Chapter 17: The Purpose of the Gangs (Part II)
This time, the enemy's offensive strength was obviously much weaker, and it only made a tentative attack after a long mortar shelling, and once it was blocked, it fought and retreated, and then continued the shelling. The gunfire in the barracks stopped again shortly afterward, but it started again shortly after, perhaps this time with a reversal of roles between the offensive and defensive sides.
As soon as the artillery fire stopped, the old guy Yugovich contacted Kostic and persuaded him again and again. But judging by his expression, the effect is not ideal. It dragged on until late in the afternoon, and Yugovic finally had some results.
When Milk arrived, Yugovic said: "I can't stop Kostic from entering Kosovo with those kids. Just convince him to mobilize Keqiman to come here to support these two idiots. And I reported to him both the situation and the situation we expected. ”
"What did he say? He's not going to rush into Kosovo without a plan, is he? It wasn't his backyard. Milk asked, a little irritably.
Yugovich nodded and said, "Of course there is a plan. But in my opinion, it doesn't work much. According to him, the team of Petrovich and Ivankovic was approaching the border, and he was just going to pick it up. He brought enough ammunition, as well as medical personnel and ambulance equipment and stretchers. He asked Dravic to lead the men out before they could clear the way for their large army. If there is an interception, they will defend and let the people who are waiting for Petrovic and Ivankovic come and pick them up. ”
"That's! Those who can make such a plan are completely unfought. Milk unceremoniously interrupted the uncle, "Someone intercepted?" Waiting for those two guys to lead a group of defeated soldiers to rush out on their own? Unless they're a bunch of stupid fools who are even more stupid than them. He hadn't seen the defeat at all, everyone was running at that time, and as long as there were people following behind, you shouldn't expect to organize people quickly. What did you do to break out of the enemy's blockade without being organized? Do you rely on your body to block the other party's gun hole? Do they still have to take the wounded with them? As long as you run a few kilometers, it is good to ensure that people do not run away a lot, and the excess guns and ammunition must have been thrown away at that time, so what to fight? ”
I glanced at Milk and said, "Calm down." Calm down, it's not the worst yet. ”
Without waiting for Milk to speak again, Yugovic said: "It is true that it has not reached the worst time, in my opinion, the worst thing is not that Kostic and Dravich were intercepted, nor that Petrovic and Ivankovic could not be blocked, but that after Kostic entered Kosovo, the retreat was cut off by a certain armed force, and all of them were besieged in Kosovo." ”
Hearing Yugovich say this, Milk and I looked at each other. Yes, that's the worst-case scenario. At that time, most of the forces were either besieged or severely damaged, and it was basically a dead end. I looked at Yugovich and said, "Is there anything else that can help?" ”
"Help?" Yugovic asked very strangely, and after making sure that he had heard correctly, and that I had said correctly, he said: "There are mercenaries from NATO who will help destroy us." What a great opportunity for such a massive fire and we are still surrounded there. ”
"Those mercenaries will help the Albanian armed forces and bandits to exterminate you Serbs?" Milk asked.
Yugovich nodded and said, "Then it depends on how the other party is going to fight." It is definitely an enemy with us, and for the Albanians and bandits, it's hard to say, they are not friends, and it is not impossible to kill them together. ”
"It's ****** complicated." Milk scolded and continued, "Those mercenaries are very powerful? Have you ever fought each other? ”
Yugovich sighed and said: "I have fought, it's not simply that it's not powerful." In my opinion, it is more appropriate to describe it as cunning. They move quickly, have strong coordination with each other, cooperate very tacitly, and fight at a fast pace. Weapons and equipment, if necessary, there may also be air support. We weren't the only ones who fought with them, the gangs fought with them at first. None of us won, and we all suffered a lot of losses, so no one provoked them after that, and we tried to stay away from them when we fought with each other. ”
"Then this time there is such a big movement, don't those NATO dogs know about it? Isn't the other party afraid of being beaten by those dogs and waiting for everyone to clean up the mess? How do I feel like this time it's like the other party and the dogleg have discussed. Milk said with a frown at Yugovich.
&n
bsp; Hearing Milk say this, don't say that I am pulling out the cold in my heart, that is, Yugovic also closed his eyes slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said helplessly: "If that's the case, it's really over." ”
"Don't worry about that. Again, let's solve the matter at hand first. Do you have losses there? I asked, looking at Milk.
"There were no casualties, only people were injured, and I have seen that the injuries are not serious." Milk replied.
I turned my head to look at the oil bottle, "How's it going to count the ammunition?" ”
The oil bottle agreed. Milk said, "We'll be safe here for a while." Judging from the offensive momentum of those people just now, it has returned to the stage of continuous testing, and it is estimated that there will be no large-scale attack on the other side of you before. ”
"If that's the case, Kostic they're getting more and more dangerous." Yugovic spoke.
"How are we going to get around at night? Leave from here? Have you thought about it? Milk pointed to the steep mountain path.
Yugovic nodded, "I've thought about it. We quietly left here in the evening. I've also figured out the route after that, and I'll write it down in case something happens to me. ”
"You're going to go to Kostic and them after that?" I asked.
Yugovic let out a long sigh, "I know that when I get there, I may not be able to do anything." More likely that it will all be over by the time I get there. But I still want to check it out and see if I can take a few people with me and take them home. ”
"Uncle. There's something I want to ask you, and while it may not be good to say this, it seems to me that it is necessary at the moment. Milk began.
Yugovich looked at Milk and smiled bitterly and said, "Do you want to ask what you will do if Kostic and they are all dead?" ”
"Exactly. I'm curious to know who will lead the rest of the people if they're finished. Milk asked.
"To be honest, I don't know. But I have a suggestion, and if that's the case, I'd suggest you go home. Everyone went home to live a quiet day. After Yugovich finished speaking, he took out a pen and paper and began to write.
"Report." The oil bottle came over and said, "Now the ammunition is still about fifty percent of the original. ”
"Got it. You go and arrange the people who are on guard and pay attention to the movements of the other party. Milk glanced at Yugovich and pulled me aside and said, "What do you think we should do?" ”
I glanced at him and said, "You mean what will happen when we withdraw from here?" Or what happens when Kostic is finished? ”
"I don't think about the distance, just say what will we do when we leave here? We've become embarrassed after we've withdrawn from here, are we going on adventures with the old guys? The risk is too great. But don't we really find a place to hide and watch? If Kostic is really finished, will we really go home separately? Milk thought for a moment and said, "Actually, your problem is actually a problem. ”
"Certainly not a problem. When we get out of here, we can go on adventures, or we can report back to Klinger. See what they say. But if Kostic is really finished, I tell you, we should really get out of here. Our mission is over. I said,
"Wouldn't that be hard to explain?" Milk said and looked at Yugovic again, "Although this old guy didn't make his business clear to us, I think he is still reliable in terms of operations. What would you think of them if we followed him to Kostic? ”
I looked at Milk, "That's dangerous!" Do you think we're going to the woods looking for puppies and kittens? Even finding a man-eating bear is much safer than this. The other party is likely to wait for other rescuers to come to the door. ”
"Let this old guy lead the way. he
to scout forward. We were followed by some people, and I think this old guy is pretty good at that. Milk said.
"Why do you want to help him? Don't tell me that you're unhappy with NATO, or that you have an enmity with the Albanians. I asked.
Milk sighed and said, "Take someone home." His words reminded me of something. He looked at me as he spoke, "And we're here to serve Kostic, at least for now." It is also morally unjustifiable for us to watch our employers besieged and ignore them. ”
"Stop! You don't have to withdraw any morality from me. Since you want to go, you're the commander of this team, you can just say yes. But I would advise you to be cautious. Don't end up with no way home on our own. ”
"Hmmm! I know what to do. Rest assured. Milk walked towards Yugovich.
