Under the tempering and forging of wars again and again, Liang Biye finally grew into a real political work cadre.
Later, he was exceptionally appointed as the director of the direct team club.
And it was in those turbulent times.
A heroic division that has charged into battle and repeatedly performed miraculous feats is gradually forming - the 115th Division.
Behind this heroic force, there is an unswerving backbone of political work like Liang Biye operating solidly.
