Chapter 44: Choice

Donovan looked at it and said, "Go to the back first." The gang didn't know what tricks they were playing. But no matter what, since the fight has become like this, then they will definitely not give up easily. As he spoke, he saw Second Lieutenant Loria, who had walked by, looking embarrassed. Donovan grabbed him and said, "Are all your people here?" ”

Loria nodded quickly and was ready to move on, but instead of letting go, Donovan pulled him back and continued, "Organize your people, and organize the rest of your people." Donovan said as he stared into his Loria's eyes, apparently seeing only fear in his eyes, not listening to Donovan's words at all. So Donovan did not rush to repeat his request again, but slowed down his voice and said: "Second Lieutenant Loria, calm down, calm down." Now they are not chasing them. We repelled them, they did not pursue. As he spoke, he pointed to Pete, who was lying on the hillside on guard, and said, "See? My people are watching them. Don't worry, calm down. Listen, the gunfire has stopped. We repelled them. ”

Loria turned her head to look at Pete above, and slowly calmed down after making sure that Pete was indeed on the alert and that the gunfire around her had indeed stopped. "We repelled them?" Second Lieutenant Loria asked incredulously.

"Yes. They were repulsed by us. Really repulsed. Donovan said again.

After confirming that the other party did not shoot again, and that the people around him were safe, Loria sat directly on the ground with her legs weak.

Donovan looked at Morris first and said, "Let Jeff go to the back first." Evans isn't doing very well, go check him out. ”

Morris didn't say anything more, but helped Jeff back. Donovan sat down next to Loria, and at this moment Donovan felt that he still needed these Georgians, at least to help transport the wounded, otherwise it would be difficult to maintain the speed of movement during the subsequent escape. So he had to reassure the young lieutenant in front of him and let him control the surviving Georgians as much as possible.

"But we're not out of danger." Donovan sat down and then spoke, "I guess there's someone else on the way." ”

This sentence made Loria nervous again, and he looked at Donovan and said eagerly, "Then why don't we get out of here quickly?" ”

"I have to get out of here." Donovan nodded, and turned his head to look at the Georgians who had gathered around Avery and Eric, "But if we run like this, do you think we can run out?" ”

Loria glanced at his own people, and he knew that they were just as frightened as he was at the moment. There are too many dead and too many losses. Although everyone knows that there are always people who die in a war, no one expected that there would be such a large number of casualties in a short period of time, and they just watched the people who were still alive being killed one after another. This was something they couldn't accept for a while, and they were facing an enemy that they couldn't defeat. Although these people did not have as many as their own, they did not suffer any casualties, and in the round after round of attacks, their own side suffered heavy casualties while not causing much trouble to the other party. This brought an already fragile confidence to the brink of collapse. And his order to retreat just now undoubtedly became the last straw that broke the camel's back. The entire retreat quickly turned into a rout under the fierce attack of the other party, and it was not only the people who fled from such a rout, but also their own confidence. Running and getting out of here became the only thing that could come to mind.

"You've got to get them organized. Lead them out of here with us. Donovan stared at Loria and said, "Can you do it?" ”

Loria looked at Donovan and then at the Georgians under him, nodded, "What should I do?" ”

Donovan saw Loria say this, although he knew that this young ensign didn't have too many options, but he was slightly relieved and immediately spoke: "How many of you still have now?" ”

"About fifteen people. However, there were two other minor wounded among them. Loria said.

Having lost more than half, Donovan sighed slightly and said, "Let them check their weapons and equipment." Your main task is to take care of the wounded and keep guard. My men are responsible for cover and combat missions. Of course, it's best if you can pick a few good players from the rest of the people. But if you don't, that's okay. We're here anyway, and we're going to have to go anyway. Unless you are prepared to be captured by the Russians or killed. ”

Loria listened to Donovan's words and said with some excitement: "I just want to go home." As long as you can go home, you can do anything. ”

"I want to, too." Donovan stretched out his hand and patted Loria and said, "I don't want to stay here like you, but now we can only run out if we are united." Let's go, go and get your people organized. Let's get out of here. ”

Loria didn't say anything more, although he didn't want to fight anymore and just wanted to run away, but the little reason in his heart told him that Donovan was right. If your gang runs around without a plan, they won't be able to get out at all, maybe they will get lost soon, and with the ability of their own people, compared to these Yankees, when the enemy chases them, it will definitely be their own gang that will die first.

Thinking of this, Loria stood up and walked quickly to her men, who were still in fear. Donovan naturally stood up and followed him to the others.

The Georgians were in even worse condition than Donovan had imagined, and these people were not just defeated, but rather discarded. Three or four of them had already thrown their guns away, so they ran all the way with their bare hands.

Donovan didn't care about them anymore, as the Maneater Squad was in equally bad shape. He came to Ochoa, who was treating Evans' injuries, and after crouching down, he looked at Evans, who was still conscious, and said, "Pete helped you kill that sniper." ”

Evans laughed when he heard this, and said, "That's a shame. I thought I could kill him. ”

"Don't talk." Donovan reached out and took Evans' hand and said, "Rest well, we'll get out of here." With that, he glanced at Ochoa. Ochoa understood, stood up and walked to the side with Donovan, and without waiting for Donovan to ask, he said, "He lost a lot of blood." Penetrating wound, the bullet did not remain inside, but the wound of the bullet was relatively large, and there may be a fracture. At present, the situation is not bad, but it is definitely impossible to walk on his own, let alone fight, and the time cannot be long, so he must leave here as soon as possible to treat the wound, transfuse blood for surgery and sutures. ”
