Doug, that's right, he's executed. "Suppressed" is a very common word in the Chinese historical recording of that period. In western movies, captured prisoner was simply shot in front of a building or wall, but Mao's communist way was unique.

Usually, they would send the prisoner back to his hometown and assemble a few thousand people watching the trial. As a commander running extermination policy in the past, even if he did not kill anyone himself, his subordinates must have killed some or even a lot. Now, those victims' relatives become "jury", one by one, crying, pointing fingers towards the captured, showing bloody clothes that they had saved many years, etc, etc. So the final trial result was almost invariably "prisoner was suppressed (executed) in front of charges soaking in blood and tears".
