I looked at the hillside, which was about three or four hundred meters away from us, and it looked quite steep. I motioned for everyone to start resting, and asked Saeed to arrange for men to start guarding.

"Ask him when his men will arrive." I looked at Ahmed.

Sabah, who had already sat down, listened to Ahmed's words, looked at the sky, and said something. Ahmed translated: "I guess it's in the evening, and his people should come after dark." If not, it will be there the next day, or in the morning. ”

I nodded, "So we can't attack right away today?" “

Sabah smiled after listening to Ahmed's explanation, then shook his head and said something. Ahmet whispered, "He said why did you suddenly become more anxious than him?" He said that it would be better for us to go and investigate first, to see what the village is like and how to fight. Wouldn't it be nice to do it when his people arrived? “

I nodded, and after a quick sip of water, I looked at the gardener and Said, "Come with me over and have a look." I looked at Sabah after speaking, "Do you want to go over together?" “

Sabah listened to Ahmed's words and stood up again from the ground. The way he got up could be seen that the old guy was already very tired, and after standing up with great difficulty, he seemed to be unable to straighten his waist, and only after walking a few steps did he slowly straighten up.

I looked at him and said, "With all due respect, you're not in good health like this. It's long overdue to run around like this. “

Ahmed listened to my words and looked at me, as if he felt that such words were not good to say to Sabah, after all, for a person who considers himself a warrior and a fighter, to say that he is not in good health is in a sense demeaning or even insulting. I glanced at Ahmed and said, "Translate it to him, and translate it directly." “

After hearing Ahmed's words, Sabah did not show any displeasure, but smiled. He watched as I led us forward a few steps before beckoning to Ahmed and whispering something in Ahmed's ear, who was approaching him.

Ahmed unconsciously looked at the place where the others were sitting and resting, and then he whispered to me, "He said that someone has to insist. You can't all be like Qasim. “

Hearing him say that, I glanced at Sabah, the old guy though not a good man. But it's much more realm than the one sitting in the back. I nodded and whispered, "Then I take the liberty of saying that it is difficult for you to beat the Yankees." I'm not talking nonsense, I've been to other countries that have been defeated by the Yankees, and the difference in power is too great for a chance. “

Al-Sabah, after listening to Ahmed, slowed down, but did not stop. My words seemed to make him feel depressed for a moment, and he looked ahead and was silent for a moment before whispering a word.

Ahmed said: "He said that no matter what, there must be a fight. “

Hearing him say that, I don't talk nonsense anymore. We soon came to the front of the hill and climbed up the hill with Sabah. After reaching the hillside, I saw a village below the hillside.

We were now on the north side of the village, and when we looked down from a high vantage point, we could see that the village was a little larger than the two we had been to before. From here to the village, we had to go down the hillside, but on that side the slope was much gentler, and there were quite a few trees growing on the gentle slope, and the distance from here to the village was about 400 meters. The village is flanked by gently descending slopes that extend from us, reaching the south side of the village and gradually leveling with the height of the village.

Sabah pointed to the distant back of the village, where the silhouette could be faintly seen, and told us that it was where we were going. Although it can be seen here, it is much farther than it seems.

I naturally know this truth, so what does the old saying say? Isn't that what "looking at the mountain and running a dead horse" is talking about? But there is no need to think about how to go after that, the most important thing is to look at the village in front of you first.

So I withdrew my gaze and looked at the village. In this village, it can be seen that the people in the village have all returned to the village at this moment. And there are clearly armed men stationed in the villages. In the village, some people with guns and camouflage were walking. I took the gardener's scope and looked around the village, and judging by the looks and weapons of these people, the people I saw now were probably from the Northern Alliance, as if they were conducting routine patrols and checking that each household had brought back unfamiliar faces.

I counted the approximate number of people, and in terms of numbers, there were about twenty people in the group. They are scattered all over the village, and some are sentry around the village. Just as I was about to withdraw my gaze, I noticed a man with a gun sitting under a courtyard wall, a man with a gun and dressed in a way that was markedly different from those of the Northern Alliance Afghans. It looks like a European. And beside him there should still be his companion, but from my angle I can only see a small part of his companion, the rest is blocked by a house. I quickly looked around these people, this is a courtyard, and these people are supposed to be resting in this courtyard, which means that there are definitely more than just these two people here.

I retracted my scope, handed it to Said, who was beside me, and pointed in the direction of the courtyard, "Look, it's almost two o'clock, and there's a courtyard on the left side of the village." Anyone there is resting, see? ”

Said looked in the direction I was pointing, and after a moment he nodded and whispered, "See." These are not Afghans, they look white Europeans... ”

"Yes." I nodded, "Can you tell what kind of troops it is?" Americans, or British? ”

Said looked at it and said, "I can't see it. There are no obvious signs. But I feel like they're going to be tough to deal with. ”

"Why do you say that?" I asked.

Said looked at it and said, "These people can appear here, and the fewer people there are, the more difficult it is." There were about twenty Afghans here, all Afghans doing things, and the gang was resting, looking like they had just returned. Said retracted his scope and said, "That means this group must have just finished some kind of operation around to get here." It's likely to be a patrol and search mission, and I don't think it's an ordinary team that can perform such a mission. ”

I nodded and took the scope. Said is right, this team should be difficult to deal with. I handed Sabah the scope and told him where to look. The old guy looked at it, handed me the scope, and whispered. Ahmed immediately said: "He said that when his men arrived, with the people and equipment they brought, it should not be a problem to take this small village quickly." ”

The second update...
