    At this time, Wang Xikui was wiping the anti-aircraft gun with a quick rag.  The overall layout of the anti-aircraft gun is very similar to the enlarged version of the previous 13mm anti-aircraft machine gun, so Wang Xikui is very familiar with it.  At the same time, looking at the thick muzzle, Wang Xikuina was also very excited.  As the caliber increases, the power and range it brings also increase simultaneously, just look at the aiming ring.  The height that his anti-aircraft gun can reach is much higher than that of an anti-aircraft machine gun.

    While cleaning the machine gun, Wang Xikui said to the people around him: "At the Huangyadong Armory, the little devils came to bomb us from the sky. We could only use our machine guns to shoot at the sky. Later, we set off fireworks.  It¡¯s just that I fooled the little devil away. If I had this kind of weapon at that time, I would definitely be able to destroy a large number of the little devil¡¯s planes.¡±

    "That's right, you're right." Hearing what Wang Xikui said, Yang Song, who led the team and followed him out this time, immediately echoed his words: "The weapons of our Eighth Route Army are quite backward. Only our Huangyadong Arsenal  After it was established, the weapons became more and more advanced. Especially the appearance of this anti-aircraft gun gave us enough confidence. In the past, where did we have such things?  We can only stick to each other, and until now, we have finally been able to shoot down the planes of the little devils, even if they fly high above our heads, we still have a way to deal with them."

    Yang Song remembered his past again.  When he first met Qin Baoshan, Yang Song was forced to repair the airport for the little devil.  He still clearly remembers the situation at that time.  At that time, he resolutely killed the little devils around him and defected to the Eighth Route Army, and it has been like this until now.  Although he followed Li Yunlong's independent cavalry regiment and left Qin Baoshan, to him, Qin Baoshan was the one who brought him to the revolutionary ranks.

    In the past, Wei Dayong always followed Qin Baoshan out for activities, but this time it was finally Yang Song's turn, which filled his heart with great anticipation.  This time, I will definitely shoot down a large number of little devils' planes!

    He looked at the sky above his head.  Looking forward to that day coming soon.

    At this time, tens of thousands of kilometers away, the US Navy's aircraft carrier formation is also approaching the little devil's homeland. They will drop bombs on the little devil's homeland for the first time to let them know that launching a war will have to endure  At the same price, when they bomb others, they themselves will be bombed.

    With the sea breeze blowing, Major Cromlin was very excited.

    A few days passed in a flash, and the aircraft carrier formation was getting closer and closer to the little devil's homeland.  But just before the planned location was reached, the sound of an alarm suddenly sounded on the aircraft carrier.

    Doolittle's face was serious. After discussing with the commander of the aircraft carrier formation, he became anxious about his pilots and began to issue tasks.

    "We have been discovered by the little devil's fishing boat, and they are likely to mobilize the aircraft carrier formation. In order to protect the safety of the US Navy formation, we must take off in advance."

    After hearing his words, everyone's expressions changed slightly.  The b-25 bomber was originally not a strategic bomber, and its range was limited.  In order to carry out this mission this time, they need to take off from the aircraft carrier, which is a great risk.  Now they are asked to take off earlier, which means they don't have enough fuel.  Originally, they planned to fly to mainland China after completing their mission.  Landing in the Kuomintang-controlled area, if there is not enough fuel now, can they still fly there?

    "Put down all unnecessary things to hold more fuel." Major Doolittle shouted to his men: "Statue of Liberty bless us!"

    There is no other way, they cannot pose a greater threat to the aircraft carrier formation.  Under the current circumstances, the U.S. Navy still cannot compete with the Japanese Navy.  Now that they have been discovered, in order to protect the safety of the aircraft carrier formation, they can only take off in advance.  Bring as much fuel as you can.  The little devil's homeland must be bombed. If there is not enough fuel after the bombing is over, it can only be said that they are out of luck.  No matter what is ahead, they must make a breakthrough!

    At this time, the aircraft carrier formation began to accelerate. This is also a way for the aircraft carrier to release the carrier-based aircraft. The aircraft carrier sails at the maximum speed, which can provide the carrier-based aircraft with an original speed.  At the same time, the aircraft carrier formation will also turn against the wind and use all available natural conditions to help the carrier-based aircraft fly.

    On the deck, the planes are also getting ready to take off.  Doolittle's plane was in the front, so his runway was also the shortest.  As the person in charge of this mission, he must bear this risk.  After he takes off, the position where his plane is located is vacant, which can leave more space for the companions behind, and a longer runway will appear, allowing the companions to take off with more fuel.

    &nbThe rumbling sound of the engine reverberated on the deck, and almost everyone was very nervous at this moment. They opened their eyes wide and looked at Doolittle's first plane ahead.  I saw him slowly rushing towards the front of the deck and starting to move.  Wait until it's time to leave the deck.  The plane hadn't reached takeoff speed at all.  They watched the plane fall.  But at the next moment, it climbed up again with difficulty, almost on the sea surface, Doolittle's bomber finally climbed up.

    Everyone cheered, Doolittle's takeoff runway is the shortest, and he can take off, so the others must have confidence.  Cromlin's plane came in second.  Following the example of Doolittle just now, he increased the engine speed of the aircraft to the highest speed, released the brakes, and taxied forward.  Seeing the runway getting shorter and shorter, and seeing himself flying to the end of the runway, he held the joystick tightly with both hands and pulled it backwards.  So the bomber left the deck and flew up under his control.  He finally flew too!

    Behind, one bomber after another slid out of the deck and flew into the sky.

    When all 16 bombers took off, they formed a loose formation 240 kilometers long in the air.  With too much fuel, they had to cancel the formation flight, and those who took off first could not hover over the aircraft carrier and wait.

    In this way, each bomber is an independent unit, completing the air strike mission alone!  This is a serious test for every crew, but no one will choose to give up, 16 bombers, there are 22 backup crews, no crew members were selected, and there was no one who wanted to exchange them, but no one  willing to change.

    Of course, everyone is still extremely nervous now.  They knew how dangerous it was, but they had made up their minds.  They will definitely get the job done.  As for where it will fall after completing the task, that is a matter for later.

    At this time, it was more than 7 o'clock in the morning.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
