Chapter 117: School
Pete withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at these people, and Ochoa, who was in traffic, spoke again: "These people don't know what will happen. Hopefully those bastards still have a little humanity. ”
Pete sighed and said, "I hope so." He said this, but in his heart he knew that the fate of these people was likely to be killed. In such a situation, it is difficult for them to survive even if they surrender. He had seen a lot of such things when he was in the service. For those militants, these people are traitors, shameless doglegs who help the enemy, and such people can be killed by anyone without any psychological burden.
The convoy soon continued westward, and the defeated men did not chase it all the time. Because the sound of gunfire from other directions was coming towards them very quickly. Some of them picked up their guns again, but instead of preparing for battle, they ran out in a direction to the west or northwest.
About five minutes later, the convoy had climbed a slope and stopped at a fairly complete fence. Then Faiz was heard: "This is where we are prepared to hold out." As he spoke, someone got out of Faiz's Humvee, and quickly came to the fence as if a door had been opened, and then motioned for the car to go in.
Pete immediately followed the Humvee, driven by Morris, into the walls through a tattered iron gate. The inside of the fence is like an open space, which looks like a playground, which means that it should have been a school or something. Morris's car stopped as it drove to the playground, while Pete pulled over next to his car and immediately stopped, opened the door and got out of the car.
"Are we just going to resist here?" Morris asked immediately after getting out of the car.
Donovan looked around and said, "It's a school, right?" After asking, he looked at Faiz, who also got out of the car, and said, "Why did you choose here, are you familiar with this place?" ”
Faiz did not answer immediately, but gestured to the armored car that did not come in. I saw a total of about a dozen people coming down from the two armored vehicles and running here quickly. After Faiz explained this, the men divided into two teams, one went to the opposite side of the gate, and the other team quickly ran to the school building. It was only after the two teams were up to action that Faiz spoke: "This is a high terrain. The prison is in our northeast direction. That is to say, if those people are going to chase after them, there is a good chance that they will come from the northeast, along the uphill road we have walked. ”
"You mean they're going to go into a state of back-attacking?" Donovan Road.
"That's right." Faiz said, pointing to the school building behind the playground that had been badly damaged in many places, and continued: "You can observe the surroundings from there. When attacked, the opponent may go around to the north or west. That's fine. On the north side, I arranged for people to come over, the group of people who had just run out, and they were guarding the row of houses across the street outside the gate, and the north side of this row of houses could see the street to the north of us, and if the other party wanted to come from the north side or go around from the north side to the west, they would find it, and then they would attack it. ”
"And what about our south side?" Pete asked, "What is our south side like?" ”
Faiz shrugged his shoulders and said, "Our south side is troublesome. Outside the southern wall, across the street is an abandoned dwelling. It's all multi-storey buildings, and it's hard to defend them, because we have limited manpower. All we can do is we can occupy this place and rely on this school to resist. ”
"We'll have to take a look." "The fact that the other side has beaten the whole of Al Sabad like this so quickly shows that they are not only well prepared but also very well manned, and according to the arrangement just now, we will cause problems for them." But these people don't keep being stupid. They would certainly study the surrounding terrain and be bothered to them, and the south side would certainly be used by them. ”
"Then go check it out." Donovan said as he walked to the gate, and at the same time he looked at Morris and said, "Morris, take someone to take the things out of the car first, go upstairs to have a look, set up the observation point, we have to hold on here." ”
"Understood." Morris immediately took the people around him and began to lift things again.
"Captain. Take us to see it. Donovan called out to Faiz, and when he came to the gate, he pointed to the BTR that had retreated into the opposite path and said, "Are you going to ambush this guy here?" ”
"Yes." Faiz nodded and said, "All we have to do now is to delay as much time as possible." I have contacted Major McGison in Mosul before, and the men who support us have already left, and judging by the time, they should have left Mosul by this time, which means that we will only need to hold out for forty minutes and an hour at most to get through this difficult time. ”
"I hope so." Donovan's voice clearly didn't have much confidence. After all, everyone knows that there will be a call for support from Mosul, so these people will not be left without countermeasures. And what can be thought of at this moment is very simple, either it is to block halfway, layer by layer, similar to the kind of encirclement and reinforcement, or it will be crazy in the next period of time, trying to take their target in the shortest possible time, and at the same time set up personnel south of Alsabad to block the reinforcements and cover the retreat of the people in the city.
But no matter what, my gang won't have a good time here. It would be better if the other side didn't have their own people in the target, maybe they would have achieved their goal after the prison was captured, and maybe they would have evacuated. That's the most likely thing to happen at the moment, but if they're doing something else, it's 。。。。。 But that shouldn't be possible. They shouldn't have their own gang, to be precise, they can't target Meghan and Zelda. Because the timing is too accurate, how is this done?
While Donovan was trying to calm himself down and analyze the situation, they made a detour to the south. To the south, as Faiz had said, there was a road separating the school from a residential building. The street-facing side of the residential building used to look like it was walled, but now most of it has collapsed. A closer look at these buildings reveals that most of them are dilapidated, with some places not only having bullet holes, but also collapsing to varying degrees. The road outside is not wide, with pedestrian peninsulas on both sides of the road, and the middle road is only big enough for two cars to drive side by side.
