With Said's order, the militants immediately went into action. Moments later, mortar shells landed one after another in the area where Pence and Hassan were. This put them in a predicament when they were still planning to launch an onslaught.

"Shelling! Take cover! Take cover! "While someone was shouting, a mortar shell hit a Humvee jeep that was constantly firing from the machine gun on the car. I saw that the shell smashed directly through the roof of the car and fell into the compartment and exploded inside, which made the car explode from the inside out and fall apart in an instant as if it was a ball that was quickly inflated and overcharged. Not only were the machine gunners and the drivers in the car dead, but also the two or three figures around them were knocked to the ground.

Pence quickly looked up after the Humvee broke up and said, "Get the car back and get out of this area." Before he could finish speaking, another shell hit a building on the east side of the road. I saw that when this building exploded, it not only buried the people hiding under him, but also caused many fragments of the building to fly out, posing a great threat to the people around him.

"Damn it!" Hassan, who was not far from Pence, lay on the ground to dodge while turning his head to look at Pence and said, "They may be going to fight back." We have to be ready. ”

Pence certainly expected this, and although he was very unwilling, there was no other good way at the moment. So he looked back at the rear and said, "You take your men and retreat to the rear intersection first." Watch out for the west side to prevent them from taking advantage of the opportunity to attack us. I'm here to hold them off and prevent the people on the north side from counterattacking. ”

"Okay." Hassan, after agreeing, immediately beckoned his men to quickly retreat. At the same time, however, the shelling became more intense, and as if anticipating their movements, the area of the shelling shifted to the south.

I saw that the people who had just begun to retreat kept coming, and some people were blown to the ground. Hassan had no choice but to ask everyone to stop moving and continue to hide, in fact, there is no need for him to say that everyone has already made a choice. Fortunately, the shelling was as violent and short as a summer rainstorm. As soon as the shelling stopped, Hassan urged his men to get up and run to the junction designated by Burns, but before they could reach it, a group of militants rushed out from the west side.

This group of people is very fierce, and they are completely undodging, similar to the kind of charge they were preparing to enter hand-to-hand combat similar to in World War II and even World War I. The biggest difference is that the guns in their hands are still shooting.

Originally, this style of play was undoubtedly suicide, but at this moment, Hassan's gang was not waiting for the battle, but a group of people who had just stood up from the heavy shelling, and the bad people were still trembling and shaking, and some were even dizzy and dazzled by the shock. So suddenly, it can be said that he stabbed him in the heart, and in an instant, a group of people flipped on their backs, and Captain Hassan was shot several times in a panic and fell.

The Iraqis were already unable to resist, and after the death of their commander, they made a mess, only to see them turn around again and go to the north side where Pence and the others were, and some quickly ran east, to the place where there was no gunfire at the moment.

Pence, who was on the north side, witnessed the defeat of the Iraqis in an instant, and although he knew in his heart that he was going to plant here this time, he still mustered up the courage and quickly calmed himself down. But before he could calm his breathing, a rocket flew in from the southwest.

"Rockets! Take cover! Pence was dragged to the ground at the same time as he heard the shouting. The rocket hit a building on the west side of the road not far from them and exploded, and before they could stand up, another one hit them. After the explosion, a burst of heavy fire came towards him, although some of his men, including some Iraqis who were still holding on, tried to fight back, but the effect was not good, the other side was not only firing fiercely, but also kept shortening the distance between the two sides. And at the same time, the group of militants who had been intercepting them on the north side suddenly became active, rushed out from the place where the north side was already entrenched on the northwest side, and launched a fierce attack on the American front under the cover of their companions.

"Sir, we look like we're surrounded." Someone came up to Pence and said, "We seem to be surrounded by enemies. Hassan was killed, and the Iraqis ran away. ”

Pence didn't jump to conclusions, although the situation seemed to be very bad at the moment, and not so long ago he wanted to take the initiative into his own hands, and now... I was really surrounded by divisions. Terry had already led the people to the south, and he was trapped on the north side, and it might be fine if the two sides were close, but at the moment there was already a large blank space between them, which meant that except for being able to talk, all other connections had been cut off, and if they wanted to meet in one place again, they would have to pay a great price.

No. Be calm yourself. Pence quickly took a deep breath and silenced his chattering subordinates for a moment and said, "Stabilize our people first." Stabilize our defenses first. Don't panic, if you don't want to make things worse, take care of your own subordinates, and stabilize them first. ”。

After all, these people under Pence have been following him for a long time, and they are very familiar with each other, so after seeing that Pence is still calm, his mood has stabilized a lot, and they immediately organized their subordinates to turn offensive to defense and try to stabilize the front. As soon as Pence stabilized his emotions, he quickly recalled everything he had experienced from beginning to end. Obviously, if you look at it on the surface, this town looks like a trap to eat itself. At first, the back and forth of attack was more like a lure than now, this group of people deliberately hid their strength, exchanged fire with themselves here, and once allowed themselves to fight quite smoothly. And just now, this group of people should have felt that they couldn't retreat anymore, so they used all their strength to kill themselves here.

Thinking of this, Pence couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, but he immediately shook his head slightly and denied his thoughts just now. Part of the idea, to be exact. That is, this series of actions of this group of people may have been carefully planned, but it is not at all possible to say that this group of people wants to destroy themselves. As he spoke, he looked at the area where the fierce fighting was taking place, and if his group fell into chaos, it might be possible, because this group of militants was obviously well-trained, and it was much more difficult to deal with than he had encountered before.
