Chapter 123: Thirty Days of Hell (30)
I moved quickly, and after retreating some distance I stood up, looked at Lukovich and Bilamov and said, "Withdraw." Let's get out of here. β
Lukovich and Bilamov followed and stood up, and we ran back the way we came, the Yankees below could no longer see us, and there were no other attacks against us after the rocket. But from what just happened, I can clearly tell that some of them are keeping an eye on what we're doing here. Otherwise, it wouldn't have hit the rocket so quickly and so accurately after that TLB dropped the grenade for the second time.
I don't have time to think about it, we need to get out of here as soon as possible. The people of the village were being flanked from both sides, and the Yankees in the south could not move any further, perhaps because of the large numerical disadvantage, even if some of the armed men in the village moved to the north, they could not make the same significant progress as they had at the beginning. This is undoubtedly an opportunity for us, and we have to seize this opportunity to unite the people in the village to break through the barriers and rush out.
But when I saw the gardener, and saw that the gardener was cooperating with the people in the village to suppress the Yankees in the south of the village, I found that the Yankees below did not make progress completely because of the difference in numbers, obviously compared with the resistance in the village, the Yankees had more headaches for the gardeners above, because they could not see the upper ones from below, and the Yankees could only avoid the snipers by avoiding the gardener's shooting range, and they did not dare to move but stayed in place at the blind corner of the field of vision below us.
"Prepare grenades! Follow me down a bit! We drove the Yankees out of hiding! , gardener pay attention to cover! I said and moved down the valley.
But just as we were moving downward, a Chinook helicopter again skimmed the valley opposite us, that is, on the west side, and after a little detour, returned to the opposite side and began the rappelling in the opposite valley on a gentler slope. This is obviously the other side is sending reinforcements, and it is estimated that the intelligence at the time of their plan was only the number of people here before, that is, the armed men in the twenty or so villages we saw, who were poorly equipped and had problems with food. For those of us, it should not have been until the start of the attack that they did not show any surprise, but the people in the north were discovered prematurely, and the south was suppressed by the condescending snipers and the armed men who had the advantage in numbers in the village, and a sneak attack was turning into a tough battle, and the situation was developing in a direction they did not want to see, so they needed support, they needed these manpower to change the unfavorable state at the moment, so that the situation could be stabilized before breaking through their control, and the initiative was taken back.
"Watch out for the person on the other side! The person on the other side! I stopped moving as I called out to a few people around me, got down on one knee, raised my gun, aimed at a figure who had just landed, and pulled the trigger. Just as I could shoot, the Yankees below started shooting upwards, trying to cover the people supporting them, and although it didn't work well, it was just a bit of a disturbance to us. But the biggest headache for me was the people in the village, who didn't realize that there were Yankees in the valley to the west of them.
The man who had just landed on the ground was not hit by me, he quickly lowered his body and looked at us, and just as he beckoned to his companion, the gardener pulled the trigger, and the man was shot and fell on his back. As soon as the man fell, someone from the helicopter on the opposite side opened fire on us.
"Concealment!! Hide! I shouted and fired back a few times, except for the gardener, Lukovich and Bilamov, but the mountains here were bare, and there was nowhere to hide. Fortunately, the other party's bullets were not very accurate, although some bullets hit us, but they did not directly hit us.
Then the gardener pulled the trigger again, this time hitting the man who was shooting on the plane, and I looked at the side door of the plane, and I don't know if it hit directly, but at least the other person stopped shooting.
I immediately got up and fired again at the few men who had already descended, and they were not idle, with a machine gunner among them, who, with the assistance and cover of his companions, immediately began to fire heavily at us.
We can't go on here and each other, we have to leave, if we don't hurry up and leave in this situation, we will soon be blocked here, I must continue the previous operation, attack the Yankees in the south of the village below, and rush out from the south side of the valley with the people in the village.
Thinking of this, I looked at the others and shouted, "Cover me!" β
Lukovich and Bilamov fired at the people in the opposite valley, while I quickly climbed down. Yes, just climbed down. There are not many places with gentle slopes here, and most places are likely to slip and roll down if you stand and walk quickly, but if you stand and move slowly in this kind of place, isn't it a target for the opponent? So I could only crawl under cover.
I glanced at the opposite side as I climbed, and the opposite side was still rapidly descending, it seemed that this Chinook had brought a lot of people with him, although there were casualties among them under our attack, but they did not hesitate to continue to rappel quickly under the cover of their companions.
I don't want to look any further, I'll have to move down quickly, attack the people below with grenades, and preferably contact Saeed and Salim in the village, and let them break out south with Akmall. Just as I was looking back, a rocket suddenly flew out of the village, and instead of hitting the Yankees on the north and south sides of the village, it went straight to the Chinoo in the valley on the west side.
The pilot of the Chinook had apparently spotted someone firing a rocket heading for it, and while someone else was rappelling, he suddenly began to move, flying towards the west side away from the village, and the man who was rappelling lost his balance and almost fell. It was precisely because of this evasive action that the rocket did not hit, and flew directly into the sky and soon disappeared.
I continued to climb down, and their rocket attack this time made the Yankees in the opposite valley panic a little, and some of the people who were trying to shoot at us just now began to shift their targets and start shooting towards the bottom of the valley. This is undoubtedly good news for us, firstly, it has made us less stressful here, and secondly, it shows that the people in the village already know the Yankees' actions and intentions.
I quickened my speed downward, and after a quick crawl, I came to a relatively gentle place, where the sound of the Yankees shooting below was clear, and I could even hear them talking, and the sound of communication with the other Yankees to the north, to the valley. At the same time, the communicator in my ears rang out.
