The Japanese army learned that the Zhao family was the center of the juvenile iron blood army, and all the houses of Zhao family 16 were burned down, and the property accumulated in the past 30 years was destroyed. However, Mrs. Zhao did not give in. In March of the same year, she bought a printing machine in Dagushan and other places, organized students to print anti-Japanese propaganda materials in Zhaojiabaozi Primary School she organized, and then sneaked into Fengcheng, Xiuyan, Zhuanghe and Gushan counties with her daughter-in-law Quan Wang.

1In August, 934, the Japanese invaders raided Zhaojiabaozi again, and put Mrs. Zhao's family of six into prison, implicating more than 300 villagers in Zhao's family. In the face of threats and inducements from the Japanese invaders, Mrs. Zhao remained steadfast and unyielding. Two months later, the enemy was helpless and reported to the Kwantung Army Command for secret execution. Before the execution, Mrs. Zhao was tactfully released on parole with the cooperation of the bloody soldiers and rescued the villagers. Later, I asked the old lady to sneak into Beiping with her elderly husband and young children. With the help of the Northeast National Salvation Association, I raised my arms, contacted the anti-Japanese volunteers, and supported the Young Iron Blood Army. Mrs. Zhao went south to Wuhan to promote anti-Japanese, and at the same time to win arms support from all walks of life in the rear. At the same time, she led the northeast youth and two daughters to Taihang Mountain in Henan Province to open up a new anti-Japanese base area and establish an anti-Japanese recovery army. At that time, tens of thousands of people in Taihang Mountain responded. After reorganization, Mrs. Zhao sent an advance team of the Guangfu Army to the north, ready to get through the enemy's rear passage, and contacted the Hebei National Anti-Japanese Army and the Northeast Juvenile Iron and Blood Army to form a guerrilla warfare line behind the enemy line running through the north and south.

During the extraordinary period of "defending Great Wuhan", Mrs. Zhao published "Several Opinions on the Current Situation", which encouraged the whole nation to fight for the recovery of the country and attracted attention at home and abroad. Internationally renowned journalists, Epstein and members of the anti-war alliance interviewed Guo many times, took photos as souvenirs, published articles many times, publicized Mrs. Zhao to the international anti-fascist camp and introduced her anti-war deeds. The People's War, published by Epstein in 199 1, once again reveals the history that Zhao Hongwen bought arms for guerrillas and General Zhao Dong set up anti-Japanese guerrillas in Hebei. Mrs. Zhao was invited to Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Nanyang to engage in anti-Japanese propaganda and fund-raising activities. She was warmly welcomed by famous patriotic industrialists and other overseas Chinese in South Asia, and raised huge amounts of money and materials for the anti-Japanese war. In Hongkong, we organized a torch tour with famous women such as Soong Ching Ling and He Xiangning to publicize the war of resistance against Japan, which aroused the patriotic enthusiasm of overseas Chinese. The scene is spectacular and touching.

In recognition of Mrs. Zhao's contribution to the establishment of anti-Japanese guerrillas, the National Government honored her as "the mother of guerrillas". A newspaper wrote that Chiang Kai-shek took a photo with Mrs. Zhao with two guns pinned to her waist and became sworn brothers and sisters. Mrs. Jiang published an article on Women's Day on March 8, calling Mrs. Zhao a "national model for women" and a "national mother" and comparing her to her mother-in-law. Famous women such as Soong Ching Ling, He Xiangning, Zhu Guangzhen and Shi Liang also wrote inscriptions praising Mrs. Zhao as a "model among women" and "Mother teaches saving the country." "Mrs. Zhao's indomitable spirit of resisting the enemy is the pioneer in seeking the free and equal status of the Chinese National Liberation Avenue."

General Feng Yuxiang and Mrs. Zhao became close friends, praising her as a "heroine among women" and "heroic words, it is a shame to die." Mr. Tao Xingzhi, a patriot, and Ms. Bing Xin, a famous writer, wrote a book "Old Lady Zhao" and wrote a poem praising: "The genie comes from the East and the old lady comes from China. The old lady caught the monster, and the monster was frightened! Speaking of Mrs. Zhao, who doesn't admire her? If China wants to be good, he must learn from Mrs. Zhao! " Mao Dun, a famous writer, said with emotion on the banner presented to Mrs. Zhao: "She is a typical virtuous mother in new China and a mentor and friend of new women in new China. Young people who indulge in pleasure should die of shame. " A famous jurist, Mr. Huang Youchang, wrote a poem in "Letter to Mother Zhao": "The hero of the Yellow River, three Wan Li, is famous throughout the ages. Hearing the wind can make a coward stand, and the whip is fierce during the construction period. " Jin Zhonghua, a friend of internationally renowned journalist and critic Soong Ching Ling, said: "After listening to the story of Mrs. Zhao told by Mr. Si Nuo, it was reported that an old woman broke through the enemy's heavy cordon and a middle school student was leading a guerrilla. I think this is a myth. Seeing Mrs. Zhao going south, I went to Sing Tao Daily and boarded the six-story platform. I believe in this reality. Mrs Zhao and Zhao Dong marked a new stage of our long-term guerrilla war of resistance against Japan. I hope. We wish mother Zhao until the final victory of the Anti-Japanese War. " On the way to the north, Zhao Dong was suddenly attacked and killed in Chen Zhuang, the junction of Xinfu and Lingshou counties in Hebei Province. He was only 28 years old and was posthumously awarded the rank of lieutenant general by the government. At the same time, Mrs Zhao's third daughter, Ye Zhao, who was only 20 years old, died. She had a narrow escape in the anti-Japanese battlefield, and was praised as a young heroine, which caused a sensation in three towns in Wuhan.

In extreme grief, Mrs. Zhao still traveled all over Sichuan 100 cities and counties. In order to completely put an end to the bad habit of forced conscription and forced recruitment, she won the honor and treatment from the government for applying for the anti-Japanese youth, called on the government to pay attention to caring for the martyrs of the anti-Japanese army, and set off a patriotic movement to care for the martyrs of the army from the bottom up. They also sent their children and surviving comrades-in-arms to military academies for training to prepare for the reorganization of the old anti-Japanese headquarters in Northeast China and North China to continue the war of resistance. Mrs. Zhao went south again from Beiping, and was entrusted by Chiang Kai-shek to organize the appeasement column of the second guerrilla road in the Hebei-hot-Liaoning border region. The fourth son, Zhao Lianzhong, was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief, stopped in Chongqing and took the post of "Left-behind Presidential Office". Planning an uprising against grain expropriation, putting forward slogans such as "drive away the producers' party and refuse grain for three years", establishing guerrilla zones in mainland China, resisting the PLA's entry into Sichuan, stopping the uprising of the 16th Kuomintang Corps, shooting the PLA negotiators, and besieging and occupying Wenjiang, Chongqing, Pixian, Jintang, Xindu and Xiushan in eastern Sichuan. 1950 In February, Mrs. Zhao was arrested and refused to surrender, thinking that the People's Liberation Army "lit a lamp to stir the fire and seduce loyal ministers. "Zhou Enlai pleaded for him and avoided his death, but the military judicial department of the Southwest Military Region still sentenced him to death at the age of 70. War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's fourth surviving son, Zhao Lianzhong, was also executed at the age of 25, and his wife and children were released under the personal instructions of Mao Zedong.

Mrs. Zhao and General Zhao Dong's family, starting from the formation of the Young Iron Blood Army, destroyed their family and solved their difficulties. They retreated from the north to the south, and suffered many setbacks and wars. After 13 years of blood and fire, until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Zhao family sacrificed more than 30 people for the country.
