The explosion was deafening, and waves swept through the forest, and Natasha, who was traveling through the trees, was also blown down by the wind. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The girl got up from the snowdrift, took off her steel helmet, and patted her head, which was shocked to the point of tinnitus, which was much more comfortable.

She looked up, and the direction of the airport was burning. "It's a repeat of history, and I think about a few months ago."

"Is it Kuta Town?" Igor asked.

"Yes. At that time, this is how we attacked and retreated in the forest. ”

"But this time, we were very small, and that one was indeed the bloodiest battle." Igor said that, in fact, ninety-nine people who participated in the offensive came back. That is, in the entire battle for the attack on the airfield, the Soviet troops completely destroyed this German air brigade at the cost of only nine casualties.

So how heavy were the losses of the German army?

The 2nd Brigade of Zemilman's Aviation Company, Captain Koch, who was very lucky to have escaped the attack and explosion. Many of his pilots and ground crews also managed to escape for their lives. There were more than a hundred of them, so they evacuated early, and when the explosion occurred, the shock wave did little damage to these people. It's just that everyone fell into the mud, and the airport was like purgatory, and they didn't say a word when they recovered, panting and watching the disaster scene.

No one doubted that the entire airport had been abandoned. All the planes must have been completely incinerated, and the explosion was so powerful that pilots with a little common sense knew that it was an ammunition depot that had been detonated, and their own aerial bombs had destroyed all their planes.

The most important dive bombers, fighters, reconnaissance planes, and transport planes, a total of 40 aircraft, were some destroyed by the Soviets early, and some were destroyed by the later explosions.

The blast also reached the oil depot, where the drums were crushed by the strong pressure, and the fuel sprayed out caused a deflagration. The burning of gasoline is even more striking, and its dense smoke is faintly visible even in the moonlight.

Koch was stunned for a long time, and finally said, "Brothers, we are really lucky. The report of the 715 Division is completely correct, these enemies are really too strong in combat. They weren't bandits at all, or stragglers. We have been attacked by them and have lost everything. ”

"But, we're alive." One of the pilots comforted.

"Alive?" Koch looked up at the sky and couldn't help but giggle. "yes, alive. This is my failure, what face do I have to continue to live? With that, he simply pulled out his pistol in grief and anger, and the muzzle of the gun was directly pressed against his chin.

He was about to commit suicide, and Adler was quick to see how quickly he pulled Koch's hand away. Shots rang out, bullets hit trees.

"Captain! You are crazy! At this time, Adler couldn't estimate that much, and he simply gave Koch a slap. This slap finally woke him up.

Adler shouted, "You are acting cowardly. We're still in the danger zone right now, and if you die, what are we going to do? Shall we go to be prisoners of the Soviets? Tortured and killed by them? Don't run away with death. ”

At this critical moment, Koch finally came to his senses. Yes, the commander committed suicide and the whole team was finished.

He threw away his pistol and sat down on the ground dejectedly. Everyone, including him, was really a mess in their minds and didn't know what to do.

If everyone continues to sink, once they are attacked by the enemy, it will be all over.

At this time, Adler, nicknamed Hawkeye, stepped forward, holding a Mauser rifle as if he were holding a scepter. "Brethren, we must take heart and now be at my command. All those who have all the weapons they can fight, stand up! We must get out of here and look for our reinforcements! ”

In the midst of the chaos, someone was able to step up and make decisions that seemed sound, including Koch himself, who now simply authorized Adler to be his lieutenant. He ordered: "This is the most tragic moment for our flying group, and you have the wisdom to lead us out of this difficult situation, and you will be the commander for the time being." ”

Adler was ordered to be in danger, he and his comrades lost their planes, and now they can only serve as infantry, or poorly equipped infantry. Half of them were unarmed and could only use thick twigs and daggers as weapons, and some of them did not have many bullets in their pistols. Among the more than 100 people, there were only ten spears, and one MG34 with only 300 rounds of ammunition.

Everyone knows that the 715th Division, which had four infantry battalions approaching the airfield, was advancing with difficulty in the forest and marching slowly. Moreover, the enemy's attack was so sudden, that they came and went like the wind, and now disappeared without a trace.

As dawn approached, Adler made the decision - all the living went south in anticipation of meeting with reinforcements. Before they acted, they rushed into the airfield, which was constantly burning, to collect what else could be used. After all, there are more than 100 people, and most of them are untidy. There are even unlucky people who run outside wearing only white underwear and a coat.

The original airport had been changed beyond recognition, and all those who did not have time to flee had lost their lives. The wails of people were heard in the forest, and the surviving soldiers, workers, and families, and even the dancing girls of the tavern, staggered back to the airport.

In the forest, some are just cold and helpless, and it is better to bake a fire at the airport.

What Adler saw was devastation, with the Air Force headquarters razed to the ground and all the dormitories burned to rubble. The wreckage of the planes that ran up was blown away, including those in the hangar, which were exposed and their wings were broken.

Koch's spirit was broken, and he fell to his knees, speechless. An airport at the end of the road turned into a tragic battlefield in just a few hours.

The living people came back one after another, and most of them were workers, after all, they were the first to start running away. Other than that, only a small number of soldiers, this infantry battalion was responsible for guarding the airfield, and most of them died.

The attack of the Soviet troops, because of the martyrdom of the ammunition depot, caused an unexpected and catastrophic result.

The six gods and no masters, Koch completely lost his former sharpness, and the baton was in Adler's hands. He immediately ordered the living to pack up what they could use, and of course, he gave orders only to the soldiers. Under the disaster, those civilian workers no longer matter.

When the sun rose, Adler ordered the warriors and his fellow pilots to head south to meet with reinforcements. Those workers had no choice but to follow these soldiers.

Lumberjacks, blacksmiths, carpenters, and even dancing girls, they stay here only to die. In this way, a very sloppy team began to weave through the forest, begging for help.

Balzen's reconnaissance company chose to go north. For no other reason, it was clear that the enemy would reinforce the airfield, and that their reinforcements would be at least the size of a regiment, and that going south would be tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

The mission has been accomplished, and Balzen needs to make a tactical turn, go around in a big circle and then go south.

In the process, they finally met their allies. (To be continued.) )
