Pete was surprised to hear the news. A platoon of soldiers, protecting such a person? You must know that there are not a few thousand Georgian soldiers in the city at present, and it is still retreating according to Eric's plan in the face of the unfavorable situation of the war, you can imagine the importance of this one.

However, Eric was quite calm, he looked at the translator and said, "Then when will this so-called platoon arrive?" We can't wait long here. ”

"I wasn't told about this. It is estimated that we will have to draw people from the nearest places. Because the air raids are really ... The translator said with a sigh of relief...

Eric nodded, "I understand." We were almost killed by rockets flying down from the sky before we could get here. He sighed and said, "Then I'll go back now, and please let me know if there's any new news." ”

"Okay. Please rest assured and have a good rest. The interpreter sent Eric and Pete out of the house as he spoke.

After walking out of here, Pete whispered, "Are our plans still going on?" I mean to continue to scout early in the morning and then evacuate? ”

"Of course." Eric nodded, "Whoever escorts me, I'll have to take a look first." Who knows what's outside the city? ”

After bringing this good news back to the point, everyone was very happy, no matter what happened tomorrow, it was better to have a platoon of Georgian escorts than to be unfamiliar with the place and still carry the wounded all on their own.

In addition to this news, when they returned, Steve, who had been in a coma, also opened his eyes, although he was still dizzy and couldn't even sit up, but he was finally awake.

"It's finally time to get some rest." Evans immediately relaxed when he heard that he was being escorted by someone who had contacted the Tbilisi side, "My waist is going to break this day. ”

"Don't be too relaxed." Ochoa looked at Evans and said, "I think the Russian attack has just begun. Who knows what the outside will be like when that platoon comes? ”

"Yes. Maybe there will be a lot of Russians in the west as well. Ellie said.

Donovan shook his head and said, "I also want us to get out of here as soon as possible." But now that we have a plan, we have to go according to the plan. What the Russians will do is not something we can control. All we know now is that it will soon be dark, and it will be very troublesome for us to enter the mountains at this time. And we've been running around for a day, and everyone is tired and injured, so hurry up and rest, tomorrow we may really have a hard fight. ”

Eric chuckled at Donovan's words and said, "You can't be too optimistic, but you don't have to be too pessimistic either. As far as I can tell, the Russians are now focusing their attacks from the north to the east, with the south being dominated by air strikes, and no major movements have been found in the west. So before the Russians launch a general offensive, I don't think we need to worry too much. ”

"General attack? Will the timing of the general offensive of the Russians tell you? Morris asked.

"No, it won't." Eric shook his head, "But a battle of this magnitude is not something you can fight wherever you want. Although many of their troops were heading south, they were not yet in position. They are still using air strikes and artillery shelling to deplete the Georgians here, and it is clear from this that the real general offensive is not yet to come. After speaking, he looked at Donovan and said: "Tomorrow we will still follow our previous plan, the four of us will set off to reconnoiter first, we can consider taking the Georgians with us or a few, and then start to evacuate after determining the route." ”

"No problem." Donovan nodded and looked at the others, "Eat something, everyone, and check the equipment again." ”

The air raids did not stop at nightfall, but they were much less intense than during the day. Nearly midnight, the interpreter approached with a team of Georgian soldiers. Eric, who had been tired all day at the moment, had already fallen asleep, and Pete, who was still in charge of guarding, woke Eric, and the first thing Eric did after waking up was to touch the black bag beside him.

"Mr. Eric." The interpreter saw Eric stand up and pointed to a very young Georgian beside him: "This is Ensign Loria. He and his men will be responsible for protecting you out of the city and on your way to Znauri. ”

The man standing next to the interpreter stepped forward and saluted and said in English, "Hello, Mr. Eric. I am Loria, and my men and I have been ordered to escort you out of here to Znauri. ”

Eric glanced at the man and immediately stretched out his hand and smiled, "Hello, Second Lieutenant Loria." Your English is good, you don't seem to have any accent. Eric said, looking a little surprised.

The ensign named Loria smiled and said, "I went to school in the United States... ”

Just as Eric and the Georgian ensign knew each other, Pete looked at the Georgians. The men looked young, at least much younger than the Man-Shark Squad, which made one think that maybe just a few months ago they were ordinary people, with their own lives, but they had been drafted into the army for the needs of war. This reminded Pete of when he first joined the Marine Corps, young men in their twenties, with no experience at all, just following his non-commissioned officers and sergeant major mechanically following orders. In addition to the youth, the most striking thing is the weapons used. They wore camouflage and helmets similar to those of the Russians, but they were carrying M16 rifles on their backs, which made the whole look a little strangely incongruous. In addition to an M16 rifle each, one person carried an M240 machine gun, and several others each carried an M136AT4 anti-tank rocket. As for ammunition, grenades are available to everyone, and they are plentiful.

"Looks like these guys are even better equipped than we are. I feel like we're Georgians. Pete said as he patted the AK-74 he was carrying.

Evans smiled and said, "They still have snipers." However, it is used to put SVD. If we run into these people, it's not easy to deal with. ”

"Not necessarily." Donovan looked at the gang of humans: "These people are very young, and they must not have fought. You could tell from the look in their eyes that some of them were terrified. The highest percentage of casualties on the battlefield is among young people like them. ”

Pete was a little puzzled and said, "Then what does this mean?" To show that they are serious or are they perfunctory? ”

"Reserves, perhaps?" Donovan said, pointing to the military uniforms of these people, "Look at their clothes, although they are a little dirty, they are much better than those Georgians we saw during the day." That is, they did not conduct operations during the day. ”
