This time, Semolov was much more cautious than before. He didn't let all the people he brought get out of the car and get ready to attack. Although it seemed to him that going further and further would not be an easy thing for the Yankees, the more likely they were to reach the actual crossing of the river the further they went. But in the midst of the recent lesson, he must be careful not to fall for the other side again, after all, if he suffers heavy losses this time, the Abkhazians will inevitably lose patience, and they will not do more to do more in this matter, then he will be very passive. You must know that Semolov does not want to bring heavy losses to the people he brings, because in his opinion, he is not and should not be a fighter who charges into battle and blocks the eye, and he does things more with his brain than brute force, which is also an important reason why he does not want to carry out the mission with Achraf. To put it bluntly, he doesn't just have a dispute with Ivan, he doesn't think much of Ashraf and people like him.

So he needs to be sure, that is, Chemov needs more observation. Although the men of the 74th Division and the GRU led by Sitkov had come to him, this only made him more cautious, and this time he was only going to do it after the Yankees had actually begun to cross the river.

So he asked Chemov to continue to watch, and the people he brought with him didn't even get out of the car, and everyone was quietly on standby in the car, looking ready to set off again.

On the Yankees' side, John's words cheered everyone up again, and they quickly followed John south and came to the bend in the river.

Here, as planned, Toby and the three men broke away from the group and quickly moved forward towards the river, and when they reached the river, they lay quietly under a bush by the river. At the same time, Colin and Pete quickly picked up speed and quickly moved west after breaking away from the group, while the rest of the others, led by John, slowed down again and leaned towards the river after exiting the bend.

Chemov and the others, who followed behind them and did not dare to get too close, failed to notice Pete's small movements. The few men that Chemov had brought with him walked over under the watchful eye of Toby and his men. Pete and Colin quickly walked towards the west side of the woods after breaking away from the group, and after walking a distance of about eight hundred meters, Pete and Colin vaguely heard movement from the front.

After hearing the movement, Pete did not dare to continue walking. After listening carefully, he pointed to the northwest direction and whispered to Colin beside him, "Listen to the sound like it's coming from that direction." ”

Colin nodded slightly, "They seem to have been following us all the time. ”

"Do you want to put a drone here?" Pete asked.

Colin looked back, looked up at the sky and said, "I'll step back a bit." There's a bush in the back, and I'll go there. ”

"I'm going northwest for a while." Pete said as he got up again and walked out in a northwest direction.

After a while, Colin released the drone and slowly flew above the woods. After confirming that it was higher than the woods and that there were no obstacles around, it slowly flew out towards the west side. After flying two hundred meters, Colin saw the road below the woods from the controller's screen. Then, after looking around, he immediately reported back to John.

After receiving Colin's report, John immediately slowed down and leaned towards the river again. When he came to a riverbank, he motioned for everyone to stop.

Chemov, who was following them, picked up his spirits as soon as they slowed down. He knew that the Yankees in front of him must have known that they had been following them all along, and that they were probably always thinking about how to kill him. So after finding that the other party had slowed down again, he also quickly stopped together, kept his distance, and watched these people in front of him slowly move towards the river.

What are they trying to do? Chemov looked back and forth at where he was now, thinking about the other man's intentions. To be honest, he really wanted to get out of here at the moment, he didn't want to do this damn task at all. Walking through the dark woods always made him feel terrible, and it was getting stronger.

"Maybe they're leaving Abkhazia." Chemov muttered after looking around.

A man behind him heard Chemov's muttering and whispered, "Will it be another trap for them to lean towards the river again?" ”

"Possibly." Chemov nodded, but then he added, "But the river here is bending. There may be a good place to cross the river. And it was already several kilometers away from the site of the previous firefight. They can't keep running like this, can they? ”

"So what are we going to do?" The man behind him continued to ask.

Chemov glanced at the west side of the woods and said, "I'll report to Semolov right away." He's up to him here. What we have to do is to report what we see as completely as possible. After saying that, Chemov picked up the radio he had with him, and contacted Semolov again.

In fact, at this moment, Semolov is eagerly waiting for news from Chemov, to be precise, Semolov, who has been in a relatively safe position, is the most anxious person. Because at this moment, compared to the other party, there are not many cards in his hand, and he has even used them all. For the other party, it is not difficult to guess what means they can still use. And he didn't know anything about what arrangements the other party had after that. Will they have arranged a large number of Georgians on the Georgian side at the site of the river crossing? If that's the case, would it still be useful to do it yourself while they're crossing the river? Could it be that a boat has already been arranged there? Or have someone already shipped over and are waiting for the arrival of these Yankees? These questions gave Semolov a lot of headaches, and the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. Obviously, in his opinion, the longer and longer time is giving the other party the opportunity to make changes in their favor, and there is nothing he can do.

So after hearing Chemov's report that the Yankees were heading towards the river again, he immediately said, "Are you sure? Could they be booby-trapping you? ”

"I don't know." Chemov looked at the woods in front of him, where there was no Yankee in front of him, and said, "But this time they were very careful. We've just passed a bend in the river. I think they were going to do something there after going through this corner. Because from my point of view, it is very likely that the patrol boat coming from the river will not be able to see what is happening outside the curve until it has completely passed the curve. ”
