personal anecdote

Liu maoen (1898-1983, from Gongyi, Henan Province, then commander in chief of the 14th group army)

Zhongtiaoshan campaign

Harada division of the Japanese army broke through the garrison position of longwangwo on the 10th and marched westward along the North Bank of the Yellow River. On November 11, the first war zone discovered that the river defense on the West Bank of the Yellow River was empty. It ordered Pei Changhui's troops, the 54th division and the first division of the 47th division to cross south from Guanyang to guard the South Bank of the Yellow River. The main forces of the new 24th division and the 47th division stayed in the mountainous areas of the western section of the Daoqing railway and Jiyuan mountainous areas for guerrillas. On that day, more than 100 Japanese planes bombed and blocked Guanyang East-West ferry. After heavy casualties, the 54th division crossed to Henan, and other divisions and regiments retreated to the mountains north of Shaoyuan. On the 12th, the Japanese army moved westward to Guanyang and took control of the ferries on the North Bank of the Yellow River. Its main force, Tanaka division, moved westward along fengmenkou to Shaoyuan and attacked the garrison together with Sakurai division, which moved eastward from Yuanqu

The inside lines of the group army are surrounded. In the north of the east side of Zhongtiao, the garrisons in this line mainly include the headquarters of Liu maoen group army, samurai min army, fan Hanjie army and the 93rd army of Liu Kan. On the evening of the 7th, the Japanese army launched an attack on the samurai min army. The samurai min led his troops to fight fiercely against the Japanese army on the East-West line of Dong Feng, repelling the Japanese attack many times. In the first World War of Wangcun, 2000 Japanese soldiers were defeated, and more than 700 people below Matsuo Hamada were killed. On the 10th, the general headquarters of the theater of war saw that all the main ferries between Jiyuan and Yuanqu were gradually blocked by the Japanese army, and the whole supply line of Liu maoen group army was interrupted. They ordered the main force west of Yangcheng to quickly transfer to the north of qinyi highway, so as to attack the Japanese army's flank with the method of looping through the gap. Before dawn, Liu maoen's army had a fierce battle with the Japanese army. At 4 p.m., the Japanese troops at the intersection gradually increased to 3000-4000, and captured geta and Meiping in Qingfeng. Erliyao, the joint between the 10th division and the samurai min army, was also broken through by more than 2000 Japanese troops. Shaoyuan's Japanese army was also pressing to the northwest,

The group army is in danger of being attacked on three sides. The guerrillas broke through and retreated northward. At the same time, they occupied the first defensive positions of zhongtiaoqu and Zhonglu county. After the 14th, Japanese troops continued to blockade the ferry and besieged Chinese troops in Zhongtiao Mountain area. The Garrison who stayed in the mountainous area suffered heavy losses and had to break through the encirclement separately to transfer to the Taiyue mountainous area, the Luliang mountainous area and the South Bank of the Yellow River. The Japanese army completed the double encirclement of the Chinese garrison.

He was surrounded by the Japanese army and failed to break through the encirclement several times. The situation was extremely dangerous. His left and right subordinates urged him to change his plain clothes and escape, but Liu maoen made a solemn reply. After that, he pulled out his pistol to commit suicide and was held by the servant. Liu maoen and the remaining officers and soldiers have run out of ammunition and food, and are ready to make a solemn and stirring contribution to the country. Fortunately, the wind and rain are raging, and the mountain torrents are rolling,

Former residence of Liu maoen

Liu maoen, a powerful figure in the Kuomintang, served as chairman of Henan Province for a long time in the Republic of China. He died in Taiwan in the 1970s. The former residence of Liu maoen was designed by famous architects in Shanghai during the Republic of China. The overall style can be described as "a combination of local and foreign cultures". There are both traditional cave dwellings and the most fashionable reinforced concrete houses at that time. But the whole building is mainly modern western style. The road in the gatehouse is divided into two different functional courtyards, North and south, overlooking the office buildings in the south district. The whole building complex is divided into two parts, North and south. The South courtyard is the office area and the north courtyard is the living area. Now the "western style building" in the South office area has become a dangerous building, and the door is locked. The living area of Beiyuan is composed of caves and "foreign buildings". The caves are still rough and strong. Part of the "foreign buildings" have collapsed, and the rest are in danger. On the East and north sides of the north courtyard are kaoshanyao, and on the other side are western style houses. The interior of the cave built with real materials shows the owner's financial resources. The feeling of western style building is a bit of Shanghai style.
