Episode 42 Soar into the sky

Although this Soviet captain is in his thirties and older than them, he has neither undergone any psychological training nor any experience in fighting wits and is not an opponent of the two at all.

His name was Ayuk Khan, and he was a bomber captain. But yesterday he got a new assignment to fly this transport plane to Moscow, and the first stop was Novosibirsk. It was supposed to take off in the afternoon, but a sandstorm came, so the mission was postponed to tomorrow morning. If the sandstorm doesn't stop tomorrow morning, it will continue to be postponed. It's just that tonight, in order to prevent saboteurs from sneaking in by the sandstorm, a pilot or ground crew is arranged on each plane to guard the plane.

That is, this one is not a bomber, but a transport aircraft.

Now, Fourteen Gege understood why she couldn't reach the entrance under the bomber at first, and there was a lock on the cabin door.

The transport plane looked large and had a lot of space in the cabin, but there were stacks of large boxes, each of which was fastened to the ground with steel cables, each more than a meter high, covered with canvas. Ayukhan said that the boxes were full of mink, and the best Altay sable skins were to be shipped back to Moscow for Comrade Stalin and the comrades of the Central Committee.

Fourteen Gege looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang and Wu Yanbin, and said with a smile:

"Now, do you want to go back to the mountains? Or do you want to take a gamble, hide here until the wind and sand stop, and go back to China directly? ”

Wu Yanbin and Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at each other, Xiang Xiaoqiang showed an excited expression, and Wu Yanbin looked quite nervous.

Wu Yanbin whispered:

"My lord, get the radio down and go back to the mountains! Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood! It's a game to stay, we haven't let it get to that point yet! ”

"Yan Bin said the same," Fourteen Gege nodded, "If you stay, you risk being caught." And I don't know if the wind and sand will stop tomorrow. If we don't stop for two or three days in a row, then we have to hide in the plane for two or three days, and the chances of getting caught are greatly increased, and we haven't eaten or drunk......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang groaned:

"The problem of eating and drinking, we let Ayuk Khan solve it. He's a pilot and a captain, so it's not hard to get some food out of the cafeteria. And no one in the wind and sand could see where he was taking the food. If he didn't want to help us get it, we followed him to the canteen to get it ourselves, and told the master that we were the guests of Comrade Ayuuk Khan, and that he had been covering us for the past two days. We're going to eat him anyway. ”

Wu Yanbin's eyes widened and he said:

"My lord, it won't necessarily be him tomorrow! What if someone else comes on duty? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang turned to Fourteen Gege and asked:

"What should I do?"

Fourteen Gege laughed:

"What are we afraid of, we all have guns, hide behind the box, look for an opportunity to kill him, and then it's not too late to get out. Anyway, there was sandstorm cover, so it was easy for us to get in and out. Even if we really scratch the wind and sand for three days and three nights, we don't need to be trapped here for three days and three nights. When to go, it's not like getting off the plane and leaving. ”

She was right, and nodded to Xiaoqiang again and again: Yes, as long as the wind and sand don't stop, the initiative is in your own hands. If the wind and sand stop, it means that it will be able to take off soon. Wouldn't that be better?

The decision was made to ask the guerrillas to talk to Ayukhan to Xiaoqiang. When Ayukhan heard this, he shook his head again and again in fright, saying that he would not want to do it even if he was killed, and let them go now.

Xiang Xiaoqiang pulled his face, revealing a hideous face, and another intimidation such as "traitor", "shot", "concentration camp", "whole family", etc., plus Fourteen Gege cooperated with Wen Wen on the side, saying that just turn a small corner, just turn east, and then you go to your Moscow.

After a combination of hard and soft treatment, Ayu Khan was about to collapse, his face was pale, tears flowed, and he begged to let him go...... made Xiang Xiaoqiang and Wu Yanbin unbearable to see it. But the fourteen grids still did not give up, and continued to attack.

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that you will go around to the east and turn back and go to Novosibirsk again, and the oil will not be enough? It's okay to fill up your tank at our airport. Are you afraid that time will not make sense? It doesn't matter, you just said that you met the Ming fighters halfway and managed to get rid of them. We will send a few telegrams confirming that the patrol fighter encountered a Soviet transport plane and ran away after some entanglement. We can also shoot a few machine gun holes into your tail rudder at the airport...... In this way, when you arrive in Moscow, you may be established as a flying hero with both wisdom and bravery. ”

After Fourteen Gege finished speaking, he immediately came over to Xiaoqiang and threatened him again, saying that he should not toast or eat and drink, if he did not agree, then everyone would be killed, and you should wash your neck and wait for the execution ground.

After saying this several times, Ayuk Khan agreed bitterly.

……

Now that it has been decided to risk staying on the plane, it is time to let these partisans go back. Just leave one person and act as an interpreter.

Unexpectedly, four of the seven guerrillas wanted to stay. The other three are all small families in the local area and can't give up. Xiang Xiaoqiang was dumbfounded. There is limited space between these boxes, so there is no room for so many people.

So, Fourteen Gege persuaded each other, saying that only one could be left, and the others did not need to worry, they had to stay and insist on resisting the Soviet army......

So "persuaded" three to retreat, leaving behind a guerrilla who spoke the best Chinese. After saying goodbye to them, the other six jumped off the plane and disappeared into the wind and sand.

Now, there are only five people left on the plane.

No one spoke, and the pilot Ayukhan just sat in front and cried. Xiang Xiaoqiang is only now feeling a huge tiredness. After a night of running around with all my life, I now feel like my whole body is going to be swallowed. He didn't say a word, and fell asleep with his head resting on Fourteen Gege.

That partisan was called Kandik. Fourteen Gege motioned for Kandik to go and talk to Ayukhan to calm his mood. Koudik nodded, reached over and sat down next to the pilot, patted him on the shoulder, and began to find a word.

After a while, the pilot Ayu Khan gradually calmed down, and began to talk, and the two of them chatted quietly.

Fourteen Gege saw that the current matter was basically done, and the rest was left to God. She let out a sigh of relief, feeling exhausted. Fourteen Gege gave Wu Yanbin the task on duty, and then leaned close to Xiang Xiaoqiang, and the two fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took for her to hear a loud voice and wake up immediately.

It turned out to be the pilot Ayuk Khan talking into the headset. Probably the superiors checked the post. Wu Yanbin and Kuandik were both staring at him. Ayukhan's tone was also normal, that is, a few simple words such as "Net, Net, Herashaw", and then it was closed.

Fourteen Gege was relieved. She looked at her watch and saw that she had been asleep for three hours. It's four o'clock in the morning. She stood up, put Wu Yanbin and Kwandik to sleep, and was on duty herself. The wind outside was noticeably quieter, and it wasn't howling like it had been a few hours ago. Now, through the fuselage and the airplane cover, only a small whistling sound can be heard, and the "rustle" of sand on the canvas. She had a hunch that the sandstorm might stop by morning.

……

Sure enough, by six o'clock in the morning, the sound of wind and sand outside was almost inaudible.

At this time, the radio went off again. Fourteen Gege stared at Ayu Khan, and Wu Yanbin and Kuandik also woke up.

Ayukhan took the headset and said nervously:

"No, no...... Comrade Major, I have no problem, I can fly today at all...... Yes, yes, no problem at all, I slept well on the plane last night and was in very good spirits...... Yes, Comrade Major, I understand that these cargoes are for Comrade Stalin, and therefore it is even more incumbent upon me to come and fly this plane...... This is my honor...... Comrade Major, I flew this plane the most times, and no one in the entire squadron knew the temper of this plane better than me, so as long as I handed it over to me, it flew safely to Moscow...... Well, thank you, Comrade Major. I'm going to have breakfast now. ”

He put down the headset, breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled:

"It's dangerous...... The business opportunity is almost about to find someone to replace me...... I took it by force...... Now, Comrade Major wants me to go to breakfast, and then stand by. The ground crew will clean the runway and will come up to inspect the planes......"

Then, pointing to the box on the plane, he said with some embarrassment:

"Maybe you'll have to hide in the box for a while, and I'll let you out when the technician leaves......"

After listening to the translation, Xiang Xiaoqiang and Fourteen Gege glanced at each other and nodded with satisfaction. Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled:

"Brother, bring us something to eat. I haven't eaten since last night. I'm starving. ”

Ayukhan was a little embarrassed, hesitated for a moment and said:

"I'll try my best...... Not necessarily. ”

After saying that, he came over and lifted the canvas, opened several wooden boxes, and let a few people hide in them.

Xiang Xiaoqiang saw that the box was not as he imagined, it was stuffed with skin. This top-quality mink is very valuable, it is wrapped in a soft cloth one by one, and then wrapped in an oilcloth outside, and only a few rolls are placed in each box, and there is still a lot of space. Xiang Xiaoqiang climbed in and lay down, just right. It's just hot.

Several people hid in the box, and then Ayukhan covered the box again and covered it with canvas. After checking it repeatedly, I got off the plane for breakfast with trepidation.

……

Only half an hour later, he was back again. Ayukhan was afraid that while he was away, the technician would come up and inspect the plane and find something that should not be discovered. So breakfast was devoured as fast as possible, and then returned with a few pieces of butter bread and two jugs of water. But he didn't dare to call out the people in the box, because the ground crew could come up at any moment.

Now the sandstorms have completely stopped. The runway is covered with a thick layer of sand, about dozens of centimeters thick, and you have to sink half a foot when you take a step. Now bulldozers are roaring down the runway, clearing the sand. A group of ground crews have also taken off the plane's overcoats and are checking the outboard and engines. After a while, several ground crews climbed onto the plane and began to check the controls.

The two engines roared, and the propellers spun very smoothly.

After about 40 minutes of inspection, the ground staff thought there was no problem and went down.

Ayukhan waited for nearly half an hour, until he received an order to stand by, confirming that this flight mission would not be changed, and that the ground crew could not come up again, he dared to knock on the wooden box and get Xiang Xiaoqiang and a few others out.

As soon as a few people came out, they were already sweating profusely. Mink keeps warm, it's really not blown.

The first thing Cuandik did when he came out was to take out a mink and spread it on the ground, kneel on it, and then use his compass to orient Mecca, and began his morning class.

Xiang Xiaoqiang and the other three sat on the side, gobbling up butter bread.

After a while, when Quadic's morning lesson was finished, he stood up, picked up Stalin's mink, slapped it twice, still wrapped it, and put it back for him.

Xiang Xiaoqiang and Fourteen Gege glanced at each other, and they were all tacit smiles.

I wonder if it will be a great irony to make a hat from this mink and put it on Stalin's head in the future. A mat used by a pious Mu-Si-rin for his morning service was made into a hat and worn on his head by the ruler of the world's largest atheist country......

……

At this time, the take-off order came over the radio.

Ayukhan sat in the driver's seat, watched the guidance of the ground staff in front of him, and steered the plane to slowly climb onto the runway.

Finally, there is an empty runway with a view of the end ahead.

The noise of the propellers suddenly increased, and the speed of the plane soared, and it rushed straight forward at an increasing speed, and finally it was light below and out of the ground.

Finally, it flies.

Xiang Xiaoqiang and a few others were all nervously relaxed. They leaned feebly against the box, clutching the ropes, looking at each other and smiling.

There was only Cuandick, and his face turned white with fright. Not only had he never been on a plane, he had never even been in a car. Now that the plane was climbing upwards, the feeling of sudden weight on his body and the squeezing of all his internal organs was something he had never experienced before.

He clutched the canvas on the box, his face as white as paper, and gritted his teeth.

Suddenly, he couldn't help himself, and cried out loudly, with a cry in his voice:

"Help! Help me! Almighty Allah——!!! ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang and Fourteen Gege laughed, grabbed the canvas with one hand, hugged each other with the other, and kissed to their heart's content.

Wu Yanbin also laughed excitedly, but his boss was kissing, and he was not good at making light bulbs, so he stood by the window and looked down.

Below is the smaller and smaller Dihua Airport. And the sky in the distance, the sky is clear, and the strong light of the sun hits the eyes directly.

At a height of thousands of meters, the crazy cheers and strange screams of several people echoed.
