He participated in several major battles such as Tingsi Bridge, Hesheng Bridge and the siege of Wuchang. Returning to Wuhan for rest in November, Li Hanhun was promoted to commander of the 36th Regiment of the 12th Division.
On April 12, 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched a counter-revolutionary coup in Shanghai, established the National Government in Nanjing, and confronted the National Government that moved from Guangzhou to Wuhan, resulting in a split situation. The expanded troops of the Fourth Army have been divided into two groups. Chen Mingshu, who supports Chiang, went to Shanghai to find Chiang Kai-shek, and Zhang Fakui, who supports anti-Chiang, defected to Wang Jingwei.

In December, the Communist Party of China led the Guangzhou uprising and established a revolutionary regime. Zhang Fakui immediately transferred Li Hanhun and other troops back to Guangzhou to suppress the uprising. In 1928, Li Hanhun participated in Chiang Kai-shek's Northern Expedition. After cooperating with friendly forces in Shandong to annihilate the remnants of Zhang Zongchang's warlords, they were centrally reorganized. The Fourth Army was renamed the Fourth Division, with Zhang Fakui as the division commander and Li Hanhun as the deputy division commander.
After participating in the Chiang Kai-shek War in 1929 and experiencing several melee failures in Huaxian, Beiliu, and Hengyang, Li Hanhun resigned and left the Fourth Army to live in Hong Kong for a period of time. After the cooperation between Guangdong and Guangxi, in 1933, Chen Jitang appointed Li Hanhun as the general counselor of the First Group Headquarters.

Li Hanhun and his officers and soldiers, full of anger, rushed to repair the fortifications, plug the loopholes, and set up various organizations to prepare for the battle. At the same time, he and the soldiers wore armor and swords to guard the front line of national defense in the Chaoshan area on the edge of the South China Sea. At this time, Chen Jitang joined forces with Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi to launch the "June 1st Southwest Incident" in an attempt to launch an armed rebellion against Chiang Kai-shek under the banner of "going north to resist Japan". After arriving in Wuhan, they would move down the Yangtze River and directly to Nanjing. in order to replace it.
Li Hanhun saw that at a time when the foreign invasion was serious, domestic bean sprouts were in danger, which was very detrimental to the united resistance against Japan. He believed that Chen Jitanghou was a personal favor and that resisting the central government was an enemy. After repeated persuasion to no avail, he resigned and went to Hong Kong. He also sent three messages: one to persuade Chen Jitang to stop his troops and unite to resist foreign aggression; the other to the head of the Kuomintang Central Committee to clarify the inside story of raising troops in the southwest, please coordinate the overall plan and unite in the war of resistance; the other to invite the generals at all levels in Guangdong Province to ** *Physical times are difficult and cannot be tolerated. After the telegram was sent, it had a great impact. Chen Jitang rebelled against his relatives and left his hometown to go to Hong Kong. After the Southwest Incident was resolved, Li Hanhun returned to Guangdong and resumed his duties.
In 1937, the Japanese invading army launched the "July 7 Marco Polo Bridge Incident" and then attacked Shanghai on "August 13". Driven by the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang, soldiers and civilians across the country rose up to kill the enemy. The resistance against Japan was carried out in an all-round way. Li Hanhun was promoted to commander of the 64th Army and asked to go north to fight against Japan. In the spring of 1938, he was allowed to go to the Longhai Line. On May 16, the Japanese Doihara Division, with a main force of more than 10,000 men and 70 or 80 artillery pieces, attacked Guide and Lanfeng in an attempt to cut off the Longhai Road and prevent the Chinese army from going south from Xuzhou. Li Hanhun was ordered to be the commander-in-chief of the first line of Xue Yue's first regiment. He deployed part of the three-line defense and personally led the 64th Army to attack the enemy entrenched in Luowang Village. He fired heavy artillery directly at the enemy stronghold. The battle was extremely fierce. On May 27, Luo Wangzhai was recaptured. At the same time, the 71st Army also defeated Lanfeng, thereby opening up the Longhai Line, allowing the main force after the Xuzhou Battle to advance westward along the Longhai Line. The highest authority of the National Government awarded him the "Huazhou Medal of Honor".
On July 22, 1938, the Japanese army attacked Wuhan. Li Hanhun was transferred to participate in the defense of Wuhan and was responsible for commanding the battle on the Nanxun Line. On the 25th, the Japanese troops landed near Jiujiang again. Jiujiang was lost. The enemy troops landed at Xingyuzhou along the Nanxun Line and invaded De'an. Li Hanhun mobilized the troops of 8 divisions and used the "one-stop" tactic to suppress more than 10,000 enemies into the narrow area of ????Zhanggu Mountain, which was less than 3 miles deep. Finally, they gathered together to annihilate them and captured De'an. Great victory. The unit won one "Steel Army" banner award.
On October 21, 1938, Guangzhou fell. In November, Li Hanhun was appointed chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Government, and led his troops back to Guangdong in December. In March 1938, the Guangdong Provincial Party Headquarters of the Kuomintang was reorganized, and Li Hanhun was elected as the chairman.
In December 1939, two Japanese divisions and one brigade attacked northern Guangdong in three directions. Li Hanhun was appointed commander-in-chief of the 35th Group Army and commanded the temporary Second Army and Sixth Army. The 13th Army, the 64th Army and the reinforcements of the Central Army pursued and suppressed the enemy on the west bank of Beijiang and achieved victory. To this end, all walks of life in Guangdong held a victory celebration meeting in Qujiang.
In January 1940, Li Hanhun resigned as commander-in-chief of the 35th Group Army and devoted himself to Guangdong government affairs. He served as chairman of the provincial government in Guangdong for 6 years and 8 months.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Li Hanhun was transferred to the deputy commander-in-chief of the Third Theater Zone, and later visited Europe and the United States. On New Year's Day, 1949, Li Zongren assumed the office of acting president. He should be recalled to serve as general and military commander; in March, He Yingqin succeeded Sun Ke to form the cabinet, and Li Hanhun was appointed as the Minister of the Interior. Soon, he resigned from his post and moved to Hong Kong to settle in the United States. In 1982, he returned to China for a visit at the invitation of Comrade Liao Chengzhi. Died of illness in New York, USA on June 30, 1987. His ashes were brought back to the motherland by his daughter Li Zhen and placed in Nanhua Temple, an ancient temple in Shaoguan, Guangdong.
