Chapter 16: The Purpose of the Gangs (I)
I glanced at Yugovich, who said, "Just contacted." Things are moving in the direction we expected. It is said that the two guys went to war in Kosovo, but they fell into passivity. The exact situation is unclear, but Kostic told us to try our best to save the team of the two people not far away, and if we really can't, we must contain the enemy here. ”
I listened to Yugovich's words and smiled bitterly, and then said with some anger: "Didn't you tell him that this is probably a trap for the other party against all of us?" And who are we fighting ****** war? Ordinary bandits have such combat effectiveness? Or are your bandits here specially trained and experienced? ”
The old fellow's face was ugly, and he looked at the people around him who were looking at him, and after a long sigh, he said, "I think this should be the earl's man." ”
"Earl? What Earl? Milk asked impatiently, "Uncle, please make your words clearer." We've only been here for a few days, and the tour group hasn't had time to let go of the fun. ”
"The Count is the nickname of a gang leader. He is an Albanian, and many of his men are experienced Albanian soldiers, and he has been hiring soldiers from all ethnic groups who can be hired. He is also a thorn in our side here, and he has planned actions against him before, but for some reason it has not been implemented, so I didn't expect him to do it to us first this time. Jugovic said.
"Who is it that attacked Petrovich in the planned ambush? Is it also the Earl's man? Milk asked.
"It's not. As far as I know. The Count's team was about three or four hundred men, and this should be his full strength. It was someone else who attacked Petrovich and Ivankovic. ”
"Then you mean that the bandits have suddenly joined forces with the Albanians to encircle and suppress you?" Milk continued.
Yugovic shook his head, "I don't know. However, the gangs have no interests and will not do it. There will be no onslaught like today. It's weird, and I've been thinking about it yet. ”
I waved my hand and said, "Don't think about those useless things." I said and looked at my uncle, "Uncle, we are not stupid, from yesterday until now we can see that you know more about this place than anyone else. But why aren't you valued by your leaders? Why don't they ask your opinion? ”
Yugovich smiled bitterly and said, "Distrustful." They trust Keqiman more, but I don't trust Keqiman very much. ”
"Why don't I trust you? And why do you trust Ke Qiman? Uncle, are you like us who only defected to them in the past two days? Milk asked.
Yugovich shook his head with a smile, and then said with a bit of bitterness: "I used to be a bandit." With that, he looked at us to see how we reacted.
"Uncle, go on. Don't look at us like that. Gangs are nothing, we used to help the Chechens fight the Russians. Milk said.
When Yugovich heard Milk's words, he was stunned at first, then seemed relaxed, and said: "Yugoslavia is finished. Everyone has to find their own way out, no matter what, to support themselves, right? But what would I do? I don't know anything but fight with a gun. Although I was tired of the civil war, I used to want to fight a good fight with the Americans. Not this kind of bombardment by the other side in various ways, but face to face, in the woods, in the mountains, in the city. However, there was no chance. We are no match for those in the West. An old comrade-in-arms of mine approached me and pulled me along to do something. At first, it was just smuggling something on the border, but then slowly several smuggling gangs joined forces, and they became a bandit gang more and more, and the smuggled things became more and more. I don't know what to say, it's getting worse and worse. This gang has become a thorn in the side of many people, and there are more and more internal contradictions. As a result, one day, insiders united with outsiders to bring the gang to life. I had no job, and after spending some time at home, I watched a lot of young people who wanted to do something for their people, and they wanted to fight their enemies. I got to know a group of young people who joined the leadership team, and then you saw them pull me in. ”
I glanced at Milk, the old man's words were not very credible, too general, half-truths at best. Judging by Milk's expression, he didn't believe it either. But Yugovic said himself
It's true that I've been a bandit before, and no one wants to throw dirty water on themselves. Since he is familiar with this place, it will be fine, and what we need is someone who is familiar with this place and can give reasonable advice.
"Will this Earl join the rest of the gang here?" I asked.
Yugovic thought for a moment and said: "It's possible. The Count is still very powerful on the border. It's not difficult to gather some people to do things together. And what the leader told me was that there were five or six hundred people here, and if the intelligence error was not large, then there must be other people involved. ”
"If the besieged people can't hold out, how long do you think they can hold on?" Milk asked.
Yugovic shook his head, "I don't know. If those two guys had pulled the team out and fought the Earl and fought to the death, neither of them would have been the Earl's opponents. But now it's not that simple, I don't know what the other side is trying to do, which side is their focus. Whether it's going to surround the two guys for reinforcements or drag it down so that the others can deal with our main team Petrovic and Ivankovic. If it's a delay, then these two guys' men occupy the barracks, as long as they don't stay too stupid for a week, it should be okay, but if the target of elimination is them, it's hard to say. Because the other side may continue to increase troops and continue to attack. ”
"If that's the case, we'll need to get out of here as soon as possible." Milk said.
I thought for a moment and waved my hand, "It shouldn't be here." If it is really here, the other party will not attack so fiercely, and surround us first, anyway, we and the two who are surrounded in the barracks are divided and surrounded, and we can gather troops to eat them one by one. Kill the barracks first, and slowly wear us down. ”
"There's some truth to what you're saying. But I'm still worried. Now there is too little information, and I don't know which side the other side is targeting. Milk said and looked at Yugovich and said, "What will happen if these two people's teams are defeated or wiped out?" ”
"As a result, I have thought about it before. But in reality, there isn't much practical benefit other than the gangsters being able to control an area. Although we want to deal with the earl, this has not been implemented, and there is no time to settle the enmity. Yugovic said strangely.
"Why is that? This Albanian gang suddenly remembered the national righteousness? Milk said half-jokingly.
Yugovic smiled and said: "I would advise the leadership to let him not enter Kosovo." Ke Qiman's people should be brought over here, but I still say the same thing, I don't trust this person. ”
"We should get out of here. At least wait until the situation is clear. I said.
Yugovich shook his head and said, "You can." But I have to go to Kosovo as soon as I leave. I'm afraid there's an even bigger trap there. I had to think about it. ”
"What can you go about? With a dozen or so of your men? Milk said, glancing at me, and said, "Let's get out of here first." Uncle, you still have to think about our route, the manpower and supplies that can be summoned when we leave here, and the placement of the wounded. As for who to support, let's leave it to think about it after these things are done. ”
As soon as Milk's voice fell, the oil bottle turned his head and said, "Everyone." The other party is moving! ”
"It's my turn. Drag the oil bottle to replace all your people, and you take the time to rest. Milk said as he waved his hand to the side and led the man up.
