There are indeed difficulties. For example, if the co-pilot has a navigator, they will definitely find something wrong.
But when Li Dongcheng thought about it, he thought it was no big deal... The worst case scenario would be to fly the plane and hit the ground. What else could you do to me?
When he thought of this, Li Dongcheng felt relaxed again, and it was time to see if Zhou Yuankai could do anything.
Zhou Yuankai was actually in a very difficult situation on the other plane.
Because he was worried that intelligence leakage would affect the plan, he did not dare to tell anyone about the matter. It would be much easier to talk about it after getting on the plane.
But now that he actually got on the plane, he found that things were not as simple as he imagined.
What if the co-pilot disagrees?
They still have the ability to control themselves and the aircraft, and the guards can even shoot themselves to death with pistols... The pistol has poor penetration, and the bullet will stay in the human body without damaging the aircraft.
And if you have to turn and turn in a large way, it will be difficult to hide it from the co-pilot.
After thinking about it, Zhou Yuankai said to the co-pilot: "Xiao Wei, please rest for a while. I'll wake you up in an hour and come and take my place!"
The co-pilot's name was Zhang Wei, a native of Nanjing. Nanjing fell to the enemy before he graduated from aviation school.
Because he was a rare technician, the Japanese thought they could use him, so they escaped the massacre.
Zhang Wei did not doubt that it existed, so he said "yes" and then closed his eyes to rest.
This is a normal operation for the driver and co-pilot.
The straight-line distance from Nanjing to Xinjing is about 1,500 kilometers, and it takes about three hours to fly.
It is difficult for a pilot to maintain a three-hour flight without getting tired...after all, the aircraft of this era do not have the autopilot function like modern passenger aircraft.
Zhou Yuankai waited for another ten minutes and saw that Zhang Wei was snoring a little, and then slowly turned the plane.
Zhou Yuankai turned little by little to avoid alerting the co-pilot.
But there is another risk in driving like this...that is, the pilot himself may not know which direction to turn.
Under normal circumstances, the navigator should be asked to compare the map and compass to calculate whether he is going wrong.
But how could Zhou Yuankai dare to let the navigator do this?
However, Zhou Yuankai had confidence in his driving skills. After so many years of flying in the sky, and it was the Chinese sky, there were familiar landmarks and buildings everywhere. He believed that he could successfully fly the plane to Yuncheng without the navigator.
Li Dongcheng, who was following Zhou Yuankai, immediately understood Zhou Yuankai's intention, so he also turned little by little.
The co-pilot also said strangely: "Is there something wrong with the Jianguo? The direction seems wrong!"
"What's wrong!" Li Dongcheng responded immediately: "Team Zhou doesn't know better than you, so just take care of yourself! Don't worry about it!"
The co-pilot was so scolded by Li Dongcheng that he didn't dare to say anything more. He felt that he was in trouble. There was Ye Peng of the National Defense Force on the plane in front of him. Maybe he would change the location temporarily?
As a result, the two planes flew in the air one after another. No one noticed that the plane slowly turned in the air. The flight route actually took a big turn and went straight to Yuncheng.
After flying forward for a while, Zhou Yuankai felt relieved. The thick clouds below made it almost impossible to see the buildings on the ground.
This has advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that the Japs on the ground cannot detect the flight direction of their two planes... Although the probability of being discovered by the Japs is very small, there is still the possibility that the Japs will track the flight trajectory and send fighter planes to intercept them.
Thick cloud cover means this possibility is very small.
Another advantage is that Ye Peng and others in the cabin... although they can't feel the change of steering, it would be a bad thing if they look out the window and see a familiar building and find that the direction is wrong.
So the clouds can be said to have been a big help.
The disadvantage is that it is difficult for Zhou Yunkai to identify the direction himself.
But he had another way. He knew Luliang Mountain and Zhongtiao Mountain. As long as he got close to these two mountains, Yuncheng would not be able to escape.
Sure enough, soon a familiar mountain peak appeared in his sight.
It's Luliang Mountain... Zhou Yuankai's heart almost jumped out of his chest with excitement.
At this time, the plane encountered a turbulence in the airflow, which woke up the co-pilot Zhang Wei. He also recognized Luliang Mountain. When he opened his eyes, he looked at Zhou Yuankai in surprise and said: "Captain, did you fly in the wrong direction? That's Luliang Mountain."
Mountain!"
Zhou Yuankai said with a livid face: "I know, don't say anything!"
Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned pale with fright, and he was trembling as he spoke: "Captain...Captain, you can't be..."
Zhou Yuankai looked back at the partition behind him. He was sure that they could not hear their conversation from behind, so he said meaningfully to Zhang Wei: "Xiao Wei, you are right, we are going to join the Eighth Route Army!"
As soon as Zhang Wei heard this, his originally pale face lost even a trace of color: "Team, captain...this is going to be beheaded!"
Zhang Wei was a survivor of the massacre. He saw so much death that when he thought of disobeying the Japanese, he immediately recalled the tragic scenes of the massacre and the brutality of the Japanese. This made him dare not disobey the Japanese for so many years.
, completed his tasks meticulously, which is why he was promoted to co-pilot at such a young age.
"Xiao Wei!" Zhou Yuankai said, "You have a blood feud with the Japanese. Have you ever thought about it? Do you plan to live like this for the rest of your life?"
Then Zhou Yuankai added: "Besides, you can't live like this forever. We all know that Yingjiang has already started a war with the Japanese. Is it possible that the Japanese will win this war?"
Without waiting for Zhang Wei to answer, Zhou Yuankai added: "If the Japs can't win this war, think about it, what will happen if you continue to help the Japs like this?"
Zhang Wei couldn't help but fell silent after hearing this.
Zhou Yuankai was right, there was a blood feud between him and the Japanese, but he had always kept this blood feud in his heart and did not dare to stir up any trouble.
This has even become a habit, which made Zhang Wei forget his hatred for the Japanese.
Now being analyzed by Zhou Yuankai, Zhang Wei found that the captain was right. Instead of continuing like this, it was better to take a risk.
Thinking about it, Zhang Wei nodded and said: "Captain, I listen to you! Where should we fly?"
Zhou Yuankai replied happily: "Yuncheng should be arriving soon!"
Zhou Yuankai's guess was correct, they were indeed about to arrive, because after a while they saw Zhongtiao Mountain... Yuncheng is at the intersection of the Luliang Mountains and the Zhongtiao Mountains.
At this time, even the people in the cabin seemed to feel that something was wrong. There was a knock on the door from behind the cabin, and then Ye Peng's assistant shouted: "Captain Zhou, did you fly to the wrong place?"
Zhang Wei looked nervous again and asked: "What should I do?"
Zhou Yuankai smiled and replied: "Don't worry, don't worry about them, what else can they do to us? Who will fly the plane if we are killed?"
