Chapter 117: Pursuit
But fortunately, I found some talents, such as the one named Pete not far from me. The experience of this day undoubtedly proves that Donovan's praise for this guy is not a deliberate compliment for the love of serving together. On the contrary, at the moment he even felt that Donovan's report underestimated this guy. Including the team that this guy was in was also very surprising. Originally, it was a problem team, but to be honest, I was not optimistic about it at first. It was precisely because they were not optimistic that they were in a hurry to replenish them with enough personnel, and after coming here, he sent them to the person who originally thought he was the safest, so that he could get some rare experience while minimizing the danger in Donovan.
But what happened later was far beyond my expectations. Eric, who originally seemed to himself to be honest and unmotivated, turned into a stubborn bastard who did not stop and did not stop achieving his goal. This makes the otherwise safe group the most dangerous. Not only did they experience the initial heavy Russian air raids, but they also experienced what is considered to be the most intense, fierce, and opponent-friendly shootout since the beginning of the war. This made me pessimistic for a while that they were finished, and they must be finished, especially after they were intercepted when they went out of the city, and felt that they were probably rushing to collect their bodies.
And when I found them by looking for the sound of gunfire, although it was a little miserable, it was much better than I thought. And after that, the group of Russians who pursued him also surprised him very much. You know, he hasn't met such an opponent for a long time. The combat effectiveness shown by the opponent, as well as the ability to adapt and the psychological control of their own side, all show that this is an extremely elite team. It was in this situation that Pete's 009 team, led by Donovan, not only did not fall but finally successfully brought Eric out.
All of this shows that they all have a good commander, that is, Donovan. He was able to stay with his few companions in difficult times and let them do what was right at the time. Of course, this man named Pete also played a big role, and it was his success in running with Eric all the way that caused the Russians to spend a lot of time and manpower searching for them alone, which bought time and opportunity for their own support and the survival of the Man-Eating Shark Squad.
And at this moment, this guy is still running by his side, not slacking, not tired, still sober-minded and maintaining a high degree of vigilance. In particular, the rocket that was fired not long ago helped everyone solve a big problem and get out of the predicament at once.
It seems that there are still a lot of masters under his command who are not expected by him, and the whole team may not be as pessimistic as he thinks, as long as these people are cultivated well, then they will be able to quickly recover their previous strength and complete those plans that have been made before. He felt a lot better when he thought of this, but at this moment, Kane's voice came from behind.
"Sir!" Kane quickly followed, "Later it was reported that there were Russians entering the woods. ”
Hearing the news, John didn't feel anything special. All of this is to be expected. They can put on such a big posture, of course, they will not give up easily. Although it didn't seem to him that there was much point in chasing them in, it was still necessary to guard against any other plans. Especially on the outer road, when he came, he arranged Toby to deliberately follow the road because he was worried about what would happen on this road, and at this moment, he was worried that this road would allow the other party to quickly approach or even surpass him from the west side, and then find a way to attack him. In this case, the blocking point arranged on the east side of the river, that is, on the other side of the river, will be difficult to play because of the fact that your people are in the middle, and it is likely that there will be some problems that you do not want to see.
"Speed up. Everyone took turns carrying the wounded. John said, turning his head to look ahead and said, "How far are we to get to Artemisone?" ”
"Two kilometers to go." Kane said: "At our current pace, it will take ten minutes to arrive. ”
"As soon as possible! Also, just in case, contact Thun and arrange for some people to come to us. so that they can pick us up at any time. ”
Kane immediately replied and began to make contact, while John quickly looked around at the people around him: "Everyone throw away useless things, and try to carry only rifles, ammunition and night vision equipment." Everybody speed up. Get through the first blocking point as soon as possible! ”
Hearing John's shout, everyone immediately took action, and while running, they quickly threw their backpacks, excess ammunition, grenade launchers, and rockets on the ground, and quickly increased their speed while throwing things and continued to run south.
The Russians, led by Chemov, who followed John and others, did not speed up and had no intention of doing so. Only a few of them were equipped with night vision devices, and although they were followed by a group of people, they could only see their way forward by occasionally firing flares into the air or by the light of their flashlights and the light that drove into the woods and stopped and turned their headlights into the woods. Therefore, they can't move quickly at all, and as they go deeper and deeper into the woods, all kinds of external light become weaker and weaker due to obstruction or their own attenuation, and the people who follow behind them are getting slower and slower, and even many of them have begun to grope their way forward or wait for the next flare to go up to the sky before continuing to move forward.
This makes the people in front of them equipped with night vision devices only slower and slower. They didn't dare to be too fast, the previous battle had already made them know how powerful, and they knew that if they really fought with those in front of them, there would be few people who were not opponents, and the people behind them would be like blind people who couldn't help at all. So from Chemov, who led them in, he walked slowly, stopping from time to time and waiting for the others behind.
It's just that it's hard to keep up with the target at this speed. He didn't go far before a man next to Chemov reminded Chemov after watching the Yankees in front of him disappear one after another: "Captain, they ran away." ”
In fact, he didn't need to be reminded that he knew, but since someone said it, he simply stopped and looked ahead. After seeing that the figures of the Yankees in front of him had almost completely disappeared, Chemov not only did not rush but also breathed a sigh of relief.
Naturally, he would not rush to chase them, after all, his current task was to lock the direction of their escape, and the guy named Semolov was naturally arranging actions against these people in other directions. So he looked to see if the Yankees were really speeding up and were not pretending to kill them, and then he raised his feet and continued to walk forward.
