Walker smiled ashamedly, "We were close to panicking. We were in a very disadvantageous situation with the wounded, communication was not good, and we were in a very disadvantaged position. When we find a local who we consider to be a non-threatening person, we naturally believe that he can lead us to the right path. What's more, we didn't get far before we were overtaken by the TLB forces. ”

"And then you got into a bitter fight?" I asked.

Walker nodded and then shook his head, "It's worse than a hard fight." The first thing that occurred to us was that we couldn't be trapped in one place and besieged, because we couldn't be sure when reinforcements would come, or even if anyone else would come to our rescue. So we fought and ran, and I and Langdon, and two other people volunteered to be at the back of the line, covering the rest of the group with the wounded first. But after a period of fighting, we were quickly outflanked by each other, and not only were the four of us quickly cut off from the others, but the others were also caught up. ”

"We didn't last long after we were overtaken." Langdon began, "The other two people with us, one was killed and the other was wounded, but after holding on for a while, they also died because of their injuries. ”

"In the end, the two of us, until we ran out of bullets, were surrounded on a hillside. And then we caught it. Then we saw this kid named Ashraf again, and he was also caught by the TLB people. Walker said.

I looked at Ashraf and said, "What about the people who ran with you?" ”

"Ran away. But some were killed. I can't run away... The man who ran with me was hit by a bullet. So I was caught very quickly. Then the TLB fighters said that I was a traitor to MSL and wanted to put me to death. No matter what I say, no matter how I explain it, it is useless. Even the guy named Kadibi didn't say a word for me when he saw me. It's like I'm really some kind of traitor, but I'm not one of them, so how can I be a traitor? Ashraf said.

"Kadibi... You'd want that guy to talk for you? I patted Ashraf with that, "You should use your brain like you did when you made up those lies." That guy, from the moment he saw us, you should have known that he was not only hostile to the Yankees, but also to Qasim and us, including you. ”

"The rest of you? I mean, it's just the two of you in the team? I looked at Walker Road.

"I don't know. I guess someone ran out... Walker sighed helplessly, then he looked up, "You're going to Pakistan?" Do you have any contact tools? ”

"Do you think we look like we have communication tools?" I spread my hands and said, "We can only walk all the way to Pakistan on two feet." I said to Ashraf, "Ask our guide how far we have to go to get into Pakistan." “

As Ashraf began translating, I looked back at Walker and said, "What are your plans?" Come with us to Pakistan? If you don't come with us ... You have to be careful, there are a lot of TLB forces around here. ”

"I know that." Walker nodded, "But I really don't know how we're going to go right now. He looked at Langdon, "What do you think?" Any thoughts? “

Langdon glanced at Walker and shook his head blankly. Walker let out a long sigh again, he looked at me and said, "You see it." The two of us are now poor lost children who can't find their way home. “

At this point, Ashraf spoke up behind me: "He said that if we move forward at our current pace, we will be able to enter the Pakistani side in about three days." But being on that side doesn't mean it's safe, he said. There is a large area in the mountainous area that no one cares about. “

"I understood what he meant. Ask him again, and he knows where the Yankees are around here. Or a stronghold of the coalition forces. "I said to Achraf.

Sadat and the guide both looked a little surprised when they heard Ashraf's translation, and after looking at each other, the guide shook his head at me, but Sadat looked at me and said a few words. Ashraf immediately translated: "He said that if he wanted to find an American stronghold, he would have to go in the direction of the village where he met him, and it was estimated that there would be Americans, but if he went there, he would be far from Pakistan." ”

I nodded, turned to Walker, and told them about Achraf's translation. Walker and Langdon looked at each other and said forget it, it was too dangerous to cross this road, not to mention TLB, they might get lost.

"Just keep following us?" I asked.

Walker nodded helplessly, "It can only be like this." I hope I can meet someone searching for it in the future. If it doesn't work, we'll have to follow you to Pakistan and figure it out when we get there. “

After that, we kept our heads down until it was nearly evening. The guide took us to choose a campsite while there was still light, and it was still a leeward hillside. This time we camped in a more rudimentary way than before, with only a blanket to wear and a blanket to cover.

After stopping, we each had a bite to eat. To be on the safe side, we didn't try to get firewood to make a fire. But I, Walker, and Langdon and I split the time between each and every one of us. After all, the place we are in is still very dangerous, and we still have to be careful. What's more, we took out eight TLBs and rescued three of them, and although we ran away, we couldn't be left behind with the TLBs who wanted to capture us and avenge our comrades.

But the night was peaceful, and with someone like Walker on guard, I was able to get a good night's sleep. The next morning, before the sun had risen, our group set out again. Continued to walk in the direction we were going.

But as we walked near noon, we stopped at a hilltop to get some food to take a quick break. Walker, who was in charge of the sentry, suddenly motioned for us to keep quiet. Then he lowered his body and crouched down, and beckoned to me and Langdon.

I looked at Ashraf, motioned to him to be silent, and told him to pack up the water and food that had been brought out. Then I crouched down and slowly came to Walker's side. Walker pointed to a valley-like stone path below the hill that I had taken on. We had walked a little bit of the road before, but halfway through it the guide led us to change direction and come to the top of the mountain.

Walker pointed down and said, "TLB Armament... “

The loss of contact in Afghanistan has led to operational disadvantages, and the losses have been caused by real events. For example, the most famous, in Afghanistan, the seals' "Operation Red Wings"
