Just as Han Yunhua's troops were in full swing preparing for another large-scale battle in the northern Saibei area, suddenly the Party Central Committee sent an urgent telegram from Yan'an to all units of the Eighth Route Army - Wuhan had fallen.

During this time, because Han Yunhua was busy with exhibitions in Shandong, and the electronic reconnaissance unit of the Japanese army in Shandong was also quite powerful, the high-power radio station under Han Yunhua's department was generally in a silent state for a while, and it would only be turned on at a specific time, so Han Yunhua had a lot less contact with the outside world during this time.

However, Han Yunhua was also very clear about the news that the Nationalist Government had fought the Japanese army again on the outskirts of Wuhan, after all, the reason why the instructor was able to achieve such results in such a short period of time during this period of time was also to account for the light of the second Wuhan battle. Although the flames of the Battle of Wuhan did not spread to Shandong, a large part of the supplies of the Japanese puppet army in Anhui and Henan were transported to the front line from all over Shandong. In order not to cause any trouble, the Japanese North China Front ordered all units stationed in China to strictly prohibit fighting with the squadron until the end of the Second Battle of Wuhan, and in particular, it was best not to have a large-scale confrontation with Han Yunhua's troops.

According to the battle report from the Party Central Committee, this battle was a large-scale battle in which the Japanese army moved in order to force the Nationalist Government to surrender as soon as possible, and at the same time, to achieve shame. Due to the reason of the First Battle of Wuhan, the Nationalist Government also called this Battle of Wuhan the Second Battle of Wuhan or the Second Battle of Wuhan, and of course the Japanese side called it the Second Battle of Wuhan or the Great Victory of Wuhan. The scale of the Second Battle of Wuhan was far greater than that of the First Battle of Wuhan, with 1.5 million regular troops, miscellaneous troops, and local security regiments of the National Revolutionary Army defending Wuhan under the leadership of Chiang Kai-shek, and the Japanese army dispatched an unprecedented 460,000 troops in this battle, commanded by Shunroku Hatata, commander of the Central China Front. The scope of this battle has also been expanded, this battle is not only limited to Wuhan and some surrounding counties and cities, but extended to Henan, Anhui, Jiangxi and other provinces and cities, if we add the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi and Hebei and the Inner Mongolia Military Region in the Saibei area, this battle can be said to be a decisive battle of life and death throughout most of China, in a period of three and a half months, the Japanese army dispatched a total of 430,000 elite 6 Army, 20,000 elite navy, and less than 10,000 air force. All arms of the armed forces, including the Navy Special Operations Team and the Special Forces of the 6th Army, were dispatched, and even the Japanese paratroopers, who had always been mysterious, shone this time and made great achievements in the capture of Wuhan.

However, all this is nonsense in Han Yunhua's opinion, and after reading the whole article, Han Yunhua's sad history seems to have returned to the original point, and Wuhan has finally fallen. Although due to the efforts of him and his troops, the number of battles of Wuhan has become two, and the fall of Wuhan has been delayed by nearly ten months, but what is the point of all this? Wuhan still did not escape the doom of the occupation, and the Chinese government was once again forced to relocate to Chongqing. That is to say, from 1937 when his soul was passed on to this era, more than two years of life and death tests, how many times he watched the soldiers he brought out fall in front of him, and how many times he sent batches of mighty soldiers to the front line, but the result was like this, Han Yunhua couldn't figure it out, let alone dare to think about it.

After all, history has not changed, but the original time has been pushed back by about a year, that is to say, if there are no major changes, China's War of Resistance against Japan will be about a year longer than in history, and the efforts of more than two years will not be exchanged for the happiness and well-being of the Chinese people, but will be longer suffering and disaster. Whether he is changing the fate of the Chinese or pushing China into an unpredictable future, Han Yunhua himself dare not think.

However, what Han Yunhua himself did not know was that the Battle of Wuhan caused Wuhan to fall late for about a year due to his appearance, but because of the great cohesion and strong combat effectiveness displayed by the Inner Mongolia Military Region during the First Battle of Wuhan, the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the Chinese people was greatly boosted. The most important thing is that the Nationalist Government also saw some deficiencies in the army, and even learned a lot of practical tactics from Han Yunhua's department, which improved the morale and combat effectiveness of the army to a certain extent.

At the time of the Second Battle of Wuhan, although the squadron was still under the command of those third-rate generals and unpopular commanders, it caused huge losses to the Japanese army. Due to the strong resistance of the squadron, Japan used the largest force that could be assembled at that time, and the establishment of personnel directly used for the attack reached 460,000, and the personnel were replenished 14 times during the battle, and the total strength of the Japanese army at the end of the battle should be about 70,000 people. At the same time, the Japanese army also waved its absolute superiority in sea and air equipment, and fought hard for three and a half months. ,

In these three and a half months of fighting, although the Japanese army barely captured Wuhan, but did not annihilate the main force of the squadron, like the most elite units of the Chinese National Defense Force, although they suffered heavy losses, but their vitality was not seriously damaged, so that instead of reducing the squadron's will to resist the war and combat effectiveness, on the contrary, the Japanese army's vital force was severely hit, and at the same time, it also greatly encouraged the people of insight in the army, and the atmosphere of revenge and hatred took root in the hearts of every Chinese soldier.

Most importantly, the tactics adopted by the Second Wuhan Meeting, the Warring States Civil Administration, and the annihilation of the enemy's living forces caused great trauma to the Japanese army. According to the statistics of the Japanese army, in such a short three-and-a-half-month battle, the 1st Army of the Japanese Central China Front suffered 186oo casualties, together with the casualties of the navy and the 6th sea aviation, a total of about 78,500. Of course, this is only a figure unilaterally released by the Japanese army, and it does not prove the specific actual number of Japanese losses in that war. However, it can be reflected from the side that the Japanese army's losses in this battle were large, and the number of Japanese casualties counted by the Military Command Department of the National Civil Affairs and Military Commission according to the detailed reports of the battles of each unit was 296,000, of which the absolute loss (battle death) was 64,400. Obviously, the Japanese watch has a low figure, while the Military Command Department has a high figure.

However, in any case, just like the Battle of Wuhan in history, the vast number of Chinese officers and soldiers were generally brave and tenacious, and while they suffered heavy losses, they also killed and wounded a large number of Japanese soldiers and dealt a major blow to the morale of the Japanese army. However, due to the improper operational guidance of the top decision-makers and some high-ranking generals, they consumed too much of themselves while consuming the enemy. The defective strategic and tactical layout was the main reason for the failure of the Second Battle of Wuhan, and during the First Battle of Wuhan, Han Yunhua's troops fell out and defeated the Japanese Eleventh Army in a very short period of time. The rapid defeat of the 11th Army directly caused some of the supporting plans prepared by the Japanese base camp to lose their significance and were temporarily shelved, but they were successfully implemented during the Second Battle of Wuhan and caused huge losses to the Kuomintang headquarters. In particular, the fall of Guangzhou was even worse, after the fall of Qingdao, Shanghai and other places, Guangzhou became the most important port in China, but compared with its important xìng, the defense seemed very lax, the Guangdong army was transferred half of the army to participate in the Battle of Wuhan, Chiang Kai-shek thought that the Japanese army had done its best to the Battle of Wuhan, and it was impossible to send troops to attack in other directions, originally, the Japanese army was due to insufficient troops, He also planned to transfer troops to attack Guangzhou after the Battle of Wuhan, but he knew that the stubborn resistance in the Battle of Wuhan made the progress of the battle slow, and the Japanese base camp couldn't wait, so he quickly transferred three divisions to form the 2nd 5th Fleet Commander Koichi Shiozawa with the support of Koichi Shiozawa, and attacked Guangzhou. Guangdong heard a little rumor, and Guangdong Governor Wu Tiecheng also made a report to Chongqing, but Chiang Kai-shek actually thought that this was a "fake" intelligence deliberately created by the Japanese, and tried to get the troops from the Wuhan battlefield to support Guangdong. If you don't increase the number of troops, forget it, and then, Lao Jiang even asked Yu Hanmou to transfer another division to the Wuhan battlefield.

At ten o'clock in the evening of June 25, 1939, more than 70,000 Japanese troops and 27,000 horses successfully boarded Daya Bay in Guangzhou. Yu Hanmou's 12th Army was defeated by the Japanese army in just 1o days. In desperation, Yu Hanmou ordered the defenders of Guangzhou to retreat, and Guangzhou fell on the afternoon of the 29th. Faced with this situation, Chiang Kai-shek learned the lessons of last year's defense of Nanjing, did not want to be a lonely city, and decided to abandon Wuhan quickly. On July 2, the Japanese army occupied Hankou, the next day occupied Wuchang, and on the 3rd occupied Hanyang, and the defense of Wuhan came to an end.

After the Second Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese army, which already felt that its strength was insufficient, was killed and wounded by the squadron after a large number of living forces were killed and wounded by the squadron, and with the extension of the battle line, the Japanese army felt that its strength was insufficient, and it was unable to organize such a large-scale strategic offensive as the battles of Songhu, Xuzhou, and Wuhan, and was forced to turn to strategic conservatism. In this way, although China has now strategically lost the central city of Wuhan, in fact China is tantamount to adding another major burden to the already stretched defense system of the Japanese army. As long as the squadron recovers, it will not be as difficult as it was in history to regain Wuhan. Moreover, there are still hundreds of thousands of squadrons on the periphery of Wuhan, which has caused a huge pressure on the Japanese army, and a large number of troops have not come out, and they have supported the battles in the major battlefields across the country head-on, so that the anti-Japanese situation is not as bad as Han Yunhua imagined.
