Chapter 19: Evacuation on foot

Pete quickly got up from the ground and looked at Steve beside him, Steve's face was pale, he was frightened, and after barely getting up from the ground, he seemed to be speechless for a while, just nodded quickly to Pete to indicate that he was okay, and then leaned against the wall and vomited.

"We need to get out of here!" Evans exclaimed, "This must be the appetizer, and the main meal hasn't come up yet." ”

Donovan looked at Eric beside him and said, "Can you get out of here now?" ”

Eric didn't say anything more, and he stood up with some difficulty against the wall. After glancing at the Georgian soldier who was hit not far away, he turned around and walked directly towards the outside of the house.

Donovan immediately glanced at the others, and when he saw that everyone was okay, he waved at everyone and said, "Let's get out of here." ”

But when he walked out of the house and saw Eric standing on the side of the road looking ahead, Pete quickly followed his gaze and saw that their minibus was unrecognizable, although it was not burned or blown up, but it was riddled with bullet holes, the roof was also crushed by a large piece of debris of the building, and the right front wheel was missing.

"Damn the Russians." Morris looked at the minibus and scolded, then looked at Donovan and said, "What should we do?" ”

"Take out the stuff in the car first. Ammunition, drinking water. Fast! After saying that, after seeing Pete running over quickly, he came to Eric's side and said, "It looks like we're going to walk away?" Or borrow a car with the Georgians? ”

"Let's go, then." Eric looked disappointed, he looked up at the sky that was already covered in smoke at the moment, and said, "The Russian air raid will definitely come soon." Driving a Georgian military vehicle is simply looking for bombing. If you can, go on foot. But for now, the south of the city should be the main target of their air raids, and we may have to risk passing through there. ”

"That's better than staying here all the time." Donovan said and looked at the sky as well, "I hope the Georgian Air Force you just said can buy us a little more time." ”

After a while, Pete, Morris and the others took some of the ammunition and drinking water out of Barry. Donovan saw Pete and the others coming, then turned to Evans and said, "Contact John and tell them that we are on our way to evacuate Tskhinvali, but the vehicle is damaged, and it may take more time to get out of town." ”

So, after Evans finished communicating, the Man-Eating Shark Squad took Eric and Steve on foot to the south of the city. About ten minutes after running out, the roar of the plane's engine was heard in the sky again, but this time when the plane appeared, the Georgians around it cheered instead of dodging. Pete quickly looked up at the sky, only to see several planes of the same model as the Russians quickly skimming through the sky and heading north.

"The air force of the Georgians began to fight back." Pete said as he withdrew his gaze.

"Then hurry up." Eric quickened his pace as he spoke, "They won't be a match for the Russians, there are too few of them." And the Russians have a lot of means to strike here. ”

Eric's words were quickly verified, and when they arrived in the south of the city, it was a completely different place than when they first entered Tskhinvali. Many of the buildings that were dilapidated but still standing have disappeared, and many places have been completely razed to the ground. The smell in the air is indescribable, and from time to time there are bursts of hot smoke coming in. It was knocked up by the explosion, and the dust and smoke that fell at the moment obscured the sky. The only thing that can be seen is the wreckage of the buildings on the ground, the ruins, the clothing, equipment, and even the mutilated limbs or corpses scattered here and there. In addition, there were many wounded who fell to the ground and were struggling and moaning in pain. Although some people are trying their best to rescue them, it seems that it will not help, because there are many dead and wounded, and these people are simply not busy for a while. And the road under your feet can no longer be called a road. On the road that has been completely abandoned, there are still some bombed armored vehicles and even tanks still burning, and from time to time there will be ammunition explosions, which completely blocks the already terrible road.

The sight slowed down for everyone, and Ellie said as he walked, "It makes me feel like we're on our way to hell." ”

"Don't look at them. Watch the road under your feet. We've got to get through here faster. As long as you leave Tskhinvali, everything will be fine. Donovan stopped and urged loudly.

Pete quickly retracted his gaze when he heard Donovan's words, he really shouldn't be distracted at this moment, because he can't help these people, the only thing he can do is to get out of here as soon as possible. However, after walking about 100 meters, the sound of a motor suddenly came from the front, and Pete followed the sound and saw a tank driving in the direction of the north city. Behind this tank can be seen with other armored vehicles, and there are quite a few infantry on either side.

But at this moment, the roar of the plane's engine was heard in the sky again. This time they flew in from the east, and shortly after the sound of the engine, Georgians shouted.

I don't know what they're shouting, but from the shouts of fear and despair, it's clear that it's not a Georgian plane. And Steve, the only one who could understand the language here, shouted: "The plane of the Russians, Su-25!" Hide quickly. ”

Take cover? Where else can I hide at this moment? What else is there around here now besides the ruins? Just when everyone didn't know where to hide for a while, the sound of an explosion had already been heard. Pete had no choice but to quickly pull Steve to lie down on the spot with him, closing his eyes and resigning himself to fate.

The sound of the explosion soon became louder and closer, and the vibration from the ground became stronger and stronger, and at the same time, more than one plane could be clearly felt in the sky, and the most recent explosion exploded at an intersection about fifty meters away from Pete. The violent vibration caused by the explosion was as if someone was holding a thousand pounds of hammer under the ground and gave it a hard blow, so that Pete's eyes suddenly turned black and he almost fainted without gasping.

But even so, these Su-25s did not leave with a single shot as before. Instead, after completing a quick wave of attacks, they flew to the south. It seems that the bombing will continue there, after all, it is the only way for the Georgian army to enter Tskhinvali, and there may be a large number of personnel and equipment coming to the city at this moment.
