In a blink of an eye, three months passed.

The time came to the 4th April of the 29th year of the Republic of China (1940), Qingming Festival.

Early in the morning, Yu Liangzhen and Zhong Yi brought a group of senior staff from the Chief Office, and brought water, wine and food to the Martyrs Cemetery in Lanxi to pay tribute to the fallen soldiers.

This martyrs cemetery is built in a valley not far from the chief's office.

Tens of thousands of soldiers who died in the two Zhejiang-Fujian battles were buried in the cemetery.

Entering the valley is an arch, passing through the arch, and moving forward along the valley. The hillsides on both sides are densely packed with tombstones. Many of the tombstones have no names. There is no way, so I can only carve anonymous names.

In this era, there were too many names and martyrs without names.

After the worship, Zhong Yi and Yu Liangzhen did not rush to return to the chief's office.

It was raining again at some point, so Zhang Shiliang and Yu Liangzhen's adjutant quickly opened the umbrella to block the rain for Zhong Yi and Yu Liangzhen.

Although the rain during the Qingming Festival is not very heavy, it is so cold that it is bitingly cold.

Looking at the vast raindrops falling in the valley, Yu Liangzhen sighed and said, "Unknown to me, this war has reached the fourth year of Qingming Festival. I really don't know how I survived these four years."

Zhong Yi sighed: "Just as Liang Gong said, let's wait, what else can I do besides enduring it?"

Yu Liangzhen said: "The problem is, I don't know how long it will take to last and when will it be."

"Yes, when will it be the head?" Qian Xiaojun, who was standing behind the two of them, also sighed, "The situation is getting harder and harder, we can't stand it anymore. Let's talk about this third Zhejiang-Fujian Battle. The Japanese didn't say that they would fight or fight. It was just that Chen Bing was in Shaoxing and Zhuji went to Shangyu, which made us unable to get up and down. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers could only soak in the rain. It was very hard. If this continued, I was worried that something would go wrong."

Zhong Yi's worries have become a reality.

After the 1st Division and 8th Division and other four divisions arrived, the old Japanese devil, Okamura, was not in a hurry to launch the third Zhejiang-Fujian Battle, but instead maintained military pressure outside the actual control line, which made more than 600,000 troops in the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone waiting for more than 600,000 people, and were worried every day.

After the rainy season in spring begins, the soldiers work even harder.

Zhong Yi originally expected that this rainy season would cause harm to the Japanese, but the Japanese hid in cities such as Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Zhuji and other cities and large and small strongholds without any damage. Instead, the national army suffered a lot.

Fortunately, I have reserved enough penicillin and have not lost much staff.

Faced with such a situation, Zhong Yi couldn't think of any solution.

Counterattack? Counterattack is impossible. A tough battle is different from a defensive battle, and it relies heavily on heavy weapons!

However, the heavy weapons in the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone were limited, and the only dozen available heavy artillery were captured on the battlefield. Zhong Yi did not think that with these dozen heavy artillery, he could launch a counterattack against the Japanese.

After all, the Japanese Air Force now has an overwhelming advantage.

It was raining today and the clouds were thick, so there was no air battle.

But before today, in the past three months, the air battle between the 1st Aviation Division and the Japanese Air Force has never stopped, and air battles of all sizes will be staged every day.

All 500 P-40 fighter jets ordered by Zhong Yi from Curtis have been transported, and even the 100 P-40 fighter jets ordered later have been transported, but this is still not enough to make up for the huge gap in air strength between the Chinese and Japanese armies, because at the same period, the Japanese Air Force's troops on the battlefield in Zhejiang and Fujian have increased to eight aviation divisions.

The eight aviation divisions have more than 5,000 fighter jets of various types, and more than 3,000 fighter jets alone, including more than 500 Zero fighter jets.

The new aircraft of the Air Force Zero fighter has caused the 1st Air Division to suffer.

To this day, there are only less than 100 P-40 fighter jets left in the 1st Aviation Division. Half of the more than 500 P-40 fighter jets shot down were shot down by Zero fighter jets.

Before this, Zhong Yi only heard about the power of Zero fighter jets in history books. Now, he has a personal understanding of the power of Zero fighter jets! It must be admitted that in addition to being a little thinner, the performance of this Japanese fighter jet is really nothing to say. It is definitely an excellent fighter jet.

At least before the P-51 Mustang fighter comes out, the Zero fighter is an invincible existence.

Of course, the 1st Aviation Division did not gain anything. The biggest gain was that it took this opportunity to train a large number of pilots, and the number of this large number was: 5,000 people!

Zhong Yi did not give any discount, saying that he had five thousand pilots, that was five thousand!

So far, including the students who studied while studying in the third phase, more than 5,000 students from the third phase that Kunming Aviation School have graduated have all gone to heaven and have experienced air combat experience! Many students have even had records of shooting down enemy planes!

After all, in the past three months of fighting, the 1st Aviation Division has lost more than 500 fighter jets, but the Japanese Air Force's losses are also very large. At the beginning, the Japanese Air Force's losses were actually greater than the 1st Aviation Division. It was not until the Zero fighter was equipped with the troops that the Japanese Air Force's losses began to gradually decrease.

But even so, the Japanese Air Force has lost more than a thousand aircraft in total.

This means that the 1st Aviation Division has more than 1,000 shot down records. Even though some students have two or even multiple shot down records, even if they are less likely to be, at least more than 500 pilots have already had shot down records.

And this is the biggest gain of this three-month air battle on the battlefield in Zhejiang and Fujian.

However, in general, the national army on the battlefield in Zhejiang and Fujian is still at an absolute disadvantage and life is not easy.

Moreover, Zhong Yi knew that the next two years were the most difficult two years, and now it was only April 40 years. There were still one and a half years before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, and this year and a half was the most difficult one.

At this moment, Zhong Yi said: "Mr. Liang Gong, the old commander, the next two years will be the most difficult. We must be mentally prepared enough, even including..."

Qian Xiaojun said: "What are included?"

Zhong Yi said: "It is not impossible, including Yin Jiang's loss."

"What? Yinjiang is lost?" Qian Xiaojun said, "Is it so serious?"

"I just said it's possible." Zhong Yi sighed, "Everything is planned, and if we don't plan, we will be abandoned. If we don't prepare mentally in advance, if Yin Jiang really loses, we will be caught off guard."

Yu Liangzhen said: "Zi Ren, are you talking about transferring Yinjiang's factory in advance?"
