Major Liu personally had his troops in the assaults against greatly superior army forces and in four-day hand-to-hand combat annihilated the army near Nkangar. His personal courage and self-sacrifices above and beyond the call of duty vastly inspired his troops in this engagement. Again at Kanhima, Major Liu led his troops in the occupation of ****, forced march laid siege to Fambka which greatly aided in the capture of the paint.
