Donovan didn't say anything more, nodded at John and left with his own men following Jonathan. As soon as Donovan left, John addressed the person in charge of liaison around him: "Inform the two rapid reaction teams that are still on standby in Gori to rush to Znauriri immediately, and send them our location every ten minutes." ”

Shortly after the Helmet mercenaries stopped, the meerkat team that had been following them also stopped their advance and immediately reported the situation to Achraf.

Ashraf, who received the report, couldn't help but feel nervous, and he suddenly realized that although he knew that the other party must be a ruthless character who was difficult to deal with, it was still unexpected for him to be able to react so quickly and be fooled. Not only that, but he immediately realized the danger. So he immediately looked at the people around him: "Contact the raccoon immediately." Let them withdraw immediately. As he spoke, gunshots rang out from the southwest, and the man next to Ashraf received the news and reported: "Meerkat reports that they have attacked them." ”

The fact that the other party took the initiative to attack so quickly made Ashraf inevitably a little surprised. Because the other party's strength is not stronger than his own, it is actually a bit reluctant to say that it is half to half. Just now, he suddenly appeared, divided himself entirely, and his own manpower was not in place and he was caught off guard, so he was very passive. But it's completely different at the moment, isn't it a bit stupid to fight back now? But the terrible is terrible here, obviously the other party is not stupid. The only reason for that would be that they were just a vanguard and that more men were coming and were about to arrive. Only in this way can they have the confidence to take the initiative to attack when their own personnel do not have an advantage and they carry a large number of wounded.

Thinking of this, Ashraf immediately said: "Let the meerkat report the specific number of the other party, I want to know how many of them are in total to attack." After speaking, he looked at the lynx squad on the side and said, "Get ready for battle." As he spoke, he pointed to the hillside and said, "Occupy there, as long as you can occupy it, judging from the topography here, you can hold this large area." Go ahead. ”

Just as the Lynx team followed Achraf's instructions and ran down the hill that Pete and Eric had run to before. Ashraf glanced at Steve, who had already explained his position, purpose, and approximate itinerary, and turned to the other two people who had been fighting with Ashraf: "Your team will leave with this man and the other wounded first. Remember not to abuse him and be sure to bring him back in one piece. ”

Both men hesitated when they heard Ashraf's instructions, and after they looked at each other, one of them said, "But what is going on here?" The Yankees are coming, and we may not have enough people here. ”

"Don't worry!" Ashraf chuckled and said, "If we really want to beat you to the death, we are not afraid at all, we should say that we have never been afraid." But that's certainly not what they're here for, let alone against us. I know what they want. So don't worry, carry out the order, take our captives and leave quickly. ”

The two men heard Ashraf say this, so they had to respond and act. And at this moment, the person who had been in charge of liaison said: "The meerkat just reported that the number of the other party at the moment is about thirty. Only a small part of them exchanged fire, about ten people. They judged that this was a reconnaissance operation by the other party. ”

Hearing this, Ashraf smiled and said, "It seems that they have not been able to meet our target, not only did they not converge, but they also think that the target is still around here and has not gone far. After speaking, he looked at the person in charge of contact: "Order the meerkat to withdraw to me." Withdraw slowly. Since our goal is likely to be here, it is necessary to continue to engage with them. ”

In fact, Ashraf only guessed half right about the Yankees' intentions. John didn't intend to have too much contact with the Russians, at least not at the top of his schedule. He did want to come back, but above all he wanted to know what the Russians were doing, and in short, to know if Eric had fallen into their hands. And judging from the fact that the Russians did not leave immediately, but carefully watched their movements, they most likely did not succeed. It's just that they haven't given up and are still trying to find Eric. From this point of view, Donovan's man named Pete and Eric are also mostly alive. Then the next question is, of course, how to find them.

John pondered what he had seen when he arrived and what Donovan had said to him. After a quick round of thought, it was certain that Pete had led Eric over the hill. Although they saw only the Russians on the hillside when they arrived, it was clear that they had not succeeded, and it was precisely because they had only seen the Russians that they were more certain that they had crossed the hillside to the other side of the hill. However, judging from the fact that the Russians did not immediately chase after them, and that they had not yet succeeded at the moment, it is likely that the terrain of this hillside is not as simple as this side, and may be very steep. Only in this way did the Russians fail to succeed in such a favorable situation. And at the moment, they haven't left most of their time on searching, which means that if they are in the past now, they are likely to have to fight them, after all, it is simply impossible to make the Russians easily abandon their goal. Then there is no need to touch this mold at all.

Thinking of this, John quickly glanced to the north, what if he went around this hillside and found his way to the other side? Wouldn't it be great to not only avoid a firefight with the other party, but also achieve your own goals? It's just that I'm not sure if I can get around here and get to where I really want to go. After all, no one has ever been to this place, and it is impossible for a map to tell you such very detailed things. But one way or another, it was better to find a way to get to the other side of the hill than to fight the Russians for control of the place. Because these Russians must also ask for support, at least calling a group of South Ossetians is definitely not a problem.

So John took out the map, and pointed to the southwest side of the hill where he had met Donovan and them, and looked west, and if it was relative to his present position, then to the northwest. He looked back and forth and then looked up and said, "Colin! Come to me! ”
