"That's a good point." Achraf looked at the other and smiled: "I've always liked to have locals who cooperate with me because they always give me very good advice. As you just said. Ashraf said, pointing to the southwest part of the map and said, "Actually, I have already made arrangements, I will take other people here, if it really happens like what you just said, I will notify and withdraw those who have been assigned to you, of course, if you are interested in coming and taking a look, it is no problem." ”

The three Ossetians spoke to each other after Ashraf had finished speaking, and then the older one spoke again: "We will try our best to find it." These people are our enemies, and we are duty-bound. ”

"Good. Then we need to hurry. They may already be on the run. As he spoke, Ashraf walked to the door, opened it, and said to the man standing outside the door, "Let them in." ”

After Ashraf closed the door again and returned to his room, the young man who had not spoken, said, "Can I know when we will be able to retake Tskhinvali?" ”

"Recaptured?" Ashraf looked at him and chuckled, "No, you shouldn't have said that, because you haven't lost her yet." The Georgians did not completely occupy it at all. And I can tell you responsibly that Tskhinvali will soon be completely back in the hands of the Ossetians, and you will soon be able to return home. The real offensive will soon begin. ”

Achraf's words made the three Ossetians very happy, and just then three heavily armed Russians opened the door and entered.

Ashraf turned to the three of them, "This is the leader of the squad that will leave with the three of them." After saying that, he looked at the three Russians, "Khubarov. ”

Hearing Ashraf's shout, the called Kumbarov took a step forward and looked at Ashraf waiting for orders. Ashraf pointed to the older Ossetian: "This is Uncle Wahaze. You and your men will follow them and be in charge of the search in Area One. ”

"Understood!" Kombarov stepped back in agreement.

Ashraf looked at the next one and said, "Golovin."

The Russian named Golovin also stepped forward to look at Achraf, only to hear Ashraf say, "You follow this one." As he spoke, he pointed to the middle-aged man: "This Mr. Gerrish is in charge of the search in Area 2. ”

"Understood!" While Gerrish retreated, Ashraf looked at the last man, "Chinnikov, you follow this Alexidze, in charge of the search in Area Three. ”

The Russian, named Chennikov, looked at the Georgian and responded: "Understood! And stepped back. At the same time, Ashraf walked up to the three of them and said, "When you get to your respective areas, please listen to the advice of these friends." They are locals who know us better about the place. As soon as I found a suspicious person, the first thing I noticed was to think about holding them back. Thirdly, and most importantly, the person in the photo should try to live as much as possible. If it really doesn't work, he can be killed, and in short, he can't be allowed to leave Georgia. Do you get it? ”

Just as the Russians and local Ossetians had joined forces to hunt Eric, Pete, Donovan and Eric retreated to the fork in the road and hid in the woods on the side of the road, quietly watching the situation at the three intersections on the opposite side. They had been here for half an hour and had to wait a while, after all, it was four or five kilometers from Ossetia Square to here, and even if they had jogged all the way, it would have taken more than forty minutes. While they were waiting, the Russian air raids began again in full force after the sky cleared, and they were very violent at the beginning, with explosions coming one after another, and some bombs were dropped on the west of the city. Of course, the most violent place is still in the southern part of the city.

"How long will such a bombing take?" Lieutenant Loria, who was lying on the side of the road and hidden, said as he looked in the direction of the city.

Eric sighed and said softly, "Today may take a day, unless the Russians attack the city on a large scale, and the intensity of the air raid will drop after entering the street fighting." ”

"Can we stop them? You know, the Russians' 58th Army outnumbered all of our troops. Loria said and looked at Eric and said, "Are you going to send troops?" ”

Eric was silent on this question, because in fact, many people knew that the Americans would not fight directly with the Russians on the battlefield, at least not for Georgia. Eric knew this better, so he couldn't answer the question for a while.

However, Loria seems to have her own insights and ideas, and after seeing that Eric is silent, he adds: "Maybe there will be no so-called military intervention at all." Otherwise, you wouldn't be in such a hurry to get out of here. After speaking, he looked in the direction of the city on the east side, "Many of us are also reluctant to attack South Ossetia. But now it's too late. ”

"Don't be too pessimistic. If they fail to stop the Russians here, it is unlikely that they will continue south into Georgia. Eric said.

"Really?" Loria was a little unconvinced, he shook his head slightly and said, "The Russians don't let their enemies go easily. ”

Eric glanced at Loria and said, "It's different. I can't explain to you why. But I can tell you that I have my own basis for saying this, and this basis is relatively reliable. So if you leave here, you can choose to go home safely, but don't go to Tskhinvali, which will soon be impossible to get in and out. ”

"I hope so." After Loria said this, she didn't say anything more, but kept looking to the east side, listening to the explosions.

Pete, who had been on the alert not far from them, listened to their conversation and stared in the direction of the intersection, and in his opinion the Georgians were very irresponsible to themselves, and felt like they were gambling, and the kind of gambling that completely pinned their hopes on others. And at this moment, the side on which the hope was pinned did not move at all, as if it was just standing on the sidelines and watching, watching the Russians break in and fight the Georgians, the only thing to do was to let these unofficial people evacuate all the intelligence and diplomatic personnel from here. The term Sotofi could not be more appropriate for the Georgians of today.
