March 1949 was less than a few months before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Just before a better tomorrow was coming, a general who was once high-spirited on the battlefield took the initiative to end his life at the age of 37.
A new world is about to open, and the goal he is fighting for is about to be achieved, why did this battle-hardened general commit suicide at this time?
Doll General
The general who committed suicide was originally named Han Shuiqing, born in Xin'an County, Henan Province in 1912, and after participating in the revolution, everyone affectionately called him Xiao Han.
Xiao Han's family is a very typical peasant family, when he was young in Xin'an, Henan Province, and gradually began to understand things, it was the time when the May Fourth Movement was in full swing.
It was also under the influence of the May Fourth Movement that the young Han had a different understanding of the revolution. He was serious and hard at school, he even wanted to change his fate, and it was very important to learn knowledge.
In 1925, with his excellent results, he was admitted to Luoyang No. 8 Junior High School.
At that time, in school, he was discriminated against by some ** children in the school because he was born in a peasant family.
The chilling thing is that instead of claiming justice for him at that time, the school directly ordered him to drop out of school.
After dropping out of the No. 8 Junior High School, he was re-admitted to the No. 4 Higher Normal College in Luoyang with excellent results.
However, in this school, after studying for a few years, he was directly expelled from the school in the name of participating in the social science research association because he and his classmates organized a social science research association.
These two dropouts did not make Xiao Han retreat, but strengthened his determination to revolutionize. In 1931, Xiao Han went to work as an auditor at a university in Peiping, where he became acquainted with some Communist Party members.
Sympathetic to the revolutionary ideals of the Communist Party, in the spring of 1932, he officially joined the Communist Youth League of China, and in that year, he joined other members of the Communist Youth League in the parade of the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army.
Unfortunately, he and the rest of the regiment were arrested by the counter-revolutionaries.
In prison, he was subjected to very cruel punishments, and his enemies tried to torture him to force him to tell about the Communist Party.
But he preferred to die, and after many times of persecution to no avail, the enemy decided to execute Xiao Han.
Even so, he still did not give in, and his integrity was seen by the leaders of our party who participated in the parade at that time, and they were deeply moved.
So in prison, under the witness of our party leaders, he officially joined the Communist Party of China and became a member of the Communist Party of China.
Later, under the rescue of the Communist Party, in 1936, the relevant students who participated in the parade were successfully rescued, and Xiao Han was one of them.
After being released from prison, Han began to participate more actively in revolutionary activities. Under the guidance of the party organization, he went to Shanxi, established the Shanxi New Army, and confronted the warlord Yan Xishan at that time.
Yan Xishan is also a very outstanding talent in the military field, and after fighting Xiao Han many times, he appreciates his talent very much.
has repeatedly revealed to Xiao Han that he is willing to promote his idea, hoping to pull Xiao Han into his camp.
However, Xiao Han has always been unswerving, and no matter whether the other party is coerced or enticed, he cannot shake his determination to make a revolution for the Communist Party.
The Shanxi New Army led by him also developed rapidly in a very short period of time.
In 1942, when our number and strength were seriously insufficient, we annihilated the special forces led by Sasaki Satoshi of Japan at that time.
In the war, he was indomitable and won the war many times by virtue of his excellent command and leadership ability. This kind of talent displayed by him in the military field was quickly recognized by the senior leaders of our party.
At that time, I also heard of Xiao Han, and when I learned that Xiao Han had faced the enemy's coercion and temptation many times, he had always unswervingly done things for our party, and he had very unique views on military affairs, so he began to reuse him.
At that time, Xiao Han was only in his early 30s. In the eyes of ***, this general is still a little doll, and before he was appointed to fight on the front line, he was very affectionately called General Doll.
Poor decision-making
In 1945, under the instructions of ***, he led a large army to Taihang District, and the purpose of this trip was to support.
Before leaving, he deliberately left a part of his soldiers in the rear.
After that, he himself led a large army to the front, and he never imagined at that time that this incident would become the biggest regret of his life after that.
After he left, the Kuomintang spies coerced and enticed Shangguan Ziping and Li Guiwu, who had not yet joined the Communist Party at that time, and finally revealed the key information of our side under the ** of the enemy.
It was precisely because of Shangguan Ziping's betrayal that more than 200 soldiers of Li Guiwu and the Red Army soldiers, who remained in the rear at that time, suffered heavy losses.
Xiao Han, who received the news at the front, was anxious when he learned about it.
But the front-line war is still tight, and he can't leave the front line at this time, so he can only deal with the front-line affairs before going back.
And when he rushed back to the rear, of the more than 200 fighters left in the rear, only a few dozen remained, and our rear lost 133 Red Army soldiers.
Subsequently, he led the remaining soldiers to advance into western Henan, and finally achieved a comprehensive victory through strong combat capabilities.
After the victory, he did not feel happy.
At that time, he was given a generous reward for his meritorious service in battle, and he was even awarded the Medal of Honor. But for him, each of these medals of honor was like a sword pressed against his chest.
He can always think of those soldiers who died innocently and tragically because of his own decisions, and when he dreams back at midnight, he often thinks of the 133 old Red Army soldiers who died heroically.
In March 1949, under the long-term mental torture, Xiao Han finally chose to use a pistol that had accompanied him for many years to end his life, and he was forever fixed before the age of 37.
Xiao Han is definitely a hero, and his death is sad.
But no matter what, it was not his fault that he died in the war, and his contributions to the motherland are definitely worth remembering by everyone.
