New World War II Eagle Strikes the Sky

() In the following month, the research team conducted several experiments to test the bat bomb's high-altitude survival and jet lag.The high-altitude survival test proved that when flying at an altitude of 8000 meters for an hour, without the protection of heat preservation, pressurization, and oxygenation measures, bats have almost no survival rate at all.Even if the bats at high altitude lose the protection of supercharged oxygen for about 1 minute, nearly half of the bats will fall into a coma.But in actual combat, once these guys fell into a coma, they would definitely have to fall to their deaths.

As a result, cheaper magazine pressurization was rejected.The bomb had to be identified as pressurized.This is actually not difficult, but making each small door on the bomb highly airtight, and then installing a carbon dioxide chemical collection device inside the bomb slightly increases the cost.The new bomb also successfully withstood the test of long-distance flight at high altitude.A modified B-24 bomber carried several bombs loaded with bats on several direct flights from the continental United States to Alaska, and most of the bats survived the flight.

Microgravity fuzes have also made breakthroughs. In recent tests, this kind of fuze has guaranteed a firing rate close to 60.00%.This kind of fire rate is basically usable, but considering that this kind of bomb has to travel long distances to China, there may be bumps in the middle, high temperature, low temperature, and salt spray erosion, so its reliability needs to be improved. Many tests.

As for the problem of jet lag, it has also been successfully solved by artificially controlling the change of brightness in the big black room where the bats are kept.

Now, this kind of bomb has no major technical problems, it just waits to become more and more perfect under the tempering of time.Then another question started to become pressing.That is China's preparation.

Considering the Chinese side and its tragic counterintelligence capabilities, and the fact that the kmt government was infiltrated by the Japanese like a sieve.This plan must be hidden from the Chinese government.Otherwise, I am afraid that before the bat bombs are dropped, Japan will launch a nationwide campaign to eliminate bats.

However, it is very difficult for such a plan not to pass the Chinese government.Among other things, the source of the bats alone is a big problem.Sichuan is a basin with many mountains and caves.There are certainly more bats living in caves.It is obviously cheaper to catch bats on the spot than to transport bats all the way from the United States.And considering the cost of labor, it is obviously much cheaper to hire Chinese to catch bats than to send a lot of Yankees to do this job.Moreover, you have to know that there were so many bandits in China at that time, you got a large group of Yankees to drill the ravines everywhere, met bandits, and if something happened, who would take responsibility?In addition, things like sticking incendiary bombs to bats are best done by the Chinese.

And such large-scale activities would be completely impossible without the cooperation of the Chinese government.Therefore, the Americans must find an excuse to convince the Chinese that the targets of these activities are of other types.

"What about the excuse of medicine?" When discussing this issue, Dr. X gave a suggestion, "Let's tell those Chinese guys that we found a biologically active substance in bats, which can play a role of blah blah blah. , It is very beneficial to the progress of the war. So we have to collect a large number of bats and ship them back to the United States after preliminary processing. Anyway, as far as I know, the Chinese medicine and biology are very primitive. They will believe it. In this way, there are people who can catch bats and attach incendiary bombs to bats. However, we must strictly isolate the workers who attach incendiary bombs to bats from the outside world. Will this bring workers What about the grievances of the family and their families, as well as human rights issues?"

"'Dissatisfaction of workers and their families'? 'Human rights issues'?" Ron laughed. On the verge of starving to death. For them, not starving to death is the most important thing. Other things are small problems. I am worried that the reason that can fool the Chinese can fool the Japanese. .You know, there is not much difference between what the Chinese government knows and what the Japanese know.”

"The level of the Japanese is higher than that of the Chinese. But in terms of medical technology, the level of the Japanese is not very good. They will believe it." Dr. X said, "Actually, if we say that this substance helps It greatly reduces the chance of trauma infection and promotes wound healing. Even we in the United States dare not say that it must be fake. Because in these two aspects, bats do have great advantages over humans.”

"Then let's find a few people and make a plan. Then, we have to prepare an advance team and go to China to arrange some things. I will arrange the military personnel. In addition, I also need some bats. Someone who is very familiar with the cave. Do you have a good candidate to recommend to me?"

"Yes, I have a friend named Bear Grylls. A very good spelunker."

"Damn it! Why does this guy have exactly the same name as Mr. Pei?" Ron said in his heart.

……

A C-47 transport plane flies smoothly over the dense rainforest.In the cabin, Ron and his team of experts were chatting.

"Is this the famous 'Hump Route'?" A short man who looked to be in his fifties asked, "It doesn't seem to be as scary as the legends say."

"That's because we are now taking the southern route. Compared with the northern route, although the distance is much longer, there are also many fewer snow-capped mountains to fly. Therefore, the risk of flying is naturally much smaller. As far as I know, On this route, the greatest danger comes from the Japanese fighters," replied another officer.

"But now the Japanese fighter jets are not a threat. The last time General Ron was here to coordinate the Tenth and No.14 Air Forces, after the crackling and fat beating, the Japanese air force in Burma has basically been defeated. Now, the Japanese airfield at Myitkyina has been under the pressure of the 14th and No.[-] Air Forces. There is simply no power to threaten this route anymore." An officer replied.

"Grandpa Bei, even if the Japanese come out, you don't have to worry. Others parachute, and they will starve to death below, but you won't. The jungle below is like a banquet hall to you. Isn't it? "

That little man was the cave expert named Bear Grylls, who had exactly the same name as the later Lord Pei.Unlike the 1-meter Bei Ye in later generations, this Bei Ye is less than 82 meters tall.However, as a cave expert, this Master Pei's experience in the wild, especially in mountains and jungles, is not necessarily worse than that of later generations of Master Pei.Maybe it's because he's been outside for a long time, this Mr. Pei looks a little old.At just forty, he looked like he was 1.Therefore, Ron's title of "Grandpa Pei" was immediately recognized by everyone.Now "Pei Ye" has become the special name for Bell in the group.

"Chaucer, shut up your crow mouth!" Ron said.The group of pilots is actually a bit superstitious. In fact, all high-risk industries have similar situations.They all consciously or unconsciously believe in omens, lip glosses, amulets, various patron saints or saints.

Before time travel, when Ron was watching Hong Kong police and gangster movies, there was a plot that always made him laugh.That's a gang of robbers planning to rob a bank.After all the big black stars and AK-47 were ready, before leaving the house, the boss greeted him: "Wait a minute, first come and put incense on Erye Guan. I beg Erye Guan to bless our brothers with a successful ticket." On the other side , I got the note from the informant and prepared the m-4 and mp-5. Before going out, the police officer who led the team would also say: "Wait a minute, everyone come here and put incense on Guan Erye..." At that time, Ron felt that It's ridiculous-who do you think Erye Guan should bless?But now, Ron has seen a lot of things that are almost exactly the same as this, and he doesn't even feel that there is anything wrong with him.

For example, many pilots carry a small cross with them.Every time before a mission is due, many people will take it out and pray to God devoutly.Pray to God that they will keep the Germans from hitting him, that he can beat the Germans like idiots every time he shoots... and over there, the German pilots will pray to the same God before they take off.

So, after telling that crow mouth to shut up immediately, Ron added another sentence: "God, please protect us from encountering Japanese fighter jets!" .This thing was given to him by General Zhou Zhirou, commander of the Chinese Air Force, when he came to China last time.It is said that it is made of the best old pit glass material.

Maybe it was God, or maybe it was Guanyin Bodhisattva who blessed them. Anyway, they arrived at Kunming Wujiaba Airport without any surprises along the way.

At the airport, Ron did not see Chennault, and it was reported that he had gone to Chongqing on business.But it's nothing, anyway, Ron is going to go to Chongqing early tomorrow morning.So I sent a telegram to the U.S. Liaison Department in Chongqing, asking them to contact Chennault.After all, Chennault is familiar with KMT executives, and it is more beneficial for him to promote some matters.

Soon, Ron received a call back, and Chennault said that Mr. Chang Kaishen was very interested in Ron.He can introduce him to Mr. Chang Kaishen and his wife.Chennault told Ron that if he could get the support of Mr. Chang Kaishen, his mission would be much smoother.
