Chapter 1842 Can't Be Contacted
Now, directly in front of Susan and on the left and right flanks, there was about a platoon of troops, frantically blocking them.
Want to "withdraw"? Then you can only retreat back and return the same way back to the cave base?
Susan said coldly, "Since this is an obvious premeditation, the other party definitely wants to swallow us in one fell swoop." However, with a hundred troops on our side, they only sent a hundred troops, why? ”
"Because they're too late! If they had time, they would have sent a thousand, or even two thousand! ”
"That means more forces are definitely catching up in this direction - all in our rear! If we turn around and go back here, let's wait to meet the other party's large army. Then these forces in front of us stabbed us in the back again, and we were really finished. ”
The analysis was accurate and reasonable, and made a bunch of officers nod their heads in agreement. Dostum also felt that in fact, his command at a critical time might not be as good as this little girl.
Dostum nodded and said, "Then, we can only fight hard now." ”
"The brave wins!" Susan said coldly, stretched out her finger and pointed to the left, "On the left, the terrain in this area is relatively flat, and the advantage occupied by the other party is not very large. Let's concentrate our superior forces, we must break through within twenty minutes, and force a breakthrough! ”
"After breaking out of this encirclement, there is a high ground not far away. Moreover, there are some natural bunkers such as caves inside. ”
"When we get there, we can hold on and wait for help."
Several officers were stunned: "Hold on and wait for help?" Who will help? ”
Susan shook her head helplessly: "I contacted Brother Najib just now, but the communication equipment was turned off, and I couldn't get in touch." However, I hope that when Brother Najib hears the gunshots, he will lead those 500 soldiers to rush to our rescue. This is the last hope, and there is no other way. ”
"Because if we don't stick to the backup after breaking out, but choose to run all the way, Sharif has enough means to block our way. We don't have helicopters, and the speed of movement is much inferior to Sharif's troop transfers. ”
"All we can rely on now is the dense caves here to fight a whirling battle with each other."
Susan's analysis is still correct, but her assumptions are wrong! The premise she made was that Najib did not defect!
If Najib hadn't mutinied, and had led 500 men to attack when he heard the gunfire, he would definitely have been able to tear a hole in the encirclement of Sharif's army, welcome Susan and the others to leave the high ground together, and then hide in the mountains to continue the sports war.
But Najib won't come back to save them. Her plan was perfect, but the fatal flaw was enough to plunge her into an even greater tragedy.
However, there is nothing left to do as Susan asks.
So, the warriors on Susan's side launched a forced assault to the left!
Dostum roared angrily, and this man, who was close to old age, actually held a gun and rushed to the front first, leading the way. Najib also laughed at Dustum for being a coward at first, but in fact, who is a coward?
The first charge was repulsed by the opponent, with heavy casualties. Nearly twenty more brothers were killed on Susan's side, and five more wounded.
However, the casualties of the Sharif army on the left were also significant, with the same dead a dozen people! The defensive line, which was originally composed of about 30 people, is now in danger.
Therefore, in the second charge, Susan and the others broke through this line of life and death in one fell swoop. The other thirty people were almost completely wiped out, and Susan and the others were less than sixty left!
In such a short period of time, more than forty fighters are gone!
Imagine if Najib had asked for only thirty fighters to Dostum...... Hehe...... It is estimated that she is dead now, and even Susan will not survive. Fortunately, with Dostum's insistence and bringing so many more soldiers, they were able to ensure a certain amount of strength.
Now, the team of less than sixty people ran for their lives, and ran directly to a high ground opposite. The high ground was two hundred meters above the surrounding ground. And at a height of less than 100 meters in the middle, there is also a natural cave.
Susan led the group into the cave, and after urgently deploying defenses, she carefully surveyed the terrain. Then he simply summoned Dostum and other officers and said: "Two news, one good and one bad." ”
"The good news is that the terrain is better than we thought. There is a large cliff behind it, and if the opponent wants to rush up, he can only do so from the front, but he will encounter strong resistance from us. In addition, the other side sent a few dozen people at a time at most, because the terrain did not allow them to forcibly climb the mountain on a large scale. ”
"According to our ammunition calculations, if we use it carefully, we will have no problem supporting it for most of the day. Moreover, the cave is strong enough, even if Sharif sends a helicopter gunship, it will not destroy the cave lightly, but will easily be shot down by our plane. ”
Good news indeed, indeed! In this way, they will have no problem holding it up until dawn. And most of the day is enough time for Najib to rush to help.
But at this time, Susan said with a gloomy face: "As for the bad news - Najib has not been contacted yet. ”
Everyone suddenly cooled down from the excitement and was cold.
And everyone noticed that Susan used to call that guy "Brother Najib" because Najib was her father's adopted son. However, this is the first time she has called "Najib".
At first, it was not certain that Najib had defected. After all, dozens of middle- and low-level officers were present at the time, and it was possible that someone leaked the news.
However, now the state of affairs is becoming clearer!
Because, even if you Najib didn't know it before, but now after this quiet night, such a dense burst of gunfire broke out, and the gunfire broke out in the direction of Susan's escape...... Even if you are a fool, Najib should have guessed that Susan was attacked by the enemy, right?
So in this case, can you continue to turn off all communication equipment? Even if Susan and Dostum don't ask you for help, you have to reach out to Susan and ask about the situation, right?
However, I still can't get in touch!
Dostum sneered: "If a mid- and low-ranking officer betrays us, at least he can't order Najib to turn off all the communication equipment." Only Najib himself could have made this decision. So, if Najib doesn't show up before dawn, hehe, it means that he betrayed us! ”
Suddenly, a group of people were furious, but at the same time, their hearts were as cold as ice - everyone was here to wait for help, waiting for Najib's reinforcements! If the reinforcements all defect, then everyone ...... Even if it supports most of the day, even if it supports ten days and a half months, what about it? In the end, it's still a death?
