These people did not directly attack the strongest American at the moment, that is, the head of the entire front, and the slender wings became the target of these two armed men. This attack caught Pence, who had planned to continue north, a little unprepared. After receiving various requests for support from others in the rear, he immediately understood the plans of the militants. So he immediately said to the second lieutenant Terry in front of him, who had rushed to support him, "Second lieutenant, take your platoon to the south." They're trying to cut us off now. ”

Second Lieutenant Terry also looked a little flustered at the moment, he didn't understand what Pence meant, so instead of acting immediately, he said, "What should I do?" Whether to hold back those men from attacking or to go south to protect the wounded and secure a passage for you to evacuate. ”

Pence thought about it for a moment, "Our task is not to hold on here, but to open a road to Alsabad, where there are people who urgently need us to get there. So I'm not going to go back, I'm going to keep going, and your job is to make sure that the people in the rear aren't crushed and eliminated, and that you're going to have to hold on until the rescue team arrives and leaves with the wounded. ”

Hearing Pence say this, Terry frowned and said, "But what are you doing here?" I was also tasked with going to Alsabad. ”

"Didn't they tell you who to be in command when you get here?" Pence asked without waiting for Terry to finish.

"You're in charge, of course." Terry replied immediately.

"Then forget Alsabad. Now the small town of Shahad is where you're going to fight. Take your people and go. Hurry up, if someone chops it like a sausage, oh we're all over in the south. After speaking, he looked at the man named Ma Wen who was not far away and said, "Ma Wen, take your squad and go back with Second Lieutenant Terry." After speaking, he looked at the others and said, "Let people continue to attack." Get Captain Hassan. Just go! ”

At the urging of Pence, several people began to move, only to see Terry and one of his platoons immediately turn around and head south, and after about 200 meters, they encountered a friendly army that was being attacked. I saw that there were five or six people guarding a house here, constantly shooting at the people on the west side. Seeing this, Terry immediately asked people to get out of the car and prepared to launch a counterattack on the west side, but before they could spread out the formation, the opponent had already attacked them first.

In the darkness on the west side, a rocket suddenly flew out and hit the building behind a Humvee jeep after crossing half the street. Although the explosion did not directly destroy the Humvee, it blew up a soldier who was operating the machine gun and directly lost consciousness and slipped into the car, followed by a burst of machine gun sound and bullets rained down, and the people who were about to attack could only seek dodge at the moment, only a small number of people were still shooting towards the west side.

"Fight back!" Terry beckoned as he looked into the driveway of a Hummer behind him: "Cover shot!" Hurry! ”

In fact, without saying it, the machine gun in the car behind him had already gone off, and the people in the car and the people behind them quickly leaned over to the west side of the road after getting out of the car. However, the covering fire of the machine gun did not effectively suppress the opponent, but after a burst of heavy fire, a rocket flew out again slightly to the north, that is, behind the side of Terry's platoon. I didn't notice this at all at the moment, so not only did no one dodge or even call the police loudly, so it was only after the rocket hit a Humvee and flipped the Humvee on the side of the road that the others really reacted.

"Rear, they're in the rear." As someone called the police, a burst of fire came from behind, and the momentum seemed to be even more violent than the one that had just attacked them. This made Terry puzzled, and he couldn't figure out the specific intentions of the other party for a while, whether they were going to block him from the front, that is, from the south side, or attack him from the north side behind him. And just when he was wondering, Marwin, who had been sent by Burns to return with Terry, ran over and said, "Second Lieutenant! There were people in the south who were crying for help, and they said they were under siege there. ”

Terry immediately looked to the south side when he heard Marwin say this, and saw that there was also a fierce exchange of fire at the moment, and judging from the constant flashes of fire and gunfire, the intensity was no worse than here. This made Terry anxious, for it was a place where the bodies of the wounded and the dead were parked at midnight, and it would be a big deal if they were to be taken. However, at this moment, he felt that the other party's attack was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, but hidden some kind of insidious intention. It's just that he couldn't think of the exact thing for a while, so he didn't move but looked at Ma Wen first: "You have to tell Captain Pence about the situation here, and ask him if he needs us to rush south desperately to join up with the people there and protect it." Isn't it that we don't need to cover the rear of him and his men, it's too long to stretch on both sides here, and we have limited manpower to take care of it. Ask him, what does he want me to do? ”

Marwin immediately contacted after agreeing, and at the moment on the north side, Pence was in a good situation. The enemy in front of him was still in a state of defense and beating, and he was directing people to attack in an orderly manner, although there were cold bubbles from time to time, but this did not affect the offensive. So after hearing Marwin's request, Pence only thought about it briefly and said, "Tell Terry to make him resolutely go south." The purpose of these people is to waste our time here. What they want most is for them to lead us by the nose, turn south and give up where we have been captured, after which they will retreat and do what we have done all over again. That's what they're for. So don't worry about my back, as long as he and us attack on both sides separately, then the other side will not be able to take care of both sides at the same time, and as long as we break through their defenses here, they will definitely come back to stop us, and then the initiative will be back in our hands. See what I mean? ”

"Understood! I told him to keep going south. Ma Wen said.

"Yes. That's it. Good luck. After Pence finished the communication, he looked at the Iraqi Hassan next to him and said, "Captain Hassan, you need to arrange some men to cover our rear." The other side is attacking our south flank, and I have asked the platoon supporting us to go south as soon as possible, and soon there will be no more of us between us and the south flank, so in order to prevent someone from sneaking up on us from behind, we have to make some arrangements in advance. ”
