Pete stared at the map and said, "Then the first point should be as close to Alter as possible." I think when they first react, the pursuit will be the fiercest and the pressure will be the greatest. ”

John glanced appreciatively at Pete and said, "Yes." That's a good point. As he spoke, he clicked on Alter's location and said, "The first blocking point is three kilometers away from the river outside Alter, and I have given it the code name Artemison. When the rescuers left Alter, all they had to do was make their way to the river. As long as they can run past the blocking point, then they can concentrate on moving forward, quickly running to the next blocking point, and the pursuers will be attacked by the people who are lying in ambush on this side of the river, suppressing them in their own blocking area. And the next location I'm planning to be two kilometers away from here. It is codenamed Onsenseki. John pointed to the north and said, "There is also a bend in the river there, and they are blocked just outside the bend, so that the rescue team can be as little as exposed to each other as possible when crossing the river." After saying that, John stood up and came to the truck they came to haul equipment and said: "At that time, the opponent will have a lot of manpower, and even if it is a sudden attack, it will not be very long for the people who are blocking the attack to fire, so we must be strong in the configuration of firepower, and we must be able to knock the opponent out in the first time." So, those who remain can't just rely on the rifle in their hand. After he finished speaking, he looked at the person in front of him and said, "Thun." I'll leave the task of blocking to you and your squad. ”

Pete looked at the man named Thun, who was black. I didn't have much of an impression before, but I knew that it was a temporary transfer later, probably a team that flew from Rome and was responsible for escorting and transporting equipment.

The man, named Thune, saw John point to himself, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Yes, sir." ”

John pointed to the truck and said, "There are two PKM machine guns on it, enough ammunition." There were also two 82-mm mortars. I suggest you use these two guns at the second point of attack, although the first point may be more effective there, but I think there is more need for strong and dense firepower than sporadic shelling. In addition to these there are two RG-6 grenade launchers, and two RPG-7 rockets. You and your people can pick first. Leave the rest to others. ”

Thun said yes and immediately waved his hand at his own people and began to move the equipment on the cart. And while they were busy, John continued to say to the others, "Rest of you, we will cross the river together after nightfall, and go north along the river to the south of the small town of Arte. John said, picked up the map again, unfolded it, and looked at it, "Actually, I don't know what this little town is like, where it is suitable to enter the city, where the road leads, and where the road leads. We can only scout once we get there, and only after we get some information can we determine what we should do. ”

"How can the people we want to save be contacted?" One of the people around John said, "Perhaps it would be safer for them to find out in the darkness of the night." ”

John laughed and said, "According to the last contact with them, they are hiding in a basement called the Decazar garage southwest of Art. Contact with them came and went, but I brought a positioning device, and it shouldn't be a problem to find this garage. But it is unlikely that they will find out for themselves, and the Russians must be intensifying their search for them. So let them figure it out for themselves, most likely, it will come across not us, but the Russians. ”

Just then, Colin came running briskly from the river, and before he came to John, he said, "That thing works." Reconnoitred on the other side of the river, and it was useless to find anything suspicious within 500 meters. ”

"Good." John nodded and looked at the others, "Get your equipment." Bring enough ammunition, especially communication stations, and night vision devices to check whether they have enough power. After speaking, he looked at Thun and said, "Have you chosen all the equipment?" ”

Thun glanced at the things that had been lifted out of the car and put aside, and said, "It's already chosen." ”

John nodded and said, "Take these people with you, and we'll set the location." ”

"Understood!" At the same time that Thun agreed, John took Pete and Colin and others to the minibus that brought them over, and after Thun and the others also got into the car, the car first came to the second blocking point set by John two kilometers away.

After getting out of the car, John took Thun to the woods by the river, and pointed to the other side of the river: "When the time comes, the returning people will run over the opposite river, and the task of the second blocking point is to be sure to suppress the other party at the bend, so that they do not cross the bend of the river and approach the place where the returning people cross the river." Then there may still be other boats on the river, and whoever it is, I will knock it out. Do you understand? ”

"Understood!" Thun agreed, and immediately turned back to discuss with his team, and after looking back and forth, he quickly determined who remained here, where the weapons were set up, and where they were located.

Pete stood by and watched, these people were all professional, and after deciding on the plan, they quickly assigned people and clarified their tasks. After arranging and leaving the men behind to begin the arrangement immediately, the rest of the men continued to get into the car and rushed to the first blocking point on the lower north side, closer to Art.

After coming here, John was noticeably more careful than before. He didn't let everyone go to the river, but took Thun to the river alone, so Pete didn't know exactly what they arranged, but just watched the two take turns looking at the river with binoculars, and exchanged for a while before walking back.

After setting up the place, John pointed to the bus that had brought them here and said, "You come with me in a moment." Let your people be laid out here. When you get back, the car will be yours to use. When you're done here, grab your gear and ride quickly to the second stoppage. Remember, the second point of attack must be used for me, and until everyone is back on the Georgian side, you must not stop firing, not only but fiercely, so that the other side cannot pass through that bend of the river. ”

When they returned to the place where they had planned to cross the river, the people who were going to cross the river for rescue were ready. John, after glancing at the setting sun, gathered everyone in front of him again and said, "Everyone. Today should be our last battle in Georgia. But it could also be the toughest battle Helmet has ever had. After all, the opponent is Russian, and we don't know much about where we're going. The only thing that is certain is that they must be more than us. ”
