In October 1936, the Western Route Army was ordered to cross the Yellow River to fight in the west, and in the Hexi Corridor, the Western Route Army fought alone, due to the huge gap between the enemy and us, the lack of food and ammunition, and there was no rescue, and finally the entire army was destroyed. In March 1937, Sun Yuqing, commander of the 31st Army of the Red Fourth Front, was captured by Ma Jiajun after a failed breakthrough.
At that time, Sun Yuqing had a fountain pen hanging on his chest, and when Han Deqing, the leader of the Ma family army, saw it, he asked him what kind of official he was. Sun Yuqing was in a hurry and lied that he was just a correspondent. When Han Deqing heard this answer, he treated him as an ordinary prisoner. As a result, when Sun Yuqing was sent to the cell, an unexpected situation occurred. When Sun Yuqing was detained in the cell by two Majiajun bandits, it was dinner time, and when the Red Army soldiers in the prison saw that the commander was also captured, they immediately put down their dishes and chopsticks and all stood up and saluted.
Han Deqing, who was following behind, saw this unusual scene and immediately reacted that Sun Yuqing's identity was not simple, and he ordered his subordinates to detain Sun Yuqing in solitary confinement to the interrogation room. Sun Yuqing knew that his identity could not be hidden for a long time, so he took the initiative to admit that he was the commander of the 31st Army. When Han Deqing heard this, he was excited. He immediately ordered a telegram to the leader of the Nationalist army, saying that he had captured the senior commander of the Red Army.
After receiving the news, the leaders of the Nationalist army quickly gave instructions to execute Sun Yuqing. In the early hours of the same day, Sun Yuqing was pulled out of the cell, and with a gunshot, Sun Yuqing's life drew an undeserved end at the age of 28. A month later, all the Red Army prisoners were collectively killed. Since then, the Red Army and the Ma Family Army have formed a bloody feud. In the Liberation War, Mr. Peng led 100,000 horses to kill and destroy all the forces of the Ma family army in the northwest in one fell swoop. Han Deqing was executed by public execution in order to comfort General Sun Yuqing's spirit in heaven.
