Chapter 124: Crossfire

Get off the road! Captain Pence, who was not a newcomer or a recruit, immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted, "All off the road." He thought that his convoy was in a marching formation at the moment, and if it stopped on the road, it could only be beaten passively, and the opponent used this road as a reference as long as he shot at this area, and it was very likely to hit. So the only way to get out of here is to quickly hide in the dark and then stabilize your position and launch a counterattack. But the militants in the ambushed town of Shad apparently anticipated their reaction, and just as the first rocket exploded, the other two rockets flew out of the darkness on either side of the road ahead.

"Rockets! Rocket! Watch out for the blast blast! "At the same time as someone was shouting, two rockets flew into the area of the convoy. One of them hit directly into the rear of a Humvee. The force generated by the explosion lifted the car directly from the ground and then fell heavily to the ground, only to see that the rear of the car was completely disfigured after hitting the ground, and the two rear wheels were long gone. The car itself also lost control and soon crossed close to the side of the road.

The other one hit the wrong one, hitting the middle of the road, to the right, that is, to the east, which is close to it, and exploded. "Car two, car two, they're done. We've got to fight back! Counterattack! ”

"Number one! Car No. 1 should still have people alive! ”

"Car No. 4 follows me." Burns yelled and turned to look ahead, only to see that someone in the town had started shooting at them. However, because it was night, the accuracy was not high, and many bullets hit the No. 1 and No. 2 cars, which had already begun to burn at the moment. And he saw someone staggering out of car number two, and after leaving the car, he fell to the ground.

"Prepare to fight back. Machine gun fire! Captain Pence couldn't help himself, and he yelled over the walkie-talkie as he motioned to the people around him, "Hold them down." Car No. 5, car No. 6, the people in the car got out of the car immediately after leaving the highway and the personnel unfolded in the west, we rescued the people first! ”

After receiving Pence's instructions, this group of American soldiers immediately went into action. Soon the machine guns of the two Humvees went off, and the bullets hit directly at the rear of the dug road. However, the heavy fire also helped the opponent mark the target in the dark.

The shooters quickly shifted the target of the shot, and in a short time the bullets hit the Humvees, who were already off the road. Fortunately, these Humvees are bulletproof, and the attack of such an ordinary bullet cannot cause substantial damage at all. At the same time, cars No. 5 and No. 6, which had been behind the convoy, quickly picked up speed under the cover of their companions' vehicles, and after leaving the road, they drove in the direction of the town, and immediately after leaving the opponent's firing range, someone controlled the machine gun and aimed it at the area near the road on the edge of the town.

"Form a line of defense! Form a line of defense. Seeing that cars No. 5 and No. 6 had successfully arrived at the predetermined position, Pence immediately took the walkie-talkie and shouted, "Prepare to cover, prepare to cover." Just as he shouted, the man operating the machine gun on the roof of the car shouted: "Captain, there are two people moving there in car number two." They need help! ”

Pence turned his head to look at the other cars that had all left the road and said, "Let's go and meet up with cars five and six first." Everyone is ready to get out of the car. After speaking, he looked at a person beside him: "Ma Wen! Take your squad over in a moment and bring the wounded back. ”

The man named Ma Wen looked nervous holding the gun, but he still nodded and said, "Understood." As he spoke, he said to a few people around him: "Follow me for a while." Don't run around. Follow me. ”

Cars No. 3 and No. 4 quickly drove behind cars No. 5 and No. 6, which had stopped and were connected from end to end. After the car stopped, the people in cars No. 3 and No. 4 got out of the car, except for those who were still controlling the machine guns. Pence hid behind his Humvee and looked out into the road. It's about a hundred or two hundred meters away from there at the moment. And the focus of the opponent's attack at the moment is no longer there, but on the No. 5 and No. 6 cars that are covering.

"Marwin." Pence called the man who had gone to bring the wounded back to his side, "They're attacking us right now. You take people to pass quietly, don't be busy saving people after you pass, and see how many people are still alive. If there is anyone alive in the car, get people out of the car first. And then we will ship it here, understand? Also, report to me as soon as you get there. ”

"Understood!" After agreeing, Ma Wen turned around and gestured to the four people behind him, and after seeing Pence's signal, the five people immediately ran towards the destroyed cars No. 1 and No. 2.

In the back, Pence watched nervously from both sides, and what he was most afraid of was that Ma Wen and the others would be attacked after they reached the side of the road. Or someone on the other side has already followed them from the dug road and found Marwin. But fortunately, Ma Wen and his people arrived at the car smoothly, and after observing for a while, they checked the people who started the car according to Pence's instructions.

"Sir." Marwin's voice came over the intercom.

"Ma Wen, how's it going?" Pence asked immediately.

"Both people outside the car are alive. There seem to be two other wounded people in the car, and the injuries may be serious. Everyone else seemed to be dead. Ma Wen said.

"Okay. Let's take a look at car number one. Be careful, send two people over first. Others kept their eyes wide open for cover. Pence said.

"Understood." Ma Wen immediately moved two figures towards car No. 1 after he agreed. At the same time, Pence looked to the northwest, where the Iraqis who had been traveling with him were still fighting at the moment.

"Hassan! Can Captain Hassan hear me? Hear it, please answer! Pence called out again, "Captain Hassan, please answer when you hear that?!" ”

"I am ... I'm Hassan. Finally Hassan's voice came after two calls, but before Pence could ask him about it, the Iraqi continued: "We are retreating." There's no way to pass here. The town is full of their people. ”

"Are you sure?" Pence didn't wait for him to answer before asking, "What about your losses?" ”

"I'm sure. This must be the point of attack they have set up. They're trying to keep us out here. Hassan said.

"Get back to me at once." "I've reached the west side of the road and formed a defensive line," Pence said. Bring them down and join me first. ”

"Ming... Got it. ”
