Chapter 10 Crossing the Border

Gevra sat up from the boat depressed, "Damn, how do you sleep with this?" This movement made me feel that the artillery position was just outside the wall. ”

Pete looked at him and said, "Heavy shelling, indicating that the Georgian attack has begun." You can get two earplugs, plug your ears and continue to sleep. Maybe we'll get out of here by four o'clock tomorrow morning. ”

Shortly after the heavy shelling began on the outskirts of Gori, the phone rang in an office in Moscow, Russia. The person sitting in front of the office was Mr. Eunice, who had dined at the White Rabbit restaurant that day. As soon as he picked up the phone and connected it, the voice of Ivan, who had reported to him last time, was heard in the receiver.

"Sir. Information has just been received that Georgian troops have crossed the border into South Ossetia under the cover of shelling. The troops of South Ossetia could not resist and were retreating. Ivan said.

Eunice not only did not appear surprised but a little excited when he heard the news, he smiled and looked at the time and said, "Finally did it, didn't let me wait in vain all night." So if the night passes, will they be able to get to Tskhinvali? ”

"If we follow the information we have, then I don't think our speculation will change, and tomorrow before dawn, the Georgians will launch a siege on Tskhinvali."

"Very good. Ha ha. Younis looked very happy and said, "My biggest concern is that they are hesitant. I will report it immediately, and hopefully by this moment those peacekeepers of ours have entered Tskhinvali and are ready. Hey. Also, you have to inform our people in Tskhinvali and tell them to evacuate first. By the way, did they give you a list of people to be arrested? ”

"Give it to me, I've already arranged it." Ivan Dao.

"Good. Also, are the people who are specifically used to capture ready? I mean the guys who deal with the Yankees. Younis asked, smiling.

"Ready. The four GRU teams are ready to go. The current news is that the Yankees have hired a group of mercenaries to protect their diplomatic and intelligence personnel, some of whom have gone to Abkhazia and others to Tskhinvali. I've already gotten some of the information through our guys in Georgia, and I'm waiting for the bastards to go into the war zone separately. ”

Younis nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, good." Then I'll wait for your good news. So be it. ”

Although Pete blocked his ears this night, he didn't sleep much, the reason is very simple, it was not only the artillery who did not sleep, but the people of the entire Gori area did not sleep this night, except for the sound of artillery, the sound of the motors of tanks and armored vehicles, and the sound of Georgians talking loudly was not interrupted from beginning to end.

When it was finally four o'clock, Donovan knocked on the door of their room. Pete quickly put on his gear and followed Donovan to the restaurant first. Here Eric was already sitting there, he had obviously not slept all night, and the dark circles under his eyes were even more obvious. And Steve was talking to a hotel staff member about something, presumably telling them that they could prepare breakfast.

Eric, when he saw Donovan with the people, said, "The hotel will prepare something for us to eat in a moment." After that, we will head north to Tskhinvali. ”

"All the best?" Donovan asked.

"Smooth. The 1st Georgian Brigade, which attacked Tskhinvali, had broken through into the hinterland of South Ossetia. Soon the attack on Tskhinvali will be plunged. Saying that, Eric chuckled and said, "Actually, there is no too much difficulty there, and the shelling of this night should have exhausted those Ossetians." ”

Donovan didn't say anything about it, he turned around and told everyone to go to the car at once, and checked everything they needed, including dry food and drinking water in addition to weapons and ammunition. When the preparations were made, the breakfast prepared by the hotel also arrived, and everyone set off immediately after quickly resolving the breakfast, and just as they left the hotel, a team of Georgian soldiers arrived here, leading the minibus of Eric and the man-eating shark team all the way out of Gori to the north.

After entering South Ossetia, Pete finally saw some traces of the war. Some places are burning, blown up or damaged vehicles are overturned on the side of the road, and some are still burning. There are still military vehicles heading north on the road, and the cars are not driving fast, because the sky is not yet bright, there are many cars, and some roadside tanks have broken down to occupy some roads. On some sections, the road surface is also damaged, which makes it even more difficult to pass. And in the sky it was no less quiet, except for the occasional shells flying in the direction of Tskhinvali, and from time to time the sound of planes passing overhead.

At about five o'clock in the morning, the convoy finally approached Tskhinvali and stopped next to a temporary camp of the Georgian army. After getting out of the car, the first thing Pete saw was several billowing smoke in the city of Tskhinvali. And at this moment, judging from the sound of gunfire, the exchange of fire is very intense, and there are violent explosions from time to time.

Immediately after getting out of the car, Eric and Steve followed a Georgian soldier into a command car, and it took about half an hour for Eric and Steve to walk out. Pete noticed that Eric's expression seemed to be a little solemn this time, and after walking up to the man-eating shark team, Eric spoke, "We're ready to leave for the city." ”

"Into the city?" Donovan glanced at Eric and said, "There's fighting there, is it appropriate to go in now?" ”

Eric shook his head and said, "No problem. The Ossetians will not be a threat at all. It's just their last struggle. With that, he took their satellite phone and walked to the side and started calling.

Pete turned to Steve and said, "Eric doesn't seem to have a good face. ”

"Yes. Just now the Georgians told us that someone had attacked the Russian peacekeepers here. The Russians counterattacked, and there was also a fierce exchange of fire. ”

"Really? Attack the Russians? Pete asked, incredulous.

Steve pouted and said, "I don't know if it's true or not." The Russians in the city of Tskhinvali not only hindered their movement and provided the Ossetians with a large number of weapons, but some of the Russians disguised themselves as Ossetian militia and knocked out several Georgian armored vehicles in the city. ”

"And then you did it?" Pete asked.

"Yes." Steve nodded, "It's said that there are casualties on both sides. Now the Russians here are besieged. The two sides are exchanging fire. ”

Steve's words made the people of the Man-Eating Shark Team look at each other without speaking, and Pete felt a little bit of conspiracy in his words.
