After hard work and ensuring that he would not take the initiative to attack Japanese targets, General Bissel agreed to Ron's request.

"It's getting late now, go back and have a good rest. I'll give you a flight tomorrow morning!" Bisel held Ron's hand and said with a smile.

"This guy is pretty good." Ron thought after returning to the dormitory and lying on the camp bed. However, the next morning, Ron was dumbfounded.

Four Mustangs have been placed beside the runway, and several mechanics are busy around one Mustang.

"Sir, according to General Bissel's order, we are modifying your landline." An officer staying aside saw Ron's questioning look and took the initiative to report to him.

"What are you changing?" Ron looked at the mechanics with puzzled eyes, "Why did you remove all the cannons!"

"Sir, the general said that you are going for reconnaissance and do not need aerial cannons. If you remove these, your plane will fly faster and be safer." A greasy-faced mechanic replied with a smile.

"Holy shit!" Ron almost fainted. He really didn't expect General Bisel to play such a trick on him. But Ron was relieved quickly. He was not a fighting madman like Patton.

Although he did not avoid fighting, he could not say he loved it very much. In addition, he originally only planned to take a look at the sky above Myitkyina, and had no intention of attacking immediately. (Of course, if he could pick up two heads and take them back,

It’s also a good thing.)

The mechanics quickly unloaded the cannon and shells from Ron's plane, and then attached an extra-large auxiliary fuel tank to it very quickly. Just as the sun climbed over the ridge in front, illuminating the runway.

When it turns golden and red, everything is ready.

Six P-51 Mustangs took off from the runway one after another. They circled around the airport and climbed to an altitude of 1,500 meters. Then they headed east, climbing and flying straight over.

The hump route is an extremely difficult route for transport aircraft. As mentioned before, the bulky C-47 transport aircraft cannot fly high and can only risk its way through the valley. However, it is relatively easy for fighter jets to fly this route.

A lot more. Fighters don’t have too much load and can climb to very high altitudes. Although the initial model of Mustang does not have a supercharger and its high-altitude performance is poor, it is not difficult to climb 8,000-9,000 meters as long as you climb slowly.

of.

So at this moment, Ron led the wild horses at an altitude of about 7,500 meters, slowly crossing one mountain after another that made transport pilots frightened. Ron looked down from the air and saw the sun shining silver on the snow-capped mountains.

It's very dazzling. The mist in the valley is steaming and bottomless. Sometimes a sudden strong wind will blow away the fog in the valley, and the strong sunlight shines directly into the valley bottom. At this time, Ron can see at the bottom of the valley,

Something is shining in the sun - the remains of a transport plane that crashed on this route.

I don’t know how long it took, but the mountains gradually disappeared from the six o’clock direction. Under Ron’s wing, there was now a tropical rainforest that could not be seen to the edge. This primitive jungle has existed here for who knows how many years. Maybe

In the past, saber-toothed tigers also hunted here. The jungle today is not much different from thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago. The only difference is that this area looks like a large green carpet from the air.

Many unknown warriors have fallen in the jungle.

After the failure of the Tonggu Battle, the National Revolutionary Army expeditionary force had to retreat through this primitive jungle. Along the way, due to lack of supplies (neither food nor safe drinking water), countless soldiers fell in this vast wilderness.

In the jungle.

However, the jungle is neutral. Not long after (March 1944), a Japanese specialty idiot general named Mutaguchi Ren drove his army across the jungle to attack India. As a result, on the way there,

, a group of Japanese people were left behind by the hospitable jungle, and then a group were left behind by the British defenders who were waiting for work. The remaining Japanese troops had to return through the jungle again, and as a result, a large number were left behind by the jungle.

Since there is already a plain below, Ron and his fleet dropped the altitude to 6,000 meters. If it is higher than this altitude, the aircraft will leave a long white track when flying, which will expose the target;

If it is too low, it may be sneak-attacked by enemy aircraft at a higher position. (You know, in World War II, half of the pilots had no idea who was attacking them when they were shot down.)

The Japanese only have some old-fashioned Ki43s in Myitkyina. The high-altitude performance of these aircraft is also very poor, and the speed is super slow. The top speed is only 490 kilometers per hour. If they don't swoop down from a high altitude to make a sneak attack, they will simply not be able to attack an entire army.

The fleet of high-speed P-51s poses a threat. And if they want to climb to a higher position than Ron and the others for a sneak attack, then sorry, the long track will immediately betray their position.

A long flight is a very boring thing, but the reconnaissance mission requires radio silence, so there is no way for the pilots to chat with each other. Everyone can only maintain the flight route while looking around boredly, or simply

I remembered something on my mind.

The two leading aircraft flying at the front began to swing their wings, which was a signal that Myitkyina was about to arrive. Ron quickly concentrated and observed the surrounding air conditions - nearby, he encountered a Japanese fighter jet

The probability is not low.

However, the surroundings were quite calm, and there were no Japanese fighter jets in the most threatening locations.

The P-51s began to slide down and lower their altitude. Ron adjusted the throttle to the minimum and the engine began to idle. At this time, the originally violent engine sound began to become softer. However, due to the decrease in altitude, the plane flew level.

The speed did not decrease, on the contrary, it increased slightly.

At this moment, a P-51 suddenly broke the radio silence: "At 9 o'clock, 4 enemy planes!"

Ron looked to the lower left. Indeed, there were four Japanese planes flying at low speed there. These four planes were painted with green camouflage paint and almost blended into the green jungle. If it weren't for the wings on both sides,

The bright red sun logo on them is so conspicuous that it’s probably not easy to spot them.

These Japanese planes did not find Ron and the others, so they continued to fly forward at a low speed. This was probably because Japanese planes had never been attacked by American fighter jets in the airspace in this area before, and in addition to the previous

The series of victories made these devils a little careless.

"Underestimating the enemy is really the worst enemy a pilot can defeat." Ron thought silently.

But now is not the time to express emotion. As the supreme commander of the formation, Ron ordered: "03, 04, 05, 06, turn to 9 o'clock, dive below the enemy plane at 6 o'clock, and then give them a surprise!"

"Sir, General Bissel does not allow us to take the initiative to attack." A pilot tried to remind Ron.

"Execute the order! I am the supreme commander here!"

"Okay, I obey! But you must promise not to join the fight!"

Captain Harris shook his head and shouted over the radio: "Boys, follow me!" Then he pulled the handle and dropped the auxiliary fuel tank, then made a sharp turn and dived to the lower left.

Although there are orders above that do not allow active attacks, but to have a young man flying a fighter jet watch helplessly at a group of unprepared enemies under the wing without letting him take action is like arranging for them to go to the hospital to help.

But they were not allowed to have any contact with those cute little nurses, which was just as depressing. Now that there was an order to attack from the highest-ranking commander on site, the boys were of course willing to obey.

The four P-51s swooped down from the six o'clock direction of the four Ki-43s until they were about two hundred meters lower than them. Then they quickly pulled up and flew directly from behind and below them.

Pounce. This is an absolute blind spot for the pilot's sight. Launching a surprise attack from this position before the enemy can detect you will ensure that the enemy has no chance of discovering you until the time of firing.

Lieutenant pilot Sakamoto Koji of the Japanese Army Air Force was sitting in the cockpit of Ki43 at this time, unaware of the huge danger approaching him. At noon today, the flight team received intelligence from the lookout post and discovered two unescorted aircraft.

C-47 transport aircraft. So the flight team took off four Ki-43s from Myitkyina Airport to intercept.

Hao Er was very happy to be assigned to this mission. Shooting down two unescorted transport planes was a sure thing. As long as they could be successfully discovered, they would be able to shoot them down. You know, those transport planes were not even decent.

There is no self-defense firepower. The only problem is to find them.

But this is not difficult. Since the length of the hump route is almost to the limit of the C-47's full flight mileage, these lovely transport aircraft can almost only fly on completely fixed routes at the most economical speed and altitude. Discover them

It's not a problem at all. And for shooting them down, Koji, as the leader of the aircraft, will definitely get a long vacation as a reward. During this vacation, he can go back to the small town on the Izu Islands where he was born to visit his old age.

The sick mother, and the stern old man who was a bit old-fashioned. He could also bring his medal and show it off to his childhood playmates.

"There is also little Ye Zi, I don't know what's going on? I don't know how she is doing with her Noh drama. I really want to see her again."

Thinking like this, the girl in a new kimono with a pointed chin and two big eyes that looked like two small moons appeared in front of Koji's eyes again. The girl waved to him,

Lowered his head and smiled sweetly...

"The most tenderness of the lowered head is like the shyness of a water lotus that cannot withstand the breeze. It says treasure, says treasure..." Hao Er unknowingly recited a poem by a Chinese poet.

But this sweet daydream was shattered in an instant. A string of 20mm artillery shells fired from below 6 o'clock ruthlessly tore everything into pieces...

In just one attack, three Japanese fighter jets were smashed into pieces. Only Koji, because he was distracted while reciting poetry and accidentally moved the joystick, escaped the fatal blow. But although he

He escaped the fatal blow, but he was not unscathed - a 20mm shell still hit his wing tip, cutting off a section of his right wing of almost one meter. Another shell

It passed by the fuselage. Although it did not explode, it opened a small hole in the fuel tank. Now the oil leak warning light is on.

As a result, the trim of the entire aircraft was destroyed, and the aircraft began to roll to the right almost automatically. Koji had to press the control stick firmly to the left to barely maintain level flight.

"As long as there is another round of attacks, I will definitely be shot down." Koji looked at the four American planes passing by him, his heart full of despair.

These American planes quickly pulled up and performed an upward somersault lightly.

"They will appear again at my six o'clock soon, and then I will go to Kudanzaka like Yida-kun?" Koji knew that his plane was seriously injured, its flight performance was seriously damaged, and it was impossible to fly.

Evaded the enemy's second round of attacks.

However, the expected attack never came. When Hao Er turned around and looked around, he found that a total of 6 American planes were following him not far behind and above him.

He didn't know that the beautiful beast Commander Ron stopped the second round of attacks. In this beautiful beast's eyes, the seriously injured Japanese aircraft was already meat on the chopping board and could be knocked off at any time. It's just that this evil ghost beast

But he has a more sinister plan.

"This is not far from Myitkyina Airport. That little Japanese will definitely run towards the airport while calling for help. We will let him run near the airport, and then either be in front of the Japanese plane coming to the rescue, or simply run away

Let’s put a big firework over the airport for the Japanese people to see!”

"What a great idea, sir! There's nothing worse than this to demoralize a little Japanese!"

"Sir, isn't this a slap in the face? But I like it, hahahaha... bang bang bang bang..."

An officer who knows how to seize every opportunity to bully the enemy will always be loved by the soldiers in the shortest possible time.

However, Koji had no time to think about this. He turned the plane with difficulty and flew towards the airport, dragging a long trail behind him, formed by the leaked aviation gasoline.

Hao Er began to call the airport, but the damn radio station suddenly went out of order. Hao Er knew that the quality of these domestically produced things was never very good, and problems were common. However, at this time, this thing was so bad.

Immortal is on strike, this is really a bad year!

"No matter why the Americans stopped attacking, I can only run to the airport now. It is better to skydive near the airport than to skydive over the primitive jungle. There is a high chance that I will not be able to go back after parachuting there.
