10 years old, my father went to Kanmen alone and was hired to fish. In addition to his personal life, he earned a little money. At that time, the family was really unable to open the pot. My mother looked at our skinny sisters and said to me, "Son, I really can't stand it. Go to the teaching field (Kanmen) and ask your father for some money. " I nodded, boarded a small sampan with paddles, and jumped on the sea for several hours until I came to Kanmen. I thought I could have a good meal after I found my father. Who knows ABBA squatted there with his head in his hands, and his black and thin face showed a painful expression.
"I'm sorry, son, I lost all that money." It turned out that when someone saw that Dad was in a hurry for money, they joined forces and instigated Dad to take part in gambling. The greedy father couldn't stand the temptation and finally lost all the money in his pocket. Really worse!
When my father and I got home, the stove was cold and the hut was empty. The whole family is together, and no one talks, only hearing the sighs of their parents. ...
Life is more difficult, so I can only take my sister-in-law up the mountain to dig shallots, pick up some rotten fish and shrimp on the beach, and help my family live a life without a meal. At this time, my father caught a fish for a fisherman in the same village and was caught and beaten by Kuomintang soldiers at sea. He suffered a stroke shortly after returning to China and died two years later, leaving a miserable family.
195 1 year, I 14 years old. Because my father was ill in bed, the family lost its main pillar. My mother called me to her side in tears in all kinds of helpless situations and said to me, "My child is not cruel, I really can't do anything …" In fact, I knew the news a few days ago. My mother wanted to marry me, but I couldn't believe it was true. This sentence was finally said by my mother. Looking at my father lying in bed and my tearful mother, I thought, is this the only way out? When will this difficult time end?
Finally, I became a "bride". He, my husband, is older than me 14 years old, and I am only 14 years old at this time. I cried for three whole nights, for myself, for this family, for this painful time! After I got married with Tong Qiao, two things touched me greatly. One is a man who came back from Wenzhou and told what he saw and heard in Wenzhou, vividly telling the newly liberated Wenzhou. It is from these words that I learned about the PLA. The other is that there are two Kuomintang soldiers.
Pretending to be the People's Liberation Army, he gave a villager two silver dollars. The next day, a group of Kuomintang soldiers searched his house and found the two silver dollars. Some people assert that there is a People's Liberation Army in the village. If you don't hand it over to the People's Liberation Army, the village will give each household 20 Jin of firewood. This is obviously a rip-off! One is what I heard and the other is what I saw. With this contrast, I can't wait for the PLA to come here early to liberate us who are suffering.
1952 65438+1October 15 The third battle of Jiefang Dongtou started. At 4 o'clock in the morning, before dawn, the fierce gunfire woke the sleeping people. However, no one dared to open the door, just hiding in a place where one can hide, for fear of accidents. At this time, a group of Kuomintang soldiers crashed into my house.
"quick! Boil some water for us! " They said to me in a commanding tone.
The soldiers retreated in panic before the water boiled. After a while, another group of soldiers rushed out with red ribbons tied to their right arms. This is the People's Liberation Army, our own army. They came to my house to drink the water I cooked. At this moment, I can no longer stand it, rushed out of the door and shouted:
"The people's liberation army is coming! The People's Liberation Army is coming! "
The head leaned out of the door, and then every household opened the door, and men, women and children came out. At this time, the day is already bright, and the morning breeze is not cold, but it is refreshing.
All Kuomintang soldiers retreated to the coffin pit. They cut down all the pine trees on the mountain, tore down the only access to the coffin pit: a wooden bridge more than ten feet long, and built a dark castle at the bridge head as a final struggle.
At the beginning of the general attack, there were more than 100 residents on the island of coffin depression. Fearing that the people would be affected, the PLA did not use heavy artillery, but only stormed with light weapons.
A class rushed up and fell down. ...
Another class rushed up, and no one was spared. ...
The fighting lasted for three days and nights. Most of the PLA soldiers in a battalion died under coffins, and the blood stained the sea red. ...
We have been boiling water for the troops. The water is ready, we can't carry it on our shoulders, we can only carry it by hand and wrap the cat around our waist to the front. We sent water, but we brought back the bodies of PLA soldiers! On the flat ground, rows of PLA soldiers were alive and kicking just now, and after a while they lay quietly under a white cloth, while their uncles and aunts were crying and wiping their blood. ...
The people's liberation army launched a more violent attack. In the end, except for a small number of remaining bandits who fled from the sea, all the defenders were killed and surrendered. The five-star red flag was finally planted in Guanchao Mountain, and the Dongtou people saw the light of day again. People rushed to tell each other: "liberated!" 1953 an armed task force was set up in Beisha. With their help, youth groups, women's clubs, children's groups and other organizations were set up in every village. Just liberated, public security is chaotic, and everyone is very vigilant. Children's groups stand guard and ask strangers. Under the organization of the Youth League, the villagers set off an upsurge of doing good for the army. At that time, there were no roads and cars in Beisha, and all the supplies, ammunition and other military supplies of the troops were brought in by sea. The boat can only stop at the entrance of Dawangdian Village. The bridge from the entrance of the palace to the troops stationed is a mountain road. Whenever ships carrying troops' supplies arrive, the masses spontaneously gather to deliver supplies for the troops in droves. On the mountain road, people are like long queues, and no one is heavy. Everyone's heart is United: the PLA has sacrificed so many lovely soldiers to liberate Dongtou, so it is right for us to do something for the army.
Then, the army began to build national defense, and the masses spontaneously divided into two groups: one group, with women as the main body, helped the army with logistics work; A regiment, with men as the main force, participated in national defense construction, cut mountains and roads, dug trenches and built tunnels. The army uses a pneumatic drill, but the people can't use this guy, so they carry it on their shoulders to help with slag discharge. From the beginning, the relationship between the army and the people seemed as harmonious as fish and water.
1955 The People's Armed Forces Department of Beisha Township was established. Under the organization of the People's Armed Forces Department and the army, a militia team was established, with a company in the township and a platoon in Tongqiao Village, including some women militia. The militiamen were born in poverty, suffering from hardships, and their hatred for the old society, love for the new society and love for the people's soldiers were all manifested in their high enthusiasm for work. My first thought is that the army construction is tense and there must be someone in the rear. So, I took several female militiamen to the army to help wash clothes, farm land, raise pigs, and sometimes participate in national defense construction. At first, the soldiers refused to take out their dirty clothes. They always hide dirty clothes and quilts. As soon as the women militia and other troops got off work, they rushed into the barracks, found out the soldiers' dirty clothes and quilts, dried them, folded them, and then rushed to find something else to do. I always feel it is a great honor to do something for the soldiers. I'm not afraid of doing things, but I'm afraid I have nothing to do. Since the formation of the militia, the military and civilians have become a family, and the joint defense between the military and civilians centered on "joint training, joint defense and joint defense" has developed more vigorously.
1958, People's Commune. In Dongsha village, there are 10 women who organized the "Ten Sisters of Kelp" class. They are all experts in production and training. When they knew that the army lacked brown ropes for kelp cultivation, they mobilized a large number of women, cut off their hair and gave it to the army to form a rope for the army to cultivate kelp seedlings. This move moved the soldiers and all the militiamen, and there were countless good deeds between the army and the people. This year, Chairman Mao issued a call for "organizing militia divisions" and "all the people are soldiers" to the whole country, and militia companies were established in every village. The female militia set up a platoon separately, and the "Ten Sisters of Kelp" were incorporated into this platoon, and I served as the platoon leader. With the participation of "Ten Sisters of Kelp", the strength of female militia has been strengthened, and joint defense, joint training and party work have entered a new stage. Everyone put all their strength into this work without reservation.
1At the beginning of May, 959, the troops stationed in Jiao Yuan Town 15 Company was ordered to go to Hutouyu to dig tunnels, which lasted more than 20 days. One day, there was a sudden news: the soldiers on the isolated island had no water for several days! Hearing this news, everyone from the army to the local government, from the PLA commanders to the militia, was very anxious. At this time, there has been a strong wind on the sea for several days, and the traffic has been interrupted. What should I do? The difficulties of the army are our difficulties! I made a decisive decision, took a few militiamen and women, drove a small sampan, and came to Hutou Island with buckets of fresh water against the seven winds and waves. Hutouyu is an uninhabited desert island with steep mountains and no roads. People can only crawl on the ridge. At the foot of the mountain is the surging waves, beating the rocks and making a deafening sound. If you accidentally roll down the mountain, the consequences will be unimaginable. It is in this environment that we sent buckets of fresh water to the mountains and supported the national defense construction of the army. In this process, the amazing courage and perseverance of the female militia won high praise from everyone. 1960 On April 23rd, the National Militia Congress was held in Beijing. Tang Shengluan, secretary of Dongtou Working Committee, and I attended the meeting. This is an unforgettable day! The party and the state * * * attended the meeting, which was widely held in Huairen Hall, Zhongnanhai.
All the representatives attended the meeting. When Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou, Commander-in-Chief Zhu and other central leaders passed by the delegates, people were boiling, and I shed tears of happiness as excited as everyone else! As a representative of the militia, there are not many people who speak at the meeting, and I am one of them. In the face of tens of thousands of people, I talked about Dongtou people, Dongtou militia and Dongtou military and civilian defense. ...
Chairman Mao was very happy to meet us personally, but some people were dissatisfied and asked to take a photo with Chairman Mao. I thought this was something I never dreamed of, but Chairman Mao readily agreed! That day, we waited for Chairman Mao's arrival in Huairentang with great excitement, and everyone dared not speak loudly. At this moment, General Luo Ruiqing came and said, "Chairman Mao has delayed. I will take pictures with you tomorrow. " The next day, April 26th, 1960, Chairman Mao came and sat among the delegates. I was in the first row, with Chairman Mao. I saw Chairman Mao turn his head and say to me with a smile, "Do you want me to join you as a militia?" The thick Hunan accent is so kind! Chairman Mao wants to be a militia in our militia! At this moment, I couldn't say anything, just kept clapping. ...
In this interview, Zhejiang has 16 militia representatives, including me and Li Guofu. I was so excited that I stayed up all night. When we came out of Huairentang, a large group of reporters gathered around to let me talk about my feelings. I really feel a lot. I am a fisherman girl who is not sensible. It was the People's Liberation Army that saved me from the fire pit. It was * * * that gave me a new life. It is socialism that has pointed out my life path. Without Chairman Mao and * * *, there would be no Wang today; All I did was to repay Chairman Mao's kindness, but I was honored by this honor. I attended the National Militia Congress, received by Chairman Mao, took a photo with Chairman Mao, and accepted the first batch of semi-automatic rifles produced in China presented by Chairman Mao. How can I not get excited? All this is not only an honor, but also a spur to my future work. Only by redoubling my efforts can I live up to the expectations of Chairman Mao, villagers and the People's Liberation Army. After the National Militia Congress and Beijing International Labor Day, I stopped by Nanjing and put forward the idea of establishing a women's company to the Nanjing Military Region. The head of the military region unanimously agreed to my suggestion. After returning to Dongtou, I immediately set out to form a women's militia company. In June, l960, "Beisha Women's Militia Company" (later renamed as "Dongtou Women's Militia Company") was established. On the basis of the original women's militia platoon, the women's company expanded the "Red Flag Ten Sisters" in Dongsha, the "Seven Sisters Production Class" in Geweijiao and the "March 8th Dongfeng Production Team" headed by Chen Yulan. I'm the company commander, and Liang Aiju, a teacher at Beisha Primary School, is a political instructor. A month later, Chen Yulan took over as a lecturer.
The establishment of women's companies has not been smooth sailing. Many people are against women joining the militia, especially their families. They think that mixing with the army will be gossiped, and it is not decent to walk around in the mud all day. We do ideological work separately and publicize it in various forms, and the army also educates the masses in a way of remembering bitter experiences and thinking sweet. Wang Putao, a very delicate girl, is very enthusiastic about joining the women's group, but her mother doesn't agree, so she has to quietly train and perform with the women's group. Later, after many times of work, her mother finally agreed. Wang Putao performed well in the militia company, and was soon promoted to platoon leader and became a special forces shooter. Zheng Yuxiang's mother, with little feet, is very opposed to her daughter joining the militia. We visited the house several times, and finally she said, "Chairman Mao is so supportive of the militia, let her go!" Then, I personally mobilized my daughter-in-law to join the women's company ...
1962, Beisha Commune is divided into two joint defense zones: the joint defense zone of the Sixth Company and the joint defense zone of the 82nd Artillery Company. The joint defense zone of Liulian has four brigades, namely Tongqiao, Chai 'ao, Dawangdian and Geweijiao, and the women's company has been reorganized into four platoons 1 1 class accordingly. There is 12 mountain ao in the joint defense zone of the sixth company. At that time, Chiang Kai-shek called for a crazy counterattack against the mainland, often sending spies to the mainland to make trouble, and anti-communist propaganda materials at sea were also common. All the soldiers of the female company bit their fingers, wrote a bloody book, and asked to assign a position to the female company alone. The position is in Chai 'ao village, and the first guard is 18 day and night. Some women militia held their ground with their children. The slogan of the female militia is: "Men are air conditioners, and women should live up to expectations!"
Since then, the women militia have carried out tasks unimaginable to ordinary people with superhuman perseverance: production, training, national defense construction, cultural performances, political studies, and literacy at night schools. ...
1In April, 1964, Albanian President Xie Hu visited China, lived in Hangzhou, and was ordered to watch militia performances. The provincial military region sent a car to pick me up. As soon as I arrived in Hangzhou, I took part in the filming performance. Performances include precision shooting, balloons,
Flat color plate, fixed rapid fire, mobile rapid fire, matches, etc. I participated in all the performances of the competitions and achieved good results. The leader of Albania was very happy. He stepped down from the viewing platform and gave me a warm hug. He looked at the flowered clothes I was wearing and asked, "Why do your militia wear this kind of clothes?" I was inexplicably asked by him, what to wear without this dress? Don't talk about clothes, even the usual training, we are purely voluntary, without any reward! In the hearts of every soldier in our company, selfless dedication is the spiritual pillar. It is precisely because of this spiritual pillar that the company has firmly attracted generations of female militia like a magnet, and has gone through a difficult and brilliant 40-year course with the company! 1in the autumn of 966, during the Cultural Revolution, Dongtou also moved. Zhang Fuchang of Tongqiao Village connected several people in series and organized a counter-revolutionary organization called "East China Sea Fleet". They prepared steel knives and explosives and stole a pistol from the sixth company command platoon. Their plan is: the first step is to use the opportunity of the film to blow up the Sixth Company, the second step is to grab weapons, the third step is to hijack me, and then go to sea to defect. Because the pistol was stolen, both the army and the militia attached great importance to it. While strengthening the efforts to solve the case, everyone strengthened the protection measures for me. In the past month, the militia of the female company, especially Zhou Huanyou, a Ryan soldier in the army, can be said to be guarding me day and night. I am so tired that I am almost down, and I am not at ease. I know in my heart that they are not only guarding me, but also the woman and even the red flag.
1In the winter of 966, I attended a reception in Nanjing Military Region. At the meeting, Wang Lanying made a speech entitled "Raise the red flag during the day and raise the white flag at night". My speech is "Either the fish dies or the net breaks". These two speeches were published in the East China Sea Militia magazine, and then I was involved in this unprecedented political movement.
1967, the day of "National Red". Urged by Nanping and Xiong Yingtang, I returned to Dongtou from Nanking, and bad luck began to befall me. I was cut off my hair, took off my shoes, put up signs and marched in the street. That night, I was locked in the public security bureau, and suddenly someone rushed in from the outside, grabbed my chest and shouted, "XXX, I finally caught you today!" " "Then push, I rolled down the stairs and went into shock on the spot. Two toenails were uncovered, bleeding all over the floor, and were carried back to Tongqiao's hometown by the masses. The next day, the people who attacked Wuwei drove a truck to catch me, and the masses surrounded me with three floors inside and three outside to protect me. People who "attack the martial arts with words" returned to North Austria, holding guns and even shooting at the masses to demonstrate! He was taken to criticism and continued to be beaten and tortured. I have to shout "Long live Chairman Mao!" In order to alleviate the physical pain.
In the big playground in the north of the county, my mother supported me and accompanied me to criticize. ...
In Ding Cun, Dong 'ao, I warned the militia at the top of Dong 'ao Mountain to punish them. ...
In Dongtou village, I was forced to stand barefoot on the hot tap water pipe and bask in the sun, saying that I was "confessing to Chairman Mao" ...
I was carried back to Tongqiao on a stretcher, but some people still wouldn't let go. I lay on a stretcher all night and fainted. ...
Women's companies have also been implicated. Those who "attack the martial arts with words" talked to the instructor many times and asked her to bring some female militia to deal with me. After being rejected, they said that "Wang is a demon and the female group is a demon" and set up a "demon-catching fighting team" to work with the female group. Some supporters of the women's group also formed an "invincible fighting team" to compete with the "monster hunt fighting team". In this political movement, although the women's group has suffered some shocks because of me, everyone has always stood on the right line. The slogan of the female company is: "No one is allowed to join any faction. As long as you follow the garrison company, the female company will do it!" During this period, the joint defense work with the troops has never been interrupted, especially Chen Yulan and other major leaders, who straightened their backs and presided over the work of the women's company.
197 1 year, after the Lin Biao incident, the Fourth National People's Congress was held, and I was elected as a deputy to the National People's Congress. This number of delegates has caused great controversy. Some people only spent 1000 yuan to send telegrams to reflect their opinions to their superiors!
Later, I was appointed as the Standing Committee member and Deputy Secretary of Dongtou County Committee, specializing in the work of women's companies.
At this time, in order to consolidate the organization and stabilize the personnel, the women's company began to set up a factory, which was headed by Wang, the deputy instructor. Although for many reasons, the women's group company has repeatedly failed to set up a factory, but the women's group company is still like an indestructible iron wall! The women militia are still fighting closely together.
From the end of 1974 to the beginning of 1975, fighting broke out in Dongtou again, and the troops stationed on the island 64 15 also intervened. After that, the troops were transferred to Suqian, Jiangsu Province, and the model company of military-civilian joint defense, Liulian, which fought side by side with the female soldier company for nearly 20 years, was also transferred.
The women's team lacked the most powerful care, supporters and cultivators, but the red flag of the women's team did not fall. Together with the new 83245 troops, we resumed solid military-civilian joint defense work ... 1976 After smashing the Gang of Four, the Fifth National People's Congress was held, and I was re-elected as a deputy to the National People's Congress and a member of the presidium. At that meeting, I was elected as a member of the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC). During the meeting, the party and the country received me, and Comrade Li Xiannian took a group photo with me as a souvenir. Then, he attended the 11th National Congress of the Party. At this time, I am the nominal company commander of the women's company, and the successor is Xu, a girl who is only 20 years old. Two years later, she was named the national "New Long March Assaulter".
1In August, 978, the provincial military region held a militia congress. At the meeting, I performed a series of shooting performances of five weapons: heavy machine guns, light machine guns, submachine guns, semi-automatic rifles and Soviet rifles. After the performance, I was called to talk by the leader of the organization department of the provincial party Committee. After that, I became the county party secretary of Dongtou County. Then he was nominated as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and served as a member of the Provincial Party Committee for two consecutive sessions (six or seven sessions).
1982, no more female company commanders.
1983, elected deputy director of Wenzhou Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee.
1984, the women's group formed a larger whole group, a group of old players left the team, and the red flag of the women's group was passed on to the new generation. Company commander Chen Dongxiang swam12km with amazing perseverance during swimming training at 1975, and was known as the "East China Sea small gunboat". Instructor Wang, a famous sharpshooter, once attended the British Model Congress of the whole army as a special representative. Later, the instructor Wang partnered with the company commander. In the past five years, the company has participated in the competitions organized by the higher authorities for 20 times and won the championship again and again. 16 superior military report performance, excellent comprehensive evaluation results. The girls of the company are the vanguard in the joint defense between the army and the people. They take the lead in emergency rescue and disaster relief, set an example by hard work and become rich, and act as a propaganda team in spreading the new civilization. ...
Looking at the thriving new generation, I feel sincerely happy. Women connect with everyone in the class, and women will never fall down this red flag! Since its establishment, women have gone through 40 years of ups and downs. At the same time, with sincerity and persistence, it has also created 40 years of glory: 1960 10, the Ministry of National Defense recorded the second class as a female soldier company; In February, 65438+l965, the company was awarded the first class merit by the Provincial Ethnic Affairs Commission and the Provincial Military Region. 1September, 1978, the Provincial Revolutionary Committee and the Provincial Military Region awarded the Women's Company the honorary title of "Dongtou Pioneer Militia Company"; 1982 and l983 were awarded the title of "March 8th Red Flag Collective" by the All-China Women's Federation twice in a row; It has been rated as "advanced unit of militia work" by Nanjing Military Region and provincial military region for 8 times ... A series of honors come from the unremitting struggle of generations of female militia! The red flag of the female soldier company never fades because the blood and sweat of more than l800 soldiers have shone on it for 40 years, and the party, the government and the people's army have always dyed her red.
On April 8, 2000, General Chi Haotian, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission, State Councilor and Minister of National Defense, General Fang Zuqi, Political Commissar of Nanjing Military Region, Zhang Dejiang, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Governor Chai, and the leading comrades of the Political Commissar of the Provincial Military Region met me in Hangzhou, the capital. Vice President Chi fully affirmed the achievements made by the Women's Federation in the past 40 years, and encouraged the new generation of "Hai Xia" to cherish the honor, make persistent efforts, hold high the banner of Pioneer Company and inherit the spirit of "Hai Xia".
Now, I have retired from the leadership position, and the dashing female militia suddenly became an old woman. I will not give up my ambition when I retire, and I will continue to add luster to the flag of my companion in a limited year. ...
