At this moment, something happened suddenly. Six planes with shark patterns painted on the nose suddenly appeared in the clouds above, and they were P40 fighter formations!

This frightened the Japanese pilots, who could not care about a duel with Wesker, and hurriedly pulled the operating stick and turned around and fled.

Six P40s swooped down and clamped up from two angles, giving him no chance to escape.

"Oo......oo

The dense bullets completely blocked all its flight paths, and the Japanese pilots had no way to hide, and the Japanese fighter plane, which had just been on its toes, turned into a fireball in the blink of an eye.

Wesker looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know who led this formation, he was also full of gratitude. It's just a pity that they would have arrived sooner...

"Hey! Brother, are you okay? A familiar voice came over the intercom.

"Jamie?" Wesker asked incredulously.

"Wesker? Thank God you're alive, what about the rest of the bombing group? ”

Jamie hurriedly asked, he took off from Kunming Airport half an hour ago, and received information that the Japanese fighters had taken off to fight, so he ordered him to lead a team to Tengchong to reconnoiter the enemy's situation.

But he knew that the Nantianmen area was in the midst of a battle, and the enemy planes that took off from Tengchong must be targeting here, so Jamie simply changed course and flew directly to Chanda to see if he could help Liao Mingyu.

Sure enough, as soon as they flew near Chanda, they found the scene of the battle, but unfortunately they were still late.

"I'm the only one left in the escort formation, and Kevin is also ......" Wesker said with difficulty: "Anderson's B17 has been entangled by enemy aircraft, they are in the southeast direction, you guys go and support!" ”

"Understood, Wesker, you go back first, and we'll take care of the rest!"

Jamie was saddened to hear the news, but now was not the time to be sad, there were more important things waiting for him to do.

……

Rushing to the cab, Cooper tied Anderson's severed arm with a tourniquet, who was pale and not in good condition, and their crisis was not over.

The co-pilot was killed, Anderson was seriously injured, and Cooper had to get into the driver's seat, but fortunately he had been learning the art of flying and could barely maintain the stability of the plane with Anderson

The B17's fuselage was devastated, and one of the engines on the wing had stopped working, but fortunately important parts were not damaged, and the machine gunners in various positions were still fighting back, driving away the enemy planes from approaching.

But the cunning Japanese army had not given up, and the cold man rushed over to harass a wave, slowly encroaching little by little, waiting for the moment when this big guy fell with a bang, and their perseverance made the crew on the B17 feel terrified.

"I'm out of bullets here!"

The machine gunners on either side of the fuselage shouted loudly that the other machine gun positions were running out of ammunition except for it, and the long firing had exhausted the ammunition reserves on the B17.

The Japanese seemed to sense something, and just as they were about to launch a new attack, there was a sudden roar of planes passing through the air from behind them.

Four P40 fighters swooped down from high altitude at high speed, aiming at the four Hayabusa below to strafe the shot.

In the face of the extremely fast enemy, the Japanese fighters could only react passively in panic, but they still underestimated the horror of the extremely fast P40.

Two Hayabusa fighters were blown up on the spot, and the other was hit by the propeller, the plane had no power source, dragging black smoke straight down, and the Japanese pilot hurriedly parachuted away.

“Good job！”

"Kill these bastards!"

"Phew!"

The crew in the B17 couldn't help but let go and screamed, they had been ravaged by enemy planes for so long, and now they watched their companions slaughter the enemy with great might, and a sense of pleasure arose.

There was also a Hayabusa that dodged this wave of attacks, but the four P40s behind him did not pursue, but quickly pulled upwards, and the other two P40s left behind dived down again, relying on the super high dive speed and firepower to break this Hayabusa to pieces.

Although the maneuverability and climb rate of the P40 fighter are far from those of the Falcon fighter, it also has the advantages of strong firepower and excellent dive performance, and more importantly, many parts of the fuselage are armored, and its resistance to attack is far superior to that of the Falcon fighter.

In general, this fighter and the Japanese Hayabusa fighter have their own merits, and neither has an overwhelming advantage. The reason why the Flying Tigers were able to achieve proud results was due to the air guerrilla tactics proposed by General Chennault.

Taking advantage of the P40's fast dive speed, it can hit and run from a high-altitude dive attack, never engage in horizontal combat with the Japanese army, and complete as many complex formation flights as possible, so as to destroy an enemy aircraft with multiple aircraft in air combat.

The core of the tactic is to dive and fire at high speed, then fly away and then make a second dive and fire. Fighting and dodging must not stay within the range of Japanese fighters.

It is such a rather scoundrel tactic, but it has not caused the Japanese army to have a temper, there is an old saying that it is not good, no matter whether the black cat or the white cat catches the mouse, it is a good cat.

"This is Jamie of the Ninth Squadron. Captain Brian, how are you doing? ”

Jamie turned the walkie-talkie channel to the corresponding band and questioned the B17 crew members, while the six P40 fighters flew with them at the same altitude.

"God forbid, thank you for your support, we have suffered many casualties, we have to return immediately, please escort us." Cooper immediately responded that Anderson had lost so much blood that he couldn't hold it anymore and had to go back to the base for treatment immediately.

"Understood, Sean, your formation will escort them, and the rest will follow me to Nantianmen!"

Jamie hurriedly made arrangements, and the six fighters flew in two directions.

……

Time went back to more than 10 minutes ago, just after the Japanese ground attack planes dropped several aerial bombs, several huge openings appeared in the forward position of Banshan Rock.

The 1st Regiment of the Yu Division suffered heavy casualties, and 4 to 500 people were killed under the double blow of enemy bombs and machine guns, and even Zhang Lixian was wounded and sent to the rear.

The planes in the sky were still circling and diving, mercilessly strafing the soldiers on the position with machine guns, and the Japanese took advantage of this opportunity to charge forward frantically, trying to take down the half-mountain rocks in one fell swoop.

"! Little devils and planes? ”

Liao Mingyu and Yu Xiaoqing were stunned in the binoculars, no one expected that the Japanese army would also have aircraft reinforcements, and the Sichuan-Yu coalition army, which also lacked air defense, could not resist the fight.

Although there were quite a few antiaircraft machine guns on the east coast, there was no way to deal with the enemy planes far over the west coast in terms of range, and the distance was too far to exceed the firing range, so we could only watch and do things in a hurry.

And now the little devils are too close to their own fighters, and the heavy artillery does not dare to fire there at all.

"Signal Soldier! Contact Chen Jize immediately, the mid-mountain stone can't be lost now, you must keep it for me! Liao Mingyu frowned and said sharply.

"Yes!"

The entire defense line was precarious, but fortunately, Hongmu commanded the remnants to resist the enemy bravely, and the soldiers fought on the front line at the cost of their lives, leaving the Japanese dead outside the position, while waiting for the rear reinforcements to come up.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"

The 60-mm mortars in the rear began to fire, and the mortar shells exploded a column of smoke and dust in the search for the devil's attacking team, relying on fire suppression to make the Japanese charging team attack fault.

"Lao Hong! Get out of the way! Fan Laosan's loud voice sounded behind him.

At this moment, He Shuguang led a regiment and three battalions, and Fan Xiangwu also rushed to the frontline position with two companies of the third battalion.

Hong Mu immediately decided not to continue the entanglement, and ordered the remaining remnants to retreat back immediately, leaving room for the supporting troops to shoot.

"Bang bang!"

"Bang bang! Bang! Bang bang! Bang"

……

As soon as Hong Mu and the people withdrew with their front feet, the Japanese soldiers jumped into the position with their hind feet, and before they could cheer, they were greeted by a dense row of bullets. In front of the powerful Sichuan Army, countless Japanese soldiers fell in pieces.

"Brothers, follow me to drive the devil out! Kill! ”

Fan Xiangwu shouted loudly, and after speaking, he was the first to rush forward with his gun, and the soldiers were not to be outdone, and followed his pace to launch a counter-charge against the Japanese.
