Chapter 34: The Round-up

After seeing Second Lieutenant Loria go to stabilize the Georgians, Donovan looked behind him and said, "Old man, Jeff be on guard and watch the direction we are heading. The others and I went to get Matt and Steve back. ”

Pete looked behind him, and saw that Matt had climbed behind a tree and was hiding there. Steve, on the other hand, was more miserable, just curled up beside the stretcher, not daring to move.

"Don't move. Just stay where you are! While Donovan was shouting, the Georgians, who had been held steady by Lieutenant Loria, finally began to return fire, and they first thought of the M240, and after the machine gun was set up, there was a fierce fire, and under the attack of the machine gun, the intersection was silent.

Pete saw that the other party did not continue to shoot or continue to shoot, but said towards Donovan: "Sir, there are not many of them. We can counterattack and knock them out and bring Matt and Steve back. ”

Donovan thought the same way at the moment, they couldn't waste time here and there, and getting out of here as soon as possible was what they had to do at this moment. So he immediately shouted to Loria: "Second Lieutenant Loria! Keep your people moving forward! Move forward! ”

Lieutenant Loria heard Donovan's shout and immediately shouted at his men, but from their appearance, they all seemed hesitant and timid, and did not want to get up from the ground and attack. And at this moment, Evans, who had been on the alert, suddenly pulled the trigger.

"Attention! Ten o'clock direction! Ten o'clock direction! Evans shouted as he continued to pull the trigger, and after he had started firing a few shots, the same shots rang out at ten o'clock, and the fire was clearly above Evans and Jeff. Jeff, who was next to Evans, shouted after two shots, "There are about four or five people on the other side, and we need support." ”

Donovan looked at Maurice and Pete beside him and said, "Master, pirate, you two will be responsible for bringing Steve and Matt down in a moment." After speaking, he looked at Loria, who was still urging his subordinates to launch a counterattack, and said, "Second Lieutenant Loria! Continue along the road with yours and attack in a southwesterly direction! Hurry up, hurry up! We've got you covered! ”

Ensign Loria was visibly relieved to hear Donovan let them continue southwest, and he immediately shouted to his men, this time his men were obviously more obedient, and they got up from the ground and prepared to move southwest.

Seeing that they were finally moving, Donovan immediately looked at Pete and Morris and said, "Cover shooting!" Fast! After saying that, he turned to Ochoa and said, "Chili is going to help the hippopotamus." Hurry up, hurry up! ”

The people at the intersection started shooting again after seeing the Georgians move again. However, this time, under the cover fire of Pitt and Morris, the accuracy was significantly less accurate than the first few shots, and the shooting was also intermittent and incoherent.

"Second Lieutenant Loria! Let your people attack and move forward! Attack Forward! Donovan shouted as he led Eric and Avery behind the Georgians. On Evans' side, the other side fired bullets at the Georgians after seeing them coming towards them. Two more Georgians were hit and fell, which caused the group of Georgians to dodge again, and at this moment, Ensign Loria shouted and pulled the trigger on the other side, and finally let the young Georgians start a real return fire under his leadership. They began to shoot at each other, and although the whole process seemed chaotic, without any rhythm and not very accurate, they quickly suppressed the enemy at ten o'clock.

Seeing this, Donovan immediately said to Ellie: "Keep up with Eric, pay attention to protect him!" After saying that, he quickly turned around and came to Pete's side. Pete saw Donovan coming and immediately said, "Sir, I'm going to go over and get Matt back with Moss first." ”

"Understood! I'll cover you. Donovan fired a few quick shots before switching to a magazine, took aim at the opponent after observing where the opponent was shooting, and shouted "Cover fire!" "After that, he pulled the trigger continuously towards the intersection where the shooting was being taken.

Donovan's two short points in a row seemed to hit the opponent, making the opponent's already unsustainable shot weaken again. Pitt and Morris, on the other hand, seized the opportunity, shooting at each other in succession from left to right, and quickly leaning towards Matt.

There are still two people here at the intersection at the other party, and these two people also saw Pete and Morris who were moving in the woods, but because the other party continued to fire at this place, they couldn't do anything, so they had to watch Pete and Morris come behind a tree and set up one and quickly retreat under cover.

"Did you hear that?" One of the two men lay on the ground and said to the other beside him, "Did you hear that?" They spoke as if in English. ”

"I hear you!" The other nodded, "They were clearly not speaking Georgian. ”

"Inform the others! Hurry, this is the person we are looking for! The man shouted as he continued to shoot.

The other man immediately crawled up to one of his companions, who had no longer killed, and after picking up the walkie-talkie on the man's body, he began to report to the other companions where he was and what he had discovered.

Two minutes later, Ashraf, who was searching in the mountains southwest of Tskhinvali, received the message. He immediately stopped searching and looked at the map as he unfolded it, "Area Three." They were passing through the area for which Chinnikov was responsible. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at one of the people beside him: "Contact the raccoon immediately, given that the other party has a large number of people, let them delay the other party as much as possible." In addition, the others were ordered to keep in touch with the raccoons and quickly move closer to them. And told the raccoons that we were going north and stopped in the way of the gang. ”

While the Russians are rounding up the Maneating Shark Squad, Pete and Morris drag Steve down on a stretcher. After making sure that neither Matt nor Steve had been injured again from the attack, Donovan called Lieutenant Loria over.

"Ensign!" Donovan said as he pointed to the southwest, "We're going to get out of here alternately." Head straight south. ”

Loria glanced at the other party, who had been completely suppressed, and said, "We have already repelled them, don't we follow the previous route?" ”

"No!" Donovan immediately vetoed: "Who knows how many of them are here, this is just patrolling people." I think maybe more of them will be here soon. ”

"Okay." Second Lieutenant Loria obviously didn't have much experience in dealing with such situations, so he didn't have any questions about what Donovan said, and his original mission was to escort them out of South Ossetia. So he agreed, and then continued, "So what are we going to do?" ”
