Chapter 57: Running Alarm 2

"Run the alarm! Run the alarm! "The shops on the streets were closed, and the crowds of people with their families were pouring into the gates and the gaps in the walls to get out of the city. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Kunming is not Chongqing, there are countless air-raid shelters in Chongqing, Kunming has only been bombed twice, the urban area is small, and you can only hide outside the city in case of air raids. In fact, there was nothing to hide outside the city, only four or five feet deep air-raid trenches. This is the trench, which has not yet been covered, but fortunately, the trench is dug very standardly, and a crooked bomb will not be completely destroyed if it falls.

"The Long March of 10,000 miles, quit the palace of the Five Dynasties, temporarily stopped in Hengshan and Xiangshui, and became a parting. Absolutely transplant the dry quality of the zhen, and Kyushu is sprinkled with Li Yuan's blood. Blowing as much as possible, the strings are recited in the mountain city, and the love is ......"

The grass outside Kunming is verdant, and the snow-white woody flowers bloom in the spring. For college students in Kunming, running the alarm is not like a disaster, but like an unorganized outing. Outside the ancient city walls, teachers and students are in different shapes. Some sat on the floor and continued their lessons, some gathered together to play poker, and some went in pairs to whisper in remote places, while some of the remaining students stood on high places and stared straight into the sky, not only wanting to know what the Japanese planes looked like, but also wanting to see how the navy attacked Japanese planes -- it was rumored that the navy had shot down 40 or 50 Japanese planes in Xichou County in southern Yunnan, and that there were people in the city who specially used the wreckage of Japanese planes to make pots and pans......

“…… Not a country. What is the Army? The navy's resistance to Japan was also resisted under the leadership of the Standing Chairman, and under the leadership of the Standing Chairman, it was the country. Jun, am I wrong about what I said? Under the woody flowers, the students were arguing loudly, and they were right.

"And what did the Soviet Air Force say? The Soviet Air Force was also a country. Army? A voice was unconvinced and retorted vigorously.

"Is the Soviet Air Force the USSR, the USSR a country, the Navy a country?" The original voice smiled proudly, "At best, he is a warlord, but now the national righteousness comes first, and even the warlord must resist Japan under the leadership of the Standing Chairman." ”

"The pilots of the Navy are all overseas Chinese, and many of them are Americans, so isn't the United States a country?" Unconvinced, the voice retorted.

"Don't roll around! Obviously talking about the navy, why did it go to the side of the Americans again? ”

"Who's rolling? I said that the navy is not a country. Army, you have to get out of the Standing Committee's side......"

There were a lot of people on the hillside, and after waiting for a long time without seeing a plane, some students began to argue over trivial matters, but no matter how violent the argument was, it would stop - one student stood up suddenly, and he pointed to the west of Kunming City, "What a big plane!" ”

The west of Kunming is the naval airport, and it is a 314 water passenger aircraft modified refueling aircraft that takes off, it takes off from the northernmost point of Dianchi Lake, because the nose is aimed at the southwest, and the destination is due north No. 2, so this northbound refueling plane goes around the small half of Kunming City, under its huge wings, the whole city people watch it rise higher and higher, and go north.

"And! One, no, it's two! "Another tanker and an AWACS aircraft also took off, although it is not beneficial to replenish fuel without ammunition, but Kunming Naval Airport does not have a hangar for Type 314 seaplanes, it can only fly in the direction of Ruili, and then take off for refueling when needed. The AWACS aircraft has not been made because of the computer of the Swiss Computer Research Laboratory, and there is only an ordinary pulse radar on it, and it is still being debugged.

The planes flew away one after another, but the sky was cloudless, but everyone could still feel a tight feeling of black clouds pressing down on the city. Sure enough, not long after the plane took off, there was another abnormality in the west of the city -- a string of fiery snakes flew into the sky, and then one after another dark clouds were blown up in the air. The dense firelight startled everyone, and no one expected that there were so many anti-aircraft guns outside Kunming, which seemed to be more than the anti-aircraft guns accompanying the capital Chongqing.

"Good! The Japanese devil is dead this time! Someone raised his fist and raised his arms and shouted, which immediately won a round of applause.

"The big knife slashes at the heads of the devils! Compatriots armed all over the country, the day of the Anti-Japanese War has come......" Someone sang a big knife and cut off the devil's head, and for a time the mountains echoed up and down, and the suburbs that sheltered the students were full of passionate singing. After singing, everyone laughed again, the earlier argument was forgotten, and all that remained was the expectation that the air battle would come quickly, but the waiting time was difficult, and for a long hour no our planes took off, nor did they see enemy planes attacking, and the restless students began to work on other things.

"Eh......, do you want peanuts?" Looking at a group of female classmates sitting on the ground, Wang Shouwu from the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering plucked up the courage to start with 'eh'. When he asked the girls, the girls burst out laughing, much to his embarrassment. The girl chattered for a while, and a girl with short hair said loudly, "You threw it." ”

"Ahh Wang Shouwu's face turned red, and he squirmed before he ran over - he thought they were saying, 'You're coming.' ’

"Haha......" Seeing Wang Shouwu running over, the girls were smiling and leaning forwards and leaning back, and several people went to push the short-haired girl who was talking, and when Wang Shouwu walked in, they all lowered their heads and didn't look at him.

"What are you laughing at? I really don't understand you, didn't you say you were hungry just now, and the male classmates were kind enough to send peanuts over, what's so funny? Sang Lanhua looked upright, and after teaching the classmates around him, he said to Wang Shouwu: "Thank you, classmate." ”

"No thanks, no thanks." Wang Shouwu handed over all the peanuts in his bag, but the short-haired female classmate ignored him after saying thank you. He didn't stand or sit, so he had to leave in a huff, and as soon as he left, the girls laughed again. However, for the bag of peanuts, at first they were reserved and did not eat them, but it was almost noon, and the alarm was lifted at some point, and they also ate it when they saw that Sang Lanhua was eating fragrantly, and finally saw that there were not many peanuts left, so they chattered and grabbed while laughing.

"Did you ask for a name?" Zhuang Liting looked at Wang Shouwu who had retreated, and his eyes were also staring at those girls. He didn't look at the girls, he looked at the bag of peanuts, this was the lunch of him, Wang Shouwu, and his junior brother Wu Jikang, and when he left school, he expected that he would not be able to eat lunch and deliberately brought peanuts.

"Nope." Wang Shouwu took off his glasses, he was in poor health and studied at home in elementary school, and he was silent. He liked the girl with the long hair and melon seed face, but he didn't ask for anyone's name in the past.

"It's stupid." Zhuang Liting said angrily, and Wu Jikang, the junior brother on the side, said: "I knew I was going." ”

"Look! Took off. Took off. Wang Shouwu was about to say something in annoyance, and another classmate shouted, he put on his eyes and looked in the direction pointed by everyone, west of Kunming City, one after another blue naval planes were taking off. As if marching in formation, the planes that took off first flew in a clockwise direction around the city of Kunming, and the planes that took off later also joined the air array in this direction. The take-off speed of the plane is very fast, about ten seconds there will be a plane rushed into the sky to join the circling array, after the sixteen planes are full, the whole array suddenly expands the circling radius, flying around the city of Kunming again.

The planes lining up in the sky are very beautiful, and the most rare thing is that the whole process is smooth and unhindered. Just when everyone thought that these sixteen planes were all the planes of the Navy in Kunming. Another plane rose into the sky, circling around the city at the position of the sixteen planes just now, one was hovering in the air, and then there was a second and a third ......, this time there were too many planes to count, but fortunately, their array was very neat, as long as the head was not dizzy, a little count knew that it was thirty-six.

The thirty-six planes circling in a small circle and the sixteen planes circling in a large circle flew eastward together, and as they flew, they converged. There are too many planes, although the altitude of the group is not low, but the people on the ground still feel that the sound of the engine is deafening, only waiting for the group to fly farther and farther east, higher and higher, until the back is invisible, the rumbling sound disappears, only the sun is basking on the green grass and the white woody flowers in the high places.

"How much time did they take?" At the top of the hill, Chennault looked at Billy McDonald, who had timed him from the first plane, in order to learn everything about the Naval Air Corps.

"Oh God!" MacDonald looked at his pocket watch and shouted to God, although he knew that the time was short, but he didn't expect it to be so short.

"How much?" Chennault's leather boots stepped on the grass, and he suddenly felt a little jealous of Owen, because the Navy pilots were so good.

"From the first plane to the completion of the formation, fifty-two planes took a total of fifteen minutes and forty-eight seconds." MacDonald read the time, "It's the equivalent of a little over eighteen seconds for each plane to take off." Claire, this is unbelievable! I don't think even we would be able to take off so quickly and assemble so quickly to complete the formation. ”

"Yes, excellent." With the facts in front of him, Chennault had to nod, he simply found a clean stone and sat down, and said, "But they are the navy." As far as I know, the naval air force is different from the army air force, they pay a lot of attention to the speed of take-off and landing, because the enemy can appear at any time, and the airfield - no, it should be an aircraft carrier - they have to empty the deck at any time to ensure that the plane lands or takes off. ”

"But it's still very impressive." MacDonald was still lamenting the fact that the Navy planes were taking off, circling, and forming in a fluid manner, and the scene was still lingering before his eyes. "The Japanese are going to be out of luck." He said flatly.

But he didn't say this sentence long before he wanted to take it back -- in the telescope, some black spots appeared in the sky east of Kunming City, and just when he thought that this was the naval plane that had left before, those black spots became clearer and clearer, not the navy's blue camouflage single-engine plane, but the Japanese dark blue bombers on both sides. As before, they were in a team of three and a team of three, forming a tight formation. The formation of Japanese bombers did not surprise MacDonald, he was surprised by the number of Japanese, the huge number of Japanese bombers was like a dark cloud slowly drifting from the sky, and the red sun under the wings was extremely dazzling.

"At least a hundred!" Chennault was the first to give the number, but was quick to correct: "At least one hundred and fifty." ”

The telescope could see farther, and when the dark clouds of Japanese bombers approached, the people who had just applauded the naval planes suddenly panicked, and many people wanted to run down the mountain and hide in the air raid trenches, but they did not stand firm and rolled down the hill because they were in a hurry; Others wanted to hide under a tree, but they didn't feel safe standing under a tree, so they ran to another place to hide, scurrying around like a fly. The shouts, exclamations, and the cries of children resounded throughout the hillside for a while.

"Classmate, come here, it's too late to go down the mountain." Wang Shouwu, who has been despised by his classmates for a long time, finally got a second chance to talk, he is just introverted and not stupid, and the approaching Japanese opportunity is a good opportunity.

There are many naval planes, but I didn't expect that there were more Japanese planes, and it was too late to go to the air raid trenches under the slope. Under the leadership of Wang Shouwu, they hid in the place where the woody flowers bloomed the most luxuriantly. Even so, the girls were clasping hands next to each other, not daring to speak while listening to the rumbling engine.

"Don't worry, the navy has a secret weapon, and it will definitely be able to defeat the Japanese." The Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering has a great relationship with the navy, Wang Shouwu has heard some rumors, so he comforted him, but none of the girls spoke, and only a few people looked at the sky from the gap in the woody flowers.

"Airplanes! Aircraft of the Navy! Wu Jikang jumped up, he kept looking at the sky and wondered how the navy was fighting the Japanese, and now he finally saw it -- above the blue sky, another group of planes appeared above the dark blue Japanese planes, and it was the blue of the navy. The distance between the two clusters was so close that the Japanese planes spat out fiery snakes. When the Japanese planes fired, the blue group above began to throw some black things, Wu Jikang didn't know what it was, but Chennault, who was holding a telescope, could see it clearly.

"God, that's a clever attention." Chennault, who was staring at the sky, exclaimed sincerely.

"Does this work?" Frank Hagus, also looking through a telescope, could see clearly that the bombs were being dropped by the Navy planes. It's a brilliant idea to counter bombing with bombing. Just as he questioned whether this worked, the Japanese bombers in the formation exploded one after another, and he estimated that at least twenty Japanese bombers would be killed in this wave.

"It's not enough." Chennault also witnessed the results of the Navy, but for a bomber group of more than a hundred and fifty aircraft, it was not a big loss. Maybe it was just a pre-dinner aperitif, he thought.

The explosion in the air attracted everyone's attention, seeing that it was the dark blue Japanese plane and then falling down, the originally panicked crowd broke out into cheers again, someone to protect people can always make people cry with joy, they finally stopped panicking, more and more people looked up at the sky, paying attention to this rare aerial battle.
