At 9 o'clock in the morning, when a ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on the earth, the hazy scenery around gradually became clear, and the fog finally dissipated under the gentle breeze.

Piercing sirens sounded over the airfield, mechanics made a final check of the fighters, ammunition, engines, propellers... Because you can't go wrong in every step. Countless ground crews dragged the fighters out of the hangar like hardworking ants, guiding them in formation and waiting for takeoff.

Jamie put on his flight cap and goggles and boarded the ladder to board the plane, and as he sat in the cockpit, he was about to check the equipment, only to see a B17 bomber with the NO:101 number taxiing down the runway.

The huge fuselage shimmered with metal in the sunlight, and the machine guns on the exposed round turret exuded a murderous aura, like a thorny fortress in the air.

"Hey Jamie, Willis, they're so fast," the other pilot on the wingman next to him greeted him.

"Today's mission is not easy, come on, don't let them steal the limelight." The corners of Jamie's mouth lifted, and with the help of the mechanic, he pulled the canopy shut shut.

Buzz Buzz!!

The huge roar of the engines resounded in the sky, and one fighter plane after another began to slowly rise into the air, and they completed the formation arrangement in the air, with three air fortresses as the core, forming a huge bombing formation, and galloping towards the sky over Ringanqiang.

At the same time, the 20th Air Force on the Indochinese side was also in action, nine B26 bombers took off from Imphal and flew towards the Burma-Siam handover area in the southeast of Chan State, and there were also four squadrons of fighters escorting.

At this time, Chen Jize led the tank regiment and Fan Xiangwu's infantry regiment to arrive at the periphery of Nankan one step ahead, and the vanguard had already met the Japanese army.

The Honorable 3rd Division set out from Mandalay and marched south along the Irrawaddy River, a tributary of the Irrawaddy River, and southward along the South Burma Railway.

The objective of the whole army this time was very clear: to attack the strongholds and defensive lines of the Japanese army, annihilate its vital forces, and clear the way for the large army to move south.

……

High in the air, the crew of the B17 Flying Fortress No. 1 is doing the final inspection of the regulations, this time the mission is low-altitude bombing, each of them carries 10 200 kg Kai high-explosive aerial bombs, which can use the sight to accurately drop bombs at an altitude of 500 meters, and the error is basically no more than 5 meters.

The explosive power of this aerial bomb is extremely strong, with a built-in high-efficiency TNT explosive, and the killing radius is about 50 meters.

The clouds in front of it gradually became denser, and the bomber formation quickly entered it, and because of the obstruction of the view, the flight formation had to raise the altitude and prepare to cross the clouds.

Nankan Airport is less than 400 kilometers away from Ren'anqiang in a straight line, and according to the flight speed of B17, it can reach the target position in one hour.

Wesker, who was in the driver's seat, held the joystick with one hand, picked up the map to check the current location, and immediately turned on the radio after confirming the correct coordinates, and said excitedly:

"All right, gentlemen, this is Fox Hunting One, and there are fifteen minutes to reach the destination, please prepare the crew. Repeat... There are still fifteen minutes to reach the destination, so please be ready. ”

"Zizi...... Fox Hunter II received, Wesker, no enemy has been found here, I dare say that the brothers of the escort formation are going to be busy in vain today..."The voice of the captain of another B17 came over the radio.

"Oh God... Hunter, your beak is as annoying as a woodpecker in the forest... Multiply... Multiply. ”

"Haha! Davis, remember the bet? If you can't shoot down a Japanese plane today, you're going to have to treat all of us to drink. ”

……

The calm atmosphere was relaxing, the radio channel seemed to be turned into a chatbot, and it was clear that they did not have the enemy in their eyes, and the operation was more of a drill and uninteresting.

Chris in the round turret under the belly of the machine put his hands on the machine gun, looking bored at the majestic clouds below, the gap between the glass windows constantly poured in the wind, and the whirring sound made people's eardrums hurt.

It was the most dangerous and boring job in the entire crew, with only a co-shooter and two twin linkage 12.7mm machine guns to keep him company, but the wind and engine noise made it impossible for them to chat.

Buzz!!

Suddenly, there was a whistling sound of fighters that did not belong to his own formation from below, and Chris was startled and hurriedly turned the direction of the turret to look around.

It's just that he looked around and didn't find anything unusual, but the piercing roar of the plane grew louder and louder from far to near, and the other crew members also noticed the problem.

"Whew... Multiply...... Wrong! There's something down there! ”

"Watch out!"

"Oh God! Spot enemy aircraft! Seven o'clock! ”

In an instant, more than a dozen black shadows suddenly drilled out of the clouds below, and the bullets swept upwards like a fire dragon, and a P40 twin-plane formation located below was instantly hit, and the fuselage was hit by bullets and emitted black smoke, and the tail of one of them was directly shattered, and the unbalanced fighter plane was planted to the ground like a broken-winged eagle.

It turned out that the cunning Japanese used the clouds as a cover, and followed the opponent from a distance to lurk in it, and when they adjusted their position and waited for the opportunity, they suddenly launched an attack from the flank, which immediately caused a trace of panic in the bomber formation.

“shit！ Mike's plane was shot! ”

"Damn it, help me! They're right behind my ass! ”

…

"Don't panic! Eagle Strike Squadron meets the enemy, Andrew, your squadron escorts the bombers well! Jamie gave the order decisively and at the same time flew his fighter plane towards the enemy.

"Hey! Jamie, why don't you do it with me? ”

Andrew, who was in the other direction, saw through the cockpit windshield and was clearly a little nervous.

At this moment, the nearest escort squadron has begun to fight with the Japanese army, the opponent is twelve Hayabusa fighters, although they used the sneak attack to knock out two of their own aircraft, but the other side does not have an advantage in the overall number.

“no！ Do what you have to do! Jamie flatly refused.

He has always been the supreme commander when carrying out field missions, and Andrew has to obey orders.

Now that the situation is not clear, it is very suspicious that the enemy will dare to come over with a dozen fighters, and the calm Jamie did not order the whole pursuit, but left Andrew's squadron to accompany the bombers in case of emergency.

The three B17s immediately climbed up and away from the battlefield, and the machine gunners on the fuselage turret did not dare to breathe, and they were ready to pay attention to the surrounding situation.
