After about two hundred meters, Chemov saw the discarded equipment on the ground in front of him. Seeing this, Chemov was even more relieved, and it was obvious that these people would not have any more tricks but would speed up their escape. Thinking of this, he immediately picked up the radio he had with him and reported to Semolov.

By the time Chemov's voice was heard, Semolov's relative position had surpassed that of the Yankees led by John. From his own estimates, he also felt that he had outflanked the Yankees. So after hearing Chemov's report about the Yankees suddenly speeding up and fleeing, he immediately said: "Captain Chemov, whatever you want to say, mark your position first." Shoot a flare or flare into the sky. ”

Chemov immediately agreed, and then asked his men to shoot a flare in the direction of the Yankees' escape.

On the road outside the woods, Semolov immediately saw the flare in the night sky behind his own convoy. This made him very satisfied, and immediately said, "I see." Very good. Tell me how far away your goal is now? ”

"They've run out of our sight." Chemov said as he looked ahead, "It's hard to determine the distance now. ”

Hearing such an answer, Semolov looked helpless. He suddenly fell in love with the annoying Achraf, and if it were that guy, it wouldn't be so useless. After calming his emotions for a moment, he said, "Did they speed through the woods or run towards the river?" ”

"In the woods! They did not come near the river. Chemov replied.

This reassured Semolov a little, and he immediately said, "Now you have to speed up, understand?" I didn't let you fight them, but you can't even see their backs, can you? Speed up! I need them to be in your field of vision. If you spot them, shoot flares into the sky and contact me. Rest assured, Captain, you don't, and I won't leave you alone in that woods to face those bastards. But you need to know where they crossed the river, and know exactly where they are, so do what I want you to do. Finally, I've transferred all the people you brought with you, as well as Sitkov's men, and it's up to you when we can wipe out these damned Yankees. ”

After receiving Semolov's instructions, Chemov reluctantly quickened his march and ran forward quickly. After advancing more than 300 meters, the Yankees reappeared in the woods ahead. After all, they carried the wounded, and they couldn't be too fast. And this time Chemov found that their position was more inclined to the bank of the river than before. Are they going to cross the river from here or nearby?

Thinking of this, Chemov did not dare to slack off, and immediately reported everything he saw to Semolov after firing another flare.

And just as they were making contact, John and the others who were running in front also noticed the flares rising in the air. He knew that the Russians still hadn't given up, and they continued to chase. Although he had tried his best to speed up, judging from the direction where the flare flew this time, the other party was closer to him. And what does it mean that they only fire flares once every so long? Obviously not for simple lighting, right? In this dark place, it is not possible to see the road ahead even if it is fired continuously, let alone after such a long interval. The only explanation is that they were using this thing to show their companions where they were to each other. Yes, definitely. So combined with the fact that they suddenly shortened the distance between themselves and themselves, are they going to do it again? Do you want to fight yourself again in such a wood? Is this possible? I couldn't take it outside, where did I get my confidence after entering the woods? Do you want to shell directly?

Thinking of this, John immediately looked around, and this place was very suitable for shelling. It's all woods, there's nowhere to hide, as long as you can lock on to the target or area, you can definitely hit yourself hard, provided they have a cannon here. But no matter what, they can't take any chances, even if they attack them in the stupidest way.

So, after a brief thought, John immediately turned to the people around him: "Everyone immediately go to the river." Walk towards the river. After saying that, he quickly found Kane and said, "Contact Thun and ask him where the people who came out of Artemison's blocking point have gone?" We need their answer. ”

Kane immediately agreed and immediately began to make contact, and just as everyone was quickly approaching the river, the sound of a motor was heard from the upper reaches of the river, that is, from the north of the river.

"Boat?" John immediately turned his head to look at the place where the sound had come from, there was no exchange of fire at the moment, and it was quiet all around, so the sound from the river was very clear, and from the sound, the boats were moving very fast, and there was more than one. Appearing here at this time, it is obvious that he is here to deal with himself.

"Stop! Return to the woods! Hurry! John immediately retreated back into the woods with his men, and a moment later Kane spoke, "Thun and his men must have been on the other side of the river, for he had just told me that they had just seen the flares fired into the sky." ”

"Good!" John couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard the news. He turned his head to look across the river and said, "Let them prepare to attack the patrol boats coming downstream!" ”

Just as John was about to strike first, Semolov, who had contacted Chemov again, immediately stopped his advance. After contacting the Abkhazians who had come from the river, telling them the general location and situation of the Yankees at the moment, he gave them the order to attack when they found their target. He arranged all the people he brought with him on the edge of the woods, set up a few mortars, and prepared to start attacking after the exchange of fire.

But before he could finish his arrangement, just as the sound of the motor on the river was getting closer and closer, a sudden burst of fire flashed with a violent explosion. Semolov and the people around him instinctively squatted down. After realizing that the explosion did not happen to him and that he was still some distance away, he stood up again.

But at this moment, there was a bad premonition in Semolov's heart, and he immediately looked at the Abkhaz man who was sent to cooperate with him: "Contact the people on the patrol ship immediately, contact them immediately!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, a shot rang out again on the river. It is clear that there is not only the AK-74 rifle but also the PKM machine gun.
