New World War II Eagle Strikes the Sky

Chapter 74, Legendary Generals

Before Ron made an emergency landing, the straight-line distance between the small town he saw in the air and the place where he landed was actually not far away, but in fact, due to the fact that this generation has more mountains and winding roads, the actual distance is much greater.In addition, the road conditions were not very good, and the car could not drive fast, so Ron and the others did not enter the small town until the sun was about to set.

This is a small city that still retains the ancient city wall. The city wall is not high, and all kinds of weeds grow on it. In several collapsed and cracked gaps, there are a few twisted and dragon-like trees growing up.They stretch out their dark green branches and leaves under the golden red halo of the sunset, showing off their red or white flowers.

There was a group of soldiers in khaki military uniforms at the gate of the city. When they saw the convoy approaching, they tried their best to puff up their chests and put on a very energetic look.But when the jeep slowly passed by them, Ron found that these soldiers were very thin, just like the African starving people he had seen on TV in his previous life.It's just that at any time, the hungry people in Africa can't stand upright like them.

The convoy drove along a narrow bluestone road and stopped at the gate of a compound with the sign "Xiangyun County Garrison Command of the Republic of China". Ron and McCain jumped out of the car.

McCain twisted his buttocks that were numb from the bumps (due to his height of 1.9 meters, this movement was particularly exaggerated, and Ron almost laughed out loud) and said to Ron: "It's a good idea. When we arrived, I said you were hungry, and I was almost starving to death."

At this moment a squat officer came out of the door. He was wearing a crisp military uniform and the beard on his double chin was clean-shaven.The officer enthusiastically let Ron and the others in, but his dialect accent was so strong that even though he said a lot, Ron couldn't understand a word.

Fortunately, there are translations on the side.The interpreter was thin, with a pair of thick glasses on his fair face. Although he was wearing a military uniform, he looked more like a middle school student.And his English made Ron even more convinced that this is a middle school student who didn't graduate.His Han-style English was almost harder to understand than Chinese, and Ron had to combine his English with the fat officer's Chinese to guess what they were saying.

The fat officer said a lot, but the meaning he expressed was actually quite simple. First, it was nothing more than a bunch of hymns of Sino-US friendship. Second, he had already set up a banquet, ready to clean up the dust for American friends.

Ron was indeed hungry, and after eating Western food for a long time, he really missed Chinese food a little bit.But after witnessing the dying young man due to malnutrition and the reed-like soldiers at the gate of the city, looking at the smiling officer whose figure had clearly risen from the middle, he suddenly lost his appetite.

But before Ron refused, McCain stood up first: "Colonel Ron needs to rest and cannot attend the banquet. Moreover, his body needs to recover, and he cannot eat food that is not conducive to digestion, especially those that are irritating. Things, like peppers!"

In the end, under Dr. McCain's strong intervention, Ron was not dragged to participate in the "Rear Tight Eating" event. Of course, he was not beaten as a tooth sacrifice, and he only had a bowl of noodles for dinner.

Early the next morning, Ron and Dr. McCain arrived at a small airport near the county seat.During World War II, the Americans built many airports in China. In Yunnan alone, they built more than [-] airports. Almost every county has one, and some have more than one airport.

Of course, the size of this airport cannot be compared with Kunming's Wujiaba Airport. There is only one short runway here, and a squadron of P-40 fighter jets is stationed here.

At this time, the sun had risen very high, and the sunlight shone on the p-40 planes parked on the tarmac with ferocious shark mouths painted on them, glowing a hot white light, and the coolness in the early morning had long since disappeared. It's already very hot.

According to Ron's idea, the easiest way to go to Kunming is to open a P-40 and fly directly to Wujiaba.But it seemed that Chennault didn't intend to let Ron fly over by himself.He sent Ron an AT-6, an advanced trainer aircraft.Ron also flew in the inverse cross, as a trainer, this aircraft can be called a classic.It was the second most produced trainer aircraft throughout World War II, a ranking that speaks for itself.

It was a lieutenant named Qiao Si who flew over with the plane. He told Ron as soon as he got off the plane that this time Ron had better be a passenger honestly.However, as a pilot who is used to driving fighter jets, Ron is not interested in driving the AT-6. It is like asking a driver who is used to driving a racing car to drive a tractor.

Now it is impossible to encounter Japanese planes in this airspace, so Ron is happy to relax.He obediently climbed into the back seat, then leaned back on the chair and began to close his eyes and meditate.

The distance between the two airports is actually not far, and the air distance is only about 200 kilometers. Although the AT-6 is not flying fast, it took less than an hour to reach the sky over Wujiaba Airport.

During the Anti-Japanese War, Wujiaba Airport was the largest and busiest military airport in China.This is the end of the hump route and the base camp of the No.14 Air Force.

AT-6 lightly landed on the runway, then turned a corner, taxied directly to a two-story building and stopped.

Led by Qiao Si, Ron walked into the small building.

Qiao Si took Ron to a drink first, then walked aside to make a phone call.

Ron found a seat by himself, sat down, and began to look around at the pilot wine.In fact, the temperament of each air team of Army Aviation is different, and the easiest place to find this difference is the wine.For example, in Li Mei's team, which emphasizes discipline, the pilot's wine room looks clean and orderly, and it has completely become the pilot's standby lounge.

But in the No.14 Air Force's wine room, the situation is completely different. Compared with Li Mei's pilot lounge, this place is noisy and messy.The dark red curtains were tightly closed, blocking the sunlight outside, filling the wine with an ambiguous darkness.The beautiful singing voice from the gramophone wafts through the room.

Ron sat down on a sofa, crossed his legs, and picked up a magazine placed on the coffee table.It was a Playboy, a magazine that had become almost as necessary to the U.S. Army as chocolate, and on the cover was a scantily clad blonde smiling provocatively at Ron.

"Can I sit here?" A female voice rang out.

As soon as Ron looked up, he saw a female officer with a delicate oval face in military uniform and long, curly perm hair standing next to him with a glass of drink.

"Oh, there's no one here, just sit down!"

The female officer sat down on the sofa next to Ron, and she slightly raised one leg, so the fork in the skirt of the female military uniform opened slightly, so that the slender breasts inside were half hidden. Half exposed.

"Are you a new pilot? I don't think I've seen you before." The female officer smiled politely at Ron.

"Yes, I didn't know you were..."

The woman chuckled and held out a slender hand to Ron. "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Li Li, and my English name is Lili. I am the liaison officer of the Chinese Air Force."

"Pilot Ron, I'm very glad to meet such a beautiful lady like you here." Ron reached out his hand, held her hand, and squeezed it lightly on purpose.

The woman withdrew her hand gently, and smiled ambiguously at Ron: "Mr. Ron, aren't you always such a gentleman?"

Ron smiled, but didn't answer.At this time, Qiao Si who had just left to make a phone call came over.

"Colonel, the general is preparing to go hunting with a Chinese general now, and I would like to ask if you are interested in going to have fun together."

"I wish for it." Ron knew that General Chennault's main hobbies in his life were fishing and hunting.

"Then let's go." Qiao Si said, "The jeep is outside."

So Ron stood up and nodded slightly to the female officer named Lily: "Ah, what a coincidence, beautiful lady, I must excuse myself." Then he picked up the coat he had thrown on the sofa and followed Joe They walked out together.

Behind him, the female officer looked at his back and said softly to herself: "A colonel who has never appeared before, why is he here?" Her eyes sparkled in the dim wine Bright, like a hound that has found its prey.

"Who is that woman? There seems to be something wrong." In the aisle, Ron said to Qiao Si while walking.

"A liaison officer of the Chinese Air Force, Staff Schroeder suspects that she is a military commander, um, an agent of China's Central Intelligence Bureau—you know, although we are allies, it is common for us to play tricks on each other."

"It's no wonder she strikes up a conversation whenever she sees a strange face."

"To be honest, if that Chinese bitch is really a spy, then her espionage level is really average, but she is really good-looking, so we all like to tease her. Besides, you know she spies on us What is the message for?"

"for what?"

"In order to more efficiently take the materials we gave them to the black market to make money. His immediate boss, Director Huang, is a big black market dealer."

……

There was a Willys jeep in the backyard. Qiao Si sent Ron to the car, waved him goodbye, and then the jeep drove out of the yard.

After driving for more than 20 minutes, the jeep turned onto a mountain road, and then turned around in the mountains until Ron's head was almost dizzy, when a deep valley full of tall trees appeared before his eyes.On the side of the road, there were several soldiers in military uniforms waiting there with M1 carbines.

"Sir, we're here." The driving soldier stopped the car and said to Ron.

As soon as Ron jumped out of the car, an American sergeant came up and told him that General Chennault was hunting in the valley and that he had been ordered to wait here so that he could take Ron in.In addition, there are several good shotguns prepared by the general, and Ron can choose one by himself.
