Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "We are running out of fuel, and we will definitely not be able to fly to Zhejiang." A few hours ago, one of the B-25 bombers was on board.  Richard, the companion next to Major Kromlin, said, "How about we fly to the Soviet Union?"

    Every aircraft is different.  They don't know what's going on with this plane, the fuel consumption rate of the engine is higher than the others, so now seeing this situation, a simple estimate, they must not be able to fly to the airport controlled by the Zhejiang Kuomintang as planned  up.  If you turn north from here, you can easily fly to the Soviet Union.

    And one of their companions has already done this, and now they are flying together, and there seems to be nothing inappropriate.  But Major Cromlin shook his head.

    "No, we can't fly to the Soviet Union." Major Kromlin said: "Before we carried out the mission, our superiors had coordinated with the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union did not agree with us to land."

    Hearing Major Cromlin's words, Richard was very surprised: "Why? Aren't we allies?"

    "Although we are friends, the Soviets will never offend Japan for us." Major Kromlin said: "Although the Soviets have defended Moscow, the German army is still strong. At this time, the Soviet Union will definitely  They will not let themselves fall into the danger of fighting on two fronts. How can they offend the Japanese? If we land on the territory of the Soviet Union and the Japanese demand it strongly, maybe the Soviets will hand us over to Japan  people."

    "If the Soviets do this, it will simply destroy our covenant." Richard said.

    Hearing Richard's words, Major Cromlin shook his head helplessly: "You also have to look at the current situation, if the Japanese provoke the Soviets in the Northeast and act like they are about to fight a big war,  Then the Soviets will definitely compromise. If they are caught in a two-front war, the Soviet Union will definitely fail."

    "If we don't go to the Soviet Union, where should we fly? Are we going to fall into the area controlled by the little devils? If we are captured by them, there will be no good end." Richard said.

    "We flew to Shanxi." Major Kromlin said: "I know that the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi used to have an airport. Although the runway is a bit short, we can land there. When we get there, we will be protected by the Eighth Route Army.  Safe and sound."

    "No, you are crazy!" Hearing Major Kromlin's words, Richard immediately expressed his objection there: "The Eighth Route Army is very weak, and they still have an airport? If we go there, we must  will fall into the hands of the Japanese."

    Among the U.S. military, very few people are familiar with the Eighth Route Army.  They don't know how far the Eighth Route Army has developed, and only Major Cromlin has full confidence in the Eighth Route Army.  In particular, his confidence in the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi is even more troublesome.  Li Yunlong's name has spread throughout Shanxi.  As long as it falls in Li Yunlong's control area, what danger can there be?

    But now, Richard's objection also has his concerns.  Major Cromlin said: "In this case, let's vote together."

    In the army, talking about democracy is very dangerous, because the truth is often in the hands of a few people.  All the lower-level troops need to do is to obey, resolutely obey orders, and trust their commanders.  But now, Major Cromlin wants to promote the principle of equality.

    After he finished speaking, Richard shook his head: "There is no need to vote. You are the captain, I am just expressing my own attitude, but I will carry out your order."

    Others also expressed their willingness to carry out Colonel Cromlin's order.  Anyway, we are all comrades in arms on the same plane, so we might as well take risks together.

    Just like that, at the suggestion of Colonel and Major Cromlin, everyone decided to take a risk and fly to Shanxi.

    Soon, they flew over the Bohai Bay, passed through Tianjin, and flew to Hebei. As long as they flew over Hebei, they could enter Shanxi, which is much shorter than flying to Zhejiang.  But another danger has crept in.

    It was getting dark, they had been flying for more than ten hours, and everyone was very tired.  Even Richard and Major Cromlin were no exception, their eyelids had already begun to fight.

    After an unknown amount of time, the plane suddenly shook violently.  Major Cromlin opened his eyes, glanced at the dashboard, and then his face suddenly changed: "What's going on? Our fuel is about to run out now."

    After dark, the fuel consumption rate of their plane became even greater.  I don't know if it was a problem with the engine, or because of the unfavorable wind they encountered during the flight.  at this time heHis words woke up those around him.  Richard glanced out, and then said: "There are mountains below, we can't land."

    According to the original plan, after they fly to Zhejiang, the Kuomintang's airport will light up to provide them with guidance and let them land there.  Now there are high mountains below, how can they have a chance to land.

    Major Cromlin's complexion became ugly. It was his idea to fly to Shanxi, but now he has brought the big guy to a dead end.  Seeing that their fuel is about to run out, if they can't find a reliable landing site, then they will crash into the mountain because of running out of fuel, and everyone will die here.

    "Carl, where are we now?" Major Cromlin shouted loudly.  At this time the navigator in front widened his eyes, looked at the mountains below again, and then shouted to Major Cromlin: "We flew over a city fifteen minutes ago, if our course is correct  If so, that city should be Baoding. We should be in the mountains southwest of Baoding now."

    This is still in the Hebei area, and has not entered Shanxi yet.  There are mountains below, and it looks like it should be the mountains to the west of Baoding.  Major Cromlin felt regretful in his heart, but he didn't regret taking the medicine either.

    Suddenly, the plane shook a few times when it was started.  Major Cromlin turned his head to look out, only to realize that one of the engines had stalled.  Then the other engine was also vibrating violently, and it seemed that it was about to stop turning because it ran out of fuel.

    "Everybody skydive," Major Cromlin shouted. "God bless us!"

    There are five crew members on a b-25 bomber, although they have removed their machine guns and have no means of self-defense.  But the machine gunner still followed up, because the machine gunner not only had to operate the machine gun, but also the mechanic of the plane.  Five people jumped out of the plane in order. For them, this would be a trip with an uncertain future. They didn't even know what was waiting for them below.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
