Hearing John's shout, a man quickly ran over and crouched down beside John. John pointed to the map and said, "I'll give you a mission." Do you remember the hillside where we fought with the Russians just now? ”

"Of course! It was a north-south slope, and there should have been a ridge above it. When we attacked the Russians, they were probably trying to go up the ridge. Colin answered.

"That's right!" John nodded in satisfaction, "I think our people are on the other side of the hill right now. And the Russians have not yet found them. So I ask you to take your men and go around this hillside and find a way to reach the west side of the hillside. See what I mean? ”

"Understood!" Colin nodded immediately, but then he asked, "What if we can't find it?" ”

"Can't find it?" John smiled helplessly, "If we can't find it, then we only have two choices, first, we hope that our people can get out of danger by themselves, but this is unlikely." The second is that we take control of this place from the Russians, or take people back from them. But this comes at a considerable cost. After saying that, he looked at Colin and put away his smile and said, "So you must try your best to find it, even if the road is very difficult." Do you understand? ”

Of course, Colin already understood what Donovan meant, which meant that if they couldn't find it, everyone would have to continue fighting, and it would be a very fierce firefight. This was clearly not what he or anyone else in the room wanted to see. So he immediately set off with his group after answering.

Watching Colin leave with the people, John didn't make any other arrangements. He didn't send more people in the direction of the firefight, because there were very few people in his hands at the moment, and he didn't want to fight the other party, at least not now. Therefore, there is no need to continue to intensify the attack, and it is enough to hold back the Russians in such a stalemate.

While John and Ashraf are battling their wits around, Eric, their common goal, is being carried down a hill by Pete into another wood. After entering the woods, he put Eric down, because carrying a completely unconscious person was very tiring, and for Pete, who had been busy for half a day, he needed to rest, at least sit down and drink saliva to catch his breath. On the other hand, there was another gunshot from the direction of the cliff behind him, although the gunshots were getting farther and farther away from him than before, but at this moment, there were gunshots again, which made Pete a little curious. So he wanted to stop and listen carefully to the gunshot.

And just as Pete was stopping, Chinnikov had already received an order from Ashraf to stop the search and retreat. This time, however, he didn't want to carry out the order, at least not immediately. Because now he had come to the bottom of the cliff, and came to the place where Pete and Eric had rolled off the cliff. Judging by the traces here, it is clear that their target is not only not dead, but has also left here. It's just that one of them may have lost his ability to move, because judging from the footprints left here, there was only one person, and judging from the blood stains on the grass that had been pressed on the grass, the other person should have been dragged away.

Although it was towed away, it should also be alive. Otherwise, there would be no need to drag a corpse around in such a situation. And judging from the behavior of this dragging, the physical condition of this person who can walk is not very good, he should be very tired, or because of the injuries on his body, he does not have enough strength to leave with his companion in this way. In short, whatever happens, everything here indicates that there is a great deal of hope that they will soon catch up with them.

So Chinnikov continued to search for traces on the road and reported the situation to Ashraf, and asked to give him some more time.

Ashraf was at first annoyed that Chinnikov did not immediately carry out his orders, but after hearing Chinnikov's reasons in full, Ashraf agreed to his request. After all, this was their task, and judging by what Chennikov had said, there was no reason why he would not agree.

After receiving Ashraf's consent, Chinnikov breathed a long sigh of relief. He immediately picked up his speed and chased forward. And Ashraf was not idle, and after agreeing to Chinnikov's request, he immediately changed his tactics. He led everyone to this side of the hill, because he thought that the Yankees must be planning something too, maybe to attack this place, or maybe they were waiting for something. But in any case, he had to make sure that if something went wrong, Chinnikov and they would be able to return smoothly. Controlling the area below the cliff is undoubtedly the best way to protect this.

On the other side, just as Chinnikov continued the pursuit. Colin, who was sent by John, quietly bypassed the Russians' gaze and quickly came to the south side of the hill that was now controlled by the Russians. After walking along the mountain for a while, they found a crack between the mountains. Colin looked at the crack that only allowed the next entry and exit for a while before deciding to enter the place with the people, and after entering the place, he cautiously walked out along the crack to the north.

At the same time, Pete, after listening carefully to the sound of gunfire, decided to go to the place where the gunfire was coming from. Because from the direction, it is southwest, and it is farther away from the place where the previous gunfire was exchanged before the sound of gunfire disappeared. This means that the people who came to pick up their team did not leave, but stopped where the gunfire was coming now. Of course, they stopped, perhaps because the Russians did not want to let them go, and soon caught up and fought again. But Pete thought about it and realized that it was not very likely. Because the Russians shouldn't have chased them like this, if they had joined up with their own people with Eric, then the Russians might have seized the last chance to try again. But where they and Eric were, the Russians knew better than anyone else, and they didn't have to chase after the people who came to help. And judging from such a non-violent gunshot, the desire to fight on both sides is not strong, everyone is very restrained, it should just be a stalemate with each other, no one takes the initiative to attack, just shoot at each other on their own side.

If this is the case, it is obvious that his people know that they and Eric have not fallen into the hands of the Russians and are still alive, and they are still trying to find themselves and Eric. And the Russians will not be able to and have the interest to drive them away for a while. Both of them should be looking for it, and it's up to them to see who gets it first. So Pete decided to go where the gunshots were coming from, and although there was a risk, it was worth the risk.
