It has been adhered to the fourth day, the original appearance of the Dushan position has not seen the original appearance. The proportion of the National Army's casualties has exceeded 70 %. It is almost everyone's injury. People rushed to the position, but Sean and two American journalists, Lin Xiaotang still sent someone to protect them in the safest place.

There is no good tree on the Gufengling Ridge. The bare rocks are beaten by the shells of the shells. The position is full of a kind of grass and white flavor. The temperature is as high as early summer.

Yu Lianchang carefully helped Lin Xiaotang bandage the wounds on his arms. This was scratched by the shrews in the Japanese army in the early morning of the morning. There are several wounds like this Lin Xiaotang. A piece of fragment was hit, but the whole day was not sitting or not. You could only keep a prone posture.

When I got up early in the morning today, the air was filled with a strong humidity. The clouds in the sky were dark. Experienced veterans said that this is going to rain. Lin Xiaotang's heart can't help but fight. Fighting the nearly 8,000 elite Japanese troops with one thousand people, most of the casualties, even ammunition and food have begun to be nervous. If it wasn't for the raid of the Toda Federation and seized a large number of supplies, I am afraid that at this time it was already the food. Never, can only fight with the little devil.

Looking at the dark sky, Lin Xiaotang's heart is heavy. Now what the defenders need to be urgently needed to get necessary supplements. Originally, he hoped that his plans would increase the importance of Americans' attention to the Devar Defense Line. Air contributions to Dishan in the air, but now it seems that even if Americans are willing to help, the current weather conditions are not allowed to do so.

And he had previously ordered Lao Zhao to prepare, but now it is also close to the end. The defense line is fifty meters away from open space. The grass is covered with grass medicine like weeds. For a few days, Lin Xiaotang has been observing the wind direction in the mountain. Wait, wait for the right wind direction, and then give the Japanese for a fatal blow, but the weather is still the weather. If it really rains, then his plan will be delayed at least one or two days. Perhaps at that time, Dushan has fallen.

Tom Hanks stepped forward from the trenches next to him and climbed into the trenches where Lin Xiaotang was located. He wore a steel helmet of the national soldiers. His helmet was blown up by the Japanese grenade yesterday, and his head was also planned. Fortunately, he did not hurt the key, but his head was a bit big. The steel helmets of the National Army could only cover half of his head, exposing the gauze wrapped on his head, which seemed uncomfortable.

"Tang, you seem to have something to worry about." Tom Hanks saw Lin Xiaotang's eyebrows tightly twisted together, "Can you tell me?"

After a few days of getting along, Lin Xiaotang found that Tom Hanks is actually a very responsible, and at the same time fighting experience and his rich veterans. According to him, he has been in the army for ten years. Countless battles, recently, because the U.S. Air Force in China lacked airborne troops, he transferred him to the Chinese battlefield. I did not expect to receive such a difference.

Lin Xiaotang told Tom Hanks exactly what he thought and worried about. After hearing this, Tom Hanks chewed on the cigar that he had smoked for three days and only had a short section left, and said to Lin Xiaotang with a smile: "Tang, you

I'm surprised. Your ideas are very comprehensive and you have great potential as a field commander. Your worries are not unreasonable, but you underestimate the capabilities of the US Air Force, especially those of the 14th Air Force and our Sino-US mixed flying group.

The abilities of a madman.”

Tom Hanks smacked his lips and said, as if he was savoring the last aroma of the cigar. Lin Xiaotang learned from his bad breath and cigar smell that the original American Air Volunteer Corps had been reorganized into the Tenth Air Force of the United States Army.

23rd Brigade,

An aviation base was established in Suichuan, Jiangxi Province. Later, the 23rd Air Force merged with the 16th Fighter Squadron of the U.S. Air Force originally stationed in China to form the U.S. Army's Fourteenth Air Force, with Zhijiang, Hunan as the air force base, under the unified command of Chennault.

The "group of lunatics" that Tom Hanks refers to refers to a group of U.S. military pilots from the original Fourteenth Air Force, also known as the Flying Tigers. The reason why they say this is because they created a miracle in the history of the development of the human air force.

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, with the onslaught of the Japanese army, the Philippines and Singapore fell one after another, and Hong Kong and Myanmar were also in danger. The Japanese army began to carry out comprehensive bombing of the Burma Highway, which temporarily caused transportation disruption.

Therefore, in addition to assisting in the establishment of the Chinese Air Force and fighting against Japan, the Fourteenth Air Force also shouldered the task of flying over the Himalayas to pick up strategic supplies from India to China. This route was known as the "Hump Route."

The route is more than 800 kilometers long and crosses the Himalayas. The altitude of the mountains along the route ranges from 4,500 meters to 5,500 meters, with the highest altitude reaching 7,000 meters. When the plane passes here, it cannot reach the flying height at all and can only cross along the mountain range.

Among them, the airflow in the valley changes abnormally and violently, often causing

Causes aircraft equipment and instruments to malfunction; in the event of an accident, there is no flat ground to land on. Even if the pilot parachutes, he will fall into the uninhabited primitive jungle and be difficult to survive. In addition, the interception of Japanese aircraft will also pose a huge threat to the transport aircraft.

, so this route is a veritable "death route".

The "Hump Route" passes through tropical rainforests, mountain snow peaks, canyons and glaciers, cold zone primeval forests and other landforms, and passes through areas occupied by the Japanese army. Strong airflow, low pressure, hail and frost are the risks that aircraft must face when flying.

danger, plane crash

The accident rate is astonishingly high. Some pilots said that when the weather is clear, they can fly in the valley along the reflection of the debris of the previous crashed aircraft. They gave this valley that is littered with the wreckage of their comrades’ planes a metallic and cold name.

It's called "Aluminum Valley".

In this short period of time, the Chinese and American air forces transported 200,000 tons of strategic materials to the Chinese battlefield through this route. However, the air force also lost hundreds of aircraft and more than 300 people died, not to mention the missing persons.

It is conceivable that as this route continues to operate, more pilots will pay the price with their lives, but it is this "death route" that, in addition to the Burma Highway, has become the basis for maintaining China's Anti-Japanese War.

An important life supply line.

The "lunatics" in Tom Hanks's mouth are the pilots who participated in the "Hump Route" transportation. It has to be said that they created a miracle in the history of aircraft transportation. Tom Hanks sighed and said: "Don, please believe it." I, those crazy people, don’t have a sky they can’t fly in, and they don’t need to act based on God’s face.”

Suddenly, the smile on Tom Hanks' face froze. He pressed his hand down and shouted, "Quiet." This startled Lin Xiaotang, Datou and others who were listening attentively to his story. Lin Xiaotang had just He quickly made a gesture to order the soldiers on the position to keep quiet.

What was extremely discordant was a command soldier who stumbled from behind the position. He rolled and crawled towards Lin Xiaotang, but fell down beside Lin Xiaotang without paying attention. Before anyone could help him, the soldier fell down. He raised his earth-covered face with an ecstatic expression and raised a letterhead in his hand towards Lin Xiaotang, "Sir, the US military is calling."

Lin Xiaotang tremblingly took the letter signed. There were only nine words on it: "Dear Tom, the madman is here."

Tom Hanks on the side opened his mouth wide, "These crazy people, they are really here."

In the cabin of the huge US military C47 transport aircraft, the roar could almost burst a person's eardrums, but the three US military pilots in the cockpit didn't pay attention at all. They chewed gum in their mouths and flew the aircraft skillfully. Flexibly travel through the clouds.

A pilot looked out the window and said, "Hey, Kobe, the reaction of the Japanese monkeys is quite slow. Until now, no planes have been arranged to intercept."

Co-pilot Kobe responded casually: "O'Neal, I think you must still be awake from yesterday's wine. Are you daydreaming? In such bad weather, except for us, those Japanese monkeys may not even dare to go out of their homes. , even if they come, there are guys from the Adam and Eve Squadron and the Hells Angels Squadron waiting to entertain them, and I will beat their monkey butts to pieces."

After speaking, he laughed and bumped fists with O'Neill and a US military officer behind him.

O'Neill seemed to have thought of something, "Captain Parker, are you ready with the gift for Old Tom?"

Officer Parker nodded with a smile on his face, "Of course, a box of cigars and a signed photo of Miss Vera Lynn (American star during World War II, known as Britney Spears) in her swimsuit."

Bryant pretended to frown, "Oh, Captain Parker, you remembered wrongly, poor old Tom likes Miss Frances Langford (American star during World War II)."

Parker looked enigmatic, "What do you know? My Chinese friends told me that old cows like to eat young grass."

The three of them laughed strangely.

"Also," Parker said with a wicked smile, "I also prepared a dozen underwear for Old Tom."

"Why." Kobe and O'Neal asked curiously at the same time.

Parker looked at the transport cabin at the back and lowered his voice, "A few nights ago, at around two o'clock, I got up to go to the bathroom, and unexpectedly found Old Tom washing his underwear."

O'Neal and Kobe Bryant screamed at the same time, "Oh, no, poor old Tom, he must be under the quilt..., oh, God, it's so pitiful."

Parker continued: "So, I prepared a dozen for him. Don't let your Chinese friends see Old Tom's jokes."

In the cockpit, it was occupied by the laughter of silver.

Under the sky, the rear of the Dezhan Defense Line, a huge black smoke pillar rises in the air.

Half an hour later, after the U.S. fighter aircraft shot down two Japanese aircraft, it protected the long -standing long -term growth of the transport aircraft formation.

In the trenches, Tom Hanks looked at the gift in front of him, and had to open the letter paper in his hand.

"My dear Tom, I'm glad you can see this letter. First of all, we all miss you, so quickly solve the annoying Japanese monkeys and return to us with the guy of Sean. O'Neal got two bottles of good wine, which is the private collection of Chiefs Chen Nade. We are waiting for you to come back to share together. The most important thing is that everyone has to squat together. "

"With your favorite cigar with the package, this is the gift we all given to you. As for the panties, you will make you sleep well. You don’t have to get up in the middle of the night to wash your underwear. Miss Lynch will also be happy to help you. "
