Life and Death: Yang Zhicheng and Wu Daoqing

Yang Zhicheng, born in 1903 and died in 1967, was a pioneer and an important leader in the people's logistics work in China, and was known as "the steward of the Red Army". Graduated from whampoa military academy, with the rank of general.

The rain is coming and the wind is getting stronger and stronger.

This fierce red "rainstorm" began with the southern Hunan riots that swept through Chenzhou, Leiyang and Yongxing in Yizhang.

1928 Just after the Lantern Festival, the revolutionary army of workers and peasants in Zhu De captured Chenzhou. The news came that the party organizations in Leiyang county stepped up their work of secretly mobilizing the masses. Wu and Gu Zhiying, members of * * * and heads of county women's federations, came to the county women's vocational middle school to organize a group of activists. Wu Daoqing, a sophomore in this school, is one of them.

On February 16, the revolutionary army of workers and peasants in the north arrived outside Leiyang, wiped out the door-to-door group of more than 800 people in Biaowa, and captured the county seat in one fell swoop. The next day, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians attended the celebration meeting at the Chenghuang Temple, and the county Soviet was proclaimed.

This morning, Wu took Gu Zhiying to the women's vocational school and found Wu Daoqing and others. Wu said to them with high morale: "There is a riot now, and people from all walks of life have taken action. What are you waiting for? Join us! "

Wu Daoqing and several activists were excited by Wu's words. A student opened his eyes and asked, "Sister Lan Ruo, what should we do?"

"Write slogans, engage in propaganda, and cooperate with the county party Committee to mobilize the masses!" Wu Lanre waved loudly.

In the afternoon, Wu Daoqing and several students from women's vocational schools, led by Gu Zhiying, posted slogans on the street of Zheng Xi.

On the way back, I saw two soldiers writing lime slogans on the wall. Because the wall is very high, the writer holds the end of the ladder in one hand and the pen in the other, so he can't lift the lime bucket, and neither can the person who handed it. Seeing this situation, Gu Zhiying said to Wu Daoqing, "Go and help others with the escalator."

Wu Daoqing ran over and held the ladder with his hand. When the soldier who handed the lime bucket saw it, he said happily, "Lieutenant Yang, take the ladder. You can write it at ease."

The soldier called Lieutenant Yang said, "Pass some buckets", dipped them in lime water, wrote two big characters one by one, and then came down from the ladder. He saw a young female student holding a ladder and said in a grateful tone, "Thank you, this classmate."

Wu Daoqing saw Yang's adjutant's face, tanned but handsome, and looked at most 2045 years old. He is taller than the average person, a little thin, and his burning eyes are full of enthusiasm.

Wudaoqing didn't want to go anywhere else, just ask a way:

"Are you from Zhu De?"

"Yes, his name is Yang Zhicheng, and he is the adjutant of the headquarters." The soldier with the lime bucket answered first.

Wudaoqing also introduced himself and said:

"My name is Wu Daoqing, and I am in the second grade of the county women's vocational school." As soon as her words came out, she felt a little inappropriate. She added, "We just joined the revolution these days. Just now, the older one was Gu Zhiying, who was in charge. We posted a slogan on Zheng Xi Street and came back to pass by here. "

Wu Daoqing's sweet and bright voice makes Yang Zhicheng feel that she is a bold and lively girl. Look at her slim figure, beautiful face, sweet dimples on both cheeks, clear eyes like water, and beautiful appearance. Yang Zhicheng smiled and said to her, "So we are doing the same job. You posted everywhere in the city, and we wrote revolutionary slogans everywhere, which made those local tyrants and evil gentry tremble. "

Wu Daoqing didn't know what to say at the moment, and he had an instinctive shyness when talking to strange men. Suddenly, her eyes fell on Yang Zhicheng's hand and she asked, "What combination pen are you using?"

Yang Zhicheng answer with a smile:

"What is a combination brush pen? There are a few brown ones rolled up. " Show each other a brown pen.

Wu Daoqing "Oh, Oh" twice, glanced at Yang Zhicheng and suddenly said, "I'm leaving." With that, he turned around and walked away in surprise.

Yang Zhicheng paused, also don't know what to say hello, looking at the girl with light steps away. At this time, he suddenly felt that the girl had just looked at him, and his heart suddenly trembled. He raised his hand to say something and held back.

Yang Zhicheng looked at Wu Daoqing's back with a sweet but not rigorous feeling. He never imagined that he met this beautiful and lovely girl in leiyang city because he was writing slogans, and since then, he has put on a media line of loving each other in their hearts.

The flood returned to the sea, and the wave of riots in southern Hunan finally swept the peasants in various counties 10000 to Jinggangshan.

Wu Daoqing, Gu Zhiying and a group of Leiyang sisters, except Wu, are all in the 34th Regiment of Gongsijun. They are in the same army and can be seen almost every day. In late May, on the eve of most peasant troops returning to their hometowns from southern Hunan, the military department of Gongsi Army selected a group of young soldiers with a certain education to work as nurses and study medicine in the Red Army Hospital, and Wu Daoqing was selected. At the end of the month, she came to Mao Ping with Dong Qingyun, the hospital's medical director who is also responsible for recruiting staff and Leiyang people, and started a new life.

Mao Ping Red Army Hospital has 38 doctors and nurses, as well as cooking classes and nursing platoon. Wu Daoqing was assigned to a Hunan female doctor named Wu Huiguo, who was studying medical knowledge while nursing the wounded.

On June 22nd, 1928, from 3pm, local red guards and riot squads brought the Red Army wounded from Xincheng one after another. On this day, GongSiJun fought fiercely with two divisions and five regiments of the enemy, Yang Chisheng and Yang Ruxuan, in Qixiling, old and new, at the junction of Ninggang and Yongxin counties. On the one hand, I want to break through the Red Army Front and enter Kangning, so that the Red Army in Zhu Mao has no place; On the other hand, it is necessary to stop the fierce attack of the other side and defend its military base camp. The fighting is unprecedentedly fierce and cruel!

It is already night arrival, and the army stretcher team has sent another batch of wounded people, who are in urgent need of rescue and treatment. All the staff in the hospital were out, and the nurses helped the doctor. Bamboo fires were inserted everywhere on the walls of Panlong Academy, and medical staff and stretcher bearers came in and out, showing a tense and dignified atmosphere.

Wu Huiguo is the top western surgeon in the hospital. He was arranged in the first medical room on the left side of the entrance of the college to deal with the trauma of the wounded, and he was carried away as soon as he was finished. Wu Daoqing and another male doctor served as her assistants.

Another seriously wounded man was brought in. The injured man was pale, his eyes were closed and he was covered in blood. He lay motionless on the bamboo stretcher as if he were dead. A soldier carrying a stretcher anxiously said to Wu Huiguo, "This is Lieutenant Yang. He was seriously injured. I wonder if he can be saved? "

When Wu Daoqing heard the words "adjutant Yang", he couldn't help wondering. He stepped forward gently from behind, only looking at it a few times. Suddenly, he was shocked and carried away. He crouched down and cried eagerly, "Adjutant Yang, it's you! Wake up! "

Wu Huiguo asked:

"Do you know him?"

"Yes, I met him in Leiyang." Wudaoqing say that finish this sentence, continue to call, "Yang adjutant, what's the matter with you? What's wrong? "

Yang Zhicheng on the stretcher didn't answer, only his chest fluctuated slightly, indicating that he was still alive.

Wu Daoqing's nose twitched a few times and could not help but shed tears.

Wu Huiguo patted her on the shoulder and said:

"Hurry up and clean up the wound!"

Wu Daoqing immediately cooperated with the doctor, and Wu Huiguo got busy. They changed Yang Zhicheng's bloody clothes and found that he had three wounds. There is a bullet in the left abdomen and two blood holes in the right leg. Guess the bullet's still in there. Due to excessive bleeding, the injury is very serious. Wu Huiguo had an operation. He first took out the bullet from the left abdominal wound, then found two warheads from the blood hole in his right leg, and then put medicine on it to bind it up.

Wu Huiguo three people busy for an hour and a half, the bamboo fire on the wall in several times to finish all this. The chests and backs of the three people have already been soaked with sweat. Dr. Wu put the scalpel on the plate, took a long breath, beat his waist with the back of his hand, and said with relief, "Well, as long as there is no bleeding in the abdominal cavity, there will be no great danger."

Five knife green Yang Zhicheng looked at the operating table is still in a coma.

Wu Huiguo looked at Wu Daoqing intently and arranged: "Take him to the small room on the right side of the pharmacy, and you should focus on guarding him. You can't leave. Call me at any time if you have any news. "

Wu Daoqing snorted and said, "Sister Wu, you rest first and I'll take care of him."

After midnight, the hospital slowly quieted down. In the small room next to the pharmacy, Wu Daoqing stood beside Yang Zhicheng. She has put the printed quilt on Yang's body and looked at his face, which turned gray due to excessive blood loss, and fell into anxiety.

After dawn, Dean Cao Rong and medical director Dong Qingyun came. They listened to Wu Huiguo's introduction to Yang Zhicheng's injury. Dean Cao took Yang's pulse and discussed with Dong Qingyun: "Those injections are only used on him first, and the others are waiting."

Dong Qingyun nodded silently, and then told Wu Huiguo: These precious penicillin were bought with opium by the detective team of the 32nd regiment in Changsha, and now they are for adjutant Yang's use. Wu Huiguo went to the infirmary to get the medicine at once.

Near noon, the printed quilt covered with Yang Zhicheng finally moved a few times. Wu Daoqing was overjoyed. He leaned very close and whispered, "Assistant Yang, are you awake?"

Yang Zhicheng slowly opened his eyes. In his hazy sight, a pair of female faces that had been engraved in his heart shook before his eyes, and finally stopped, bringing him inner surprises. He moved his lips with some difficulty, and there was a smile on his pale face.

Wu Daoqing was so excited that he repeatedly said, "It's me, it's me. Do you recognize me? "

Yang Zhicheng's lips moved, a smile appeared on his face, and he cried out with difficulty: "Xiao Wu!"

Wu Daoqing let out a cry of "uh-huh", and his eyes overflowed with tears of excitement.

When Dr. Wu Huiguo learned that Yang Zhicheng was awake, he came here at once. She asked Wu Daoqing to feed Yang Zhicheng some warm tea, and they helped him sit on the bed.

Wu Huiguo asked:

"How do you feel now? This is Mao Ping Red Army Hospital. "

Yang Zhicheng's brain is normal. Dr. Wu's words made him understand what was happening in front of him. He took a long breath and asked, "How long have I been in the hospital?"

Wu Huiguo told him:

"It's only one and a half nights now, and Xiao Wu has been guarding you."

Yang Zhicheng looked at Wu Daoqing with tears on his face and said gratefully, "Thank you so much!"

Wu Daoqing didn't seem to hear, so he only advised Wu Huiguo, "Sister Wu, can you get him something to eat?"

Wu Huiguo gently shook his head:

"He can't eat now, can drink some salt water is best. -I will ask the dean to approve some salt. "

After Wu Huiguo left, Wu Daoqing never left Yang Zhicheng's face. She told Yang Zhicheng softly that she had been transferred from the 34th regiment to the hospital as a paramedic.

Yang Zhicheng showed a faint smile on his face and frankly expressed his joy: "I am so happy to see you here!"

"Me too." Wu Daoqing smiled with relief.

Yang Zhicheng is the key nursing object in the hospital. Dong Qingyun and Wu Huiguo come here several times a day, telling Wu Daoqing that besides eating normally, they should also do appropriate auxiliary exercises to restore the functions of internal organs and right leg. The hospital also specially approved a few Jin of coix seed to supplement Yang Zhicheng's nutrition.

Wu Daoqing is busy. Wash Yang Zhicheng's wound with salt and boiled water once a day, and then apply herbs.

Those changed gauze strips are washed, soaked in sterile water, and then dried for later use. She borrowed a clay pot from her cousin and cooked the barley porridge thick and rotten. Help Yang Zhicheng turn over twice every morning and afternoon, and then * * * his right leg.

Ten days later, Yang Zhicheng's injury improved obviously and he could get out of bed and walk slowly. Wudaoqing asked the courtyard department to let Yang Zhicheng move out of Panlong Academy and live in the wing behind Yanxian Temple, where it was much quieter.

By this time, Dr. Wu Huiguo had learned that the young couple had known each other in Leiyang and had been separated. This warm-hearted elder sister, just 40 years old, likes this diligent and polite little sister with the same surname very much, and has the heart to make them love and try to create conditions for them.

Mental function, especially the power from love, is often the most effective prescription to treat patients.

Yang Zhicheng feels great comfort and pleasure to get along with this girl who has fallen in love and is searching hard. Wu Daoqing is cheerful, and now he is very happy to meet a sweetheart who once had a crush.

The two lovers often stroll along the Mao Ping River and sit under the big camphor tree next to the stone arch bridge, pouring out their hearts. Two passionate hearts are closely linked.

In their frank conversation, their life experiences and family, especially the marriage path that Yang Zhicheng took, undoubtedly became an important topic and occupied a major position.

Yang Zhicheng is from Sansui County, Guizhou Province. 12 years old studying in county high school. After graduation, he was admitted to the provincial agricultural school, majoring in sericulture. Influenced by the May 4th Movement and progressive thoughts, Yang Zhicheng, who graduated from a first-class agricultural school, was admitted to the sixth phase of Whampoa Military Academy on May 1925. After graduating from Whampoa Military Academy, he was assigned to be the instructor of the Sixth Regiment of the Third Division of the 20th Army of He Long, and was stationed in Wuhan with the troops. Soon, the revolutionary situation suddenly changed. First, Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12th" counter-revolutionary coup in Shanghai, and then Wang Jingwei took the opportunity to "merge Nanjing and Han". At the critical moment of the failure of the Great Revolution, contrary to those who left the Party voluntarily, Yang Zhicheng resolutely joined China. 1927 In late July, He Long troops entered Jiangxi and became the main force of the Nanchang mutiny. Soon, the rebel army left Jiangxi and went south to Guangdong, where it was defeated by the besieged enemy on all sides.

Yang Zhicheng and hundreds of officers and men retreated to Sanheba, where they joined forces commanded by Nanchang rebel Zhu De. After the rest of the Nanchang Uprising Army led by Zhu De moved to southern Hunan, it was renamed the First Division of the Revolutionary Army of Workers and Peasants, and Yang Zhicheng served as an adjutant in HQ.

After listening to Yang Zhicheng's long speech, Wu Daoqing was a little surprised and thought silently: "I didn't expect him to experience such a difficult life at a young age!" At this time, one thing she was eager to know was Yang Zhicheng's marriage, so she blurted out: "You have been out for six years, so you must miss your wife very much?"

Hearing this sudden question, Yang Zhicheng was surprised and embarrassed. He breathed a sigh of relief, as if this would eliminate his inner difficulties. He told Wu Daoqing frankly: "What wife? This is a family arranged marriage, and I am not satisfied at all! " He was silent for a while, and then added, "Actually, I sent a registered letter to my family four years ago, asking her not to wait for me, and to tell others as soon as there were no children to drag me down. Later, I went to the Whampoa Military Academy and wrote to my family and mentioned it again. She must be dead. Over the years, I don't know what happened to her, and I have long lost this concern. "

Wu Daoqing froze again. The kind girl knows that she accidentally poked a sore spot in his heart, but she feels a sense of sureness. This contradictory psychological activity makes her beautiful eyebrows tightly knit together, and she doesn't know what to say with her head slightly lowered.

Yang Zhicheng saw Wu Daoqing bowed their heads and remained silent, feeling uneasy. He said slowly and solemnly, "Daoqing, don't you see that I like you so much!" "

Yang Zhicheng showed his intention in good faith. At the age of 25, he longs for love. Ever since I first met Wu Daoqing in Leiyang, he has been fascinated by this beautiful and pure girl, and her lively personality attracted him so strongly that day. However, shortly after meeting Wu Daoqing, the situation in southern Hunan changed. He never saw her again and couldn't find her. During his stay in Jinggangshan, he missed this lovely little sister, but decided never to see her again! What Yang Zhicheng didn't expect was that when he was disappointed, the reality opened the horizon of hope. What can shake the soul and arouse passionate love more than the reunion of two people in the hospital? Yang Zhicheng is not a glib talker. His frankness and sincerity are fully reflected in the sentence "I like you very much".

At this time, Wu Daoqing also felt a sense of satisfaction and happiness that he had never had before. She stared at Yang Zhicheng's dignified and deep face, slightly cocked her lips, and a soft voice came out of her throat with some difficulty: "Brother Zhicheng, I like you very much!"

Yang Zhicheng heard each other's heartfelt confession, and her heart trembled strongly. He saw Wu Daoqing's oval-shaped white face, glowing with Xia Hong's blush, and a few drops of glittering and translucent tears spilled from the corner of his eyes, which was as touching as falling pear blossoms, and he couldn't help but feel surge of emotion. He took Wu Daoqing's hand and stared at her with burning eyes.

I can't help but feel deeply. The lovers embraced each other. Yang Zhicheng kissed Wu Daoqing on the cheek for the first time, which opened the door to their romance.

In mid-July, according to the 28th and 29th regiments of GongSiJun, they will attack Chaling and Lingxian from Kangning. However, Yang Zhicheng's injury has not yet healed, and he was appointed as the deputy director of the rear office of the military region, and at the same time, he is in charge of the logistics organs.

The representative of Mao Ping Red Army Hospital is Zhao. Yang Zhicheng reported her love affair with Wu Daoqing to the party representative and applied for marriage in writing. It was approved a few days later.

Dean Cao Rong, Director Dong Qingyun and Dr. Wu Huiguo were very enthusiastic about the marriage of Yang Zhicheng and Wu Daoqing, and made a room for them as a bridal chamber in the front hall of the Red Army Grain Depot. One day at the end of July, Yang Zhicheng and Wu Daoqing held a special wedding in the hall of Panlong Academy. The hall was full of light wounded and medical staff, and people were laughing happily together. Some people saw that the bride was handsome and expected to sing, so they made a request. Without delay, Wu Daoqing generously sang the song "The Times Are Too Unfair Now" sung by Wu in Leiyang. Her sweet singing won everyone's applause. It was also suggested that the groom sing a song in return. Yang Zhicheng refused, and slowly sang a unique folk song "Two Birds with Chinese fir Tail" in eastern Guizhou.

With the arrival of the enemy's third "encirclement and suppression" of the Jinggangshan base area in Hunan and Jiangxi, the love life of Yang Zhicheng and Wu Daoqing ended. The grim military situation brought them the result of never meeting again. A few days before the main force of GongSiJun went down the mountain, Yang Zhicheng was very surprised to learn that his wife had stayed in Jinggangshan for more than five months. At the same time, there are Duan Ziying, pregnant wife of Wang Zhancheng, chief of staff of the 28th regiment, and Gu Zhiying, wife of Zhou Wei, battalion commander of the 3rd battalion of the 31st regiment.

Military orders are like mountains, but Wu Daoqing didn't.

There is nothing to say. This strong woman

Soldiers, just tearfully said to her husband:

"Zhicheng, you should come back early!"

Yang Zhi becomes your tears.

Wife, nod hard.

Loving couples never thought that this breakup would make it difficult for them to meet again in their lives!

1929 65438+1On October 30th, Jinggangshan was attacked by the enemy, and Wu Daoqing and the Gongwu Army broke through and retreated to Gannan.

Dafen broke through the battle, she couldn't move and left the team. The soldiers drove away like a whirlwind, and she couldn't keep up. She walked more than ten miles in the direction of the troops' retreat and arrived at a village when it was dark. There is a local tyrant in the village who has no children. He found Wu Daoqing, who was extremely tired and hungry. You can tell at a glance that he is a Red Army who rushed out of Jinggangshan. Seeing that the other party was pregnant, the local tyrants wanted the child in her belly and hid her in an old brick kiln. Wu Daoqing was injured in the violent walk, caught a cold and fell ill, and could not escape, so he had to be at the mercy of this local tyrant. By the end of April, Wu Daoqing gave birth to a boy. The local tyrants let her feed her for four months, so they forced the child to be a son and sold Wu Daoqing to a farmer who cut wood for a living in Dafen as his wife.

Wu Daoqing is in Dafen, eagerly waiting for the news that GongSiJun returned to Jinggangshan. Half a year has passed, 10 months have passed, and the news is getting worse and worse. It is said that Zhu Mao's team was driven away by the enemy. Wu Daoqing wanted to go to Gannan to find Yang Zhicheng, but she was pregnant with the child of Chai Nong. She has less and less courage to go to Gannan. She is only in Lacrimosa all day, and she is very miserable. 1936 In April, Wu Daoqing and her firewood husband took their children back to their hometown in Leiyang.

Yang Zhicheng, who is far away in Gannan Soviet Area, always misses Wu Daoqing. During his stay in the Central Soviet Area, Yang Zhicheng repeatedly asked people to inquire about the whereabouts of Wu Daoqing, but found nothing. 1934 10, Yang Zhicheng, a former director of the logistics department of the Red Army, participated in the Long March and made it difficult to reach northern Shaanxi. In view of his repeated injuries and poor health during the eight-year war, the central authorities arranged for him to go to the Soviet Union for treatment and recuperation. During his eight years in the Soviet Union, Yang Zhicheng still remembered Wu Daoqing. He wrote to Leiyang, Hunan Province several times by international mail to inquire about Wu Daoqing's hometown, but there was no reply. From 65438 to 0946, Yang Zhicheng returned to China to participate in the Liberation War and served as the logistics department minister of the Northeast Field Army. In the early days of the founding of New China, Yang Zhicheng constantly inquired about the whereabouts of Wu Daoqing, and invited Wu Yunfu, a leading cadre of Leiyang nationality who visited the old revolutionary base areas in the south of the Central Soviet Area, to help find Wu Daoqing. Only then did I know that Wu Daoqing had followed the situation of others in order to survive in adversity. Yang Zhicheng sighed deeply, and then decided to find another life partner.

Life and death
