Chapter 221: Safe Return

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The soldiers of the three companies and one platoon of the Sharp Knife Company, carrying a total of more than 100 explosives bags, ignited the airfield on the east side of the military fortress one kilometer away in Xiajieyuli, and let out violent explosions one after another.

In addition, the large arsenal on the west side of the airport was also ignited, and the explosion became more violent, which can be described as shaking the sky and the earth, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it with the four-character idiom "the earth shakes the mountains".

In the four improvised barracks on the east side of the airport, a total of more than 30 US soldiers fired with machine guns, leaving not even a single live opening, and after platoon commander Sun Lei led a group of 10 volunteer soldiers to withdraw from the bloody barracks, they did not forget to set a fire.

Not only that, under Sun Lei's prior arrangement, the soldiers of the second, third, fourth, and fifth classes not only blew up the dozen or so new US fighters parked on the north side of the airport with more than 20 explosive packs, but immediately turned them into a pile of scrap copper and iron.

The runway of the airport, which is about one kilometer long, has more than 50 nodes and important positions, and dozens of craters of all sizes have been blown up by fixed-point explosive packets, and it is completely impossible to take off and land planes.

What is even more gratifying is that the large arsenal located on the west side of the airport was ignited by several explosives bags used by the five soldiers of the airport group, and at the same time, the weapons, equipment, guns and ammunition in the arsenal also exploded violently, becoming a pile of useless ruins.

Suddenly, the entire huge airport immediately turned into a sea of fire with explosions, and Sun Lei took all the soldiers in the third company and a row of soldiers with their sharp knives, and rode along the east-west highway next to the airport in a military truck parked in the airport.

When the rapid machine-gun fire came from the airfield one kilometer away on the east side, it did not attract the attention of the American soldiers stationed in the military near Xiajieyu, who thought that the 30 or so American soldiers who were in charge of the airport guard had drunk a lot of whiskey at dinner, and under the influence of alcohol, they were shooting indiscriminately with the guns in their hands.

It was not until the sound of violent explosions came from the direction of the airport that they attracted their high attention and vigilance, especially the commander of the American regiment, Colonel Madeep, who was in his sleep, was awakened by the violent explosion.

Colonel Madip, the commander of the American Army, who felt that something was wrong, got up from the bed, quickly dressed neatly, and he didn't have time to comb his hair, so he immediately pushed open the door of the barracks and rushed out.

When he caught a US soldier who was on guard outside the barracks, US Regiment Commander Madip immediately shocked him when he learned from the US soldier that the sound of the explosion came from an airfield one kilometer east of the military fort in Xiajieyuli.

At this time, the commander of the US Army, Colonel Madeep, was both shocked and angry after hearing the report of the US soldier in charge of vigilance, and hurriedly ordered to contact the sentry in charge of the guard duty in the direction of the airport and use a walkie-talkie.

However, after no less than ten attempts, it was impossible to use the walkie-talkie to contact which platoon of American soldiers stationed at the airport were in charge of patrolling, and even if they shouted at the walkie-talkie in their throats, they could not get any response.

At this time, Madeep, the commander of the US Army, received a report from the scouts that the searchlights in the direction of the airport had been turned off, and as for what happened in the direction of the airport, they now only knew that the entire airport had exploded one after another, and as for the extent of the explosion and the cause of the explosion, it was still unknown, so it can be said that they did not know anything.

When questioned by Colonel Madeep, commander of the US Army, US soldiers who had approached to reconnoiter reported that the explosions occurred in the four directions of the airport, southeast, northwest, and north, especially in the north and west of the airport, where the explosions were the most violent, and the sound was the longest.

After listening to this report, Colonel Madeep, the commander of the US Army, suddenly felt half cold, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately sat down on the ground uncontrollably.

This was definitely a huge and heavy blow to the commander of the US Army, Colonel Madip, because he clearly knew that there were more than a dozen new US fighters moored on the north side of the airport, and on the west side of the airport was a large arsenal, which contained a large number of weapons, equipment, guns, ammunition, and military supplies.

Fortunately, unknowingly, there were continuous and violent explosions at the airport, and the dozen or so fighters must have been blown up, turning into a pile of broken copper and iron, which could no longer be of any use.

The large arsenal on the west side of the airport, which contained at least half of their regiment's weapons and equipment, immediately came to naught, and once the Chinese volunteers attacked, they were powerless to resist at all, and had to continue to retreat south.

In this situation, it was impossible to get close until the explosions in the direction of the airport stopped, and Colonel Madip, the commander of the US regiment who was sitting on the ground, was quickly helped into the regiment commander's barracks by the US soldiers next to him.

The explosion at the airport lasted for almost an hour before it gradually subsided, and at this time, Battalion Commander Major Smith, who was sitting in the military fortress of Xiajieyuli, sent his confidant, Major Smith, with two companies of American soldiers, in more than a dozen military trucks and jeeps, to the direction of the airport to conduct field investigations.

And Sun Lei drove a military truck, carrying all the soldiers of the three companies and one platoon of their sharp knives, and safely evacuated the airport, driving for about half an hour, and found that there were no US troops chasing after him.

So, Sun Lei abandoned the military truck on the side of the road, and it took him about an hour to return to the hillside five kilometers south of Xiajieyuli, where he was left behind with all the soldiers of the three companies and one platoon, and returned to the hillside five kilometers south of Xiajieyuli, where he joined the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju.

As soon as he arrived in the trench, Sun Lei first asked the soldiers in a platoon to quickly return to their respective air-raid shelters to rest in place, and he himself found the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju non-stop, and reported the results of the bombing of the airport.

After listening to Sun Lei's report, company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju both gave him a thumbs up, and praised him with praise and praise, believing that the task of blowing up the airport this time was very good, and when this battle was over, they must ask for credit for him.

At this time, Sun Lei took a look at the watch on his left wrist, and now the time displayed was 11:45 in the evening, that is, there were only fifteen minutes left before the time when the Volunteer Army attacked the military fortress in Xiajieyuli.
