Thinking of this terrible consequence, Lu Dayou quickly shouted on the radio, "Thrush 12, Thrush 13, you immediately cover the evacuation of Thrush 25, and other units attack the enemy aircraft with all their strength."
Now Lu Dayou only had one thought in his mind, which was to cover Xie Wenjie's retreat. Even if the plane was to crash, it would still have to land on territory controlled by his own people, so that he might still have a chance to escape.
"Eagle's Nest...Eagle's Nest, this is the Thrush Squadron. Thrush No. 25 is hit and may crash at any time. Please send a search team immediately for rescue."
Just when mainland China made an emergency call to the airport, Xie Wenjie felt the shadow of death for just a few seconds.
He had already observed that a large piece of the left wing of the fighter plane he was flying had been knocked off. He didn't know whether it was a fragment or a stray bullet that hit the engine located on the nose of the plane. The engine was already surging, possibly due to oil leakage, and a jet of water began to appear on the nose of the plane.
Long strings of black smoke.
"Fuck his grandma!"
Seeing that the tachometer needle dropped from 4,600 rpm to 2,500 rpm in just a few seconds, Xie Wenjie was so angry that he cursed.
"Thrush 25, fly back as far as possible."
Looking at the plane trailing long black smoke from its wings and nose, Lu Dayou's heartbeat kept accelerating. If he had reacted quickly and been able to drive away the Zero, or had issued a warning earlier, perhaps this thing would not have happened.
.
"clear!"
Xie Wenjie's breathing became more and more rapid, and he tried to calm himself down.
At this time, the cockpit of the plane was filled with the smell of burning wires, and he had to fly back.
This is the kid's airport area, and there are little kid's everywhere. It would be great fun to skydive here.
Xie Wenjie shuddered at the thought that he was very capable and wanted to be a prisoner of the Japanese.
He knew the consequences very well. Once he became a prisoner of the Japanese, there were only two consequences.
One is that the Japanese do not know his identity and will treat him as an ordinary prisoner of war. According to the degree of hatred of the Japanese towards the Liantai militia, his chance of survival is almost zero.
The other is to reveal his identity. He can be sure that the Japanese will definitely treat him as a national treasure, and then use him to blackmail his brother-in-law.
For example, if Gao Hongming is asked to give the Japanese several advanced fighter jets such as Hellcats or even Pandas, his brother-in-law will definitely be in a dilemma. Maybe the Japanese will even ask him to surrender. In this way, he will definitely become a sinner and let the whole world suffer.
The family was embarrassed by this.
Thinking of this, Xie Wenjie's heart became even more confused.
He looked back out of habit and found that the black smoke on the left wing had disappeared.
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The reason why the left wing was burning just now was because the residual oil in the self-sealing fuel tank in the wing was burning. The self-sealing fuel tank should have only partially ignited. At least now there is no need to worry about the wing being completely burned.
"Thrush 25, try to climb as high as possible. There is one of our troops near here, only 6 kilometers away from you. If the engine is shut down, you can try to use the gliding performance to fly as much as possible..."
Listening to the voice coming from his ears, I wrote the document and knew that the deputy captain was protecting me, but maybe the communication radio station was burned down, and Lu Dayou's voice was only half heard before disappearing.
At this time, several Hellcats had already freed up their hands and formed a circle around Xie Wenjie to ensure that no more enemy planes would come over to fire at him.
Xie Wenjie, who was piloting the plane, looked behind him and saw that there was still a fierce battle in the air behind him. Several planes were falling dragging black smoke. Due to the distance, he could not tell whether it was an enemy plane or our own plane.
Just as Xie Wenjie was trying hard to fly the plane back, Huang Huaimin's voice sounded from the tower in Yangon Airport.
"What are you still doing? Send out all the reconnaissance planes immediately and be sure to find Thrush 25.
Once the location is determined, see if there are conditions for the Crane reconnaissance plane to land. If not, immediately notify the nearest unit and be sure to bring the person back to me!"
Following Huang Huaimin's order, the entire Yangon Airport began to panic. A squadron of Panda fighter jets quickly took off, followed by more than a dozen Crane reconnaissance aircraft.
This ultra-light reconnaissance aircraft is particularly useful in complex terrain, especially since it has the ultra-short-distance landing and take-off performance of ordinary aircraft, making it a good hand in emergency rescue.
At this time, the speed of Thrush 25, whose left wing was burned into pitch black, was getting slower and slower, and it looked like it might crash at any time.
"Thrush 25, what do you think? Can you still support it?" Lu Dayou, who had been accompanying it on the flight, pushed open the hatch cover, stuck his head out and shouted loudly.
For the convenience of skydiving, Xie Wenjie also opened the hatch cover in advance.
"Surges are becoming more and more frequent. I wonder how long it can last?"
Sweat continued to flow from Xie Wenjie's forehead, and his frequent surges made him feel that death was approaching. He might survive the forced landing, but if he was captured by the Japanese.
No... Since the establishment of the Liantai Militia, there has never been a captured pilot. This problem must not be taken from oneself.
"Father, mother, if the child dies unfortunately, please forgive me for not being able to provide for you and your parents until the end of your life. Sister, I'm sorry that I have embarrassed you..."
Thinking of this, Xie Wenjie touched the Schmeisser submachine gun strapped to his thigh, with a wry smile in his heart.
I didn't expect that it would come in handy for the first time I participated in an air battle, but even if I died, I wouldn't be at a loss. At least I had just shot down an enemy plane, which could be regarded as a back-up.
"Hold on, the further back you fly, the greater your chance of being rescued!" Lu Dayou flew the plane beside him and kept saying words of encouragement.
"Bump..."
At this moment, there were several muffled sounds from the engine. As the engine oil leaked, the temperature of the engine became higher and higher. Finally, the engine, which could not bear the high temperature, finally stopped rotating and ignited a raging fire.
"Skydive...Hurry up and skydive!" Lu Dayou, who was very close to the explosion of the engine, naturally saw it. When he saw the engine stopped rotating, he shouted loudly.
Xie Wenjie also jumped out as soon as the engine stopped rotating and started to burst into flames. Within a few seconds of him jumping out of the plane, the entire plane was surrounded by flames...

Expeditionary Force Command
"Sir, emergency!"
Gao Hongming, who was discussing matters with Luo Zhuoying and Du Yuming, saw Dabao trotting towards him with a panicked expression.
Seeing this, Gao Hongming frowned. With these years of hard work, this follower who grew up with him has gradually grown into a qualified soldier and will rarely show such an expression. What's going on today?
