Chapter 321: Challenge
Xie Tian led Tie Dan and Guo Qiang to fly back to Taiyuan Caizhuang Airport to replenish fuel and ammunition, Guo Qiang is a new pilot, and pilots like Guo Qiang Xie Tian has also trained more than a dozen.
Sansheng is more stable than Tiedan, and was assigned by Xie Tian to fly the B-17 bomber as the captain, and also equipped him with a co-pilot who flies horizontally.
Sansheng became the captain of this bomber that required ten people to operate, and he was so envious that his eyes were green, and he muttered in front of Xie Tian for several days, but he was beaten and ran to Tang Hao'er to complain.
The planes were replenishing, and the bomber formation that went to Jingcheng to fight had not yet returned, so Xie Tian walked quickly into the radio war room of the airport and personally sent a telegram to the Jingcheng front line to inquire.
Xie Tian had not yet received a call back from the 51st Army, and Sansheng had already appeared over the airport with his bomber formation, requesting a landing from the tower.
The bomber formation led by Sansheng is much more aura than the formation composed of three Zero fighters, a B-17 bomber, and six P-40 fighters piloted by the Flying Tigers to escort the team.
The Flying Tigers' flight group stationed in the 10th Theater is a total of nine P-40 fighters, and every three of them are organized into a flying squadron.
In other words, Xie Tian is really good to the twenty-seven foreign buddies sent by the Flying Tigers, except for what the women want, no matter what the purpose of these foreign buddies is to fight in China, they must always make people feel worthwhile, after all, these foreign buddies are here for their lives, Xie Tian directly treated them as mercenaries, and even gave a clear price for every mission.
If you fucking can knock out the Japanese emperor for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu can give you a big gold brick that you can't spend in eight lifetimes, it depends on whether you have the life to earn this money.
Seeing through the window that the bomber formation flew back intact, Xie Tianyi got up and took off his headphones and handed them to the telegraph operator on the side and ordered: "Jing Cheng call back and bring it to me directly." ”
Anyway, thank God walked out of the radio war room and walked to the runway to personally greet the bomber formation flying back.
Not only Xie Tian, but also those Flying Tiger team members who did not go out of the task also ran out of the dormitory to greet them, and the Flying Tiger team members saw Xie Tian also coming over, and immediately surrounded Xie Tian with a spirit and almost flirted and scolded.
Big financier, this boss pays the most attention to benefits, and he is right on the minds of this group of American buddies, and in their eyes, Xie Tian is much better than those vain bureaucrats in Chongqing.
While laughing, the bomber formations landed one after another, and Sansheng trotted over and saluted Xie Tianlizheng: "Report to the commander-in-chief, we are back." ”
Xie Tian nodded and said, "Tell me about the battle situation in Jingcheng." ”
"Yes", Mitsuyo Limasa said: "From my point of view, there were no large-scale battles in Jingcheng, most of them were sporadic battles on the company scale, but it was like fighting sparrow warfare and harassment warfare, and the Japanese army did not take the initiative to attack. Fortunately, we only carried ordinary aerial bombs according to the commander-in-chief's orders, otherwise we would not have been able to drop bombs. After communicating with Commander Li of the 301st Division, we bombed two Japanese strongholds on the outskirts of Jingcheng. ”
Xie Tian asked, "Does the devil's 22nd Air Brigade support Jing Cheng?" ”
Sansheng shook his head: "I didn't meet it." ”
Xie Tian nodded, glanced at the telegraph operator who ran over and patted Sansheng on the shoulder: "Hurry up and overhaul the plane, let's just your bomber, you have to fly a few more times, and tell the crew that everyone will work harder." ”
Sansheng answered loudly, and saw Xie Tian reach out to take the telegram from the telegraph operator without other instructions, saluted and turned around and trotted back to the plane.
Now this guy almost moved the bunk to the B-17, and he sticks to this baby plane almost all day except for and sleep, and if anyone accidentally bumps on the plane, this buddy's eyes can kill you.
Xie Tian frowned slightly after reading the telegram, folded the telegram and put it in his pocket and said to the Flying Tiger members beside him: "Everyone has no combat mission today, let's go to the city and relax." ”
The members of the Flying Tiger team roared, entering the city to relax means that you can drink and dance and find women, there are still some entertainment places in Taiyuan City, there are Yan Xishan period, there are also Japanese occupation period, there will always be some courtesans mixed in these places.
Xie Tian turned around and saw Hu Zhiyong behind the crowd, and ordered, "Let's go back to the Ocean Tower." ”
The situation of the battle in Jingcheng did not develop according to the best situation preset by Xie Tian, and I am afraid that this battle will be a slimy and protracted battle again.
Seeing that Xie Tian was leaving, Richard, the captain of the Tenth War Zone of the Flying Tigers, hurriedly grabbed Xie Tian's arm and said with a smile: "Xie, the simulated bomb has been delivered today, you said that you will play with me when you are free, anyway, there is no combat mission today, why don't we play today?" ”
This Richard challenged Xie Tian at the welcome dinner held on the first day of his arrival in Taiyuan, and I don't know what kind of mentality this guy has, even if you defeat Xie Tian in the air battle, can it appear that you are skilled in flying?
Maybe it was Xie Tian's brilliant record that stimulated this buddy, and he wanted to frustrate Xie Tian's prestige.
The arrogance of the Americans, they will only succumb to strength.
Thank God for making an excuse to drag it out, thinking that maybe after the cold treatment, this Richard will give up this boring idea by himself.
As a result, the day after Richard challenged Xie Tian, Iron Egg aggressively approached Richard and challenged him, and the two piloted the Zero and P-40 to fight in the air for half an hour, and Iron Egg lost.
Xie Tian didn't know about this, if he knew, he would probably have to beat the iron egg.
You fucking have nothing to do, you should be beaten if you win or lose, and you should be beaten even more if you lose.
It is important to know that the performance of the small Japanese Zero fighter is a cut above the P-40, especially in terms of speed and responsiveness.
The engine power of the Zero fighter is high, and the weak armor is the weakness, but due to the thin armor, the empty weight of the fuselage is only 1807 kg, which is much lighter than the P-40 fighter with an empty weight of 2636 kg, and the speed and sensitivity naturally have an advantage.
As a result, this product still loses?
Hearing that Richard challenged Xie Tian again, the Flying Tiger team members who didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement started to coax one after another, and Tie Dan Sansheng and others also ran over, eager for Xie Tian to beat this Richard hard.
Thank you that these pilots spend more time with the Flying Tigers, and they naturally know each other better after getting along for a long time, these guys have long looked at Richard, the captain of the Flying Tigers' 10th Theater Flight Group, and they are not pleasing to the eye, this guy is too blind, in short, it is all kinds of bars, and he almost regards himself as the god who saves China.
