Here's the answer:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)/([0-9]+\-.*)?\.html /$1/$2 [NC,L]

As for why you'd want to do this... if you have a lot of in-bound links pointing to *.html files you don't want to just invalidate those links. That'll kill SEO, bookmarks, etc.

Not being an ass here, I have no idea why you would have in-bound links pointing to .html or .htm files
