"Understood!" Thun replied, adding, "What if you are attacked from land after the exchange of fire begins?" Your position is not good, and we will probably not be able to attack those coming from the west. ”

"I know that. Your main mission is to take out the two patrol boats first. After that, let's wait for my instructions. It is advisable to concentrate your men and concentrate on the two patrol boats now. John said.

"Understood!" Thun replied, "So which channel are our gunners going to contact Colin?" ”

"Just use our channel and go ahead and arrange it. Talk to me when you're ready. ”

After finishing his correspondence with Thun, John looked at Kane, who had gathered all the people who were ready to cross the river and was waiting for John's orders.

John saw that they were ready and quickly came to these people, and after looking at them, he said, "Remember, you don't really want to cross the river. It's just a show. So try to be as calm as possible, to make people feel that we are prepared and everything is arranged, as if going for a swim in a lake not far from home. Also, follow my instructions and continue swimming to the other side of the river without any hesitation before I let you go back. Don't hesitate even if a gunshot goes out. You won't be able to swim back until I ask you to come back. Do you understand everything? ”

The people selected by Kane immediately responded, but the few who were rescued seemed very hesitant. John looked at them and said, "Don't worry too much. Didn't my people tell you? Perhaps the people who cross the river are the safest. After speaking, he looked at Howard, who was on guard, and said, "Let everyone expand the scope of vigilance, quickly!" ”

After Howard began to direct the rest of the men to move, John motioned to Kane and told them to get moving. And he himself slowly came to a tree on the north side and squatted down. After watching Kane and the others begin to prepare for launching, the sailor contacts Toby, who has been hiding.

"Toby, can you hear me?"

"You can hear me." Toby's voice was soft, suggesting that the Russians might not be too far away from him.

John looked at the north side and said, "The action has begun, and you are ready to do it at any time." ”

"Understood!" After Toby answered. John quickly changed the channel and communicated with Colin: "Colin, what's the situation on the highway now?" ”

Colin, who was still staring at the control screen, whispered, "They're still on standby, and there's no sign of action." ”

Colin's answer did not surprise John. These people who are following them are very careful, they need time to come up slowly, and they have to give them some time. So he spoke: "The action has begun, keep an eye on them." Let me know as soon as they get into action. In addition, you will be contacted by Thun's people, who operate mortars, and you will guide them to carry out the shelling. ”

"Okay... Colin didn't seem to be very confident in this, "It's not a good job. ”

"Huh." John chuckled and said, "Don't be too demanding, just make them feel threatened." You have time to correct where the shells landed. ”

Just as Colin and the men on the other side of Thun had established contact with John's instructions, Chemov, who had been following them all along, had quietly approached them.

They couldn't get too close, though, and were forced to stop. Because they found the Yankees who were on the alert. This made Chemov suddenly nervous.

Because these Yankees are obviously deliberately expanding the scope of their vigilance, it must indicate that they are preparing to make some kind of action here. Sending people out for the sake of safety is tantamount to demarcating a circle of guarded areas.

What can they do at this moment? Is there anything else to do besides crossing the river? However, Chemov was not reckless, he had to confirm it, after all, the experience of this night can be said to have left a lot of shadows on him. Especially watching those two patrol boats disappear without playing any role at all, it made him a little afraid of the Yankees he had been chasing. So at this moment, he didn't dare to jump to conclusions, but he quietly leaned towards the river after observing it.

Chemov's idea at the moment was simple, he needed to see them in action. Only by seeing can we really draw conclusions. However, in order not to miss the opportunity, the situation of delaying the fighter plane occurred. As he approached the river, he contacted Semolov. He's going to have to get Semolov ready.

Semolov, who had been waiting on the highway for news, seemed to wake up when he heard Chemov's voice on the radio again. Because his instincts told him that it was almost time for him to have a result. It's already the middle of the night, and those Yankees can't plan to cross the river after dawn, right? It's summer, and it's the height of summer, and it's dawning early. So it's time for them to act, both in terms of distance and timing.

I saw him take the radio and speak eagerly: "Captain! What's the situation? ”

The Yankees stopped again. They stopped after rounding the bend in the river, and now they have set up a ring of guards. We can't go any further. Chemov said.

Hearing the two points of "bend" and "warning circle" made Semolov think of the Yankee's plan at once. He immediately said to Chemov: "Captain, what are you going to do now?" I can tell you that now they are most likely arranging a river crossing. ”

"That's what I thought too." Chemov immediately responded, "I'm heading towards the river." I want to confirm this and see what the hell they are doing. I was on the other side of the bend in no time, and when I got there I could see some of them by the river. ”

"Good!" Semolov praised Chemov's caution this time, "I started preparing right away. As soon as you are sure that they are preparing to cross the river or are crossing the river, notify me immediately and fire flares into the air as you have done before, indicating the approximate location. Also, be hidden, especially if you're near the river, and don't forget that they have people on the other side. ”

"Understood! I'll be careful. Chemov replied, then quickened his feet and leaned towards the river. At the same time as he acted, Semolov quickly got out of the car, and signaled to the people around him: "Let everyone get out of the car, check all the weapons and equipment, all the vehicles are started, and everyone is ready to act." Also, tell the two patrol boats on the river to lean over the bend, as close to the west bank as possible, and be wary of people on the east bank. ”
