Chapter 128: The Adversary (43)
When we returned to the courtyard, Saeed and the three men had already arrived in the courtyard, but the imam still did not return. I quickly walked over to Said and said, "I've got it here." ”
Said nodded and said something to the three people beside him, all three of whom each nodded and turned out of the mosque. "I asked them to answer at the entrance of the village. How are you going to fight? Said asked.
I pointed to the top of the mosque and said, "Use snipers to suppress each other." It's easiest to do. As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the sounds of the gardener and the sissy "in place", and the gardener told me that the Iraqis had been routed, that they had lost their formation and rhythm, and were fleeing in all directions.
I asked the gardener to stand by and looked at Said and said, "They're ready." “
Said nodded and pointed to the side of the fence near the entrance to the village, "These walls could have been used for a covert attack. But it's too late, and you don't have anything to put your feet on. “
"Just fight outside the mosque. When the car came, it drove directly into the mosque so as not to be exposed to the outside and beaten into a sieve. And it's not safe for everyone to crowd into one place and fight. With that, I walked outside the mosque, "You go and stay in your room." I've talked to others. When the imam's car arrives, you all get into the car first. ”
"No problem. You can communicate with those three in simple English. They all understand something. Said said and walked back.
The three of us quickly returned to the entrance of the village. The three Iraqis who came first hid in a low-lying spot below the road at the entrance of the village, looking ahead. The three of us came to a halt against the wall of the mosque, and after looking at the situation ahead, I found that the situation was far worse than the gardener's simple account.
Now these Iraqis are already fleeing for their lives, and the orderly fighting and retreat that they saw before are now gone, which means that they have been broken, and it is still the kind of real collapse. And those who were pursuing, as the sky became brighter and brighter, I could already confirm that this group of people was indeed a group of mercenaries, and the desert camouflage they did not wear was not the standard of the American army, and the helmets they wore were not the same, some of them did not even wear helmets but wrapped their heads with a square scarf like the Russians. And I noticed that some of them still have long beards. Some of these people are coming towards our right, the north bread of the village, as if they are preparing to block the retreat of these Iraqis.
"Do you want to do it?" Ramzan whispered, "If you fight like this, these people will soon be slaughtered." “
I nodded and looked at the three Iraqis hiding to our left, all three of them looking nervously ahead, two of them looking ready to fight for their lives, and the other looking at us from time to time, their eyes full of anticipation.
I whispered into the communicator, "Gardener, sissy." Each aims, the target. After firing two or three shots each, stop shooting and take cover. ”
"Understood!" Gardeners and sissies responded one after another.
I looked at the three Iraqis and said in English, "Prepare for battle." Let your men run to our left and go around your left and into the village. ”
The man nodded at me and asked, "Left side?" Our left? ”
"That's right! From our left. Go around to our left and enter the village. As I spoke, I raised my left hand and gestured to the left of the village character.
Just as the man nodded in understanding, two gunshots rang out from inside the mosque. Two more gunshots followed. At the first shot, I looked ahead and saw two figures moving to the side of the village being hit and fell to the ground, and in the second round of shooting, only one figure was knocked to the ground.
After two gunshots, the three guys immediately realized that we had made a move. One of the guys, who had just heard that he didn't understand what he was talking about, immediately shouted forward, and the posture was obviously directing the men to run to the left.
The mercenaries took cover after the first round of shooting by the gardener and the sissy, and after the second round of shooting, the counterattack began. The bullets hit the second floor of the mosque, and as soon as the Iraqi man on our side moved, the bullets flew towards them.
We did not move immediately, and now many Iraqis are still blocking our shooting range, and if we move at this time, not only will we not be able to effectively attack the other side, but we will also expose our own position, so that the other side can better judge and prepare.
"Gardener, how are you doing?" After the other person started to shoot back, I asked through the communicator while looking ahead.
"We're fine, it's all right." The figure of the gardener soon came, "These guys are quick to react and have a lot of experience. It soon became clear that we had been attacked and found our approximate location. “
"What are they going to do? Did anyone get to the north of the village? I asked.
"I don't know. But I think someone should have passed. Do you want us to go over and have a look? The gardener asked.
I didn't answer immediately but looked ahead, and after the gardener and the sissy shot, the mercenaries stopped moving casually, and the counterattack just now quickly stopped, and everyone stopped shooting casually. The Iraqis, on the other hand, quickened their speed and seized the opportunity to run towards us, and as if they had understood the instructions of their companions, they quickly rounded the south side of the village, and in a moment they gave way to the three of us.
"It's not the north that matters now. It's our retreat. They are not trying to surround it, but to cut off the way of retreat. I spoke.
"So they're going around to the east?" The gardener responded.
"Yes. Keep an eye on them. If you find them going east, be sure to stop them. At least to keep them in our way before we're ready to leave. I said.
"Understood! We'll take a look at the location right away. The gardener replied.
I continued to look ahead, and after a moment of silence the mercenaries suddenly appeared in front of us. Then there was more and more smoke and it covered a larger and larger area. Soon our vision was completely obscured, and it was difficult to see each other's positions and movements.
"Smoke bombs... Aliyev whispered, "These damn Yankees, they're so fast." ”
"Stop talking. Keep an eye on it. Maybe they'll be here soon. Ramzan whispered.
I nodded and looked over to the Iraqis, "Get ready for battle." They're going on the offensive. “
The Iraqis were still busy directing the transfer of their companions, and not long after I finished speaking, a few muffled sounds came from the smoke, and then the walls of the mosque and near the entrance to the village exploded.
The battle began to pull again!!!
