On the afternoon of the 28th..., that is, after Chen Cheng arrived at the front line of Wanjialing's house, it was confirmed that Han Yunhua's division had annihilated the 106th Division, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Xue Yue to completely annihilate the enemy before 24 o'clock on October 28, ending the battle, as a gift to the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, Xue Yue ordered each unit to select 200 to 500 brave soldiers to form a brave team to serve as the vanguard assault. At the same time, all ministers and officials were all in front of the command, and Xue Yue himself was also on the front line. At half past eight, artillery fire was prepared. At nine o'clock sharp, the Brave Brigade attacked, followed by the main forces, and launched a full-line attack on the Japanese troops who were compressed in the area of Upper East Mountain. The troops rushed forward one after another, stepping on the corpses and rushing violently. After three hours of bloody fighting, the defensive positions of the 27th Division completely collapsed.

The fierce battle lasted until one o'clock in the morning of the 29th, the 74th Army regained Shangdong Mountain, and the remnants of the 27th Division retreated to Coffin Mountain to wait for reinforcements. At this time, the 27th Division had less than 1,000 men, and the weapons and ammunition were even more scarce, including only three 60mm mortars left in artillery, and only more than 40 shells left. Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma sent a desperate telegram to Okamura Ninji: "The ammunition is exhausted, the food is gone, and the people are exhausted. Hungry, wounded, and helpless. The department is determined to lead the remnants of the army in its hands to fight the cunning Shina army in the final battle, long live the Imperial Army of Japan, long live His Majesty the Emperor."

After receiving Masaharu Honma's telegram, Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji strictly ordered all departments to reinforce Coffin Hill at any cost. And since the area of operation has now been transferred to Coffin Mountain, the paratroopers simply cannot determine the target at night, and the previously determined combat plan has also been nullified, so the paratrooper rescue plan was terminated. However, as the supreme commander of the front line and the direct commander of the 27th Division, Okamura Ninji would never allow the second integrated division to be eaten by the squadron under his nose, and the furious Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji ordered the more than 50,000 people under his command to storm the squadron in front of him at all costs, and it was necessary to save the last fire of the 27th Division. At the same time, the navy urgently launched an attack on Hukou, and the marines occupied Hukou County as quickly as possible, since the destruction of the 27th Division was a foregone conclusion, then he had to make the squadron pay the due price, and a division for a small Chinese county. Although it is not worth it, after all, there is still a little result, and he has to explain to the base camp, otherwise the destruction of two divisions in a row is enough to make him go to court-martial.

However, Okamura Ninji underestimated the importance that the squadron attached to him this time, and the Japanese navy was stubbornly blocked by the Chinese navy before it could sail into the waters of the lake. Although the Chinese Navy is still no match for the Japanese Navy on the sea, it is indeed not afraid of the Japanese Navy in the Yangtze River. The ships that Han Yunhua provided to the Chinese Navy are the main ships of the Third Fleet, and although there are no heavy warships of the Third Fleet, there are many light ships suitable for inland navigation.

In this battle, the Chinese Navy defeated the arrogance of the Japanese Navy with its invincible heroic momentum, sinking 3 light cruisers, 2 destroyers, 4 frigates, 12 torpedo boats, and 8 gunboats, while the Chinese Navy also paid a heavy price of 13 warships. Fortunately, these are all in China's inland waters, and after the Japanese warships were withdrawn, the Chinese Navy carried out emergency salvage and salvaged a total of 37 warships that were not too seriously damaged and had maintenance value, and achieved a great victory at the mouth of the Navy's lake.

At the same time, the army's battle to encircle and annihilate the 27th Division was also coming to an end, after a night of fierce fighting, the 27th Division only had less than 300 men left to shrink to a small hill, because it had reached the point of running out of ammunition and food, so all the Japanese troops came out of the trenches, lined up in a small square formation, holding bayonets and waiting for the attack of Xue Yue's department.

Xue Yue knew that Honma Masaharu wanted to fight with him for a bayonet, and Xue Yue understood the deeper meaning of Lieutenant General Honma Masaharu, if he wanted to capture him, the commander of the lieutenant general's division, then he had to fight with the remnants of the Japanese army with a bayonet, and he Honma Masaharu lost to Xue Yue in terms of strategy and tactics, so he wanted to win Xue Yue again in this project that the Japanese army was proud of, which could be regarded as saving himself the last bit of face.

Faced with such a choice, all the officers set their sights on Xue Yue. In fact, Xue Yue also knew that Chairman Chiang really wanted to capture a Japanese lieutenant general and division commander, not to mention that since the beginning of the war, many Chinese major generals, brigade commanders, and even lieutenant generals, division commanders, and army commanders surrendered to the Japanese army, and very few middle and senior Japanese officers surrendered to the squadron. This time, the first unit alone also completely annihilated a division of the Japanese army, severely damaged an elite division, and captured more than 300 people below the commander of the Japanese lieutenant general division, almost all of whom were officers. This kind of record made Chairman Jiang very envious, and at the same time, he also wanted to show the corresponding results to compare with the first, how could he not let the first-class troops be the first. ,

Let's not mention that there is only one brigade, although Xue Yue also knows that Han Yunhua's brigade is more than 10,000 people, even the brigade of Chairman Jiang, which is known as the first brigade in the world, is not as strong as this independent 77th brigade. However, they almost defeated more than half of the troops of the Eleventh Army with one brigade, the arrogant Hatada Detachment lost two complete infantry brigades in a row in the hands of others, the imperious and domineering Third Fleet was almost completely annihilated, and even the 106th Division that dared to go deep alone was completely annihilated by others with indomitable momentum, leaving only one infantry brigade to guard Duchang County, and the Ninth Division, which was well-known in the Japanese Army, was also lost in the hands of this independent 77th Brigade, and even the commanders of the two brigades in the department were killed and seriously wounded. It can be described as a loss of face.

And on their side, there are millions of troops as cover, and hundreds of thousands of troops charge to annihilate the 27th Division, if Lieutenant General Honma Masaharu is captured alive, then the two sides may not be comparable, if even Honma Masaharu is dead, then he will not be able to compare with Han Yunhua. Xue Yue didn't understand this truth, but he really couldn't do it if he asked him to exchange the lives of the soldiers for Chairman Jiang and his face, which was more unacceptable than drinking the blood of soldiers, and even less worthy of being a commander. He can't control what others do, let alone want to care, but he, Xue Yue, would not do such a thing.

"Open the cannon, fight quickly" Looking at Masaharu Honma from afar, Xue Yue's heart twitched. This was originally an extremely dazzling feat, but now it is suddenly lost in a cannon, hey, for the sake of this group of brothers who were born and died, it is better to use guns and cannons to solve the defeat of this group of remnants.

Perhaps it was because good people had good rewards, or because of their hard work, Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma, who had never been spared, miraculously survived such a fierce artillery bombardment, and was finally captured "intact" by Xue Yue's troops.

A series of blows by the squadron completely stunned the Japanese army, the Japanese base camp has never seen the squadron will burst out with such a sharp attack force, if the squadron can have such a strong force a year ago, it is estimated that the Japanese army will take advantage of the slope and donkey obediently withdraw when attacking Shanghai, and will never have the courage to launch a full-scale invasion of China.

On October 29, the battle of Wuhan ceased fire on all fronts, and the Japanese base camp, which knew that if it continued to fight, it would only damage its troops in vain, decisively issued an order to withdraw its troops, and the squadron, which was already a tired army, also stopped the attack, and the two sides stopped the exchange of fire under such wonderful cooperation.

The three towns of Wuhan hung the blue sky and white sun flag to celebrate the great victory of Wanjialing created by Han Yunhua's department on Nanxun Road, and also celebrated the great victory of Hukou created by the navy and army of the national government. For a time, congratulatory telegrams continued to be sent from all over the country, and the Wuhan Garrison Command received 33 congratulatory telegrams from various organs and units throughout the country in one morning, including congratulatory telegrams from China and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. What excited the Nationalist Government the most was that even the Soviet Union, which had just withdrawn its air force to aid China, and the heads of the US government, who did not have unified opinions at home, sent congratulatory telegrams at the first time to congratulate the squadron on its unprecedented victory, and the US president also revealed his intention to support China's War of Resistance Against Japan.

Chiang Kai-shek, who was in a good mood, immediately issued a nationwide telegram after reading the telegrams sent by the heads of state, commending the First Corps of the Wuhan Garrison Command and Han Yunhua's headquarters of the Inner Mongolia Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, and at the same time promoting Xue Yue, Zhang Yanchuan, Han Yunhua, Li Dayong, Wan Guoquan, Wang Yuanhua and others to the military ranks, and the awards of each unit are also very large. This time Chiang Kai-shek was truly generous, and his boldness surprised even high-ranking personnel such as He Yingqin, Soong Meiling and Chen Cheng.

This time, Han Yunhua's department was awarded the title of anti-Japanese model brigade, and the department was upgraded to a division of the second type, and the Nationalist Government specially allocated 50,000 oceans from the national disaster salary to Han Yunhua's department, and the whole brigade immediately rushed to Wuhan to change its uniform, and at the same time, Chiang Kai-shek, the supreme head of the Nationalist Government, personally awarded certificates and medals to Han Yunhua and other meritorious personnel.

After receiving the order, Han Yunhua immediately led his troops to Wuhan, accompanied by a large number of captured weapons and equipment, including more than 350 large trucks alone. Although Han Yunhua's troops lost nearly 6,000 people in this battle, they achieved unprecedented brilliant results. Chiang Kai-shek set up a good stage and let Han Yunhua sing a good show. On the one hand, the direct military pressure from the Japanese army on the part of the Nationalist Government has been greatly reduced, and the Chinese Navy, which is on the verge of disbandment, has directly restored its combat effectiveness and accepted dozens of ships of immeasurable value. On the other hand, the Nationalist Government has won a good international reputation, and the country's image has suddenly risen a lot, and these things cannot be bought with money, so Chairman Chiang, who has received so much, is no longer so careful, and he should not be too stingy when he should be bold.
