The Kuomintang posted a notice: "Reward: Anyone who captures Red Army guerrilla commander Luo Longhu will receive a reward of ten thousand silver dollars. This notice is issued by Bai Shi, Commander of the 28th Army of the Kuomintang." The guerrillas turned the situation to their advantage by writing a letter to the Kuomintang's Battalion Commander Liu, stating that due to the harsh living conditions of the guerrilla fighters, they intended to hand over Luo Longhu so he could return home to farm. They instructed Battalion Commander Liu to send someone to make contact and deliberately ensured that the letter reached the militia commander, who had conflicts with Liu. Upon seeing the letter, the militia commander immediately sent Captain Qin with two assistants to take custody of the person. The guerrilla staff officer, Huang Xin, politely detained Captain Qin and instructed his assistants to return with the money in exchange for Luo Longhu. The local gentry, Huang Shanren, informed Battalion Commander Liu of this matter. At the same time, Battalion Commander Liu also received the guerrillas' letter and was deeply displeased that the militia commander had snatched away his prize. When the militia and the guerrillas completed the exchange and prepared to take the person away, Battalion Commander Liu's troops, lying in ambush in the forest, opened fire on the militia. Thanks to Huang Shanren's mediation, the militia commander and Liu decided to share the credit for the military achievement equally, and only then did both sides cease fire. However, when they lifted the blanket on the stretcher and saw that the person exchanged was not Luo Longhu but Captain Qin, they realized they had been deceived. Soon after, they discovered a grenade strapped to Qin's back, causing everyone to scatter in panic. As a result, Qin was killed in the explosion. The guerrillas obtained a chest of silver dollars and also posted a notice: "Anyone who captures Bai Shi, commander of the 28th Army of the Kuomintang bandit forces, will be rewarded with one coin."
