Chapter 536 Emergency Landing (1)

The comfort of the transoceanic plane surpassed that of any plane that Li Chong took before.

Being in the airport, the huge roar of the engine is blocked a lot, and you can clink glasses and drink some foreign wine.

As the liaison officer for this trip, James bragged to Li Chong about all kinds of things in the United States while drinking.

At this time, the benefits of being proficient in English came to the fore. Li Chong could brag and fuck James with James without any translation. Sitting on the sidelines, I watched my boss speak strange languages ​​along with the foreign devils.

Li Chong and James are both professional soldiers, and both graduated from well-known military academies in their respective countries, so they have a lot to talk about.From James' mouth, Li Chong not only learned about some military enterprises in the United States, but also learned about Stilwell's arrival in Chongqing to take office.

The plane flew high in the sky, and the two drank and chatted in the cabin, chatting from the Chinese battlefield to the Burmese battlefield, from the Pacific battlefield to the European battlefield, and then talked about the eternal common topic between men.

When he was drunk, Li Chong put down his seat and lay down.

Just after falling into groggy for an unknown amount of time, the plane trembled violently. Li Chong suddenly rolled down from the chair, and was awakened by the jolt. James on the side also grabbed the chair with a dazed expression Looking out the porthole.

The plane shook violently on both sides again, and Li Chong firmly grasped the legs of the chair, preventing himself from rolling on both sides.

Through the in-flight broadcast, the urgent voices of the two pilots in the cockpit came, "James, Li! One engine of the plane vibrated abnormally and stopped, and there was a malfunction. We need to make an emergency landing immediately!"

When Li Chong heard this, he wanted to scold his mother.

Ge Laozi, I definitely didn't read the almanac when I went out today, and I was bumped into something like a plane failure.

Li Chong knew very well that the death rate of a plane malfunctioning in the air was self-evident, and if it fell from such a high place, it would be death without even scum.

Although He Maoping and the telegraph operator next to him could not understand the English on the radio, they were feeling the extremely unstable posture of the plane at the moment, and their faces turned pale.

Li Chong's brain was blank, and the attitude of the plane was slowly struggling to return to a horizontal state from the one-sided position just now, but through the porthole, he found that the plane was constantly descending.

Through the continuous voice of the pilot on the radio, Li Chong understood that the plane was using the remaining working engine to adjust the attitude of the plane, and because only one engine was working, the power generated could not maintain the current altitude. At this moment, the two pilots The crew is trying to keep descending altitude and speed in order to make an emergency landing on a flat ground.

"Li, you don't have to worry. This plane is modified from a B17 military bomber. It is solid and reliable. Both pilots have carried out the mission of transporting General Stilwell, and they have rich piloting experience."

James kept talking, not knowing whether to calm down Li Chong or comfort himself.

Li Chong tried hard to keep his legs from shaking, "James, can you know which airspace we are in now? If we land in the Japanese notification area, we will die."

After boarding the plane, he drank and bragged with James for a long time. Li Chong also knew that this Boeing 307 plane can fly in the stratosphere, which ordinary planes cannot reach, so this flight is also very bold. After leaving Chongqing's airspace, he swaggered and flew straight towards Shanghai, preparing to sail across the ocean from Shanghai to the continental United States.

This direct flight route can reduce a lot of detour time. The Americans fly high and fast with their own planes, without fear of harassment from Japanese fighter planes along the way.

Originally, Li Chong also lamented that the Americans were superior to the Japanese planes with their technology, but now the plane's engine failure is about to make an emergency landing. If it is forced to land on the territory occupied by the Japanese, it will be a pie from heaven for the devils.

So Li Chong urgently needs to figure out which airspace he is in at the moment.

Hearing what Li Chong said, James also realized that the mainland below the plane is not entirely occupied by the Chinese armed forces. If there is no war between the United States and Japan, the Japanese will give him delicious food if he falls. Go to the embassy.But regarding the Pearl Harbor incident, the two sides have already torn their skins apart. If they make an emergency landing on a territory ruled by the Japanese, they will lose their skin if they don't die.

After a while, through the dialogue with the two pilots in the cab, Li Chong finally figured out the airspace where the plane is now.

In danger, Li Chong felt a little pleasantly surprised: the plane is now in the sky above Gaoyou.

Although this airspace is under the territory of the Japanese, and it has already left the garrison area under the jurisdiction of Chief Gu's Department in the Third War Zone, but if you fly to the northeast, you can reach the boundary of Xinghua!

When you arrive in Xinghua, you can go back to your dream hometown with the help of a horse or your own feet.

"James, we have to fly a little further to the northeast. Below Gaoyou is the Japanese notification area, and we must not make an emergency landing here!"

After learning from Li Chong that the plane had flown over the garrison site in the third war zone, James looked extremely frustrated, and the two pilots also uttered the words "Shift! Fuck!" while manipulating the joystick.

With only one engine working, the plane did not have enough power to continue its climb to the stratosphere.After leaving this altitude, the two American pilots did not dare to choose to return directly.Once such a large air target is discovered by the Japanese radar, it will undoubtedly die.

After accepting this reality, James asked, "Lee, whose territory is it flying to the northeast?"

Li Chongshang also remembered that when he was still in Changsha, he knew through newspapers that the anti-Japanese forces of the New Fourth Army had been active in his hometown, so he replied, "There is a high probability that the anti-Japanese forces and the New Fourth Army are active."

James looked puzzled, "What? Which army is this?"

Li Chong didn't know how to translate "New Fourth Army" into English, so he used pure Chinglish, and James looked confused.

The first time there was an obstacle in communication, Li Chongnian suddenly thought of a book, "Snow, have you read his book "Red Star Shines Over China"?"

"Yes! Yes! A bestseller in the United States, many Americans have read it. Is the New Fourth Army their armed forces?"

Li Chong nodded.

At this moment, James suddenly realized that the two pilots were manipulating the plane and flying in the direction of Xinghua.

With a still working engine, the plane left the sky over Gaoyou.

The altitude was constantly falling, and Li Chong felt quite emotional. He never thought that he would return to his hometown in this way.After knowing that the following is the range of activities of the New Fourth Army, the two pilots also began to prepare for landing with confidence and boldness.

The plane descended sharply again, and Li Chong could vaguely see the ground below through the porthole.
