I and Pinto quickly found the others, gave them a brief explanation, and then retreated to the sentry post. When I reached the outpost, I asked Pinto to gather the people at the sentry to prepare to take them with me, and I contacted Walker myself via WeChat.

"Walker! Listen to me. I said in as calm a tone as I could: "The partisans crossed the border, they came in the direction of the manor. ”

"Are you sure?" Walker was a little incredulous at my news, "I mean, the sentry told Mr. Butler in the morning that they were all right. ”

"Stop caring about the sentry. Maybe the frontier has been touched or controlled, so it will always give you peace. You'll have to ask Mr. Butler to gather your men and set up your defenses, I'm already heading back, and we should be able to get back before dark. ”

"Understood. I know how to do it. ”

After Walker answered, we ended the call, and we drove back with the three men from the sentry.

When we got back to the estate, the people here looked nervous. All the ordinary people have been concentrated and moved to the big house. At this time, the walls were full of people, and Mr. Butler was leading people to maintain order.

I found Walker, who was discussing something with the other three men with their gear on their backs. Walker walked up to me when he saw me coming back and said, "How many of them are coming?" ”

I shook my head, "I don't know, but it's definitely a lot more than we can get guns here with." I only saw two teams, I don't know if there are any other teams. ”

"You know what? After you told us that the guerrillas were coming to us, the butler went to contact Pablo. Pablo was entangled there. The partisans there were not repulsed, and it was said that there were reinforcements. They are now in a bitter battle. ”

When I heard the news, I felt both very lost and expected. It seems that the partisans already had a plan to continue dealing with Pablo.

"Is there no news from the government army? Could it be that the guerrillas have such a strong ability to fight on both sides? I asked, a little depressed.

Walker shrugged, "If you look at all kinds of armed forces in this place, you should know how unreliable the government forces in Colombia are. ”

"Hmph. I think it's just another armed one with a license. After a complaint, I pointed to the outside of the yard, "How did you set it up?" ”

Walker led me out of the courtyard, and he pointed to the area below, "It's all open land compared to the forest. If there are many people on the other side, it will be difficult to hold on to the area below with our current manpower. Even if we had the fortifications that had been dug before, it would be useless. ”

I looked at the open land below, it was indeed difficult to defend, and it was impossible for fifty or so people to go down to such a large area to have enough strength to suppress the other party, let alone organize a hierarchical defense system. And if one point is breached, then the defense without a level will be completely passive, not only will other places not be able to hold, and even withdrawing will be a big problem.

"So what are you going to do? Shrink the area of defense? I asked.

Walker nodded, pointing to our feet, "This is the highest place in this area, and it's easy to defend. Standing here we can see the situation below, we can rely on this to set up a defense in the area below, if the bottom is lost, we will retreat to the top, hold the only road to the house and continue the stalemate, and finally we can hide in the courtyard and continue to hold on, but I don't want Pablo to be able to solve the problem by then that the guerrillas on his side will come back to help. But even then, such a house is not easy to be attacked, and there are too many examples in history of relying on a building to hold out for a long time. ”

"Then those places on the periphery will just give up?" I asked.

Walker did not answer immediately, but looked a little hesitant, "Gypsy." I always felt a little unwilling that we were so stupid to wait for them to fight. ”

I looked at him and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

Walker pointed to the woods in the distance, "Should we take a few of us to warm up with the guerrillas first?" In this way, you can not only see how many of them there are, but also hit them by surprise first. ”

I smiled, "If you're going to do it, you'll have to go tonight." They expect to arrive in the neighborhood by noon tomorrow. ”

"Then we have to hurry up and arrange these people, disconnect the fortifications that were originally linked, and bury the traffic trenches directly." Walker said and turned and walked back into the yard.

"Put some mines. When they are attacked, they will certainly hide in some fortifications and lay mines in those abandoned places. I said to him.

"Good idea. Good news for you, Pablo doesn't have a lot of manpower, but he has a lot of weapons and ammunition. ”

I hurriedly chased a few steps to catch up with him, "I'll go rest for a while." You came to me when you set out, and you know where to find me. ”

At ten o'clock in the evening, Walker came to my room and called me up, and he told me that everything was arranged and that we could go out to play with the guerrillas.

I packed my backpack and equipment and followed me into the courtyard, although it was late at night, the big house and the yard were still quite lively. The common people of the manor gathered here, young and young men in the courtyard, set up improvised tents, and the women and children were mostly placed in the large house and other houses in the courtyard by the butlers.

Outside the courtyard wall, on the mountainside of this dirt slope outside the gate, a ring of fortifications was erected on which an American M240 general-purpose machine gun was erected. And there were three people sitting there chatting. In addition to this point, there are improvised fortifications at intervals of five to ten meters along the way, but no one has been stationed for the time being.

When you reach the open space below, there are two rings of fortifications around the dirt slope where the big house is located, the two circles are about thirty to forty meters apart, and only two passages connect the two circles of fortifications, and the terrain of the inner ring is higher than the outer circle, so that it can better strike at the enemy who enters the outer ring after abandoning the outer circle. Personnel have been stationed in the fortifications, some are on guard, and more are resting.

"Don't walk around, everybody. According to the Gypsies' idea, the fortifications that had been built before were scattered with mines, and we walked from this road to the woods. Walker said as he led the way ahead.

We didn't rush into the woods, but walked slowly forward, this time we didn't have to hurry, because we were attacking, although there were few people, but because of this it made us more flexible, we could quickly disappear into the woods. The other side will not be so agile and maneuverable, they have already entered the territory of the SDF, they will not have the courage to make a quick pursuit after being attacked, they will be afraid of other ambushes or other ideas.

So we stopped after midnight and started to rest. After the sky was slightly bright, we set off again, we still did not move fast, now it should be the guerrillas who are in a hurry, we just need to walk slowly, save our strength and run away quickly when it is time to run.

Around noon, Walker, who was walking at the front of the group, suddenly stopped, and then motioned for everyone to squat down. After waiting quietly for a few moments, I heard movement in the direction of our eleven. Something was moving in the woods, and someone was whispering.

"Gypsy, you said yesterday that they were marching in more than one team?" Walker said in a very soft voice.

I nodded, pointing my finger to indicate that I saw two. Walker turned his head to look ahead, pointing to me and Pinto, Fabry and Paro and the drag bottle and unfolded it to his right front.

When I understood, he led the others to the left, in the direction of the group. "Wait for us to fire first, and when they come over, you know what to do." Walker's voice came through the headphones.

After Walker and the others left, I quickly touched the side of the group with my people. There were quite a few people in this group, and they were heading in the direction of the manor. I motioned for everyone to disperse, three to five meters apart, and I said to the communicator in a very low voice, "B2 is in place. ”

Shortly after I finished speaking, a gunshot rang out. Several of the people at the front of the group were shot and fell, and the people behind them quickly began to spread out to the sides for cover after a moment's pause, and some of them leaned towards us.

"Shoot!" I let out a low growl and pulled the trigger. Those who tried to get close to him rubbed their hands, and three or four people were shot and fell to the ground.

However, the other side soon began to organize a counterattack, and their shouts came and went, and the people at the back of the line quickly moved towards our flank.

"Can't wait long, prepare to withdraw!" I said a word, and at the same time, a command came from Walker's request to be tested on him.
