At 10 a.m. on September 10, a B29 bomber landed at the Ruijin military airport in Jiangxi Province, and when the roar of the huge engine stopped, it heralded the mysterious journey of this uninvited guest. The B29 bomber crossed the dangerous Everest route from Mumbai, India, and landed directly at Jiujiang Airport in Jiangxi Province. At present, only Ruijin can land B29 bombers in China, is this difficult to coincidence? The huge body of the B29 bomber occupies a prominent position in Ruijin Airport, like a fortress in the air.

In order to support Britain's war against Germany, the U.S. Military Department asked Boeing to openly develop an all-weather long-range bomber, which meant that the British mainland would directly carry out air strikes on the entire territory of Germany. To this end, Boeing began to develop the B17 bomber on the basis of the B29 bomber. After two years of development, Boeing began production of prototypes at the beginning of the year. Two prototypes were produced in August, and the B29 bomber was urgently requisitioned by the U.S. military department after only one test flight, barely loaded with any equipment and weapons systems.

The fledgling "Flying Fortress" took off from the continental United States and crossed the Atlantic, made a short stop in South Africa and then flew non-stop to Kolkata, India, and then the B29 bomber crossed the dangerous Everest route and landed at Ruijin Military Airport in Jiangxi Province. The B29 bomber is 30 and 18 meters long, with a wingspan of 43 and 05 meters, a height of 8 and 46 meters, and a maximum ceiling of 10,241 meters. The empty weight is 33800 kg, the full weight is 5400 kg, and the maximum take-off weight is 60560 kg.

The B29 bomber uses 4 aero engines with a power of 1600 kilowatts. The maximum speed is 574 km, the maximum cruising range is 5663 km, and the combat radius is 2896 km. If you carry additional fuel, the transfer distance can reach up to 9654 km. At this time, Ouyang Jian, Stilwell, General Chennault, and Special Forces Commander Mu Shixiong stood side by side, and on one side stood a group of special combat members of the Eighth Route Army waiting to leave. After receiving an order from the Ministry of National Defense, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was able to select 150 outstanding special combat personnel from the special operations brigade to be on standby.

Ouyang Jian looked at the huge air fortress, a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth. At the beginning, the expansion of Ruijin Airport had plans in this regard, but I did not expect that the Japanese special combat team would appear on Kuah Island, causing a butterfly effect, and then making this air fortress almost unknown to the outside world appear here. Needless to say, in the future, the U.S. military's B29 will not appear in Chongqing, and will definitely be deployed here, what does it mean? Go without saying. When Ouyang Jian was secretly proud, a US major got off the plane.

The U.S. military major reported to Stilwell, and after a brief negotiation, asked the special combat personnel to get on the plane quickly. "General Ouyang, time is pressing, give an order!" Stilwell said with a solemn expression. Ouyang Jian walked to the front of the queue of special combat members, "All pay attention, stand up and salute!" The captain of the special operations group in front of the line, who is also the leader of this mission, shouted loudly. Ouyang Jian returned the military salute and said, "Comrades, our allied soldiers have encountered difficulties on the isolated island and need your urgent assistance. Your old adversary is on Kuah Island and is hunting down American soldiers. ”

"You're going to fly halfway around the world on this plane, and it's an unprecedented sortie for you. It is not the first time for you to go abroad to fight, but it is the first time for Chinese soldiers to go to the distant South Pacific. I hope that you will assist the Allied forces and show the prestige of Chinese soldiers, and the headquarters has great confidence in you. "Please rest assured that the head of the headquarters and the chief of the General Staff will resolutely complete the task!" Jie Zhenbang shouted loudly. "Let's go!" Ouyang Jian gave a majestic order.

Jie Zhenbang waved his arm, and the front row members collectively turned into a line and walked towards the plane. Soon, all 150 members of the team were on the plane. Perhaps the pilot of the US military plane was like an arrow and began to taxi without waiting for the command on the ground. The clumsy body of the B29 bomber seemed reluctant to leave the ground, and under the anxious gaze of the people, the fuselage finally began to soar into the sky. Soon the plane disappeared into the western sky.

Since there was no messy equipment installed in the cabin of the B29 bomber, the crew sat in separate rows, filling almost all the space. The U.S. colonel in charge of the response was crammed into the cab and was talking to Jie Zhenbang. Jie Zhenbang's military rank is lieutenant colonel, and the US military major is not one level lower in rank and appears polite, but is impressed by the momentum of the Eighth Route Army's special combat team. In particular, the murderous aura reflected on the faces of the team members shows that these fierce soldiers have been on the battlefield for a long time.

Although Jie Zhenbang is not fluent in English, he can basically communicate with the US military major and gestures. Many of the special combat team members are proficient in English, which is directly related to Ouyang Jian's words and deeds. In their spare time, many of the team members can speak English. This time, 150 special combat personnel were urgently selected to form a temporary brigade, under which three squadrons were set up, and Li Gang was appointed as the leader of the first squadron. At this time, Li Gang and several squadron leaders sitting in front of him whispered, holding the charts provided by the US side in their hands to look for Kuah Island.

"Major Baker, how long will it take for us to get to our destination!" Jie Zhenbang asked. "This is a very dangerous, boring fulfillment. Arrive in Australia in at least 30 hours, excluding the time spent on refueling. In Australia, you'll have to change transport planes to the aircraft carrier ships cruising the Solomon Islands and then to Kuah Island. "It's just so fast! That's halfway around the world! "Your soldiers will endure the torment of the journey."

"Major Jack, my soldiers are specially trained and have the ability to fight continuously. They marched hundreds of miles on land and could still go into battle! Jack couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, and thought to himself what kind of army this was, so difficult that the soldiers were all beaten with iron. Ha ha! I found Kuah Island here! Li Gang shouted excitedly. The place names on the map were all in English, so it was no wonder that he was so excited and startled. At about 4 p.m., the plane landed at Terry Air Base, the southernmost part of India.

After the plane came to a standstill, Jie Zhenbang announced: "Comrades, the plane will stop here for an hour, and everyone will go down to do activities and have something to eat." Clean as much as you can, remember to drink less water, and the next thing is a long flight! "The B29 hung up the fuel tank at the airfield and began to fly again. Soon, the plane entered the Indian Ocean, and although the team members could not see the vastness of the sea, they seemed to feel a magical force surging.

The crew in the cabin were asleep, and the roar of the engine was like a lullaby. Major Baker also fell into a lethargic state, and Jie Zhenbang did not feel sleepy at all. Through Major Baker's introduction, he had a general understanding of the situation on Kuah Island. More than 10,000 U.S. soldiers were trapped on Kuah Island. In particular, the Japanese special forces hunted terribly, and it was the first time that American soldiers participated in such a brutal combat ・・・・・・.

The east showed the white of the fish's belly, and by this time the plane had already crossed the African continent. As the ocean approached, Major Baker announced that the plane would land at the British Air Force airfield on Ascension Island in the Atlantic, and that the plane would stay for two hours. The reason is that the plane not only has to refuel here, but also does the necessary checks to ensure that the plane flies safely to its destination. In fact, B29 flew all the way from the mainland of the United States to Jiangxi and has been subjected to the most cruel test. But a very terrible situation arose, another B29 prototype had an accident during a test flight, and the engine suddenly caught fire.

The plane then crashed, killing two pilots, including 20 workers who participated in the test flight. When the other prototype crashed, the B29 carrying the Eighth Route Army's special combat team was flying over the Indian Ocean. Having received this information, the US military did not inform the pilot of the plane, so as not to cause panic. As originally planned, the aircraft stayed at Ascension Air Force Airport for 40 minutes, and the two-hour extension was necessary to carry out the necessary inspection of the aircraft.

After the plane landed, the mechanics at the British air base quickly checked the plane's engines, and the special combat personnel had a rare two hours to do so. On the west side of the airport is the vast Atlantic Ocean, and the pleasure of the sea for these special combat personnel who have never seen the sea is indescribable in words. The team members breathed in the sea breeze with a hint of fresh air, and played with smiles and smiles. But where did they think that they would be put to a hellish test next?

"Festival, you're about to face a brutal battle, and your team doesn't seem to care, don't they care about death?" Major Baker questioned. He knew in his heart that if an American soldier went on such a dangerous mission, the depression and fear would make people breathless. "Major Baker, my subordinates are afraid that there is no fighting, and when I heard that there is a battle, I am immediately full of spirit and excitement. They think very clearly and mentally prepare for death, because it is a fight for the country. Major Baker was confused, he did not understand why the Chinese thought this way.

The planes continued to take off, and after a short stop in Argentina, continued westward with their destination being Australia. However, no one expected that an accident happened on the final journey.
