Chapter 22: A Warrior and a Martyr (II)

Sasha knew that it was not good, and immediately spoke: "What are you going to do?" You're not going to do these people, are you? ”

"Go." Paul watched Sasha, who was extremely reluctant, leave, and said to Younis, "I can give you a gun." But you'd better help me watch my wounded little brother. You can be a thief and catch a thief, but you might as well forget about fighting. ”

Younis heard Paul's words and slowly withdrew his hand. "What are you going to do?"

Paul smiled and said, "That's our business. All you have to do is take care of yourself and my little brother. If we're all dead, then you'll take that little brother and continue on our way to the border. If you really can't drag him anymore, leave him behind, and you go by yourself. Do you understand? ”

Younis hesitated for a moment and nodded solemnly. He turned and ran under the sandbag. Valery and Pinto and Sasha quickly ran up.

Paul immediately began to assign tasks, "A moment we groped behind their butts. Start with the Humvee they parked outside. Then attack these people from the entrance to this village. Once Pinto's Humvees get the attention of these people, you start sniping at them here, trying to hold them back. If the situation is unfavorable, you immediately retreat and leave here as soon as possible with Younis and Pyatov. Do you get it? ”

"Understood. But Paul, are you taking too much risk by doing this? I asked.

Paul smiled and said, "Then it depends on whether the people who are surrounded have planted it." If they weren't scared yet, they would have cooperated with us when they saw such a scene. In the midst of the chaos, it is impossible to say who is more dangerous than the other. ”

"Okay. I'm here to fight anyway. As long as you know that you can't beat it, just take everyone out with you. I said.

Paul smiled, "It's always been my desire to play against Americans. Ha ha. Come on, everyone! ”

The action began, and we quickly made a detour to the side of the road, as the Humvees were parked here. I looked at the four cars and listened, and some of the doors were still open. Three people were holding guns and standing guard at the three corners of the parking place, the southwest corner, the northwest corner and the northeast corner.

"Gypsy, you're in charge of the northeast corner. Sasha, you're in the northwest corner, I'll deal with the one in the southwest corner. Valery pays attention to the movement in the car, and someone comes out and immediately kills him. Paul commanded.

We each answered, and Paul counted down to three. We all got out of the sandbag, and I took aim at the person I was responsible for and waited for about two seconds. Sasha and I immediately pulled the trigger after Paul's gunshot. The other party was very alert, and my target immediately began to dodge after Paul's gunshot, but no matter how fast the bullet was, the man was shot and fell backwards while dodging. Then Valery's gun went off, and I looked in the direction he was shooting, and one of the men peeked out of the Humvee to shoot, and was killed in the car.

We approached the Humvee quickly, and after checking on those who were not alive, Paul waved us on. At this moment, Pinto's gunfire rang out, and the other party must have noticed the gunfire from behind and someone was coming. Paul motioned for Sasha and Sasha and the four of us to move from both sides in the direction of the village.

We walked around the parking lot and soon the village was presented in front of our eyes. A few people were already running towards us, and quite a few were shooting in the direction of Pinto.

The men who ran over saw Paul and Valery first, and both opened fire almost simultaneously and made dodging movements at the same time. Sasha and I went straight to the scene and pulled the trigger at the person who was shooting. One of the opponents fell to the ground, and the other shot backwards.

The people hiding in the village noticed the change in the situation outside, and suddenly there was a burst of gunfire and shouts. The battle in the village suddenly became fierce. At the same time, more people are coming towards us.

"Onward! Advance! Paul shouted.

Sasha and I attacked under the cover of Paul and Valery, and the other side seemed to have no idea what we were doing, and their intentions were a little unclear, they wanted to counterattack us, and they wanted to surround the villagers, and they were very interested in Pinto, the sniper

Scruple.

Just as they hesitated, Paul suddenly shouted, "Ula! "Rushed forward. As if they understood his shout, the people of the village also appeared and rushed out. The men, some dressed in civilian clothes and some in shabby and dusty camouflage, rushed at the mercenaries as they screamed. Although some of them were shot and fell to the ground from time to time, the others not only did not stop, but increased their pace and attacked as they fired.

The mercenaries blew them up with grenades, but after the grenades exploded, the counterparty rushed in front of them. The two sides exchanged strafing fire at close range before falling to the ground together. But the people in the village were still fighting back frantically, but the mercenaries seemed to be powerless, began to shrink, and began to retreat.

"Ulla!" Valery screamed and rushed out. Paul was beside him, knocking over a man who was about to shoot as he continued to shoot.

"It's ****** crazy." Sasha scolded and stood up and rushed out, "Gypsy! Blow them up with grenades! ”

I put my gun down, pulled out two grenades, and threw them directly at each other under the cover of the three of them. One grenade was thrown behind the men who were blocking us, and one was in front of them to the left. The one in front of the left didn't do much damage, while the one that was thrown at the rear turned the people who blew them up on their backs.

The good times didn't last long, and the opponent quickly completed the contraction of the formation. They formed an arc against those of us who attacked them, not far from the entrance of the village. Those on the periphery counterattacked them, while those in the arc began to attack outwards using grenades or grenade reflectors.

The opponent showed the quality they should have at the moment, and their counter-fire was very effective and rhythmic. Paul and Valery, who were still screaming for the charge just now, were suppressed and unable to move. Sasha and I were even worse, after the first round of attacks, the opponent's grenade launcher attacked us. Two in a row exploded on either side of us. Sasha was pushed out by the air wave caused by the explosion and fell to the ground without moving.

I lay on the ground and didn't move, I just took out the grenade and threw it slightly sideways at the other party. However, this grenade probably didn't cause any trouble to the other party. Because the other party only stopped shooting for a while, and then started shooting again. Paul and Valery fought back desperately, but the effect was not good, and the Iraqis in the village were temporarily suppressed and lost their momentum. The situation is getting worse and worse.

The mercenaries soon noticed our weakness and immediately moved to try to start a counteroffensive. I glanced at Sasha, who was lying there still unresponsive, and then at Paul and Valery. These two people gave me the feeling that they were going to fight hard, and there was no movement to retreat.

I picked up my gun and prepared to start fighting hard. Just as the opponent once again spread out and pushed the team out for some distance, suddenly a gunshot came from the direction of Pinto's ambush, and one of the opponent's team fell to the ground. They immediately realized that the sniper was still there and immediately prepared to retreat. It seems that they are a dead end for Pinto there, otherwise Pinto wouldn't have shot them for so long.

"Gypsies! Push forward! Push forward! Paul is ready to seize the other party's stage of wanting to advance and retreat to organize a counterattack.

"Forward!" I yelled in response, and immediately got up on my knees and made a short point towards a guy who was shooting at Paul. The man was shot and fell backwards. I saw the Iraqis in the village rush out again at this moment. They began screaming again and fired their guns at the mercenaries.

The mercenaries quickly stabilized their formation and began to fight back, grenades and grenades flying towards the Iraqis who rushed towards them, and the explosion kicked up a thick cloud of dust. But soon bullets flew out of the dust or rushed straight out of the person who was shooting.

"Ulla!" Paul shouted and led Valery to push forward again.

I quickly ran out of ammunition from my rifle, and it was too late to change the magazine. I pulled out my pistol and continued to fire at the other side. The other side was still doing their job at the moment, and someone was relying on the defense to shoot and fire grenades at Pinto's hiding place.

I shot again and again and came to Sasha's side, his gun already tossed aside. The bullets in the pistol were quickly depleted as well. I looked at Paul and shouted, "Cover shot!" Cover! ”

Paul, they must have heard my screams, and he and Valery continued to shoot at each other. I took out Sasha's grenade and threw it, and the other party shrank behind a broken wall, and I threw three in a row, one after the other. After the grenades exploded, I picked up Sasha's AK-74 rifle and shouted, "Forward!" Advance! Advance! ”

I pushed forward quickly, and the dust from the explosion quickly cleared. I saw that the Iraqis had already rushed into the formation of this group of mercenaries, and although some of them were shot, soon some bullets hit the mercenaries who were still shooting before. The other side is finished, some have already begun to surrender, and some are killed while laying down their arms. Some continued to hold their guns but did not continue to shoot.

The Iraqis quickly surrounded the few surviving mercenaries. I probably counted four or five more. The Iraqis looked at us, and they saw that we were not natives or that we were not Iraqis, but they did not appear surprised. One of them said something to me, and I didn't understand and looked directly at Paul.

Paul limped up at the moment, and Valery had already run to Sasha's side to check on his injuries. Paul spoke to the Iraqi man in English, and when he didn't think it would work, he looked at me and said, "Get Eunice." ”

"Yes." I said yes and walked out. As I walked up to Sasha, I looked at Valery and asked, "How is he?" ”

"And the tone. I guess I was stunned by the explosion, but there seems to be shrapnel on my body. Valery said worriedly.

I didn't say anything and ran straight to Eunice. Not far after I ran out, I saw Pinto walking down from the sandbag with his face covered in blood.

"Seriously?" I asked.

"It's not serious. It almost killed me. These people are very powerful, and there are people who are always looking for and suppressing me. The grenade almost killed me several times. How's our guy?" Pinto said.

"Sasha is not very good. Come with me to get Eunice. "I said that together with Pinto found Younis, who was still standing by Pyatov. It was noticeably easier to see the two of us.

"Looks like you've got it. The gunfire has stopped for a while, if you don't come again. I'm going to take him out here. Younis said.

"Don't talk nonsense. Paul wants you to come over. We don't understand the words of those Iraqis. I said and motioned for Pinto to lift Pyatov with me.

When we returned to the village, Sasha had been moved to the place where the Hummer was parked. Medical supplies appear to have been found from the Humvee, and at this moment an Iraqi is helping Sasha with his injuries.

Younis saw the Iraqis greet and communicate directly with the Iraqis in Arabic. After a while of conversation, Younis came up to us, "They're not real soldiers. Most of them are ordinary people. As he spoke, Younis gestured to the man who was doing Sasha's work, "That man was a doctor before the war began. ””

Paul smiled bitterly and said, "I can see that they can't fight." But they're all brave, they're trading their lives for their lives."

"When a country is ruined and a family is destroyed, everyone is a warrior." Younis gave Paul a serious look and said, after speaking, he pointed to the corpses of the Iraqis who were being carried out and laid out: "And those are not only soldiers, but also martyrs." ”
