In 1936, Zhang Zhonglin, the colonel of the Nationalist Army, shot and killed his wife Wu Hailan, who had been married for three years. After the East Window incident, because he was a student of Principal Jiang, he did not "pay for his life with his life", but was sentenced to 10 years in prison. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, under the pretext of "going to the front line to atone for his sins", Zhang Zhonglin changed his name to Zhang Lingfu and transformed from a "wife-killing villain" to a commander of the Nationalist Army. In our army, there are also people who kill wives, but the ending is different, he is Huang Shoufa.
Huang Shoufa, born in 1911, is a native of Xinquan, Fujian Province. Because of his poor family, he herded cattle for landlords as a child, worked as a mason, and joined the Red Guards at the age of 18, thus beginning a revolutionary career. During the agrarian revolutionary war, Huang Shoufa was promoted from an ordinary soldier to platoon leader, company commander, battalion commander, regimental commander, and even division chief of staff because of his bravery in battle.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Huang Shoufa was assigned to work in the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, and was Nie Shuai's right-hand man, serving as chief of staff of the military branch and commander of the military sub-district. It is worth mentioning that Huang Shoufa also made great contributions to the fight against the Japanese army. At that time, he served as the commander of the third battalion of the Independent Regiment of the 115th Division, and led his troops to participate in the Battle of Loess Ridge, which killed the Japanese lieutenant general Norihide Abe, the "Flower of Famous Generals", and Huang Shoufa became famous.
During the Liberation War, Huang Shoufa successively served as commander of the Eighth Column of the Second Field Army of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region and chief of staff of the Jizhong Military Region. With his seniority and military achievements, if there is no accident, he will certainly be awarded the title of general after the founding of the country. However, Huang Shoufa became a little arrogant at this time, and he was also infected with the style of a warlord, beating and cursing fighters at every turn. In addition, he also had an improper relationship with the nanny at home, and after being discovered by his wife He Yin, Huang Shoufa not only did not think about repentance, but also had the intention of killing.
On the second day of the first lunar month in 1947, shortly after the New Year, Huang Shoufa killed his wife He Yin with a pistol at home and fired three shots in a row. At this time, He Yin was pregnant, which was directly a corpse and two lives. After the tragedy, Huang Shoufa refused to admit guilt and defended himself, and after more than a year of interrogation, the evidence was conclusive, and he could not deny it.
Logically, Huang Shoufa should be sentenced to capital punishment, but in terms of execution, it is very difficult. As we all know, he belonged to the meritorious men, born and died for decades for the revolution. Nie Shuai, the old superior, could not bear it, and later pleaded with the chairman, but the chairman said that "Huang Shoufa's problem cannot be forgiven and must be executed by shooting." In June 1948, Huang Shoufa was executed by firing squad at the age of 37.
