"So the soldiers in these places are still all around and there is no movement?" Donovan continued.

Faiz shook his head and said, "I don't know. No one informed me, and I didn't know who to ask. ”

As Faiz spoke, the old prison guard had left alone. In the open space in front of the prison gate, a large part of these assembled Iraqi soldiers soon boarded the various vehicles parked on the side of the road, leaving only a small number, about twenty or thirty people, who did not leave the same place, apparently the remaining personnel.

"Let's go. We hurry up and get our things done. Remove weapons, ammunition and drinking water from the car. Donovan looked at Faiz and said, "Captain, please ask these people who are left behind to see what is going on there." We can't be threatened without knowing whether it's big or small, right? ”

"Okay." Faiz nodded and said, "I'll find out when I arrange it." After saying that, he turned around and called a few of his subordinates who were already on standby not far away, and after some instructions, they took their own actions.

Donovan and the others passed through the prison gates to his three Humvees, where they began to remove the ammunition from them.

"Let's move some of them first." "If they can really get the situation under control, we'll have to get in the car again." ”

Pete glanced at Donovan and said, "I don't know what the target of this attack is." ”

"Kill." Morris on the side said: "Isn't there a US military stationed in the southeast?" ”

Donovan glanced at Morris and smiled, "Whatever it is, I hope our people can get through this without a hitch." ”

As he spoke, several figures walked out of the barbed wire door on the side. Megan, Zelda, Ochoa, and Ellie can be identified by the lights on in the prison.

"Where is this attacking?" Meghan asked immediately after seeing Donovan.

"Southeast. It should be the location of the US military here. Donovan looked at Avery and Ochoa and said, "Come here, bring some more ammunition." ”

"Are you preparing?" Megan asked and looked around, "Is the situation unfavorable?" Where is Faiz? ”

"He's learning the situation." Donovan said, "The situation is unclear now, and I can't say whether it is good or bad. We're just preparing. ”

Saying that, Donovan glanced at the prison building and said, "What about here?" Do they have any measures? ”

"They are ready to recall everyone who is off work. All come back and be on standby. After Meghan finished speaking, she looked at Zelda and said, "Is that so?" ”

"Yes." Zelda nodded and said, "I went to ask before." Here's what they said. However, they were on the phone at the time, and judging from the conversation on this phone, it didn't seem like the situation was going well outside? ”

"What's bad? Can you be specific? Donovan immediately asked.

Zelda thought for a moment and said, "I don't know the specifics. I just heard from them that there are a lot of armed men on the other side. Car bombs were used at the beginning. There have been quite a few dead and wounded. ”

Car bombs... Hearing this, Pete immediately understood what was going on with such a big movement before. He looked at Zelda and said, "Is there only one place where there is a situation?" I mean it's business as usual in the rest of the city, right? ”

Zelda shrugged and said, "I don't know. They didn't mention anything else. I think so. ”

Pete was slightly relieved when he heard him say this, although he didn't get an answer. But at this moment, an explosion came from the north. The explosion was also very violent, and it was closer to the prison, and flashes of lightning could be seen in the sky. The explosion stopped, and a burst of gunfire followed.

"This is the north side." Morris immediately shouted, "Are our men stationed in the north as well?" ”

Pete looked at Donovan and said, "It should be a checkpoint, a checkpoint that controls the important road that continues north." ”

Donovan nodded, and at this moment he also realized the seriousness of the problem, and only listened to him: "It seems that what these people are going to do tonight is not so simple. He had just finished speaking. From the east, there was also a sudden sound of gunfire, which quickly became dense and intense. Judging by the sound of gunfire, they are all rifles of the Kalashnikov series, and judging from the distance, it should be the location of those Iraqis who set out not long ago to support in the southeast.

Gunshots rang out, and the Iraqis who had stayed outside were thrown into disarray. I just heard people shouting outside, as if they were all running. After a while, Faiz walked in briskly from the prison gate, and immediately said after seeing Meghan: "The checkpoint on the north side has been attacked. A large number of militants have now appeared there. The men outside were ordered to pay attention to the north side of the prison as well as to the northeast direction. ”

"Does anyone know what their specific goals are?" Donovan asked, looking at Faiz.

"I can't say for sure right now." Faiz said, shaking his head.

Morris looked up at a few places where gunshots kept coming from and said, "Are they going to attack here?" Now we seem to be in the middle of several places where there is a firefight. ”

"Don't speculate." Faiz seemed to be very jealous of Morris's statement, "If they really want to attack here, they will have to pay a great price." If you want to come here, you have to destroy or at least repel the garrison here, break through these outposts on the periphery, and even then there is me and my people guarding here, plus the guards of the prison, there will be no problem guarding this building. And if it really develops to that point, reinforcements from the Mosul direction will arrive very quickly. So we're just going to stay here and don't get cranky, okay? ”

"Captain." Donovan spoke: "We understand these things when you don't need them. It's just that outside now, there are only twenty or thirty people left guarding the outside of the prison, and it is obviously not enough to defend in two directions and control the checkpoints you mentioned? ”

Faiz is clearly aware of the problem. He was stunned and said, "And my people." I'll help the guards here. ”

Donovan sighed and said, "I think you should ask for support from Mosul as soon as possible." In addition, it is best to keep track of the battle situation outside. Even if we're not going anywhere here, we need to know what's going on outside, right? ”

"Okay. I'll arrange all of that. Faiz said and pointed down the prison stairs, "Now you'd better all go back to the prison." ”

"Who's in prison now?" Pete asked.
