Coquettish Rebirth

Tom Hanks and others were wondering why the United States had contact with the Flying Tigers, but asked their infantry to find that Ryan.It turned out that the Japanese army had launched a long-term air strike on the Burma Road at this time, and that Ryan, as a member of the Flying Tigers, that is, a member of the American Volunteer Air Force for China, had already flown a plane to participate. The battle to defend the Burma Road.

But during the battle, this man’s plane was shot down. Fortunately, he was fine, but he got an order to go to the end of the Burma Road—the end of the Burma Road—to take a trip to escort the aid to China that had just landed at Yangon Port. The material convoy hitchhiked back to the base camp of the Flying Tigers along the Burma Road.At this time, the Japanese army was frantically bombing the Burma Highway. In order to ensure safety, the convoy only started at night, and the radio was silenced. Under such circumstances, it was really impossible to contact Ryan.

Ever since, the team of Hanks and others could only drive a jeep and embark on a journey to chase the convoy.The Yunnan-Burma Highway has nine twists and eighteen bends. At the beginning, some people in the team were surprised that China did not have any heavy machinery, and how did such a highway open.In the end, they realized that China mobilized hundreds of thousands of ordinary people to lay such a road by hand.

The journey on the Burma Road is obviously not as good as an outing.In order to pursue them, they must also pay attention to safety, so they can only drive at night, and find a corner to hide and sleep on the side of the road during the day.Even at night, in order to prevent the deadly air strikes of the Japanese army.You can only drive without headlights. Under such circumstances, it is really easy to have a traffic accident!

They quickly caught up with several convoys. After some inquiries, they found out that it was not the case. It seemed that Ryan's convoy was still ahead.But at this time, they suddenly got the news that the Yangon port had been attacked and breached by the Japanese army, and a large amount of supplies in the port were seized by the Japanese army before they could be destroyed.At this time, it was really intercepted by Japanese bombers and fighter jets ahead.There is another Japanese pursuit in the rear!Even the fighters and bombers of the Japanese army ahead seem to be dispatched more frequently.It looks like they want to cut off the Burma Road, and then let the Japanese army behind them take them all in one pot!

In desperation, Tom Hanks and others could only rush day and night to find the guy named Ryan before the Japanese army caught up with them.But when they were about to catch up with Ryan's team, something unexpected happened—when they had already arrived in China.Just arrived at the west side of the Nu River.When I first saw some of the airports and bases of the Flying Tigers.The Japanese army behind them was actually not far from here.I saw that these bases and airports were in chaos everywhere—there was no good defensive position to defend the west of the Nu River, but if they crossed the Nu River.However, the Nu River can be used as a natural moat for defense.

So the Flying Tigers decided to take self-destruct measures to prevent the Japanese from using these airports and bases.All of a sudden, the west side of the Nujiang River burst into flames. The ground of the airport was blasted, and the hangar was also burned or blasted. Some planes waiting for maintenance that were too late to transfer were also blown up one after another!

At this moment, the vanguard of the Japanese army had arrived in front of the squadron's position on the west side of the Nujiang River. They will desperately stop the Japanese army from buying time for the US to retreat!Seeing the allied friendship of the Chinese army, Tom Hanks and others hurriedly helped the mechanics, pilots and others to evacuate. Who knew that the Japanese army broke through the squadron's position not long after they passed the bridge!Seeing that they were about to rush to the bridge, the Chinese bridge guard team who had helped evacuate before this time still unexpectedly chose to blow up the bridge, while they themselves stayed on the west side of the Nu River.While the bridge was being blown up, these Chinese Communists took their guns or their knives and launched a suicidal charge at the swarming Japanese army...

Next, this is the offensive and defensive battle between the two sides across the Nu River.The two sides exchanged shells across the Nu River. At the same time, the remaining planes of the Flying Tigers continued to fly over the Nu River, fighting with the Japanese planes.It is simply that not many Japanese planes were sent over, and the Flying Tigers quickly gained the upper hand. Next, the Flying Tigers, which had control of the air, bullied the Japanese ground troops on the other side of the river helplessly. The Japanese detachment that wanted to forcefully cross the river for the first time was wiped out!

Nujiang was finally defended, and even Tom Hanks and the remaining team members finally found the pilot Ryan.But now there is a problem in front of them, although they have found Ryan, although Ryan is still alive, but now there is a problem that the Japanese army has surrounded China - the west of western Yunnan and the south of Myanmar have already It was conquered by the Japanese army, Vietnam was also under the control of the Japanese army, and the southeastern part of China was already occupied by the Japanese army. It can be said that Tom Hanks and others have no way to return to the United States now!Unless they climb up the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and then cross the Himalayas to India!

Soon, they got the news from Chennault that the United States and the Chinese government negotiated and decided to open an air route from Assam in India to western Yunnan in China to transport supplies.Maybe that's the only way they'll finally get to India and send this Ryan guy home.But it is conceivable that such an air route will definitely be blocked by the Japanese army!

At the same time, Chennault's Flying Tigers headquarters received an order to go to the province with "the most beautiful mountains and rivers in the world" to fight the Japanese planes flying over from Vietnam there.And Tom Hanks and others have to wait for the aces of the US Army Air Forces in the Indian theater to successfully test the hump route before taking them back.The days of waiting are very sad. Although the news that Ryan is still alive can be sent to the United States through telegrams, all roads connecting China to the outside world have been cut off now, and they will not be able to return to the country even if they live or die!

The news that Ryan is still alive reaches the United States and cheers the headquarters.Over there, an American ace transport pilot, Fox, was quickly dispatched to India. This ace pilot who had tested many new types of aircraft and opened up various routes was the No. 1 pilot of the C-46 transport aircraft to test the hump route, but Bad news soon came - he failed this time, the plane crashed into the mountain, and the ace pilot Fox died...

After two or three more test flights with plane crashes and fatalities, a fairly acceptable route was opened up, and the already incomplete team of Tom Hanks and Ryan could finally return to the Indian theater.They took the C-46 transport plane all the way to the hump route, and they flew together to protect them, and there were also several fighter jets from the Flying Tigers.After the plane flew over the Nu River, it quickly attracted the attention of the Japanese observation post, and the Japanese fighter formation came to violate the hump route!

The fighter jets of the Flying Tigers and the Japanese planes were tightly locked in order to allow the transport plane to leave as safely as possible, so that the Japanese fighter jets had no chance to attack the transport plane.However, the position of the Japanese army is better than that of the Flying Tigers after all, and such a formation of transport planes with fighter jets is too attractive to the Japanese army, so more and more Japanese fighter jets are added. Enemy four hands!

Even if the ace pilots of the Flying Tigers worked hard, after they were destroyed, there was still a Japanese fighter in the air, and this fighter was obviously coming towards the transport plane!After the Japanese fighter plane bit the transport plane behind its butt, it opened fire with its cannon without any money. Although their bullets did not knock down the transport plane, the bullets that hit the plane still took away several people in Hanks' team. people!

At this time, Tom Hanks gritted his teeth, and simply took a parachute and put it on the comrade who died after being hit by the bullet of the Japanese plane, and then "parachuted" the comrade directly!In this way, I want to distract the attention of the Japanese aircraft.Sure enough, after throwing down a body or two, the Japanese fighter plane obviously thought that the bodies were the crew members who had parachuted, and immediately began to straf around the parachute.

At this time, seeing that the plan was feasible, Hanks even threw the remaining two corpses outside.As a result, at this time, the pilots of the Japanese army suddenly found that the flight attitude of the transport plane did not seem to have changed, and after a closer look, they actually saw someone throwing people out of the hatch of the transport plane!At this time, the pilot of the Japanese army pressed the button of the machine gun directly at the figure.And Tom Hanks was shot directly!After he was shot, he hurriedly asked Na Ryan to hide with a parachute to prepare for skydiving, and on the other hand, he took his small self-defense pistol and shot at the Japanese fighter plane returning from chasing in the distance.

After the machine gun passed, the Japanese fighter suddenly turned into a ball of fire!Then I saw U.S. fighter jets passing by. It turned out that more than half of the short 800-kilometer journey had passed, and now the planes from the Indian theater came to escort it!But even so, the protagonist played by Tom Hanks was exhausted and eventually passed away.

Under such an order to let Ryan go home, 8 people including Tom Hanks sacrificed their lives. Is such an exchange really worth it?That's obviously the heart of the story.Spielberg didn't make any sensational around this point, and he didn't even have a lot of voice-overs to explain. Even after these eight people died, he didn't use a lot of pen and ink to describe the outside world's views on this matter. .He simply told such a story.This story is very pure, so pure that it makes people feel uncomfortable...
