Chapter 160 Air Dominance

I am not familiar with the Wild Man Mountain? Then let’s talk about it after getting familiar. Find a high slope to go up a tree. Lei Zhenyun tied a platform for himself with some wooden sticks and vines on the tree. He stood on it and started looking around with a telescope. What he was looking for was also relatively hidden flowing water, so some of the things you can see at a glance were temporarily excluded, and the terrain was the terrain. If you want to build a hiding place for thousands or eight hundred people, it would be unrealistic to dig it out with a hammer pick on the mountain.

Even if you use the current explosives, it is not easy to get such a place, let alone in the late Ming Dynasty, and there is not even a single explosive.

Standing on the top of the tree, Lei Zhenyun looked around with all his body pouring in. There was a place like that. He silently recorded that place and prepared to go over and check it out on the spot. But at this moment, Lei Zhenyun suddenly heard a roar coming from his head. When he raised his head, he found that just above his head, a black dot was getting louder and louder with the roar.

It was broken, it should be the Japanese reconnaissance plane. In order to pursue the troops that were drilling into the mountains, the Japanese aircraft would take off and search back and forth over the Wild Man Mountain as soon as it dawns. Once it was discovered, it would shoot bombs at a low altitude.

Lei Zhenyun cursed the Japanese, grabbed the branches and jumped under the tree. At this moment, a dense gunshot came from the top of his head. After Lei Zhenyun landed on the ground, he quickly rolled in a row, but what surprised him was that no bullet was shot from above.

Could it be that they were all blocked by leaves? This is impossible. The smallest bullets on the aircraft are the level of heavy machine guns, and they are not something that leaves can block. What is this situation? Where did the bullets come?

Before he could figure out what was going on, there was a dense sound of gunfire above his head, but a bullet still did not fall. Lei Zhenyun looked up at the sky, but the tree layer above his head was too dense and he could not see anything, but the gunfire and the roar of the plane became louder and louder. Lei Zhenyun bit his teeth and had to climb onto the tree again.

If he was shot by a machine gun on the plane at this time, it would be too unlucky. He would not feel at ease if he didn't climb up to see it. When he climbed to the top of the tree, he realized that it turned out that the air above his head was not a plane, but four, flying up and down in the air and fighting.

Two of the four aircraft are large transport aircraft, and they have already emitted thick black smoke, but judging from the flight posture, it is quite stable, and it seems that they have not been hit to the point of being hit.

The remaining two aircraft, one is the Japanese Type Zero that he often sees, and the other one is very good at looking at it. One aircraft actually has two fuselages.

From the paint of the strange plane, he could recognize that it was an American plane, but it was completely different from the American Flying Tigers he usually saw in promotional pictures.

Lei Zhenyun didn't know what kind of plane it was, but the other party was fighting with the Japanese in the Zero Type, so he must be a friend. Lei Zhenyun had long hated him for the Zero Type.

The twin-plane seems to be in poor condition at the moment. It has not emitted black smoke, but it does not fire and fight back. It keeps changing from being rear-ended by the opponent. However, it is caught up again after a while, and then gets rid of it. Lei Zhenyun is dazzled but confused. He doesn't fight back, why doesn't he run away?

Is it because the Zero-Ship Flying fast without the Japanese? Lei Zhenyun didn't know why the American plane didn't run, but was about to help him. At this time, he was extremely regretful, so why didn't he come over with a 38 gun? The hundreds of styles in his hand were a bit inadequate to do this work.

Lei Zhenyun was trained to shoot airplanes with guns on the ground, which was effective, but the effect was minimal. Therefore, after a while of training in the early stage, the senior management did not allow soldiers to do this again. It was too wasteful of ammunition and could not afford it now.

If you are using the Type 38, you will definitely have the hope of hitting the Zero fighter in the air, because both planes are not flying high and the Type 38 has a long range and can be completely able to hit. Although it doesn't have much destructive power when hit, it will definitely allow the other party to split the spirit, which will give American aircraft a chance to counterattack.

But now the hundreds of styles in my hand are not good, and the range is much closer than that of the 38 gun. Even if I can hit the target, it is probably the effect of throwing a handful of soybeans on the stone wall.

nnd, the gun cannot hit you, I will blind your eyes. Thinking of this, Lei Zhenyun took out the Japanese telescope he brought, adjusted the angle and shook it towards the zero-type in the air. It is now around 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The sun in the air is big and hot. Although the reflective effect of the telescope is not as good as a mirror, it also makes the Japanese driver in the air angry and look like he is about to catch the US military P8 in front, but the light beam shot from below is too annoying.

The light below was not strong, but when it shone into his cabin, the intensity of the light was magnified by the instruments in the cabin. The continuous interlacing of light and darkness not only made him look bright, but he couldn't see clearly where the needles were located, making him feel that he couldn't eat the fat meat that was about to reach his mouth.

In fact, the p8 flying in front is luring this Zero to prevent it from chasing the two injured US transport planes. The one who drove this p8 was Tom Lynch, the famous American Flight Force.

Lynch is one of the two major flight aces of the US military who were authorized to fight freely at any time during the Pacific War. Today he is flying the newly shipped P8 for flight tests, so he will be familiar with this newly shipped fighter.

Lynch just arrived in India shortly after he was one of the few pilots sent by the US government. His mission is to test the combat effectiveness of this P8 in the tropical regions so as to collect data for the large-scale combat of P8 in the future.

The strange twin-body fighter, p8, is extremely excellent, but it also has some fatal flaws, that is, the living environment of the pilot in the cabin is too harsh. Due to its special fuselage structure, the temperature in the cabin is extremely low because it is far from the engine, and the refrigeration system is too far from the cabin, which causes a strange phenomenon of freezing to death and hot weather. This is not an adjective but a real thing. In cold areas, the pilot will suffer severe frostbite all over his body after he returns. In tropical areas, the pilot will directly run into a heatstroke and coma in the cabin.

But without using p8, there are no other fighter jets available in the United States at present. The vast airspace in the Pacific region is only suitable for long-range fighters with a long flight radius, such as p8. The flight distance of the Hump route is too far. Once the US transport plane is dispatched, there will be no fighter jets to provide cover. This phenomenon was OK in the past, but with the defeat of the Chinese and British Allied Forces, if Japan builds several airports in Myanmar, the Hump route will be completely cut off.

The Yunnan-Burma Highway is blocked, and now the Hump Route is broken again. The blow to China is not just a shortage of supplies. China's morale will decline greatly, and Japan will not be able to be well controlled at home. In that case, the coalition forces in Southeast Asia and the US troops that are about to arrive will have even less life.
