In February 1944, Liu Changyi was appointed by the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army as the commander of the 6th detachment to the south, and led his troops to advance into western Henan to establish an anti-Japanese base area, accumulating strength for the upcoming major counteroffensive against the area occupied by the Japanese army.

The reason why the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army chose to issue an order to advance toward western Henan in the early spring of that year was because shortly after entering 1944, Japanese imperialism was actively defeated in the Pacific Theater, and the anti-fascist allies composed of China, the Soviet Union, the United States, Britain, including France, had already gained an overwhelming advantage in the anti-fascist battlefield in the world. In the Asian theater, the Chinese Expeditionary Force, with the cooperation of the United States and Britain, has gradually moved from Burma to the domestic border. Faced with such a situation, the Base Camp of the Japanese Army formulated an arrogant plan to move the Japanese Emperor to China once the Japanese mainland was invaded and occupied by the United States.
The Invading Japanese Army carried out a series of battles according to this plan. What is still incomprehensible is that in the 7th year of the nationwide War of Resistance, many Kuomintang troops have been equipped with a large number of advanced American equipment, but they have not been able to resist the attack of the Japanese army. In particular, with the nearly 400,000 troops of the Tang Enbo Group of the Kuomintang army stationed in Henan Province, in the face of the rapid offensive of the Japanese army, the weapons and equipment were no less than that of the Japanese army, and even surpassed the Japanese army, they were completely defeated.

The local people, who were deeply desperate, actively resisted the aggression of the Japanese army, and at the same time, pinned their hopes on the Eighth Route Army to save the country and the people. It was with the trust and hope of the people of Henan that the Eighth Route Army quickly dispatched a detachment to the south and rushed to western Henan to re-establish the people's belief in the victory of the war, and then dealt a fierce blow to the Japanese army and the reactionary armed forces that played for the tiger. This was the most direct reason why Liu Changyi led the detachment to the south to enter western Henan to open up a base area.
In mid-March, the southward detachment led by Liu Changyi overcame many difficulties and reached Luoyang, Henan, the central area of western Henan, and promptly contacted the local party organization to understand the situation and decide on the strategic objectives of the southbound detachment.
Liu Changyi listened to the person in charge of the local party organization and introduced that under the fierce pursuit and fierce fighting of the Japanese army, the 400,000 troops led by Tang Enbo, in addition to the main force fleeing in a panic, the remnants of the army that had no time to escape were also a considerable number. For self-preservation, as well as various purposes, they formed a power group with different names with the local landlords, bandits, and the real anti-Japanese self-defense forces.

Some people think that the Kuomintang army has completely defeated and retreated, that the Japanese army is still looking for the main force of the Kuomintang army to fight, that the Eighth Route Army has not yet entered this area, and has temporarily formed a vacuum zone of three disregards; under the banner of "resisting Japan to save the country and protect the family and the people," they have never fired a single shot at the Japanese army, but have used the anti-Japanese as an excuse to oppress the people, impose taxes, and even mutilate the real anti-Japanese soldiers and their relatives. The common people are powerless in the face of such an "anti-Japanese contingent" because they have guns in their hands, and the common people can only dare to be angry and dare not speak out. After Liu Changyi listened to the introduction, anger rose in his heart. However, he quickly calmed down and began to ask which team was still insisting on resisting Japan. The head of the local party organization blurted out that the largest team was a remnant of the Kuomintang army led by Shangguan Ziping, who had been crippled by Tang Enbo's department, and was still more or less engaged in confrontation with the Japanese army.
Liu Changyi smiled happily after listening to the introduction, and the person in charge introduced to Liu Changyi that most people in this team knew that the Eighth Route Army led by the Communist Party was a real anti-Japanese contingent, and they longed for the Eighth Route Army in their hearts, hoping to unite with the Eighth Route Army to jointly resist the Japanese army. Liu Changyi immediately decided that he would meet Shangguan Ziping for a while, and soon under the contact and arrangement of the local party organization, Liu Changyi and Shangguan Ziping met, and the two of them saw each other as they always were, shangguan Ziping greatly admired the outstanding performance of the Eighth Route Army in the War of Resistance, and even more admired Liu Changyi's open-mindedness and open-mindedness, and he said that he was very willing to accept the reorganization of the southern detachment into a member of the Eighth Route Army.
The transformation of the old army is a long process and cannot be accomplished overnight. Although they were reorganized, a small number of officers in this unit still had to live a comfortable life of being served as they had done in the Kuomintang army before. Rumors from the instigation center of their subordinates, the southward detachment led by Liu Changyi, which had few men and horses, poor weapons, and poor food treatment, actually encouraged some people to flee from the place where they were stationed in the middle of the night to surrender to the Japanese army in the county seat.
After Liu Changyi got this news, he immediately led his troops to chase them in the direction of their escape, and when he caught up with these people, Liu Changyi had no fear and told them in a righteous and stern manner that at this time, it was a very shameful act to aid and abett the abuse of the traitors, and the Japanese army was already at the end of the crossbow, so don't you worry about your way out after the defeat of the Japanese Kou. This part of the people originally thought that Liu Changyi led the troops to surround them and would shoot them all, and some people even quietly put the bullets on the top of the chamber and wanted to break the net. Who knows, Liu Changyi did not mention the order to let them surrender their guns, but Xiaozhi was emotionally moved by reason, and those who really did not want to be the Eighth Route Army could send the road fee home, and they also wanted to be the eighth route army's past and not to blame. Liu Changyi won their trust with a heart-to-heart remark, and the soldiers solved this possible mutiny without bloodshed. It can be said that Liu Changyi is not only an outstanding military commander, but also an extremely good political worker.

In mid-July 1945, the Japanese army was very panicked about the growing anti-Japanese base area in western Henan, so it ordered the 37th Division of the Japanese Army to gather more than 5,000 puppet troops and sweep the anti-Japanese base area in western Henan. Liu Changyi believes that although the weapons and equipment of the troops have made considerable progress compared with before, this time the Japanese army and the puppet army are added together, whether in terms of numbers or weapons and equipment, they are still stronger than the southbound detachment, so at any time, it is absolutely impossible to hit the stones with pebbles and let the troops suffer unnecessary losses. In order to avoid the sharpness of the Japanese puppet army that came to sweep up, Liu Changyi immediately ordered his troops to take the initiative to withdraw from Shenhou Town and then look for opportunities to attack the enemy.
When the opportunity finally came, Liu Changyi learned that a Japanese army had penetrated deep into the area of the Ancestral Master Temple in Shenhou Town, and was far away from other Japanese puppet troops who had come to sweep the base area. Without hesitation, Liu Changyi gathered the entire detachment of men and horses to immediately launch an order to attack the Japanese army in the area of the Zushi Temple in Shenhou Town.
The sixth detachment, under the command of Liu Changyi, dispatched a force to quickly occupy the favorable terrain on the periphery to block the Japanese troops who might rush to reinforcements, and at the same time, ordered the cover to advance to the slopes of zushi Mountain occupied by the Japanese army. When the soldiers appeared in front of the slope of Zushi Mountain, it was such a scene, these Japanese troops who were dying did not assign sentries, but gathered together to sleep in a flat place under the hillside. In the face of this scene, only to see a gesture from the cadres leading the troops to charge, the soldiers all unscrewed the lid of the grenade and threw it at the Japanese army that was still dreaming.
When the Japanese army that was not killed was looking for guns in a panic, it was hit by a dense bullet from the soldiers, and when the Japanese army was fully awake, the troops led by Liu Changyi had all entered the position, and after a fierce battle, the Japanese army dropped dozens of corpses and many ammunition, and had to flee.
