During this day on March 10, Wei Ran was sleeping very steadily amid the roar of bombers landing one after another. He even had a good dream, so that when he was woken up, his face was unconsciously filled with a bright smile.

"It seems you really didn't have nightmares."

Brad said weirdly, "The last time I saw such a bright smile was the day after my silly brother and his first love."

"Thank you for the strange analogy"

Wei Ran said with a smile that he was in a particularly good mood, both of the reality of last night and the dream just now.

"I have just visited Dumbo's crew station."

Brad said while packing his things, "I told them that I was going to help with the White Whale. Victor, if you are ready, we will rush to Grant now. I'm worried that there will be an air raid mission tonight."

"Let's go"

Wei Ran said as he had already climbed up. He knew clearly that there would be no air raid mission tonight. He knew even more that the next air raid would start tomorrow evening and the target was Nagoya.

"Maybe there will be a bombing mission tonight"

Brad said, "If you want to participate, you can also go to Dumbo crew, I mean..."

"I understand, let's go to Grant's place first."

Wei Ran said, already picked up his camera and hung it around his neck, and then worked with Brad to carry the aviation camera out of the wooden house.

Before the sunset began to be blocked by palm trees and coconut trees in the distance, the two drove to the near the White Whale's apron and found the tent and Grant belonging to the White Whale's unit.

It was only a daytime experience, and there was an additional tent here. Obviously, this might be prepared for them.

At this time, between the two tents, there were two wooden tables put together, and there were some food and drinks on them.

On both sides of the table, 10 crew members, including Grant, were already waiting for them.

Without waiting for the car to stop, the other nine people except Grant had already gathered around enthusiastically, and helped them carry their small luggage, the huge aviation camera, and even the camera base that was obviously removed from the bomb bay of Dumbo to the extra tent.

"Grant, aren't you going to introduce it to us?"

Among these people, a blond man who seemed to be the oldest, shouted to the outside while walking into the tent with Wei Ran's box, while also touching his fists with Brad.

Obviously, these two people may have known each other. More obviously, Grant seems to be the "honest person" in this crew.

"You can definitely see who is my brother Brad."

Grant, who did not walk into the tent, said, "The other is Victor, who is a professional journalist, and my brother can only be regarded as an assistant at most."

Speaking of this, Wei Ran and others also sat down at the table between the two tents surrounded by the crew members.

"This is our captain Tom"

Grant introduced to the oldest looking blond man, then pointed to a quiet and stubble man next to him and said, "He is the deputy captain Paul."

After Wei Ran and Brad shook hands with the two, Gran introduced the other three, "The one holding the pipe was Navigator Bill, the wireless telegrapher Jonathan wearing glasses, and the one wearing a gold tooth was the mechanic Philip."

After introducing the five people in turn, Grant quickly introduced the other four gunners, "Anthony is wearing only shorts, Lewis is wearing pants but naked upper body, and George is wearing the beast-tooth necklace.

Almost drunk, Val, who is very good friends with our bomber Roger.”

After shaking hands or fists with these people, everyone sat down one after another. Brad also familiarly distributed a cigar to everyone, including Wei Ran and Grant.

“We flew a little too high last night”

Captain Tom took a mouthful of cold Coke and said regretfully, "We are worried about being hit, so we are two thousand feet more than the required height."

"That height is just the height of the air defense artillery covering the ground"

Deputy Captain Paul was also full of regret, "The explosion of shrapnel took Roger's life first, and we hurriedly finished dropping the bomb and immediately left the battlefield."

"He died because of Paul and I'm afraid and mistakes," Captain Tom said guiltily.

“I don’t want to mention these at this time”

Brad poured his voice for a moment before asking, "So have you dropped the incendiary bomb into the target airspace? Or are you flying back with the incendiary bomb?"

"After Roger's death, we immediately lowered our height."

Deputy Captain Paul said, "Before we left the battlefield, we lowered the altitude to 6,000 feet and then hurriedly dropped the incendiary bomb."

"Our incendiary bombs did not fall within the flame cross"

The one who took over the topic was the drunken gunner Val, "The bombs fell on the edge of the flame cross, and seemed to be near a bridge. I clearly saw the reflection of the river in the tail turret."

"There will be another bombing."

"Brad, we need a low-altitude bomber, we heard from Grant that you are a good bomber, and you're a great bomber, and your nickname is home run."

"I..."

Brad was stunned for a moment, apparently, in his younger brother Grant's explanation of the crew, the malicious nickname "home run" was given other explanations.

"You're not scared, are you?" Grant asked intentionally.

"I have agreed to come to the White Whale to help," Brad responded in a pun, "as long as you are not afraid."

“We’ve learned a lesson”

Navigator Bill said, "We won't be afraid anymore, and we don't want to lose anyone anymore."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Duji is back safely," Grant said in the same pun, "No one will be afraid anymore."

"Anyway, Roger is dead."

The drunk Val said, "For Val, we have to do something even if we are afraid."

"For example, throw more incendiary bombs on the head of the nuclear snare," gunners Anthony and Lewis said almost in unison.

"Brad and I may not be able to help you in other things," Wei Ran said, "but we can all help with this."

“Victor is right”

Brad finally expressed his attitude clearly, "We can both serve as bomb droppers."

Speaking of this, Brad and Wei Ran looked at each other, and then said the second half, "The other person can serve as the tail gunner."

"In that case, given that we may receive bombing missions at any time."

Captain Tom and deputy captain Paul looked at each other, "We might as well confirm the crew members first."

"Aren't you just one bomber?" Brad asked. "We even gave a gunner."

"We have our own gunners, and we want to do something for Roger," said George, the gunner who hadn't spoken just now. "The White Whale has no cowards."

"We really only need a gunner"

Deputy Captain Paul said apologetically, the meaning was self-evident. They only need one of Wei Ran and Brad.

"Brad, no, home runs as your bomber."

Wei Ran said at this time, "Sir Captain, I guess you can still stuff a reporter in your cabin, right? Of course, there is also my aviation camera."

"Do you want to follow the White Whale to carry out a bombing mission?" asked Deputy Captain Paul, "as a reporter?"

"He was allowed to follow any bomber to participate in the bombing mission and conduct interviews," Brad made up a lie for Wei Ran.

"Or I can go back to Dumbo crew, too."

Wei Ran said indifferently, "I am a reporter, I need a hero in the newspaper, and the white whale or Dumboy is no different for me."

"Mr. Victor, welcome to join Moby Dick." Captain Tom stood up and took the initiative to extend his hand towards Wei Ran.

"My honor, Captain." Wei Ran shook hands with the other party with a smile.

After a few words, everyone started chatting with the food on the table.

In fact, before chatting, Wei Ran and Brad saw the difference between this crew. Compared with Dumbo, the captain and deputy captain of the White Whale, as well as the navigator, mechanic, and radio telegrapher, were both thirty-five or six years old, but the gunners all looked about the same age as Grant.

Obviously, the part of the crew responsible for driving may have a lot of combat experience. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that their gunners are all so young.

During the chat, Wei Ran and Brad also unexpectedly heard the image of Grant's "brother" from the crew.

In the description Grant gave to his crew members, his brother Brad was an experienced bomb thrower with outstanding military achievements. Because he fought bravely and accurately dropped bombs, he received the title of "Home Run".

Not only that, he also took photos with the big cigar and even got the big cigar signed.

Even this crew learned from Grant the habit of taking a streamer as a lucky charm.

Grant was particularly calm about all this, but Brad was obviously a little embarrassed and at a loss.

After having dinner during such chat, the sun had already sunk into the sea level in the distance, but none of them received the order to bomb the mission.

Until this time, everyone knew that there might not be any more flights to recruit nuclear weapons tonight.

As the dinner was over, Tom and others who needed to go to the command center to leave first by car. Then, except for Grant and the drunk Val, the other three gunners also left here.

"I guess you two must have a lot to talk about"

Wei Ran said, and had already stepped on the jeep they drove, stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the direction of the wooden house in the darkness.

What did the Donnie brothers talk about this night? Wei Ran was not curious. After returning to the wooden house, he took a shower and lay on the bed and lit a mosquito coil. He wanted to keep all his energy for the Nagoya tomorrow.

That night, there was not much roar of planes taking off and landing, no mosquito bites, and no Brad's snoring. Wei Ran got what he wanted and slept comfortably until dawn.

When I woke up again, the genius was in a daze and the airport was rare and extremely quiet. There were only two stray dogs mingling unscrupulously on the runway.

“It’s a good weather today”
