Shire didn't feel anything was wrong, but he did notice that the guards outside the airport had increased two or three times.
However, this seemed normal. Once people knew Shire was commanding at the airport, they surged towards it like a tide, surrounding it tightly in layers. Even the runway for taking off was crowded with people.
At this rate, not to mention eating or sleeping, even taking off to meet the enemy would be difficult.
Fortunately, soldiers soon arrived to maintain order. They drove people out of the airport and protected it tightly.
That night, Shire stayed in the officers' dormitory at the airport.
This was because the battle was still not settled. Shire had to continue directing airport operations... Now the entire city relied on Shire's "airplanes and artillery" to block the Germans and achieve the final victory. Shire couldn't leave his post easily.
What puzzled Shire was that the guards also "protected" the airplanes.
What were they worried about?
