1948, at a critical period of the War of Liberation, Chairman Mao issued an execution order.
He asked Nie Rongzhen General immediately shot and killed the Chief of Staff of Jizhong District Huang Shoufa . So what mistake did this person make? What about making the Chairman so angry that he shot a chief of staff despite the war?

Chairman Mao
Red Army generals
Huang Shoufa is not an ordinary person. He has not only experienced the Long March of the Red Army and the War of Resistance Against Japan, but also a capable general of General Nie Rongzhen.
Like most Red Army soldiers, he was born in a poor family in Fujian. In that war-torn era, eating a full meal was the most anticipated thing for the poor people. Due to the difficulty of life, Huang Shoufa not only grazed cattle for the landlords to see the mountains, but also worked as a bricklayer.
Because he lived at the bottom, he knew the difficulty of poor people. When Chairman Mao and Mr. Zhu led the troops into Western Fujian , launched the peasant movement, and promoted revolutionary ideas, Huang Shoufa, who was only 18 years old, realized communist thought and was deeply attracted by it. After that, he joined Red Guards without hesitation.

In the team, he found that the Red Army soldiers were all from poor families, and he also learned that the original intention of the establishment of this Red Army team was to make all poor people take charge of their own affairs. Huang Shoushan was like a fish in the Red Guards and performed very positively. Less than a year later, he joined the Red Army due to his outstanding performance.
It was also this year that Huang Shoufa joined our party and became a Communist Party member. In May 1931, in the anti-"encirclement and suppression" struggle, Huang Shoufa's team received the task assigned by his superiors to stick to the Jiucunling position.
At that time, the two divisions of the Kuomintang army were cut off by the Red Army. They launched a fierce attack on Jiucunling, trying to break through the Jiucunling defense line and fled forward. As a result, both enemy offensives were blocked by Huang Shoufa.

In the battle afterwards, Huang Shoufa fought bravely, made many military achievements, and was promoted to platoon leader by his superiors. In the second year, he was promoted to company commander.
Gradually, Huang Shoufa's fierce evaluation in the war was widely known in the Red Army. As a Red Army soldier, he also followed the large army to participate in the Long March 6, and is an old man with a deep qualification in the Red Army.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Huang Shoufa's troops were reorganized into the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army. During this period, Huang Shoufa led a squad of troops to destroy five Japanese cars.
Then in the battle of Yangeya, he relied on a few troops to resist the strength of the 20 Japanese regiments. At that time, the Japanese army had a lot of equipment, but Huang Shoufa destroyed more than 20 enemy cars with just one battle. It is not an exaggeration to say a young talent.

Pingxingguan Victory
Not long after this incident, Huang Shoufa participated in the battles of Pingxingguan and other battles. In the struggle between the anti-Japanese bases of the Jin-Chahar-Hebei region, he made many extraordinary achievements and played a key role in many important links. His various actions showed the courage and good combat of the Eighth Route Army.
In March 1939, Huang Shoufa was appointed by his superiors as the chief of staff of the first division of the Jin-Cha-Hebei Military Region, assisting Commander Yang Chengwu in military work.
At the end of October of the same year, commander Yang Chengwu went out to attend the meeting. Huang Shoufa, who was left at a garrison in a subdistrict, suddenly received information from the enemy. After analyzing the enemy's forward route, he and other generals believed that this was a great opportunity to eliminate the enemy, so Huang Shoufa decided to lead the two battalions to attack overnight, and finally annihilate all the Japanese troops who were going out to sweep them in Matianling.

After this incident, the famous Yansuya and Huangtuling fought. In these two battles, Huang Shoufa led the way, not only led his subordinates to annihilate more than 900 Japanese troops, but also seized a large amount of military supplies. Even Lieutenant General of the Japanese Commander, the Flower of the Japanese Army Abe Guixiu was shot dead by Huang Shoufa.
1940, the second phase of the Hundred Regiments Battle ushered in. At this time, the Lailing Battle started. In order to prevent thousands of Japanese and puppet troops from coming to reinforce, Huang Shoufa stared at the enemy with a huge gap in strength between the enemy and us, and did not let a single Japanese and puppet army come over. It was precisely because of Huang Shoufa’s powerful blocking that the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield had no worries.
In the autumn of 1941, the Japanese army suddenly carried out a large-scale mobilization operation on a subdistrict. During this sweep, Huang Shoufa made great achievements. At that time, the district organs, logistics and health personnel broke through in Tizigou, so he could only block the Japanese army behind the palace.

In order to allow more than a thousand comrades to break through smoothly, Huang Shoufa led the reconnaissance company to fight to the death, and finally let all personnel evacuate safely. For the sake of this matter, he was appointed by his superiors as the division commander of the 11th Army of Pingxi.
From a hero to a murderer
Huang Shoufa, who became the commander of the military region, was proud of his career. He was not only a victorious general who won every battle, but also an anti-Japanese hero in the hearts of the Red Army soldiers. As the saying goes, a beautiful woman matches a hero. While Huang Shoufa was successful in his career, he also gained love.
A lesbian from Tianjin was assigned by his superiors to work on radio stations. She was He Yin .
He Yin was born into a wealthy businessman family. Not only did she have a good family background, she was also beautiful and talented. She was a socialite in the upper class. However, He Yin actively participated in the revolution with her patriotic passion. After joining the Eighth Route Army, she quickly grew into the instructor of the military radio station.

Shortly after he arrived at the anti-Japanese base, He Yin married Huang Shoufa, the anti-Japanese hero at that time, through an introduction. Although her husband was from a poor peasant family, he made great achievements in combat. This marriage is a perfect match for men and women.
, good times did not last long. In order to liberate the lofty ideals of the whole of China, He Yin and her husband were separated from each other. Later, due to the different nature of their work, the couple also went from talking about everything when they were newly married, and later they developed into having nothing to say.
At the same time, since Huang Shoufa became the commander of the military region, he has gradually made great contributions and has not only grown up with arrogance, but also developed some warlord style.
He began to become arrogant. In addition to being irritable, he also beat and scolded friendly generals, so he was criticized and punished. However, Huang Shoufa still did his own thing and did not take military discipline seriously at all.

Wife He Yin has repeatedly advised her husband to work hard, but Huang Shoufa did not listen at all. Although the two had a daughter after marriage, the relationship between the couple was getting thinner and thinner.
On January 23, 1947, when everyone was celebrating the arrival of the Spring Festival, three gunshots broke the cheerful festive atmosphere.
When the guards arrived at the scene immediately, they found that Chief of Staff Huang Shoufa's wife He Yin was killed. She was lying in a pool of blood and did not move, and she was still holding a pistol tightly in her hand.
After the guards inspected, the gun in He Yin's hand was exactly the gun used by Huang Shoufa, and the fatal injury on her body was also caused by the pistol.

In this way, Huang Shoufa is very suspicious of committing the crime, but what the guards can't understand for a moment is why this couple who share weal and woe will face each other with swords.
In order to find out the truth about He Yin's murder, the Hebei Military Region launched an investigation into the case, and this investigation really found some problems.
It turned out that after He Yin gave birth to his daughter, he immediately joined the radio guidance work. Considering that her husband and daughter were not taken care of, He Yin and Huang Shoufa decided to hire a nanny to see the child after discussion. Finally, they chose Shan Jieying from Tianjin.
says that there is no cat in the world that doesn’t steal fish. Shan Jieying is young and beautiful. Not long after she came to her home, Huang Shoufa had an ambiguous relationship with her. He Yin, who was busy at work, did not notice the affair between the two, but after all, the paper couldn’t bear to cover the fire. She still discovered her husband’s cheating behavior.

At this time, He Yin was pregnant again. Faced with her husband's betrayal, she was very angry. The couple had a fierce quarrel. He Yin, who was angry, threatened to go to the military region to report Huang Shoufa, but it was because of these words that put her in danger.
It turned out that Huang Shou saw that the matter was exposed. For his future, he decided to take action first and planned to kill He Yin.
On the 30th day of the lunar calendar in 1946, Huang Shoufa found the guards beside him Bian Zhenhai and told him to kill He Yin in a rare place when he was out.
Bian Zhenhai was stunned after hearing this. As Huang Shoufa’s guard, he naturally knew about his affair with the nanny, but Bian Zhenhai always thought that Huang Shoufa was only cruel to the enemy, but he did not expect that he also attacked his wife. At that time, Bian Zhenhai refused and persuaded Huang Shoufa.

But unfortunately, the selfish Huang Shoufa did not repent, but instead used his position to threaten him and demanded that Bian Zhenhai not be able to make the case. After this incident, Huang Shoufa felt that the night was long and dreaming, so he decided to kill his wife by himself.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, He Yin was preparing to go out to work. Huang Shoufa took the opportunity to sneak into the room and shoot his wife three times, causing He Yin to have one corpse and two lives.
What is even more shameful is that in order to avoid guilt, Huang Shoufa actually disguised the scene of He Yin's death as a suicide illusion, and attempted to confuse the organization's investigation.
or committing meritorious service or shooting
However, whether Huang Shoufa was doing nothing in the office, he did not expect that Bian Zhenhai would expose his crime to his superiors. After learning the whole story, the military leaders immediately arrested Huang Shoufa.

But when the trial began, the case did not go smoothly, because in order to cover up the truth about He Yin's murder, Huang Shoufa not only refused to confess his guilt, but instead made many quibbling arguments and even tried to cheat.
However, the net of heaven is vast and unmissible. The organization has investigated and collected evidence through multiple investigations and evidence, not only grasped his criminal facts, but also collected a large amount of physical evidence. Finally, in the face of iron evidence, Huang Shoufa had to admit his crime.
At the same time, the murder of his wife soon spread in the military region. Regarding such a bad influence, the leaders of the Hebei Military Region had different opinions on how to deal with Huang Shoufa.
At that time, it was a critical moment of the War of Liberation. Some people believed that Huang Shoufa fought bravely in his nearly twenty years of revolutionary career, bleeding and wounded for the revolutionary cause.

At the beginning of the first division was swept away by the Japanese army. If Huang Shoufa had not led everyone to fight back, it would have been a division that would have ceased to exist.
Now that the war is imminent, the revolutionary cause is in urgent need of a large number of military talents. It is a pity to kill him now. It is better to avoid him from his death and make Huang Shoufa commit crimes and make meritorious.
But some people believe that Huang Shoufa killed his wife for his own selfishness. His bad character is chilling, and he deliberately concealed it after the incident, which is simply inhumane.
If he doesn't kill him, how can he be serious about military law and how can he give He Yin an explanation? Then, what is the difference between our party and the Kuomintang in this way?

Due to different opinions on handling, everyone could not reach a consensus. In addition, the war was about to be in full swing, so the case was delayed again and again, which lasted for nearly a year. In the end, Commander Nie Rongzhen directly reported the matter to Chairman Mao.
Chairman Mao was furious when he learned the whole story and immediately said that Huang Shoufa’s problem cannot be forgiven and must be executed. Such a result is inevitable, because in Chairman Mao’s view, merits are merits and demerits, and they cannot be generalized, nor can they be compared with merits and demerits.
On June 2, 1948, the Military Law Department of the Military Region Command tried Huang Shoufa, the murderer of his wife. The result of the trial was as follows. In order to strictly enforce the law and discipline and educate the entire army, Huang Shoufa was sentenced to death and executed by firing.

Chairman Mao
Considering that he was an old Red Army and his achievements for the revolutionary cause, the organization set up the location of the firing at Fuping where the Jin-Cha-Hebei Military Region is located.
With a gunshot, Huang Shoufa ended his magnificent life. Fellowship is merit, and fault is fault. Even if a person who makes great contributions to the party and the country, as long as he breaks the law, he will definitely pay the price for it.
It is precisely because our party has a steel-like discipline that the Communist Party and the Red Army soldiers won the support of the people, whether in the war years or the peaceful reunification period. This is exactly the difference between our party and the Kuomintang.
Huang Shoufa was born in the old Red Army. He not only passed the Long March, but also a general with outstanding achievements. As long as he persists like this, he will definitely become a founding hero.

Red Army
However, human hearts are unpredictable, and what is more terrifying than ghosts and gods is the hearts. As Huang Shoufa became more and more happy with his achievements, he began to corruption in hedonism . His fate was exactly the same as the saying "Heaven can still forgive evils, but he can't survive if he commits evils."
