Episode 12 Bloody Battle at the Airport

The two main platoons of the assault team rushed to the officers' quarters a few hundred meters away, and the remaining one platoon was doing "aftermath work" on the airfield - controlling the radio in the terminal, preventing the Soviet radiomen from sending a distress call, loading anti-aircraft guns on both sides of the runway, and pouring gasoline on the fighters in the hangar...... At the order of the platoon commander, more than a dozen anti-aircraft guns were blown into scrap metal, the fighters of a brigade were turned into torches, and flames and smoke erupted from the door of the hangar.

These things are all major threats to the docking aircraft and must be eliminated.

Then, they pulled out a couple of military vehicles from the garage, took out the prepared ropes from the gliders, connected the planes to the cars, and then used the cars to tow the 12 gliders off the runway to free up the main runway for the four transport planes to land later.

But the real excitement at this time is still on the side of the officer's dormitory.

Since the officer's quarters are a distance of several hundred meters from the airport, when there is a pot of porridge at the airport, the officers' quarters are already on guard. The officers' quarters are inhabited by the commanders and political commissars of the airport brigade, and their quality, experience, and will to fight are very strong. Now, they quickly made the right judgment, and instead of rushing out to make a futile encounter, they set up two machine guns directly on the small three-story building, one at the window on the second floor and the other on the roof platform. Both machine guns, both Dzhegarev turntable light machine guns, were mounted on the front of the building, blocking the entrance to the dormitory building.

The Ming commandos had just rushed to within 30 meters when they saw several windows upstairs suddenly shoot out bright flashlight beams, and at the same time, a high-pitched Russian shout, followed by two machine guns began to spew flames. Suddenly met with a head-on attack from a machine gun, and the Ming commandos were immediately shot and fell more than ten people. The other commandos immediately lay down and returned fire with automatic rifles and submachine guns, dozens of tongues of fire also shot out, and countless bullets flew towards the two machine guns like water. After a few seconds, the light machine gun on the second floor was dumbfounded, and the gunner on the roof of the building was not shot because of his better concealment, but the machine gun also temporarily ceased fire.

Suppressing the opponent's machine guns, the Ming commandos immediately got up and charged, heading straight for the entrance.

Suddenly, with a burst of shouting, more than a dozen big men rushed out of the entrance of the first floor, some shirtless, some wearing white shirts, some not even wearing pants, holding rifles, bayonets, pistols, benches, knives, rushing towards the Ming army with a desperate posture, while shouting:

"Ula ——!!!"

The Ming army commandos at the front were only a few steps away from the entrance, and at this time, they were caught off guard, and they were hit by the bench and fell to the ground. Several commandos, who were also caught off guard, were also stabbed to the ground by Soviet bayonets and daggers, or were hit by pistol bullets. The commandos in the rear immediately reacted, and they hit with submachine guns, and killed more than a dozen Soviet officers and political commissars with three strikes and five divisions.

The commandos rushed into the dormitory, one with a submachine gun in front and one with an automatic rifle in the back, and the flare pulled open and thrown down the corridor. After the explosion, the entire dormitory corridor was as bright as daylight in the snowy magnesium light.

The commandos were divided into two groups, one group rushed directly to the top floor to control the machine guns on the second floor and the rooftop, and the other group kicked open the door from room to room and searched floor by floor with guns in hand. They all entered a state of high tension, neither daring to shoot casually, for fear of injuring fourteen squares, but also unable to react too slowly, otherwise they would die at the hands of the enemy.

For a time, there were sporadic gunshots and screams in the dormitory building, and the Russian shouts of "shoot or kill" and "where is the princess" came and went.

……

Dozens of commandos fought from the first floor to the third floor, and after a short battle of less than ten minutes, they completely controlled all the rooms and the entire officer's dormitory building.

However, no fourteen squares were found.

The commando company commander was sweating on his head. He grabbed several Soviet officers by the collars and yelled to ask where Princess Liaoyang was, and the interpreter next to him also yelled in Russian viciously, but the officers either kept silent or said they were not here.

The commander of the assault company raised his wrist and looked at his watch, it had been 31 minutes since he landed, and he was still 9 minutes away from 1:50. At this time, the answering plane should have circled the predetermined area and can call them to land.

He quickly ran up the stairs to the top rooftop, and took a flashlight to signal the airport runway a few hundred meters away.

Soon, on the runway in the distance, there was also the same flashlight and optical signal. The commando company commander understood that the runway had been cleared. He turned his head and commanded the radioman:

"Alright, call the plane!"

The radioman nodded, removed the radio directly from his back, put it on the ground, and turned on and called:

"'Zhao Qian Sun Li' calls 'Zhou Wu Zheng Wang', please reply...... 'Zhao Qian Sun Li' calls 'Zhou Wu Zheng Wang', please reply, over."

Soon, an answer sounded on the radio:

"'King Wu Zheng' received, 'King Wu Zheng of Zhou' received, over."

The commando radio officer held the microphone and said word by word:

"Osmanthus duck, osmanthus duck...... Repeat: Osmanthus Duck, Osmanthus Duck, done. ”

The radio said:

"'King Zhou, Wu, Zheng' understands, it's over."

The radioman turned off the radio, looked up and said to the company commander:

"The plane will arrive in five minutes."

The commando company commander nodded, took the flashlight again, and sent a signal to the side of the airport runway. A moment later, a flicker of fire flickered in the distance, and two slender fire dragons burned along the sides of the runway. That's when they marked the runway with lit gasoline for the transport planes in the sky to land.

……

Now that the retreat has been arranged, dozens of brothers will definitely be able to return alive, and the pressure on the heart of the commando company commander has been reduced by half. However, the target of the operation has not yet been found. They searched the entire building, but they found no fourteen squares.

The commando company commander planned to take the risk and extend the operation a little longer, so that after the transport plane landed, he would wait on the runway for a while, so that they would have enough time to search for Fourteen Grids. The risk of doing so is not small, reinforcements from the nearby Soviet army may arrive at any time, and it is light that they cannot retreat with their whole body. If the plane is broken, it will have to be destroyed.

But no one is willing to return empty-handed.

He sent a commando to the airport to give an order, and asked the team members there to carefully search the buildings in the airport, such as terminals, hangars, canteens, barracks, and places that were originally thought impossible to hold fourteen blocks, but now they all had to be carefully searched. Thinking of this, the company commander couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat from his back. In case the Soviets got nervous and locked up 14 squares in a barracks cabin, then now...... Definitely already killed.
