Chapter 195: Forty-Eight Hours (16)
They didn't show any panic after we started attacking, presumably because they had learned of our presence from the small group that had encountered us before. At the moment, it seems that this team does not have any means of transportation, all of them are moving on foot, they have been fighting fiercely for half the night, they should be sleepy, and they are still going deeper and deeper into Serbian territory, the form is actually very unfavorable for this team. If you think so, it is true that as the commander of the other side, you must mobilize other forces to reinforce here. Could it be that the other party just mobilized Keqiman and Fastich? Could there be some other armed forces creeping in?
Thinking of this, I looked at Younis, "What are the armed forces in Kosovo doing?" Still near the border? β
Younis nodded and said, "I just confirmed it before, but I didn't move." However, there has been an increase in the number of people. β
"Increase?" I repeat. This word undoubtedly tells us that their desire to do so is increasing and that they may cross the border at any time. "How many are there at the moment?"
"More than three hundred. The equipment is very ordinary. Younis said.
Three hundred? I really didn't pay much attention to it before I did it. But at the moment, these people are a big headache for me. If you don't get it right, you're going to have to do it in the hands of these people.
I turned to look ahead, and instead of fighting us, the multinational force went straight to the direction of ten o'clock on one side of the road, which was our side, after a brief exchange of fire. Gunshots rang out from time to time not far behind the group, and those people were supposed to be Pulcic's men, they were biting very tightly, and the multinational force was constantly exchanging fire with them, which should be the main reason why they have not been able to move quickly.
"Where are they going? Want to bypass us? The oil bottle asked.
I shook my head. The task of the other side is not to fight but to respond, to achieve a convergence with the Eastern Battalion. Although they themselves are already in danger at the moment, if they turn around and leave, then the Eastern Battalion will be swallowed by us before dawn. Therefore, the gang could not retreat, but they also wanted to minimize their losses before they achieved a convergence in order to conserve their strength and use them in the final real retreat.
"Let Vurich follow them. I need to know what this neighborhood looks like. Where there is a place to guard, and what is the way. Let Pulcic not have to follow behind the opponent's ass, send someone to catch up from the side, since the other party does not want to fight us, then adopt the wolf pack tactic, one bite and slowly bite them to death. I said.
At that moment, Younis pointed to the rear of us and said, "Vukovic has arrived with someone. β
I turned my head to look and vaguely saw some car lights. "Grandet has arrived at the hospital with his people. He said he was coming here right away. Younis continued.
I nodded. This news has definitely boosted my confidence. I looked at Younis and said, "Is there any news from Paul?" β
"Not yet." Younis shook his head.
"Then I'll have to arrange for someone to keep an eye out for Kirchiman and Fastic. Seventy or eighty men, I will prepare at least thirty to fifty men. I sighed again, "Let Paul get it done as soon as possible." β
At this moment, Vukovic ran over with someone. When he saw me, he said, "My friend, how is it going?" What do we need to do? β
I looked behind Vukovic, and there were a lot of figures shaking in the night, and I felt that there were quite a few people. I looked at Vukovic and said, "How many people did you bring here?" β
"More than one hundred and fifty people in total. Forty or fifty people were arranged to help in the factory, and there were about 100 people here. Vukovic said.
"So many people? Where did it all come from? I asked, a little surprised. Vukovic has brought more people than I expected, and I thought he would be thirty or fifty people.
"Except for those friends of Bunotz. And then there's from my town, and the town you're attacking. Now that the news has spread that you are hunting NATO, many people have taken up arms and spontaneously organized themselves to come here. Vukovic said.
"What do you mean? Are all coming here? How many people can there be? I asked.
"I know about a hundred." Vukovic said and looked behind him and pointed to the people who were coming, "These people should be just a small minority. β
This news undoubtedly made me feel a burst of joy. Regardless of the combat capabilities of these people, at least in terms of the number of manpower, the problem has been effectively solved. Although the effect may not be very good after the fight, it can completely scare my opponent into a cold sweat from the perspective of formation.
"What about their weapons? Don't be your own shotgun or something, right? I asked.
Hearing me say this, Vukovic shook his hand and said, "It's not a problem. Of course, their guns weren't very good, so I took out all the stuff you were going to sell and armed them. β
"Haha! Well done. I smiled. Arrange for people to move behind us with us. The Eastern Battalion is rushing over. We're going to start by storming the multinational force that has come to our aid. β
"Understood!" Vukovic agreed, and immediately turned around and began to explain to the several Serbs who were following him.
At this moment one of our Serbs came running, looked at us and said, "The enemy has retreated to a small dirt slope in the woods by the roadside. It looks like it's going to stick there. β
This is waiting for the Oriental Battalion. They are undoubtedly very wise to do so now. Whether it is the balance of power or the position between each other, they already occupy a disadvantage. Of course, they can fight us desperately, but what about after that? This is Serbia, do they still want to get out of here? Then hold a place and wait for the Eastern Battalion to come and then move depending on the situation, or they can wait for other support and changes before deciding how to act.
At this time, a dense burst of gunfire was heard in the woods on the side of the road. It's not our team attacking, because our team is still moving to the side of the road, and the exchange of fire is in a direction away from our side, so it should be Pulsic's men attacking.
"Let Vurich lead people to speed up and bite up." I shouted as I looked at the oil bottle. After saying that, I looked at Vukovic again, "Did you bring anything big caliber?" β
Vukovic looked back at me, "Is the mortar counted?" Dragged in the car behind. I've moved everything I can. β
"Good!" I said and looked at the Serb in front of me, "Tosic. Get me Tosic! Let him bring someone to prepare the cannon for me. β
At this moment, Vurich led people to attack. The other party was still fighting and retreating, and the place where the fire was exchanged quickly went into the woods. I, the oil bottle, and the old fellow, Eunice, quickly followed the group into the woods. Vukovic stayed behind and continued to arrange manpower.
It was dark in the woods, and the light of the fire from the muzzle of the gun felt unusually bright. After about ten minutes of pursuit, we saw a dark figure that was clearly above the ground. There were already men shooting at the shadow, and all of our pursuers stopped, and on our right I saw the men led by Pulcic, and our team was converging.
"The Eastern Battalion is here." "They're about three or four kilometers away from here. β
"So fast?" I looked at the oil bottle, "Find Vurich and Pulsic." Let's talk about it briefly, let's go. β
"Bad news for you." Younis whispered beside me, "Just now, the armed movement in Kosovo took place, and it is moving in this direction. β
"What about the people of Kirchiman and Fastich? Is it coming from here too? I asked.
Younis nodded, "Yes." That's it for now, everybody is converging here. β
Listening to Eunice say this, I suddenly realized a question, that is, am I thinking about the problem simply? The other party has mobilized such a man to come here, will there be any intention to destroy us? Now we have an advantage in terms of numbers, but in a short period of time, these forces that were originally on the official website suddenly took action, and they all came here, and here? Did this multinational force come here unhurriedly and put on a stubborn posture, using itself as a sandbag? Did you use yourself as bait to lure all of us armed forces here for a spoonful of stew? Is it possible? Of course, it may be that I was frightened by this situation, just like I wanted to scare the other person just now. But no matter what, I have to come up with a way to deal with it, even if the other party has the intention of completely destroying us, then we have to see if they have such good teeth, right?
Soon, Pulsic and VuriΔ came to me, along with Trovic. Trovic still looks like he is beaten and is not worried about our current situation at all.
"What about your losses? And our current multinational force, how many more people do they have? I looked at Pulcic and asked.
"Our losses are not small. Almost a third. However, the losses of this multinational force were no less significant. It should be about the same as our losses. Pulcic said.
"So that means they also have close to a third of the casualties? There are almost 100 people here? I asked.
Pulcic nodded, "Yes, almost." These guys are very difficult to entangle, they have been holding the group while fighting and walking, and the personnel take turns to cover each other very tacitly and are very well-trained. β
I nodded and said, "Let me tell you that the Kosovo side is already coming here." And the men of Kirchiman and Fastich are also coming here, and we are likely to have a big fight with each other here. β
Pulcic frowned when I said this, and said, "If that's the case, I suggest retreating." β
"Retreat? Why? So many people came and killed them all! Trovic shouted.
Ignoring him, Pulcic continued: "How many people are there here now?" There are three or four hundred people in total. And how many can really fight a tough battle? But what about these people who came over on the other side? If we put on a stance here, it's going to be tough. β
"That can't be withdrawn! This is a good opportunity for the complete annihilation of the Eastern Battalion, and the damned Kosovars, who deserve to die for their secession. My people and I will not withdraw, but this is Serbia, so why let these people come and go freely and let us withdraw? Trovic shouted angrily.
Pulcic was right. There are only about 100 people who can really fight here. I came here in the middle of the night, and our people lost a lot, and the other side came over with a new force, once we put into the battle, our pressure will be very great, and when the losses that can really fight a tough battle are exhausted, and the situation is unfavorable, can these helpers who come to hear the wind be reliable? Perhaps these people were the first to break up.
But do you really choose to save your strength and shrink your head? What about the people who died that afternoon? What about the manpower lost after the pursuit? A series of efforts in vain? Trovic was aggressive, but he was right about one thing, and that was that this was indeed an opportunity to completely wipe out the Vostok Battalion. The Eastern Battalion should also be at the end of the crossbow at this moment, if they are let go this time, then it will be difficult to encounter such an opportunity in the future, and this series of actions will become a thrilling operation for the NATO planners of this operation, and it will be a successful operation. It's just that the price paid is a little bigger. So what about after that? Even if I keep the team and strength for the time being, they will continue to deal with me, as well as Kochiman and Fastich, and our days will be very difficult, and we will be in danger of destruction at any time. What exactly should I do?
Just as I was hesitating, the old fellow Younis spoke up beside me.
