"Maybe I'm really old." John couldn't help but think this in his heart, and at the same time, he tried to calm himself. Either way, it all has to go on. At least he can be regarded as having completed the task, at least he did not let his old rival the Russians succeed.

Fortunately, after about six or seven minutes, Pete and three other people approached the other side of the river safely. He slowly leaned towards where Kane was.

Seeing this, John immediately looked into the woods on the west bank, and it was a critical moment. He was most afraid of the sudden sound of gunshots at this moment. But there was no movement in the woods, and everything was quiet, as if no one was there.

"All in place. Everyone's eyes widened. John instructed the others.

And as John spoke, Pete slowly half-traveled to the back of the bush where Kane and the others were. After making sure there was no movement, Pete gestured to the others, and then slowly leaned towards the shore.

"Kane. Those who have answered you have reached the shore behind you. They have reached the shore. John watched as he made contact with Kane.

"I've seen them." Kane replied and slowly crawled to the shore and beckoned to Pete, who was in charge.

Pete saw Kane immediately speed up and leaned over, and after coming into the bushes, he quickly looked around, and could see that there were five people in total. And whispered, "How are you doing?" ”

Kane looked at Pete and said, "All five of us are injured, but only two are seriously injured. He said, pointing to a tree that had been placed near the river, not far from him, and the two men who were lying on it continued, "It's the two of them, and they have been hit by shards in their legs and bodies. The others are not a big problem, and if they retreat, they can go by themselves. ”

Pete looked at the two men and said, "We've got four of us, we can take them with us." With that, he looked away at the other two and said, "Are the rest of you sure you can go?" Can you shoot with a gun? ”

"I... I probably can't. Kane said, glancing at his right arm and shoulder, "This arm can't move at all. It may be broken. The two of them should be fine. He said, turning his head to look at the two men who were still on guard.

When Pete heard him say this, he immediately nodded and immediately reported to him on the radio with John, "Sir, I'm Pete." We've reached the other side. There are two people here who can't move around on their own, and I'm going to use the same way I took Toby across the river, which is to carry it across the river. ”

"Understood." When John heard Pete's suggestion, he immediately agreed, but instead of letting them do it immediately, he said, "You let them go into the water first." Get out of there first. Then wait for my orders, and I'll let you go when you go. ”

"Understood." Pete looked at Kane and said, "Let's take the wounded into the water first." You also come down before me. ”

"Okay. . . No problem. Kane said yes and began to move with some difficulty, and with Pete's help he left the bushes and went down the river.

"Stand firm." Pete slowly climbed ashore after stabilizing Kane. After checking on the condition of the two wounded, he slowly moved them to the shore.

And here on the shore, the three men who had come with Pete quickly followed, and with mutual cooperation, carried the two wounded on their shoulders, and one of them supported the somewhat weak Kane, who did not move after getting ready but waited for John's signal.

Pete saw that the people who had entered the water were ready, and came to the two who were still on guard, reached out and patted each of them lightly on the shoulder, and then said in their ears in a very low voice: "You guys withdraw first, I'll keep an eye on it." ”

The two men both glanced at Pete when they heard Pete's words, and after each nodded, one of them whispered, "They seem to have retreated." With that, he quickly retreated to the shore. Pete, on the other hand, took their place and began to be on the alert.

He first looked into the woods. There really wasn't anything to be seen in the woods at the moment. If you listen carefully to the movement on the other side, you can't hear anything special at all. So, after looking back and forth, and looking back at the people who were all ready, he contacted John and said, "Sir, I'm Pete." Everyone is ready. There was also no movement on the shore. ”

"Good. Wait a minute. John agreed, looked to the left and right, and after everyone had confirmed that nothing had been noticed, he continued, "Begin to retreat." Return the way you were. ”

Receiving instructions to begin retreating, Pete immediately turned around and gestured to the others who were watching him and whispered, "Action." ”

The men immediately moved when they saw the gesture. The man carrying the wounded was in front, the man supporting Kane was behind, and the other two people who could move on their own helped to support the wounded who were being carried. A group of people slowly followed the route they had come from.

Pete didn't immediately follow, he stayed behind to keep an eye on the woods for safety. After all, the atmosphere at the moment is a little too weird, and the other party inexplicably stopped all attacks to make him feel very strange, does he know that the person to be arrested has left and completely given up? Is this possible?

Pete obviously found it difficult to accept such a reason, because in his opinion, if he was in command, even if he escaped the target, then the group that stayed behind would not be spared. Otherwise, how can you explain to the people who fought all night? So why on earth did they stop moving?

Just as Pete stared ahead in confusion. Here on the east bank, Howard, who was on the south side, suddenly spotted movement in the woods opposite.

He saw several figures in the woods on the opposite side crawling up from the ground. Although he didn't know what they were going to do, he immediately wanted John to report, "This is Howard, and there are people moving, people moving, in the woods at my two o'clock. ”

Hearing Howard's report, John immediately said, "Don't shoot casually, see their numbers and intentions." Don't shoot casually. After speaking, he contacted Pete and said, "Pete, pay attention to your left side, someone is moving." Watch out for the woods on your left! After saying that, he immediately looked at the people who were crossing the river, and then contacted: "Kane, stop. Stop and don't move. After Kane responded and did stop, John immediately looked at the others and said, "Get it all ready for me." All ready! ”

Pete, who heard the alarm, immediately turned to his left. But at the moment, I didn't see any target from where I was. However, he was not in a hurry, he just watched quietly, because he knew that if the other party really wanted to make a move, he would not stay still, as long as they moved, he would have a chance to see them, and more importantly, they would not only let the people on one side move, and in the place near the south, he knew that although the other party had invested manpower to outflank, there were not too many people.
