In 1927, on the eve of the Autumn Harvest Uprising, the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army was formally formed, with the name of the First Division of the First Army, which was the first Red Army team, and the only unit known as the Red Army at that time, when the First Division of the First Army of the Red Army had a total of more than 5,000 people.
Many founding generals were born from the first division of the Red Army, and even the founding marshal Luo Ronghuan, but few people know the commander of the first division of the Red Army, Yu Shandu, mainly because of the heavy losses of the troops during the autumn harvest uprising, and Yu Shandu deserted and left the Red Army.
At that time, Yu Shandu also left with a regimental commander, Su Xianjun, and after the defeat of the Autumn Harvest Uprising, Yu Shandu, as the commander of the division, insisted on taking Liuyang and directly attacking Changsha, Su Xianjun supported him, regardless of the fact that most of the Leaders of the Red Army understood the overall situation.
The plan to attack Changsha was canceled, the troops marched toward Jinggangshan under the leadership of the chairman, and when they reached The county took a break, at this time, from the old newspapers collected, everyone knew that the Nanchang uprising troops were defeated by the enemy in the Chaoshan area, which was a huge loss of the revolution.
No one ever thought that this news became the last straw that crushed the camel, and after Yu Shandu and Su Xianjun learned of this news, their originally unstable revolutionary will was instantly crushed, and the two packed their bags and were about to leave the army, on the pretext of reporting to the Hunan Provincial Party Committee.
In fact, everyone who understands them knows that they are deserting as deserters, but they have an excuse to leave, and they are still in important positions, so they have not stopped them, so what happens to a division commander and a regiment commander after leaving the unit? Neither of them had a good ending.
In October 1929, he moved to Shanghai, becoming more and more pessimistic about the revolution, and in November 1931, Yu Shandu was arrested by Kuomintang agents in Shanghai, perhaps this is exactly what Yu Shandu hoped, and he immediately expressed his willingness to "repent and rehabilitate".
In fact, Yu Shandu was capable of being the first division commander of the Red Army, he was a student of the second phase of the Huangpu Military Academy, and he was a prominent figure during the Whampoa Military Academy, but he had a very high self-esteem, felt that he was the elite of the Huangpu Army, scorned guerrilla warfare, and felt that it was an escape.
When Jiang learned that Yu Shandu had been captured, on the one hand, he considered that he had been a student of Huangpu, and on the other hand, considering that he had been the commander of the Red Army division, which was an opportunity to strike at the Red Army, so he recruited Yu Shandu and appointed him as the chief of the Major General of the Political Training Office of the 61st Army of the Nationalist Army.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Yu Shangdu was no longer the Yu Sprinkle of the year, not only did not have revolutionary beliefs, but also indulged in pleasure, in order to have enough money he did not hesitate to sell opium, and finally was exposed for uneven sharing of the stolen goods, this time Jiang Someone showed no mercy, and in 1934 ordered him to be shot.
Heaven gave Yu Shandu the opportunity to become a marshal, but he did not seize it and embarked on the wrong path, and the same opportunity was given to Su Xianjun, but Su Xianjun did not seize the opportunity, and in January 1928, Su Xianjun, who had not long left the First Division of the Red Army, was captured by the enemy in Yueyang.
Then you Su Xianjun rebelled, in order to flatter the enemy, Su Xianjun betrayed the leading comrade Guo Liang in Hunan, resulting in Guo Liang's sacrifice, but Su Xianjun was happy for a few years, and in July 1930, when the Red Third Army captured Su Xianjun and shot him.
