Chapter 159: The Battle of Wuhan: Hukou Offensive and Defensive Battle (10)

In fact, Han Yunhua's doing so was also carefully considered. After all, this is not a matter of a dozen guns and a few cannons, this is almost all the main warships of a Japanese detachment. And the time is relatively tight. The Japanese planes were sure to come after dawn, and the battleships that were not piloted by the naval soldiers by that time would certainly be the target of the Japanese bombers. Therefore, before the battle on land was over, Han Yunhua sent a telegram to the Party Central Committee, asking how to deal with the captured warships.

** It is also difficult to make a decision, according to his conscience, he does not want Han Yunhua to hand over these warships to Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek's personality is ** knows better than anyone else, he does not think that Chiang Kai-shek will live in peace with ** people for a long time. But now, when the righteous country is in danger, these warships will definitely add a great water force to this suffering nation.

However, what makes ** tangled is that due to the difficult conditions, ** people have not had their own water troops until now, and even Han Yunhua, who has a relatively complete range of arms, does not have a sailor unit. Even if Han Yunhua didn't want to leave this fleet by himself, it was impossible, and in the end, out of consideration for the future and destiny of the country and the nation, ** decided to leave this matter to Han Yunhua himself.

Without the authorization of the Party Central Committee, Han Yunhua himself would not dare to deal with this batch of warships casually, you must know that it will soon be a famous rectification movement, Han Yunhua has long known that he is not a good athlete, if he wants to live well in the future, then he can't leave any stain now. Moreover, when getting along with the Kuomintang, no matter how big or small, you must be instructed by the higher-level leaders, otherwise you will not be able to tell if you have a mouth after you will be investigated in the future.

After Chen Cheng received the telegram from Han Yunhua, his first feeling was that he did not believe that a Japanese army with a fully loaded detachment had been captured by the army, which had never had any ships, which was simply a fantasy. But Chen Cheng also knew that a high-ranking general like Han Yunhua would not make such a joke, especially at this critical juncture.

Chen Cheng immediately called back to inquire about the specific situation, and repeatedly asked Han Yunhua to guarantee the authenticity of the military situation. In the end, it was Han Yunhua who used the honor of a soldier to assure this Commander Chen that Chen Chengcai finally believed that Han Yunhua's troops had truly annihilated the Japanese Third Fleet. And the third brigade of the Botian detachment was directly ignored by Chen Cheng subconsciously, in the face of such a major victory, the third brigade this small fish can only be regarded as the icing on the cake, can not be regarded as a meal, here we mourn for the Japanese army of the third brigade, these guys can not attract the attention of the Chinese, it is really not worth dying.

If it were in peacetime, the annihilation of an infantry brigade of the Japanese army would also be a great victory, whether it was the national government or the special government of the border area, it would be a great publicity, but now under the dazzling halo of the Third Fleet, the third brigade was directly ignored, and even Han Yunhua himself subconsciously forgot about it, until he saw Wan Guoquan walking into the temporary headquarters with a broken Japanese military flag, Han Yunhua remembered that there was still a stupid Japanese infantry that had not been solved.

Han Yunhua's conditions are simply not a problem for the Nationalist Government, there is no need to discuss at all, compared with a large fleet, the equipment and a bullet production line required by a reorganized division can be calculated by a fool who is higher or lower. Therefore, Chen Cheng sent people to urgently use the air force to airlift an infantry regiment that had been changed from the navy that was resting in Wuhan to Hukou, and on the other hand, he sent people to open up all the shipping lanes along the route from Hukou to Wuhan, and to block them immediately after the fleet passed. At the same time, Chen Cheng did not forget to personally go to Chiang Kai-shek's mansion to report Chairman Chiang's victory.

Like Chen Cheng's performance, Jiang Mou, who has always been calm, sat up in shock when he heard the news, and then said happily: "Okay, good, worthy of being a good man in my country." The army completely annihilated a naval detachment, such an astonishing thing as Han Yunhua was only capable of it, wasn't it just the equipment of a division? Give him, send another car to Mao in Yan'an, and equip the South Korean department with a heavy machine gun battalion, which can allow the ministry to recruit some soldiers in the Hukou area as a supplement to the unit. In addition, the whole army of the Korean Ministry was awarded a collective first-class meritorious service, and Han himself was awarded the first-class "Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun", and I personally awarded him the medal when he went to Wuhan after the war. You just told Mao, Zhu, Zhou and others that the battle of South Korea not only played the prestige of the Chinese people, but also saved the overall situation of Wuhan, without the support of the navy, it would be absolutely difficult for the Japanese to advance half a step. As long as my squadron actively resists, it will definitely recover Madang and Jiangyin fortresses. It can be said that the Korean Ministry saved the entire nation in this war, and it has made great contributions to the entire nation, and I, Jiang Someone, have awarded the ministry a medal on behalf of the people of the whole country this time, and hope that Zhu Mao and others will allow him to accept the government's medal. As long as Han Yunhua's department accepts the state's medal, the government can consider giving ** another Category A brigade establishment. ”,

Chiang Kai-shek's generosity far exceeded Chen Cheng's expectations, you must know that when the Xi'an Incident in 36 years, when Chiang Kai-shek's own life was seriously threatened, Chiang Kai-shek was only willing to give the establishment of three divisions, and the rest were not willing to give a regiment. This is good, all of a sudden, there is an additional reorganization division and a type A brigade. Chen Cheng knows the weight of a reorganization division, and it can be said that a reorganization division of the three-three system can almost be equal to three B divisions, and a A brigade is not inferior to a B division, and it can almost be said that the national government has added four B divisions to ** at once. This is not counting the establishment and number of Han Yunhua's department, which must be upgraded this time, **This time it is to raise eyebrows.

However, thinking about Han Yunhua's achievements this time and the impact he could have, Chen Cheng's idea of opposing just now was dispelled in an instant. Perhaps Han Yunhua himself did not know what this battle meant, but Chen Cheng, a senior Kuomintang official and top general, knew the three flavors well.

Han Yunhua only knew that capturing this enemy fleet could deal a serious blow to the surface forces of the Japanese army and strengthen himself. At the same time, it can also inflict a heavy blow on the morale of the Japanese army and force the Japanese army to halt the intensity of the offensive. But Chen Cheng knew that the impact of this war was far greater than Han Yunhua imagined, and this impact was not only limited to the military level, but also involved many aspects such as politics and economy. The first is the influence of the military level, the reason why the Japanese army was able to occupy Jiangyin Fortress, Anqing, Madang Fortress, Pengze and other places in such a short period of time, and infinitely approached the periphery of Wuhan, completely relied on its joint advance of sea, land and air, and the three-dimensional tactics made the troops of the Nationalist Government almost powerless to fight back. The supply of the Japanese army was all transported by water, and once the navy was severely damaged, the Japanese army would not only suffer serious losses in surface strength, but also the Japanese army would also be seriously affected. The happiest thing for the Nationalist Government was that due to the strength of the Japanese navy, the Nationalist Government had to deploy a large number of troops to guard against the Japanese naval forces, and this time the Japanese Third Fleet suffered heavy losses, and with the exception of the heavy warships and battleships anchored in Shanghai Harbor, which were unharmed, almost the entire fleet was wiped out. Due to the limitations of the navy, if the Japanese army wants to retrain a new fleet, it will be impossible to complete it without a year and a half, and with the replenishment of these 30 warships, it can be said that the Chinese navy will occupy an absolute superiority in a short period of time on the Yangtze River alone, the offensive and defensive situation between China and Japan will change fundamentally, and the Nationalist Government will also be able to free up a large number of troops for the offensive.

Secondly, the battle almost completely annihilated the Japanese Third Fleet, which had a great international impact, since the beginning of the war, although China was defeated by the Japanese army one after another, even its own capital city of Nanjing was lost. Although countries in the world are sympathetic to China's plight, it is not a side proof of China's weakness, especially China's national defense. However, in spite of this, the Chinese army still fought many beautiful battles, whether it was the Battle of Taierzhuang or the Battle of Saibei not long ago, the Chinese army defeated the strong with the weak, and the Japanese army was defeated, and the major generals and lieutenant generals were killed one after another. But it was the Japanese army that lost it, and the Japanese navy did not suffer any losses. You must know that the foundation of an island country like Japan is its navy, and the most elite and combat-effective military of its country is also a navy, just like Britain in Western Europe. As long as the Japanese navy has not been damaged, then the Japanese army still has a chance to turn over, but once the Japanese navy is devastated, then the other arms of the Japanese army will be greatly affected, and Han Yunhua's move is a precedent for severely damaging the Japanese navy, which is an extremely serious blow to the morale of the Japanese army. At the same time, this battle under Han Yunhua's department can greatly boost the anti-fighting spirit of the Chinese people, and let the countries of the world see China's military might and military style, so that they can strive for foreign aid to the greatest extent.

Finally, the battle could also remove the Japanese Navy's threat to the Yangtze River waterway. Although this dismantling is only a short-term dismantling and cannot fundamentally eliminate the threat of the Japanese Navy, as long as Japan is sending a new fleet, then the Chinese Navy must once again face the Japanese Navy's formidable enemy. However, due to the conditions of the Yangtze River waterway, it is expected that the Chinese Navy will not be as inactive as before. After all, the water of the Yangtze River is so deep, and the carrying capacity is so large, even if the Japanese army has such deterrent equipment as aircraft carriers and battleships, it is a pity that this kind of east and east cannot enter the Yangtze River. The largest and most useful warships in the Yangtze River are cruisers, but the Chinese Navy also has cruisers of this class, and there are more than one, so the threat of the Japanese army to the Yangtze River waterway will be greatly reduced in the future. At that time, the revitalization of the Yangtze River waterway will bring China's economy along the Yangtze River back to life, which will greatly benefit China's economic development.

That's why Chiang Kai-shek was so happy, so that he temporarily put aside decades of grievances and grievances with **. This is not that Chiang Kai-shek is overjoyed, but that Chiang Kai-shek has his own plans. How can such a big credit be enjoyed by ** exclusively, how can he Jiang have a piece of the pie, this is a great victory for the ages. But if you don't give **some benefits,** will definitely not do it, and those numbers and weapons and equipment will be used as hush money.
