After saying that, he continued to contact Kane, "How are you? Can you still move? And how are the rest of you doing? ”

"I can move. But there are two people who are more troublesome, and it may be difficult to cross the river. Kane replied.

"Don't worry. Deal with them, and I'll arrange for someone to pick you up right away. Stay there and don't move. Hold on! John looked across the other side after speaking, but he had no idea at all. It is impossible to fight back again, it is not a question of whether you are willing to do it or not, but you can't fight at all, after all, those Russians are not decorations, if they didn't have the advantage of being at night and prepared to be much more than the other party, they would have been swallowed up long ago. So at the moment he could only look at the other side and see what they were trying to do. If they attack again after a few moments, the only thing they can do is retreat. Although this was extremely cruel to Kane, as a commander, he had to be responsible for other people, responsible for the mission, and responsible for Hermet.

In contrast to John, who did not know what to do at the moment, the Russians on the West Bank quickly had a clear choice. After seeing Semolov and Sergei, who had lost consciousness, the men of the 74th Division immediately lost the motivation to continue fighting, and it should be said that they had completely lost the heart to continue fighting. Because their commander Chemov is already missing, some say that he is dead, but there is no accurate information at all. At the moment, all they wanted was to find Chemov and his wounded companions, and the others loved whoever they loved, and no one could command them here anyway.

The attitude of the 74th Division soon affected the remainders, causing the remainder to split. Some of them thought that their mission had failed tonight, that the real target had escaped the river, and that unless they were prepared to enter Georgian territory immediately, they should hurry up and treat the wounded like the men of the 74th Division, and then take the bodies of the dead and quickly withdraw to Arte.

Of course, there are also those who demand that the fight continue, at least to finish the unfinished battle, that is, to eliminate these Yankees who are still left on the shore of the West Bank. But this group of people is only a minority. Most of the people had their morale hit rock bottom after a night of hard fighting that felt like they were being led by the nose, especially at this moment when they lost their commander, and they didn't want to fight any more, they just wanted it to be over quickly.

Soon the men of the 74th Division withdrew to the direction of the road, while the rest of the GRU, originally brought by Sitkov, tried to contact those who could still give them orders at this moment. They thought of Sitkov first, he had only been injured but not dead, but he had not been able to contact him for a while.

And just as these Russians hesitated, John finally made up his mind. He quickly placed Thun and the rest of the men in several positions on the east bank, after making sure that there was really no movement on the west bank. He hurried to Pete with a pair of night vision equipment and a radio, and while handing the thing to Pete and helping him put it on, he whispered, "Don't rush ashore after you get there, change direction when you are almost on the other side, and get from the river to where Kane is." This will try not to attract the attention of those Russians, and also avoid their firing range as soon as possible. Do you understand? ”

Pete immediately nodded and said, "Understood." Don't go ashore first, and get to Kane from the river. ”

"Once you've found Kane, we'll check on them. Who can act on their own, who can't. After making sure you have enough manpower, you can decide what to do, and then report back to me in a timely manner, do you understand? ”

"Understood." After Pete nodded again, John quickly glanced across the bank and contacted Kane, "Kane, can you hear me?" ”

"I can hear it, it's clear." Kane replied with some weakness.

"Good. Listen buddy, hold on. Four people will cross the river to help you. Be prepared to throw away useless things, especially the wounded. They will come to you from the river behind you. See what I'm saying?" John asked.

"Understood." Kane replied and continued, "I'll start preparing right away. ”

Hearing Kane's answer, John immediately patted Pete on the shoulder and said, "Let's act." Don't rush to the past, be careful. We'll keep an eye on the other side. ”

Pete nodded and immediately walked to the river, and after the other three followed, he returned to the Ingre River and cautiously waded towards the west bank again with his gun in hand.

At this moment, Pete can be said to be very nervous, even more nervous than before. Especially at this moment, the surprisingly quiet atmosphere makes people feel a little weird and oppressive, which always makes me feel like I want to get out of here as soon as possible. But there is no turning back, it is like a gamble for him, and if he wins, he will become a hero among the Helmet mercenaries, and importantly, he will impress John and improve his status even more. But if you lose the bet, it's all over. He may not even be able to bring back the corpse, and he directly cheapens the fish in the Ingri River.

However, the most nervous at the moment was actually John in the rear, and the battle that night had turned out to be like this had greatly surprised him. Originally, in his plan, after passing through two blocking points, he should have distanced himself from the other party's pursuers and successfully crossed the river. In other words, in his imagination, the most dangerous time for his gang should have been spent long ago before they came to the place where they crossed the river. After suffering two blows, those on the other side should soon lose the courage to continue chasing in the dark woods, and give up completely.

But this is not the case, the other party not only did not give up, but also chased all the way, although the two blocking points they set up also played an important role but failed to stop the other party's pace, and even the effect of sluggishness was not well achieved. They bit themselves all the way, and finally almost pushed themselves into a desperate situation at the crossing of the river.

Such a result can only show that there is a problem with his own command. Of course, this also has something to do with the tenacity of their opponents. But these people under his command are only stronger than the other party, not weaker, and they are still the current result when they are obviously more prepared than the other party, which makes it difficult for John himself to think of what else can cause the current result.

So at this moment, John was extremely afraid that there would be new casualties in the battle that had not yet ended, and he suddenly felt that he was already a little unbearable to watch his own people fall into a desperate situation. Looking at Pete and the others who were crossing the river at great risk, he even wanted to close his eyes and not look at it.
