Solution must be limited to VH steps only ... and basics must be solved manually as well!

Code:
 +-----------------------+
 | . 4 . | 6 . . | 1 . . |
 | 9 5 . | . . . | 4 . 3 |
 | . . 8 | 9 . 4 | . . . |
 |-------+-------+-------|
 | 5 . 4 | 3 . 9 | . . 1 |
 | . . . | . 4 . | . . 9 |
 | . . 9 | 2 . 5 | 8 . . |
 |-------+-------+-------|
 | 4 1 . | . . 8 | 7 . . |
 | . . . | . . . | . 8 . |

OK, there is a 4UR 36 and a 3UR 17 that solve it.

Or, an SS6 followed by a W-wing -16.
