Chiang Kai-shek had a good calculation, but [***] and others were not stupid, after reading the telegram sent by Chen Cheng in the name of the commander of the Wuhan Garrison Command, [***] and others knew what Chiang Kai-shek wanted to do. However, since Lao Jiang finally became generous this time, and this time it was different from the last time he added a number to Han Yunhua's department, this time this fruit is not poisonous or thorny, so you can eat it with confidence. After careful consideration, [***] and others still decided to accept the conditions of the national political axe, allowing Han Yunhua's department to accept the medal of the national political axe, and also allowing Han Yunhua and other officers to hang this blue sky white medal on their chests.

In just two hours, a unit of about 1,800 people wearing army uniforms was urgently airlifted to Hukou by the Kuomintang, and under the protection of Han Yunhua's department, they completely took over the more than 30 warships. Of course, Han Yunhua himself was not stupid, he did not hand over all the ships to the national political axe, but with Chen Cheng's approval, he left three gunboats for emergencies.

Chen Cheng and the bigwigs of the navy now value the more than 20 large warships the most, as for those gunboats and patrol boats, they have not taken it to heart, and Han Yunhua said that after the battle of Wuhan, these three gunboats will be returned to the national political axe. Since they even gave these more than 30 giant ships, of course they didn't care about these three small gunboats, so Chen Cheng and Admiral Chen Shaokuan, the commander of the navy, happily agreed to Han Yunhua's request.

After seeing the officers and men leave, Han Yunhua immediately commanded his troops to establish a new air defense position, and it would not be long before the air force of the Yue Army would reach the sky above the Hukou Fortress, and at that time it would definitely launch a bloody revenge against Han Yunhua's troops.

It was already past four o'clock in the morning, less than two hours before dawn. Therefore, Han Yunhua ordered the 1st Regiment of the Guisui Garrison Brigade, which had been hiding and waiting for duty, to immediately take over the fortifications of Hukou County, and the 88th Regiment, which had been fighting all night, immediately went into the mountains to rest.

Fortunately, Han Yunhua found a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns from the warships of the Yue Army, and these anti-aircraft machine guns were used by warships to deal with aircraft, and their surnames were extremely high. In order to give the military planes a "surprise," Han Yunhua set up a total of 49 small air defense positions in Hukou County, and these 49 small air defense positions together can form a large air defense system covering the entire Hukou County. Of course, this air defense system is still very rudimentary, and there is not even a single concrete fortification. All the positions were made up of makeshift houses and bunkers, and their defenses were extremely fragile and could not withstand the bombardment of the Japanese army. However, as long as it is fought well, it can still inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army and air force.

At the same time, Han Yunhua also ordered Jiang Spruce's regiment stationed in the Hukou Fortress to also set up an air defense system around the fort of the Hukou Fortress to prevent the planes of the Chinese army from bombing the fortress.

Han Yunhua's hunch is very accurate, although Han Yunhua's political sense is indeed not very good, but Han Yunhua's military command ability is still very clever. A group of military planes appeared in the sky above the Hukou Fortress just a day, first reconnaissance planes, the number of which was only about 7 or 8, then fighters, the number of which was about 60 or more, and finally the main bomber of today, which was also the largest, about 80 planes. The total number of planes of this air force exceeded 150, which was the largest number of missions dispatched by the air force since the beginning of the war. However, just when Han Yunhua was worried about how to deal with such a large air force, the plane of the Yue Army miraculously flew over the Hukou fortress and flew towards the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, apparently looking for the traces of those warships.

Because the reconnaissance planes of the Chinese army did not find any traces of the sinking of the warships on the Yangtze River, and did not even find a single oil stain, then it is most likely that the vast majority of these warships were captured by the Chinese army. Therefore, the commander of the air force of the army did not immediately retaliate against the defenders of the Hukou fortress, but pursued along the Yangtze River.

However, not long after the military plane took off, the Wuhan side received a telegram that a large number of Chinese air forces were waiting for them in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

Han Yunhua saw that the threat from the sky was temporarily lifted, so Han Yunhua ordered Li Dayong to guard the fortress at Hukou. And he himself led the rest of the more than 8,000 people to march in the direction of Peng Ze, preparing to launch a surprise attack on Peng Ze's army.

Besides, General Tian Junliu, the commander of the enemy before the Battle of Wuhan of the Central China Front, thought that he had heard it wrong, after receiving the report of the torpedo boats and troop carriers that had escaped. Then, he received a telegram from Major General Shigeichi Hata, commander of the Hatata detachment, saying that the 3rd Brigade of the headquarters was surrounded by the Shina military headquarters at Hukou, and that a large group of marines went to the rescue but was defeated and suffered heavy losses. Half an hour ago, the 3rd Brigade completely lost contact with the headquarters, and it is expected that the 3rd Brigade has been completely wiped out, and the jade for His Majesty the Emperor has been shattered.

Tian Junliu sat on the ground with his buttocks, and it took a while to recover. Tian Junliu, who had recovered from his recovery, immediately contacted Nagumo Zaoko, the head of the intelligence department of the Central China Front, and he wanted to know what was going on, the always unenterprising Shina army dared to take the initiative to launch an attack on the great imperial army, and suddenly forced the imperial army to a dead end.

Soon after, Nagumo Zaozi, who was far away in Shanghai, sent a telegram saying that according to the intelligence personnel lurking in Wuhan, a large number of high-ranking military and political officials of the Wuhan Nationalist Political Axe had just been summoned to Chiang's mansion by Chiang, including He Yingqin, minister of military affairs, Chen Cheng, commander of the Wuhan Garrison Command, and Cheng Zerun, director of the Military Service Administration. These men stayed at Chiang's mansion for less than an hour and then hurried away, but everyone was extremely excited when they looked at the expressions of those high-ranking officials as if something happy had happened.

Seeing this, the sixth general Tian Jun secretly said "Baga", and the senior officials of the Zhina will definitely be very happy if they completely annihilate a detachment of the empire. Then General Tian Jun read down the place he had just looked, and saw that Nagumo Zaoko's tone suddenly changed and said: "Your Excellency Commander, according to the report of the intelligence officers lurking in Wuhan, not long ago, a well-known [***] unit of China arrived in Wuhan, although there is only one brigade in the establishment of this branch of the army, but the combat effectiveness of this brigade is extremely strong, which is not inferior to any brigade of the first division of the empire. And the external name of the infantry brigade led by this China [***] is "The 77th Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army of China", and its commander is called Han Yunhua, that is, this Han Yunhua and his troops defeated General Terauchi Shouichi, and finally even the military towns in the Mongolian region were lost to Suihe and Baotou, and the commander of the Mongolian Corps, Lieutenant General Lian Nupan, was forced to cut his stomach by this Han Yunhua. According to the question of His Excellency the Commander, it can be preliminarily determined that the Zhina unit that attacked the Third Brigade and the Third Fleet should be this Reading 77 Brigade, because the garrison of this Reading 77 Brigade is Hukou County and the entire Hukou Fortress. ”

Now that there are clues, it is easy to check, and soon the information about the activities of the 77th Brigade during this period was reported to the Central China Front Command. Halfway through it, General Tian Junliu had already concluded that it must be the 77th Brigade of the Zhina Reading Force that attacked the Third Fleet and the Third Brigade of the Hatian Detachment. The furious General Tian Junliu was furious, and immediately issued a killing order in the name of the commander of the Central China Front, no matter which unit encountered this 77th Brigade of Reading Force, it must be completely annihilated at all costs. If the strength is not sluggish, then try your best to entangle the department, wait for the command to formulate a complete plan, and send other troops to strangle. Subsequently, General Tian Shunroku ordered the commander of the 11th Army, Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji, to send troops to urgently support the Hatada detachment in case the Shina army took advantage of the victory to counterattack Madang Fortress. Then General Tian Shunliu sent a telegram to Vice Admiral Tokugawa Yoshitoshi, commander of the aviation regiment, ordering the aviation regiment to immediately send the main force to find the traces of the Third Fleet that had been attacked by the Chinese army, and if there were still warships in the Third Fleet resisting, then the aviation regiment should rescue the Third Fleet at all costs and protect the remaining warships to return to the Jiangyin fortress smoothly. If there is no one left in the Third Fleet to resist, then the Air Corps will be responsible for sinking all the warships in order to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Chinese Navy.

Of course, General Tian Junliu did not forget to tell Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi to take good care of Han Yunhua's headquarters stationed in the Hukou area when he returned. In fact, there is no need for the six generals of Tian Junliu to explain, and Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi will do the same. Because Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi's aviation regiment and Han Yunhua's department are already old acquaintances, Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi's aviation regiment was originally the North China Front Temporary Aviation Corps, and on August 2, 1938, the base camp ordered it to be reorganized into an aviation regiment and incorporated into the Central China Dispatch Army, with its headquarters in Nanjing. Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi's Aviation Regiment is under the command of: 1st Flying Regiment (Commander Major General Shozo Terakura), under the 16th Flight Squadron (Captain Etsuji Nagakigawa), 77th Flying Brigade (Captain Takeda Monojiro Osa), and 31st Flying Brigade (Captain Takahashi Tsuneyoshi Osa). The 3rd Flying Regiment (Regiment Commander Major General Hara Michita) is under the command of: 17th Squadron of Reading Flight (Captain Kiyoshi Tsumiya), 10th Squadron of Reading Flight (Captain Kiyoshi Kimura), 45th Flying Squadron (Captain Yoshida Dingnan Osa), and 75th Flying Team (Captain Toyoji Akiyama). The 4th Flying Regiment (Commander Major General Tomo Fujita) is under the command of: Flying 64th Sentai (Captain Terasai Tamiya Shosa), Flying No. 60 Sentai (Captain Nakatsu Moritaka Osa), Flying 98th Sentai (Captain Hattori Takeshi Osa), and Reading Flying No. 18 Squadron.

In the past, Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi's aviation regiment was only a temporary aviation regiment subordinate to the headquarters of the North China Front, and its establishment was very small, so it repeatedly failed in operations against Han Yunhua's headquarters, and the biggest result was the destruction of thousands of civilian houses, which caused great economic losses to the base areas under the jurisdiction of Han Yunhua's headquarters. The most frustrating thing was that in April this year, when a bomber squadron of Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi's Provisional Air Corps was ordered to bomb Daqingshan, where Han Yunhua's headquarters was stationed, it found that there was thick smoke billowing out of Daqingshan and the surrounding area, and the pilot's vision on the plane was seriously disturbed, and two bombers even collided in the sky over Daqingshan, and in the end, the bombing squadron, which could not find the bombing target, had to return home.
