In 1946, the Kuomintang reactionaries led by Chiang Kai-shek set off a civil war, and in the early stages of the operation, because our army was inferior, it had to carry out roundabout operations, and in March 1947 Hu Zongnan led a large army to capture Yan'an, but due to the excessive restraint on the gains and losses of one city and one place, our army adopted mushroom tactics under unfavorable conditions in the early stage of combat, and for a time dragged the enemy to exhaustion, because the 31st Brigade was surrounded and annihilated in the Qinghua area, So Hu Zongnan was very cautious and careful in every next move.
At that time, there were two elite corps under Hu Zongnan's command, namely Liu Jie's corps and Dong Zhao's corps, in order to prevent a middle ambush, Hu Zongnan ordered the two corps to adopt a strategy of gradual marching and sweeping, with the intention of finding a decisive battle in the northwest field army, Liu Jie's corps was a very elite force under Hu Zongnan's subordinates, and Liu Jie, as a commander, was actually a fierce general in the nationalist army, and it was also because of Hu Zongnan's recommendation that Liu Jian was transferred to an important post in the northwest.
Liu Jie was born in Taoyuan, Hunan in 1906, when he was very young, his parents died, but Liu Jie decided that he wanted to change his fate, unless he studied very hard, so when he was herding cattle, he could see Liu Jie holding a book and reading, so Liu Jie laid a deep cultural foundation, and thus was admitted to the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, in fact, it can also be seen that Liu Jie and Hu Zongnan belonged to the same period, and many generals of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party at that time were also from the Whampoa Military Academy.
However, compared with other classmates, Liu Jie was basically unknown during his studies at school, and when he fought in the war, he also relied on his life to reunite, once served under Wei Lihuang, Wei Lihuang thought that he had a tendon, in the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army, because he was a pioneer, he was hit in the right eye by a bullet, and later he could only install a false eye, also because this kind of general who was not afraid of death was very lacking, the old Jiang was still very important to Liu Jie, in 1933 Liu Jie was promoted to the commander of the 83rd Division, subordinate to the 17th Army, the commander Xu Tingyao, Moreover, the 83rd Division was also a German mechanic.
In the nationalist troops, the 83rd Division led by Liu Jie also went to the battlefield of the War of Resistance relatively early, he followed Xu Tingyao to participate in the Great Wall War of Resistance, when the battle was fierce, he even organized his men to kill the enemy, so the Japanese army also felt afraid, so Liu Jie was promoted to the commander of the 93rd Army, until the end of the War of Resistance, The old Chiang reorganized the Thirty-sixth Group Army, Liu Jie was appointed as the commander of the group army, after the end of the War of Resistance, the old classmate Hu Zongnan recommended him to go to the northwest as the commander of the Thirty-seventh Group Army.
Counting that among the many generals of the Kuomintang at that time, there were not many who could be recognized by both sides at the same time, Liu Jian was one of them, in the early years when he was the commander of the 93rd Army, the chief of staff of his subordinate army was the Communist Party, and after the old Jiang learned of it, he ordered Liu Jie to put people under control and wait for the opportunity to be killed under house arrest.
But unfortunately, the later development of the facts was unfortunately said by him, in the Battle of Yichuan, Liu Jie's troops were surrounded by heavy troops of the Northwest Field Army, although they desperately broke through, but they could not forget to save, Liu Jian saw that the general trend had gone, raised his gun and killed himself (there is a saying that he committed suicide by pulling a grenade), after his death, our army collected the remains and sent them back to Xi'an for burial.
