In the "Battle of Zaoyi", Liu Fagui's troops encountered the Japanese army, Liu Fagui fled without a fight, he felt that the headquarters of the 33rd Group Army was the safest, so he led his troops to retreat towards General Zhang Zizhong's headquarters, so the location of General Zhang Zizhong was exposed, resulting in General Zhang Zizhong's death when breaking through.
