Chapter 12 Perseverance

We soon got behind Yugovic, and at this moment the opponent increased the intensity of the attack, after all, we have someone here to divert the firepower and there will be a clear gap, which will make the opponent seize the time to attack to maintain or increase the pressure on us.

"Watch the sides and watch out for the people who outflank each other." With that, I opened fire on the enemy who was engaged in an exchange of fire with Yugovich.

Yugovic looked back when he heard gunshots behind him, and immediately organized his men to retreat to my side when he saw me coming back with people.

The old guy divided his men into two groups, one group withdrawing one after another, and the other group with us to do cover shooting. The other party quickly saw that we were going to retreat, and immediately grabbed the rhythm of the attack, but the view here is not good, and the trees are steep, and it is difficult to launch the team to attack in a short time, so the first group of people quickly came behind us.

"Uncle! It's your turn! "I shouted and started covering shooting again.

Yugovich and the rest of the men fought and retreated, and when the other party saw that we were about to all withdraw, they immediately chased after us, and someone began to circle around us again.

"Pay attention to both sides. Pay attention to both sides! I said and looked at the first group of people to retreat from Yugovich's team: "Keep retreating with your men, in the direction of the cliff, and pay attention to intercepting those who have come to outflank us!" ”

The man glanced at Yugovich, hesitated for a moment, and then led the man away first. I continued to shoot, and when Yugovich came to us with someone, I retracted and said, "Uncle." I'll let your men withdraw first, to block those who might outflank us. ”

Yugovich quickly changed the magazine and said, "You did the right thing. We hurry up and retreat, maybe we'll hold on to the cliff. ”

"Drag the oil bottle, and withdraw while fighting! Uncle, you take people back first! I said and started shooting.

At this moment, there was a situation on the other side. They suddenly lowered their attack on us, but quickly began to shrink their formation and adjust their direction.

"What is this for?" I asked in a low voice.

Yugovic looked at me, "I don't know. But it's definitely not going to be those two idiots who make it through. ”

"Leave them alone. Let's get out of here first. "Just as I was about to turn to leave, there was movement from behind us.

Yugovich's men, who had just withdrawn, and some of our men ran over, "Milk has retreated to the cliff with his men. We are here to answer you. ”

No wonder the other party reined in so quickly, it seems that he is afraid that he will be outflanked by us if he chases him alone. The other party did not chase after us, and we did not dare to stay here for long, so we quickly followed the person who answered us to the bottom of the cliff and met Milk.

"What about our casualties?" I asked when I saw Milk.

"Two killed and three wounded. Three are minor injuries that are not a big problem. Milk said and looked at my people and saw that everyone was there, so he looked at Yugovich and said, "Uncle, how are you?" ”

"Two were also killed. Hurt one. I lost three people in the middle of the night. The bodies of those two men could not be brought back. Yugovic said depressedly.

Milk sighed, and after a moment of silence, Yugovich raised his head and said, "What are you going to do?" Now it is basically impossible to rush out on the initiative to attack. He said, gesturing to the sound of gunfire coming from earlier, "It's quiet over there, too." I've been keeping an eye out there. It had been quiet for a while, which meant that the breakout over there should have failed. ”

"I wouldn't expect two people I haven't met, let alone we'd come to support them." Milk looked at me as he spoke, "Gypsy, what do you think?" ”

I looked

"This time, we actually have an advantage in the confrontation with this gang, at least we have eliminated many of them. But it seems that the other side does not attach much importance to casualties. They didn't withdraw or stop attacking because of the casualties they paid. That is to say, they have manpower, and the current casualties are far from the limit of what they can bear, and they are very determined and mentally prepared to destroy us here. ”

"So you mean we should get out of here? Now it should be said that a breakout might be more appropriate. Milk said.

I shook my head and said, "No." Now is not the time to break out. I said and glanced at Yugovich, "Uncle just told me that we should hold on here, I think he must have a point." ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Yugovich raised his head and said, "It's simple. If it is to break through, it is to kill out, then it is to attack and advance on the road below. In my opinion, this is not much different from suicide. I think we should get out of here the way we came from and slip away quietly. The reason why we say we have to hold on is because it is dawn now, and the road there is not easy to walk, and the team cannot be well concealed and spread out, and if the other party finds out, we will all become targets. So we should hold on here until the evening, and then touch it out. ”

Milk listened to Yugovich's words and looked up the cliff, "You mean to hold on to this?" After saying that, he looked at me, "What's up there?" ”

I nodded in agreement, "I think Uncle's plan is feasible." This has the advantage of having a view from above to below. Only a small part of it can be seen from below, and many places are dead ends. Although there is a connection between the top and here, the road is very steep, and it will be very difficult for the opponent to feint. ”

Milk nodded, "Then there's another question, can you keep us at bay?" If the place is small, the other side will bring two mortars and it will be all over. ”

Before I could speak, Yugovich said, "You can put it down, we don't have to nest on it together, we can also arrange people at the other end of the cliff." He glanced at his watch, "But that's a bit long." I'm more worried about whether we'll be able to hold on. ”

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it. Even if it's to the last man. Milk said fiercely.

Yugovic waved his hand and said: "I'm not talking about losses, that's a story for later." I'm talking about ammunition now. It is impossible for the other party to be as quiet as it is now, and it is impossible for it to besiege and not attack. I think they will soon organize an attack, and our ammunition will be here until dark. If the battle is longer, our ammunition will be very problematic. ”

"That's a problem." Milk said to the captain beside him, "Let's check the ammunition and see how much there is, be quick, I want to know the result immediately." ”

The captain said yes and went immediately. I looked around, and not far away were the bodies of several of the other people we had killed in our pre-dawn assault. I pointed to the corpses and said, "These ammunition can be collected." And the ammunition of our wounded and the dead, all collected. ”

"Yes. It looks like we're going to have a hard time today. Milk said as he motioned for someone to collect all the ammunition from the corpses.

"Almost. We also want people to conserve as much ammunition as possible. I looked at the top of the cliff, "If it's time to delay, can we not all of us fight, and only let some people use the advantage of the location to block each other?" This reduces casualties and saves ammunition. ”

Yugovic nodded and said, "That's a way to do it, too." ”

Just then, the captain ran back and said to Milk, "The average bullet is thirty percent. They consume a lot of grenades and oil bottles, and everyone else basically doesn't use them much. ”

Milk nodded and said, "The bullets are a bit too much, and at this rate, it will be difficult for us to support the night." Take me up and see it, and I hope your method works, Gypsy. ”
