My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 227 Jamie Comes to Help
At this moment, an accident suddenly appeared.Suddenly, six planes with shark patterns on their noses popped out of the clouds above. It was a formation of P40 fighter jets!

This frightened the Japanese pilots, who didn't care about a duel with Wesker, and hurriedly pulled the joystick and turned around to escape.

Six P6s swooped down and double-teamed him from two angles, without giving him any chance to escape.

"Thump, thump, thump, thump...!"

The dense bullets completely blocked all its flight paths, and the Japanese pilots had nowhere to hide. The Japanese fighter plane, which was still proud just now, turned into a ball of fire in a blink of an eye.

Wesker looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.Although it is not clear who led this formation, he is also full of gratitude in his heart.It's a pity, if only they arrived sooner...

"Hey! Brother, are you okay?" At this moment, a familiar voice came from the intercom.

"Jamie?" Wesker asked in disbelief.

"Wesker? Thank God you're alive. Where's the rest of the bombing crew?"

Jamie hurriedly asked, he took off from Kunming Airport half an hour ago, and he received information from the Japanese fighter planes to take off for combat, so he ordered him to lead the team to Tengchong to investigate the enemy's situation.

But he knew that Nantianmen was in battle, and the enemy planes that took off from Tengchong must be targeting here. Jamie simply changed the course and flew directly to Zenda to see if he could help Liao Mingyu.

Sure enough, as soon as they flew near Zenda, they found the scene of the battle. Unfortunately, they were still late.

"I'm the only one left in the escort formation, and Kevin..." Thinking of this, Wesker couldn't help showing a trace of tears in his eyes, and said with difficulty while holding the intercom tightly in his hand: "Our B17 has been captured by the enemy." The machine is entangled, they are in the southeast direction, you go to support!"

"Understood, Wesker, you return first, and leave the rest to us!"

Jamie was very sad to hear the news, but now is not the time to be sad, there are more important things waiting for him to do.

……

Cooper, who rushed to the cab, tied Anderson's severed arm with a tourniquet. The latter was pale and his condition was not very good, and their crisis was not over yet.

The co-pilot was killed, and Anderson was seriously injured. Cooper had to enter the pilot position. Fortunately, he has been learning the skills of flying pilots, and he can barely maintain the stability of the plane with Anderson.

The fuselage of the B17 was completely devastated, and one of the engines on the wing stopped working. Fortunately, no important parts were damaged.

But before the cunning Japanese army gave up, they rushed over to harass a wave, and slowly nibbled away, waiting for the moment when this big guy crashed down. Their perseverance made the crew on the B17 feel terrified.

"I'm out of bullets!"

The machine gunners on both sides of the fuselage yelled loudly that the ammunition in the other machine gun positions has been exhausted, and the long-term shooting has exhausted all the ammunition reserves on the B17.

The Japanese army seemed to have noticed something. Just as they were about to launch a new round of attacks, there was a sudden roar of planes passing through the air from behind.

Four P4 fighter jets swooped down from high altitude at high speed, aiming at the four Falcons below and shooting in one pass.

Facing the enemy approaching at a high speed, the Japanese fighter planes could only respond passively in panic, but they still underestimated the horror of the P40, which dived extremely fast.

Two Falcon fighter planes were blown up on the spot, and the propeller of the other one was hit. The plane lost its power source and fell straight down dragging black smoke. The Japanese pilots hurriedly parachuted and fled.

"Good job!"

"Get rid of these bastards!"

"Huh!"

The crew members in B17 couldn't help shouting. After being ravaged by enemy planes for so long, now watching their companions show off their might and slaughter the enemy, a sense of pleasure arises spontaneously.

Another Falcon escaped the wave of attacks, but the four P4s behind him did not pursue, but quickly pulled up, while the other two P40s left behind dived down again, relying on the super high dive Speed ​​and firepower shattered the Falcon into pieces.

Although the maneuverability and climb rate of the P40 fighter are far from those of the Falcon fighter, it also has the advantages of powerful firepower and excellent dive performance. More importantly, many parts of the fuselage are armored, and its combat resistance is far superior to that of the Falcon fighter. .

Generally speaking, this fighter and the Japanese Falcon fighter have their own advantages, and neither has an overwhelming advantage.The reason why the Flying Tigers can achieve a proud record is due to the air guerrilla tactics proposed by General Chennault.

Taking advantage of the fast dive speed of the P40, it dives from a high altitude and hits and runs. It never engages in horizontal dogfights with the Japanese army, and completes complex formation flights as much as possible, so as to destroy an enemy plane with multiple planes in air combat.

The core of its tactics is to dive at high speed, fire, and then fly away to make a second dive and fire.While fighting and hiding, we must not stay within the range of the Japanese fighter planes.

It was such a rogue tactic, but it made the Japanese Army Air Corps lose its temper. There is an old saying that it doesn't matter whether a black cat or a white cat catches mice, it is a good cat.

"This is Captain Jamie Bryan of the Ninth Squadron. How is your situation?"

Jamie adjusted the intercom channel to the corresponding band, and asked the B17 crew, while six P40 fighters flew with them at the same altitude.

"God bless, thank you for your support. We have suffered a lot of casualties. We have to return immediately and ask for our escort." Cooper immediately responded that Anderson had lost too much blood and had to go back to the base immediately for treatment. .

"Understood, Xiao En, your formation will escort them, and the rest will follow me to Nantianmen!"

Time was running out, Jamie quickly made arrangements, and the six fighters split into two and flew in two directions.

……

The time went back to ten minutes ago. Just after the Japanese ground attack aircraft dropped a few aerial bombs, several huge openings appeared in the front position of Banshanshi.

The first regiment of the Yu Division suffered heavy casualties. Under the double attack of enemy bombs and machine guns, four to five hundred soldiers died on the spot, and even Zhang Lixian was injured and sent to the rear.

The planes in the sky were still circling and diving, ruthlessly strafing the soldiers on the ground with machine guns. The Japanese army took advantage of this opportunity to charge forward frantically, trying to take down the half-mountain stone in one fell swoop.

"Damn! Why is the little devil's plane here at this time?"

Liao Mingyu and Yu Xiaoqing could see through the binoculars. No one expected that the Japanese army would have aircraft reinforcements. The Sichuan-Yuan Allied Forces, which also lacked air defense forces, were overwhelmed.

Although there are many anti-aircraft machine guns on the east bank, they can't do anything with the enemy planes that are far above the west bank. The distance is too far and the range is beyond the range, so they can only watch and worry.

But now the little devil was too close to his own soldiers, and the heavy artillery didn't dare to fire there.

"Communication soldier! Contact Chen Jize immediately, you can't throw away the Banshan Stone yet, you must guard it!" Liao Mingyu frowned and sternly said.

"Yes!"

The entire defense line was in danger, but fortunately Hong Mu commanded the remnants to resist bravely with the enemy. The soldiers risked their lives to fight on the front line, pushing the Japanese out of the position, while waiting for the rear support troops to come up.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

The 60mm mortars in the rear began to fire, and the mortar shells exploded a plume of smoke and dust in the middle of the devil's attacking team. Relying on the suppression of firepower, the Japanese army's assault team appeared an offensive fault.

"Old Hong! Get out of the way!" Fan Laosan's resonant voice sounded from behind.

At this moment, He Shuguang led the third battalion of the first regiment, and Fan Xiangwu rushed to the front line with two companies of the third battalion.

Hong Mu made a decisive decision not to continue entanglement, and ordered the remaining remnants to retreat immediately to leave space for the support troops to shoot.

"Crack blah blah blah!"

"Bang bang! bang! bang bang! bang"

……

As soon as Hong Mu and his men withdrew, the Japanese army jumped into the position with their back feet. Before they could cheer, they were greeted by a dense barrage of bullets.In front of the powerful Sichuan army, countless Japanese soldiers fell in pieces.

"Brothers, follow me to drive the devils out! Kill!"

Fan Xiangwu shouted loudly, and after speaking, he was the first to rush forward with his gun in hand. The soldiers were not to be outdone, and followed his pace to launch a countercharge to the Japanese.
