my bright sword career

Chapter 667
A huge goshawk soared in the blue sky, and Chennault looked at the goshawk enviously.

He clearly remembers that one day when he was six years old, he and a group of companions were playing on the grass in Louisiana. After playing tired, they lay down on the grass to bask in the sun and fell asleep, dreaming that he was running on the grass, running As he ran, his body left the ground and flew into the sky like a bird.

Flying over mountains, rivers, and vast fields, overlooking the land in the sky, I feel refreshed.

Suddenly a small field mouse got under him, awakening the dream.As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a goshawk soaring in the sky. Recalling the flying scene in my dream, I felt like I had turned into an eagle.

From then on, Chennault had countless dreams of flying. Sometimes he dreamed of standing on the ground with his arms flat, taking a deep breath, holding it hard, kicking his feet upwards, and floating his body lightly like a kite.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Chennault looked forward again.

At this very moment, he is at the airport in Kunming, where more than a dozen P-40 Tomahawk fighter jets painted in blue camouflage are neatly lined up on the tarmac. Because the unique elongated nose of the P40 is painted like a shark's blood basin With a big mouth, it looks particularly ferocious.

Not far from the P-40 fighter jets, there are several blue behemoths parked, which are three C-47 transport planes.

"Sir, all the planes have been overhauled and ready to go into battle at any time." A greasy ground crew in his twenties ran up to him and reported loudly.

"Thank you Huster." Chennault patted him on the shoulder, "You did a good job, now go tell those boys to go to rest."

"Okay sir." Huster agreed, then hesitated before asking: "Sir, I heard that we are going to transfer to Yangon Airport, is that true?"

"Yes." Chennault nodded, "Now the army of the national army is fighting fiercely with the Japanese in Burma, and air support is urgently needed. The third squadron must go to help."

"But the third squadron alone is too little. I heard that the Japanese are still very strong in the air in Burma. I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat those Japanese monkeys with the third squadron alone?"

Chennault's Flying Tigers were divided into three squadrons. The first squadron was stationed in Liuzhou, Guangxi, and the second and third squadrons were stationed in Yunnan.

"Shuster!"

Chennault's voice became severe, "If I remember correctly, we signed an agreement before we came to China. Since we received this high salary, we must be worthy of it, otherwise you are very clear about the consequences of violating the agreement. of."

"I understand." Seeing Chennault's serious expression, Huster didn't dare to speak anymore, saluted him and quickly slipped away.

At 15 o'clock in the afternoon, Chennault led 47 planes of the third squadron of the Flying Tigers and three C-[-] transport planes loaded with various parts and materials to Yangon, Myanmar.

Myanmar Sunshine Chinese Expeditionary Army First Route Army Headquarters

"Sir... Please save our 200th Division. If this division is gone, Mr. Dai's spirit in heaven will not feel at ease!" Zhou Zhizai, the chief of staff of the 200th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, looked at the commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Army with red eyes. Luo Zhuoying begged (the timeline and what happened are different from the real history, it's just a novel, please don't take it seriously.)
"Our division has been surrounded by the Japanese army in Tonggu. If there is no more reinforcements, the last seed of the 200th division will be wiped out!"

Luo Yingzhuo looked at the ragged colonel in front of him with a bandage on his arm, and said with a serious expression, "Chief of Staff Zhou, what is the situation of your division now, and how long can you last?"

"Sir, since the beginning of the battle to defend the Tongguhui, our Master Dai has made up his mind to die.

At the beginning of the battle, the battle went smoothly. The officers and soldiers of our division fought bloody battles and wiped out more than 800 enemies at the cost of [-] sacrifices.

But with the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, our situation began to gradually increase.

On November 11, the British troops who had been covering the flanks gave up their defenses and retreated without a fight, ignoring our army. As a result, the left and right flanks of our division, which had been covering the retreat of the British troops, were occupied by the 2th Division of the Japanese Army. The officers and soldiers instantly fell into the desperate situation of the Japanese army's heavy encirclement.

The day before yesterday, Commander Dai was shot by a stray bullet when he was in command of the battle. Now the whole division is in danger. Please, Commander Luo, send reinforcements as soon as possible. Otherwise, our 200th division is in danger of being wiped out! "

Seeing Zhou Zhizai, who was covered in injuries and forced himself to come to ask for help, everyone in the headquarters fell silent.

Just as Luo Zhuoying was about to speak, he heard footsteps outside the door, and a big-nosed officer wearing a yellow-green summer jungle uniform and a pair of glasses walked in. Lieutenant General Diwei.

Stilwell walked in quickly and said loudly, "General Luo, I heard that the 200th Division was surrounded by the Japanese. Is that true?"

"Yes, General Stilwell." Luo Zhuoying was about to speak, but was interrupted by Stilwell.

"General Luo, in this case, why don't you immediately send troops to reinforce?"

Seeing that Stilwell accused him indiscriminately as soon as he came, Luo Zhuoying frowned, and then said: "Of course I want to send troops to reinforce, but the problem is that there is no troop to reinforce.

Now I have more than 100 kilometers away from the nearest army to Tonggu. With the bad road conditions in Myanmar, it will take two to three days to arrive at the fastest. When the reinforcements arrive, the 200th Division may have already been eaten by the Japanese. Lost. "

Stilwell waved his hand, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Then send the air force to support, drop supplies, and bomb the Japanese positions. No matter what, let the 200th Division survive these few days."

Now, the faces of everyone in the headquarters are not looking good.

Stilwell regards himself as the commander of the expeditionary force.

But even though everyone was upset, no one dared to come forward to attack him, because although the old man did not have the command power to command the expeditionary force, he held the right to deploy American aid to China in his hands.

In other words, all the materials that the United States aids China must be approved by him. Without his nod, the expeditionary army can never get a grain of rice and a bullet. This is what he can do to the military deployment and command of the expeditionary force. reason for the interference.

Seeing Luo Zhuoying's uneasy expression, Du Yuming, who was afraid that he would quarrel with Stilwell, the deputy commander of the expeditionary force and commander of the Fifth Army, stood up: "General Stilwell, our biggest problem now is the lack of air support.

This morning, we have ordered to be stationed in Kunming, and the Flying Tigers led by General Ronald rushed to Yangon immediately, and it is estimated that they will arrive at noon, so that we can reinforce the 200th Division. "
