Sun Yuqing, a fallen general during the Red Army period.
He is a Hubei Hong'an native, 1 meter 8 tall, very thin, shaved head, a clear face, eyebrows are very heroic. Although he is not very old, the corners of his eyes are wrinkled deeply. He studied private school for 6 years, participated in the jute uprising at the age of 18, made many military achievements, and served as a commander of the Red Fourth Front at the age of 25. In October 1936, he led the Red Ninth Army to cross the Yellow River and became a strong force of the Western Route Army.
The total strength of the Western Route Army was 21,800, and Sun Yuqing's Red Ninth Army was about 7,000. The Red Ninth Army had fewer wounded, better equipped and relatively well-armed ammunition. However, after the Western Route Army entered Gansu, it was immediately surrounded and blocked by Ma Bufang of Qinghai. In order to defeat the Red Army, Ma Bufang dispatched 120,000 cavalry and infantry.
In mid-November 1936, Sun Yuqing's Red Ninth Army arrived in Gulang, Gansu Province, and fought a bloody battle with Ma Bufang's troops for three days. In the Battle of Gulang, more than 2,000 enemy were annihilated, and the casualties of the Red Ninth Army exceeded one-third, especially the cadres above the platoon level were sacrificed a lot. Therefore, there is a saying that "the Battle of Gulang, the Ninth Army was broken in half". Sun Yuqing's troops fought hard with Ma Bufang, but they did not break through in time and were forced to fight in the streets, causing serious casualties. After the war, the head of the headquarters of the Western Route Army severely criticized Sun Yuqing.
When she withdrew from Gulang, her girlfriend Chen Shu'e ran to find Sun Yuqing. Chen Shu'e, a soldier of the Women's Independent Regiment of the Western Route Army, was a beautiful person and could sing. A year ago, Sun Yuqing and Chen Shu'e fell in love with each other, and the two were united on the Long March Road. However, it is too late to announce the marriage. This time, Chen Shu'e came to her and told Sun Yuqing that she was pregnant and the war was tight, so what should I do? Sun Yuqing was very happy to learn and said don't worry, the child must be born, and if the battle is won, we will do our business.
However, the development of things, the two could not predict.
In March 1937, Sun Yuqing led his troops to retreat at Liyuankou in Gansu and continued to break through to the west. At that time, he led more than 100 Red Army soldiers into the Three Daogou of Caoling Osaka. The foothold was unstable, and it was heavily surrounded by Ma Zhongyi, commander of the Second Infantry Division of Bufang's Provisional Cavalry Division. Commander Sun commanded the Red Army in battle, and the casualties were so heavy that he ran out of bullets and captured several of his soldiers.
In April, Ma Jiajun escorted Sun Yuqing to Xining. At noon that day, Ma Bufang was interrogated in the second court of the provincial government. Captain Sun Yuqing, dressed in a blue cloth Zhongshan suit, entered the door, and if there was no one around, his demeanor did not change the heroic courage of the soldiers. Ma Bufang adopted a special interrogation method for him, not tied or handcuffed, but a discussion. Ma Bufang repeatedly asked him about his age, place of origin and experience. Sun Yuqing raised an eyebrow coldly and replied one by one. In the next few days, Ma Bufang took Sun Yuqing to Zhongshan Hospital three times to visit the female Red Army who was working as a coolie after being captured. At the same time, Ma Bufang also took his head and brain many times and set up banquets to entertain Sun Yuqing.
Sun Yuqing, a military commander, was imprisoned in a carriage and horse shop on Dongguan Street in Xining. Ma Bufang sent several guards to keep an eye on him and allowed him to walk around the city of Xining. Xiong Weibang, the head of Ma Bufang's radio station, recalled: "We ran to see Sun Yuqing. The Red Army commander sat in a chair, eating peanuts and rice and spiced melon seeds on the table. ”
However, ma Bufang was impossible to recover Sun Yuqing.
One evening at the end of May, Ma Bufang ordered someone to dispose of Sun Yuqing. On that day, ma changlong, Ma Guocheng, and Lao Gasan of the Ma Zhongyi regiment carried out the task. They stabbed Sun Junchang's abdomen with a dagger and cut off Sun Yuqing's head. He found a pair of women's pants, wrapped the head of Commander Sun Jun, put it on a carriage together with his body, and sent it to the south gate to be buried outside the dark night. The next day, Ma Bufang's secretary suddenly called and said that if he wanted to take a picture of Sun Yuqing's head, he had to show it to Nanjing. Therefore, Ma Changlong and the other three killers ran to the pit again, retrieved the head of Commander Sun Yuqing, wrapped it in a piece of baggage, and gave it to Ma Bufang.
When Commander Sun Yuqing died, her girlfriend Chen Shu'e was also in Xining. At that time, After Chen Shu'e and 400 female Red Army soldiers were captured, they were escorted to Xining by Ma Bufang.
Ma Bufang's cousin and commander-in-chief of infantry and cavalry, Ma Yuanhai, took a fancy to the beautiful Chen Shu'e, soft and hard, and wanted her to be a little wife. Chen Shu'e agreed to protect the child in her belly and endured. Chen Shu'e was taken as a concubine by Ma Yuanhai and refused to raise ma Yuanhai. For more than ten years, Chen Shu'e has been better off alive than dead, humiliated and humiliated, and truly experienced the taste of being alive.
In August 1949, Lanzhou was liberated. In the captured archives, our army found a photograph of three heads. After identification, one of them was The Commander of sun Yuqing. When the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea broke out, Chen Shu'e sent her and The son of Commander Sun jun to the army and became a volunteer soldier. The age of the son when he went to korea to participate in the war was not yet the age of the two of them when they were in the Red Army.
After several twists and turns, the orphans of the martyrs were recognized.
In her later years, Chen Shu'e lived in Lanzhou. In her cramped home, there are photographs of Sun Yuqing and martyrs' certificates. Her housing in Lanzhou was coordinated by her old comrades-in-arms when implementing the policy. In the days when she left General Sun, Chen Shu'e endured humiliation and hardships, and adopted a group of orphans. Before Chen Shu'e died in 2005, people went to see her. She told people on her sickbed that she had seen snow on The Qilian Mountains and that she had heard bullets flying in her ears.
