Chapter 113: Dungeon The Battle of Madrid (End)
December 1, 1936, today is the eighteenth day of Ouyang Yu leading the army to participate in the defense of Madrid, in these eighteen days her army firmly blocked the attack of the rebels, the remaining half of the university town has always been in her hands, during this period the Comintern's newly formed international column troops have arrived in Madrid City to participate in the battle, the Ouyang Yu army, which has been seriously damaged in the battle, has been replenished several times, but even so, her troops from the four thousand before the war, to the present is less than two thousand.
At the airport outside Madrid, Ouyang Yu stood next to an I-16 fighter with a smile on her face, her hand on the wing, and there was a progress bar on the light screen that others could not see, and the slowly rising progress bar meant that she only needed a small amount of merit points to light up the I-16 fighter.
Ouyang Yu's air force has also been replenished several times, the first few times it has been replenished are all I-15 series fighters or other models, but this time the Comintern sent her more than a dozen of the most advanced I-16 fighters, when the system reminded Ouyang Yu that he could use a small amount of merit value, analyze the I-16 fighter to light up, she couldn't wait to come to the airport.
"Ding, the analysis is complete. β
Ouyang Yu's eyes in the purchase interface in the original gray I-16 fighter turned color, she hurriedly clicked in, and found that although it was only the I-16 of the whiteboard, there were still many accessories to be developed, but compared with the merit value required to light up the whole machine, it was only a drop in the bucket.
If the I-16 fighter was lit up in a normal way, the merit value required was sixteen thousand, but through sample analysis, it only needed four thousand, which was a full reduction of twelve thousand, saving so many merit points made Ouyang Yu happy for a long time, and a thought also arose in her brain, that is, to get more weapon samples, such as the third of the Vulture Legion, The No. 4 tank, the Bf-109 fighter and the Ju-87 dive bomber, Ouyang Yu's saliva flowed all over the ground at the thought that he could light up these equipment with only a small amount of merit points.
Back at the headquarters, Ouyang Yu called his own guard captain Ludendorff and gave him an order to seize the new weapons of the Vulture Legion, in order to drive those tanks and fighters back, Ouyang Yu recruited some German tank drivers and pilots, and the guards and these German pilots and pilots are all pure Germans, whether it is the accent of speech or some living habits, they are exactly the same as the soldiers of the Vulture Legion, and they are the best candidates to perform the mission.
At one o'clock in the morning of December 2nd, Ludendorff, who had changed into the uniform of the lost vulture legionnaires, quietly lay in the middle of the confrontation between the two armies with the captured weapons, and beside him were more than 40 personal guards, pilots, and drivers.
The time slowly came to 1:45 a.m., the calm night was broken by the sudden arrival of shells, the rebel positions were shrouded in dense explosions, and the frightened rebel soldiers all squatted in the cannon holes and did not dare to show their heads.
Ludendorff waved his hand to the team members behind him, and then jumped up and bent over and ran towards the rebels' position, Ouyang Yu saw through the command system that a group of green dots had approached the rebels' positions, so he ordered the artillery to stop shelling the area near the green dots, making way for Ludendorff and them to make a safe passage.
A few minutes later, Ludendorff and his party passed through the rebels' positions without danger, and the artillery bombardment of Ouyang Yu's army gradually stopped.
After passing through the rebel position, Ludendorff and his party were divided into two teams, the second team got into a stolen truck and drove towards the rebel airfield more than 100 kilometers away, the first team temporarily lurked, and the two teams would work together at that time, so as not to make the Germans alert and make it difficult for the other team to start.
At about 4 o'clock in the morning of December 2, after several hours of rapid driving, the second team finally arrived near the rebel airport, abandoned the stolen truck into the woods on the side of the road, and more than a dozen members of the second team lay in the grass outside the airport to observe the airport alert.
In 1936, not to mention the special forces, even the rudimentary special forces did not have a special forces, and the garrison of the airport, which was more than 100 kilometers away from the battlefield, was quite lax, and the members of the second squad could only see a patrol for more than 10 minutes, and there were only three or four searchlights at the airport.
The members of the second team of the guards crawled close to the barbed wire fence outside the airport, and one of the team members took out pliers and carefully cut a hole in the barbed wire, and the members of the second team rushed in.
After entering the airport, the team members quickly found the target this time, Ouyang Yu gave them the task of stealing two Bf-109 fighters, Ju-87 dive bombers and Ju-52 transport planes, as for the two are double insurance, in case one is shot down, there is still one, but Ouyang Yu knows the difficulty of the task, and there is no provision that two must be stolen, but at least one is still needed, whether it is one or two is up to the team members to decide according to the situation on the spot.
The defense of the airport was lax, and the members of the second squad decided to steal two of them back, so they began to get busy, and the apron of the airport was neatly parked with various types of fighters, and the pilots quietly came to their respective targets with the help of dark cover, opened the cockpit canopy and sat in it, but did not start immediately, because they still had to wait for the guards to make some arrangements before they could take off.
Eight guards dodged the patrol and searchlights, came to the rebel airfield barracks and pilots' quarters, they took out bombs and mines from their backpacks behind them, when the plane starts, it will definitely cause a lot of movement, these bombs and mines can buy them enough time, the guards move quickly, after completing all the arrangements, quickly evacuate, and meet with the pilots to start the plane.
The roar of the engines soon carried out a large number of rebels, and the airfield commander rushed out of his room feeling bad, but detonated the bomb installed outside his door, and the commander was blown to pieces in an instant.
The continuous explosions plunged the airport into a huge chaos, under the leaderless group of rebel soldiers, some rescued people, some extinguished fires, and more soldiers did not know what they should do, like headless flies scurrying around, the second squad there was very few people to care, and even if they did, they fell under the guns of the squad members, two Bf-109 fighters, two Ju-87 dive bombers and two Ju-52 transport planes, flying towards the airport of Madrid without any hindrance.
At the same time that the second team began to move, the first team led by Ludendorff also began to act, the threat of stealing the tank is much greater than that of the plane, as long as the plane successfully takes off, the mission is basically completed, but the tank still needs to drive back safely, otherwise it will be wasted.
The tanks of the Vulture Legion were not grouped together, but were parked separately in several camps, which provided a certain convenience to Ludendorff's task, and he chose as a target a camp closest to the front line.
At three or four o'clock in the morning, the soldiers who had been fighting for a day wrapped themselves in sleeping bags, snoring one after another, and the only few guards who were stationed on guard were either sitting or napping to the extreme, but it is no wonder that although it is close to the front line, it is also a few kilometers away, and it is not an important material storage point nor a headquarters, so it is like this.
Ludendorff walked from the street in a line of more than two dozen people, and the sound of footsteps woke up a guard who was dozing off, "Password." The guard asked without much energy, this place is far away from the front line, and the people who came are not hiding and are still lining up, he subconsciously thought that his own people had changed and asked casually.
"Soldier, I don't know what the damn password is, we just came down from the front, and a couple of brothers are wounded and need to find a place to lie down and let us pass. β
Ludendorff's authentic German accent made the guards relax their vigilance even more, and the guards looked at them by the light of the fire, their dirty faces, some tattered and blood-stained uniforms, and they really wanted to look like they had just come down from the front line, and there were still a few people in the team carrying blood-dripping stretchers, perhaps from the previous shelling, the guards waved their hands and leaned back against the wall to nap.
Walking into the camp, Ludendorff and his party found a hidden place and sat down, and after observing for a while to make sure that all the guards were asleep, a dozen of them stood up softly and walked towards the parked tanks, which were parked with eight No. 2 tanks, four No. 3 tanks and two No. 4 tanks, Ludendorff's task was the same as that of the second squad, driving two tanks No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 back.
In order to make it easier for them to go into battle immediately, the tankmen of the Vulture Legion slept under or next to the tanks, and Ludendorff made a few sign words and drew the bayonet stuck in his waist and walked towards the sleeping German tankmen.
"Poof. β
The sharp bayonet pierced the heart of a German tank man, Ludendorff covered his mouth, so that his screams could only hum in his throat, because the body was in the sleeping bag, the tank man could not resist if he wanted to, and opened a pair of eyes to see who killed him, but unfortunately in the darkness he could not see Ludendorff's face clearly, and could only fall into the infinite darkness with infinite regret.
The Guards were quick to attack, and all the German crews of the tanks they needed were assassinated, and the bombs they had planted on the two remaining No. 3s in order to prevent being pursued, and the No. 2 tank was not a threat and was let go.
The roar of the engines at the same airport woke up the sleeping German soldiers in the camp, and they looked in amazement at the six tanks that had suddenly driven away, and then the killed tank crew members were found, only to realize that they had been stolen by the enemy, and the camp officers called the command to report to the command, and ordered the other crew members to get on the cars and chase them.
"Boom...... Boom......!"
The only two remaining No. 3 tanks were blown up by time bombs, and the last No. 4 tank of the first squad, which had already driven some distance, fired several shells at the camp and strafed them, destroying several of the pursuing No. 2 tanks and successfully blocking the road.
Ludendorff's six tanks are racing all the way, the thickest armored No. 4 is one in front of the other, and the two No. 3 protect the most vulnerable No. 2 in the middle, the communication in this era is not as developed as in later generations, and the rebel soldiers have not been given the order to intercept, until they are close to the front line, the rebels on the front line have received the interception order, but at this time Ouyang Yu ordered the artillery again, covering the retreat of Ludendorff and his party, and bombed the rebels who wanted to intercept back to the anti-artillery hole or bunker and did not dare to show their heads, and the six tanks captured by Ludendorff directly passed through the front line and returned to Ouyang Yu's armyγ
When the sun came out in the morning, Ouyang Yu, who was very happy in his heart, handed over the captured tanks and planes to Commander Garneau of the international column, and Commander Garnold was overjoyed and immediately arranged secret channels to transport the captured tanks and planes, and at the same time handed Ouyang Yu a telegram that the great comrade Iron and Steel Stahlin wanted to see her.
