The 25th Liaocheng Incident

The "Loyal and Filial Piety Group" is a reactionary armed group of landlords in the north of Yanggu City. The main leading figures are the landlords Liu Qingquan, Liu Qinglan brothers and others.

Liu Qingquan only studied in private school, his mind is very old-fashioned, and he has the idea of a feudal emperor. Liu Qinglan was a person who had studied in middle school and was full of promotion and fortune, and they falsely claimed that as long as they drank talismans and recited mantras, they would be invulnerable, and they used burning incense to worship Buddha to confuse the masses, and many people were deceived by them.

They organized the "Big Knife Society" and "Red Gun Society" in the north of Yanggu City, nominally "resisting grain and donations", but in fact their slogan was: "Down with ***, oppose Fan Zhuxian." It was a feudal organization instigated by the Kuomintang and used by pro-Japanese traitors.

When the faction represented by Shen Honglie and Li Shuchun conspired in every possible way to sabotage the anti-Japanese base in northwest Shandong that was jointly founded by Fan Zhuxian, they colluded with the landlords and bureaucrats of Yanggu, the original old department, and the Kuomintang reactionaries Li Shixiu, Li Liru, Chen Shouyun and others, secretly colluded with the reactionary sects, and cultivated them, waiting for an opportunity to reverse the norm.

Li Shixiu and Li Liru served as county magistrates in the Han Fuyu era, and Chen Shouyun was the nephew of Chen Yaohan, a small warlord who started with the suppression of the Communist Party, and worked as a police officer. He appeared locally as a landlord and a squire. Chen Shouyun and the Liu brothers are related again.

Shen Honglie and Li Shuchun took advantage of the relationship with Tong Guò to connect with them and jointly carry out the movement of the best calculation.

After the fall of Liaocheng, the "Loyal and Filial Piety Regiment" did all kinds of evil in the Yanggu area south of Liaocheng, and Fan Zhuxian's 27th detachment Han Dianqing's department was intercepted and disarmed by Zhao Erhu's department in Anle Town, and more than 200 people were buried alive. Except for Han Dianqing, who escaped with dozens of people, all of them were wiped out, causing a great tragedy of Chinese killing Chinese.

They also knew that they had come to an end, and they were anxious to find political backers, and the "Loyal and Filial Piety Regiment" headed by Zhao Erhu and the landlord armed forces in the Yanggu Shatuji area officially surrendered to the Japanese and became traitors.

It's really a chaotic autumn, fish and dragons are mixed, mules and horses, shrimps and kings, all walking on their own tracks. The "Loyal and Filial Piety Regiment" went against the sky, and sooner or later it was crushed by the wheel of history, which added a layer of heavy haze to the cloudy sky in the history of Luxi!

On the morning of November 14, Fan Zhuxian and Han Xing sent Han Duofeng to Yanggu, and then stepped up their inspection of the fortifications in various places to prepare to deal with the enemy from Jinan.

It's really a mountain rain coming and the wind is full of buildings, and in this period of time, a series of events have occurred in Liaocheng. At the beginning of August 1938, the Huangsha Meeting took place in Dan Town, Changqing County (now part of Dong'e County). They intercepted Fan Zhuxian's troops, attacked sentries everywhere, killed people and grabbed guns. In mid-October, there was another seventh-level town in Yanggu County, the "Loyal and Filial Piety Regiment"**, who also made trouble with Fan Zhuxian's anti-Japanese troops everywhere, killing people and grabbing guns.

Both of these times were quelled by Fan Zhuxian's personal persuasion in person.

In late October, there was another Huangsha meeting in Zhaoguantun Town, Changqing County. Qiu Zuocheng, the leader of the Huangsha Society, claimed to be the commander of the "suppression of the Communist Party" in Luxi Jiu County, and openly put forward the slogan of "Down with Fan Zhuxian and expel ***". Fan Zhuxian sent four guerrilla detachments to suppress them, and finally suppressed them.

After Fan Zhuxian returned to Liaocheng from Nangong, in early October, he convened a joint meeting of the military and government in northwest Shandong to implement the spirit of the Nangong Conference.

Shen Honglie saw that Fan Zhuxian was getting farther and farther away from the Kuomintang, and closer and closer to ***, and he couldn't help but be angry. It was inconvenient for them to come forward, so they secretly sent Zhao Chang, the head of the "Loyal and Filial Piety Regiment", to contact Tian Yuaner, the head of the Liaocheng secret service, and then to Jinan to contact the Japanese secret service, and conspired to agree on the plan to launch the Northwest Lu Hui Daomen ** and cooperate with the Japanese army to attack Liaocheng.

In the Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui led the Qing soldiers into the customs and broke Li Zicheng. Today, there is a "loyal and filial piety group" to secretly lure the little devil into Liaocheng and attack Fan Zhuxian. If there were no internal thieves, how could the Japanese army move so quickly and ferociously.

In mid-November, Yanggu, Shouzhang, and Dong'e counties set off a "loyalty and filial piety group" of tens of thousands of people. Only then did Liao Anbang arrange for Wang Jinxiang to call Fan Zhuxian and ask Fan Zhuxian to go to Anle Town in Yanggu County to make a pacifying speech to the disciples, and conspired to take the opportunity to assassinate Fan Zhuxian on the spot. At this time, Fan Zhuxian received information that the Japanese army stationed in Jinan was building a pontoon bridge and preparing to cross the Yellow River to attack Liaocheng, so he could only send Han Duofeng to escape the catastrophe.

Intelligence was constantly sent to Fan Zhuxian, and there were three main groups of enemies attacking Liaocheng this time. One was the Hirata Brigade of the Suematsu Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Jiji, which attacked directly from Jinan to Liaocheng. On the afternoon of November 13, more than 300 people crossed the Yellow River from Dong'a Yushan and rushed straight to Liaocheng, coming fiercely, and arrived at Li Haiwu in the south of Liaocheng on the morning of the 14th.

Li Haiwu is only 18 miles away from Liaocheng County, and if you run, it will take more than an hour to arrive, and the situation is already quite critical. Fan Zhuxian hurriedly ordered Wang Laixian, the nearest first-way people's army, to block the enemy.

Another group of enemy forces was Gao Tang's enemy, who launched an attack on Gao Tang's Fan Zhuxian's army, attracting a part of Fan Zhuxian's army.

There was also an enemy force of the Japanese army of the Daimyo, who launched an attack on 10 detachments in Guanxian. At this time, the main force of the 10th detachment was assisting the local party in the work of Wenshang and Ningyang, and it was too late to rush back for reinforcements. The remaining troops of the 10th detachment had to block the enemy attacking by the daimyo in the area of Xiaotan in Guanxian County.

The 5th, 6th, and 21st detachments in the southeast, Fan Zhuxian had ordered them to come for reinforcements. But the "Loyal and Filial Piety Regiment" in Shouzhang, Yanggu, and Dong'abian was happening**, preventing their actions.

Fan Zhuxian also had more than a dozen detachments that were approaching the Jinpu line to fight against Japan, and after receiving Fan Zhuxian's order, they also hurried back to help, but they were all stopped by the "Loyal and Filial Piety Regiment" on the way.

In the Liaocheng Guerrilla General Headquarters, Fan Zhuxian put down the phone, his face was gloomy and his mood was heavy. He said to Han Xing: "Deputy Commander Han, the situation is not optimistic. What are we going to do? ”

Han Xing thought to himself, as expected, there was no historical record, this battle was fought quite passively, so he had to say: "Commander Fan, Liaocheng is a dead city, and it is impossible to defend it militarily. We've got to prepare for the worst, and we'd better get all the offices and factories out of here! We fought guerrilla warfare with the devils outside the city. ”

Fan Zhuxian nodded, and hurriedly asked the headquarters to give an order, all organs and factories were withdrawn, and those that could not be withdrawn were blown up or burned. All the common people also moved around to avoid being mutilated by the enemy. All supplies must be fortified and cleared, and the enemy cannot be left with a grain of grain or firewood.

With an order, the whole Liaocheng took action, and the organs and factories were taking the final action because they had been prepared for a long time. The common people of the whole city also helped the old and the young, and pulled the cart with oxen, and all the altars and jars, as long as they could be moved, must not be left to the enemy.

Han Xing said to Fan Zhuxian again: "Although the enemy has three ways, the others are not terrible, only this group of devils in Jinan poses the greatest threat to us." As long as he resists him, other devils don't have to worry about it for the time being. As for the rebellion of the Loyal and Filial Piety Group, it is not a big deal, as long as the devils retreat, it is not too late to clean them up. ”

Fan Zhuxian nodded, "That's right, let's go to Wang Laixian." Wang Laixian's men and horses, and their lack of actual combat experience in fighting devils is really worrying. As long as we go, cheer them on, and give them command, we won't be afraid of these hundreds of little devils. ”

Han Xing nodded and said, "Then let's hurry to Li Haiwu, shall we?" ”

Fan Zhuxian and Han Xing had just walked out of the door of the guerrilla headquarters with the guard troops, when Li Shuchun suddenly arrived in a car. He got out of the car, stopped Fan Zhuxian and said, "Commander Fan, I was looking for you, where are you going?" ”

Fan Zhuxian asked in surprise: "At this time, why are you here?" ”

Li Shuchun said: "It's so difficult to find you, I look for you everywhere, but I can't find you anywhere." You either go here to speak, or there to counterinsurgency, or go to the front. ”

Fan Zhuxian said a little anxiously: "The front line is tight, I need to go to the front line to command the battle!" ”

Li Shuchun was also a little anxious and said: "Just a few little devils, do you still have to drive you to go out in person!" It's enough to have them. Let's get down to business! ”

"What's the right thing, fighting devils is the right thing." Fan Zhuxian didn't want to pay attention to him, so he rushed to Li Haiwu as much as he could.

Li Shuchun grabbed Fan Zhuxian's sleeve and said, "There are too many things in this paragraph, I want to talk to you well, and I finally found you." You don't know when we'll be able to meet, but anyway, I'm going to talk to you about work. ”

Fan Zhuxian couldn't bear Li Shuchun's entanglement, so he had to say to Han Xing: "You go first, stabilize your position, and I can talk to Director Li about work." ”

How dare Han Xing let Fan Zhu stay here first, staying here is a dead end. He said to Fan Zhuxian anxiously: "Commissioner Fan, can't you talk about something outside the city?" Wouldn't it be better to talk on the front line, why do you have to talk about it in the city? Liaocheng is a dangerous city, and if you stay for one more minute, you will be more dangerous. ”

Li Shuchun had long been dissatisfied with Han Xing, and at this time he took the opportunity to stimulate Fan Zhuxian and said: "I thought who was afraid of the devil, it turned out to be Commander Han!" If you want to say that others are afraid of devils, then there is something to complain about, but you are the chief of staff of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and Han Xing, who has made great achievements! Tens of thousands of devils have asked you to slaughter, are you still afraid of these little 300 devils! ”

was so angry that Han Xing scolded in his heart, this Li Shuchun, don't look at the war, it's too exciting. Then it was then, there was the Air Force, there were 10 detachments, there were 13 detachments and 32 detachments, but what is there now? Only Wang Laixian's first route of people's army, can they be expected to fight, they are really empty in their hearts, and they have no bottom at all.

Li Shuchun's words did work for Fan Zhuxian, and he said to Han Xing: "Deputy Commander Han, you go to Li Haiwu first and take a look." I finished talking with Director Li and went right away. ”

Han Xing was horrified in his heart, if Fan Zhuxian really stayed here, it would be goodbye, so he could only resolutely say to Fan Zhuxian: "Commander Fan, you can't stay here for a long time, it's just a big matter, and it's not too late to discuss it another day." The Japanese army is only 18 miles away from here, and it will be there in a blink of an eye, so you better follow me quickly! ”

Li Shuchun stimulated Fan Zhuxian and said: "I can't complain that I listen to others, the commander listens to the deputy commander, and the hearing is false, and when I see it today, seeing is believing." Han Xing, Han Xing, you are the deputy commander, you can't blackmail Commander Fan like this, don't forget to dig wells, don't forget, how did you become the deputy commander. Commander Fan is not a three-year-old child, a battle-hardened veteran general, how can he be afraid of these little devils! ”
