Chapter 3: Pete's Highlight Moment (Part II)

Originally, this mission, Pete didn't have much chance to meet Donovan again, after all, each had a specific mission. When the militants were driven out, Pete's mission was effectively over. But fate likes to have all kinds of accidents, and this time it is their opponents who do not want to be wiped out just like that, these people try to fight in a desperate situation, they do not run into the trap, they only see the danger after stepping into it with one foot. Donovan felt that something was wrong, he didn't want to give up, and this operation was an opportunity for him, a rare opportunity to perform. So he made a temporary adjustment, changed the ambush to encirclement and suppression, and took the initiative to attack the group of armed men who had not yet entered the trap.

As the attacked side, of course, these armed men will not be captured, in fact, not only did they not, but they were still thinking of causing some trouble for their powerful opponents, so they took advantage of their familiarity with the local geographical conditions, and while retreating Donovan and others to one village, they mobilized their companions from other places to rush to support. Later I thought about it, their actions were more like luring the enemy with a plan.

Donovan was in trouble as soon as he entered the village. Not only is the street narrow, but there are also many curves, and the houses are one after another, so the view is very poor when you enter the village, and you can't see much at all. And the place where Donovan entered the village was still a relatively low position relative to the center of the village. So a fierce exchange of fire broke out in the village. This was a complete departure from the original plan, making the whole battle more difficult.

This made Pete, who had already entered the state of sitting on the bench and waiting for the end of the game, and soon as more and more militants moved towards the village, a premeditated ambush was turning into a siege by the other side, and Pete's platoon was unexpectedly transferred and quickly exchanged fire with the enemy.

In the small village, Donovan's situation was not too bad, he quickly realized that the relationship between the attack and defense had changed, so he did not let the marines attack indiscriminately, but quickly led the team to leave a relatively low position and capture a relatively high place in the east of the village and hold on there, but armed men kept appearing outside the village, and the outside of the village was relatively open, and from time to time someone from outside the village fired cold shots at Donovan and their hiding place. This made it impossible for Donovan and the others to leave the village easily. This made the battle last a little longer, and the battle continued until the sun went down. The night seemed to give the other side hope, and in the middle of the night, the other side made another move, and they tried to flank Donovan's platoon.

This group of militants is very familiar with the local area, should have received help from the locals, and the fierce fighting for most of the day made them think of countermeasures, so they carried rockets, recoilless guns, mortars and other weapons under the cover of night to launch a fierce attack on the area occupied by Donovan, which made Donovan, who had been fighting fiercely for most of the day, fall into passivity for a while. The first thing to face is the problem of insufficient ammunition caused by long-term combat beyond expectations. And at the same time that Donovan was being flanked, judging from the high-altitude drone reconnaissance, there were other people moving towards Donovan and them at this moment.

So Pete's Marine Platoon received an order to go to reinforcements, and this time the meaning was different from the last time, it became a real support. And it was this support operation that once again allowed Donovan to see Pete's shining point.

At that time, Donovan and his men were exchanging fire with armed men in a village outside the town, and on the outskirts of the village, armed men also attacked Donovan and others from time to time.

In order to save time, they received orders to go directly through the town to the village, but they were confronted by a group of militants just as they left the town.

It's an encounter, but for Pete, it's more like being volleyed. After all, they were riding in a vehicle, and in this war-torn place and in the dark night, they were undoubtedly in the open, and the other side seemed to have a strong purpose and pertinence in this battle, that is, to surround the point and send reinforcements, at least to delay their actions.

In the midst of the dense gunfire, Pete and they did not stop. Because according to previous reconnaissance, they were in an open field at this time. If you stop at this moment, starting to fight back will undoubtedly make your side a target. So Pete and the others continued to walk towards Donovan's town, but they didn't run far, and one of the Humvees walking in front was suddenly hit by explosives, and after a piercing explosion, the Humvee did not disintegrate, but lost control and crashed headlong into a telephone pole on the side of the road.

This forced others to rescue the occupants of the car. After driving a distance, the other vehicles quickly left the road and were ready to get out of the car to start a counterattack, but just as the car stopped, everyone had just started to get out of the car and the team was deployed, the other party took the lead in attacking.

Fortunately, although many of Pete's platoon are new recruits and lack actual combat experience, they are all well-trained. And it has an absolute advantage in weaponry or firepower, so it quickly stabilized after a burst of counterattack and beat the opponent's attack back. And the first to lead people to fight back was Pete Wang. Although he didn't get orders from the squad leader, in this squad, the few comrades who were trapped in the red body last time and retreated were more obedient to Pete's command. So after he got out of the car, he immediately launched a fierce counterattack in the direction of the other party.

Later, Pitt's actions at the time were considered extremely crucial. This largely bought valuable time for their side, and avoided a situation in which the whole team could not coordinate and effectively fight back in a panic and suffered heavy losses.

And the real shining point is yet to come. Just after settling his ground, Pete approached his squad leader and asked for immediate disengagement to continue his journey to reinforce the besieged Donovan. And at this moment, Pete's platoon commander did receive an order urging them to rush to the village as soon as possible, because there, the situation was deteriorating. Originally, his mission was not to fight fiercely with the militants who didn't know who they were, but to come to the aid and get the friendly troops out of here.

But the platoon commander was in a quandary at the moment, because the wounded had not yet been rescued, and there were militants around who could come back at any time, and the situation here was far more complicated than the guys in the command knew about it. Therefore, the platoon commander thought that he could not turn his head and leave so neatly, and he had to come up with appropriate countermeasures.
