Not only the Japanese army and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army paid close attention to the movements of Han Yunhua's subordinates, but even Chairman Mao in Yan'an and the highest authorities in Chongqing also attached great importance to them.

On June 15, Yan'an called and implicitly suggested that the main force of Han Yunhua's department should withdraw to the northwest of Shanxi, and even if he wanted to fight, he should retain a little strength. But this proposal was clearly rejected by Han Yunhua, although Han Yunhua also knew that Yan'an's approach was very correct, and when the Japanese army's terrifying more than 90,000 troops were pressing the border, it was necessary to return it appropriately. After all, Han Yunhua still understands the truth that everyone loses their land.

But Han Yunhua couldn't do this, although Han Yunhua was an outstanding officer of the later republic, and his political quality was absolutely qualified. After so many years of cultivation by the party and the government, Han Yunhua's personal feelings for the Communist Party are extremely deep. However, this war is not a struggle between one party and one faction, but a national war on whether the 5,000-year-old civilization of the Chinese nation can continue.

There is another very important reason why Han Yunhua insisted on resisting Terauchi Shouichi, and this reason is only known to him, that is, the four-month-long battle of Wuhan between China and Japan. Historically, after the Kuomintang Chiang Kai-shek government blew up the Yellow River embankment at Huayuankou, it forced the Japanese army to suspend the plan to attack Wuhan along the Huai River and attack along both sides of the Yangtze River instead.

On June 4, the Japanese Central China Dispatch Army adjusted the battle sequence, and its commander Shunroku Hata commanded the 2nd and 11th armies, with a total of about 140 brigades and 250,000 troops, responsible for the operation against Wuhan. Okamura Ninji commanded the 5 and a half divisions of the 11th Army to attack Wuhan along both sides of the Yangtze River, and King Minoru Higashikunomiya commanded 4 and a half divisions of the 2nd Army to assist Wuhan along the northern foot of Dabie Mountain. As well as more than 120 ships of the Navy and Kawakoshiro's 3rd Fleet, more than 500 planes of the Tokugawa Yoshitoshi Air Regiment, Japan's first pilot to fly into the sky, and five divisions directly under the Central China Dispatch Army were assigned to guard Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, and other areas, so as to consolidate the rear and ensure the operation.

The Battle of Wuhan was the largest battle in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, in which the Nationalist army fought bravely and killed and wounded more than 40,000 Japanese soldiers, including nearly 700 officers at the rank of general and colonel. However, due to insufficient preparations, the three towns of Wuhan were eventually captured by the Japanese army. However, the Battle of Wuhan was still of great significance to the Chinese nation, and although the Japanese army finally occupied Wuhan after paying a heavy price, its strategic attempt to force the Nationalist government to submit and end the war was not achieved. According to the documents of the Japanese army found after the war, even the only remaining Guards Division in Japan was on call to reinforce the Wuhan battle at any time. The document of the War Department of the Japanese base camp also said: "The army poured all its strength into the Hankow operation, and there was no spare strength to deal with the situation."

During the entire Battle of Wuhan, the Nationalist Army failed to hold the Wuhan area, but it achieved the goal of destroying the living forces of the Japanese army as planned by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. In the first battle of Wanjialing, the Kuomintang general Xue Yue commanded the 74th Army of the National Revolutionary Army and other main forces almost the 106th Division of the Japanese Army. All the Japanese troops of the division except for more than 1,000 people who fled, the rest of the Japanese troops were all annihilated, and Wanjialing was full of Japanese corpses and discarded guns and ammunition, which was the only battle in which the entire division of the Japanese army was completely annihilated in the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

The Japanese army's attempt to "launch the Battle of Hankow and make it the greatest opportunity for a decisive battle in the war" failed again, and from then on it had to fall into the quagmire of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's "protracted war of resistance" in exchange for space and time, and could not extricate itself until defeat and surrender.

However, during his studies at the National University of Defense Technology, Han Yunhua had conducted a three-month special study on the Battle of Wuhan, and he believed that the main reason why the Kuomintang was still unable to keep Wuhan after making huge sacrifices was that the preparations were too hasty. In addition, several important military towns downstream of Wuhan were lost so quickly and suddenly that Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist government did not even have time to react, and the enemy had already reached the periphery of Wuhan. If the Kuomintang is given two or three months to prepare, it is believed that with the command skills of such powerful generals as Xue Yue and Wang Yaowu within the Kuomintang, the outcome of the Battle of Wuhan will be significantly changed. It is very likely that the iron hooves of the Japanese army will be contained on the outskirts of Wuhan, and the results achieved in the least possible way will be much greater than those up to now.

Historically, the Japanese army first attacked Wuhan in June 1938 (the 27th year of the Republic of China), and on June 12, 1938, the Japanese Botian detachment landed in Anqing and soon occupied Anqing, and the Battle of Wuhan officially began. On September 6, Guangji fell. On the 29th, the Japanese army captured Tianjia Town, a fortress on the Yangtze River. By the end of October, all the three towns of Wuhan had fallen into the hands of the enemy, and the Battle of Wuhan was over. The troops of the 5th and 9th Theaters of the Nationalist Government were centered in the Wuhan area of Hubei Province and resisted the Japanese attack in a vast area such as central Anhui-western Anhui, northern Jiangxi-northwest Jiangxi, eastern Hubei, and southern Henan. It was June 29, but the Japanese army had no intention of attacking Wuhan. And the historical Japanese army surprise soldier Botian detachment is still nesting in the Wuhu area, and there is no surprise attack on Anqing at all. And the Japanese North China Front has transferred most of the main force back to North China, so Han Yunhua concluded that the Japanese army has no preparations to attack Wuhan, that is to say, as long as Han Yunhua's division attracts the main force of the Japanese North China Front in the Chahar area for one day, then the battle of Wuhan will be fought one day later, and then Chiang Kai-shek will have one more day of preparation time. ,

Although only Han Yunhua knows about this matter, whether it is from the perspective of the consolidation or development of the base area, or from the impact of the incident itself, Han Yunhua has a reason to fight, so Han Yunhua can explain the past whether it is within the party or in the army.

However, with Han Yunhua's character of only taking advantage and not taking losses, how can he not carry the black pot for Chiang Kai-shek in vain, although there is national righteousness to carry there, but outside of the national righteousness, Han Yunhua still wants to pick something off Jiang Guangtou and Yan Laoxi, saying that he Chairman Jiang and Yan Xishan, Chief Yan are his Han Yunhua's "chiefs", and he, Han Yunhua, is here to work hard, and neither of them can hide behind and watch the excitement! What's more, the hundreds of thousands of victims who frantically poured into the Chahar region were all caused by the big moves made by Chairman Jiang, others don't know, can he, Han Yunhua, not know?

Therefore, when Han Yunhua received the first batch of victims, he sent a report to Yan Xishan's Second War Zone Governor's Department in clear code, asking Yan Xishan to give Han Yunhua's department material assistance to help the hundreds of thousands of victims stranded in the Chahar area. In the telegram to the highest authorities, Han Yunhua asked for money and goods, and also specifically mentioned the defense of the fortresses in Anqing and Tianjiazhen, hoping to attract the attention of the highest authorities. In the telegram to the highest authorities, Han Yunhua also vaguely mentioned some unknown "inside stories" about the Huayuankou incident, of course, only mentioning some scratches. At the same time, he also vaguely proposed that if the supreme authorities did not give him the materials that Han Yunhua wanted, then he could not guarantee that his troops would not escape from the battle like his troops under Chairman Chiang at a critical time.

Han Yunhua's telegrams were first sent to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and then forwarded by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to Yan Xishan and Chongqing. It's not that Han Yunhua can't report directly from Chahar to the Second War Zone or Chongqing, but Han Yunhua doesn't want to leave a stain in the eyes of any newcomers, he doesn't want to be "crazy" in the near future, and he doesn't think he is a good athlete.

After Han Yunhua's telegram was sent to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, it caused an uproar at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and all the leaders, including Commander-in-Chief Zhu, saw that this was a letter of extortion written by Han Yunhua, and the object of his extortion was General Yan Xishan, the supreme commander of the Second Theater, and the other was Chiang Kai-shek, the nominal supreme leader of the Republic of China.

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army held a three-hour discussion on Han Yunhua's two telegrams, and finally handed over the problem to Yan'an for resolution. Chairman Mao read and read the two telegrams from Han Yunhua forwarded by the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, and finally instructed the Eighth Route Army Headquarters to send them to Yan Xishan and Chairman Jiang, who was secretly having fun, according to Han Yunhua's wishes.

The mountain city of Chongqing, as Chairman Mao judged, was ecstatic after reading the telegram presented by Dai Li's Military Command Bureau! Hearing that the Japanese army had gathered nearly 100,000 people to prepare to attack the communist Han Yunhua department, Chiang Kai-shek's first reaction was disbelief, and his second reaction was to gloat. After repeatedly confirming the accuracy of the information, Chiang Kai-shek immediately instructed Dai Li to pay close attention to the fighting in northern Cyprus and report to him as soon as there was any movement.

After Han Yunhua's telegram was sent to Chongqing, it caused a much bigger wave than the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and after Dai Li read the telegram, he did not dare to slack off and immediately sent it to Chiang Kai-shek's residence.

Chiang Kai-shek met Dai Li in his study, and after reading Han Yunhua's telegram, Chiang Kai-shek was silent for a long time, only sitting on the side of Dai Li, who was nervous, but he did not dare to disturb Chiang Kai-shek, who was quiet in his own world.
