Chapter 159: The Battle of Wuhan: Hukou Offensive and Defensive Battle (10)

In fact, Han Yunhua's doing so was also carefully considered. After all, this is not a matter of a dozen guns and a few cannons, this is almost all the main warships of a detachment of the army. And the time is relatively tight. After dawn, the planes of the Chinese army will definitely come, and by that time the warships without naval soldiers will definitely become the targets of the Japanese bombers. Therefore, before the battle on land was over, Han Yunhua sent a telegram to the Party Central Committee, asking how to deal with the captured warships.

[***] himself is also difficult to decide, and in good conscience he does not want Han Yunhua to hand over these warships to Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek's personality [***] knows better than anyone else, he does not think that Chiang Kai-shek will live in peace with [***] people for a long time. But now, when the righteous country is in danger, these warships will definitely add a great water force to this suffering nation.

However, what makes [***] entangled is that due to the difficult conditions, the [***] people have not had their own water troops until now, and even Han Yunhua, who has a relatively complete range of arms, does not have a sailor unit. Even if Han Yunhua didn't want to leave this fleet by himself, it was impossible, and in the end, out of consideration for the future and destiny of the country and the nation, [***] decided to leave this matter to Han Yunhua himself.

Without the authorization of the Party Central Committee, Han Yunhua himself would not dare to deal with this batch of warships casually, you must know that it will soon be a famous rectification movement, Han Yunhua has long known that he is not a good athlete, if he wants to live well in the future, then he can't leave any stain now. Moreover, when getting along with the Kuomintang, no matter how big or small, you must be instructed by the higher-level leaders, otherwise you will not be able to tell if you have a mouth after you will be investigated in the future.

After Chen Cheng received the telegram from Han Yunhua, his first feeling was that he did not believe that a detachment that was said to be full of troops had been captured by the army, which had never had any ships, and this was simply a fantasy. But Chen Cheng also knew that a high-ranking general like Han Yunhua would not make such a joke, especially at this critical juncture.

Chen Cheng immediately called back to inquire about the specific situation, and repeatedly asked Han Yunhua to guarantee the real surname of the military situation. In the end, it was Han Yunhua who used the honor of a soldier to assure this Commander Chen that Chen Chengcai finally believed that Han Yunhua's troops had truly annihilated the Third Fleet of the Yue Army. And the third brigade of the Potian detachment was directly ignored by Chen Cheng subconsciously, in the face of such a major victory, the third brigade this small fish can only be regarded as the icing on the cake, can not be regarded as a meal, here we mourn for the third brigade of the army, these guys can not attract the attention of the Chinese, it is really not worth dying.

If it were in peacetime, the annihilation of an infantry brigade of the Yue Army would also be a great victory, whether it was the national political axe or the special political axe of the border area of [***], it would be hyped up, but now under the dazzling halo of the Third Fleet, the Third Brigade was directly ignored, and even Han Yunhua himself subconsciously forgot about it, until he saw Wan Guoquan walking into the temporary headquarters with a broken military flag, Han Yunhua remembered that there was still a stupid infantry of the Yue Army that had not been solved.

Han Yunhua's conditions are simply not a problem for the national political axe, there is no need to discuss it at all, compared with a large fleet, the equipment and a bullet production line required by a reorganized division can be calculated by a fool who is higher or lower. Therefore, Chen Cheng sent people to urgently use the air force to airlift an infantry regiment that had been changed from the navy that was resting in Wuhan to Hukou, and on the other hand, he sent people to open up all the shipping lanes along the route from Hukou to Wuhan, and to block them immediately after the fleet passed. At the same time, Chen Cheng did not forget to personally go to Chiang Kai-shek's mansion to report Chairman Chiang's victory.

Like Chen Cheng's performance, Jiang Mou, who has always been calm, sat up in shock when he heard the news, and then said happily: "Okay, good, worthy of being a good man in my country." The army completely annihilated a naval detachment, such an astonishing thing as Han Yunhua was only capable of it, wasn't it just the equipment of a division? Give him, send another car to Mao in Yan'an, and equip the South Korean department with a heavy machine gun battalion, which can allow the ministry to recruit some soldiers in the Hukou area as a supplement to the unit. In addition, the whole army of the Korean Ministry was awarded a collective first-class meritorious service, and Han himself was awarded the first-class "Blue Sky and White Medal", and I personally awarded him the medal when he went to Wuhan after the war. You told Mao, Zhu, Zhou and others that Han not only played the prestige of the Chinese people, but also saved the overall situation of Wuhan. As long as our [***] team actively resists, we will definitely recover Madang and Jiangyin fortresses. It can be said that the Korean Ministry saved the entire nation in this battle, and it is a great contribution to the entire nation, and I, Jiang someone, am awarding the medal to the Ministry on behalf of the people of the whole country this time, and I hope that Zhu Mao and others will allow him to accept the medal of the political axe. As long as Han Yunhua's department accepts the state's medal, the political axe can consider giving [***] another Category A brigade establishment. ”

Chiang Kai-shek's generosity far exceeded Chen Cheng's expectations, you must know that when the Xi'an Incident in 36 years, when Chiang Kai-shek's own life was seriously threatened, Chiang Kai-shek was only willing to give [***] the establishment of three B divisions, and the rest were not willing to give a regiment. This is good, all of a sudden, there is an additional reorganization division and a type A brigade. Chen Cheng knows the weight of a reorganized division, and it can be said that a reorganized division of the three-three system can almost be equal to three B divisions, and a A brigade is no less than a B division. This is not counting the establishment and number of Han Yunhua's department, which must be upgraded this time, [***] This time it is going to raise his eyebrows.

However, thinking about Han Yunhua's achievements this time and the impact he could have, Chen Cheng's idea of opposing just now was dispelled in an instant. Perhaps Han Yunhua himself did not know what this battle meant, but Chen Cheng, a senior Kuomintang official and top general, knew the three flavors well.

Han Yunhua only knew that capturing this enemy fleet could deal a serious blow to the surface forces of the army and strengthen himself. At the same time, it can also deal a heavy blow to the morale of the army and force the army to stop the intensity of the offensive. But Chen Cheng knew that the impact of this war was far greater than Han Yunhua imagined, and this impact was not only limited to the military level, but also involved many aspects such as politics and economy. First of all, the influence of the military level, the reason why the army was able to occupy Jiangyin Fortress, Anqing, Madang Fortress, Pengze and other places in such a short period of time, and infinitely approached the periphery of Wuhan was completely dependent on its joint advance of land, sea and air, and the three-dimensional tactics made the troops of the national political axe almost powerless to fight back. Once the navy suffers heavy losses, not only will the surface forces of the army suffer serious losses, but the army will also be seriously affected. The thing that made the Kuomintang the most happy was that due to the strength of the navy, the Kuomintang had to send a large number of troops to guard against the naval forces of the Japanese army, and this time the Third Fleet of the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, except for the few heavy warships and battleships anchored in Shanghai Harbor unharmed, its entire fleet was almost completely wiped out. Due to the limitations of the navy, it is impossible for the Chinese navy to retrain a new fleet without a year and a half, and with the addition of these 30 or so warships, it can be said that the Chinese navy will have absolute superiority in a short period of time on the Yangtze River alone, the offensive and defensive situation between China and China will undergo fundamental changes, and the national government will also be able to free up a large number of troops for the offensive.

Second, the battle almost completely annihilated the Third Fleet of the Chinese Army, and the international impact of this was so significant, since the beginning of the war, although China has been defeated and retreated by the Chinese army, even its own capital Nanjing has been lost. Although countries in the world are sympathetic to China's plight, it is not a side proof of China's weakness, especially China's national defense. However, in spite of this, the Chinese army still fought many beautiful battles, whether it was the Battle of Taierzhuang or the Battle of Saibei not long ago, the Chinese Army defeated the strong with the weak, and the army was defeated and the army was defeated, and the major generals and lieutenant generals were killed one after another. However, it was the army that lost all of them, and the navy did not suffer any losses. You must know that an island country like Ben has a navy based on its country, and the most elite and combat-effective army in its country is also a navy, just like Britain in Western Europe. As long as the navy of the army has not been damaged, then the army still has a chance to turn over, but once the navy of the army is destroyed, then the other branches of the army will be greatly affected, and Han Yunhua's move is a precedent for severely damaging the navy of the army, which is an extremely serious blow to the morale of the army. At the same time, this battle under Han Yunhua's department can greatly boost the anti-fighting spirit of the Chinese people, and let the countries of the world see China's military might and military style, so that they can strive for foreign aid to the greatest extent.

Finally, this battle can also remove the threat of the navy to the waterway of the Yangtze River. Although this dismantling is only a short-term dismantling and cannot fundamentally eliminate the threat of the Navy, as long as the Navy's fleet is being sent, the Chinese Navy will have to face the Navy's formidable enemy again. However, due to the conditions of the Yangtze River waterway, it is expected that the Chinese Navy will not be as inactive as before. After all, the water of the Yangtze River is so deep, and the carrying capacity is so large, even if the army has aircraft carriers and battleships such deterrent equipment, it is a pity that this kind of east and east cannot enter the Yangtze River. The largest and most useful warships in the Yangtze River are cruisers, but the Chinese Navy now has cruisers of this class, and there is more than one, so the threat to the Yangtze River waterway will be greatly reduced. At that time, the revitalization of the Yangtze River waterway will bring China's economy along the Yangtze River back to life, which will greatly benefit China's economic development.

That's why Chiang Kai-shek was so happy that he temporarily put aside decades of grievances and grievances with [***]. This is not that Chiang Kai-shek is overjoyed, but that Chiang Kai-shek has his own plans. How can such a big credit be enjoyed exclusively by [***], how can he Jiang have a piece of the pie, this is a great victory for the ages. But if you don't give [***] some benefits, [***] will definitely not do it, and those numbers and weapons and equipment will be used as hush money.
