Before John could finish speaking, Córdoba and I opened fire on the armed men who were approaching, and the other realized that we were about to leave, and more people got up and began to leave the shelter and speed up. But their attacks weren't vicious enough, and although they were brave, there were always gaps in cover and advance, and their marksmanship in the crossfire wasn't very accurate, which gave our men a chance to get out safely.

Pinto quickly approached us with the men and the guide, and several of them had been shot and collapsed due to the loss of concealment. Still, they continued to push frantically, ignoring the bullets we fired. And I noticed that there was a man behind him with a rifle in one hand and a quick word to the two people next to him, and the two men ran out of the street.

Are they going to outflank us? That's the only thought that strikes me. I immediately looked at John and said, "They're going to outflank us." ”

John shrugged out the bullets in his gun and said, "There won't be too many of them." As he spoke, he glanced at the road next to the backyard where the corpses of several sentinels were lying, and turned to Pinto, who had already withdrawn, and said, "You take the people to withdraw first." Retreat to the houses across the street and prepare to block there. Wait for me to fire first. ”

After Pinto said yes and ran out with someone, John looked at me and said, "Go to the yard." ”

I nodded, turned around and fired two shots and ran into the yard with Códobba, and in a moment John also ran in, crouching under the courtyard wall.

The other party chased quickly, and after a while came to the corner of the courtyard wall and the street where we had just stood. They may not have seen anyone chasing after them, or they may have seen Pinto retreat across the street, shouting and shooting after them.

I listened to the footsteps outside, and about ten people walked over the courtyard wall behind me. John gestured at the grenade and gestured to me. Córdoba and I both nodded, each pulled out a grenade, pulled the safe, and saw John's fingers count down to one, and then suddenly stood up and threw it out of the courtyard wall.

Several violent explosions rang out, the ground under my feet shook violently, and the courtyard wall beside me shook so much that I felt like I was about to fall. Just after the explosion, Pinto and they opened fire. I stood up and shot my gun through the diamond-shaped hole in the courtyard wall through the bricks.

The armed men in the streets were attacked by a round of grenades, followed by crossfire, and a dozen or so people were immediately lost.

John looked out and said, "Withdraw." Leave this to catch up with Ariel them. ”

Just as I was about to step out of the backyard, there was movement at the door of the house leading to the backyard. I immediately turned around and prepared to shoot, but just then, an armed man rushed out and shot me at the courtyard wall next to me. At the same time, John and Córdoba and I opened fire on the door, and two other people were killed in the first-floor passageway.

"Where are you? We've arrived. Hurry up and get closer to me. Ariel's voice rang out in his ears. It seems that he has taken control of the exit of the town.

We ran out of the backyard and got across the street under the cover of Pinto and the others. And Silva's guards estimated that they had suffered a loss, and they did not chase after them easily for a while.

Since they don't chase them, then we'll withdraw. So a dozen of us quickly headed towards the entrance of the town. The town is not big and we quickly saw it at the entrance to the town without any interception. Ariel and his men surrounded Silva in the middle, and when he saw us arriving, he turned around and prepared to withdraw from the town.

And that's when the unexpected happened. Just when I thought I would be able to get out of town, from the road we were passing through the town, there were suddenly gunshots and shouts on my left hand side.

I didn't have time to see what was going on, as the bullets were fired across our ranks, and I instinctively fell to my stomach, a splash of warm liquid on the left side of my face.

I turned my head to look around after I lay down, and saw that the two people walking on the left side of the line had already fallen, and they could not die again. The warm liquid on my face was the blood of one of them. In addition to these two men, I saw that there was another person who was injured, and that was the old guide. He appeared to have been shot in the leg and abdomen, but he was still shooting the worn-out AK-47 in his hand.

"Gypsies. Left, quick! John screamed as he shot.

I wiped the blood from my face and looked to my left, and in the alleys and alleys there were a number of people with weapons, and the way they dressed and shot showed that these people were a group of ordinary local people, with hatred in their eyes, but also full of fear. They were coming at us under the command of some armed men, and one of them seemed to be the one who I thought had been ordered to outflank us, and now it seemed that not only to outflank us, but also to organize the people of these towns to outflank and intercept us. However, some of these people seemed to be melancholy and frightened, and their marksmanship was even worse, otherwise we would probably have been killed or wounded or even killed or even killed in that round of assault.

I pulled the trigger, and the two men who rushed out of the alley were killed and fell. Just as Ariel was about to come to our aid, a group of people like the others in front of us emerged from the alley behind us, shouting and shooting at us, and Silva's guards caught up with us in the direction we had withdrawn.

"Not on the street. Enter the house! Fast! John shouted, causing Cordoba to knock open the door of a house, and everyone retreated around the house, except for the guide, who could not move, but climbed a few meters away from me. And in Ariel's ranks, a young man shouted excitedly at the older guide. And the guide motioned for the man not to come.

"Damn it!" I scolded and turned around as I shot, I was going to pull the old man back, I wasn't going to bother, because doing so would probably not only fail to bring him back, but I myself would die there. But in an instant it occurred to me that this man and the young man in Ariel's team were father and son, and then I thought of my own father. I gritted my teeth and rushed over, grabbing the guide's arm and dragging it on, but the bullet quickly came to me, and the guide was shot in the leg again.

"Gypsies! Cover him! Fast! John's cry came from behind him, "Pinto go and help him." Fast! ”

A dense burst of gunfire rang out behind me, and Pinto quickly came to my side and helped me pull my guide back to the house.

I sat down on the ground and glanced at the guide I had dragged back. There was a long blood streak that stretched down the street, and his clothes and pants were dyed red, but it didn't look fatal, at least not for a while. The other party's bullets came in from the outside from time to time, and the windows of this house had long become decorations, and the things in the house, especially some furnishings, were also beaten to shreds in an instant.

"Gypsy, how are you?" John ran out of bullets and looked at me as he changed the magazine.

I pointed in the direction of Ariel at the entrance of the town, "Is this Silva?" Are you sure you're not mistaken? Are these people so desperate that we are not afraid of us killing him? ”

John laughed as he went up to the hall and said, "They don't want us out of town." Only by intercepting us can they let us go in exchange for their boss. ”

I picked up my gun and glanced out into the street. There are a lot of corpses lying at the exits of the small streets and alleys, these people have very low military qualities, they are actually used as cannon fodder, and they use their lives to intercept us.

"Do you want a counter-charge?" I withdrew my gaze to John.

"Ariel! Help us keep those Silva guards at bay. We used the stun bomb and rushed out. After communicating with Ariel, John said to the people in the house: "Gypsies, you and I and Córdoba will go out first, and the others will take cover, and we will go out after I tell you to retreat." ”

After John finished speaking, Córdoba and I pulled out the shock bombs, and just as we were about to throw them, the guide leaning on the house grabbed my pants and said to me in pain, "I can't go, give me a gun." I'm going to be here to help you stand up to those guys. If you can get out alive, promise me that you must bring my son out alive. ”

Hearing him say this, I looked up at John. John looked at me as well, and after a moment he nodded. I pulled out my pistol and all the pistol magazines and handed them to him, nodding at him in accord to his request.

When he saw that we agreed, he smiled with difficulty, muttered something in Spanish, and slowly moved towards the window.

John crouched down screaming as we threw it out. After the shock bomb exploded, John yelled at Ariel through the communicator, "We're out!" "Then the three of us walked out of the house under the cover of the rest of the house, and kept shooting.

We fought and retreated in the direction of Ariel, and there were many corpses lying in the street. The armed civilians, after paying a lot of casualties, no longer screamed and shot at us, but mostly dodged, and the few who continued to shoot were also hiding behind concealment and raising their guns above their heads and shooting indiscriminately. At the moment they are no longer a threat, they are on the verge of demoralization.

Silva's guards, apparently aware of our intentions after seeing the three of us rushing out of the room, surrounded us to no avail, and they took the initiative to push towards us again, shouting at each other to catch up, although some of them were shot and fell to the ground as soon as they got up. But at this moment, the house we used to temporarily hide from the surprise attack has become a line of defense that is difficult for the other side to easily cross.

John, Códobá, and I quickly approached Ariel and them under the cover of the crowd. We quickly changed the magazine, and John said into the communicator, "Pinto's turn." ”
