Nowadays, China's scientific and technological level is very developed, coupled with China's open two-child policy, many couples are willing to have children. But in the past, having children was a very dangerous thing, whether in ancient times or modern times, due to the low level of medical care, having children was a very risky thing, and the most tragic situation was the death of wives and children.
Therefore, in the course of the Chinese army's Long March, the most difficult problem was not hunger, but the problem of female soldiers giving birth. In this regard, the military leadership at that time considered the hardships of the Long March, and generally let those pregnant female soldiers stay in a safe place, but some pregnant female soldiers were still in the Long March team, such as He Zizhen and Chen Huiqing.
According to records, at that time, during the Long March, He Zizhen felt a strange shape in her stomach when she crossed the Chishui River, and the fetus in her stomach was already eager to come out, so in the rainy night of the same day, He Zizhen gave birth. When she gave birth, the Chinese army was being chased by the enemy and the situation was very critical.
Due to the urgency of the situation, the baby was not well taken care of, and the body was washed with the soldier's rice bowl. After He Zizhen gave birth to a child, because she did not make up her body and was well taken care of, her body became weaker and weaker day by day, and she had many problems, so in an enemy air raid attack, He Zizhen was shot.
However, He Zizhen's situation is still relatively good, after all, her child is still born very smoothly, and Chen Huiqing is not so lucky. Chen Huiqing had a difficult birth situation at that time, and there were not many doctors in the Long March team at that time, and there was no medical equipment, which made Chen Huiqing very painful.
At that time, because the enemy was pursuing, in order to let Chen Huiqing give birth safely in this critical situation, the Chinese army stopped and began to attack the enemy troops in the rear, in order to buy Chen Huiqing time to give birth. At that time, there were still people who objected, thinking that it was wrong to waste the army plan for a baby, but Dong Zhentang's words made those who opposed it speechless.
Dong Zhentang said: "Fighting is to let children have a good future, if a baby can't keep it, what about the future?" "But these are just two examples, when babies born to female Soldiers of the Red Army during the Long March rarely survived, after all, fragile lives could easily be whimpered if they were not well taken care of at birth.
Therefore, at that time, the most difficult problem in the Long March team was not hunger, but the problem of women in the team giving birth to children. What do you think about that? Leave a comment in the comment below and say what you think.
