Chapter 653: Strangulation in the Air
Hukang River Valley, around 8 a.m.
The news that Jiang Haoran was going to be airborne in Burma today had already spread to all the officers and men of the expeditionary force, which undoubtedly gave the demoralized soldiers a shot in the arm, and the soldiers were all looking forward to this general who had created countless legends, so they began to look up at the sky early in the morning.
Jiang Haoran's order was to rely on the Hukang River valley to build fortifications on the spot, so the soldiers began to get busy early in the morning, and tens of thousands of people carried out earthwork on a river valley, and the scene was absolutely spectacular.
Among them, a private brandished the sapper shovel in his hand, but after a few moments, he stopped with the shovel handle, and began to look up at the sky again, and also led many people next to him. An ensign officer crept up behind the private and kicked him in the ass.
The private stumbled, used his hands and feet on the ground and did not fall, and scolded on the spot, "Which bastard kicks Lao Tzu, see if Lao Tzu is not beaten?????? Yo, it's the platoon leader, why are you kicking me? ”
The lieutenant shouted angrily, "Stinky boy, your head is itchy, isn't it? I haven't heard that this new general seat is not ambiguous, the task is not completed, but it is going to eat chestnuts, you kid always look at the sky, can this fortification be repaired? Hurry up and dig for Lao Tzu! ”
"Hehe, platoon commander, they all say that the new general seat is like a god, do you think he can really bring us back to China?" Private asked flatteringly.
", who can do it if the new head seat doesn't work? Hurry up and dig fortifications for Lao Tzu! As he spoke, the second lieutenant platoon commander offered his leg skills to the private, which frightened the privates and hurriedly waved the shovel in his hand, causing a burst of laughter at the scene.
"Airplanes, airplanes!"
At this moment, I don't know who suddenly shouted twice, and all the people immediately stared at the sky, and indeed heard the roar of an airplane, hurriedly dropped the tools in their hands, grabbed their weapons, and the officers began to howl for the soldiers to conceal their defense, and they didn't know whether it was an enemy plane or Jiang Haoran's special plane, and the necessary precautions were still indispensable.
The Hukang River Valley belongs to the tropical rainforest climate, the primeval forest covers the sky and the sun, tens of thousands of people hide without any effort, and the valley that is still in full swing just now, Ulala's walk away cleanly at once.
After a while, several fighter jets swept through the sky, and the eye-catching blue sky and white sun badge under the wings made the soldiers on the ground begin to boil, and they ran out of the hidden spot again, one by one waving their weapons and cheering at the sky.
Not far away, the headquarters of the expeditionary force.
Stilwell, Luo Zhuoying and a group of generals also went out at this moment, looking at the plane in the sky.
In order to meet Jiang Haoran, the open space on the ground had already arranged a guide and landing mark, and a simple runway that was crushed overnight was waiting for Jiang Haoran's plane to land at any time, but these planes obviously had no intention of landing, and only fighters were seen.
And what puzzled everyone was that although there was an obvious blue sky and white sun badge under the plane, this kind of model had never been seen before, and even the well-informed Stilwell frowned, the silver paint, the shape was smooth and powerful, and the wolf head logo with bared teeth and extremely arrogant teeth at the bow of the plane increased his might.
"It's the head seat, no doubt!" Everyone was puzzled, but Luo Zhuoying said affirmatively.
"How do you know?" Stilwich said.
Luo Zhuoying pointed to the plane in the sky and said: "With this wolf head, everyone in the world knows that the logo of the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team is the wolf head, and the 331 base has been developing aircraft, and this must be the aircraft developed by the 331 base." ”
Luo Zhuoying was proud of his judgment, but suddenly found that Stilwell's face became very ugly, his eyes were stunned when he looked at the sky, and he looked up suspiciously.
I saw that in the southeast sky, dense planes were overwhelming like locusts, and the plaster pattern under the wings was very eye-catching, obviously Japanese fighters, and it seemed that the situation was chasing the six fighters in front.
The valley, which was still a noisy and shouting valley just now, instantly quieted down, and the tense atmosphere instantly spread in the valley, and there was a sense of depression that made people breathless.
However, this situation did not last long, just when the officers and men of the expeditionary force were sweating for the Chinese air force in the sky, suddenly, the Japanese planes were in chaos, and countless planes from all directions were seen outflanking the Japanese planes, forming a huge encirclement.
Hundreds of fighter planes were stirred in the sky in an instant, and the roar of airplanes, the sound of machine guns, the sound of machine guns, and the explosion of planes being shot suddenly resounded, and from time to time planes crashed with thick smoke roaring, and pilots' parachutes could be seen floating in the sky.
The officers and men of the expeditionary force on the ground finally came to their senses and began to shout hoarsely, "The Chinese Air Force is strong!" The Chinese Air Force rises! ”
Stilwell also immediately understood that Jiang Haoran had staged a good show for him before he arrived, and the Japanese planes were brought into the encirclement by him, and the reason why he chose to strangle the Japanese air force in the Hukang River Valley was entirely to encourage the officers and men of the expeditionary force, a force that was deep behind enemy lines, a good commander alone was far from enough, and morale was the prerequisite for getting out of the predicament. Stilwell also understood that although these national pilots in the sky were not necessarily superior to the enemy in terms of skills, the planes they flew were definitely superior in performance to the Japanese planes, and their speed and agility were obviously much higher than those of the Japanese planes.
The Japanese planes in the sky were not dominated by the Zero, most of them were still the Japanese Army's Type 95 and Type 96, but even in the face of the Type Zero, the Chinese pilots seemed to have found a trick to attack it, focusing on its fuel tank, and the Japanese Type Zero exploded almost immediately, and it was tried and tested. Moreover, the Chinese Air Force will always be several fighters attacking one enemy fighter at the same time.
In just a few dozen minutes, it has been clearly seen that the Chinese Air Force has an absolute superiority, and there are fewer and fewer Japanese fighters in the sky, while the pilots of the National Army are becoming more and more courageous and flexible the more they fight.
Looking at the parachutes falling in the sky, Stilwell suddenly howled: "Quick, order the troops to send a search team and a medical team to search and rescue the Chinese pilots and capture the Japanese pilots." ”
?????? Twenty minutes ago, in the sky dozens of kilometers away from the Baoshan base.
The air formation composed of hundreds of fighters surrounded the six wolf warrior transport planes in the middle and rumbled to the direction of Baoshan.
Suddenly, almost at the same time, hundreds of fighters dropped the auxiliary fuel tanks under the wings and flew at full speed in the direction of Myanmar.
In less than a few minutes after the fighter disappeared, hundreds of wolf warrior transport planes flew out from the direction of Baoshan, taking over the escort position of the fighters, and continued to move forward with six wolf warrior transport planes.
