It has always been Li Yueying's wish to be able to fly a fighter plane and directly participate in battle... to be precise, to fight to defend the motherland. However, the stubborn military pilots refused female pilots, and Ying Jiangna put the female pilots on the second line as a substitute without a chance to fight on the battlefield.
Otherwise, even if you shoot down a Japanese plane on the Pacific battlefield, you can still indirectly contribute to the motherland.
But from beginning to end, Li Yueying never got this opportunity.
She originally thought that it would take at least a while to join the Eighth Route Army, but who would have thought that the opportunity would come so soon, and it would be a difficult battle.
When Wang Xuexin saw Major Doug was still hesitating, Wang Xuexin added: "In fact, you don't need to think at all, Major! We have no choice!"
Major Doug was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Wang Xuexin meant.
At this time, the Eighth Route Army's aviation fleet can be said to be at an absolute disadvantage. The enemy has at least 36 fighter jets and more than 50 bombers of various types.
It would be nice if the Eighth Route Army established an early warning mechanism, and the Hawk 81 could hide in time.
But now the Japanese can go around the stubborn defense area and attack from another direction... That means that the air force can only take a preemptive strike and seriously injure the enemy's vitality, otherwise it will only be a matter of time before the air force is destroyed.
Therefore, there are indeed difficulties at the tactical level, but they have no choice in the general strategic direction.
After understanding this, Major Doug could only nod his head and said: "Okay, let's do it!"
Li Yueying almost cheered. She even wanted to fly back to the camp to tell the other pilots the good news, but when she thought that she was still needed to translate here, she had no choice but to give up.
Major Doug patted Wang Xuexin on the shoulder and said: "You are right, Wang! I am sorry for my previous words and actions!"
"Fortunately, that's the case, Major!" Wang Xuexin joked: "I don't want to fight with an uncle in his fifties!"
Major Doug glanced at Wang Xuexin's small body, and then laughed "haha": "You are very confident in yourself, including your own physical strength!"
Wang Xuexin was noncommittal. If he was still arguing with Major Doug on this issue, the situation would be in a bad state.
Later one day, when Major Doug witnessed with his own eyes how Wang Xuexin fought hand-to-hand with the Japanese on the battlefield, he realized that he was terribly wrong...
Although Major Doug has also fought in battles, he fought with the enemy in a plane, which is two different things from hand-to-hand combat.
And infantrymen like Wang Xuexin... To be precise, the Eighth Route Army, Yingjiang infantrymen make every effort not to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. Even though the Yingjiang soldiers are tall and powerful, their hand-to-hand combat ability on the battlefield is not ordinary. When fighting against U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, they encountered
Even the volunteer soldiers who were a head shorter than them also fled as soon as they stabbed each other with bayonets.
Therefore, the battlefield is not simply about physical strength, technology, and advantages. Sometimes it is about psychology.
As far as Yingjiang is concerned, they have the advantage in firepower. As long as they can distance themselves from the enemy, machine guns, artillery and tanks can kill the enemy, so why do they need to fight hand-to-hand?
The volunteers were the weaker side in terms of firepower. The last thing they wanted was to distance themselves from the enemy. What they wanted most was to get entangled with the enemy and fight for their lives, so they bit the eagle sauce vigorously and refused to let go.
As a result, over time, the hand-to-hand fighting ability and skills of the volunteers were countless times better than those of the well-nourished and strong Yingjiang.
Wang Xuexin and Major Doug were probably in the same situation at this time.
Major Doug did not realize this yet.
When he saw Wang Xuexin's beast-like appearance on the battlefield, and how quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly he attacked the enemy, he was filled with fear... Fortunately, he didn't have a fight with this lunatic, otherwise he would have been afraid of the enemy.
Life will be lost in a daze.
After making a plan, the two of them split up.
Major Doug convened a meeting with the pilots to convey the plan to the Yingjiang pilots and solicit their opinions... The Yingjiang pilots' mission for this trip was to train Eighth Route Army pilots and not to fight, so they actually had the right to reject this plan that might cost them their lives.
.
We did encounter some minor problems:
"Major, although this is a good plan, what does it have to do with us?"
"This is not our war, there is no need for us to take risks!"
"We still have family members waiting for us! What's more, what's the benefit of doing this?"
…
Eagle sauce pilots are quite realistic, not to mention this is not their country.
At this moment, Li Yueying stood up and said to the pilots:
"Hey, man! That's the common enemy of Yingjiang and Huaxia. Isn't that the purpose of our coming here? To distract the enemy's air power!"
"Think about it! If we don't do this, what will happen next?"
"We can only watch the fighter planes being blown up by the enemy, and then go back home as if nothing happened?"
"No, this is not what I want, I think, nor is it what you want, let alone what Yingchan wants!"
These words obviously persuaded these Yingjiang pilots. After some hesitation, they nodded in agreement one after another.
On Wang Xuexin's side, the first thing to do is to report this plan to Li Yunlong. After all, he is the leader, and all plans require his approval.
When Li Yunlong received the telegram and read it, he laughed "hehehe": "I knew this guy would definitely be able to restore face to our independent group. There is no reason to let the Japanese bombings go in vain!"
If you look at it from Li Yunlong's point of view, he would have approved it immediately without even thinking about it. It would be best to implement it tomorrow morning.
But such a big move was not something Li Yunlong could decide, so Li Yunlong reported the plan to the headquarters.
The commander and chief of staff were still worried about the airport being bombed by Japanese soldiers.
The leader looked at the map angrily: "What tricks did the recalcitrant army do? How could the Japanese planes fly over their heads like no one was around? We had calculated everything, but we just didn't expect that the Japanese would get out of this loophole!"
The chief of staff advised from the side: "Chief, if the stubborn army doesn't stab us in the back, we won't be called the stubborn army! We don't need to be angry about this..."
"But this, this, this..." the chief pointed at the map and said: "This is too outrageous, and you keep talking about cooperation in the war of resistance! It brings shame to our ancestors!"
At this moment, the correspondent came up with a telegram and reported: "Chief, this is a sneak attack plan sent by the independent regiment. Please take a look at it!"
The commander and the chief of staff said "Oh" in unison, hurriedly grabbed the telegram and pointed at the map.
After a while, the chief couldn't help but exclaimed: "You little Northeastern, he's really having fun with these rockets. It wasn't enough to blow up the Japanese airport once before, but now he's moving it to a plane and blowing it up again!"
