What John didn't know was that their short stay just in time gave the Abkhazians who were preparing for shelling outside the woods a chance. Just as he was communicating with Thun, a flare flew into the sky again. John immediately realizes the danger when he sees the flares in the sky, and he turns his head to look at Kane and Toby, and motions for them to immediately arrange for someone to prepare for battle.

However, until they were in place, they did not see any unusual movement in the woods. It's just that another flare flew up after a flare, and this flare was closer to him than the previous one, and even some of his men had been illuminated in the process of flying. Then there was another one in the sky, this time closer to them, and it could even be said that it had already flown above their heads.

Pete looked around at the flares that were falling in the air, and suddenly something occurred to him. To be precise, he remembered that it was the smoke bombs released by the Russians before the air raids during the day. That is, now these flares that are constantly rising into the air are not lighting any path, nor are they reconnaissance, but more like marking their positions. Be in the position of what people mark them.

Pete immediately looked at John and quickly came to John's side, he was still in contact with Thune, and he asked the people on the other side of the bank who had left the blocking point in advance to meet them not to leave immediately, but to retreat at the same time as his side, and continue to cover his rear and the patrol boats that might reappear on the river.

But he wasn't done yet, and Pete couldn't wait to speak, "Sir, we can't stay here. It's like they're locating us. We have to keep moving. ”

John may have been distracted by thinking too much, so he didn't even understand what Pete meant for a while. But just as he stopped contact and was about to ask what Pete was talking about, the sound of cannonballs whistling in the sky suddenly came from the sky.

"Shelling! Shelling! Colin and Kane, along with a few experienced mercenaries, immediately reacted and began to hide with yells.

The same is true of Pete and John, except that the moment John hears the shelling, he understands the meaning of what Pete has just said to him. He felt regret the moment he fell to the ground, in fact, he also noticed the flares flying again in the sky, but the other party had been using this thing to try to illuminate himself and his subordinates all night, so just now, after seeing these continuous flying flares, he didn't take it seriously at all, not only did he not realize the other party's tricks, but he even mistakenly thought that the other party might be preparing to attack himself from land as he thought.

But now it's too late to think of anything. Moments after John lay down, two shells fell, one in the woods about twenty meters to the south, and the other closer to the river to the east.

This is a test launch! John immediately got up from the ground, the person who fired the flare will definitely report according to the explosion point at this moment, and the gunner will make corrections according to the report received, if he does not leave quickly, then the next shell will be very dangerous.

"All of them! Move south quickly! Hurry up, hurry up! John said as he quickly got up and ran quickly towards the south.

Pete, of course, did not fall, and he got up after the cannonball exploded, and quickly followed John after seeing him run out.

Just as they suddenly picked up speed and headed south, the shelling outside began again. However, this time it was no longer just two, but a continuous shelling of one after another. I saw that the area where John and Pete were staying was quickly engulfed in explosion after explosion. For a moment, nothing could be seen except the firelight from the eruption.

Watching these explosions, Chemov felt extremely happy. The night's battle was a wreckage from the beginning until the beginning. I once felt that there was no way to take these Yankees at all, and even once I completely lost the confidence to continue fighting, and I just wanted to end it quickly. It was only at this moment that he truly felt the meaning of his visit.

Semolov, who was on the way, signaled the Abkhazians to stop after shelling for almost a minute. At this moment, he desperately needed to know the damage caused by the shelling to these Yankees. It should be said that this night's battle not only caused a psychological shadow on Chemov and others, but also a bad time for Semolov. So he was worried about the effect of the shelling of the line between Chemov and the Abkhazians.

So as soon as the shelling stopped, he contacted Chemov and asked him to immediately go forward to confirm the actual situation of the Yankees at this moment.

Chemov, of course, was a little unpleasant about the cessation of the shelling. But he also knew that more than a minute of continuous shelling in a woods where there were only trees and nowhere else to hide would be devastating for anyone.

So he led a few of his men cautiously towards it. After walking about 100 meters, several people came to the area where the shelling was carried out.

At this moment, the place has completely changed, the original dense trees are gone, and the whole area has become a strange clearing in the forest. But the ground is not even, because on the ground there are not only those that have been blown up and only the bottom stump is left, but there are also slight smoke and sparks. On top of that, the entire ground is also full of craters, one bomb crater after another. But apart from these, not a single American corpse was seen, and after a quick look, only a blown up rifle was found, and a night vision device that had been badly damaged.

Seeing this, Chemov couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and the excitement just now was of course gone at this moment. He quickly searched around, and when he did not see any signs of casualties from the Yankees, he did not dare to slack off, and immediately took out the radio he had with him and contacted Semolov.

By the time Chemov heard his voice, Semolov already knew that the shelling had not had the desired effect. But when he learned that he hadn't blown anyone up at all, he was still a little surprised. According to Chemov's description, it can be known that this is not because the shells landed at the wrong place, but only after communicating and confirming with Chemov, if the landing point is not right, Chemov will definitely ask for a pause and then shell again, and there are indeed items discarded by the Yankees. It can only be said that these Yankees are more cunning and difficult to deal with than they imagined. But now is not the time to think about it, let alone be discouraged. Semolov knew he still had a chance, but the fight was a little more difficult for him.
