Chapter 37: Breaking Through the Blockade (Recommended, Collected)

  Soviet pilots who had fought side by side for nearly half a year at the base hugged each other goodbye, Ponursky and Harvey also held Sun Xiang's hand tightly, shoulder to shoulder, with their backs to each other. This is what it means to be a soldier, this is what it means to be comrades-in-arms, an emotion thicker than blood, the most sincere human emotion.

  "Bo Bo, Havi, I must go back to fight for my hometown now. Knowing you two is the greatest honor of my life and also the thing that makes me most proud. If there's time, please come visit China one day. If there's anything you need, as long as it's something I can do, I'll definitely help you out. This is my promise!"

  Bo Bo gave Sun Xiang a glance: "Needless to say? When the time comes, we'll go to China and see you. If you don't treat us with your so-called 'sharp head' wine, you're dead for sure."

  Hai Wei suddenly burst into tears, crying like a child. He sobbed and said: "Sun... Sun... I owe you one life... It wasn't your shout at that time... Wuuu... I gave up... Wuuu wuuu."

  Sun Xiang hugged these two close friends who had been together day and night, patted their shoulders...

  Sun Xiang and Shirley said goodbye to Norman Bethune and set off on the road back home. Due to the blockade by the Nationalist Army, traveling by land was not safe, so Sun Xiang's two-seat F4U became the best "travel" tool.

  Adding an extra fuel tank to the F4U made it easy for a two-seater to fly 1300km without any issues. The high maneuverability and speed of the F4U also left enemy planes with no way out.

  Upon hearing the news that Sun Xiang was returning home, the citizens of Madrid spontaneously organized a farewell ceremony at the airport, holding up signs such as "Steve! Defender of Spain", "Long live the hero!", "Wishing happiness to the national couple" and "Son of Madrid" to bid farewell to Sun Xiang.

  Sun Xiang and the aircraft maintenance team carefully inspected the plane, while Sherry also changed into her flight suit. The jacket, military pants, and combat boots looked particularly stylish on Sherry's beautiful body, making Sun Xiang's heart burn with desire.

  "Firebird makes final call to tower, requesting takeoff." Sun Xiang's voice came through the base's loudspeakers.

  "Clear for takeoff, my child, may the winds be at your back!" General Gómez's voice.

  The engine roars to life, the F4U's massive propeller generating tremendous thrust. The plane accelerates down the runway, a crowd of onlookers watching as it leaps into the air, dwindling to a black speck.

  The plane took off from Madrid Airport, still heading to Marseille as its original destination. The straight-line distance from Madrid to Marseille is approximately 1,250 km. After taking off, the plane headed directly for Marseille, France.

  To avoid the phenomenon of hypoxia in high-altitude flight, Sun Xiang stabilized the plane at an altitude of around 4000M, so Sherry would not feel uncomfortable. The plane took off for 15 minutes and flew over the Guadalajara area, where the two armies were still engaged in small-scale clashes, and flames could be seen flashing in the high sky.

  Sherry took her first cross-country flight on a fighter jet, excited like a kid, lying on the window to look at the outside world.

  The modified F4U has a bubble canopy, giving the pilot an excellent view, and the long nose of the original model was shortened by Sun Xiang because the aircraft used a smaller water-cooled engine, so there was no need for the head to be as long as the original one. This also solved the problem of the plane having difficulty landing on the deck! When the F4U corrected its shortcomings, this classic model will create even more and greater miracles.

  The sky in the occupied area is relatively dangerous, Sun Xiang saw a small black dot rushing towards F4U, and Sun Xiang reminded with a smile: "Dear, get ready, we're going to set off fireworks." As Sun Xiang spoke, the small black dot gradually enlarged, and from far away, it could be seen that it was a biplane model, Italian-made CR·32.

  At this time, the pilot on the other side also saw the shape of F4U clearly. The pilot did not even resist and directly pushed the control stick to start a vertical dive downwards, escaping directly.

  Sun Xiang also stepped on the accelerator, tightly biting CR 32, and Sun Xiang quickly entered the 200-meter range at a faster speed.

  CR-32 pilot: "Oh!!!! God!!!!! Calling tower! Calling tower!! Northeast direction 150KM, discovered a Phoenix Bird, solo flight, altitude 4000M no wingmen!!! Oh no! He's got me locked on tight! Requesting "Bald Eagle" to intercept ASAP, he's moving fast!!!!..... Ah...... BOOM........."

  Tower: "Lor? Lor?! You damned devil!"

  Tower: "All bald eagles take flight, at all costs... Ah... May God bless you to kill that damned Flame Bird!!"

  "Bald Eagle: 'Got it! Buddies, prepare for takeoff!'"

  Entering machine gun range, waiting for the plane to fill the entire windshield, the F4U's machine guns also sounded their death knell! The small black dot turned into a big fireball!

  Sherry looked uninterested: "Sweetheart, is this aerial combat? It's no fun at all. Just chase after them and press the machine gun button to end it."

  Sun Xiang's face turned black: "Because your man, I have too much reputation on the enemy side," Pirate "appearance is so unique, that guy lost his courage to fight back at first, being shot down was his fate, soldiers are like this, brave ones rule!"

  Xue Li saw Sun Xiang's complacent face, and snorted in response: "You really are self-proclaimed invincible!" But the smile at the corner of her eyes revealed her inner thoughts. Having a heroic husband renowned throughout the country wasn't exactly a girl's most beautiful dream?

  The fireball flashed in the sky for an instant before plummeting straight down to the ground, until it slowly disappeared from view. It's really enjoyable to bully people with airplane performance! Sun Xiang hummed a little tune with satisfaction.

  The sunlight shining into the cabin was slightly dazzling, and Sherry also wore a large windproof sunglasses. The two of them looked like a self-driving tourist couple, relaxed and at ease. The uniform speed of 500KM made the engine not even vibrate.

  Xue Li lay comfortably on Sun Xiang's lap, her head resting on his shoulder, and her ear rubbing against him, making Sun Xiang's face slightly red. The boldness of Western girls still made Sun Xiang a bit uncomfortable to this day. When they were being affectionate, Sun Xiang would feel a little shy, but Xue Li always liked to tease him at times like these, thinking that he was extremely adorable.

  At this time, a small black dot appeared in the sky, densely packed, and the luck was not too good. I encountered an enemy aircraft group, with at least 40 planes taking off. This must be a large-scale battle.

  The other side apparently also found them. Sherry fastened her seatbelt, nervously biting her lip, this was the first time she had seen so many enemies in the sky, and the oppressive feeling of the number of planes came rushing over.

  Sun Xiang smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, our plane's speed, they can't catch up."

  Xue Li's small hand grasped the back of Sun Xiang's chair, her fingertips exerting force, her lips slightly pale.

  As the distance drew near, Sun Xiang immediately discovered that something was wrong. The ones who came were actually the German "Bald Eagle" squadron, and a bunch of BF-109 fighter jets, these experimental models could fly around 540 km.

  "Commander! Wyvern spotted!" The wingman reported loudly.

  "Attention, everyone! Disperse and be cautious, don't let him escape! No matter the cost, we must bring him down this time!! For our brother's revenge!!"

  A series of "I see!!"

  "Sherry! Hold on, we're going to play roller coaster this time!" Sun Xiang quickly pushed the control stick forward, and the plane quickly adjusted to a climbing state.

  "Rabbit kids! Brother is Steve Sun, come and have fun with brother!" After finishing the wireless, he manipulated the plane to climb at an angle of almost 80 degrees.

  These Germans are scolding their country! Only after they finished scolding did they realize that the wireless telegraph had gone silent.

  A bunch of angry German pilots quickly pulled up their planes, the roar of engines in the sky, F4U throttle to the bottom.

  At nearly 1000m/min terrifying climb speed, Sun Xiang quickly opened up a distance with the German pilot. The closest pursuing German pilot saw his speed slowly pulling away and hastily fired his machine gun. The bullets flew past from behind the plane's rear end, missing this time, and this BF-109 lost its best chance to intercept Sun Xiang.

  One forward roll, and a scream from Shirley came into his ears. Without comforting Shirley, he pressed the fire button at the moment when the plane was about to wrap around this BF-109. Six tongues of flame pierced through the cockpit from above, and this precise timing left the Germans speechless.

  The plane then dove, Sun Xiang held down the machine gun button and swept out a burst of ammunition, predicting the flight path of at least four pursuing planes, the fire tongue whipped through three of them like a whip, in the midst of three loud explosions "Hai Tao" pulled out a beautiful arc and continued to climb upwards.

  "Oh God!" Wingman

  "How did he manage to... Colonel"

  After witnessing this scene, almost all German pilots subconsciously loosened their grip on the throttle. The F4U stunned the enemy with one blow!! Soon the "Pirate" disappeared from the sight of the BF-109 fleet, and when the Germans came to their senses, where was there any shadow of Sun Xiang in the sky...

  Sun Xiang leveled off after a minute of rapid ascent, and there were no more German planes in the sky. He turned to look at Sherry, who was taking deep breaths with her mouth wide open.

  "Hey, dear, it seems we're not very good at this civil aviation pilot thing, look, the passengers are protesting."

  Sherry forced out an ugly smile: "Don't say any more, I feel a bit unwell, my chest is tight and I'm having trouble breathing."

  Xun Xiang was startled, after all Sherry was a girl who hadn't received flight training. The string of actions he had just performed exceeded his own body weight by at least five times, and under the pressure of 5G, it caused Sherry to have difficulty breathing.

  The series of rapid climbs and rolls had taken her beyond the limit, Sun Xiang hurriedly lowered his altitude, and his speed also dropped significantly. After this sudden situation, Sun Xiang never encountered enemy planes again, he estimated that the commanders thought that even the fastest BF-109 couldn't catch up with him, so the base gave up trying to shoot him down. In fact, the truth was that the colonel of the BF-109 refused to execute the "suicide" order from the Spanish Nationalist airbase.

  The plane flew over Zaragoza, passed through Sort, Andorra, and flew over the Pyrenees. At Shirley's request, Sun Xiang lowered the flight altitude and speed, slowly flying over the mountain range.

  One hour later, the plane entered French airspace, and two French fighter pilots were startled. The F4U whizzed past from above their planes at a speed that their old-fashioned biplanes couldn't keep up with. They chased for only one minute before Sun's plane disappeared from their sight.

  The last plane circled Marseille Airport three times before landing, and the explanation of things was left to a sweating Drechsler. Fortunately, Sun Xiang and Sherry's popularity was high enough that after learning their purpose, the French Republic warmly welcomed them.
