However, nothing is absolute. Han Yunhua's bayonet fighting technique is also very strong, which has been verified in many battles in Saibei. As long as it is not at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, then Han Yunhua's troops and the Japanese army have never been defeated in fighting bayonets. And there are only less than 200 devils guarding the west gate of Pengze County, and the rest have returned to the underworld under the blow of Han Yunhua's department, but the soldiers of Han Yunhua's department poured up like a flood, and soon these 200 little devils were eliminated.

However, compared to Major General Shigeichi Hata, the death of the devils of these two squadrons is still very valuable. Because it was during this time that Major General Shigeichi Habata decisively chose to retreat. Major General Shigeichi Hakata abandoned the city and fled, and Major General Shigeichi Hata's original ambition quickly collapsed under the first round of blows by Wei Peng and others, first of all, a large number of middle- and lower-ranking officers were sniped, which dealt a devastating blow to the command system of the Hatada detachment. Secondly, the defenders of the two squadrons at the west gate of Pengze County were annihilated in less than twenty minutes, so Major General Shigeichi Habata dared to judge that this branch of the army came prepared from time to time, and the purpose was to take Pengze County.

Based on this judgment, Major General Shigeichi Harata originally planned to take advantage of the relatively strong fortifications in Pengze County to stubbornly resist and wait for reinforcements. However, after the continuous attacks of Han Yunhua's department, Major General Shigeichi Hakuda was afraid, he was not sure how many troops there were in the squadron, and he was not sure whether the defenders in the city of less than 1,600 people could hold out until the arrival of reinforcements under the attack of the squadron, after all, the 500-strong Ximen garrison only lasted for 20 minutes, so how many 200 people could hold on to 1,600 people? So Major General Shigeichi Harata wisely retired.

Major General Shigeichi Harata retreated very simply, without the slightest drag. Before leaving, Major General Shigeichi Harata also ordered the devil soldiers to set a fire in the city and destroy all the food and ammunition that could not be taken away. Fortunately, the Cheetah special combat team reacted quickly and rescued the food in the next warehouse, but the large amount of ammunition hoarded in Pengze County was all destroyed, and hundreds of houses were overturned by the rolling air waves.

In Han Yunhua's view, all the Japanese soldiers were outlaws, especially the Japanese officers, and they were all ignorant products of a group of ignorant products under the propaganda of Japanese militarist bushido. After fighting the Japanese army for more than a year, Han Yunhua really never saw a few Japanese officers flee without a fight. Not to mention a high-ranking general like Major General Shigeichi Hatada, after all, it would be contrary to the great spirit of bushido for everyone from the emperor down to ordinary Japanese soldiers to give way and flee.

However, from the perspective of a tactician, Rear Admiral Hatada's decision is still very wise, and under the calculation or unintentional intention of Han Yunhua's subordinates, it is very likely that this unit of the Harata detachment will become another formed unit above the Japanese brigade that has been completely annihilated after the Third Fleet and the Third Brigade.

Due to the caution of Major General Hakata Shigeichi, although Han Yunhua's unit captured Pengze County, it failed to completely annihilate the brigade of the Hatada detachment defending the city, and this military operation failed to achieve the expected results.

After capturing Pengze, Han Yunhua did not continue to advance, but ordered the troops to fortify on the spot, strengthen the fortifications of Pengze County, and wait for the Kuomintang troops and other troops under Han Yunhua to follow up. Han Yunhua, who is familiar with history, knows that there are now nearly 300,000 elite Japanese troops stationed on the outskirts of Wuhan, and although the Botian detachment has suffered serious damage in these major battles, it cannot be said that the Japanese army's offensive has been stagnant. You must know that the real elite of the Japanese army has not yet reached the forefront of the battlefield, and the Hatian detachment can only be regarded as a second-rate unit, compared to the fifth division, the sixth division, the sixteenth division, and the one hundred and sixth division, the Hatian detachment is also a fart, and the roots cannot be compared with these old elites. Because of this, Han Yunhua was very cautious at the beginning of the Battle of Wuhan, and he didn't dare to do things that went deep alone, and every wrong step was wrong.

Nanking. Headquarters of the Central China Front of the Japanese Army.

The commander of the Central China Front of the Japanese Army, General Toshiro Hata, was very angry now, looked around at the generals for a week, and asked angrily: "Baga, Han Yunhua is very cunning, this time we have lost two squadrons of elite soldiers and a county town and still can't yin* This cunning branch of the fox is really annoying." ”

The commander of the Eleventh Army, Okamura Ningji, also said a little depressedly: "Yes, this Han Yunhua is cunning and big, I once fought with this Zhina man when I was in eastern Hebei, and the combat effectiveness of his troops is average, at least not as good as the Second Division." However, the strategic vision of this officer is very old-fashioned, and he can often find our flaws as soon as he makes a move, and he will catch our army by surprise. Otherwise, they will occupy favorable terrain to block our army and kill and injure the living forces of our army. Moreover, the army of the Korean Department was very good at long-distance raids, and the North China Front was defeated by these tactics of Han Yunhua. ”,

"Yo Xi, there is no void under the fame, this Han Yunhua is indeed not simple, bold and cautious, but he has the demeanor of a general, and his age is less than thirty years old, and his future is immeasurable. But it is not good news for my Great Japanese Empire, this man is no less dangerous to our Empire than five divisions, and we must find a way to get rid of him. Shunroku Hata said fiercely.

Okamura Ninji looked at the hideous face of Shunroku Hata, and said in a voice: "That's true, I still remember the big battle a few months ago, whether it is the major general or the general of the empire, none of them take advantage of Han Yunhua, this person is like the nemesis of my Japanese Empire, whoever touches who is injured, who knocks and who dies, is an extremely difficult character." ”

……

……

On the same day that Han Yunhua's troops regained Pengze County, the Nationalist Government held a final trial in Wuhan against a large number of generals who were unfavorable to the battle, Li Yunheng, commander of the defense force of Madang Fortress and commander of the 16th Army, was removed from his post and investigated, and Xue Weiying, commander of the 167th Division of the 16th Army, was executed, and the number of the division was revoked.

In fact, Chiang Kai-shek could not do anything about it. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek often remembered the meaningful words that Jiang Baili said on Lushan, and the inner meaning couldn't help but shudder whenever Chiang Kai-shek thought of it: "In the war against Japan, no matter what the point of fighting, it doesn't matter if you lose everything, in the end, the hole card is not to compromise with Japan, and only a long-term war of resistance can defeat Japan." In a word, win or lose, just don't make peace with him (Japan)"

"If the poor relatives themselves are not angry, they will always be looked down upon. The interaction between people is snobbery, and the interaction between countries is not the same? ”

"It is better to ask for others than to seek yourself, Chiang Kai-shek, who has no way out, chose to resist resolutely, this is the only way out in front of him, if he does not resist, everyone else has a way out, but he has no way out, waiting for himself, the only way out is to be a prisoner."

As soon as he thought of the fate of the two unlucky emperors in the late Northern Song Dynasty, Song Qinzong and Song Huizong, Chiang Kai-shek became terrified. Chiang Kai-shek had thought countless times that he was the leader of a great power, the supreme commander of millions of troops, and a supreme special figure, how could he be a prisoner

Based on this kind of thinking, Chiang Kai-shek is hard-hearted, that is, he has fought his old book, and he must unswervingly fight hard, either the fish dies, or the net is broken, and Chiang Kai-shek himself has some understanding of the character of the Japanese, in Chiang Kai-shek's cognition, the Japanese are a mother with milk, I will learn if you are strong, and I will fight if you are weak. Among the Japanese, faith and honesty are just some words on the lips, and they have no binding force in the slightest.

The beautiful battles fought by Han Yunhua's subordinates at Hukou made Chiang Kai-shek's face grow, and Chiang Kai-shek's face swept away the gloom of many days, and his frowning brows gradually relaxed. However, the strength shown by Han Yunhua's department also made Chiang Kai-shek very worried, and ** was a thorn in Chiang Kai-shek's heart from beginning to end. But now at this critical juncture, Han Yunhua's department is the main force of the Hukou Fortress, and before Xue Yue's first corps arrives at Hukou, the responsibility borne by Han Yunhua's department is extremely heavy.

Chiang Kai-shek himself was very optimistic about Xue Yue, a "tiger cub", although Han Yunhua's troops achieved a great victory at Hukou and annihilated a Japanese detachment. However, Chiang Kai-shek did not think that Han Yunhua's troops still had the capital to fight the main force of the Japanese army. At the same time that the Hukou victory was reported to Wuhan, Han Yunhua also sent a list of the losses of his headquarters to Chiang Kai-shek's desk, and the casualties of more than 4,000 people and the loss of a large number of ammunition all indicated the decline in the combat effectiveness of Han Yunhua's headquarters.

However, Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Cheng did not believe in the authenticity of the list reported to Wuhan by Han Yunhua, and in Chiang Kai-shek's view, it was gratifying to use the army to eliminate the elite of the navy, but the losses of Han Yunhua's troops were definitely not small, and the damage of more than 4,000 people was definitely not the real casualties of Han Yunhua's troops. Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Cheng agreed that the casualties of Han Yunhua's troops in the Battle of Hukou should be more than 8,000 people, which is reasonable, and the data of 4,000 casualties is just a colorful addition to Han Yunhua's **.

However, the Kuomintang's idea of treating others by itself was a big mistake, and although Han Yunhua's troops also suffered casualties in the Battle of Hukou, the casualties were not very heavy. Because in addition to the battle to annihilate the third brigade, which required the army, the battles on the surface were all solved by the Cheetah special combat team, so the casualties can be said to be minimal.

After the war, Han Yunhua conducted a comprehensive count and found that the elite of the Inner Mongolia Military Region in the Hukou Battle lost a total of 1,108 people, including 808 lightly and seriously wounded, and the actual absolute loss was only 300. The reason why Han Yunhua wanted to report the loss of 4,000 people was, on the one hand, to reduce Chiang Kai-shek's concern for the troops of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and at the same time, he also hoped that the Nationalist Government would allocate an additional batch of weapons and ammunition to the soldiers under his command.
