However, there were still men in robes who looked surprised at the unmasked Billie, and some people looked at her face with squinting eyes and looked at her figure. In this social system of male sovereignty. If Billie were really an Arab woman, she would have been their plaything or slave many times.

"This damn guy, just left alone!" Billie was invaded by the gaze of these people, even if she was bold, she was a little frightened, and hurried towards the way back. As soon as she arrived at the door of the house where she lived, she quickly dodged in and closed the door.

After eating some bread and drinking a bottle of water, her expression gradually calmed down. And at this time, there seems to be some movement outside. When she looked out the window, she saw groups of local armed men, running through the streets, as if something was going on.

There was a loud bang, the whole house seemed to shake, Billie was shaken by the huge impact and lost her balance, fell from the window, she immediately got up and looked outside, it seemed to be even more chaotic outside, someone was shouting something, and several pickup trucks rushed over. It was loaded with local armed men.

She made up her mind and planned to go out to find out what was going on. This is the basic quality of an intelligence officer, who is always aware of the dynamics of the surrounding situation. Make sure you can stand in a good position at all times.

I opened the door a small opening, poked my head out and looked outside, and heard someone yelling, and then someone firing a gun into the air. The "bang, bang, bang" gunfire caused the already small number of pedestrians on the street to scatter in all directions, not knowing where to go.

"Is this what happened?" Billie grabbed an old man who was hurrying to walk back.

"A car bomb, a car bomb, blew up the military vehicle in front. Somebody's dead, and now it's messing up there, and you'd better stay inside and don't come out. The old man was kind enough to persuade Billie to go back, and then hurried away. Now the streets are full of armed men. The civilians have long since run out.

It was a Japanese patrol armored car that was blown up. Car bombs are powerful. Three members of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces died, three more seriously wounded, two lightly wounded. The scene was already in a hurry, and in a short period of time, the rescue and blockade had not been effectively organized, but the local armed personnel responded relatively quickly.

Then I saw a convoy of military vehicles coming out of the camp. GIs from the Japanese Self-Defense Forces began to cordon off the site and negotiate with local fighters. But it is clear that the two sides did not reach an agreement, and even armed confrontation began. It is clear that both sides want jurisdiction over this matter.

Billie wanted to go over to see what was going on, and at this time, she saw several American soldiers also appearing not far from the door with weapons. She recognized the sergeant who had brought her, so she walked over cautiously and said to the sergeant, "Hey, sergeant, what's going on now?" Will we be dangerous? ”

As soon as the sergeant turned his head to see Billie, he smiled and said, "A car bomb incident." There was an argument between the locals and the Japanese, but it had nothing to do with us. Speaking of danger, ma'am, we've always been in danger, as long as you're in this damn place. You can't escape. ”

Well, that's pretty much the same as not saying it. Billie tried to go over to the other side of the explosion, but was stopped by the sergeant, "Hey, ma'am, I'd advise you not to go over there." Otherwise, you will most likely be summarily executed as a terrorist, especially a woman like you. ”

Billie thought about it, but stopped, intending to stand with the sergeant. Because they were U.S. troops, the Self-Defense Forces did not come to interrogate them, even though they were blockading the surrounding area, but ignored them. Instead, a lieutenant came over to ask the American soldiers about the situation.

It seems that they are asking for their assistance in the blockade mission. But the American sergeant smiled and simply refused neatly, they just came to see the fun. So it does not participate in the tasks of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. The lieutenant was also helpless, so he had to salute politely and leave.

"I don't like these Japanese, who are dodgy and stereotypical, and...... It is better to advise you not to approach them. It's going to be a hassle anyway......" the sergeant said, turning his head at Billie, "and...... Tonight is a bit unpeaceful, this attack is specifically aimed at the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, it is estimated that they have received the news that they are going to withdraw troops, and I want to teach them a lesson. ”

"Are the Japanese going to evacuate from here too?" Billie looked at the sergeant and said in surprise.

"Yes, when I was chatting with those Japanese officers, they had already confirmed that they had received the order to withdraw just yesterday. Within a month, they were withdrawing from the area. Then return home. Grass, I heard that our withdrawal plan has been put on hold, is it because of that deputy minister of defense? Grass, that's garbage. The sergeant was constantly cursing and swearing. He felt unbalanced that the Japanese would be able to evacuate and that he would have to stay in this hellish place, so he refused to carry out the mission for the Japanese. He has the right to make that choice.

Billie stopped talking, and she was not in a position to express any opinion on these matters. And as an agent, she also knows the rule of saying too much and making more mistakes, so she basically doesn't talk much, just a few words. This did not arouse the suspicion of these GIs.

Eventually, the riots subsided and the situation was brought under control. The local armed forces eventually took control of the situation, and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces compromised the local forces. It was not because they wanted to return to China, but because the local armed forces surrounded their people, so those who knew the times were Junjie, and they took the initiative to compromise.

It was just a car bomb attack, and since the Japanese Self-Defense Forces were stationed here for nearly 10 years, they have experienced many car bomb explosions, with the death toll reaching 123 and more than 300 injured and disabled. This is one of the main reasons why the Japanese people oppose sending troops overseas.

It was finally about to be withdrawn, which also made the Japanese soldiers stationed here breathe a sigh of relief. Their nerves were tense all the time. In the middle of the night, there was the sound of local armed men patrolling the streets in pickup trucks. The car whizzed by, and the lights flickered through the windows, making it difficult for Billie to sleep.

It wasn't until dawn that she fell asleep, and was woken up again at about five o'clock the next morning, and it was the sergeant, who beckoned Billie to leave with her. Hurry early.

Billie hurriedly ate a little breakfast, bought some water and food, and hit the road. She was still sitting with the corporal from yesterday. She sat in the co-pilot's seat. The corporal wasn't very talkative, and he didn't talk to Billie much. After leaving the camp, the convoy continued forward.

"When will we be able to get to Karbala?" Billie asked the corporal.

The corporal gave her a cold look and did not answer her question. Billie found it a little bored, so she kept silent. There are some places along the way where the yellow sand is long. It was hot and dry, and she was covered in sweat, and she wet her shirt to show her lines even more, which made the corporal glance at her a few times.

"Hey, the eagle calls the turkey." At this time, the on-board communication suddenly rang. The corporal laughed, and then replied, "Turkey received, please say eagle, don't tell me yours has provoked your ass to be exposed." Haha......" he laughed as he spoke. There was also a burst of laughter.

"All right, guys. Listen, now we're going to live in the area where the scum is constantly harassing. This is their traditional range, and we have to be careful and keep our spirits up. Watch your surroundings carefully, pay attention to the slopes, watch out for the garbage on the side of the road, and don't touch those things casually. ”

"Got it, Mom!" The corporal said solemnly. Immediately the men burst out laughing again. But they are also in the midst of this laughter, and they are beginning to be more vigilant. Since it is the traditional area controlled by the rangers, they must be careful.

Even in the event of an attack, it would take more than two hours to call for support from the base immediately. And it's the Japanese who came, and they didn't like the Japanese.

"Hey, Billy, I heard your girlfriend has a younger sister. It's the one who came to see you at the camp last time, and I want to say, why can't you introduce me to me? A voice came, "You know, I'm much better than you, at least I'll be serious about girls." ”

"You're a famous playboy, I don't dare introduce you to you, my girlfriend will kill me." The corporal couldn't help but laugh, "Listen, man, I'm going back next month." Finish the damn mission here and go back to Kansas and I'll get married to my girlfriend......"

"Haha, do you need me to be your best man? We can have a very exciting bachelorette party. The laughter of a man's voice over there, Billie could hear, as if it were the sergeant's voice.

"No, sergeant, I've already invited the best man, and I've been ready for a long time. My girlfriend is pregnant, the last time she came to see me, haha, that's the real reason why I'm going back. The corporal said this, smiling.

Billie couldn't help but smile and couldn't help but look at the corporal a few more times. The corporal is still very young, estimated to be twenty-one or twelve years old. With such a young father, that kind of pride can be contagious.

"I can be his godfather!" Someone shouted in the newsletter, "I'll teach him how to pick up girls." I promise, he's going to be the best, chick killer! There was another burst of laughter. The convoy is moving forward in such a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere.

Only in this way can they forget the fears they had along the way. In fact, each of them wanted to go home. (To be continued.) )
