On the road of revolution, many heroes sacrificed their precious lives, but few heroes died as tragically as he did, and he committed suicide by tearing off his intestines in order not to be a prisoner of the enemy, but after his death, he was still beheaded and beheaded by the enemy for public display.
The hero who died tragically was Chen Shuxiang, whose early experience was quite legendary, when he was young, he followed his father to grow vegetables in Changsha for a living, and there was a clear water pond near the vegetable field he rented, and he often helped his father to carry water in the clear water pond to water the vegetable field.
It just so happened that the chairman was renting next to Qingshuitang, and as soon as he came and went, he got to know the chairman and He Shuheng and others, and under the influence of the chairman, in 1925, the 20-year-old Chen Shuxiang joined our party, actively engaged in revolutionary propaganda work, and became a backbone member under the leadership of the chairman.
In 1927, after the defeat of the Great Revolution, the situation in Changsha was very unfavorable to our party, many party members were killed, and the organization arranged for Chen Shuxiang and a group of other party members to be transferred to Wuchang, and instructed Chen Shuxiang to sign up for Ye Ting's new army recruitment, and Chen Shuxiang successfully entered Ye Ting's troops.
He performed very well in the army, and soon became the platoon leader of the guard regiment, and the soldiers admired Chen Shuxiang very much, and in September of that year, he planned to launch an autumn harvest uprising, and many soldiers followed Chen Shuxiang to participate in the autumn harvest uprising, and later he went to Jinggangshan with the chairman.
From this, we know that Chen Shuxiang was an old Red Army with very senior qualifications and was one of the first founders of the Jinggangshan base area; he successively served as a company commander, a regimental commander, and a division commander on Jinggangshan, and he successively participated in the anti-encirclement and suppression operations on Jinggangshan.
In the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression battle, Chen Shuxiang, then commander of the 34th Division, led his troops to fight fiercely with more than 30,000 enemies, blocking the enemy for 7 days and 7 nights, successfully blocking the enemy's attack on the base area, and on October 18, Chen Shuxiang led his troops to cover two columns and the main Red Army across the Yudu River.
The enemy of the Kuomintang was frantically pursuing the people, and in accordance with the instructions of his superiors, Chen Shuxiang led the soldiers of the 34th Division to take on the task of breaking the rear, and everyone at that time understood that no matter which unit was responsible for the rear, there was no return, and the 34th Division only had more than 6,000 people left.
They faced at least 10 times the pursuing troops, in the face of a huge disparity in strength, Chen Shuxiang led his troops to block the enemy for 4 days and 5 nights, thus winning the breakthrough time for the main forces, if there was no Chen Shuxiang to block these few days, the main force of the Red Army might be completely destroyed.
By the time Chen Shuxiang completed the task of blocking the attack and was ordered to retreat, at 34:00 it had already been sharply reduced to less than 1,000 people, and on the evening of December 1, Chen Shuxiang led a partial breakout according to the instructions of his superiors, and the troops were constantly reduced, and by December 9, the 34th Division had less than 200 people left, and Chen Shuxiang himself was shot in the abdomen and could not move.
Chen Shuxiang was carried by the soldiers to the vicinity of the Sima Bridge in Daoxian County to prepare to cross the river, but was unexpectedly stopped by a battalion of the Daoxian Security Regiment, chen Shuxiang was only 53 people left, there were wounded, and there were only more than 100 rounds of bullets left, Chen Shuxiang insisted on staying without burdening the soldiers.
He let the warriors break through on their own, and he decided to die with the enemy, but he was unconscious by the enemy's grenade, and when he woke up, he had been captured, and the enemy wanted to carry him to the county town to receive the bounty, Chen Shuxiang did not want to be a prisoner, and he decided to commit suicide halfway.
There was no weapon that could be used to commit suicide, so he reached into his abdomen with his hand and ripped off his intestines to commit suicide, but the enemy cut off his head and showed the public for several days, with Chen Shuxiang's seniority and military achievements, if he did not die, he was enough to be awarded the rank of general.
