Chapter 63: The Secret
The first shot hit a tree on the hillside, and while blowing the tree open, one of the Russians hiding under the tree was naturally not spared. The man was thrown out of the tree after the trunk was blown open, and stopped moving after slamming heavily on the ground.
And this is just the beginning, the RG-6 is capable of holding six rounds of ammunition at a time. And this Yankee apparently also planned the targets of each of the six rounds before the first round was fired. So after the first shot was made, the second and third shots were quickly made with just a slight adjustment. At the same time, the other Helmet mercenaries, who were still firing fiercely just now, changed their magazines one after another rhythmically, and entered a state of standby after changing their magazines, obviously preparing to start a strong attack after the grenade attack.
Just when the Weasel Squad was in a desperate situation on the hillside, on the other side of the Yankee Front, here in Ashraf. Before he saw the first grenade explode, he probably guessed the other party's intentions after seeing the Yankees suddenly increase the intensity of their fire. So just as the first grenade exploded, he contacted the Weasel Squad and asked them to get out of there as soon as possible, and at the same time intensified his attack here to try to cover them.
However, a series of explosions caused great trouble for the Weasel Squad. Just after the sixth grenade exploded, the Yankees' completely unsparing ammunition shot began again. Seeing that the weasel team had no chance to fight back, let alone evacuate, they could only continue to huddle in their respective hiding places and prepare for a final fight. On Achraf's side, the feints organized by these people under him are still not very effective, and it is difficult to contain the Yankees.
After seeing the Yankees advance after a barrage of fire, Ashraf made a decision. He wasn't going to fight any further, though in his heart he wanted to have a good fight with the Yankees. Putting aside the long-standing hostile relationship between the two countries, even if he only focuses on the task at hand, Ashraf thinks that even if he can't accomplish it, he will have to teach the Yankees a hard lesson. Because he couldn't swallow this breath, he saw that he was about to succeed but repeatedly missed, and so far he had lost his troops and gained nothing, which made his mentality a little unbalanced. And his other team, codenamed "Meerkat Class", is about to arrive, as long as they arrive, Ashraf is confident that the Yankees in front of him will pay a terrible price.
But at this moment, Ashraf's remarkable ability to control his emotions came into play. He realized that he was getting angry, and that he was losing his mind because of it. The purpose of coming here is not to fight the Yankees or a group of mercenaries to the death, if the mission cannot be completed, then you must evacuate as soon as possible, even if you kill more people, it has no practical meaning, and every time you lose one more person, you are making the mission you perform worse.
So after a while, Ashraf still twisted the momentum. He admits defeat, and after a long sigh, he sends an order to the raccoons who are searching for Eric on the other side of the ridge, telling them to stop their search and get back to the ridge as soon as possible to get ready to meet the weasels.
As Ashraf retreated, Pete dragged Eric away from the edge of the cliff and continued to move deeper into the woods. After the people on the cliff left, Pete didn't stay behind the tree where he was hiding. Because he estimated the other party's intentions, he knew that since he had chased here, the other party would definitely not give up easily, and they would definitely find a way to come down and see what was going on when they found the place where they rolled off the cliff. Of course, he didn't know that Chinnikov actually had no idea about coming down, and Pete, who was afraid that he was not dead, was waiting for them below with a gun. All he knew was that he didn't have any weapons at the moment, and that only a Russian and Eric would have to give an account of everything. So when the movement on the cliff went to both sides of the cliff and disappeared completely, he dragged Eric as fast as he could into the woods.
On the cliff, Chennikov and his team actually didn't find a way or a way to quickly descend to the bottom of the cliff. While they were still searching, they received an order from Ashraf to abandon their mission and retreat. Chinnikov was quite frustrated and even a little frightened by this order, because the failure to complete this mission was largely his responsibility, and several opportunities were lost in his hands. Although he still wanted to continue, he didn't have the courage to disobey and had no confidence. So he immediately gathered everyone together and prepared to evacuate, but before leaving, Chennikov was a little annoyed and angry and fired a few grenades down the cliff with his men, and after exploding, Chennikov led his men quickly to the ridge.
Although these grenades did not directly kill Pete and Eric, they still scared Pete a lot. He didn't expect that in the end, these people would come to such a hand. But after a while, he let out a long sigh of relief, because this was obviously the last vent of the other party before giving up. He should be safe after this.
After making sure that no one was shooting or throwing grenades, he got up again, but this time with much calmer, resting for a moment and trying again to wake Eric to no avail, before continuing to drag Eric deeper into the woods.
At this moment, the movement from the other side of the hill is getting louder and louder, which means that the exchange of fire is getting more and more intense. Pete had no way of knowing exactly what had happened, and of course he had expected that it might be because the rescuers had arrived, but it was hard to say what had happened. After all, these Russians are very powerful, and the situation in the whole of Georgia at the moment is obviously dominated by the Russians, who knows if more Russians are coming or even have already arrived?
But where exactly to go, where to be safe, Pete has no bottom in his heart. What you can do at this moment is to stay as far away as possible from where the gunshots are coming from. As for what to do after that, we can only take one step at a time, and then we will talk about it. And when dragging Eric all the way, the black bag that Eric had been carrying on his body once again aroused Pete's great interest. He knew that the important thing in his bag was not the notebook, but a small thing, because he remembered seeing Eric take it out and look at it again and again when he was in Tskhinvali. It was supposed to have been given to Eric by the guy he saw at that school in the city, but I don't know what it was inside. But from the importance of Eric, it can be seen that it is very important, otherwise he would not carry this bag with him in everything he does, and he would touch it or open it from time to time to check it.
