Yangon Railway Station.

Four military trains had already stopped and entered the station, and the officers and men and equipment of the Guards Division were nervously boarding.

Suddenly, a group of heavily armed military police officers poured into Platform 1 with neat steps, and immediately filled all corners of the platform like javelins, and after a few minutes, Takuma Nishimura, commander of the Guards Division, walked out of the station building accompanied by Shojiro Iida, commander of the 15th Army Corps.

"Iida-kun, let's send it here." Nishimura Takuma suddenly retracted his feet, saluted Iida Shojiro, and immediately turned around and boarded the special train.

Iida Shojiro waved his hand silently and watched Nishimura Takuma's special train slowly drive away.

I don't know how long it took, but Haruki Isayama suddenly walked behind Shojiro Iida, and immediately retracted his feet and said, "Your Excellency Commander, the naval detachment led by Abe Hiroki has arrived at Yangon Harbor. ”

When Iida Shojiro heard this, Huo Ran turned around, and immediately couldn't help but say happily: "Yo Xi, Isayama-kun, prepare the car immediately, I will personally go to the port to welcome the arrival of the naval officers and soldiers." ”

"Hello." Haruki Isayama bowed his head suddenly, and immediately walked away with his knife.

………… Myitkyina, Flight Base Building.

In order to better support the Burma battlefield, Major General Chennault, commander of the 14th Air Force (Flying Tigers), has moved his headquarters from Kunming's Wujiaba airfield to Myitkyina airfield, where Maj. Gen. Chennault is convening officers from his two flying groups and eight flying squadrons for an operational meeting.

"I have the exciting news that tomorrow morning, another 30 wild horses will arrive in Myitkyina, and our 14th Air Force will have another squadron of wild horses!" Chennault's face was as ugly as ever in the eyes of the American officers, but what he said made the American officers cheer.

The Mustang that Chennault is talking about is not a horse galloping on the prairie, but a P-51 Mustang fighter soaring in the sky!

The P-51 Mustang was designed, built and flown in just 100 days, which is unique in the history of world aviation, but anyone would be wrong to think that this fighter is a shoddy product.

Historically, the P-51 Mustang fighter is the king of fighters in World War II, even the early P-51A fighter, but also showed the strength of the "ME-109 fighter", which is not inferior to the Luftwaffe's ace main force, and when the P-51B fighter came out, it was no suspense to overwhelm the ME-109 fighter to seize air supremacy in the European theater.

As for the Zero fighter of the Yue Army, it is simply a target in front of the P-51 Mustang fighter.

The reason why the Flying Tigers in history were able to achieve impressive air combat results on the Chinese battlefield was because of Chennault's aerial wolf pack tactics, and secondly, because of the P-51 Mustang fighters that were heavily equipped in the later period!

The World War II in this world has become unrecognizable because of Yue Weihan's crossing.

In particular, Stilwell's latest report to the US Department of Defense on the situation in Burma directly prompted General Marshall, chief of the US General Staff, to make up his mind to deliver at least 200 P-51 Mustang fighters to the 14th Air Force within six months.

So far, the US Logistics Department has delivered 60 P-51 Mustang fighters to the 14th Air Force and organized them into 2 flight squadrons, so far, the 14th Air Force has been organized into 8 flight squadrons, and all of them are fighter squadrons, with a total of more than 200 P-47 or P-51 fighters.

At this time, the 3rd and 5th Flight Groups of the Southern Army had a total of more than 600 fighters of various types, but there were only more than 200 fighters for air superiority.

This is exactly what Yue Weihan is looking forward to, don't look at the current advantage of the 14th Air Force over the military air force, but soon, the balance of strength between the two sides will tilt sharply in favor of the 14th Air Force.

Because, Yue Weihan has already carefully constructed an insidious trap in Mandalay!

In the conference room, Chennault pointed to the tactical board and continued: "According to reliable intelligence, the Southern Army Command is secretly planning a huge air raid plan! ”

"The whole plan is divided into two parts."

"The first part is to send a huge group of fighters to the skies over Mandalay to intercept and kill the group of transport planes of the 10th Air Force that are transporting troops and supplies to Mandalay, and in this way, lead the fighter group of our Flying Tigers to Mandalay and carry out a decisive battle in the air!"

"In the second part, a huge bomber group will be dispatched to bomb Myitkyina in northern Burma, Tingjiang in eastern India, Wujiaba in Kunming, and Baoshan airfield, so as to completely destroy the Allied air power and flight bases in China, India and Burma."

Before Chennault could finish speaking, the room was already stirring.

“**！ He said that he was so rampant, they didn't want to succeed! ”

"God, what idiot came up with this plan?"

"Ha, guys, there's work to be done again."

Chennault waved his hand, suppressed the officers' trolling, and then continued: "Since we have mastered the plan of action of the army in advance, it is very likely that we will inflict another heavy blow on the army air force!" Tomorrow, in order to lure the Japanese army into being fooled, the transport fleet of the 10th Air Force will continue to airlift ammunition supplies to Mandalay on a large scale, as it did yesterday! ”

As soon as the words fell, an officer shouted: "Sir, are you going to use the transport aircraft group of the 10th Air Force as bait?" ”

"Hans, you're right!" Chennault coldly glanced at the US Air Force captain who suddenly got up, and then his ugly face became extremely fierce, and he said in a deep voice, "They are bait!" ”

"Sir, without our protection, the transport fleet of the 10th Air Force will be finished!"

"Yes, sir, those big guys are stupid and big, they can't fly high or run fast, and if they are discovered by their own fighters without our protection, they will die!"

Chennault gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Without sacrifice, there is no victory!" ”

"But sir...... "Another officer shouted," shouted another officer, "what are we going to do to transport supplies to Chinese with the loss of these transport planes?" Without this air lifeline, the Chinese will be finished! ”

"The Chinese will not be finished!" Chennault said in a deep voice, "As long as we can win this air battle, and the Chinese Expeditionary Force on the ground can also win the Battle of Mandalay, then this air corridor over Burma will lose its value, because at that time, the Yunnan-Burma Highway has already been re-opened!" ”

"Alright, sir, one last question." Hans, who was initially skeptical, asked, "Your 'early warning system' lets us know when my bomber group is leaving the airfield, but the question is, how do you pinpoint their flight path?" If we cannot accurately locate the flight path of the bomber group, it will be difficult for us to carry out effective interception. ”

In order not to make them suspicious, when the fighter group of the Southern Army takes off from the Yangon airport, the fighter group of the 14th Air Force must also take off from each airfield at the same time, but in this way, the problem arises, and it will be difficult for the fighter group of the 14th Air Force to find the bomber group of the Japanese Army after it takes off.

Because the fighter group of the 14th Air Force could not hover and wait near the airfield, otherwise it would be discovered by the military agents.

In addition, if the fighter group of the 14th Air Force had been waiting near the airport, even if they had really caught the bomber group of the Japanese army, by the time they had finished packing up the bombers of the Japanese army and rushed to Mandalay, they were afraid that the transport group of the 10th Air Force would have been finished long ago, and the fighter group of the 10th Air Force would have returned to the sea long ago!

Air battles are always quick battles and battles, and they never last long.

Therefore, the 14th Air Force could only intercept the bomber group of the Japanese army halfway.

However, the sky is so vast that it would be whimsical to use the pilot's eyesight to spot enemy fighters in the absence of effective means of detection!

The room fell silent, and all the officers fell silent.

"Hans, your fears are justified." Chennault pursed his lips and said indifferently, "However, someone has thought about this problem for a long time, and we have found a solution, do you remember the two 'strange' British transport planes that flew to Myitkyina airport just two days ago?" Now, I can tell you the truth, it was not an ordinary transport plane, but a British 'AWACS aircraft' that flew urgently to Burma to help in the war, with an airborne radar installed on it! ”

"God, airborne radar?" Hans exclaimed, "Who came up with this plan?" ”

Putting radar on airplanes was cutting-edge technology at the time, and the Americans were even experimenting with it.

"Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, Yue Weihan." Chennault said, a strange color suddenly appeared in his eyes.

In Chennault's view, Yue Weihan is definitely an outlier among many [***] senior generals, and other [***] senior generals are always submissive in front of Chairman Chiang, but Yue Weihan doesn't take Chairman Chiang's orders seriously at all, and what is even more incredible is that Yue Weihan actually understands the most cutting-edge military technology, such as airborne radar! Can you learn radar knowledge at the Whampoa Military Academy?

………… The next morning, Yangon.

Haruki Isayama walked into Shojiro Iida's office in a hurry, and suddenly retracted his feet and said: "Your Excellency, commander, according to the information obtained by the intelligence organs, the US Air Force transport plane group has returned from Kunming Wujiaba Airport and Baoshan Airport, and in about 20 minutes, the first batch of 20 transport planes will land at Mandalay Airport. ”

"Yo Si." Shojiro Iida slammed his fist on the table and said in a cruel voice, "Order, all fighter teams belonging to the 3rd and 5th Flight Groups will immediately rise into the air, and the target is Mandalay!" ”

"Hello." Haruki Isayama bowed his head suddenly, and immediately took the order away.

………… Myitkyina, 14th Air Force Base Building.

The beautiful female secretary walked into Chennault's office with a folder, twisted her waist, and shook her beautiful blonde hair, and immediately reported in a coquettish voice: "Sir, the 'Early Warning Team No. 5' is urgent, about 200 military fighters are divided into 4 batches, and they have taken off from Yangon Airport, flying due north, and the target is suspected to be Mandalay. ”

“ok！” Chennault snapped his fingers, threw an ambiguous look at the beautiful female secretary, and immediately grabbed the telephone on the table, and ordered calmly, "Flight control center?" Urgently contact Eagle's Nest No. 1 and Eagle's Nest No. 2, let them fly to the target airspace immediately, and then order the "Lightning" and "Mustang" squadrons to take off immediately! ”

………… Yangon, known as the army headquarters.

Haruki Isayama walked into Shojiro Iida's office again and reported: "Your Excellency, more than 200 fighters of the 14th Air Force of the United States Air Force have taken off from Myitkyina, Kunming, Wujiaba, and Baoshan airfields in northern Burma, and apparently, the American agents lurking near Yangon have reported the news to Chennault. ”

"Yo Si." Shojiro Iida said happily, "That's exactly what we want to see." ”

"Hello." Haruki Isayama suddenly bowed his head and said in a cruel voice, "Only by transferring the fighter group of the 14th Air Force away from the airfield, can the bomber group of the Imperial Army have a chance to succeed in a sneak attack, as long as Myitkyina, Tingjiang, Wujiaba and Baoshan airfields are destroyed, the 14th Air Force on the Burma battlefield will cease to exist." ”

"Command!" Shojiro Iida slapped the case heavily and said, "All bomber teams, take off immediately!" ”

………… Over Myanmar, the clouds are light and the wind is light.

Captain Hans piloted a new P-51 Mustang fighter jet, and while searching the surrounding airspace in a bored manner, he called out in the communication channel: "Mustang 1, I am Mustang 1, call Eagle's Nest 1, Eagle's Nest 1 please answer, hear please answer......"

"Roger." A muffled voice came from the intercom, "No enemy aircraft found, no enemy aircraft found." ”

“**！” Captain Hans cursed softly, and then suddenly pulled the longitudinal pole, and the wild horse under the crotch suddenly climbed upward, just when Captain Hans was about to climb up and observe at a high altitude, the excited voice of Eagle's Nest No. 1 suddenly came from the walkie-talkie: "Found enemy bomber group, coordinates xxx, yyy, height 8060 feet!" ”

Soon, the Eagle's Nest No. 1 repeated it on the walkie-talkie, and Captain Hans quickly stabilized his flight attitude, and then switched the communication frequency to the dialogue channel of the Mustang squadron he led, and immediately shouted excitedly: "Guys, the eagle has found a chicken, coordinates xxx, yyy, height 8060 feet!" ”

“**！ The little devil is finally here! ”

"Haha, I can't wait to taste the taste of American hanging!"

"Guys, I'm going to blast these Oriental girls' chrysanthemums, all the chrysanthemums!"
