This time, Ashraf asked to speak directly with Chennikov, and when Chennikov took the radio handed over by someone around him, Chennikov immediately said: "There are too many Americans, it is difficult for us to resist!" ”

"Retreat!" Before Ashraf could finish speaking, Ashraf said: "Don't stop them! We can't support you now, so retreat now! ”

Chinnikov could hear the eagerness in Ashraf's voice. He remembered that Ashraf was rarely like this, and he couldn't even remember the last time he was so anxious. This showed that the situation here was worse than he expected. He immediately responded: "We are retreating. Retreating! ”

"Good!" Ashraf was slightly relieved to hear that Chinnikov was not stupid, and after softening his tone, he added: "Your task now is to watch them, and from a distance. Meet me when they're far away. ”

After Chinnikov answered, Ashraf slowed down as well. He didn't rush to ask his subordinates to pass through the crack, not to mention that there might be an ambush on the other side, but no, and it didn't really mean much after he carefully passed through one by one. Even if you catch up with the Yankees, it doesn't mean that you have caught up with the target. He will definitely use some people to deal with him, and then cover his target to evacuate faster. So I had to think of something else.

Ashraf thought as he looked at the sky, and the only way to do it at the moment might be to call for air support. I don't know if it's too late. After all, the point of the whole war is not here, but in Tskhinvali. And the words of air support are likely to mean that they are no longer captured alive, but directly destroyed. If that's the case, even if you eliminate the other party in the end, you can work for so long is equivalent to doing it in vain, that is, you have failed. But on second thought, if you fail to eliminate these Yankees, it will be a real failure. All my efforts have not been in vain, and what I need to do now is not to let myself lose too ugly.

Thinking of this, Ashraf immediately said to the person next to him who was in charge of communication: "Help me contact the sloth." Fast! ”

The "sloth" was Semolov, who had interrogated the Georgians in Tskhinvali earlier. At the moment Semolov is in Abkhazia. He's obviously progressing much more smoothly here than Achraf. The men under his command had already besieged several targets that needed to be captured, and were waiting for him to give the order to do so. At that moment, his men handed over the phone number that had been used to communicate with Ashraf.

"Ashraf?" Semolov asked, took the phone after seeing that the person holding the phone nodded, and said, "Good news?" ”

Hearing Semolov's voice, Ashraf immediately said: "We failed to catch the target. The Yankees came in for a lot of help, but now we and the other side are still in the woods southwest of Tskhinvali ... ”

"Alright. These are the details I don't want to know. It's useless for you to tell me this. Just say what you want me to do. Semolov said impatiently.

Although Ashraf was dissatisfied with Semolov's attitude, this was not the time to care, and he sighed and said, "I need air support. ”

"Air support?" Semolov looked a little surprised and said, "I remember that our mission was to catch alive. If you ask for air support, you probably won't even be able to find the body. ”

"But the current form is that if we alone can't catch the target, we can only watch them leave!" Ashraf said angrily, "Our mission is indeed to catch him alive, but if we can't catch him alive, we have to kill him." That's the right description of our mission. ”

"Okay!" Semolov looked a little helpless and said, "Do you need me to help you get in touch?" No problem. I'll get you in touch right away. If you can, someone will contact you on this number. That's it. ”

Achraf was about to say something, but Semolov didn't give him the opportunity and hung up the phone after he finished speaking. Then he picked up another phone after a long sigh, not directly requesting air support for Ashraf, but asking for instructions. After all, Eric is an important target, and Semolov does not intend to blow this extremely valuable and important target to pieces without any consultation.

Naturally, he asked for instructions from people far away in Moscow. It was the man named Younis who had eaten at that world-famous restaurant before the war began.

However, it was not Younis who was contacted, but Ivan. Ivan did not appear to be disappointed after a brief listening to Semolov's debriefing. Instead, Semolov was asked to focus on what he was doing at the moment, and it was up to him to connect with Achraf.

Ivan didn't make a decision lightly, and he didn't simply leave the matter to Younis. Instead, he contacted Ashraf first, and he trusted him, because it was his decision and proposal to use Ashraf. So no matter what, he has to support Achraf, even if he does fail.

When Ashraf heard Ivan's voice, he was a little ashamed but relieved. He immediately briefly introduced the difficulties and assumptions he was currently facing to Ivan. After listening to this, Ivan sighed and said, "Don't you have anything to gain?" ”

Hearing Ivan mention this, Ashraf immediately reacted. This reflected not only that he remembered Steve, who had just been caught, but also understood that Ivan had begun to excuse and pave the way for the responsibility he would bear in the future.

So Ashraf immediately said: "Yes." We caught a Yankee. It's the people who travel with the target, and it's also the intelligence agency. According to his own confession, his name is Steve. ”

"Really?" Ivan chuckled and said, "And what about other than that?" Did you kill a lot of people? ”

"That's right! We killed quite a few Georgians, probably a platoon. In addition, we have killed a lot of Yankee mercenaries. Ashraf said.

"Good. Then your task now is to keep an eye on those Yankees. A forward commander will be in touch with you in a moment. You have to point the way to the air strike. Ivan said.

"Understood!" Ashraf let out a long sigh of relief after Ivan hung up. After looking at the crack in front of him, he contacted Chennikov again.

At the same time, Ivan had just finished his call with Ashraf and went straight to Younis's office. At this moment, Younis had just come in from outside and returned to the office, and when he saw Ivan come in, he looked at him and said, "Look at you like this, you know that it is not good news." ”
