To tell a more interesting thing, at the end of the Liberation War, Liu Changyi, former commander of the Kuomintang Shanghai Garrison and commander of the 51st Army, was persuaded by Nie Fengzhi to succeed in the uprising with a large seal carved by a radish, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he also served as a deputy to the Shanghai Municipal People's Congress, a member of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
Liu Changyi was born in 1914 in Huang'an, Hubei Province, the family is a sharecropper, because of relative poverty, Liu Changyi only read for three months and had to go to learn tailoring to make a living, during the agrarian revolution, Liu Changyi followed more than a dozen fellow villagers in his hometown to join the Red Army, it is worth mentioning that at that time, among the fellow villagers he wanted to follow, there was a leprosy and a hemp seed, the recruitment office did not collect, Liu Changyi asked rhetorically: Leprosy hemp seeds are not revolutionary? The recruiting office was dumbfounded, and later agreed to their enlistment.
However, the general died in a hundred battles, the brave soldier returned in ten years, in fact, among these people who joined the Red Army, the only one who came to the end was Liu Changyi, but after Liu Changyi joined the Red Army, the battle was very brave, which is also an indisputable fact, it did not take long to be promoted to platoon leader, until the end of the Long March, Liu Changyi has been promoted to the commander of the Red 27th Division, and led the troops to embark on the anti-Japanese battlefield, in 1944 the Japanese army invaded Henan, cutting off the connection between the base areas of our army, when the Henan Military Region ordered Liu Changyi to lead the sixth detachment south to western Henan, In funiu mountain generation and the Japanese puppet army fiercely fought for 8 months, annihilating more than 8,000 enemy people.
After the outbreak of the Liberation War, in order to avoid conflict, Liu Changyi led his troops to leave western Henan, and all his troops were incorporated into the first column of the Central Plains Military Region, Liu Changyi himself served as the commander of the Third Brigade, and during the breakthrough in the Central Plains, Liu Changyi led the Third Brigade as the vanguard of the Southern Road, made great contributions to covering the withdrawal of the whole army, and led his troops to advance into northwest Hubei to establish a base area.
Also because of the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Kuomintang army, by February 1947 Liu Changyi led the troops had less than a thousand people, more importantly, even the radio station carried by the army had been destroyed, and without the instructions of the superiors, Liu Changyi led his troops to return to Dabie Mountain and establish a revolutionary base area in western Hubei, until Liu Deng advanced into Dabie Mountain, Liu Changyi's troops joined the main force, and Liu Deng highly praised Liu Changyi for his spirit of fighting in the absence of contact with the organization.
During the revolutionary war years, Liu Changyi was wounded many times, the most serious one was 5 machine gun bullets in a row, and the cheeks were pierced with blood, at that time, considering the injury, the superiors asked Liu Changyi to go to the rear to recuperate, but Liu Changyi refused, still insisting on fighting bravely. In September 1955, Liu Changyi was awarded the rank of lieutenant general.
In the war years, Liu Changyi fought bravely and fiercely, and what is even more valuable is that no matter what is big, he can calmly face it here, so he can always make the right choice at a critical juncture.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liu Changyi served as deputy commander of the Nanjing Military Region, and formed a deep friendship with Xu Shiyou, both of whom liked to drink, and later after Ding Sheng succeeded him as the commander of the Nanjing Military Region, Liu Changyi changed to an adviser to the Nanjing Military Region because of his age, and was in a semi-retired state.
In the winter of 1978, Xu Shiyou was transferred to the commander of the Guangzhou Military Region, responsible for the counterattack against Vietnam, and remembered this old comrade-in-arms, at the suggestion of Xu Shiyou, at that time Liu Changyi was 64 years old when he became the deputy commander of the Guangzhou Military Region, although it was a trust in his comrades-in-arms, Xu Shiyou muttered in his heart, whether this comrade-in-arms still had the bloodiness of the war years, and whether he could fight.
After Liu Changyi arrived in Guangzhou, Xu Shiyou put wine to receive the wind, during the banquet the two of them dried four bottles of Maotai in a row, after drinking, Xu Shiyou asked if he could still drink, Liu Changyi put his neck on the stem and said: Of course, you can still drink, Xu Shiyou therefore concluded that this old comrade-in-arms is still heroic. Liu Changyi therefore had a hangover in the hotel for two days, in 1979 Liu Changyi, deputy commander of the Guangzhou Military Region, personally came to the front line, our army concentrated several times the artillery fire, ten thousand cannons fired at the same time, everyone was very happy, only Liu Changyi calmed his face, and later ordered chief of staff Zhou Deli to stop shooting artillery, and only after a question did he know that Liu Changyi was suspected of hitting the air cannon, after all, the enemy was not stupid, and the people who went down with the first cannon went into hiding.
After the battle, Liu Changyi returned to Guangzhou, Xu Shiyou put wine to pick up the wind, the two of you and you a cup of my cup to drink up, this time Liu Changyi drank too much, dangling leisurely lying on the sofa, Xu Shiyou asked a word, can you still drink, Liu Changyi listened, the sofa armrest slammed: "I sit here to rest, is it okay?" ”
