During the Anti-Japanese War, a famous heroine Zhao Yiman appeared in the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. She has longed for revolution since she was a child, and with the influence and help of her eldest brother-in-law Zheng Youzhi, she gradually embarked on the road of revolution. When she was a student, she actively participated in revolutionary activities, became a student leader, joined the Chinese Socialist Youth League, and joined the party. In 1923, Zhao Yiman was sent by the party organization to study in the former Soviet Union and returned to China more than a year later. Under extremely difficult circumstances, he was first sent to Yichang, Hubei Province for underground work, and then to Northeast China after the September 18th Incident. On August 2, 1936, Zhao Yiman was killed by Japanese invaders at the age of 31. On the day of the sacrifice, Zhao Yiman wrote a suicide note to his son, the last sentence of which read: "When you grow up, I hope you will not forget that your mother died for the country!"

Who is Zhao Yiman?

On August 2, 1936, Zhao Yiman died heroically in the fight against Japanese aggression. At that time, people only knew that there was a heroine in the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces who was dressed in red, riding a white horse, galloping through the dense forests of the White Mountains and Black Waters, making the Japanese invaders frightened. She is the female political commissar of the Second Regiment of the Third Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. But where did she come from, what was her identity, and how did she embark on the road of dedicating herself to the revolution and becoming an anti-Japanese hero? People don't know. It was not until the early 1950s that after the movie "Zhao Yiman" produced by the Northeast Film Studio was released, a piece of information about his sister Li Kuntai's mother written by Li Kunjie, a Communist Party member in Yibin, Sichuan, was sent to the original source. A mystery was solved in the hands of He Chengxiang, the Organization Minister of the Manchuria Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, and Feng Zhongyun, the former director of the Political Department of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. Two elderly people, He Chengxiang and Feng Zhongyun, saw several photos attached to Li Kunjie's letter: short hair, oval face, and handsome face. The two elderly people determined that Li Kuntai was Zhao Yiman.

It turns out that Zhao Yiman was born in Baiyangzui, Yibin, Sichuan. Baiyangzui is 120 miles away from Yibin County. It is a small mountain village surrounded by mountains and rivers in a deep ravine. The strange thing is that there is no poplar tree in Baiyangzui, but it is surrounded by green bamboos, and the scenery is beautiful. Baiyangzui is divided into upper, middle and lower. Zhao Yiman was born in Zhongbaiyangzui to a wealthy family. Her father, Li Hongxu, had donated students to prisons during the Qing Dynasty and later became a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. The Li family has six daughters and two sons. Zhao Yiman ranks seventh. She also has a younger brother. When she was born, her father named her Li Shurui, and her scientific name was Kuntai. Later, when she joined the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, she changed her name to Zhao Yiman.

Zhao Yiman’s childhood was happy and happy. Her mother, Lan Mingfu, is kind and gentle and loves her very much. From the time she could walk, her mother let her go to the bamboo forest and fields to play, running like a wild horse, fluttering at butterflies, catching dragonflies and crickets, and never leaving home all day long.

At the age of eight, Zhao Yiman was sent to a private school. The old gentleman taught seven or eight students at a time, just like an old hen with a group of chicks. People in the village called the private school "Chicken Mother School". Zhao Yiman is very smart. The "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Surnames" and "Thousand Character Classic" taught by the teacher are very boring, and she can memorize them quickly. However, as time passed, she lost interest. She often deserted in class and sometimes engaged in small tricks. When the old gentleman closed his eyes and shook his head while reciting the text silently, she released a black butterfly and a big blue-eyed dragonfly. The students couldn't help but laugh out loud. The old gentleman didn't know what was going on, but he saw Zhao Yiman sitting upright and reading. However, one time the secret was revealed. While the old gentleman was giving a lecture, a "cicada" barked. The old gentleman stood up, waved his pointer, and asked sternly: "Who is playing with cicadas?" No one said anything. However, the cry of cicadas came from the drawer of Zhao Yiman's desk. The old man followed the sound and went straight to Zhao Yiman and took out a cardboard box from her drawer.

At this time, Zhao Yiman put a praying mantis into the old man's neck while the old man was not paying attention. When the students saw that the old gentleman was itchy and angry, they all burst out laughing. The old gentleman was so angry that he waved his pointer and said to Zhao Yiman: "This is too outrageous. I will punish you by reciting the "Three Character Classic" tomorrow morning. If you can't memorize it, I will serve you with the pointer!"

The next day, the old gentleman thought Teach Zhao Yiman a lesson. In class, the old gentleman held a pointer in his hand and asked Zhao Yiman to recite the "Three Character Classic". The classmates were all sweating for her, but she stood up and recited it very fluently. The old gentleman put down the pointer and said in a satisfied tone: "If you memorize well, you have to focus on studying. 'If you don't work hard when you are young, you will be sad when you are old'!"

Zhao Yiman grew up Hate feudal ethics and customs. At that time, girls had to have their feet bound at a very young age, which was very painful. When Zhao Yiman was about 10 years old, her father passed away and her eldest brother Li Xiru took charge of the family. She no longer allowed her to go to school and asked her mother to strictly discipline her. One day, her mother called Zhao Yiman to her and said, "Shurui, it's time for you to bind your feet. If you don't bind your feet, people will laugh at you." She saw with her own eyes the pain of her mother's feet being bound. The two little feet were only three or four inches long. They were shaky when walking. Not only could they not walk fast, they would often fall to the ground. Sometimes when it rains, my mother goes to the field to pull out two vegetables. The road is slippery and she has to crawl.

When Zhao Yiman heard that she was asked to bind her feet, she said stubbornly: "I won't bind my feet!" Her mother said: "Girls have to bind their feet. This is a rule left by our ancestors." Zhao Yiman said: "I can't walk steadily even if my feet are bound." Her mother refused to give in and said, "If you don't want to bind your feet, you have to bind them!" Zhao Yiman said nothing and ran out of the house without binding his feet. A few days later, my mother found an old woman, forced her down on the bed, and wrapped her feet. The layers of foot-wrapping cloth made the pain in her feet unbearable. At night, Zhao Yiman used scissors to cut open the foot-binding cloth, cut it into pieces, and threw it on the floor. The next day, as soon as her mother entered the house, she was so angry that she was shaking all over. Zhao Yiman had never been beaten before, but this time her mother beat her severely. But Zhao Yiman was determined and refused to eat, drink, or even comb his hair. Her mother coaxed her and promised to bind her feet and make her a floral dress. Zhao Yiman swore, "If I have my feet bound again, I won't be able to live anymore!" Her mother had no choice but to feel sorry for her daughter, so she stopped mentioning the matter of foot binding. Zhao Yiman finally kept her natural feet through struggle.

Pilots on the road to revolution

Someone needs guidance and help on the long road of life, and the power of role models is infinite. Zhao Yiman was able to embark on the road of revolution, devote herself to the country, and become a great anti-Japanese hero. Her pilot was her eldest brother-in-law Zheng Youzhi, who was her earliest role model.

Zhao Yiman’s eldest brother-in-law Zheng Youzhi is a passionate young man who is patriotic and revolutionary. He originally studied industry, but instead of going into business, he returned to the countryside to run schools and promote revolutionary ideas. In order to transform old China, he embarked on the revolutionary road. Zhao Yiman admires her eldest brother-in-law very much, and Zheng Youzhi also cares about Zhao Yiman very much.

When Zhao Yiman was a child, he went to live with his grandma, and his eldest sister and brother-in-law also came. The eldest brother-in-law tells Zhao Yiman stories every day, and the ones he tells the most are: Lin Zexu's smoking ban at Humen, Deng Shichang's resistance to the Japanese in the Yellow Sea, and the Russian revolutionaries' shelling of the Winter Palace. The eldest brother-in-law also gave her many beautiful pictures, including one of a smoking ship. The eldest brother-in-law told her that the world is very big, with several continents and oceans. Zhao Yiman also drew a big ship based on the picture. There was a little girl standing on the bow. The little girl was herself. She yearned very much to board the big ship and see all over the world.

The eldest brother-in-law also gave lessons to several children, teaching them how to read and read. Zhao Yiman is very smart and naughty. One night, Zhao Yiman didn't finish his homework, so he and his cousin went outside to see the Magpie Bridge. That day was July 7, and the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were going to meet. Seeing that in the middle of the night, both of them were sleepy, and they didn't see the magpie building a bridge. When he arrived in class the next day, Zhao Yiman remembered that he had not done his homework, so he lowered his head to make up for it. The eldest brother-in-law gave her homework assignments and made several mistakes. She lowered her head in embarrassment.

The eldest brother-in-law patiently said to her: "Shuduan, you are studying so that you can grow up and have the ability to do things. If you don't study seriously, you will be delaying yourself!" Zhao Yiman went to bed very late that night, and she did it under the oil lamp. She repeated the wrong arithmetic problem several times. When her eldest brother-in-law judged her homework, she gave her several red ticks (check marks).

As Zhao Yiman grew up, he told his eldest brother Li Xiru that he wanted to go out to study. At that time, my father had passed away and it was my eldest brother who was in charge. The eldest brother was an old man with an unhappy face and said: "What school should a girl go to! It is virtue for a woman to be without talent." Zhao Yiman insisted on going to school and shouted loudly: "You can't deprive me of my right to study!" The eldest brother did not give in and said, "I don't have money for you to go to school, so go away!" Zhao Yiman was so angry that he argued with reason and said, "You smoke cigarettes and play mahjong and have money, how much money can you use to support my schooling? "The eldest brother was so angry that he wanted to beat Zhao Yiman.

Zhao Yiman was so angry that she vomited blood because her eldest brother refused to let her go to school. The eldest brother-in-law heard about it and came to persuade her. The eldest brother-in-law said to Zhao Yiman: "It's not worth it to be so angry that you vomit blood. If I don't let you go to school, just study at home!"

With the help of the eldest brother-in-law Zheng Youzhi, Zhao Yiman started self-study Life is a great harvest.

The eldest brother-in-law sent Zhao Yiman a set of textbooks and a new dictionary. She arranges her time tightly every day: studying textbooks by herself in the morning, doing homework in the afternoon, and writing in her diary in the evening. When her father died, he left her a pocket watch. She looked at the pocket watch every day and studied by subject according to the hour. Every week, she asks her younger brother to pass her homework, diary and study questions to her eldest brother-in-law. No matter how busy the eldest brother-in-law is, he must carefully correct and answer the questions. At that time, few people in rural areas learned English. The eldest brother-in-law also taught her English. The eldest brother-in-law also signed up Zhao Yiman to participate in the correspondence study of the Shanghai Commercial Press Correspondence Society. In addition to studying, Zhao Yiman often helps his mother with housework, raising chickens, ducks, and rabbits, and uses the money earned from labor to buy books, paper, and pens.

The eldest brother-in-law Zheng Youzhi saw that Zhao Yiman had a strong desire for progress and hated the darkness of society at that time. In addition to teaching her cultural and scientific knowledge, he often gave her progressive books and periodicals to read and ordered them for her. "New Youth", "Awakening", "Women's Weekly", "Guide Weekly", etc. opened Zhao Yiman's horizons and his consciousness improved rapidly. In order to prevent her eldest brother from discovering that she was reading these progressive books and periodicals, Zhao Yiman ran to the bamboo forest to read them. Later, the eldest brother found out and burned her books. The eldest brother said to her viciously: "If you read these evil books again, I will beat you to death!" Zhao Yiman showed no sign of weakness and said: "You just beat me to a pulp, and I still want to read it!"

With the help of his elder brother-in-law Zheng Youzhi, Zhao Yiman determined to join the revolution and joined the Chinese Socialist Youth League.

The Women Leader of Baiyangzui

With the care and help of her eldest brother-in-law Zheng Youzhi, Zhao Yiman is determined to declare war on the old ethics and join the trend of transforming the old society.

After Zhao Yiman joined the China Socialist Youth League, her eldest brother-in-law Zheng Youzhi taught her to sing a song she will never forget: "The Internationale". She especially likes the lyrics in "The Internationale" "It's all about saving yourself." There has never been any savior, neither a god nor an emperor, nor any of the heroes. It's all about saving yourself! ”

Zhao Yiman walked out of the family with the belief of declaring war on the old ethics and devoting himself to transforming the old society. Baiyangzui established the Youth League branch, and Zhao Yiman served as the branch secretary. She went deep into the homes of poor women, Understand their lives, observe with your own eyes, and think with your own mind.

After the Youth League branch was established, the first thing to do was to establish the "Women's Liberation Alliance." The two sisters had a lot of fun going to the second sister's house, which was just a short walk up the mountain. It was called Zengjiawan. Zhao Yiman often talked with the second sister about organizing women and fighting for women's liberation. , the second sister also joined the Chinese Socialist Youth League.

It was not easy to establish the "Women's Liberation Alliance" in the backward and backward Baiyangzui. Zhao Yiman and the second sister often lived in poverty. Go among women, chat with them, and promote the principles of women's liberation; tell them that men and women should be equal, women also have the right to education, and oppose beatings and scoldings by husbands and parents-in-law.

Many women agreed with Zhao Yiman's teachings, and their awareness quickly increased. But how to establish the "Women's Liberation Alliance"? Zhao Yiman found her eldest brother-in-law, sat under the old silver tree at her second sister's house, and begged her eldest brother-in-law to help her. The eldest brother-in-law said that it is easy to set up a meeting, mainly how to carry out the work. In order to help and support the establishment of the "Women's Liberation Alliance", the eldest brother-in-law spent 4 silver dollars and asked someone to go to the city to print a declaration and brochures. He discussed with Sister Zhao Yiman in detail about the establishment of the Alliance, including the candidate for the president. Zhao Yiman said mischievously: "Eldest brother-in-law, please be our president!" The eldest brother-in-law also said jokingly: "Okay! Then I have to comb my beard into braids." The three of them discussed how to hold the founding meeting. , how to arrange the meeting procedures and what will be said at the meeting. The founding meeting was about to be held, and Zhao Yiman felt a little worried. The second sister encouraged her and said, "Don't be afraid! I don't believe that holding a meeting is more difficult than getting into a sedan chair!" Zhao Yiman also cheered up and said, "The second sister said That's right. The road is made by people, and the things are done by people." On October 28, 1924, the "Women's Liberation Alliance" was established. The second sister Li Kunjie was elected as the president, and the eldest sister Zeng from Baihuachang was elected as the vice president. Chairman, Zhao Yiman serves as clerk. Zhao Yiman spoke in front of many women for the first time at the founding meeting. She spoke impassionedly about the need for women to strive for liberation, to oppose the three obediences and four virtues, to oppose polygamy, and to oppose child brides. These teachers women have vital interests and demands. After the alliance was established, it quickly grew to more than 180 people, and Zhao Yiman became the leader of the Baiyangzui women.

After the establishment of the "Women's Liberation Alliance", Zhao Yiman became a caring person for poor and oppressed women.

There was a woman named Fu Guihua who was a member of the Tongmenghui. When she was 5 years old, her parents arranged for her to be married as a child bride. When she grew up, her husband was lazy and a heavy smoker. He was in great pain and wanted to break off the engagement but couldn't. Fu Guihua found the Tongmenghui. Zhao Yiman, her second sister, and Vice President Sister Zeng went to her home in person and convinced her parents that Fu Guihua was freed from the arranged marriage.

There is also a painter's daughter Chen Qiming who was abused by his stepmother. One day, she was hung by her stepmother in the orange garden. Zhao Yiman and his second sister immediately ran to Chen Qiming's house to discuss matters with her stepmother.

Chen Qiming’s stepmother is an unreasonable and aggressive person. Before Zhao Yiman could speak, she said arrogantly: "Who did you hear that I abused my daughter? As a mother, I just beat her a few times and then What? Is it illegal to take care of children?" After that, he closed the door with a bang. After Zhao Yiman and the others left, Chen Qiming was made to stand on the ground as a prison by his stepmother, and he was forced to kneel in the circle she made.

In order to liberate Chen Qiming, Zhao Yiman invited her to the orange garden at night. The moon rose, and Chen Qiming was seen climbing down the roots of a yellow jujube tree on the cliff and sliding down the orange garden. Zhao Yiman said: "Do you think you can survive like this?" Chen Qiming said with tears: "What kind of life have I been living! Look, I was beaten so hard that I didn't even dare to cry. , it would be better to die!" Zhao Yiman said: "Then why don't you resist?" Chen Qiming said: "My father only listens to my stepmother and beats me at every turn. Sometimes he doesn't even give me food. How can I resist? "Zhao Yiman said: "The more this happens, the more you have to fight for your own liberation." Chen Qiming said, "I am willing to endure any hardship!" With help, Chen Qiming escaped from this home and embarked on a new life.

The leader of the Yibin student movement

With the support of his eldest sister, second sister and eldest brother-in-law, Zhao Yiman left home and went to Yibin when he was 20 years old after fighting with his eldest brother Li Xiru. Yibin Girls' Normal Middle School.

Zhao Yiman knew that although he had studied hard on his own for several years, he still had a solid foundation of knowledge, so he studied harder. In addition to studying, she also actively participates in some social activities.

Zhao Yiman was elected as a member of the Youth League branch in Yibin Normal Middle School. At that time, there was a movement in many places to "liberate women and oppose ethics" to cut braids and shorten hair. The county education bureau issued a notice: no hair cutting is allowed, all female middle school students are required to wear buns, and all female primary school students are required to wear braids.

Zhao Yiman led his classmates to find the superintendent (principal) Long Zhongxian.

Everyone said with a smile: "Mr. Long, we all can't comb our hair or do a bun, please give us some advice!"

The superintendent said angrily: "This is a school, not a barber shop. What about combing your hair and wearing a bun?"

Zhao Yiman said: "Yes, this is obviously a school, but the Education Bureau insists that we do it, and no one knows how to do it. What if you don't teach us?" /p>

The superintendent got angry and said: "Go away, don't act nonsense!"

Everyone said: "Who is acting nonsense? We are asking you to teach you how to do bun buns!"

The supervisor said: "I can't!" and turned to leave. Zhao Yiman took out the scissors that he had prepared and said to everyone: "Classmates! Mr. Long doesn't know how to do buns, so we have to cut our hair." With that, he cut off his braids with a click. Zhao Yiman became the first female student in Yibin to cut off her braids. The classmates also cut off their braids, and Zhao Yiman became a widely watched figure in Yibin. She also wrote an article in the "Education Weekly" written by her eldest brother-in-law Zheng Youzhi, criticizing the Yibin Education Bureau's decision to wear a bun.

In 1925, the famous "May 30th Massacre" occurred in our country, and strikes and demonstrations were held in various places. Zhao Yiman was also selected as the women's officer of the Yibin "May 30th Movement" Diplomatic Support Association. She actively participated in the parade, posted slogans, and gave speeches.

In 1926, the Northern Expedition began. The Northern Expedition vanguard led by General Ye Ting was victorious, the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal movements were vigorously carried out, and foreign goods were boycotted everywhere.

A few days before the Dragon Boat Festival, there was news that a British oil tanker trafficked in foreign oil by Yibin profiteer Li Boheng was coming to Yibin. The Yibin Federation of Students immediately established a headquarters to boycott foreign goods, and Zhao Yiman was also a member.

On this day, the British oil tanker arrived at the confluence of the Jinsha River and the Minjiang River. When it was approaching the Wangye Temple Pier, two thousand students on the shore shouted "Down with imperialism!" "Oppose economic aggression!" "No! 'Qiuyou' is coming ashore!"

The oil tanker continued to sail towards the dock despite the students' shouts. The students were enraged, and the chairman of the Student Federation shouted: "Hit!" Bluestones were thrown at the oil tanker, and the oil tanker had to drive towards the center of the river. However, it stopped moving when it reached the center of the river. The students worked in shifts for three days and nights. On the fourth day, the cunning and profiteer Li Boheng hired some people who did not know the truth in an attempt to unload the foreign oil onto a barge and transport it away. Li Boheng also struggled with the city defense commander and prepared to suppress the students who blocked the unloading of oil. At this time, Zhao Yiman waved and shouted, and dozens of students jumped on wooden boats and rowed toward the center of the river. Under the command of Shao Bin, chairman of the Federation of Students, the students pushed the foreign oil toward the center of the river. Zhao Yiman pushed down more than 10 barrels in a row. Suddenly, gunfire rang out from the riverside, and the city defense troops rushed towards the pier. Zhao Yiman was upright and said to the soldiers: "You are all Chinese. If you don't fight imperialism and feudal warlords, but come to kill unarmed students, you are not a hero!"

The city defense army took them away. Several patriotic students were recruited, and the Yibin Student Federation organized students to petition the City Defense Headquarters. The entire city rose up to support the patriotic students. The Yibin Federation of Students also sent a message to the whole country, calling for support from the National Federation of Students.

The struggle was finally won, and the profiteers agreed to the conditions put forward by the students: all "Qiu oil" would be auctioned at a 30% discount within three days, and no more "Qiu oil" would be sold in the future.

Female political commissar of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces

Because Zhao Yiman took the lead in boycotting "foreign goods", she was expelled from the school. At that time, the Northern Expedition was victorious and the situation was developing rapidly. The party organization decided to send Zhao Yiman to study at the Wuhan branch of the Central Military and Political School. This was from October 1926 to April 12, 1927, when Chiang Kai-shek showed his evil side and launched a counter-revolutionary coup. Massacre of communists. Some people were shaken and frightened in the face of white terror. But Zhao Yiman did not waver at all and followed Ye Ting's independent division to Nanchang. In August 1927, Zhao Yiman was secretly sent to the former Soviet Union to study, and was given a nice Russian name: Skomatyuva. She studied at Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow for less than a year before returning to her motherland and doing underground work in Yichang, Hubei Province. After the September 18th Incident, she was sent to work in Northeast China. She first worked in Shenyang for a period, but because the organization was destroyed, she went to Harbin.

Zhao Yiman worked in Harbin for two years. Because the organization was destroyed, he was sent to Zhuhe County to fight against Japan.

Zhuhe County has undulating mountains and dense forests. It is the base area where the famous Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces leaders Zhao Shangzhi and Li Zhaolin led the masses to resist Japan. In early 1934, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army Headquarters was established here, with Zhao Shangzhi as commander-in-chief.

After Zhao Yiman came to Zhuhe County, he first served as secretary of the Tiebei District Party Committee, extensively mobilizing the masses to support the anti-Japanese war. The harsh struggle made Zhao Yiman deeply feel the importance of armed struggle. In the face of the enemy's brutal raids, she said: "We can no longer wait to be beaten with our bare hands. We must arm ourselves and take up swords and guns to fight against Japan and save the country!" After hearing what Zhao Yiman said, some young people asked Zhao Yiman to give them hair. gun. Zhao Yiman smiled and said: "I don't have a gun. The gun is with the enemy. We have to find a way to seize the gun from the enemy!"

After careful planning, Zhao Yiman began to take down the puppet army outposts. action. There are some enemy outposts on the Maoershan Highway, which are obstacles to our anti-Japanese activities. Getting rid of these enemy outposts is an urgent need in the fight against Japan, and it can also seize guns from the enemy.

That night, Zhao Yiman led a five-person action team and set out. She asked a soldier to take a machete and a rubber ball filled with water and inflated to serve as the vanguard. She and three other comrades followed on horseback to meet them. Every time they arrived at a post, if the enemy didn't notice, the five people would work together to cut down the sentry, then break into the post to hand over the enemy's gun and cut the phone line. If the enemy notices it, the comrade in front will press the ball and it will make a "crack" sound, just like the sound of an anus. When the enemy's sentry is paralyzed or turns around, he will be cut down. Overnight, they destroyed several enemy outposts and obtained a batch of guns and ammunition.

With guns and ammunition, Zhao Yiman led everyone to practice. Once, while they were practicing, the traffic officer hurried over to report that a group of Japanese soldiers were setting off from Zhuhe and were going to pass them. Zhao Yiman asked: "How many enemies are there?" The traffic officer said: "There are more than 20 people!" After hearing this, Zhao Yiman hit his left palm with his right fist and said: "Okay! This time, our Self-Defense Forces should Open your mouth!"

Closing your mouth is the only way for the enemy to pass through. Zhao Yiman led everyone to ambush here. After a while, a Japanese officer carrying a foreign sword rode up on a big horse and led a group of Japanese soldiers.

It was the first time for the self-defense soldiers to fight the Japanese. Everyone held their breath, waiting for Zhao Yiman's order. The Japanese were getting closer and closer. Zhao Yiman quietly said to the self-defense team members around him: "Aim the gun at the Japanese officer. If I shout, shoot!" The team members passed the command one by one.

As the enemy approached, Zhao Yiman gave an order: "Hit!" The Japanese officer fell down from his horse and screamed. The Japanese team was also in chaos and died. Escape.

Zhao Yiman shouted again: "Charge!" The team members jumped up and rushed toward the enemy like arrows from a string.

This ambush battle was a complete victory, and an enemy officer and more than 20 Japanese soldiers were eliminated. The self-defense team members were beaming with joy and their morale was greatly increased. News of the victory quickly spread throughout Zhuhe Village, and Zhao Yiman became famous. Zhao Yiman is known as the female political commissar of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. She was wearing a rabbit skin hat and a short fur coat, carrying a box gun across her back, and a pair of ? Shoes, majestic. The enemy also called her "the king of the jungle with two guns and a red dress and a white horse."

She died heroically and her fame will last forever

The anti-Japanese war in Northeast China was raging, and the situation was developing rapidly. Zhao Yiman serves as the political commissar of the Second Regiment of the Third Army of the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army as Secretary of the Zhuhe Road North District Committee. Later, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army was established in 1935, and Zhao Yiman still served as the political commissar of the Second Regiment.

In 1935, the anti-Japanese struggle in Northeast China was very arduous. The Japanese and puppet troops continued to carry out "big crusade", killing people and setting fires everywhere. The anti-Japanese coalition forces had to move into the deep mountains and old forests. The Japanese invaders stepped up their blockade. The anti-Japanese coalition forces were cut off from the masses and could not get food. They could not wear clothes in the severe cold winter. Put on cotton clothes.

When the food was gone, the soldiers went out hunting and brought back wild boars, roe deer, and rabbits, and grilled them over the fire. If you can't hit the beast, just put the belt on? The shoes are boiled and eaten. Just light a bonfire and camp in the dense forest at night, or rest during the day and be active at night. Although life is hard and the struggle is cruel, the soldiers are high-spirited and full of emotions.

In November 1935, the troops came to a place called Lefty Ditch. This was originally our base area. After the enemy's attack, it has been turned into ruins and the people have fled.

On this night, Zhao Yiman and the regiment leader Wang Huitong took advantage of the red light of the campfire to spread out the military map and study the next course of action. The deployment was completed and it was almost dawn. Zhao Yiman was leaning against a tree and was about to squint for a while. Suddenly, "Pop! Pah!" Two gunshots were heard. The soldiers immediately jumped into battle. However, it was surrounded by enemies. More than 600 Japanese and puppet troops were following them, trying to catch them all. Zhao Yiman saw that the enemy was strong, so he led a squad to cover and asked the regiment leader Wang Huitong to lead everyone to break out. Zhao Yiman gave an order and machine guns fired at the enemy; the Japanese quickly rushed towards Zhao Yiman and the others, with machine guns and artillery hitting rocks flying and making the mountains and forests tremble. Zhao Yiman threw a grenade over, and a dozen soldiers opened fire together, repelling several enemy attacks in a row. Finally outnumbered, Zhao Yiman threw the last grenade at the enemy, jumped and rolled to the bottom of the ditch.

Late at night, I can’t see my fingers. Zhao Yiman woke up, crawled a few steps in the dark, and found movement. She held the gun in her hand and watched carefully. From the sound of it, it doesn't sound like an enemy. She shouted softly: "Who?" The other party said softly: "Is it the political commissar? I am Lao Yu." Lao Yu found that Zhao Yiman was injured and quickly bandaged her. Then he helped her walk towards Maoergou. At dawn, they met a female team member. Only then did 16-year-old Yang Guilan learn that the group leader's team had failed to break through.

After dawn, they found a small wooden house with a "weird man" with a "big beard" next to the wooden house. Zhao Yiman looked carefully and recognized an old man named Zhang Zhang. His whole family was killed by the enemy and he was looking for the anti-Japanese coalition forces. Old man Zhang asked Zhao Yiman and the others to rest in the cabin. After a while, he brought a pot of hot noodle soup. This is what Old Man Zhang made with the little meat he had hidden in the hole. There was no bowl, so we took turns eating from the only can. I haven't eaten for a few days, but the three of us ate very well.

Unexpectedly, when Old Man Zhang was lighting a fire to cook, the enemy noticed that there was smoke and pounced on him. The cabin was surrounded. Zhao Yiman picked up his gun and fired at the enemy, while ordering everyone to evacuate quickly. When Lao Yu opened the door, he was knocked down. Zhao Yiman became furious and wanted to save Lao Yu. A row of bullets came. Zhao Yiman felt numbness in his thighs and left wrist. He fell to the ground and was caught by the enemy.

The enemy took the seriously injured Zhao Yiman and several anti-alliance fighters to Zhuhe County in an ox cart. Zhao Yiman's right leg was penetrated by a bullet, exposing the bones. Her shoulder and right wrist were also injured. The blood stained the cotton trousers and cotton jacket red, and they were frozen to death when the cold wind blew. The bullock cart was walking on the mountain road, and the bumps and bumps made Zhao Yiman unbearably painful. Xiao Yang hugged Zhao Yiman tightly to minimize Zhao Yiman's pain. The bullock cart entered the county seat. Zhao Yiman struggled to sit up from Xiao Yang's arms and whispered to the soldiers: "Comrades! Stand up tall and let the common people see that we anti-union fighters are not cowards!" She also led everyone in shouting all the way. Slogan: "Down with Japanese imperialism!" "Don't be a subjugated slave!"

The enemy and puppet Songjiang Provincial Police Department sent Japanese spy Taiji Ohno to Zhuhe to interrogate Zhao Yiman. Zhao Yiman only said that she was "responsible for the work of women in the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Congress" and did not reveal any party secrets. Zhao Yiman also denounced Japanese spies: "You are Japanese, what are the Japanese doing in China?" He also said: "I am Chinese, how can I sit idly by and watch you brutally kill Chinese people?"

Zhao Yiman fell into unconsciousness again and again under the torture of the enemy, but did not give in at all.

On this day, Zhao Yiman and group leader Wang Huitong were escorted to a square outside Xiaobei Gate of the county seat. There is a table in the middle of the square, and on it is the spiritual tablet of a Japanese colonel who was killed by the Second Regiment in Zuoyizigou. The enemy wants to use their lives to sacrifice their souls.

Zhao Yiman and Wang Huitong were pushed in front of the newly dug pit. The fierce Japanese officer waved his saber and shouted at them: "Do you want to tell me? I'll give you three minutes. Where are the big troops?" Zhao Yiman Man said contemptuously: "That's ridiculous!" The Japanese officer jumped up in anger and ordered to shoot. At this last moment, Zhao Yiman and Wang Huitong shouted at the same time: "Long live the Communist Party of China!" Gunfire rang out and Wang Huitong fell. Zhao Yiman closed his eyes and said silently in his mind: "Captain! Let's go, I'm following you!" There was another gunshot, and the bullet flew past Zhao Yiman's ear.

The enemy asked Zhao Yiman to accompany her, trying to get some secrets out of her mouth. At this time, Zhao Yiman was already dying. The enemy sent her to the hospital and asked the doctor to preserve her life and prepare to continue the interrogation. The doctors and nurses responsible for treating and caring for Zhao Yiman were all Chinese. They learned that Zhao Yiman was arrested by the Japanese invaders because of her firm resistance to Japan, and they admired her tenacity. Later, Zhao Yiman escaped from the hospital with the help of a conscientious guard, but on his way to find the anti-Japanese coalition forces, he was captured by the enemy again.

On August 2, 1936, the enemy took Zhao Yiman outside the Xiaobei Gate of Zhuhe County. Zhao Yiman got off the bullock cart, and two military policemen stepped forward to hold her up. She shook her shoulders left and right to prevent those dirty hands from touching her.

Zhao Yiman knew that the last moment had arrived. She trudged to the grass and stood there, her haggard face shining with a strange light.

"Zhao Yiman, what else do you have to say?" the enemy shouted fiercely. Zhao Yiman puffed up his chest and shouted: "Down with Japanese imperialism!", "Long live the Communist Party of China!"

Zhao Yiman fell in a pool of blood amidst the criminal gunfire. 31 years old.

During many interrogations by the enemy and severe torture, Zhao Yiman remained strong and unyielding and did not reveal a word of the party's secrets. She just left a suicide note for her son on the day of her death. This suicide note written with blood, tears and life should be remembered forever by the descendants of the martyrs. The suicide note written by Zhao Yiman to his son is copied below:

Ning'er:

It is really a pity that your mother failed to fulfill her educational responsibility to you.

Because my mother resolutely fought against the Manchus and resisted Japan, she has lived to the eve of sacrifice today!

Mom and you will never have the chance to meet again during your lifetime. I hope you, Ning'er! Become an adult quickly and comfort your underground mother!

My dearest son: Mother doesn’t need thousands of words to educate you, she educates you with practice!

When you grow up, I hope you will not forget that your mother died for the country!

August 2, 1936
