Chapter 154: Slackness
"Good. If all goes well, our people will soon be able to reach the southeast side of El Carmen from there. You'd better move northwest now. This will allow you to meet our people as soon as possible. John asked.
"I might have a problem here, sir." Colin said, glancing at the corpses on the ground, and continued, "We have not only the wounded here, but also the bodies of several of the dead. ”
"Killed? Who died? John asked, somewhat surprised.
"It's all Pete and his team who died. Here they were met with a fierce attack. A total of three people were killed in the battle: Jill, Falcao and Ram. Colin said with a slight sigh, looked at Hernandez's body, and said, "In addition to our people, there is also a target, and the target is also dead." In addition, Pitt and Coleman are injured. So it might be a little difficult for us to act. ”
After listening to Colin's report, John took a deep breath and said, "Okay. Then stay where you are and be vigilant. Wait until I arrange for someone to pick you up. That's it. ”
After Colin answered in understanding, John ended the contact. He returned to the verandah and looked outside. I saw that at the intersection ahead, there were still people trying to come to this road under the cover of fire. And there were already more bodies lying there on the road than before, which means that the guerrillas did not stop attacking while he was busy communicating with all sides. To be precise, not only did it not stop, but it seemed to be trying to increase the intensity of the attack, but such an attack was more like attracting their attention than launching a real onslaught.
John turned his head to look to the west, and just then, a Colombian who was shooting at the guerrillas suddenly looked back at John and said, "Sir, someone has entered Mr. Arruas's warehouse." ”
John glanced at the man and immediately came to the man's side, pointing to the AT-4 rocket that was sitting next to him and said, "Give them one shot, and the others are ready to withdraw." ”
The Colombian nodded immediately and quickly picked up the AT-4 rockets on the side, while the others started a burst of heavy fire at each other, while John and Quintero contacted: "Quintero! Let's get ready to get down and take cover! ”
At the same time as Quintero responded, rockets flew off the floor where they were and headed straight for Aruas' warehouse. Barletta, who had just cautiously entered the yard of the warehouse, immediately shouted and searched for concealment, but before the few of them could completely disperse, the rockets exploded in the courtyard.
In an instant, except for Baletta, who was already lying on the ground and hidden, several other figures who entered the courtyard were all overturned to the ground, some directly stopped moving, and some slowly rolled on the ground but failed to stand up immediately.
Barletta did not immediately go up to check on the situation of these people, he immediately looked back at the other person who was still on the fence and shouted: "Cover shooting!" Cover Shot! ”
The shooting was no longer a threat to John, as the two of them left the building as soon as the rockets flew out.
Looking at John, who had already run out of the small building, Quintero and his people immediately started shooting. And the guerrillas don't seem to have the desire to chase after them at all. The cover shooters quickly drew their attention to Quintero, and after a flurry of shots that did little real damage to either side, Barletta led the men to the outside of the building that John had just occupied.
However, he was not in a hurry to enter the house, in fact he knew that the people inside must have left. Otherwise, it would be impossible to let yourself come here so smoothly. The rocket just now was just a greeting before leaving, and it meant nothing more than a warning to those chasing after it, not to get too close.
Barletta glanced at the men who had flanked them from the north side, and after shouting at them to keep them on guard, he cautiously came to the wall near the side of the road. After seeing the position of Quintero who was shooting, he turned his head to look at his side.
He doesn't have night vision devices, so he can't see much in the darkness on this side. But he knew that the people who had just been in this small building must be walking briskly back down this road. If they get out of here easily, the men, who are obviously equipped with night vision devices, will surely find themselves and shoot at themselves. At that time, you will probably have to deal with bullets coming from both sides of the street at the same time.
Barletta naturally wouldn't do such a stupid thing, he is no longer a hot-blooded young man. Although he was also a member of the wizard's direct team that terrified these local lords and local warlords, since the wizard's death, he has become more and more disappointed with the guerrillas over the years. For example, the current inexplicable battle is just that Perez wants to make money. Although I have cooperated with drug dealers in the past, it is only cooperation, and it can be said that I have to make compromises in order to survive and fight. And now? directly became someone else's thug. Perez didn't tell everyone about it, but it was no secret to Barletta, and he had seen too much of it over the years. Otherwise, it would explain why he would go out of his way for a Mexican drug dealer. Of course, some will say that the Yankees are the enemies of the guerrillas. Such words may have been said many years ago, only now the partisans have fallen and have long since fallen. Such words are just deceiving children who do not know the world.
So what he is thinking about now is to be able to save the lives of a few young people he is familiar with as much as possible, and then retire early. It's just that you can't be too negative, or you'll get into trouble. So he quickly retreated, contacting Perez as he retreated.
Perez wasn't really happy with Barletta's actions, and in his opinion the old guy was too careful and slow to act. However, after hearing that they had successfully arrived at the building that the other party had just occupied, he still endured it and did not lose his temper, but said in a calmer tone: "You have to bite them, and you can't let them act at will." Don't let them retreat to Crystal Avenue so easily. You have to attack, launch a fierce attack! ”
"I understand! But I need to attack at the same time. They were retreating under alternate cover. If we had attacked from here alone, they could have continued to retreat after a burst of heavy fire, and it would have been difficult for us to suppress them while firing at the same time. And just now I've lost a lot of men, and their rockets almost killed me. At that time, that thing exploded not far in front of my eyes. They must have been targeting me before, and no one was able to suppress them effectively ... If they ... ”
