    But what surprised him was that these young men from the air force were very up to date. They went up and beat the Japanese air force to pieces.

    They were able to achieve such results in addition to their hard training and superb flight combat skills.  Another important reason is that the performance of the fighter jets they equipped is more advanced than those equipped by the Japanese army at this time.

    It can even be said that the advanced performance of these fighter jets has, to a certain extent, made up for the technical and experience gap between these pilots and the Japanese aviation force.

    After this battle, these pilots began to grow up rapidly.

    After the troops on both sides retreated backwards, a buffer zone of dozens of kilometers was left between the occupied areas of both sides.  This time the battle was completely over.

    The scale of this battle was not large, and it lasted for more than a week.

    The Japanese army was quite satisfied with this result.  After all, they did not suffer much losses, and the enemy troops indeed pushed back the buffer zone by more than ten kilometers.

    "But there was one person in the Japanese camp who was very dissatisfied.

    This person is none other than Prince Mikasa Takahito, the younger brother of the current Emperor.

    Because according to his original vision, they would be defeated in this battle.  Then he will become a prisoner of the enemy and a prisoner of war as a matter of course.

    He heard that the prisoners of war on the opposite side were treated quite well. Mikasa Palace even felt that if he revealed his identity, he might be invited to visit their base.

    This is very important to Mikasa Palace, because he plans to return to Japan and carry out armed struggle.  So it is very important for him to learn from the struggle experience of these red armed forces.

    But now, things didn¡¯t go as planned, and they actually ended up in a draw with their opponent.

    This made Mikasa Palace, who wanted to be a prisoner, very unhappy. On the way back to Shijiazhuang from Lingshan Town, his face was full of displeasure.

    Lily Ogawa and others thought that the prince was depressed because they failed to win the battle.  But he didn't expect that Prince Chongren was devastated because he was not captured by the enemy.

    But his evil intentions persisted. Even after returning to his residence, he began to walk around the streets every day, striving to become the target of the underground party.

    When he reveals his identity again, these underground parties will definitely take him to their rear base camp.

    After the battle in Lingshan Town ended, it was already more than April.

    At this time, in the Henan area, in the military buffer zone between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the people no longer worry about when there will be another war.

    Because what they need to worry about now is when God will rain heavily.

    In the Central Plains, the winter has been dry for a whole winter, and now it has been spring for so long, but there is still no sign of rain.

    Zhang Qin, an old man living in Xihua County, Henan Province, has lived in this land for more than 60 years.  His family has three acres of thin farmland. Although it is not much, it can provide enough food and clothing for his family.

    For so many years, he has relied on these three acres of thin farmland to survive.

    It has to be said that during China¡¯s feudal period, under the long and lasting trend of land annexation, it was really rare that he could still own his own land without being annexed by landlords and gentry.

    At an age when he should have been enjoying the joy of being together, he was frowning. In just one month, his tall and straight figure had become a lot more rickety.

    Because of the drought, most of the seedlings in the wheat field were drooping on the ground, looking listless, as if they were his hungry little grandson.

    "Grandpa, I'm hungry!"

    The little grandson ran over naked, his clothes covered in dust were covered with dust.

    If it had been in the past, Zhang Qin would have wanted to give all the food in the granary to his grandson when he saw that he was hungry.

    But now it¡¯s no longer possible, because their food supply is about to bottom out.  If the drought continues, within half a month at most, there will be no harvest this year.

    In this day and age, it is self-evident what failure means.

    When the time comes, the land will be starved to death, and people will exchange children for food. These contents that seem to exist in history books and songbooks will become a reality.

    What's more, this is the war era, coinciding with the autumn of troubled times. The government is busy fighting a war, where can??Have time to take care of them.  Once famine occurs, they will have no choice but to starve to death or leave their homes and go begging for food in other places where food is available.

    ¡°My dear grandson, wait a moment, it¡¯s not even dinner time yet!¡±

    As Zhang Qin spoke, he put his pipe on his waist and said to his daughter in the room: "Xiao Cui, I'm going to Zhang Yuan's house to see if I can ask for some food."

    With that said, he walked towards Zhang Yuan's wife's house with his hands clasped behind his back and his body hunched.

    Zhang Yuanwai has lived here for hundreds of years. Through the family business accumulated by his ancestors, they are the largest landowners within a radius of thirty miles.

    Not only Zhangjia Village, but also farmers¡¯ lands in several surrounding villages were annexed by them.

    And these farmers who lost their land can only become tenants, coming to help when farming is busy.  And he will give these farmers some money or food.

    This money and food can ensure that these farmers will not starve to death.  But if I want more, there is not a word left.

    During this period, Zhang Yuanwai was in a bad mood, not because of the war, but because of the drought.

    He is not afraid of war, the Japanese also need to eat food!  Then you are providing them with food. The Japanese want to kill people, but they are also killing those useless ordinary people, and not killing yourself.

    So he won¡¯t have to leave his hometown just because the Japanese are coming, or he won¡¯t think about food and drink.  What worries him is drought.

    Because the drought means that he will have no harvest this year, and he may even have to open the granary to distribute food to relieve ordinary people who have not kept up with their standards.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
