The old woman with two guns was originally an anti-Japanese hero. Later, she gathered bandits and captured the county. After being captured, she was executed.
The old woman with two guns, whose real name was Hongwenguo, was born in the late Qing Dynasty. Because her husband's surname was Zhao, her name became Zhao Hongwen. Country , she is from the Northeast and is known as Mrs. Zhao. In 1931, the September 18th Incident broke out, and the three eastern provinces of China were occupied by the Japanese, and the people were in dire straits.
Her child is called Zhao Tong . He was originally in elementary school, but when he saw the Japanese invasion, he said he wanted to fight the Japanese. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhao actually agreed and took the whole family to join the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army.
Zhao Tong then organized all the students in the school to form the Young Iron Blood Army. His mother Zhao Hongwenguo also participated and was responsible for the team's weapons and intelligence work.
Mrs. Zhao also called on the local adults to join the army to fight the Japanese, but the villagers did not believe her, thinking that she was just an ordinary old lady, how could she lead a team to fight the Japanese.
Seeing that the villagers did not believe it, Mrs. Zhao personally went out to ambush three Japanese soldiers. With a box cannon in each hand, she killed two of them with two bang-bang shots, and another one ran away in fear. Her shooting skills shocked the villagers. She became known as the "Old Woman with Two Guns", and then she formed an anti-Japanese team and dealt a big blow to the Japanese army.
In order to eliminate the anti-Japanese forces, the Japanese army raided Zhaojiabao and burned Zhao Hongwen's country house, which was the headquarters of the Young Iron-Blooded Army.
But this did not dampen Mrs. Zhao's anti-Japanese fighting spirit. Mrs. Zhao also printed and distributed many anti-Japanese leaflets. The fighting spirit of the people in the surrounding areas was ignited by her, and more people joined the anti-Japanese team.
The Japanese army once again raided Zhaojiapu and arrested Mrs. Zhao and her family. Although she was severely tortured, she never said a word. Later, the Young Iron Blood Army rescued her and then rescued her again. her family.
In this way, Mrs. Zhao and her son persisted in resisting Japan. In 1940, Chiang Kai-shek met this anti-Japanese hero, took a photo with her, and wrote "Mother of Guerrilla" personally. Dong Biwu, the representative of the Communist Party of China in Chongqing, also came to the scene to congratulate him and expressed his kindness.
Later, in order to win over Mrs. Zhao, Chiang Kai-shek gave her an official position and made her the lieutenant general commander-in-chief of the "Second Route Appeasement Headquarters of the Jiliao Border Region". Mrs. Zhao burst into tears of gratitude.
After the Anti-Japanese War, Zhao Hongwenguo led her team back to the Northeast to follow the Kuomintang. During the Liberation War, Mrs. Zhao made enemies of the People's Liberation Army and the people many times, and she killed hundreds of People's Liberation Army soldiers.
After the Liaoshen Battle, her weapons were beaten to nothing, and she had to take her family and flee to Chongqing. In 1949, five days before the liberation of Chongqing, Chiang Ching-kuo sent Mrs. Zhao a letter of appointment, asking her to serve as the "Second Appeasement Commander of the Southwest Anti-Communist Guerrilla Force" to cooperate with Chiang Kai-shek in the Chengdu Campaign. As a result, this time The national army was defeated and Song Xilian was captured alive, but Mrs. Zhao still persisted in her obsession.
In 1950, there were still many bandits in Sichuan. Mrs. Zhao gathered a group of more than 4,000 bandits and prepared to capture the county. However, she was beaten to pieces by the People's Liberation Army on the way and she was also captured.
After Mrs. Zhao was captured, she refused to admit her crime. Since she was an anti-Japanese hero, Zhou Enlai was prepared to intercede for her. However, many people's relatives were killed by her, and they jointly demanded that Mrs. Zhao be killed.
After Chairman Mao found out, he believed that Zhao Hongwenguo was guilty and executed her in accordance with the law. However, her family was innocent and many people had sacrificed for the war of resistance. He ordered Mrs. Zhao to be buried generously and her descendants to be treated favorably.
