Chapter XVIII

John heard Eric's voice and immediately said, "Eric, why are you still in Tskhinvali?" You need to get out of there now! ”

"Okay, okay." Eric agreed, but kept walking, and soon followed the Georgians into the house down the street. "Listen to me John, I'll just take a moment, half an hour, no! Fifteen minutes is enough. I'm doing my last duty, and I'm going to get out of here no matter what the outcome is, okay? Trust me. ”

John on the other side of the phone let out a long sigh and said, "Okay. Fifteen minutes. You'll have to get out of there immediately after fifteen minutes. Believe me, Eric, as far as I have received from Gori, that the Russians will attack more violently than you or you expect. ”

"I know that. That's John, keep in touch. With that, Eric threw the phone to Donovan, and he himself walked briskly over to the Georgian officers. But just as he was about to approach, the guards who stood nearby stopped him.

Eric's temper was obviously very bad at the moment, he pushed the guards away and shouted, "Mr. Brigade Commander, I have to talk to you again, I have to talk again!" ”

The guard was also in a bad mood at the moment, and after being pushed away, he quickly picked up his gun and made an aiming stance. Pete, who had been following Eric Eric, stepped forward, quickly stretched out his left hand and pressed it on the guard's rifle, pressing the gun sideways on the man's chest, and at the same time taking out an M9 pistol with his right hand, aiming it at the man's head, and said loudly: "Don't move!" Don't move! ”

The movement here suddenly attracted the attention of everyone present, and the atmosphere that had already become tense because of the counterattack begun by the Russians suddenly reached the point of saber rattling, and all the armed people present raised their guns and pointed at each other, as if Pete and they were the enemies of Georgia at this moment.

"Wow. Wow... This situation calmed down Eric, and it was clear that it would not only help him achieve what he was trying to achieve, but would make it harder for him to communicate with him.

"All calm, all calm." Eric raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions and turned to look at Donois and said, "Mr. Donovan, please let your people put down their guns." Put the gun down. Then he said to Steve, "Tell them we're not damn enemies." I just want to talk to the brigade commander and that's it. Say it. After speaking, he said to Donovan: "Put down the gun and calm down." This is not an enemy, please put down your gun. ”

Donovan looked at Eric and said, "Put down the gun, put down the gun." ”

At the same time that Eric was talking to Donovan, Steve was also talking loudly to the Georgians, and the other party obviously knew that the group of Yankees in front of him was on their side, which could be seen from their eyes, although they were holding guns at the moment, their hearts were not firm at all, and their eyes were full of doubts and hesitation. So after seeing Donovan and the others drop their guns, a Georgian officer standing in the rear raised his hand and said a word, and then all the Georgian soldiers present laid down their weapons.

"I just want to talk. Again, it should be precise, trying to convince you. Eric looked at a Georgian officer standing not far away.

As Eric spoke, Pete let go of his left hand, put away the pistol, and returned to its original position. The Georgian officer hesitated when he heard Steve's translation, but after a moment beckoned to Eric to come over.

When Eric saw this, he immediately looked at Donovan and said, "You guys wait for me here." Just a little bit. After saying that, he took Steve to the officer's side and said directly: "I want to say, now the Russians are here." They must have gone straight to Tskhinvali, and at this moment they should concentrate their efforts as soon as possible to take down the so-called Russian peacekeeping force here, and mobilize the rear reserves to seize the important towns and heights in the north. We had to try to fight north of Tskhinvali, not directly inside the city, the Russians wouldn't be the first to come too many, we had to find a way to defeat them, and then start a defensive battle in the mountains around the city. ”

Steve, who was standing next to Eric, began translating as soon as Eric had said something, but the officer interrupted him before he could finish Steve's translation and said something, and Steve immediately said to Eric, "He said they had arranged it and everything was going according to plan." The attack of the Russians was expected, and they had a way to deal with it. He suggested that we should contact our own people earlier and speed up diplomatic or military involvement. ”

Eric heard Steve's translation and wanted to say something more, but before he could say anything, the roar of the plane's engine could be heard in the sky again, and soon after, a series of explosions followed.

"Air strike!" Donovan yelled and grabbed Eric, and Pete quickly grabbed Steve. They felt the explosion getting closer and closer to them. When I felt the plane as if my head was on top of my head, I only heard "Boom!" There was a loud bang, and a house across the road was suddenly blown open. The figures of several Georgians running on the side of the road were quickly overwhelmed by the explosion, and the shock wave caused many people around to fall to the ground, and the debris that was blown away flew like huge shrapnel.

Luckily, the Man-Eating Shark team didn't run out of the building they were in, so they didn't suffer any real damage, but everyone lay on the ground and had nowhere to go for a while.

Pete was lying on the ground while paying attention to the movement in the sky, only to feel that the plane in the sky did not fly far after a quick pass, but went around to the east, which felt like coming back after a circle. "Sir, they seem to be going back and forth and back and forth with repeated air raids!"

"Where are the air defense facilities here?" Donovan was naturally aware of the other party's intentions, and he shouted as he pulled Eric up, while Pete dragged Steve, who was curled up on the ground, and leaned towards Donovan.

"Follow them!" Eric shouted as he looked at the Georgian running towards the back of the house.

Donovan didn't hesitate to pull Eric and run backwards, and at this moment, the sound of the plane's engine was coming from far and near, and the explosion was heard again, but when it felt like it was about to fly above Pete's head, there was a sudden burst of cannon fire.

The thick bullets of the 30mm cannon easily pierced the exterior wall of the building, striking diagonally from top to bottom, and a few of them hit the Georgians who were running. The person who was hit exploded with a burst of blood mist, as if it had exploded from the inside out like a balloon that had been burst.

This kind of attack caused the people of the man-eating shark team to stop moving forward in an instant, and instinctively dodged one after another. Although these dodges were actually useless, but fortunately, the cannon attack did not last, this time after the plane passed overhead, it flew directly north, although there were still gunshots around, but it still made people feel quiet.
