Three days later, Lanxi Town, Jinhua.

Sun Zhi walked into the Chief of Staff's office, stood at attention, and said loudly: "Report to the Chief of Staff, Li Sifu, deputy of Major Battalion, 2nd Battalion, 1st Regiment, Rong 1st Division, the 41st Army of the National Revolutionary Army, was ordered to report, please give me instructions!"

"Police Li Ying." Zhong Yi replied with a military salute and said with a smile, "We have been missing for a long time."

Since the end of the Wuhan Battle, Zhong Yi has rarely returned to the old army. Senior generals such as Zhu Liangcheng and Sun Liren can occasionally meet him, but officers like Li Shufu have basically never met him again.

Li Shufu also smiled and said, "Yes, since the Wuhan meeting ended, I have never seen the genitals again. Brothers miss the genitals very much."

Zhong Yi laughed and said, "Let's talk less, I'll come to you today, two things."

Li Shufu smiled and said, "I listen carefully."

Zhong Yi said: "The first thing is to give you an additional title. From now on, you will no longer be the deputy of the Major's battalion. Your military rank is officially promoted from major to colonel!"

"What?" Li Shufu was stunned, "Just promoted to colonel?"

"Yes." Zhong Yi nodded, "Just be promoted to colonel."

Li Shufu continued: "So, the task that Hu Qi must undertake must be particularly arduous, right?"

"Yes, not." Zhong Yi nodded, "To put it bluntly, the tasks you are about to undertake are actually very easy. Anyone can be sent to do it easily, but it is not easy to do it well."

Li Shufu stood attentively and said seriously: "Please refer to the seat to order!"

Zhong Yi nodded again and said, "From now on, you are the colonel liaison officer sent to Sichuan Province from the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone. You have only one task, that is, to recruit the 200,000 Sichuan-born soldiers from the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone to our Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone. One of them will not be left behind and all of them will be brought back to Zhejiang Province safely. Remember, no one is allowed to fall behind and all of them will be brought over!"

"Yes!" Li Shufu stood attentively, "No one will fall back, take it back to Zhejiang Province!"

"I will send you a platoon of troops!" Zhong Yi said again, "No matter who obstructs it or what reason, you must suppress it on the spot. Don't be afraid of something wrong. If something happens, the war zone will take care of you! But don't cause trouble."

"Yes!" Li Shufu said, "I'm not afraid of trouble, but I don't cause trouble!"

"Okay." Zhong Yi said, "you go."

"Yes." Li Shufu turned around and left.

Watching Li Shufu's figure go away, Yu Liangzhen stepped forward and asked, "Zi Ren, this time, except for 200,000 Sichuan soldiers, Guangxi also produced 100,000 Sichuan soldiers. Why do you only send people to Sichuan to pick up Sichuan soldiers and not to send people to Guangxi?"

"There is no need to accept the strong men in Guangxi." Zhong Yi said, "With Li Guangxi, Bai Chong is sad, and no one dares to make things difficult for Guangxi people."

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "But the strong men of the Sichuan Army are different. Liu Xiang is no longer there. Yang Sen, Deng Xihou, Tang Shizun, and Wang Lingji have no say, so everyone dares to bully the Sichuan Army now, so the Sichuan Army leaving Sichuan will suffer a lot and cannot even afford to eat."

"The Sichuan Army is honest and dare not or want to steal the people's."

"So, if we don't send people to pick them up, the 200,000 replenishment soldiers who leave Sichuan will be able to reach Jinhua alive and burn incense!"

Zhong Yi is really not talking nonsense.

In another time and space, not only the Sichuan army's strong men, but also the other provinces have the same mortality rate, with an astonishing mortality rate.

Basically, if two or three strong men can reach the front line, they will burn high incense. Some of the missing men will escape and most of them will die of illness and starvation.

During the eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the national army was killed in total, with more than 3.2 million missing people. In fact, less than half of the national army soldiers who died on the battlefield were actually less than half. This unknown dark history is cruel, but it is an ironclad fact!

As a time traveler, Zhong Yi never wants to see such a tragedy happen again.

Yu Liangzhen's expression was condensed and he said in a deep voice: "Is it really that serious?"

Zhong Yi didn't explain, shook his head and said, "Are you ready for trouble?"

"That's true." Yu Liangzhen nodded, and his attention quickly returned to the battle situation in front of him, and said, "Zi Ren, how long does it take for the Japanese to complete the deployment?"

Zhong Yi said: "The Japanese mobilized the troops this time very large, and the preparation time will inevitably be long. If nothing unexpected happens, it will take at least one to two months, or even more than three months."

"Three months." Yu Liangzhen pondered, "That's around Qingming Festival?"

Zhong Yi said: "It's almost the same. The battle should really begin around Qingming Festival."

"In this case, we must prepare more raincoats." Yu Liangzhen nodded and said, "In the Qingming Festival in Zhejiang Province, there are more than ten rainy days. If you don't prepare raincoats, the soldiers will have to soak in the water to fight. It will not only be very hard, but also easily get sick. Ziren, what do you think?"

Zhong Yi was moved after hearing this and said, "Will there be a lot of rain around Qingming Festival?"

"Absolutely." Yu Liangzhen said, "It's not like there is a poem that rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, which describes the Qingming Festival in our Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas."

"That's it." Zhong Yi gently stroked the short beard growing on his lips and fell into deep thought.

Yu Liangzhen's expression moved and asked, "Zi Ren, have you come up with any good idea again?"

"There is no good idea, but I do have a vague idea." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "All wars are nothing more than the right time and place, harmony of people, and the right place. We have never lacked people. If the time and time are with me, then from the perspective of military strategy, we will take the lead. In this way, there may be a chance to win!"

Yu Liangzhen said: "Don't hide it, tell me what you think."

"Actually, it's nothing," said Zhong Yi. "In the spring and autumn seasons of Jiangsu and Zhejiang every year, in addition to the continuous rain, it is often accompanied by large-scale influenza."

"It's true. Every year, a lot of people die from flu outbreaks." Yu Liangzhen said, "But now that we have penicillin, the situation is much better. Few people died of influenza last fall."

Zhong Yi smiled and said, "But the Japanese don't have penicillin yet!"

Yu Liangzhen's emotions moved and said in a deep voice: "Zi Ren, what do you mean..."

"Yes, Liang Gong, you guessed it right, that's what I mean!" Zhong Yi said, "It seems that it is very necessary to let Yinjiang Pharmaceutical Factory speed up the production of penicillin. Moreover, if the production capacity is large, there is another advantage. The cost can be diluted and the sales price can be lower! Of course, this is just the internal sales price. If it is exported, the price will remain unchanged."
