As you may all know, this unit, during the Red Army period, was responsible for military affairs by Xu Shuai. After the reorganization of the troops into the 129th Division during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the division commander was Liu Shuai, one of the ten marshals after the founding of the People's Republic of China, so he had the final say in the matter of fighting the war, and it continued until the period of the Liberation War, and the military commander of this unit was Liu Shuai.

In the process, Liu Shuai participated in the planning, formulated a series of combat plans, repelled the enemy's attacks again and again, and made great contributions to consolidating the base areas in the Soviet region.
Although, he was later demoted due to his opposition to Li De and was sent to the Red Fifth Army as chief of staff.
