However, Vice Admiral Tokugawa Yoshitoshi still knew that the most urgent thing at the moment was how to solve the disappearance of the Third Fleet, and as for the hateful Han Yunhua and the strange Chinese army he led, Vice Admiral Tokugawa Yoshitoshi thought that there would be opportunities in the future, and there was no need to rush for a while. However, Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi could not have imagined that his departure would leave a great aftermath for the Hatada detachment of Madang Fortress.

Early this morning, the whole of Wuhan was boiling, and the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was once again good news. Last night, the 77th Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army attacked the Third Fleet of the Navy, the Third Brigade of the Hata Detachment of the Army, and achieved brilliant results, completely annihilating the Third Fleet (in fact, two torpedo boats and six troop carriers escaped) and destroying the Third Fleet, capturing 32 large and small warships, and killing more than 1,800 people (including marines) under Rear Admiral Okawa Ieyasu, commander of the Third Fleet. At the same time, he also annihilated 1,327 people under the captain of the third brigade of the Hatian detachment of the Japanese army, Jiro Kobayashi, and Nakasa, and achieved the first great victory in the Battle of Wuhan. Early in the morning, the news spread like the wind all over the streets and alleys of Greater Wuhan, and countless Wuhan citizens poured into the streets, whether it was the newspaper controlled by the national political axe or the Xinhua newspaper [***] were snapped up by the excited citizens.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Chiang Kai-shek, chairman of the National People's Political Axe Committee, personally delivered a radio speech, confirming the real surname of Hukou Dajie. At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek also announced to the citizens that the captured warships were now on their way to Wuhan City, and that they were expected to enter Wuhan tomorrow morning.

Then the citizens of Yucheng, Chengdu, Kunming, Changsha, Xi'an, Yan'an, Guisui, Baotou and other places flocked to the municipal axe gate to donate money and materials to do their part for the anti-Japanese war. It can be said that Han Yunhua ignited the enthusiasm and confidence of the entire China and the entire Chinese nation to resist the Japanese, which Han Yunhua did not expect before the war.

In fact, Han Yunhua is also very happy now, because in order to reward Han Yunhua's achievements in Wuhan, [***] discussed with the bigwigs of the Central Military Commission and decided to equip all the weapons and ammunition of the integrated 100th Division transferred by Chiang Kai-shek to [***] to the 129th Division, and the land number of the integrated 100th Division was given to the Inner Mongolia Military Region, with Han Yunhua as the division commander and chairman of the Suicha Border Region. Therefore, the Central Military Commission decided to transfer some troops to form the 100th Division, while other units of the Inner Mongolia Military Region formed border instructors. In the original words of [***], we must build the official name given by the national political axe, and we cannot abandon what he did not give, we want the 100th Division, we also want the 77th Brigade of Reading Force, and your Inner Mongolia Military Region must also be reorganized into a division.

Although Han Yunhua has reorganized the troops three times in more than a year, only this time was ordered by the superior leader to reorganize Han Yunhua. In this way, the Inner Mongolia Military Region has a reorganized division, a teaching instructor, a reading brigade, and many directly subordinate units. At the same time, the leaders of the Central Military Commission also ordered Han Yunhua's subordinates to transfer three brigades out and assign them to the three veteran divisions of 120, 15, and 129 respectively.

Due to the involvement of Han Yunhua's department, the development of these three divisions is very slow, every time they just recover their vitality, Han Yunhua recruited the little devil again, after the big battle together, Han Yunhua's department ate the meat, but Liu Bocheng, He Long and others only carried the black pot, and the benefits were not less. Han Yunhua's troops still had about 80,000 men left after the Battle of Saibei, while the 129th and 115th Divisions were now less than 25,000 people, and the troops suffered heavy losses.

Han Yunhua never thought that the Inner Mongolia Military Region was his personal armament, although he said that the Inner Mongolia Military Region was built by him, but Han Yunhua still firmly believed that it was the army of the people, and this belief was deeply rooted in Han Yunhua's mind.

Since the higher-level leader instructed him, Han Yunhua absolutely did not say anything, and immediately called back to the central authorities, saying that he completely obeyed the instructions of the central authorities. At the same time, in order to restore the combat effectiveness of the 120th, 115th, and 129th divisions as soon as possible, Han Yunhua suggested to the higher-level leaders that Shen Yuquan, political commissar of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, exercise the right of division commander and chairman on his behalf and transfer the three brigades to those three divisions as soon as possible.

[***] and others were very satisfied with Han Yunhua's callback, but in order to respect Han Yunhua, [***] and others called to ask Han Yunhua himself, hoping that Han Yunhua would determine that unit would draw the battle sequence of the existing units of the Inner Mongolia Military Region. After all, if Han Yunhua's heart was rashly swept away, although Han Yunhua would not say anything on his lips, he would definitely feel uncomfortable in his heart. Han Yunhua pondered for a while, then immediately sent a telegram back to the Central Military Commission: "Except for the three integrated brigades of the former Inner Mongolia Military Region, the cavalry brigade, the artillery brigade, the mechanized brigade, and the saber special operations brigade, the other eight brigades can be allocated at will, and all the weapons and ammunition equipped by the Inner Mongolia Military Region of these eight brigades will be taken away by this department, and there is no need to return them to the Inner Mongolia Military Region." ”

After reading Han Yunhua's callback, [***] and the others looked at each other and smiled, and decided to follow Han Yunhua's suggestion.

Besides, when Han Yunhua himself received the telegram from the Central Military Commission, he had already arrived at Furong City in Pengze, which was less than 30 kilometers away from the county seat of Pengze. Due to the sudden destruction of the third brigade, the Hatada detachment did not dare to attack at will and began to consciously shrink the defensive line. To the west of Pengze, except for Xiaogushan, which broke into the Yangtze River, there were no garrisons anywhere else, so Han Yunhua's headquarters was not blocked along the way.

Moreover, Han Yunhua originally planned to sneak attack the Yue army, and he advanced in the costume of the Yue army all the way, and the scout had already been put twenty kilometers away. However, Han Yunhua didn't know that an infantry army of about 8,000 people was rushing from Wangjiang to Madang Fortress, and his military operation this time was destined to be a bloody battle.

The soldiers are fast, Han Yunhua knows that the army will not leave him too much time, Peng Ze is a new army in this county, it has not yet been consolidated, and there is still a possibility of seizing. Although the 60th Division, the 53rd Division, and the 43rd Army of the 16th Army are still fighting to the death outside Madang, but the terrain of the Madang Fortress is really not conducive to attacking, and the 60th Division of the 16th Army has launched counter-charges many times under the cover of the Air Force, and once forced the infantry of the Yue Army to retreat to the Yangtze River, and recovered Xiangshan, Xiangkou and other places. However, the army reinforcements continued to increase, and the enemy reinforcements landed one after another under the cover of huge artillery, and counterattacked in a big way, and Xiangshan and Xiangkou fell again. Now the 16th Army is at the end of the crossbow, and Chiang Kai-shek's order to Li Yunheng, the commander of the 16th Army, is: "If the horse is gained, you will live, and if the horse is lost, you will die!" ”

Han Yunhua had to occupy Pengze before the army completely defeated the 16th Army, and build a counterattack defense line in Pengze County. However, the attack last night and night had already exhausted the soldiers under Han Yunhua's department, and in addition, the soldiers had been marching for another day today, and the soldiers had a lot of physical exertion, and their combat effectiveness was not enough of the original five layers, so it was really not a good time to launch an attack.

In desperation, Han Yunhua had no choice but to order the troops to go into the mountains to rest. Han Yunhua knew that there might still be a Chinese [***] team resisting stubbornly on the land of China, and there was still a place for Chinese on land. But China's sea and air are no longer part of the Chinese. Whether it is the four major territorial waters or the affiliated airspace, it has become his own world. Therefore, Han Yunhua once issued a mandatory surname order, as long as conditions permit, all troops of the Inner Mongolia Military Region should enter the mountains when resting, and try to avoid resting in the plains.

Although some of the soldiers didn't understand it, Han Yunhua didn't explain too much, this kind of thing must be a habit, and too many explanations will make people feel that the troops of the Inner Mongolia Military Region are too timid. The surname Suo didn't say anything, the troops could carry it out, and now it has become a habit to stay in the mountains and forests at night, as long as there is a mountain nearby, the troops will take the initiative to enter the mountains when they are resting, and there is no need for the commander to give an order.

There was nothing to do all night, and the next morning Han Yunhua scattered all the Cheetah Special Operations Squadron, and he wanted to know all the information about Peng Ze. In later generations, Han Yunhua once traveled to Pengze, and also went to the site of the Xiaogushan War. But this does not mean that Han Yunhua knows everything about Peng Ze, even so, time has passed, although more than 60 years have not been able to go through the vicissitudes of life, but things are not people, but there will always be things.

In the afternoon, Wei Peng took a written document to the tent where Han Yunhua lived to report on his work, which was the information they had collected in the past day about the current Pengze County. After reading the information, Han Yunhua strengthened his belief in Peng Ze to be won.

After investigation, Han Yunhua learned that Peng Ze now has a brigade of the Yue Army stationed there, and at the same time there is also a regiment of puppet troops. However, according to the report of the reconnaissance special combat personnel, this puppet army infantry regiment has less than 300 people, and it is barely called an infantry battalion, and its actual combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of a small squad of the army. It's just that the army gave this pseudo-regiment commander more face, and forcibly upgraded an infantry company to an infantry regiment. But this kind of upgrade can only be done by the army when facing the puppet army, and only the empty number is given, and other things like weapons and ammunition are not given.

Han Yunhua now has two complete infantry regiments, a fire support regiment, and an artillery battalion, with a total strength of more than 8,300 people. Because of the requirements of this battle, it was very hidden, and it was absolutely impossible to startle the snake, so Han Yunhua left Han Yunqian and her guard battalion all in the mountains on the outskirts of the lake, and the only more than 30 tanks in the guard battalion also allowed Han Yunhua to hide in the mountains.

Han Yunhua is a man who is loyal to the country and the nation and them, and he does not want to see the Battle of Wuhan as entangled as it has been in history. Although there was also a great victory in Wanjialing during the Battle of Wuhan in history, but in the end, Wuhan was still lost, and the crisis in China was further deepened. Moreover, he Han Yunhua did not come alone, and more than 17,000 brothers who were born and died with him came to Wuhan with him.
