The Type 96 bomber always maintained the same course and speed as the Douglas transport aircraft, but its position was slightly farther back to avoid being discovered by the pilots on the Japanese transport aircraft.
In the darkness, Xu Rui estimated the distance between the two planes and felt it was still a bit far, so he signed a sign language to a student soldier standing at the door of the cockpit, signaling Mei Jiuling to continue descending. Mei Jiuling received Xu Rui's call. After the instruction, the altitude slowly dropped again. In the high altitude, the distance between the two planes became closer and closer.
When the altitude difference between the two planes reached about 30 meters, Xu Rui used sign language again to signal Mei Jiuling to stop descending. After receiving the instruction, Mei Jiuling stopped descending and maintained the altitude of 30 meters. Due to the altitude difference between the left and right, it flew at constant speed with the Douglas transport aircraft below.
For aircraft such as the Type 96 bomber or Douglas transport aircraft, thirty meters is already the limit. If it is any closer, the turbulence generated behind the wings will interfere with the opponent. If this is the case, the Douglas transport aircraft below will The Japanese pilots will definitely find the Type 96 long-range bomber overhead.
And once the Japanese discovered their aircraft, they only needed to make a random turn to make the Douglas III transport plane and the Type 96 long-range bomber break away from the accompanying flight. Xu Rui's entire action plan would immediately come to nothing. Therefore, the thirty-meter Although the distance is not very safe, it cannot be closer.
Fortunately, the weather was kind and it was a rare sunny day over the sea outside Yancheng, so there was no airflow interference.
Otherwise, if there is a strong convective interference, the Type 96 bomber may even drop off a cliff and directly hit the back of the Douglas transport aircraft below.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Rui made a gesture to Leng Tiefeng.
Leng Tiefeng nodded and handed over a large crossbow fixed to one side.
Xu Rui used a cable to fix his body to the bomb release port below, and then raised the crossbow to aim at the transport aircraft below. Xu Rui aimed at the center of the back above the wing of the Douglas transport aircraft. After taking aim, Xu Rui pulled the trigger. , a heavy arrow whizzed down suddenly, pulling the rope tied to the arrow's tail and making a whistling sound.
After the heavy arrow flew out of the bomb release port, it encountered strong airflow interference and immediately deviated from the direction Xu Rui was aiming at. However, this was all part of Xu Rui's calculation. Xu Rui had left enough margin. , the heavy arrow hit the tail of the Douglas transport plane with a loud bang.
Xu Rui first pulled the cable tied to the tail of the arrow, estimated the strength, and determined that it was about the same. Then he immediately slid down with another safety rope. The moment Xu Rui's body slipped out of the bomb release port, a strong airflow surged forward. Swinging forward, the impact caused Xu Rui's body to swing backwards.
Looking down at the sweet potatoes and Leng Tiefeng, my heart immediately started to feel anxious.
In the entire high-altitude interception plan, this is the most dangerous moment!
At this time, if the heavy arrow nailed into the tail of the transport aircraft fails to withstand the test and falls off, or there is a sudden wave of airflow, or the Japanese pilot of the transport aircraft suddenly realizes that something is wrong and decisively drives the aircraft to maneuver, Xu Rui will immediately fall into danger. By that time, it would be extremely difficult for Leng Tiefeng and the others to get Xu Rui back into the cabin.
Fortunately, the heavy arrow nailed into the tail of the transport plane withstood the test. Although the rope fixed between the bomber, Xu Rui and the heavy arrow tail was pulled straight, the arrow nailed into the iron sheet of the transport plane's tail never It fell off, and it did not encounter strong airflow, and the Japanese pilot of the transport plane was not aware of it.
In the high altitude, Xu Rui's figure swayed suddenly, then slid down again after stabilizing.
A moment later, Xu Rui's body landed firmly on the tail of the transport plane! Then, Xu Rui quickly took out the prepared barbed dagger and nailed it deeply into the tail of the transport aircraft, and then tied another safety rope to the iron ring at the end of the dagger. With the two safety ropes, the safety system Greatly increased.
Xu Rui raised his head and pulled the safety rope hard.
Leng Tiefeng immediately came over to fasten the seat belt of Di Gua, and then patted Di Gua on the back of the head.
But Di Gua reached out and grabbed the iron handle of the bulkhead tightly, shook his head desperately, and refused to let go!
Leng Tiefeng didn't have time to reason with Sweet Potato. With a little force, he broke Sweet Potato's hands off the handle, and then kicked Sweet Potato into the bomb release port. Sweet Potato instinctively tightened the safety rope, and then wow wow He screamed and slid down until Xu Rui reached out below to catch him.
After Di Gua landed on the tail of the transport aircraft, he looked around and saw the tail fin very close at hand. Without thinking about it, he sat down in front of the tail fin. He first spread his legs and sat on both sides of the tail fin, then opened his arms and hugged the tail fin tightly. , like a koala hugging a branch, very funny.
The next moment, Leng Tiefeng also slipped down from above.
At this time, Xu Rui had already used a dagger to pry open the first iron sheet from the tail of the transport aircraft. Under the iron sheet was the welded aircraft keel. Because it was a military aircraft, there was no need to consider the appearance, so the keels were all solid. Then, Xu Rui pried open the second iron sheet with the help of Leng Tiefeng.
After prying open four pieces of iron sheet, a small hole appeared for one person to enter and exit.
Xu Rui couldn't help but grab the sweet potato with his hands, and forced it into the small hole. Then he used sign language to signal Leng Tiefeng to enter. Xu Rui entered last. Before entering, he untied the two safety ropes and successfully smuggled in by air. , they no longer need these two safety ropes as their last resort.
The cadet soldiers who had always stayed at the bomb drop port to pay attention to Xu Rui's situation immediately reported the news to Mei Jiuling. Mei Jiuling learned that Xu Rui and the others had successfully entered the Japanese transport plane, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. At this point, this The first air interception plan has been mostly successful, and the next thing is simple.
At that moment, Mei Jiuling raised the flight altitude of the Type 96 bomber slightly, but did not immediately break away from the accompanying flying state of the transport aircraft below, because the radio jamming equipment on the bomber was still working and continued to block the Japanese transport aircraft. Liaison with the airport control tower.
Let's talk about Xu Rui and the three of them. At this moment, they have entered the belly of the transport plane.
The first time he entered the belly of the aircraft, Xu Rui saw stacks of wooden crates and the skull icons marked on the wooden crates. Yes, these were the batch of instant fuses he asked David to order from the United States. ! It was these fuses that blocked the rapid leakage of airflow in the belly of the aircraft, so that the Japanese pilots in the cockpit were unaware of it.
Xu Rui ignored the sweet potato and brought the sweet potato this time just to let him feel the atmosphere.
Xu Rui winked at Leng Tiefeng. Leng Tiefeng immediately understood and separated from Xu Rui. Then he took out his dagger and quietly touched forward against the left and right walls of the cabin.
The Douglas III transport plane is actually not very big, and can only carry about 30 passengers.
Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng had not gone far when they faintly heard the conversation between two Japs. The Japs were very loud and could still be vaguely heard over the roar of the engine, but even Xu Rui could only From what I can tell, the two Japs were probably discussing why the radio suddenly malfunctioned
The Japanese pilots did not know that the radio failure was due to equipment interference. At first, they thought it was an abnormal magnetic field on the ground. As humans use radio more and more widely, more and more people have discovered that there are a large number of magnetic fields in every corner of the earth. The magnetic field was abnormal, so the Japanese didn't take it seriously.
However, after flying dozens of kilometers forward, the radio still could not be used normally. Only then did the Japs pilot realize that the situation was abnormal, and immediately sent two crew members into the cabin to inspect the lines to see if there was a line failure. Just now Xu Rui and the others What was heard was the conversation between the two Japanese soldiers.
Walking around the pile of wooden crates in front of him, Xu Rui immediately saw the two Japs.
The two Japanese pilots had no idea that death was coming, but they still stood head to head and were checking the radio lines very carefully. Without a moment's hesitation, Xu Rui immediately rushed out from the shadow of the wooden crate, with a flash of cold light, One of the Japanese's throat had been severed.
Almost at the same time, Leng Tiefeng also rushed out from the other side and cut the throat of another Japanese with a knife.
Xu Rui supported the Jaap pilot whose throat was cut off, letting the hot blood splash on the floor. After almost ten seconds, when he was sure that the Jaap pilot had lost consciousness, Xu Rui gently let go and lowered the body. on the floor, and then stabbed the Japanese pilot several times in the heart.
After stabbing, Xu Rui wiped the blood stains on the body with a dagger, and then played a set of tactical sign language to Leng Tiefeng.
Then, Xu Rui raised his right hand and started counting. Xu Rui first raised his thumb, then his index finger, and finally his middle finger. The moment Xu Rui raised his middle finger, Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng almost At the same time, they rushed forward and rushed into the cockpit of the Douglas III transport aircraft.
The Japanese pilot and co-pilot in the cockpit were waiting for the inspection report from their companions. They did not expect that two Chinese soldiers would suddenly come out. Then, two cold lights suddenly appeared in the frightened eyes of the two Japanese soldiers. Approaching, two sharp daggers were inserted into their throats.
The two Japanese pilots immediately fell into a pool of blood. They struggled slightly and then stopped moving.
In order to ensure that the little Japanese was dead, Xu Rui stabbed the Japanese pilot several times in the heart as before. Leng Tiefeng also followed the same pattern to ensure that the little Japanese was dead.
Xu Rui was still worried and went to the cabin to check again.
But he found that except for sweet potatoes, there was no living creature in the cabin.
After making sure that there was no fifth kid, Xu Ruicai returned to the cockpit.
At this time, Leng Tiefeng had already sat in the driver's seat of the transport plane.
Leng Tiefeng had flown a Douglas III transport aircraft when he was a student at West Point Military Academy. Compared with Japan's Type 96 land long-range bomber, Leng Tiefeng was more familiar with the Douglas III camel transport aircraft. (To be continued.)
