They were the first female soldiers of our army and participated in the Nanchang Uprising. One of them saved Chen Geng.
1927, 1 In August, the Nanchang Uprising led by Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, He Long, Nie and others broke out, which was the beginning of China's * * * independent resistance to the * * rebel armed uprising. At that time, the insurgents were called the Second Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and the whole army had more than 23,000 people. When it comes to the August 1st Nanchang Uprising, people will naturally think of the bloody men who took part in the Uprising. In fact, there were not only male soldiers but also a group of female soldiers in the uprising army at that time, and these female soldiers were discovered by accident. 1957, the preparatory work for Nanchang Bayi Uprising Memorial Hall lacked some valuable historical materials and cultural relics. At this time, someone in the preparatory group saw a memoir in a publication. The author of the article is actually a female soldier who participated in the Nanchang Uprising. The staff immediately rushed to Beijing and found this female soldier named Hu. Through Hu's introduction, the staff found other female soldiers in succession. According to the recollection of female soldiers, most of them were students of Wuhan Central Military and Political School (the sixth phase of Huangpu Military Academy), and a few were students of a women's training class founded by Liao's wife He Xiangning. 1April 927 12, Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12th" counter-revolutionary coup, followed by Wang Jingwei in Wuhan. As a result, female students of Wuhan Central Military and Political School left school one after another, and some of them followed Ye Ting and He Long's troops to Nanchang and took part in the subsequent uprising. These female students can be regarded as the first female soldiers of the People's Army. According to the First Military History of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army, there were 30 female soldiers at that time, and they were very enthusiastic about participating in the war. Party organizations assign them jobs according to their majors. When the insurgents went south, three were assigned to the Staff Committee for communication or confidential work, and the remaining 27 were assigned to Ye Ting 1 1 Army, He Long 20 Army and Zhu De 9 Army for propaganda or rescue work. Whether marching or fighting, the female soldiers showed great courage, and the heads of the troops all looked at them with new eyes. Zhou Enlai once praised the female soldiers: "Female generals, you have performed very well, being brave and persevering. When we gain a firm foothold in Guangdong, we will send you to the Soviet Union for further study, specializing in military affairs. Among these 30 female soldiers, Wang, Yang Qinglan, Tan Qinxian and Chen Juewu are called "Four donkey kong" because of their strong physique and heroic performance. Among them, Yang Qinglan, 17 years old, was asked by the organization to be responsible for propaganda work, writing slogans and putting up slogans, and she also saved Chen Geng's life. It turned out that in the process of troops going south, the uprising troops fought fiercely with the enemy's Qian Dajun department in Huichang on August 30th 1927. The insurgents suffered heavy losses, and a large number of people needed treatment. The medical staff embedded in the army were simply not enough. Therefore, Yang Qinglan, who decided to be responsible for publicity, was temporarily assigned to the front line as an ambulance. When passing through a paddy field on the battlefield, Yang Qinglan vaguely saw a man lying in a thatched ditch. She walked over and saw a man in vest and shorts lying unconscious in the grass, his left leg was shot in two places, his kneecap and ankle were broken, and the water in the furrow was red with blood. Yang Qinglan has no time to think about it. She picked up the badly injured man and hurried down the hill. Sweat soaked Yang Qinglan's clothes, but she gritted her teeth and tried her best to finally send the seriously injured to the medical center. Later, everyone realized that the seriously injured patient was actually Chen Geng, the battalion commander of 2nd Battalion, 6th Regiment, 3rd Division, 20th Army. Many years later, when Chen Geng and Yang Qinglan meet again, they will always mention Yang Qinglan's saving his life. They have always maintained a profound revolutionary friendship. Among the 30 female soldiers, there is also a female soldier named Peng who gave up the opportunity to study abroad to participate in the uprising. They are Peng Yilan and Peng Yuanhua. At that time, after their identity was exposed in Wuhan, the party organization decided to send them to study in the Soviet Union the next day. Because Wuhan was temporarily closed to Shanghai, they went to Jiujiang first, and then from Jiujiang to Shanghai. After the ship arrived in Jiujiang, they suddenly found that many military school leaders and women's team students were going to Nanchang. Out of revolutionary enthusiasm, they resolutely gave up the opportunity to go to the Soviet Union and arrived in Nanchang with the troops. After arriving in Nanchang, they were assigned to the former enemy committee led by Zhou Enlai to take part in the preparatory work before the uprising, write slogans and serve as communication contacts. After the failure of the Nanchang Uprising, Peng Yuanhua reorganized his army in Sanheba Zhu De. Because of the harsh environment and difficult conditions, Zhu De decided to let the female soldiers leave the army. When the troops arrived in Xintian Village, Xinfeng County, Jiangxi Province, Zhu De talked to Peng Yuanhua: "Comrade Yuan Hua, the troops are going to go up the mountain to reorganize the team and mobilize unarmed comrades to leave the team, but everyone is unwilling to leave the team. You are the secretary of the ambulance service department. Are you willing to take the lead? " Peng Yuanhua doesn't want to leave either. Zhu De added, "It is very close to the Ganjiang River, and the transportation is convenient. It will become more and more inconvenient to walk in the future." He taught, "Where there is a party organization, there is a revolution!" After hearing this, Peng Yuanhua took the lead in signing up to leave the team, and then the female soldiers left the team one after another. In Yilan Peng, most of the female soldiers who contributed to the Nanchang Uprising on August 1st were mobilized by Party organizations and moved to local areas to continue to shed blood for the revolutionary cause. Natural selection: Women need men. Under the leadership of China, women were liberated and made outstanding contributions to the revolutionary cause in China. Their glorious deeds are always worth learning and publicizing. "Miscellaneous Talk on Natural Selection" was written by Zhang Faqi, a faculty member of National Defense University. Zhang served as platoon leader, company commander, deputy director and staff officer of the military region, and later transferred to the National Defense University to teach, mainly engaged in military history research. Natural selection gossip video has been launched. It is a good habit to pay attention to it. You can see my articles and videos at the first time and express your opinions.
