Chapter 146: Attack
But at this moment, Perez's voice came from the hand table. "What's going on there with you? Yankees, didn't they go? ”
The man quickly withdrew his gaze, retracted his hiding place, and said, "Yes, sir. I think so. Both Juan and Martiel's are dead. I think we need support. ”
"How many of them are there?" Perez asked a little depressed.
"I don't know. They hid in houses on the side of the road. All of a sudden, they shot at us. As the man spoke, gunfire began again, hitting the collapsed brick wall where the man was hiding.
"Didn't they go?" Perez couldn't help but be a little suspicious as he listened to the gunshots that had just come again. Although judging from the sound of gunshots, there are not many people on the other side, at most two or three people are shooting, but this is the problem. Who would leave such a few people here at this time? Blockade? What's the use of such a little person? Who wants to be left to do such a thing?
But if they didn't leave, but hid in that street, what were they waiting for? Could it be that the people who came to their rescue were about to arrive? This can't be, how long has it been? No matter how fast it is, it can't be so fast. Then the most likely explanation is that they were delayed for some reason and stopped there. Perhaps they were preparing to continue eastward at the moment, but their own scouters approached, and they had to fire first to kill them.
Right. Most likely. They must not have gone far. In that case, he didn't have to rush to the south first. Otherwise, when they concentrated their forces on Mina and the thirty men he led, then these men under their command would definitely not be able to resist. Then I'll have to bring myself back with someone else. Instead of running back and forth like that, it is better to let Mina block their way in the city, while he himself leads more in the rear. Perhaps this will not only make it easier to delay them, but even give them more damage.
Thinking of this, Perez immediately said to the people around him: "Turn around!" To the north! Hurry! Let's go back. Hurry up, hurry up! After saying that, he looked at the man who was following his car: "You, find a few people who want to take money from Mexicans." Tell them that the Mexican bounty has been raised again, and that a Yankee is now worth 300,000 dollars. Tell them that if they want to get rich, now is the time for a rare opportunity. The Yankees are on the run, and if they don't hurry up and besiege, they won't have a chance. ”
While John and Perez were each calculating against each other, outside the city, southeast of El Carmen, Hernandez, Pete and Pete, with Ochoa's support, retreated to the north by the barbed wire fence that had been cut.
They did not enter the woods immediately, but stood by as John had said, waiting for further instructions from John.
The surroundings were quiet again, and the city was quiet as well. This kind of silence makes people feel a little weird and unsettling. But Pete was much more relieved than before, because John had informed him of the evacuation plan not long ago. He knew that as long as they waited a little longer, they would not only be able to get reinforcements from Colin, but they would also be able to join the army and leave here together.
It's just that this wait is a little difficult, but he took a deep breath and looked at Hernandez, who was already lying on the ground by the tree on the outside of the barbed wire. After looking at it, he whispered, "How is he?" ”
Jill looked at Hernandez and said, "It's not good. It is estimated that the gas may be cut out at any time. ”
Ochoa wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and walked through the hole in the barbed wire to Hernandez's side, and after a quick check, said, "Unless we go to El Carmen and find a hospital right away, we can only watch him die." ”
Pete doesn't have a good way to do this, now this guy's life and death don't matter to him, he has done everything he can, and has tried his best to do the best, even if he can't capture this guy alive, there is nothing to regret. So he didn't say anything, but turned to look at Falco, who was sitting against a tree.
By now Falcao was awake, but it was clearly injured. He said when he saw Pete looking at him, "Don't look at me. I'm so much better than that guy. I won't be able to die for a while. ”
"It's just that it's a little difficult to move." Jill said, looked at Pete's injury, and then said, "It's worse than you." His leg may have been broken. ”
Just as he was speaking, Coleman, who had been on guard, suddenly raised his hand to signal everyone's attention. Pete and the others immediately quieted down and picked up their guns. After glancing in the direction Coleman was looking, Pete slowly lay on the ground with some difficulty, and motioned for the others to disperse and prepare for battle.
"What do you see?" Jill leaned against a tree and whispered after looking ahead at the lack of movement.
"Two points in the direction." Coleman said, "There should be something. ”
Pete immediately looked at two o'clock, but when he saw through the barbed wire, he could only see a pitch black patch. Because Pete's night vision device had been damaged and discarded, he could only roughly tell that it was supposed to be a forest, and nothing else.
"Could you be mistaken?" Jill said in a very low voice.
Before Coleman could return, Pete said, "Don't speak. Pay attention to your right side. Just as Pete finished speaking, gunshots were heard from the city, that is, from the northwest. The gunfire wasn't as intense as before, and it felt a little closer to me than before. This made Pete turn his head slightly, but when he turned his head to look over, Coleman pulled the trigger.
"Da-da." Coleman made a short point, I don't know if the shot hit, but after this shot, Coleman continued to aim and shouted, "One o'clock... Before he could finish his sentence, gunshots rang out at the same time from one o'clock and ten o'clock.
Pete quickly looked at the place where the shooting was being fired, apparently the other party was coming along the barbed wire fence in the dark, so it was in the direction of one o'clock, but at this moment they should have been deployed, so there were also people shooting there at ten o'clock. In other words, these guys are very familiar with this place, and they know exactly where they are in the dark. And they also know the approximate location of their people, and it is clear that these people must be related to the people who have just attacked the gate. Thinking of this, Pete suddenly found that he had been blocked here at the moment. The few people who had withdrawn must have been hiding outside the door behind them, and they might even sneak in and attack them from behind at any time.
