Among the senior generals of the Nationalist army, there are many brothers, for example, Chen Shilu (zi Mengxi), the elder brother of General Chen, and chen Shixun (zi jirang), are all major generals of the nationalist army. Liao Yunzhou and Liao Yunze are also brothers, the older brother Liao Yunze is a lieutenant general, and the younger brother Liao Yunzhou is a major general.
The two brothers I am talking about today are generals and lieutenant generals, and they are Liu Ruming and Liu Ruzhen.
For Liu Ruming, who understands history, he is more familiar with it, he has made outstanding achievements in the anti-Japanese battlefield, in 1933, in the Battle of the Great Wall, he was the commander of the Provisional Second Division of the Twenty-ninth Army, the first battle against the Japanese army, in one day, annihilated more than 1,000 Japanese troops, and his own casualties were only more than 700. In the battle of Luo Wenyukou, he personally led a large pistol and knife team to ambush at the mountain pass, waiting for the enemy infantry to approach 200 meters, suddenly stood up and brandished a knife to supervise the battle, and threw grenades and wielded large knives to kill the enemy bravely, so that the Japanese puppet army that invaded our position retreated in a hurry.
In March 1938, during the Battle of Taierzhuang, Liu Ruming, who had been promoted to lieutenant general of the Sixty-eighth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, was ordered by Li Zongren to drive to the area of Xuzhou, and at the mouth of the tile, Liu Ruming led the Sixty-eighth Army to attack the enemy, and the enemy was suddenly hit and panicked. After 1940, Liu Ruming, who was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of the Second Army, led his troops to be active in the border between Henan and Hubei for a long time, fighting many battles, which dealt a great blow to the Japanese army. In 1944, Liu Ruming was awarded the rank of general.
His own brother Liu Ruzhen, whose military exploits are not as significant as his brother's, but is also a tiger general, in 1937, when the Lugou Bridge Incident occurred, he served as the commander of the 679th Regiment of the Independent 27th Brigade of the 132nd Division of Zhao Dengyu's Department, responsible for guarding the Guang'an Gate in Beiping, and when the situation was critical, he used a ruse to lure the Japanese army into the city, severely injured the Japanese army, and became a brigade commander. He was also promoted to major general division commander for his military merits. In April 1943, Liu Ruming was promoted to commander-in-chief of the Second Army of the National Revolutionary Army and resigned as commander of the 68th Army. Under the strong recommendation of his brother, his younger brother Liu Ruzhen became the commander of the 68th Army.
In the war, when Liu Ruming was engaged, although he suffered many heavy losses, he was able to get away from the pursuit again and again, and the troops did not fall to the point of being completely annihilated, which was due to his accurate judgment of the situation on the battlefield
Under the command of his brother, the younger brother Liu Ruzhen, of course, like his brother, fought and ran, and he was able to get out of the pursuit again and again.
