Liu Fengchi has not fought with the Japanese army, he has not only fought with the Japanese, but even worked in the puppet army under the Japanese for a period of time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In Liu Fengchi's eyes, although the Japanese army is powerful, it is not invincible, and they actually have many weaknesses. Moreover, the fighting of the Japanese army has been declining rapidly in the past two years, which Liu Fengchi has seen in his eyes, and he has not heard the news that the Eighth Route Army, which has a large establishment, has been completely annihilated for a long time.

But it was really surprising that more than 2,000 people were killed in one day like this, and the city was lost. It's just that Liu Fengchi didn't know that he was indeed fighting against a well-known elite unit in the Japanese army, and it was the main force of the 110th Division of the Japanese Army and the First Wing of the First Division of the Japanese Army that attacked Luanxian, and these two Japanese troops were not ordinary Japanese divisions.

Let's talk about the 110th Division first, the division was formed in June 1938 in Japan with the left-behind personnel of the 10th Division, and has jurisdiction over the 108th Infantry Brigade, the 133rd Infantry Brigade and the 110th Field Artillery Wing. In particular, the 110th Division was born out of the 10th Division, known as the "Iron Corps", and has a profound heritage.

After the 110th Division landed in Tanggu in July 1938, it has been subordinate to the North China Front, first stationed in the Shijiazhuang area, and then transferred to eastern Hebei.

Compared with the 110th Division, which has just been formed for less than two years, the 1st Division is even more remarkable for the operation, which is one of the first army divisions since the establishment of a modern army in Japan, and it is also adapted from the old Tokyo Town, so the 1st Division is often called the oldest division in the history of the Imperial Japanese Army.

Moreover, this division was also the vanguard of Japan's foreign expansion, and since its formation, it has been constantly fighting foreign wars, not only participating in the First Sino-Japanese War, but also participating in the Russo-Japanese War. From the end of the Meiji era until the Taisho period, he was in charge of guarding the capital Tokyo.

Later, however, due to the sharp deterioration of the relationship between the "Imperial Road faction" and the "control faction" within the Japanese army, Major General Nagata Tetsuyama, the head of the control faction, was killed by a young officer of the Imperial Road faction in the office of the army military affairs chief, and this incident also changed the fate of the 1st Division.

In December 1935, in order to combat the arrogance of the Imperial Sect, in order to combat the arrogance of the Imperial Sect, the staff officers of the Unification faction transferred the commander of the 1st Division, Yanagawa Heisuke, a member of the hardcore Imperial Sect, to the post of commander of the Taiwan Garrison Army, and then ordered the 1st Division, which had been stationed in Tokyo for 30 years, to be transferred to Manchuria.

The 1st Division was the base camp of the Imperial Dao faction, and this decision was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, which immediately angered the young officers of the Imperial Dao faction and prompted them to speed up the pace of "abnormal movements".

The following year, Keisuke Okada's cabinet collapsed after a no-confidence motion was raised by the Political Friendship Association, and the political situation in Japan was in turmoil. At the same time, the 1st Division's Military Judge Council began a public trial of Aizawa Nakasa. The young officers of the Imperial Sect misanalyzed the situation, believing that public opinion was critical of the public trial, and that the coup was "90% certain" of victory at a time when the situation was turbulent. In addition, the 1st Division was to leave for Manchuria in March, so the coup d'état had to be launched before the end of February.

On February 22, 1936, the order was issued for the division to go to Manchuria to garrison the cantonment, including the 1st Division. Some people believe that this is a deliberate attempt by the upper echelons to transfer those young Zhuang officers who are clamoring for "the side of the Qing monarch, absolute royal power, and the Showa Restoration" far away from the central government, in order to prevent the military from participating in politics, so they decided to launch a mutiny.

On February 26, the officers of the Imperial Road faction, based on the 1st Wing and the 3rd Wing of the 1st Division, gathered 21 officers, 94 non-commissioned officers, and 1,358 soldiers, divided into several teams, and began to move according to the predetermined plan. The "February 26 Incident" shocked the whole world to erupt. The rebel soldiers killed Minister Minoru Saito, Director of Education Watanabe Shotaro, and Minister of Finance Takahashi Isaki, seriously wounded the Emperor's attendant Kantaro Suzuki, and then occupied the Nagata area for four days.

On the 28th, at the repeated urging of the emperor, the hesitant military headquarters finally made up its mind to suppress it. With the Emperor's consent, Deputy Army Commander Sugiyama Motomo issued a "Decree of Honor" instructing the martial law commander to quickly evacuate the officers and subordinates who occupied Miyakezaka and return to their subordinate units. The order was then officially communicated to the 1st Division. The Martial Law Command decided to complete preparations for the repression on the 29th and began a crusade against the rebels.

The rebels held out for only three days before being brutally suppressed, and then the Judge Advocate General's Council sentenced 17 officers, including Isobe and Koda, who had played a leading role in the coup, to death. After the incident, the 1st Division was transferred to Manchuria as originally deployed.

After the full-scale outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the main force of the 1st Division was deployed in Sunwu, Qiqihar, and Bei'an, serving as the defense of northern Manchuria and participating in the Chahar operation. Later, because the Second Division was annihilated by Ma Zheng's headquarters in Chengde, the Kwantung Army Headquarters transferred the First Division from Qiqihar to the Shuangliao line, and after the 12th Division was annihilated by Ma Zheng's headquarters on the Tongliao Chifeng line, the Kwantung Army Headquarters strengthened its defense against Ma Zheng's headquarters, and the defense line of the First Division moved south again.

Half a year ago, the 1st Division received an order from the Kwantung Army Headquarters, asking them to cooperate with Yoshiko Kawashima's intelligence department and the 1st Navy Department to go to the eastern Hebei region to carry out the task of encircling and killing Ma Zheng.

As a result, Kawashima Yoshiko was captured by Ma Zheng because of his identity, and all the intelligence officers who went with him were killed, and without Kawashima Yoshiko's cooperation, the first division could only land in Qinhuangdao, and then it has been stationed on the front line of Qinhuangdao.

This time, Lieutenant General Tada Jun and General Umezu Mijiro decided to join forces to remove the threat of Ma Zheng's department, so the 1st Division naturally participated in the attack against Liu Fengchi's department.

Therefore, Liu Fengchi's temptation of the Japanese army was completely a stupid move, accidentally mentioned the iron plate, not to mention the loss of soldiers, and lost the city and land.

On the eastern Hebei side, China and Japan have their own victories and defeats, and it seems that the outcome is unpredictable, and the result is full of suspense.

The 110th Division did not stop after capturing Luanxian, except for an infantry brigade in Luanxian to guard the supply of heavy weapons, and the rest of the troops rushed to Qian'an immediately after lunch.

Upon learning that the Japanese were pursuing, Liu Fengchi immediately ordered the troops to set up minefields and blocking positions along the way, slowing down the Japanese army's march and depleting the Japanese army's vital strength.

By six o'clock in the afternoon of January 10, the 110th Division had already advanced to the junction of Luan County with Lulong and Qian'an, and the main force of the Japanese First Division with Lu Long had completed the rendezvous at Taipingzhuang.

The battle in the east does not seem to be ideal for Liu Fengchi, but Liu Fengchi is not worried, according to the battle plan formulated by all the senior officers of the former enemy command in eastern Hebei, the main combat task of Liu Fengchi's reorganized third division is to act as a bait to attract all the main forces of the Japanese army to Qian'an, and the reorganized third division and he Liu Fengchi are actually one or two pieces of fragrant fat, and his role is to attract the 110th Division, the military police wing in China and the first division of the Kwantung Army to Qian'an, and cooperate with the next big move of the large army.

In order to induce the main force of the Japanese army to gather in Qian'an, Liu Fengchi mobilized all the troops near Qian'an to Qian'an, and as early as a month ago, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians were mobilized to build Qian'an fortifications.

Moreover, the defense system of Qian'an was personally designed by Ma Zheng according to the geographical environment of Qian'an, and the entire defense circle of Qian'an has three layers from the outside to the inside, each layer is a group of reinforced concrete pillboxes and bunkers, and the trenches are wrapped in one layer, and there are hundreds of tons of reinforced concrete used alone.

Ma Zheng's plan was to use Liu Fengchi, the commander of the Renan Army Division and the commander of the Third Division, and the tens of thousands of troops of the Third Division as bait, so that the Japanese troops in eastern Hebei would attack the turtle shell of Qian'an, and do their best to consume the living forces of the Japanese army, and finally concentrate superior forces to completely defeat or even completely annihilate the Japanese puppet army in eastern Hebei, and solve the crisis in eastern Hebei once and for all.
