Yes, I'm angry too. But this isn't a winning tactic unfortunately.
Killing all the enemy troops sounds like a great strategy
You know what happens when you execute/kill every single enemy? They don't surrender. They fight to their deaths. They fight with all their strength.
You take prisoners to make your victory easier, not to be a good guy.

These people can not be rehabilitated. It's unfortunate but it's true.
What do people do if their choices are fight or die? They fight.

Sure, lie to them and then round them up and put them to the wall - Mao style
When did Mao do that?
With landlords, for instance, my understanding is he basically put their fate in the hands of their local communities. That famously resulted in revolutionary land redistribution, but punishments beyond that varied based on local conditions, with plenty of landlords losing little beyond their lands and authority.
1000 flowers campaign. Promises to let the reactionaries have free speech, pinpointed them all and then executed/jailed them
Ah. We're getting pretty far from analogous facts with that, and whether it was an intentional strategy to flush out reactionaries is debated.
Mao is whatever i want him to be in my head
Think about how much better the world would be if every single Nazi was executed
