Chapter 652: Aerial Hunting Operations

Chennault nodded blankly, his two fingers still standing in the air, obviously not coming out of the shock yet, until Chu Zhongtian ordered Du Tianci to demonstrate their battle plan, Chennault's expression froze, and his gaze returned to the map again.

The plan was drawn up by Jiang Haoran, and the news of his flight to Burma this time would be revealed to the Japanese army, and the distance between the special plane taking off from Chongqing and the Japanese planes taking off from the base was not much different, and it was expected that they would encounter the Japanese air force on the Yunnan-Burma border, and the flight group of the 40th Group Army arranged an encirclement in advance, using a squadron as a bait, to bring the enemy planes to the predetermined ambush circle, and immediately launched an attack on the enemy from all directions, and then the government escort group joined the battle, and the task of the Flying Tigers was to be responsible for intercepting the carrier-based planes that the Japanese troops rushed to support.

The plan was simple and straightforward, but Chennault knew at a glance that the effect was quite high, the Japanese Fifth Flying Group had less than 200 fighters, and the Chinese army had an advantage in numbers, and the superior performance of the Mustang fighters could make up for the defects of poor pilot quality, and in terms of tactics, it followed its own 'wolf pack tactics' and fully possessed the strength of the Fifth Flying Group of the Japanese Army. And it is impossible for the Japanese army to know that the Chinese army still has such a strong air force, even if it sends carrier-based aircraft to support, this number will not be too large, and the Flying Tigers can completely block the follow-up reinforcements of the Japanese army and buy time for the air strangulation of the Chinese army.

After the plan was formulated, Chennault offered to meet with the pilots of the 40th Army and strengthen the essence of his 'wolf pack tactics' to the pilots, Chu Zhongtian of course readily agreed, and immediately urgently summoned the pilots to the headquarters for a meeting, and was busy until midnight before Chennault left the base, and it was estimated that he should not be able to sleep all night tonight.

In the early morning, a round of red sun rose from the east, and thousands of rays of sunset were projected on the airport of Shatian Town, Chongqing, and six brand-new wolf warrior transport planes were shining in the sunset on the apron of the airport.

After receiving the news that Jiang Haoran had seen the light of day again and was about to go to Burma, the entire 331 base immediately boiled, and the snow wolf special combat team that escorted Jiang Haoran to his post took off from the base at dawn and arrived at Chongqing Shatin Airport at seven o'clock.

At this moment, the airport was full of heavily armed Snow Wolf Special Combat Team members standing around, cold as frost, Mei Xiang, and Mei Xin walked towards Jiang Haoran with a spring breeze.

In the end, it was a soldier, and several women did not throw themselves directly into Jiang Haoran's arms, but saluted with their chests and brushes, but they all smiled on their faces.

Jiang Haoran also officially returned the salute, and behind him there were the chairman of the National People's Congress who came to see him off, important ministers of the party-state, and Chinese and foreign reporters, of course, Jiang Haoran couldn't show his affection for his children, but he still asked strangely: "Why are you just the three of you, Yingying and Ye Zhaofeng?" ”

Leng Rushuang raised a finger and said with a smile: "They are in the sky, I heard that you are going to Myanmar to take up a post, Liang Changhe They assembled ten Mustang fighters overnight to escort you, and the chief of staff ordered her to serve as the deputy captain of the escort team." ”

As soon as the frosty words fell, a Mustang fighter jet burst out of the clouds, swooped down in the direction of the airfield, and then made a tumbling motion and quickly climbed up, hovering in the sky.

Jiang Haoran knew that it was Zhuang Yingying who was piloting the plane, and she was the only one who would have this kind of behavior at this time, waved her hand towards the sky, and then turned around and said: "Bench, chiefs, if there is no other explanation, Haoran will leave." ”

The chairman of the committee nodded, and said earnestly: "Haoran, the future of the country and the nation can all depend on you, you must fight the Japanese invaders and raise the national prestige of China!" ”

"Don't worry, the commission, Haoran must remember the teachings of the commission, live up to expectations, hit the Japanese invaders, and raise the prestige of my Chinese country!" Jiang Haoran stepped forward.

"Alright, let's go!" The chairman waved his hand.

In a spot of magnesium lights, Jiang Haoran saluted again, then turned around resolutely, faced the rising sun, and strode towards the wolf warrior transport plane at the airport.

Not far away, Chen Yihan hugged Li Yi's arm tightly, looked at Jiang Haoran's back calmly, and watched him board the plane.

Although the chairman of the committee did not hold her accountable again, he would never allow a person "over there" to stay by Jiang Haoran's side for a long time, so Chen Yihan could not accompany him on this expedition, for this reason, Li Yi secretly did not scold the chairman, especially at this moment, seeing that Jiang Haoran's wives could accompany her, Li Yi was even more unhappy, looking at Chen Yihan and secretly shaking her head and sighing.

The six transport planes on the tarmac soon took off, and a three-plane formation began to appear in the sky, and the planes taking off from various airports in Chongqing formed a huge air formation.

Bangkok, the headquarters of the Japanese Southern Army.

Less than 20 minutes after Jiang Haoran's plane took off from Chongqing, Lieutenant General Tsukada, chief of staff of the Japanese Southern Army, walked into the headquarters with a telegram in his hand, and began to shout at the door: "Terauchi-kun, fifteen minutes ago, Jiang Haoran's plane had taken off from Chongqing, six transport planes, escorting 70 fighters of the Chongqing government, and the 12 Zeros stolen by the Imperial Army were also among them, however, there is another strange thing, that is, the transport plane that appeared this time is actually a new type of transport aircraft, And there are ten new fighters. ”

"What, a new transport aircraft and a new fighter? Could it be that the 331 base has really developed an airplane? Shouichi Terauchi frowned.

Tsukada attacked: "Terauchi-kun don't worry, even if they really develop an airplane, it's not terrible, with the industrial and scientific and technological foundation of the national government, what good things can be developed, and they have the ability to successfully fly over Myanmar without disintegrating on their own?" The Imperial Japanese Army's Zero fighter jets will definitely make them look good, but we have to hurry? ”

Terauchi Shouichi raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said: "Time is in time, the speed of the transport plane is much slower than that of the fighter plane, it is estimated that we can meet them on the Yunnan-Burma border, and this time we must eliminate Jiang Haoran." ”

As soon as Shou Terauchi said this, he ordered the staff officer to issue an order, and all the fighters of the Fifth Flying Regiment took off immediately, and emphasized that Jiang Haoran's car was one of the six new transport planes, but any warrior who shot down the transport plane was promoted to one rank and was rewarded with 1 million yen, and the warrior who successfully shot down the transport plane and caused Jiang Haoran's death was promoted to the third rank and rewarded with 10 million yen.

Yesterday, Admiral Yamamoto of the Navy had agreed to transfer two flying teams, a total of 76 fighters to participate in this air hunting operation, and with the double insurance of this second echelon, Terauchi Shouichi believed that Jiang Haoran could not escape from the palm of the imperial army even if he had three heads and six arms.
