever she goes. Later, she was even summoned by Song Meiling. This patriotic old lady was supposed to be respected, but in the end she was shot and executed.
It turned out that at that time, both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party hoped to win the old lady to join their team. Under the lure of the national authorities, the old lady finally chose to side with the national authorities.
The old lady's son enlisted in the Eighth Route Army, but due to his mother's fame, he gradually became arrogant, had no respect for the discipline of the troops, and even had several clashes with the troops.
After learning what happened to her son, the old lady was full of hatred for our party, and in a KMT-CCP negotiation, she directly killed several cadres of our army with strong hostility. Such a move has undoubtedly aroused great dissatisfaction with our party.
During the War of Liberation, an old lady often opposed our party, and even formed a large contingent of bandits in the southwest region, which often interfered with our party's liberation plan. Although the old lady had made contributions to the country before this, these actions in her later years actually damaged the feelings of our party and brought endless hidden dangers to the local people.
As a last resort, the party organization ordered the old woman with two guns to be captured alive. To be honest, the whole process of arrest was relatively smooth, and in 1950, in Mianzhu, Sichuan, the old woman with two guns was finally caught. Thus, the question of her whereabouts and stay gives rise to the scene described at the beginning of the article.
And it turned out to be a very wise decision. With the end of the life of the old woman with two guns, the problem of banditry in the southwest was completely solved. However, the judgment of the merits and demerits of the old woman with two guns in her life can only be left to future generations to judge.
