Chapter 3: Toxic Results
Zach was a bit surprised that there were no other enemy units guarding the installation. Snipers had already killed the few enemy soldiers outside as well as the dogs. He looked through he binoculars again. It looked like a sort of research facility, but the structure extended underground as well. He got back in the APC and they were on their way. Outside the compound, they met one of their spies.
"I've been ordered to assist in getting you inside and through the installation without harm," he said.
"That's right," replied Fritz, "We want to come out from down there. Not a nice place to die, I'm told."
"Anyone who has died down there tells no tales."
The spy then walked over and entered a code that opened the door.
"He doesn't seem to have a sense of humor," Zach commented to Fritz.
They followed him inside and took the elevator down.
"Our orders are to kill all enemy units in the installation," said Fritz, "Once we have done so, we are to blow it apart and neutralize the chemical weapons stored here."
They exited the elevator. There was a flame tower just out of range of shooting at them. A few seconds later, two Soviet guards appeared and opened fire upon them. They ducked and one soldier got off a quick burst, killing one of them. The spy suddenly pulled out a pistol and shot the other one in the head. He picked himself up and walked over to a terminal. The flame tower suddenly was lowered into the floor and a hatch closed over it.
"All of the defensive systems can be deactivated providing I get to the proper console," said the agent.
They proceeded down the hallway and suddenly came to an intersection. Two flame towers guarded the way into the main rooms. There were two side corridors that they could go down.
"Stay here," said the agent," I'll go deactivate the flame towers."
He ran down the corridor to the left. After about two minutes, the flame tower on the left was lowered into the floor. The other one still remained. The spy returned and headed down the right corridor. He returned a few seconds later, but the other tower still remained.
"I need one of you go get past that tower by hugging the wall and running across," he said, "There are a few attack dogs that I need to have removed before I can properly do this."
"I'll do it," Zach volunteered.
Fritz nodded and Zach started moving. He stayed next to the wall as he went, and just as he noticed that the flame tower was preparing to fire, he went into a sprint. Suddenly, two attack dogs appeared. Zach fired and both flew and slid towards him, dead. He then approached a larger room. Inside, he saw a technician press a few buttons and activate something. There were several Soviet soldiers inside a massive chamber. He saw a greenish gas fill the chamber and they started choking. About a two minutes later, everyone inside the chamber was dead. Zach moved back into the hallway. Just then, another dog appeared and charged at him. It launched itself at Zach who bat it away with his rifle. He took out his pistol and shot the animal. Zach wiped the sweat of his forehead. This was getting rather exciting. Just then, the other flame tower was deactivated. He peeked out again and saw the spy running towards him with two dogs hot on his trail. The rest of his team appeared and once the agent was behind them, they opened fire, killing everyone and everything inside the room.
"Don't rupture the chamber!" the spy warned.
They stopped firing and surveyed their handiwork.
"I saw those Soviet soldiers killed by their own men," Zach said.
"What you saw was a test of the Sarin gas," said the agent, "That's what we are trying to destroy in this installation. The Soviets have many storage bunkers like this one. This is a rather small installation actually. Come. We have more work to do."
They advanced further and started down a hallway to their left. After a few more firefights in which one soldier was wounded, they came to a large room filled with gas tanks. While the team investigated the room the medic patched up the wounded soldier. The agent walked over to a computer terminal and accessed the database.
"This is one of the storage bays for the gas," he said, "We'll need to set charges and detonate them once we are out of the installation."
"Herman, Allen, place charges," Fritz ordered, "Rest of us, guard duty until they're done."
Zach watched another corridor that left the room with another soldier named Michael. They peered out into the hallway and saw nothing.
"Rather interesting mission this has turned out to be," said Michael.
"You're telling me," said Zach, "Once we blow this place, the Soviets will lose one of their Sarin gas storage centers, and that's fine by me."
They waited a few more minutes before the other two had rigged up the charges. They were about to leave when the doors to the two exits closed down.
"Shit," said Fritz, "What happened?"
"We were detected," said the agent, "Security systems have come on line. I can't override them."
"Is there another way out of this room?" Zach asked.
"Checking. Give me your rifle."
A soldier handed his rifle to the agent. He opened fire on some vents and blew the cover off. He threw the rifle back to the soldier and crawled in.
"This way. If you want to live."
The soldiers followed him as he crawled through the ventilation system. They came to another screen and saw feet run past them. The agent forced the screen apart and crawled out, his pistol in hand. The other soldiers got out and followed him.
"How many soldiers are in this installation?" Fritz asked.
"I don't know," said the agent, "However, they most likely won't be able to call for reinforcements. I believe I was able to disable the radio transceiver."
"Great. Now how do we get out?"
"Come with me," said the agent, "We need to get to the other side of the compound. That might be tricky however."
"What hasn't been," Zach said sarcastically.
The squad ran down the hallways before they ran into a Soviet patrol. After a rather fierce firefight, the German team was able to overcome their opponents. However, two of their own were dead.
"Shit. Agent is down."
"Hey, can you hear me?" Fritz said to the agent, berating himself for not knowing the man's name.
"There's a prison near here," the agent muttered out, "One of my agents and some other soldiers are being held there. Get them out and they can guide you out."
The agent took two more deep breaths before he collapsed completely. Fritz closed his eyes and got up.
"You heard him," he said, "Let's move out!"
The squad ran through the installation. Finally after twenty minutes, they found the prison. There was a NKVD major in command of six Soviet infantries. Fritz signaled for his soldiers to take up positions and they did so. After a few tense seconds, they opened fire, dropping all of them. The squad walked in carefully. Fritz took the major's key and opened the cells. The freed soldiers picked up the weapons of the fallen Soviet soldiers.
"Which one of you is the agent?" Fritz asked.
To their surprise, a young woman stepped forward.
"I am," she said.
This was a surprise for the soldiers, but after seeing what Agent Tanya did, they held back any comments.
"We need a way out of here," said Fritz.
"Come with me," she said, "Where is Christopher?"
"Was that his name? He was shot while guiding us."
The woman nodded and started walking out. The soldiers followed her towards the exit. They ran into two more patrols and found their way to a Mammoth Tank parked in a hanger.
"My god," said Zach, "If we could take this with us."
"We can't," said the agent, "It would attract too much attention. But we can use it for our escape."
The woman climbed up and opened the hatch.
"Wait, what is your name?"
"Katrin," the woman answered before she got in.
The tank started up and the soldiers got out of its way. The Mammoth Tank was somehow able to fit through the hallways. The soldiers followed behind it, using it as a shield. They heard gunfire in front of the tank and then screams. Moments later, the crushed remains of three Soviet soldiers appeared. The soldiers tried to keep their minds off of what they had just seen. The tank entered a large room and drove towards several enemy soldiers. They opened fire with their rifles, trying to stop the tank. There were also two flame towers at the exit. The soldiers were close to the tank when it ran straight into a barrel. There were dozens of fuel barrels in the room as well as some munitions. The entire room erupted into flames and the soldiers ran back into the hallway to avoid getting burned. When they came back, they found the smoking remains of the tank and ashes of the Soviet soldiers. Zach ran over and tried to open the hatch. His hands seemed to light on fire as the hot metal touched his hands. He was finally able to pull the hatch away, his hands blackened by the intense heat. He looked down and found Katrin's left leg pinned down by a large metal bar. Fire was quickly flaring towards her. She was still alive, and tried to reach out.
"Kill me!" she screamed.
Zach grabbed the bar, ignoring the pain of the heat, and managed to shift it aside. He then pulled her out, barely missing the flames. He carried her down, almost falling off the tank in the process. The medic ran over and tended her burnt leg. When the medic tried to examine Zach he shrugged him off. Only when Fritz ordered him to let the medic examine them did he do so. They left the compound and Herman detonated the charges. Part of the underground bunker seemed to collapse and the team headed to the evac point. They boarded the three APCs and returned to friendly territory.
