In the spring of 1926, Feng Yuxiang led the Northwest Army to defeat the warlord melee. At the suggestion of Li Dazhao, the leader of the northern China regional party committee, he went to the Soviet Union to "investigate" and ask for help. The CPC Central Committee and the Comintern instructed Liu Bojian, who was the secretary of the Lumo branch, to conscientiously do a good job in receiving him and win over this patriotic general. With the help and influence of Liu Bojian, Feng Yuxiang was very interested in the political work experience of the Soviet Red Army and invited Liu Bojian to return to China with him and serve as the director of the General Political Department of the Northwest Army.

When I first arrived at the Northwest Army, the army was very chaotic, and the soldiers were in tattered clothes and hungry. There is a total indifference to political concepts. In order to invigorate the scattered hearts of the military, Liu Bojian went to various armies to establish political work organizations and run various training courses, working more than 18 hours a day. At this time, the CPC Central Committee dispatched more than 200 cadres, including Liu Zhidan and An Ziwen, to the Northwest Army, and they were all assigned to various units under the unified arrangement of Liu Bojian to serve as political work cadres. During his tenure in Feng Yuxiang's unit, Liu Bojian paid great attention to doing a good job of united front work among the officers at the upper levels and educated them on the New Three People's Principles and patriotism, which won the trust of the officers. During this period, his heroic spirit and selfless work spirit made many senior officers feel admiration, and Yang Hucheng, Ji Hongchang, Deng Baoshan, Zhao Bosheng, dong Zhentang, and so on all made friends with him.

On September 17, the Northwest Army led by Feng Yuxiang, with the impetus and help of Liu Bojian and Yu Youren, swore an oath in Wuyuan, Inner Mongolia (present-day Wuyuan County, Bayannaoer League, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region), replaced the former Northwest Army's five-color flag with the Qingtian White Sun Banner, and announced that the Northwest Army would be renamed the Nationalist Army And participate in the National Revolution.

Liu Bojian's work experience in the Northwest Army has accumulated important experience for our party in transforming the old army. For the Northwest Army, the good influence of the Communist Party lasted for more than 20 years - at a series of major historical junctures later, the northwest army troops successively launched the Ningdu Rebellion, the Chasui Anti-Japanese Allied Army, and the Xi'an Incident, until the beginning of the Huaihai Campaign, when the last remnant of the Northwest Army was still revolting under the leadership of Zhang Kexia and He Jifeng.

In the spring of 1928, in order to strengthen military command, Liu Bojian was again sent by the Party Central Committee to study in the Soviet Union. Two years later, he returned to Shanghai from the Soviet Union and was sent by the Party Central Committee to the Jiangxi Revolutionary Base Area to work in the Central Revolutionary Military Commission.

In October 1934, before the breakthrough of the Long March of the Central Red Army, Liu Bojian was left in the Central Soviet Region to insist on guerrilla warfare. At the beginning of 1935, the Central Sub-Bureau, the Central Office, and the Gannan Military Region were surrounded by the enemy in a small strip of land south of Yudu. In early March, Liu Bojian, along with Ruan Xiaoxian, secretary of the Gannan Provincial Party Committee, led more than 2,000 people to break through from the south of Yudu to the oil field on the border of Gansu and Guangdong. In the breakout battle, Ruan Xiaoxian was shot and killed, and Liu Bojian was wounded in his left leg, bleeding profusely. While commanding the troops, he leaned his wounded body behind a tree and shot at the enemy alone to cover the breakthrough of the troops...

After being captured, Liu Bojian was taken to the headquarters of the First Army of the Yue Army in Dayu County and imprisoned in Dayu Prison. On March 11, the enemy again escorted him to the Kuomintang Sixth Appeasement District Appeasement Office stationed in Dayu for interrogation. The enemy deliberately carried Liu Bojian, who was seriously injured and dragged with heavy shackles, through the lively Qingcai Street, in order to show off his battle achievements, intimidate the masses, and disintegrate Liu Bojian's fighting spirit. But on the way to prison, Liu Bojian stood tall with his head held high, his righteousness was awe-inspiring, and he constantly smiled and nodded to the masses on both sides of the street, showing the heroic spirit of communists who preferred to die. That night, Liu Bojian, full of anger at the enemy, wrote in prison the ancient song "With Shackles":

With shackles long street line, waddling and staggering;

The people of the city are looking forward to it, and I am not ashamed.

With shackles long street line, shackles ho sonorous;

Everyone in the city was amazed, and I felt at ease.

With shackles on the long street, the ambition is more and more exuberant;

The workers and peasants were liberated.
