Liu Zhennian's sudden attack on the Korean army was sudden, but not unexpected. He has heard of the activities of the Korean army and has defense arrangements. Three defensive positions (Yexian, Laiyang and Yantai) were initially arranged, which were horns and helped each other. Give up Yantai when necessary and deal with the Korean army at the front lines of Yexian and Laiyang. Liu Zhennian thinks that South Korea's military action is not timely, that is, after the Central Plains War, the people are tired of war, and if South Korea dares to launch a civil war in Shandong, it will be opposed by the whole country. He estimated that the South Korean army, with a total of * * * but more than 40,000 people, should guard southern Shandong, northern Shandong and western Shandong, and up to 30,000 people can be transferred to Jiaodong, which is equivalent to their own strength. However, I am listless and familiar with geography, and my firepower and combat effectiveness may be worse. He ignored the national disaster and provoked war with arrogant soldiers, which can be described as deceiving the king and the people. Liu also believes that Chiang Kai-shek can be relied on, so he can fight World War I without fear of North Korea. So, he decided to personally go to Yee State to command the troops stationed in Yee State, while Laiyang's defense was handed over to his deputy He Heliang. At the same time, Liu Zhennian sent an urgent telegram to Chiang Kai-shek and He Fa in Nanjing, demanding an order to stop military operations against North Korea, and sent Han Dong, chief of staff, to Nanjing to report the situation.
The attack on Liu was for a quick decision. Cao Fulin, commander of the army, was the commander-in-chief of the former enemy who attacked Liu Jun. Later, he was split in two. However, due to the secrecy and slowness of the action, Liu Jun made preparations and lost the chance of sneak attack. As a result, it was blocked in Changyi and sneaked into Pingdu. When Han Jingwei County came to Changyi, his vanguard troops only entered Shahe, about 40 miles away from Yexian County. Han Fuju saw that the sneak attack failed, and Liu was anxious to Chiang Kai-shek, so he sent a "smart telegram" to the Nanjing government, stating that Liu was required to "hang the people and punish the crime" and at the same time redeploy his troops and launch a new attack. After receiving Liu's reply, Jiang and He ordered Han and Liu to "immediately stop military operations and wait for the central authorities to find out and deal with them". Han didn't stop attacking Chiang Kai-shek. North Korean troops attacked Yexian County, cutting off the traffic supply in Liu Jun. Liu Jun retreated into the city, according to the defenders of the city. The Korean army shelled the city and dropped bombs twice with two planes of the Northeast Navy. The fighting was fierce, but neither side suffered much. In the Battle of Yexian County, Liu's troops and organs stationed in Yantai withdrew from Yantai and concentrated in Laiyang. Liu Jun Laiyang border defense line is located in Shuigoutou, five miles southwest of the county seat. Guerrilla movements are also sent between Laiye and Iraq, but there is no big contact between the two armies in Laiyang.
In addition, I went to Nanjing to visit Jiang and arrived in Nanjing on September 24. When Chiang arrived in Lushan Mountain, Han Nai reported to the Chief of Staff of the Central Military Commission and the Minister of Military and Political Affairs on the military situation of Han's attack on Herry Liu, and released news to the press to arouse national public opinion's rebuke of Han, and then reported to Jiang in Lushan Mountain on September 27th. Hearing this, Jiang was furious and said, I asked him (Han Fuju) for two groups of people the other day, but he didn't agree. I didn't think he was attacking Liu Jun. It was so hateful that I wanted to kill him. Chiang Kai-shek was angry with South Korea for daring to "act first and then act second", and then he was angry with Han Fuju for flouting the central order. He couldn't bear it anymore, "trying to destroy him". So on June 5, 10, Liu and South Korea were ordered to cease fire within five days, and Xiong Bin, the second chief of staff, and Gao, the director secretary of the Military Commission, were sent as special commissioners to Shandong to supervise the retreat of both sides and return to their original defenses. At the same time, he decided to use force against South Korea. Xu Yao Ting, the fourth division of Bengbu, and his men joined Xuzhou and Herry Liu for the South Route Army in the north, and Yu Xuezhong was surrounded on three sides for the North Route Army along the Jin-Pu line in the south, and Liu Zhennian was sent to restrain the Korean army from retreating westward from behind, so that it could last for five days, so that the central authorities could make a clear crusade.
Han Fuju heard that Chiang Kai-shek was going to fight, and sent Sun troops to prepare for resistance in Lincheng area. He immediately called a truce and withdrew his troops, and welcomed Xiong and Lai Lu. He also sent Zhang Yue, a member of the provincial government, as a representative to Nanjing to plead guilty. At this time, the situation suddenly changed. When Chiang Kai-shek asked the south Korean army to advance to Tancheng, southern Shandong, Zhang Xueliang of Beiping suddenly sent electricity to North Korea and sent artillery regiment to support it. China delegates attending the League of Nations meeting heard Jiang's request for information from South Korea, and sent back a telegram from the United States saying: At present, the League of Nations meeting is particularly suitable for unity as diplomatic backing. Why not provoke internal disputes again? We should strictly stop the civil war in Shandong and go to the national disaster together. People from all walks of life in China also believe that the civil war will give the Japanese army an excuse to launch a new war of aggression against China, and they have called the Kuomintang Central Committee to ask them to try to solve the problem peacefully as soon as possible, so it is not appropriate to expand the situation. Under the pressure of national public opinion, Jiang turned to the policy of "mediation" and sent Jiang Bocheng and Xiong Bin to meet with Han and Liu respectively for mediation. However, Han once again played tricks, apparently obeying the central authorities, symbolically withdrawing some troops, secretly concentrating superior forces, and taking advantage of Liu's gathering of troops, he sent troops to occupy Yantai and nearby counties. Liu Ziran was dissatisfied with Han's tricks, but he was not afraid. Although I retreat from the front for the time being, I told my men that I know Han's two skills. If Nanjing lets me fight, I will fight wei county first and Jinan second. So the war broke out again. After Liu Jun failed to attack Yecheng, he retreated to Yecheng, and the two sides launched a gun battle. The 8th1Division of the Korean Army Exhibition Hall attacked Laiyang, defeated by Liu Buliang and Julie, and captured about three companies in the exhibition hall. 16/7,65438+,Han Rongguang, Xing and other three brigades attacked Laiyang, and Sun and other two divisions shelled Yecheng, but failed. 19, in what name did the Kuomintang Central Committee telegraph a cease-fire between Korea and Liu, and put forward four plans to delimit the defense zones of both sides: (1) From now on, the Korean army will withdraw to the west of Weihe River, and the withdrawal period will be limited to 26 days; (2) Liu Zhennian's troops were temporarily stationed in Fushan, Yexian, Laiyang, Qixia, Mu Ping and Longkou; (3) Penglai, Zhaoyuan, Huangxian, Haiyang, Wendeng, Rongcheng and Pingdu will not be stationed for the time being, and the original regiment police will be responsible for public security; (4) After the army moves, the rectified army discipline will be dominated by the central government. The South Korean representative proposed that Liu Jun withdraw from Yexian and stay in Wendeng, Haiyang and Rongcheng. Liu Fang insisted on maintaining the original defense. In the end, it was designated as the original defense zone by the Central Military Commission. Han Fuju saw that the central government was partial to Liu Zhennian and it was difficult to achieve the goal of monopolizing Shandong, so he threatened to resign. He offered to resign as the chairman of Shandong provincial government, including Lin Sen, Song Ziwen, Commander-in-Chief Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang, the chairman of Nanjing municipal government, but was not allowed. Liu Zhennian didn't want to give up Jiaodong, where he lived, but his subordinates advised him to make bad friends with the Korean family. Although I don't play for the time being, it is difficult to get along for a long time. Jiaodong corner is difficult to develop, taking Yang Hucheng as an example (transferred from Shandong in 2002-2003, covering Shaanxi and expanding Gansu) to incite ambition. Then Liu Zhennian felt that although Han Fuju started the Jiaodong War, it brought a lot of losses to the local people, and he was stationed in Jiaodong for several years, and he really felt sorry for the elders in Jiaodong. So the telegram was sent from Shandong to Nanjing government. And instructed his representative chief of staff, Han Dong, to meet Chiang Kai-shek. Jiang asked where he would like to transfer, and Han asked Liu and Liu Fudian: Haizhou, Xuzhou, eastern Henan and western Henan can be used. Jiang Jun turned his back on the original garrison in various places. Liu said: You can be transferred to any area except Jiangxi to fight against the Red Army. Jiang wanted to transfer Liu to Suixian and Zaoyang, Hubei Province, but Xia Douyin, a local strongman, refused. After transferring to Ningbo, it was opposed by Zhejiang. Finally, I moved to Wenzhou.
Liu Zhennian was expelled from Shandong, and Han Fuju finally unified Shandong and truly became the "King of Shandong". Liu Zhennian transferred to Shandong, but he did not develop like Yang. 1933 1 month, Liu Zhennian went to Nanjing to see Chiang Kai-shek, and asked to restore the army establishment, which was rejected. Two months later, Liu was transferred to Hekou Town, Jiangxi Province. On the way, an infantry battalion mutinied, and Liu Zhennian called it back to the army. Soon, Nanjing ordered Liu's third brigade to be directly under the "base camp", and Liu Zhennian angrily left the army and went to Hangzhou to "recuperate". Chiang Kai-shek instructed Huangpu student Li to strengthen control over this unit. 1in July, 933, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Lu Diping, Chairman of Zhejiang Province, to put Liu Zhennian under house arrest. 1934 was imprisoned in Manao Temple, West Lake, Hangzhou. 1935 February, a joint military court with Gu as the presiding judge opened. On May 13 of the same year, Liu Zhennian was shot and killed in the eastern suburb of Nanchang on the charge of "causing casualties".
