In the same year, the 52nd army was formed, and Guan Linzheng was the commander of the army. When the 52nd army took part in the Taierzhuang battle, Liu Yuzhang fought bravely and was injured twice. He was first crushed by the wall that was knocked down by artillery, and then wounded by Japanese planes when he retreated. In the Taierzhuang campaign, he put forward the tactics of "short distance, short time, concentrated firepower". After that, he took part in the Wuhan defense war with the 52nd army. In 1941, the 52nd army transferred to Yunnan, and Liu Yuzhang was the commander of the 2nd division.

After the victory of the Anti Japanese War, the 52nd army went to Vietnam to accept Japanese surrender. Then the United States Seventh mixed fleet shipped to the northeast, landed in Dalian and Yingkou, and then returned to Qinhuangdao.

Suppression of the Communist Party in the Civil War

In October 1926, Liu Yuzhang graduated from Huangpu Military Academy, and then took part in the northern expedition. He served as a trainee platoon leader in the secret service battalion of the East Road army headquarters, from Fujian, Zhejiang to Shanghai. In August 1927, sun Chuanfang sent troops across the Yangtze River to attack Nanjing. The two sides had a decisive battle in Longtan. Liu Yuzhang was the captain of the company and was wounded in the battle. In 1930, during the Central Plains war, Liu Yuzhang was incorporated into the second division of Gu Zhutong's department. He was injured for the second time in the war and his hair fell off clean. He was called "old man Liu" and was promoted to major battalion commander. In 1932, he went to Hubei, Henan and Anhui to participate in the anti Communist civil war and "encircle and suppress" the Fourth Front Red Army. In March 1935, Liu Yuzhang's second division, led by his division commander Huang Jie, joined with Guan Linzheng's 25th division in the Anti Japanese war at Gubeikou of the Great Wall, during which Liu Yuzhang was wounded for the third time. The "Great Wall Anti Japanese War" of the 2nd and 25th divisions was a well-known battle of the Chinese army against Japanese aggression before the Lugouqiao Incident.

A fierce battle

When the Liaoshen campaign became white hot, Chiang Kai Shek convened a meeting of Fu Zuoyi, Wei Lihuang and Du Yuming at the Yuanen Temple residence in Peking. Liu Yuzhang was ordered to occupy Yingkou first to cover the rear. At the same time, Huludao and Jinxi troops also attacked Jinzhou. In 1933, he led his troops to take part in the battle of Gubeikou. During the Anti Japanese War, he was promoted to division commander. During the Anti Japanese War, the Great Wall was injured in Gubeikou, and also participated in Taierzhuang battle, Wuhan battle and Changsha battle. In 1945, he was promoted to military commander and went to the northeast. In April 1948, Liu Yuzhang took over the post of military commander of the 52nd army of the Kuomintang.

Liao Yaoxiang, who moved westward from Shenyang, was slow-moving. He was a highly mechanized force, with more than 100000 people traveling only 20 kilometers a day. His main force moved along the north side of Beining road. After conquering Jinzhou, Lin Biao quickly moved eastward to encircle and annihilate five armies and 12 U.S. military divisions of Liao Yaoxiang Corps.

At this time, Liu Yuzhang was very resourceful. First, he didn't enter the westward sequence of rescuing Jinzhou. Second, he got the excellent job of occupying the sea port and getting through the sea traffic. Third, after October 21, one of his troops occupied the front line of Anshan Yingkou and sealed off the news tightly, so that the Liaonan Liberation Army had no idea of this large army preparing to abscond.

Liu Yuzhang knew at a glance that Shenyang had become a place of death, so he had no need to be buried with him, so he prepared for war in Yingkou and held the Shiqiaozi position in the north of Yingkou. Lin Biao defeated Liao Yaoxiang's regiment and attacked Shenyang with his main force. At the same time, he woke up the loophole in Yingkou's direction. So Deng Hua, Duan Suquan and Zhan Caifang, who had just captured fan Hanjie in Jinzhou, and the only second division of southern Liaoning Province, went south to Yingkou on a starry night after the annihilation of the Liao regiment. Slogans were posted along the way: "the 52nd people's Liberation Army! Catch Liu guangtou alive On the 29th, Duan Suquan, the first battalion, rode on horseback, neither searched nor evacuated. He advanced from Niuzhuang to Yingkou and arrived at Shiqiaozi position in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, Liu Yuzhang's 25th division was under close cover, and almost all the avant-garde troops were destroyed. On the morning of the 30th, eight vertical, nine vertical and Yangtze River detachment made a full attack on Yingkou position. At this time, there was the sea behind and the tiger wolf division more than three times that of the 52nd army in front. Liu Yuzhang's subordinates knew that there was no way out. They were all red eyed and fought back with five regiments. Just after the victory, the PLA did not expect that the enemy would set such a trap and retreat for more than ten miles. Liu Yuzhang was bold and defensive. Our army was tired of long-range attack and didn't carry heavy weapons. The division headquarters of our 25th division was defeated (the 25th division of our 52nd army fought against the 25th division of our 52nd Army). About 1700 people were captured and many confidential documents were seized. This battle is mentioned in the book Liaoshen battle and in the book Liaoshen battle. According to the history of the war in Tono, 1700 people were captured in the 25th division. Maybe Chen Guang was removed, which has something to do with the war.

Chase to Shiqiaozi. Five regiments were blocked by a reinforced battalion and were not defeated within the specified time!

A tiny bit of land was sardine, which was then led by the Kuomintang navy commander Gui Yongqing, who arrived in Yingkou off the coast of Chongqing by the Navy. Liu Yuzhang was worried about the confusion. Before boarding the ship, he ordered that the platoon leaders should be in the first place. When they arrived at the entrance of the ship, the platoon leader of the company would stop and monitor the platoon soldiers of the company. After all the platoon soldiers got on the ship in turn, the last person would follow up, and then the commander of the battalion regiment division, and so on. The secret service battalion and company of each army were arranged in two opposite rows at the entrance of each ship at the wharf, with only one column in the middle Pass, strictly abide by
