Founding General Xiao Jinguang was appointed as the first commander of the Navy after the founding of the People's Republic of China. As a result, as soon as Xiao Jinguang learned of this news, he hurried to find the great man to explain the situation, saying that he was a dry duck and how could he be the commander of the navy, but the great man calmly said: "I let you form a navy, but I did not let you go to the sea every day to fight, what are you afraid of." ”
In order to reassure Xiao Jinguang, the great man found him an assistant, this person was named Liu Daosheng. The reason why the great man sent him to be Xiao Jinguang's assistant was naturally because of this person's superiority, and he had created many firsts in his life. During the Hundred Regiments War, he once led his army to fight fiercely with the Japanese army for more than three hours and won the Niangzi Pass. Niangziguan was the first strategic point conquered by the Eighth Route Army in the Hundred Regiments War, and this was the first first he created. In 1945, Liu Daosheng was promoted to political commissar of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region. On this day he received orders to quickly capture Zhangjiakou, opening the way for a Counter-Offensive by Soviet troops. This is a new challenge for our military.
Since the Eighth Route Army had basically no experience in attacking cities before, Liu Daosheng was also very embarrassed, and he and his commanders and fighters repeatedly considered the battle plan, and finally finalized the plan and decided to send a cavalry to meet the Soviet army. Let the four main regiments besiege the city and the remaining two regiments destroy the railway, cutting off the enemy's retreat. Sure enough, according to Liu Daosheng's plan, Zhangjiakou became the first and only provincial capital city conquered and recovered by the Eighth Route Army in the War of Resistance. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liu Daosheng's legend is not over, after serving as an assistant to Xiao Jinguang, he himself became the commander of the Naval Aviation Department, becoming the first founding general to serve in the navy, army and air force.
In 1980, at the age of 65, Liu Daosheng broke another naval record and opened up the new Chinese navy with 18 ships. The first route in the South Pacific became a sign that the Chinese navy began to go global. On May 16, 1995, Liu Daosheng died in Beijing at the age of eighty.
