John looked at Pete and Colin who were coming around, and then at Howard, who had already reached the other side, and saw that he had set up a few men on the shore, and should soon be able to take over the cover task in the battle. But just as he withdrew his gaze. Pete and Colin, who were retreating, started shooting again.

Pete and the others found the same Russians who had been assigned by Sergei to continue south and outflank them. The Russians didn't go very far, and quickly circled east after running out of the range of Pete's shot.

However, the first to find out the other party was still Hermet's mercenaries, to be precise, Pete and others who were further south during the retreat.

After seeing the figure flashing in the woods, he turned the muzzle of the gun and pulled the trigger, because the group was already very close, and just after Pete fired, the other party also saw the moving Pete and others by the light of the flares. So at that moment, the two sides pulled the trigger on each other in an instant, as if in an ancient duel.

The other man's bullet knocked down a man running next to Pete, who knew that the man had been shot, but at the moment he didn't care about him at all. Because there were more people coming here than there were, even more than they and Kane, who was covering the shooting, combined. So Pete had no choice but to lean towards the fallen man while continuing to shoot, and when he came to this person, he shouted to the others to report the situation.

"Someone was shot! Someone got shot! Pete shouted as he glanced at the man quickly, only to see that it was Toby who had fallen, and he was still alive at the moment. After Pete came to him, the guy himself rolled over on the ground and looked up at Pete.

"Toby!" Pete shouted again after two shots in a row, "It's Toby!" He's alive! ”

At that moment, John quickly ran towards here with another person with a gun. He immediately shouted after hearing Pete's shout, "Pete, take him to the river, quick!" After speaking, he looked at the others and said, "Cover them, cover shooting." ”

Pete heard John's shout and fired a series of fierce shots at the figure in the woods. After seeing that most of the opponents were dodging, he quickly threw the gun behind him, reached out and quickly threw the gun on Toby's back to the side, and then pulled Toby's tactical vest and retreated backwards.

As soon as the outflanked men on this side were spotted and the exchange of fire began, Sergei immediately ordered his men to intensify their attacks, trying to break through the last line of defense by the river with the light provided by the flares constantly rising in the air.

But just as their own men began to advance, gunshots suddenly rang out in the opposite direction. The bullet hit directly into the area of those who were about to move forward, and in an instant, several figures were hit and fell down.

Sergei quickly turned his head and looked across the river, from where he could not see anything except the occasional flash of fire. In other words, I have encountered the previous trouble at the moment, as if I have fallen into a cycle. However, compared to before, Sergei still has some experience. He quickly approached the people beside him: "Bring up the machine guns we are carrying, find a hidden place and shoot at these places on the other side of the bank where they are shooting." Suppress them! After saying that, the person beside him went to make arrangements, and he contacted Semolov on the road and said: "Mr. Semolov, I need your artillery support, preferably rockets." We'd better send someone to bring me in the rockets we carry. ”

For Sergei's request, Semolov did not dare to slack off. Because now Sergei is his last hope, and if he misses here again, then he can only admit defeat, and it will be a fiasco with great losses. So Semolov agreed and already took action. He decided to go himself, he couldn't stay a minute here on the road, he wanted to go to the front, even if he couldn't change anything again, it was better than watching here.

So soon, after letting the Abkhazians who had been following him and assisting him take over the rest of the people, and letting the mortars shoot as far away as possible into the territory of the Georgians, he and two other Abkhazians quickly entered the woods with two RPG-7 launchers and some ammunition.

At the same time, Pete managed to drag Toby to the shore and hide behind a tree by the river. After retreating, he quickly checked Toby's injuries. Toby was shot in the back, and his lungs may have been pierced, because he was speechless, and the sound of his breathing was somewhat like a broken bellows.

"Looks like you can't go on your own." Pete said as he took a quick look at the river and quickly removed his gun and tossed it aside, as did the tactical vest. After throwing away all the useless stuff on his body, he quickly checked the plastic bag that encased the list. Then, in order to protect what he was hiding, he ripped off the laces of Toby's boots, and tightened his trouser legs and the cuffs of his boots' uppers and socks as if to prevent water from flowing into his trouser legs and shoes.

After doing this, he looked across the river again, and Pete took a deep breath and said to the others who were shooting, "I need to cross the river, I have to carry Toby to the other side of the river." ”

When John heard Pete's shout, he immediately turned his head to look at Pete, and when he saw Toby lying by the tree and couldn't move, he immediately turned around and said, "Colin! You go and do Pete a hand. Make sure you don't let Pete fall when crossing the river, or at least don't let Toby fall overboard! ”

"Understood!" Colin immediately pulled back as he answered, while Pete picked up his gun again and pulled the trigger on the other side.

After Colin retreated, Pete immediately looked at Colin and said, "His lungs are probably pierced." I had to carry him around, so help me. ”

Hearing Pete like this, Colin immediately put down the gun, set up Toby with Pete left and right, and helped Pete carry Toby.

"How does it feel?" Colin looked at Pete and said, "I see you're a little unsteady!" ”

"It's fine!" Pete glanced at Colin and said, "I can do it." You hold me up a little bit in the back. We may be walking a little slowly. ”

"Understood!" Colin said yes and said to John, "Cover shot!" Prepare to cross the river, cover for shooting! ”

Hearing Colin's shouts, not only John, but Kane also increased the intensity of their shots, and so did Howard on the other side of the river. This made the attacking Russians on this side only dodge for a while, and it was difficult to make an effective counterattack.
