"Let's go!" Pete saw that the opponent's firepower was weakened, and immediately shouted while walking out from behind the tree and walking directly onto the river beach.

When I first stepped on the river beach, I can say that I felt very bad. Because of the loss of any cover for a while, Pete always felt that he could be hit at any time, and the sound of bullets that did not fly by his side made his muscles tighten unconsciously, making the whole person's movements appear a little stiff, and this undoubtedly increased the consumption of physical energy.

Colin who was following him sensed the change in Pete, and he said as he helped Toby, "Relax buddy." Relax, now is not the time to exhaust your physical strength. Soon they couldn't see us, relax. ”

Pete knew it wasn't right, but as he struggled to adjust, he had already crossed the beach and walked into the river. Although the river was not deep at first, the path full of river pebbles under my feet often made it difficult to control my balance. Especially when the river is slowly rising, the thrust and buoyancy are getting bigger and bigger, making it difficult for Pete to control his center of gravity. Fortunately, Colin was firmly supported behind him, and the two walked very slowly so that they barely fell, and slowly approached the other side of the river.

But at that moment, the sound of cannonballs whistling from the night sky was heard again. Pete, who was already struggling with his steps, hesitated for a moment, he wanted to speed up and reach the opposite bank as soon as possible to avoid being injured by the shelling. But once you get fast, it's hard to control your balance, and more importantly, it doesn't guarantee that you won't be able to reach the other side without any accidents, but it's easy to be self-defeating. But he did not hesitate for long, for soon the shells fell, one exploding on the shore about forty or fifty meters from Pete and the others at ten o'clock, and the other landing on his left flank, about sixty or seventy meters away. The violent explosion splashed the river high in all directions, and the violent vibrations caused by it were quickly transmitted through the river. I felt that the water that was slowly flowing around the part of my drive in the water suddenly hardened, as if it suddenly became solid and hit me hard. The splash of water can also hurt when it hits exposed areas such as the head and face.

Although Pete tightened his muscles and lowered his center of gravity in advance, his hands tightened his grip on Toby. But when the shockwave came and hit him, Pete still felt a flash in front of him, and then his legs slid out uncontrollably to the right.

Pete immediately tried to focus himself and control his center of gravity, at this moment the water flow was completely chaotic due to the explosion, and his whole body was very stiff because he had to resist the impact and tense his muscles, so although he tried to stabilize himself, the actual effect was not good. After stumbling a few times in a row, he fell to the right side. And Colin, who was behind him, couldn't protect himself at the moment, just now he didn't stabilize and sat down and poured his saliva hard. Although he still remembered what he was going to do and reached out to try to keep Toby on his feet and steady Pete, it didn't actually help.

At that moment, a pair of hands lifted Pete in front of him. Pete looked up and saw that a man had come from the other side to support him, and another man was running towards him behind him.

Pete's abdomen had begun to tumble at the moment, and he tried to hold his breath and said, "Help me and carry him away." ”

The man who came to help quickly reached out and took Toby, and with the help of Colin, who had regained his feet, he successfully carried Toby on his shoulder, and quickly moved towards the opposite shore with the help of another person who came to help from behind.

Without Toby, Pete suddenly relaxed, feeling like he could jump out of the water and jump directly onto the shore if he tried his best. But before he could catch his breath, the shells flew again, but this time they all landed on the other side.

Pete didn't dare to slack off, he endured the pain and grabbed Colin, who was still coughing violently, and sped up to the opposite bank, after trying to wade fifty or sixty meters, finally the riverbed under his feet began to slowly become higher, the water level slowly fell and soon reached below the waist, and after a while it dropped to the legs.

"Hurry!" Pete pulled Colin by the wheel and ran to the riverbank. On the shore, when the two men who had come to help came ashore, one of them immediately picked up a rifle from the ground and ran north.

Pete quickly went ashore, and when he got ashore, he lay down on the grass by the river with his legs limp. Colin, who came up behind him, was relatively better, and after turning the breath of choking on the water upside down, there was no problem, just holding on to a tree on the shore and rubbing his stomach, which was still swollen at the moment.

"Hey! You two! Someone yelled at Pete and Colin, "Come here! If you can still move, come here! ”

Hearing someone shouting, Pete got up from the ground again and quickly glanced at the person who was shouting, it was Howard, who was now leading a few people to shoot at the target in the woods on the opposite bank. Pete looked across the bank in the direction they were shooting, and saw that John had already arrived at the river with the men who had been with him, and was about to start crossing. Kane and the others were still trying to shoot at the Russians who were chasing them, but the other party's position was closer than before they crossed the river, and the number of them seemed to be increasing.

Colin, who also saw this scene, quickly said to Pete, "They need our help. Follow me. With that, he ran out.

Pete didn't dare to slack off, he knew that the situation was still grim at the moment, there were still many people who had not crossed the river, and the blocking points or defensive lines set up before had all failed at this moment. At this moment, the people on the west bank have been squeezed into a small area, and if they want to retreat in their entirety, they can only rely on these people on the east bank to try their best to cover them, suppress the opponent's attack, and buy them time to cross the river.

But when Pete ran to Howard's side, he found that his rifle was gone, and he remembered that he had thrown away Toby and his rifle before crossing the river to reduce weight. So he quickly looked at the person closest to him: "Gun, I need a gun." ”

This man was supposed to be a member of Howard's team, and after hearing Pete's shout, he turned to look at Howard and said, "Do we have any extra guns?" He needs weapons. ”

Howard, who heard the shout, quickly turned his head and looked at Pete, and said, "Let him come." Come here. ”
