They were the first female soldiers of our army and participated in the Nanchang Uprising. One of them rescued Chen Geng.

On August 1st, 1927, the Nanchang Uprising led by Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, He Long, Nie Rongzhen and others broke out, which was the beginning for China * * * to independently lead the armed uprising against the * * * villains. At that time, the insurgents were called the Second Army of the National Revolutionary Army, with more than 23, troops. When it comes to the Nanchang Uprising on August 1st, people will naturally think of the bloody men who took part in the Uprising. In fact, there were not only male soldiers in the uprising army at that time, but also a team of female soldiers, and these female soldiers were discovered by accident. In 1957, the preparatory work of Nanchang Bayi Uprising Memorial Hall lacked some valuable historical materials and cultural relics. At this time, some people in the preparatory group saw a memoir in a publication. The author of the article was actually a female soldier who had participated in the Nanchang Uprising. The staff immediately rushed to Beijing and found this female soldier named Hu Yuxiu. Through Hu Yuxiu's introduction, the staff found other female soldiers one after another. Hu Yuxiu According to the memory of female soldiers, most of these female soldiers are students of Wuhan Central Military and Political School (the sixth phase of Huangpu Military Academy), and a few are students of women's training class founded by Liao Zhongkai's wife He Xiangning. On April 12th, 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12th" counter-revolutionary coup, followed by Wang Jingwei in Wuhan. Therefore, * * * female students in Wuhan Central Military and Political School left the school in succession, 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 Red Army of Workers and Peasants, the number of female soldiers at that time was 3, and they were very enthusiastic about participating in the war. The Party organization assigned them jobs according to their major. When the rebel army went south, three were assigned to the staff committee for communication or confidential work, and the remaining 27 were assigned to the 11th Army in Ye Ting, the 2th Army in He Long and the 9th Army in Zhu De for propaganda or rescue work. Whether in March or in battle, the female soldiers showed great bravery, and the heads of the troops all looked at them with new eyes. Zhou Enlai once praised the female soldiers: "Women generals, you have performed very well, being brave and persevering. When we get a foothold in Guangdong, we will send you to the Soviet Union for further study, specializing in military affairs. Among the 3 female soldiers, Wang Minggao, Yang Qinglan, Tan Qinxian and Chen Juewu were called the "Four donkey kong" because of their strong body and heroic performance. Among them, 17-year-old Yang Qinglan was asked to be responsible for propaganda work, writing and posting slogans, and she also saved Chen Geng's life. It turned out that in the process of the troops going south, the uprising troops fought fiercely with the enemy's Qian Dajun department in Huichang on August 3, 1927, and the insurgents suffered heavy losses. A large number of people needed treatment, and the medical staff embedded in the army were simply not enough. Therefore, Yang Qinglan, who decided to be responsible for propaganda, 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 furrow. She walked over and saw a man in a vest and shorts lying unconscious in the grass, with his left leg shot in two places, his kneecap and ankle broken, and the water in the furrow was dyed red with blood. Yang Qinglan had no time to think about it. She picked up the seriously wounded 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, battalion commander of 2nd Battalion, 6th Regiment, 3rd Division, 2th Army of the Rebel Army. Many years later, when Chen Geng and Yang Qinglan meet again, they always mention Yang Qinglan's saving his life, and they have always maintained a profound revolutionary friendship. Among the 3 female soldiers, there was another female soldier named Peng, who gave up the opportunity to study abroad to take part in the uprising. They were Peng Yilan and Peng Yuanhua. At that time, after their identities were 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 first went to Jiujiang and then went to Shanghai from Jiujiang. After the ship arrived in Jiujiang, they suddenly found that many military academy leaders and girls' team students were preparing to go 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, who participated in the preparatory work before the uprising, wrote slogans and served as communication liaison. Peng Yuanhua reorganized his troops in Zhu De of Sanheba after the failure of Nanchang Uprising. 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 for a rest, Zhu De asked Peng Yuanhua to talk: "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 branch secretary of the ambulance service. Will you take this lead? "Peng Yuanhua also don't want to leave. Zhu De added, "It's close to the Ganjiang River, and the traffic is convenient, so it will be more and more inconvenient to walk in the future. "He taught," Where there is Party organization, there can be 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 transferred to local areas to continue to shed their blood for the revolutionary cause. Natural selection: A woman needs a man. Under the leadership of China, women have been liberated and made outstanding contributions to the revolutionary cause in China. Their glorious deeds are always worth learning and publicizing. "Miscellaneous Talks on Natural Selection" was sponsored by Zhang Tianxuan, a faculty member of National Defense University. Zhang Tianxuan served as platoon leader, company commander, deputy director and military region staff officer, and then transferred to National Defense University to teach, mainly engaged in military history research. The video of natural selection gossip has been launched, so it's a good habit to keep an eye on it, so that you can see my articles and videos at the first time and express your opinions.
