THE "MONGOL HERDSMAN"

In the spring of 1945, attacks against
German airfields were highly successful
due to the muddy conditions which forced
the Germans to bunch their planes
together at permanent airstrips.  During
an attack on the Zarau airfield, Hero of
the Soviet Union LTC Sobolev led the 2nd
Guards Fighter Regiment in on such an
attack.  The escorts were led by Sr. Lt.
Yarchenko, and the strikeforce was led by
Sr. Lt.  Koshelev, also known as the
"Mongol Herdsman."  At least 60 aircraft
were spotted on the ground, and 9 Ju-87's
were observed circling the field.
Dropping bombs and strafing, Koshelev's
force decimated the field, and
Yarchenko's planes shot down three Ju-87s
on the first pass and then held off some
FW190s which came to the defense of the
hapless Stukas.  A few days later the 2nd
Guards Fighter Regiment returned and were
able to see the carnage they had wrought.

MISSION

Destroy all parked aircraft and strafe
the hangars.  You must destroy both
hangars for the mission to be a success.

NOTES
