Chương 517: Chapter 16: Raid on Moha (Additional update 6/81)

August 27, 915, at Abawahan airport outskirts, 2330 hours.

Lieutenant Colonel Richard glanced at the time and said to Colonel Charlie, the task force commander of the 1st Paratrooper Division Special Forces, "If the attack resolution is passed, we should be boarding now, otherwise by the time we land, it'll be daylight, and there will be severe casualties."

Colonel Charlie looked outside, "They're waiting for the scout plane to send back the weather report."

Lieutenant Colonel Richard said, "We've trained for parachute drops in bad weather. If it really comes down to it, the planes can land directly at the airport without airdropping us, we've discussed this possibility."

As Colonel Charlie was about to respond, the telephone suddenly rang.

The Colonel sprang to the phone and picked up the receiver, "1st Paratrooper Division!"

Colonel Benjamin's voice came from the other end, "Rocossov is asking you, if the planes land directly, are you confident that you can take the airport?"
