But thinking of this, Pete felt that something was wrong. Because if so, what is the purpose of asking Georgia to challenge an enemy that they simply can't defeat? Is it just trying to make some trouble for the Russians? Aren't you afraid of losing this dogleg under the blows of the Russians and at the same time giving up South Ossetia to the Russians? The answer is obviously not, the Yankees absolutely need here, they need to be here to stop the Russians from crossing the Caucasus and continuing to stretch their paws south, you know, beyond this is the Middle East, the east coast of the Mediterranean. It's impossible for Americans to make trouble for themselves. Now, the Yankees must have a deeper intention to support the Georgians in attacking South Ossetia without directly sending troops to support it. I don't know exactly what it is, but there certainly is.

Just as Pete was thinking about these questions, a dark shadow suddenly flashed from the middle of the three roads ahead. Donovan was the first to see the shadow, who gently touched Pete and gestured in the direction of the shadow as he turned his head.

Pete immediately looked at the shadow and turned his gun in the direction of the middle road, while Donovan reached out again and patted Eric behind him before turning back to him and making a silent gesture. Eric saw Donovan and Pete's movements and immediately realized that something was going on, and he immediately pulled down Ensign Loria, who was still looking to the east, and motioned to the other Georgians beside him to stay out and take cover.

A moment later, there was only one shadow on the middle road, and then two, then four. They walked slowly along the side of the road under their feet towards the fork in the road, stopped about ten meters from the junction, and walked towards the intersection of the road to the south, where Donovan and Pete had scouted, after observing to make sure there was no situation, and soon disappeared from sight.

These dark shadows are obviously Ossetian forces hiding here, and no one will operate here except them. And the sight of these people also shows that the activities of the Ossetians in this area are very ordinary, and they start to wander around here after dawn. In other words, the actions of the Maneating Shark Squad in the future are likely to be detected or even bumped into by these Ossetians.

Donovan stared at the intersection for about three minutes, and only after making sure that no one showed up again did he take out his water bottle and slowly open it to fill himself with saliva. Pete, on the other hand, slowly crawled up to Donovan's side and whispered, "They're the way we're going." What to do? ”

"I can't care so much. We don't have time to look around anymore. Donovan said, glancing at the time, "Our people should be almost there." When everyone arrived, we went the way we had been. ”

"I'm worried about the purpose of their activities here? Is it for reconnaissance for a large army? Pete said.

Donovan glanced at Pete and said, "I think it's more likely to be a patrol." It's normal to patrol the border with the enemy. You've done a lot of this in your service. ”

"Okay." Pete saw Donovan say this, although he still felt that there was something wrong, but he didn't say anything, and slowly retreated to his original position and waited quietly.

After about another twenty minutes, there was movement from the way from which they came, in the direction of Tskhinvali, and the two men sent by Ensign Loria to deliver letters to the others ran back.

The two men quickly came to their hiding place after seeing Loria waving at them, and one of them immediately reported the situation to Loria after they also lay down. Loria listened as she said to Eric, "The others will be there soon." The Russians were bombing, several bombs fell on Ossetia Square, and the entrances and exits of the underground parking lot were blown up, but fortunately they left early, otherwise it would have been all over. ”

Eric nodded and didn't speak, but Donovan turned to Pete and said, "You go pick up the others." Let them all come from the woods by the side of the road. Let them all stop talking, be silent, and be ready to fight at any time. ”

Pete immediately replied and retreated a few meters into the woods behind him, and only after fully retreating into the woods did he get up and run quickly the way he came. After running out of sight of the fork in the road, he ran back to the side of the road, and after about 300 meters, he saw Evans, Maurice and Ochoa walking along the side of the road.

In order to avoid accidental injury, Pete slowed down and raised his hand and waved at Evans, and after letting them see himself, Pete picked up his pace again and came to Evans's side.

"Sir, let me come first." Pete gasped as he pointed in the direction of the western fork, "The Ossetians were just spotted there, so the chief wants you to walk through the woods, and stay silent and be ready to fight at any time." ”

Evans sighed slightly when he heard Pete say this, "It seems that we still have to fight." As he spoke, he waved his hand to a few people around him and said, "Quick, let them all enter the woods." ”

It wasn't easy to walk in the woods, but fortunately the sky was already bright, and the distance wasn't long, so it didn't take long for Donovan and the others to converge.

After a quick examination of the wounded and a brief description of the situation ahead with Evans, Donovan hurried out with everyone along the southernmost of the three roads. But before they had gone far, before the Georgian team had fully passed the fork, a burst of gunfire rang out from the junction of the middle of the three roads.

The bullets entered the woods, and the two Georgians walking on the outside of the line were shot unsuspectingly and fell down. After the two men were shot, the whole Georgian team was in chaos, and they ran out into the woods, and in the panic, many people fell to the ground with garlic under their feet, and no one fought back for a while. Steve and Matt, who were being carried on stretchers, were thrown into the woods.

"Watch for secrecy!" When Donovan heard the gunshot, he immediately stopped and pulled Eric behind him. He first looked at Ensign Loria, "Ensign, let your men fight back!" Report the other party's location. After listening to the other party's gunshots, he said: "There are not many people on the other side!" Shoot back, spread out and shoot back! ”

Second Lieutenant Loria was also a little flustered at the moment, he heard Donovan's instructions and bent over and waved at the Georgian soldiers who were busy dodging and shouted loudly, obviously these Georgians were just like Pete estimated, they had no combat experience at all.
