Chapter 14 The beginning of everything is difficult
"Change of strategy?" Pete asked puzzled, "Can't beat the retreat?" Wait for a chance to come back? ”
"It would be nice if that were the case." Donovan shook his head, "If that's the case, there will be no future. Because the people who came to help were already on their way. There's not a lot of time left for these people. The change I'm talking about is that they were meant to catch it alive. You know that it makes sense to them to catch what is alive, or that it has a greater meaning. Only living hostages in exchange for profit, and influence. The dead can only invite revenge. But our resistance may have angered them. Some of them had rockets with them, and just when I thought they might be able to back down for a while, the rockets flew towards us. Donovan said and gestured with his hand to the trajectory of the rocket's flight, "Whoosh... It just flew past me on my left. Then it exploded near the people we rescued. Donovan looked at me as he spoke, "One of our people was blown out. Ellie was knocked unconscious, and one of the people we were trying to protect was injured. But it wasn't over yet, and then another shot, and although the person who fired the rocket was hit by us, the rocket still flew out and hit a tree near us and exploded, and the fragments injured people, although it wasn't fatal, but you know that the wounded on the battlefield are more troublesome than the dead. After that, a fierce attack was launched on the convenience. Donovan said and touched his head, a knee-jerk action that showed that he was very annoyed at the moment, "To be honest, I was a little overwhelmed by the situation at that time. Too much unhappiness. The problems within this squad erupted all at once under unfavorable circumstances, like a powerful virus. I suddenly felt like I was losing control of the squad at that moment. ”
Pete looked at Donovan, he knew the man. This guy isn't one who loses his bearings in a panic. On the contrary, this is a person with a lot of experience and strong psychological qualities, a veteran of the Force recon. And when he said that he lost control and was overwhelmed, he couldn't control the people in the team. So Pete spoke, "They don't listen to you?" ”
"Yes." Donovan immediately admitted, "I think we should get out of here as soon as possible." I tried to reorganize everyone, but they were actually working on their own. Maurice and Matt are red-eyed, and they have long forgotten about their mission, that is, those to protect. They only had those who started attacking again, and Evans and the men were reluctant to leave, on the grounds that if they left, Morris would be immediately isolated and outflanked. I had no choice but to act on my own. I ran to my left. Came to Evans and them. They are already in chaos at the moment, the wounded are unattended, and the manpower in the face of the opponent's attack is insufficient. Many of the people we have to escort are still exposed to the opponent's firing range, and there is no good cover at all. So I had to command the people who were being escorted. Let them take the wounded and continue in the direction of our retreat. I said it was formulated, but I was a little panicked at the time. I led the people to a relatively high place, and in a panic we ran up a small hill. The terrain was relatively high above the place where the fighting was still fighting, and I was forced to stop because it was extremely painful to walk here with the wounded. And just as I stopped, I saw someone coming around Evans and their side. And at the moment, Evans, Jeff, and Ochoa no one noticed this. And Maurice they can't count on it. So I ... So I rushed back on. Donovan looked at Pete, "This is my hardest decision so far." Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with this decision. I disrupted the other party's plan, and Evans realized that it would not work any longer, and began to retreat as I asked. But as Evans had feared, when they backed away, Morris and they were in a desperate situation. But fortunately, from time to time, those well-trained professional soldiers on the other side. Perhaps they were better suited to an ambush than a life-and-death assault, and instead of seizing the opportunity, they let the side continue to go around the hillside. However, we were condescending, and these people who tried to outflank us were quickly beaten and could not hold their heads up, and soon after, the other side made another mistake, that is, when we had run out of ammunition and could not retreat, the other side gave up. Maybe they felt that the loss was too great, and at the same time they didn't cause us too much damage. So instead of continuing the attack, they voluntarily withdrew from the battle. ”
"I have to say, you're lucky. I'm referring to what you just said. Pete said.
"Yes. I think so too. But that's all that is left of the Man-Eating Shark Squad. All of them who didn't show up here died that day. The Man-Eating Shark Squad has also become the team with the most attrition in recent times, and it has suddenly become the most unlucky and worst one. Donovan looked disappointed at this, "What's more important is that everyone lost trust in each other after that time." It hasn't gotten any better until today. ”
"So... So what do we do? Pete looked at Donovan with his hands outstretched, "How can I help?" ”
Donovan didn't say anything, just said, "Sorry for letting you hear this on your first day." But I think it's necessary for you. ”
"Very necessary. Although the start was not good... But there is a saying in my hometown that everything is difficult at the beginning. So I think everything will be fine as long as you work hard. Pete said.
"Huh." Donovan smiled and said, "It's hard at the beginning. I love this Chinese phrase. After speaking, he seemed to be in a better mood, "You don't have to worry about the rest of the matter." The following training is nothing for you. What I want you to do is show yourself and let them know that if they don't want to do it, just to free up a spot, this team will only be better than they were when they were. ”
"Huh. I want to get to know each other with them and become real comrades-in-arms. Pete smiled.
"Of course." Donovan, "It would be nice if they were all like you. After saying that, Donovan let out a long sigh and said, "Okay." Then the unlucky bastard's accusation is over. Let's take you around. Are you sure you don't have to go back and pack up? ”
"Uh... The only thing to pack was to send the clothes back in the bag and then bring some more clothes. And bicycles. Pete said.
Donovan smiled and nodded, "I'll take you down." Remember to come back on time to assemble. ”
Pitt walked out, stopped halfway through, and turned back and said, "That dinner... Does what you said before at the shooting range still count? ”
"Of course. Matt, he couldn't hide. He has to pay something. Haven't you been in a training camp before, and you're afraid that you won't be able to buy anything there? Donovan said as he followed Pete before opening the door and leaving, "You have to behave well in the training camp after that." I know you Orientals like to be low-key and introverted, but here it is the opposite, there is no need to be afraid of being in the limelight, this is a very realistic place, the strong survive. The more powerful you are, the more flamboyant you are, and the more people trust you. If you want to fit in quickly, do your best. ”
