Chapter 160: It's hard to protect yourself
Because of the unfavorable situation before, Captain Hassan asked me to confirm the progress of reinforcements. Then you attacked, and Captain Hassan was killed. So I'm pretty sure. The captive said.
"Good." Said said and raised his hand to shoot at the other captive, and the frightened man, who claimed to have been in charge of communications, squatted on the ground and hugged his head, trembling there.
"Don't be afraid." Saeed did not continue to shoot, but put away the gun and said, "I count when I speak." I am very satisfied with your answer. I'm not going to kill you. After speaking, he motioned to his subordinates and said, "Lock him up first." Our most important guest is coming, and we should have brought out our best delicacies and tea. ”
Said's men naturally know what to do for a while, and they know what they will face for a while, simply put, they will use their flesh and blood to resist the coming torrent of ironclad. It's dangerous, and they won't retreat here, and they won't be able to take a step back until they're all dead in Alsabad. But it can be seen that these people are very determined, and they all act according to the plans they have made before.
While the militants here in the small town of Shahad were preparing for the final decisive battle, Pence, who had been rushing to Alsabad but had been holding back the inability to advance here, was still trapped in the area and could not extricate himself. Here in Alsabad, things have gotten a little better for Team 009.
There was no fierce fighting at the moment, although the sound of gunfire had been heard from the direction where they were, but it was neither from them nor from the militants who were rampaging through Alsabad. Instead, the armed men who had been stationed there engaged in an exchange of fire with another group.
It turned out that just as Team 009 was heading west, a small group of Americans appeared a little farther west on the west side, that is, a few militants guarding the west side.
There were only a dozen or so people in this team, and judging from the number of people, they should be the same group of American soldiers who could rush to support Megan and Team 009 in Alsabad. And the reason why they came to the west side was not to get in touch with Megan and make a plan of action, but because they carefully circled around the perimeter and found that only in this direction could they hope to get close to this so-called school. But before they could go too far in the direction of the school, they were discovered. Then the two sides fought, and to make matters worse, someone was hit and wounded soon after the exchange of fire, and for a time they were caught in a dilemma.
At this moment, Team 009, Meghan Cerda, Faiz and other Iraqis heard the gunshots and hid in a small building outside the open field on the west side of the school. He wanted to find out what was going on before he acted, after all, they couldn't make a mistake at the moment, even if they had to get out of here as soon as possible.
"Listening to this gunshot, it looks like one of our people." Donovan listened to the gunshots and turned his head to look at Meghan walking behind him and said, "Did someone arrive?" ”
Megan was stunned for a moment, everything was messed up in her mind at the moment. Hearing Donovan's question, his first thought was that Green had arrived with someone, but then this idea was dismissed. Because it was unlikely in terms of time in the first place, Green couldn't have arrived here so quickly, even if everything went well along the way, his car could have galloped all the way, and if he could have been so fast, he wouldn't have arranged for someone here to pick him up and walk out. Secondly, if it was really Green who arrived, then he would definitely contact himself first instead of fighting with someone so close to him.
So most of the fighting in front of us is a scattered U.S. military or some Iraqi government troops. But just as she was about to say this to Donovan, Zelda, who was following him, spoke, "Could it be the one McGieson said earlier who came to our aid?" ”
As soon as Zelda said this, Meghan suddenly remembered that McGeeson had indeed said that he had transferred a team of about ten people to support him, and at that time he was very dissatisfied with McGieson because of this, so he didn't take this person to heart at all.
"Are these really the guys?" After asking rhetorically, Megan said, "But even if it's them, there are only about a dozen of them." ”
"A dozen or so?" Donovan looked surprised.
"Isn't it disappointing?" Megan sighed helplessly.
"Nope." Donovan shook his head and said, "Not a disappointment. But I admire these ten or so people, if there are really only ten of them, how can they have the guts to walk through the city that has lost control? And did luck really go around to our west side? ”
"I don't think it's any matter if they're lucky or not, at least it's out there, and Al Sabad shouldn't be besieged. This group of militants must have concentrated their manpower, so many places and even important traffic roads are unguarded. Pete said.
Donovan nodded and said, "That makes sense." ”
"Don't talk about the useless ones." Ochoa said, gesturing to the east side, "Someone from the school is coming out." ”
Donovan immediately got up and walked to Ochoa's side. Ochoa was standing guard to the east by a hole in the wall. Looking through the hole, I could see a dozen or so figures moving quickly in my direction under the moonlight.
Donovan immediately turned around and said, "Get ready to fight, don't make a sound." The way they act is not that they have discovered us, but more like they are going to a place where there is a firefight. ”
"That's better, so we can escape." Ochoa Road.
"But what if those people are really American soldiers who are coming for us?" Morris, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke, "Leave them alone?" ”
"You have to have the capital." Ochoa looked at Matt, who was already dead, and the other wounded on Morris's body, and said, "Don't forget that we are unable to protect ourselves now, and you still want to take care of others?" ”
"That's it!" Donovan raised his hand to stop, "Stop arguing. They're coming. ”
Hearing this, everyone kept their mouths shut. The group of people who had chased them from the school stopped and waited not far from this row of buildings, and after a while, about twenty more people came from the direction they came.
The men gathered together as if they were discussing it, and after about two or three minutes they split into two groups and continued westward, quickly disappearing from view.
