Ten days later, the second batch of fighter planes reinforced by Yingjiang arrived at Wanxian Airport.
This batch of fighter planes is somewhat impressive. There are a total of 32 fighter jets in a flying group, but three of them crashed and one disappeared while flying over the hump route. In fact, there are 29 aircraft... The danger of the hump route is worthy of its reputation, especially when flying at night.
Something could happen if you're not careful.
The new pilots, like Major Doug, are second-tier pilots.
But one of them was special, that was a captain named Alec. He stood in front of Wang Xuexin and saluted, then held Wang Xuexin's hand and said: "Captain Wang, we meet again!"
Wang Xuexin was a little confused and asked: "Have we met?"
"Of course!" Alec laughed: "Maybe you don't remember me, but you saved me, and I was one of the pilots you rescued!"
Wang Xuexin said "Oh" and understood. This Captain Alec was the one who flew a bomber to bomb Tokyo and then made an emergency landing in China.
At first Wang Xuexin thought it was nothing, but the next second he felt strange.
You must know that the bombers that bombed Tokyo took off from aircraft carriers...the large land-based bombers took off from aircraft carriers. This is no joke. This pilot must be the elite of the elite.
However, how could Yingjiang send such an outstanding pilot to China at this time?
This is not scientific!
Looking at Wang Xuexin's confused eyes, Alec explained: "I am Doolittle's adjutant. The general hopes to have a more intuitive and detailed understanding of your tactics of using rockets to fight!"
Then Wang Xuexin understood that it turned out to be a big fish caught by a rocket.
But this also makes sense. It is hard for second-line pilots to understand whether the tactics are good or bad and whether they are suitable for the Eagle Sauce battlefield. Only true experts can tell.
Alec is such a connoisseur.
Wang Xuexin was only half right in this regard. Doolittle sent Alec to China. Another reason was that Alec was a pilot of both bombers and fighters. Doolittle wanted to know whether rocket tactics were applicable to bombers.
After the pilots took a short break, Major Doug organized a meeting.
The venue was set up in an open space in a mountain col because there were too many people... Yingjiang pilots, Huaxia pilots, and other staff members totaled nearly two hundred people.
The Eagle pilots sat in rows on wooden benches. They seemed to be very curious about the world. They looked left and right, and even greeted the Chinese pilots, while the Chinese pilots sat upright one by one, looking straight ahead.
at every turn.
This is the military management habit of the two countries. China is more serious about military management, while Yingjiang is a bit casual, and the requirements for military appearance and the like are not so strict.
"Gentlemen!" Major General Doug made the opening remarks. He raised his head to the Eagle pilot and said, "First of all, welcome to your arrival. Although this is not our country, you know that we are dealing with the same country.
Enemy. So, you know what to do! Also, I’m sorry that you didn’t even have time to catch up on the jet lag, but please understand, we don’t have time to rest!”
"Is the situation serious?" Alec asked: "I heard that the Japanese bombers have been blown up by you. We are here to finish it off!"
The pilot let out a "coaxing" laugh.
Major Doug replied: "Then, I will be happy to send you over the enemy to 'finish it', as long as you can come back alive!"
The pilot burst into laughter again.
Wang Xuexin had long been accustomed to the situation of the Yingjiang pilot, but the Huaxia pilot found it very strange and turned his head to look at the Yingjiang pilot from time to time.
"The situation is like this!" Major Doug said: "We don't think that the enemy will not give up. We guess that the reason why they have not made any move until now is because their fighting in other directions is very tense and there is not much
The planes were able to maneuver in our direction. On the other hand, it’s because they haven’t figured out what equipment we used to blow up their airport!”
"Don't they know?" One pilot wondered.
"Yes!" Major Doug replied: "They thought we were using air-launched artillery reinforced by furry bears!"
"Does it make a difference?" Alec asked.
"Of course there is a difference!" Major Doug replied: "Do you know what that piece of equipment they call an 'air-launched gun' is?"
Alec understood immediately: "You mean rs82?"
Infantrymen may not know rs82, but pilots definitely know rs82 because it is an emerging equipment of the air force.
Major Doug added: "Because they thought we were using RS82, and at the same time, they were shot down by Mao Xiong using this rocket in the air during the Battle of Nomonhan. In fact, we know that Mao Xiong used RS82 in air combat.
's, therefore..."
"So the enemy thinks we have an absolute advantage in air combat?" Alec looked at Major Doug in disbelief: "So they don't even dare to take off their fighter planes?"
"No!" Major Doug shook his head: "In fact, they didn't even dare to approach the reconnaissance plane during this period!"
The pilots laughed again.
Alec turned his attention to Wang Xuexin.
He thought that all of this was actually the result of the Chinese battalion commander. Without him, the situation might have been a different story.
Major Doug's analysis is actually only half correct.
Okamura Neji did have concerns similar to rs82, because Ariga Chiri made a detailed report to Okamura Neji and personally went to Taiyuan to accept Okamura Neji's questioning.
Yuga Chiri participated in the Battle of Nomonhan and had rich practical experience. He also saw rockets roaring from a distance on a fighter plane, so his reports and statements are of great reference value.
"Are you sure that is rs82?" Neji Okamura asked.
"I'm not sure, General!" Ariga Chiri replied: "But from all the signs, it is very similar to rs82!"
Chiri Ariga said this to shirk responsibility. What if it wasn't rs82?
Therefore, he didn't dare to tell the truth... The Japanese were so cautious, even though he was already sure in his heart that it was RS82.
"If it's RS82, can it destroy fighter jets one kilometer away?" Okamura Neji asked.
"Yes!" Ariga Chiri gave an affirmative answer. He was sure of this because it happened in the Battle of Nomonhan.
"Then..." Okamura Neiji asked again: "Why didn't Mao Xiong use this thing on the battlefield against Hans?"
Chili Ariga thought for a while and replied: "Perhaps, Hans blew up most of the fighter plane before the bear was ready, thus losing the ability to fight against it!"
This is reasonable to say, because it is indeed the case.
But Okamura Neji doesn't think so.
Because if Mao Xiong really has a piece of equipment that can destroy targets one kilometer away, even if there are only a few fighter planes left, Hans can be given a big "surprise".
