New World War II Eagle Strikes the Sky

While the restoration of the airport was in full swing, Ron had arrived in Cairns, Australia.New troops have been formed here.Just wait for the airport to be completed, and then you can fly directly there.

Cairns is the capital of North Queensland in northern Australia, facing the Great Barrier Reef to the west, and is a city that is like spring all year round.Ron knew that in later generations, this city was a famous tourist city.But now, there are not so many tourists in this northern city, and the people who come and go on the streets are mostly soldiers in various uniforms.

Today's Cairns is in the early summer, and the bright sunshine passes through the broad leaves of the palm trees and coconut trees next to the tarmac, and sprinkles a mottled gold on the ground.There is a row of reclining chairs under the shade of this large tree, and a group of people are reclining on them and taking a nap.Their army caps were thrown on the round rattan coffee tables next to their recliners, some with half-drunk Coca-Cola on them.

A group of people walked over here, and one of the guards ran the fastest.He grabbed more than 30 meters ahead of the others and ran to the shade of the tree first.

"Sir, wake up, wake up!" The guard shouted at one of them.

"What's wrong?" the man opened his eyes and asked.

"Captain, General Ron is here. This is coming this way." The guard said.

"What, didn't you say that you won't arrive until evening?" The officer said as he quickly got up, grabbed his hat, put it on his head, and shouted to the people around him, "Get up! Line up! Welcome!" sir!"

So, these people lying on the deck chairs also climbed up one by one, put on their hats in a panic, and then adjusted their clothes, some of them were still in a hurry to buckle their discipline buttons. [

At this time, Ron and others had already come to the front.The officer quickly stood at attention and raised his hand to salute Ron: "Report sir, Captain Henry of the 341st Squadron is reporting to you! There are 341 pilots in the 24st Squadron,

Up to 24, all here, please review the speeches! "

Ron smiled, returned the gift, and said to Henry: "I've seen you! Well, you were one of the first batches of students of the Reverse Cross? It seems that you have singled out me, right?"

"General! You have a really good memory. Student Henry is reporting to you." Major Henry laughed.

"Well, I still remember that you lost the bet on cleaning the toilet." Ron unceremoniously exposed Henry's scandal back then. "Very good, the boy is already a major! How many Japanese planes have been shot down since going out from the Anti-Cross?" Ron continued to ask.

"General, there are already 11 planes. It's a pity that there are no Japanese planes near Australia now. It's hard to find Japanese planes even in Rabaul. Otherwise, I can shoot down more little Japanese planes!"

"Not bad! Ambitious!" Ron nodded and said, "I came this time to give everyone the opportunity to shoot down more Japanese planes."

Then, Ron said to the pilots who were queuing up, "Has everyone rested?"

"Have a good rest! Sir!" Although the queue of the pilots was not neat, and some of them didn't even find their hats, their answers were very neat.

"Since everyone is resting well in Australia, we have to prepare for activities." Ron said, "A few years ago, Hui and I...ah, I was driven out of the Philippines by the Japanese like MacArthur. Then At that time, like General MacArthur, we were all eager to fight back to the Philippines. Is there anyone in our squadron who retreated from the Philippines like me?" Ron asked.

"General," Henry replied, "our team was withdrawn from Jakarta that year. But... But after several years of fighting, some of the pilots of that year died, some were injured and retired, and some There are still two old pilots in the team." Major Henry replied, he turned around, pointed to the two old pilots and introduced to Ron, "Old Tom, he has nine lives." My old cat. There is a record of using p-40 fighters to single out 5 zero-fights and retreating without any damage. There is also a wing that was knocked off by the enemy's anti-aircraft artillery for more than half a meter, but it was able to fly over the sea. Record of safe return flight."

Ron reached out to shake Tom's hand and said, "Yes, maybe you should draw a cat with nine tails on your plane. In Japanese mythology, this thing is the most vicious monster. Little Japan is afraid of him." kill."

"Well, okay, I'll get someone to draw this in a minute." Tom smiled. "It's going to be my mascot."

"It should be our team mascot," said Major Henry, and he introduced another old pilot to Ron: "This is Captain Royce, a quasi-ace, well, he used to rocket Sink a Japanese destroyer."

"Use rockets to sink destroyers?" Ron was taken aback. Rockets are powerful enough to attack tanks and other targets, but they are not powerful enough to attack destroyers weighing more than 1000 tons.Ron understood that it was impossible for Henry to brag here.So how did Captain Royce sink a destroyer with a rocket? [

"General, it's not that exaggerated. It's just that the Japanese put a few torpedoes on the deck of that destroyer. The rocket I fired happened to hit those torpedoes." Royce explained.

The torpedoes used by Japanese destroyers are the so-called "powerful 93 acid torpedoes". This torpedo is extremely powerful, and its warhead charges more than 700 kilograms.It has the outstanding advantages of fast speed, long range and great power.But there are also defects that the performance is not stable enough, and it is easy to explode.Perhaps the Japanese destroyer was loading and unloading torpedoes at that time.As a result, these torpedoes were hit by rockets. The 93 torpedo is in danger of self-explosion in a slightly violent shock. It is strange if it does not explode after such a blow.And a small warship with more than 93 tons was blown up by a few [-] torpedoes.

"Luck always favors those who are prepared." Ron said, shaking Royce's hand.

"My friends, I often dream about the Philippines and my comrades in the Philippines. I dream of going back to the Philippines. Do you want to go back to the Philippines? Do you want to teach those little Japanese a lesson?" Ron Raised his tone.

"willing!"

"Damn little Japan!"

"Fuck those yellow-skinned monkeys to death!"

The pilots were all yelling, and it seemed that everyone's morale was high.

"Not long ago, with the cooperation of the Navy, General MacArthur has returned to the Philippines - I think everyone has heard his speech on the radio. The brothers in the ground forces have already returned. We can't be too close AFTER! Our ground troopers took over an airport in the Philippines. That airport will be our first stop when we come back to the Philippines. I just went to that airport not long ago and I said to the guy who was doing the construction , 'you need to hurry up, you need to know, the navy guys have been fighting the Japanese planes there for a long time, if you don't hurry up, when we come, there will be nothing to fight!' They replied, 'we will As soon as possible, but you know, the Navy guys blew it up so badly that it's not going to be easy to fix'."

"Sir, the navy did it on purpose. They want to take advantage of the decline in the level of Japanese pilots to quickly score!" Henry interjected.

"Sir, is it true that we have no enemy planes after we pass by?" A pilot asked.

"If you want to do this, you might as well stay in Australia."

"No, the Navy's aircraft has a fatal flaw compared to ours, that is, their range cannot compare with ours. With the auxiliary fuel tank, we can fly from Wright Island to Shanghai to find Japanese aircraft. At most, the Navy can only It can only clean up the Japanese planes near Wright Island." Ron said.

"However, I think it's best to leave these to us. Royce is okay, he is only one plane away from the ace. I am still five planes away!" A pilot said such a sentence.

"We will be able to return to the Philippines in a week, at most. However, we still have a task to adapt to a new type of aircraft—the P-81 fighter..." Ron finally said.

……

A week later, Ron was informed that the airfield was almost ready for his first fighter squadron to fly over.Although at this time, the personnel of the fighter squadron who gave themselves the nickname "Nine-tailed Cat" have not fully adapted to the heavy fighter P-81-compared to the P-38 they are used to, this thing rolls Too fast, head up too fast, climb too fast, and the hovering is too bad - but the pilots in the team are also veterans, although they can't fully master this fighter in a few days, but the basic take-off and landing and flying are no longer a problem up.The airport on Wright Island finally became lively again.
