The sound of machine-gun fire showed that the enemy was firing heavily, which was undoubtedly an onslaught. And what about the Yankees? They're fighting back, too. As for the rest of the convoy, most of the armed guards were fighting back, while the drivers were running and others were treating their teammates who had been shot.

As we approached the rear of the convoy, a couple of Yankees saw us, presumably unaware of our attire and behavior, and after a moment of froze they thought we were afraid of death and wanted to flee, and they yelled at us, as if to stop us and go back.

Of course we wouldn't stop, and as I ran, I looked back at the Yankees, who were soon no longer at us. In the middle of the convoy, that is, to the southeast of the car we were riding, they fired directly at the Humvee that came from the rear of the convoy to support, only to see that the American operating the machine gun in the car was shot and fell back into the car.

"The convoy is over!" Just as I was saying this, a rocket flew out again and hit the truck in front of the one we were riding. I think the rocket must have been aimed at the Humvee, because the Humvee was right next to it.

We quickly moved away from the convoy and followed the guide all the way to the northeast, and after about ten minutes of running in one breath, the guide slowly slowed down. And judging by the gunfire behind him, the battle there is still raging. I looked at Ahmed, who was still walking forward, and now it was exactly as he said, the other party's attack was really not the kind that would give up easily, shoot a few shots and run.

We slowed down with the guide, but we didn't stop. We didn't get until the sun went down and it was completely dark, and then the guide took us to a low-lying stop away from the road.

"Rest. Take a break... The guide sat down panting as he spoke.

I looked around, and it was pitch black, but the moon and stars in the sky were bright because of the clear weather.

"Where is this?" I asked.

The guide, Ahmed, took out his water bag and poured a sip of water, then handed it to his companion and looked at me and said, "To the northeast of Gargharib. We ran back a bit. ”

"How far are we from where we're going?" I then asked.

Ahmed sneered and said, "Kadiran? Far away... If we go there, we'll have to walk for a long, long time. If you want to go there, you have to have transportation, otherwise you won't be able to keep the food you have with you. “

"Shouldn't we go back and see? Maybe the Yankees have beaten those guys back? Can we continue to follow the convoy? Lukovic said.

Ahmet smiled and didn't speak, but pulled out his bread and nibbled on it. I thought about Lukovic and others who also wanted to know what to do next: "We shouldn't be able to go back." Bartolov should have died, and as we were leaving, I saw him blown away by the explosion. ”

"I saw it too." Salim spoke.

"Even if he hadn't been kicked out, you wouldn't have been able to run back." Ahmed said, "Didn't you notice that the other party was sabotaging the vehicle? I'm telling you that they're going to try to kill the people there first, and if they don't, they're going to destroy the delivery vehicles, they're not stupid, they know they're carrying supplies against them. If they can't defeat it quickly, they will choose to destroy these vehicles and run away. ”

"Can those guys beat the Yankees?" Lukovic asked, looking curious.

Ahmed shook his head, "As long as they can't take it for a while, then they will soon choose to destroy the vehicle and leave." The most powerful thing about the Yankees is that they can quickly find helpers to support themselves, and if they don't leave quickly, they will be dragged by the Yankees and then eliminated. So as long as those Yankees themselves are not messy and their luck is not too bad, it should be difficult for those people to beat the Yankees, but it is estimated that their losses will not be small. ”

"Okay. Now is not the time for us to care about the Yankees, we should care about ourselves. Said said depressedly.

I looked at Ahmed, "What do we do now?" Spend the night here or continue walking under the cover of night? ”

Ahmed pointed at Lukovich, "Don't you need to get in touch with that old fellow?" Is the satellite phone he was carrying a toy? ”

After he reminded me of what the old guy had told me that night, he would contact me, and it should be tonight. I looked at Luković, "Turn the phone on." “

"We're here for a little rest. Eat something and drink some water. We'll move on when you're done talking. It's actually safer to walk at night, and in my opinion it's much safer to walk in this place than on the road in a car. Ahmed said.

Since Ahmed said so, I naturally wanted to listen to him, not only because this guy never missed it, even the old guy who had always been conceited asked me to listen to him more, but more importantly, I had no other choice at the moment.

After eight o'clock, the satellite phone Lukovich was holding moved, and he picked it up and handed it to me shortly after.

I took the phone, and the old guy's voice quickly came from the other side of the phone, "Let me guess, the phone was dialed in one click, I guess you didn't arrive smoothly, did you?" “

"Yes. Not at all. We were attacked halfway, Bartorov died, and we took advantage of the chaos to run. I'm in contact with you right now in the wilderness. But I'm glad to hear you, it seems like you're doing well there? I asked.

"What about Ahmed? Is he okay? The old fellow asked.

I glanced at Ahmed, "He's fine. He ran out with us. “

"It's good that he's here. Give him the phone and I'll talk to him. “

So I stood up and walked over to Ahmed and handed him the phone. Ahmed took the phone and said, "We have just entered Uruzgan, and we are still far from Kajiran, but we are closer to Gargarib, but the roads in this area are not easy to walk and are not safe. After he finished speaking, the old guy across from him spoke up, and then he handed me the phone back, "He's going to talk to you." “

I took the phone, and the old guy said to me, "I've already told Ahmed." He will take you to Ghalgarib, and I will contact those who will answer you and ask them to come to you. I'll be in touch with you again tomorrow night. I'll tell you what's next when the time comes. “

The first update... Have a great weekend everyone!
