Chapter 60: Vitality

Therefore, when chasing the man-eating shark team, Ashraf did not let his guard down because the other party was already full of wounded soldiers and was at the end of his crossbow. In fact, on the contrary, Ashraf thought a lot while having people chase down the Piranha Shark Squad. The first is to think carefully about the reasons and motivations for these Yankees to run here and persist until now.

Is it tenacious? Of course, it is undeniable that they have been able to fight all the way to this point and are still resisting, whether they are their enemies or not. Not only can it not be denied, but we must also admit that the tenacity of these people is actually beyond their original imagination. But he absolutely didn't believe that it was just tenacity that kept them going until now. True motivation should come from hope. Yes, it's hope. That said, there's a reason why they're desperately trying to get here.

Judging from the situation along the way, they are not panicked but have a clear idea. What's more, they have been able to gather the defeated Georgians around them and organize them to continue fighting again and again, which shows that these Yankees not only have a wealth of experience and literacy, but also have clear reasons that can be convincing to the Georgians. Only in this way can the already routed Georgians be quickly stabilized and then thrown into battle again.

And what can convince? Is it a dead end with no way out, or a desert with no end in sight? Obviously not, the only thing that can make a difference at this moment, and can make people feel that there is still hope, is rescue. The Yankees must have been in contact with their own people before they chose to leave the mountainous area on the western side of Tskhinvali. But it's normal, and it's normal. Although their own side completely disrupted communications in South Ossetia after launching an attack on Tskhinvali, it is not 100% certain that they will not be able to contact people outside. And the most important thing is that I have roughly estimated the time for some of the surrounding Yankee teams to rush here to support, if you look at the estimation results, when you start the final pursuit of the man-eating shark team, it will have already passed the estimated time for the earliest arrival of the opponent's reinforcements.

So along the way, Ashraf did not take his opponent lightly because his opponent was gradually weakening, and his side's advantage was getting bigger and bigger. In fact, on the contrary, as time went on, Ashraf became more and more cautious, and became more and more worried about the delay in catching his target, namely Eric. This made Ashraf mentally prepared before an unidentified group of armed forces launched an attack, and after the battle began, Ashraf not only did not panic, but felt relaxed. It's just that he regrets it for a while, because he feels that he didn't give his subordinates enough reminders, and because he wavered in his estimation when he saw that he was about to succeed, he thought he was thinking too much.

"Don't panic!" Ashraf led the team to hide behind a large tree after being attacked, and after a quick observation, he turned to the person in charge of liaison who had been following him: "There are not many people in this group, the attack is not resolute, they are not here to fight us." Tell the raccoon to hurry up and find me a target so that the weasel can cooperate with the raccoon. We're going to hold these people down here and buy them time. ”

While Ashraf was making arrangements, on the other side. The group that suddenly appeared and attacked the Russians was none other than mercenaries from the Hermet Security Company, led by John, who had come to the rescue of the Maneating Shark Squad. They had just followed the sound of gunfire all the way to this place, as John had estimated before. When they first arrived, they didn't see Pete and Eric, who had already rolled down the hill before leaving, and they didn't notice that Donovan, who was still resisting in a desperate situation. Instead, they saw Ochoa, who was retreating with the wounded with difficulty, and the Russians who were ambushing on the hillside. That is, the team codenamed Weasel led by Ashraf who was preparing to give Pete the final blow.

So, as they led Ochoa to their side, they opened up their ranks and shot at several Russians who had already bypassed Donovan and were quickly pursuing Ochoa, as well as the weasel squad on the hillside that they had mistaken for an ambush.

Ochoa and the others, who were already making their final dying struggles, were in an indescribable mood at the moment when they saw the group of their own people who suddenly appeared, and their morale was like bungee jumping, and they bounced back from the bottom of the valley at once. That feeling is even better than winning the jackpot in the lottery.

Even at that moment, Matt and Morris seemed to forget the pain, and they involuntarily sped up and rushed towards their own people. And John's men did not just shoot, but several figures rushed towards Ochoa after their companions began to shoot at the Russians on both sides at the same time, and then they set up the wounded and quickly retreated. Then they quickly advanced towards Donovan as a whole.

Although Ashraf quickly calmed down, the Russians he led were not as calm as he was. After being attacked, their rhythm and formation were completely disrupted. The Weasel Squads on the hillside were fine, while the Russians on Achraf's side, who were scheduled to wipe out the remnants of the Man-Shark Squad, were worse. At that moment, all of them were dodging, no one was shooting, and few of them were even figuring out where the other was.

And Donovan, who originally thought it was going to be over, was actually stupid at that moment, although he knew that someone would come to meet or rescue, but just now he didn't think about it anymore. Because he felt that it was too late, and when he first heard the gunshots behind him, he also thought that the other party had outflanked them and completed the final blow against Ochoa. But just as he was about to empty the bullets in the magazine and close his eyes and wait for death, the Russian, whom he had been holding back, suddenly stopped moving, and then there was a shout calling his name behind him. Although this shout was hoarse, it was difficult to discern who was shouting at that moment, but no matter who it was, the shout at this moment was undoubtedly a natural sound for Donovan.

Donovan immediately threw away the rifle in his hand, which was about to run out of bullets, and got up from the ground with some difficulty, and before he could stand firmly, he quickly ran towards the people who came to meet him.

Just as Donovan was successfully picked up by his own men and disengaged from contact with the Russians, Chinnikov quickly followed Ashraf's instructions and quickly came to the ridge and looked to the other side of the ridge, that is, to the west. I saw that there were no figures of the two men on the steep hillside on this side, and only two traces of rolling down could be seen from the weeds that had been crushed and had not yet been restored, as well as the stones and soil that rolled down from time to time.
