According to the memories of the veterans of the Fifth Army who lived in the lower reaches of Mudanjiang in those days, one day in the summer of 1937, comrades from the Secretariat of the Provincial Party Committee came to the jungle camp and brought a tall, handsome and quiet woman in her twenties to tell everyone, "Today, I will transfer you to a culture teacher named Leng Yun."
Leng Yun spent more than a year in the Fifth Army of the Anti-Japanese Union, living in the primitive dense forest, and living in caves most of the time. At first, she worked as a culture teacher. Every evening, officers and men gather in the glade, watching the female teacher write on the bark of birch with charred branches and patiently teach everyone to read. Later, considering her political maturity and organizational leadership, she was sent to the women's group as an instructor. At this time, Leng Yun was pregnant and ran hard in the mountains with a big belly every day.
1In the summer of 938, the Japanese Kwantung Army joined forces with the puppet Mongols and Manchukuo to launch a "Three Rivers Crusade" against the lower reaches of the Songhua River. The fourth and fifth armies of the Northeast Anti-United Front marched westward in order to get rid of difficulties and open up new activity areas. Leng Yun, who just gave birth to a child for two months, also led dozens of women's groups to set off with the First Division of the Fifth Army. The troops of the Western Expedition lost most of their personnel and were forced to return. There were only 100 people left in the first division. They hid in the dense forest for 27 days and marched without a grain of rice. They lived by picking wild fruits and eating mushrooms. Leng Yun, who was weak, led the remaining eight members of the women's team (including three Korean lesbians) and persisted in coming down. 10 In late June, the troops marched to the Wushun River near Diaoling, linkou county, and were surrounded by Xionggu troops of the Japanese invaders. In order to cover the troops' breakthrough, Leng Yun led the female soldiers to fight until they ran out of ammunition, and they died together in the river.
Zhou Baozhong, Commander-in-Chief of the Second Route Army of the Northeast Anti-Union, immediately wrote that "there should be a heroine on the Mudanjiang River in Wu Si in the future". What makes Leng Yun respectable is that she is a heroine completely different from the old-fashioned women.
In the arduous struggle of Linhai Xueyuan, which is rare in the history of Northeast Anti-Japanese Union, Leng Yun and others insisted on making greater efforts than men, which was also a driving force to inspire male commanders. The old-style armed Northeast Volunteer Army only struggled for more than a year and then broke up one after another. But * * * leadership of the Anti-Union can persist for many years. The difference lies in whether there is revolutionary consciousness or not. It is under the education and leadership of the Party that Leng Yun and others can work so hard, and their fighting spirit is far from comparable to that of old-fashioned women. According to China's traditional concept of moral integrity, Leng Yun is naturally not a "martyr". In pursuit of national and personality liberation, she abandoned her ex-husband and pursued a new love and life. From the perspective of national liberation and women's liberation, Leng Yun is a heroine in the modern sense. The spirit of "eight women throwing themselves into the river" is not only unwilling to be humiliated, but also embodied in the heroic spirit of fighting the national enemy to the end.
Leng Yun is tall and fair-skinned. She dedicated her beautiful youth to the cause of national liberation.
With the reputation of "eloping", she secretly went up the mountain to participate in the anti-union.
