Suddenly, someone pulled me up and said, "Hurry up!" Pulsic stood beside me and took my arm. That's when I realized that Bilsa had just been distracted.

I stood up, threw away my rifle, and climbed straight up the embankment, Milk and Yugovich led the people not to shoot at the opposite embankment and fire grenades, the other side also shot at the people who were afraid of the embankment, but those of us who were climbing could no longer care about fighting back, and the return fire was only to increase the chance of being hit by the other party.

The oil bottle climbed up the embankment before me, and immediately after going up, he took the gun off his back and started shooting at the opposite side. I climbed up, turned around and pulled Pulsic up, and then dragged the gardener up, because the gardener was injured, and the injured part of the right shoulder was supposed to be the right shoulder.

"Are they all up? Hurry back first. Milk's figure came from behind him.

I looked at the corpses lying by the river and said, "All up." Let's go! ”

So, under the cover of Milk and Yugovich, we quickly continued to retreat in the direction of the border line with the previously wounded captain. About five minutes later, Milk and Yugovich came up with people, and Milk ran up to me and breathed a sigh of relief, "I can finally catch my breath." ”

Although I still feel that I am not in good shape at the moment, I do want to rest, not only a little poor in physical fitness, but also a little emotionally lost, I have been fighting since I came here, this operation is very difficult and even tragic, look at the people I brought so far there are not many people left, plus Milk and I are not enough ten. I suddenly had the same feeling as when I was in Chechnya, the strange feeling of being war-weary, tired, and full of inexplicable hatred for all the enemies and wanting to kill them all. I need to take a break and adjust my emotions so that I can catch my breath.

"Then take a break?" I looked around.

When Milk saw me say this, he turned to look at everyone and raised his hand, "Stop!" Rest in place for five minutes. ”

When the line stopped, I sat down on the ground, and Milk looked at me and said, "What? There's something wrong with the way you look. ”

"Give me a cigarette." I sighed and spoke.

Milk said as he pulled it out, "What about your own?" ”

I pointed to myself, "Do I have you to smoke like this?" Is it really a hookah? ”

Milk smiled and handed it to me, and just as we had only taken two puffs, there was a "buzzing" sound from Milk.

"It's a phone." Milk said as he reached for the phone, "That phone you gave me earlier." ”

I immediately felt that the situation was not good, from the moment I heard the "buzzing" sound, I felt bad, and at the moment my body was still wet and a little cold and cold.

Milk took out his phone and handed it to me, I took the phone and put it in my ear, and Zhao Yi's voice came from the moment it was connected, "Hey, brother." There is a situation on the border line, a group of armed men have appeared, and the target you want to protect has not appeared, so it is estimated that they are hiding somewhere and dare not move. ”

"How many people are there on the other side? What outfit? How far is it from the border? I asked.

Zhao Yi quickly replied: "The equipment of the Yankees is all conventional light weapons, and I can't tell which country it is, but the number of people is about thirty." It is estimated that there is a distance of two kilometers from the border. ”

When I heard this description, I was almost certain that these thirty men should be from the Eastern Battalion, and it seemed that the last one without beard and eyebrows was still blocking the way across the border before us.

"You take your people and hide them, don't move, don't let these people find out that you are waiting for someone. But you and your men should be ready to fight, and wait for my next command. I said.

"Understood!" Zhao Yi replied.

I hung up, and Milk immediately looked at me and said, "What did you say?" Will you be able to communicate in the local lingua franca in the future? ”

I put the phone in my pants pocket, "Do you still talk to my fellow countryman in a foreign language?" Am I having a bad head? What he brought from his side was bad news. About thirty men blocked the crossing road, presumably from the description of the Oriental Battalion. ”

Milk seemed to be mentally prepared, and he glanced at the others who were still resting, "What about the fugitive guy?" Did you cross the border? ”

"Nope." I shook my head, "Zhao Yi said that he didn't see that guy, and said that he may have found someone blocking and hiding." ”

"We're not in a good place right now. There was a lot of loss of manpower, and there were thirty men on the other side waiting for us to break through the border, which was quite unfavorable to us. Milk said.

I nodded, took a hard puff on my cigarette, and said, "Hurry up." We're going to rush over anyway, and the pursuers behind us must be trying to find a way to keep chasing us. ”

"Then do it. There's nothing else to do anyway. Milk gritted his teeth and said.

I looked at everyone and quickly explained the situation, everyone seemed relatively calm after hearing the news, after all, they were all people who had escaped death, and they were not so easily frightened, which made me very satisfied, but at the same time I felt a pity. If these people are organized and trained well, coupled with strong intelligence support and weapons and equipment, then these people will be a very strong team, but it is a pity that now they can only fight for their lives in this unfavorable situation where there is interception in front and pursuers in the back.

"Everyone, even out the ammunition. Fast. As I spoke, I took the two magazines and two grenades that Milke had handed me, and that those of us who had crossed the river had thrown a lot of things, and that we had to get our ammunition ready before we had to fight.

After continuing along the road for about three or four kilometers, a burst of gunfire suddenly came from ahead. The gunfire was about a kilometer or two away from us, and it certainly wasn't attacking us. Just as we were about to take out the phone and ask Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi called the phone first.

"Hey. Elder brother. The other party seemed to have discovered the target and sent someone over to arrest it. Where are you now? Zhao Yi asked.

"We have heard gunshots, and from the distance, it is about a kilometer away from where the guns are. It should be close to the border. I said.

"Yes! You follow the road, and I should be able to see you soon. I've been staring through my binoculars at the road and the surrounding situation. Now these men are heading north in your direction, and the target's guards are fighting and retreating. Zhao Yi said.

"Understood. You wait for my signal before you act. I hung up the phone.

I looked at Milk, "The other party has found the target." They were chasing the target on the side of our walk. The target's guards are fighting and retreating. We immediately changed to an attack formation, and you and I each took some people to the front, and when we saw the people of the Eastern Battalion, they opened fire and rushed over regardless of what they were doing. ”

"Yes. That's it. Milk nodded in agreement.

Then I looked at Pulcic, "You take the people with me first, and then you pay attention to the movement of your target, try to coordinate with them, and it's better to go with us to the border." ”

"Understood!" Pulsic replied.

"Uncle, you and your men will act with me. Others follow this Milk. I said, "I'm on the right, Milk is on the left." Let's do it. ”

So we divided into two teams, each with a gun with the wounded, and quickened our pace to the place where the gunfire had come from.

As the distance got closer, the sound of gunfire became clearer, and after about five or six minutes of walking, I saw a faint figure in front of me. Judging by the costume, this figure should be the target's bodyguard, because it is wearing civilian clothes. He was firing a gun in the direction of the border.

I paused and looked at Pulcic, "Remember for a moment that you go and find your target as quickly as possible, and then let them rush with us." ”

Pulsic nodded and looked at the Bosnian Serbs who were still alive beside him, "You all follow him and follow his commands." He looked at me, "Let's do it." ”

I nodded, took out the phone, dialed the number, and said, "Don't hang up the phone from now on, and be ready to cross the border to meet us at any time." ”

"Understood!" Zhao Yi replied on the other side of the phone. Then came the sound of him beckoning his men to get ready to move.

I looked at Milk, "Don't be broken up, let's go straight to the border." ”

Milk gave a thumbs up to indicate that there was no problem.

"Action!"

After walking two hundred meters, I saw the men of the Eastern Battalion, who had divided into two or three teams and were trying to surround the target. Soon they saw us fast towards them, and at the same time, Pulsic broke away from our group and headed in the direction of the target.

"Attack forward! Punch them through! Milk's shouts were heard.

I pulled the trigger when I saw a figure from the Eastern Battalion, and the other side began to shoot at us. "Forward, forward! Keep it going! Don't stop! I shouted as I shot.

Pulcic quickly made contact with the target, and after exchanging a few words with the people around him, the target leaned towards us under the protection of the guards.

The line of the Eastern Battalion was very loose at the moment, perhaps because of the fact that the target was surrounded separately, and under a fierce attack on my side, those close to my side were quickly repulsed by me and retreated in the direction of the northwest and away from the road.

"Fast forward! Pass here! "As I continued to pull the trigger and accelerated, the men of the Eastern Battalion were not retreating, they were shrinking their formation, trying to reorganize their men, which indicated that they would soon counterattack.

A moment later, I led the men to open the way in the direction of the road, the men of the Eastern Battalion were already at my eight to nine o'clock position at this moment, and Milk and the target's position were relatively backward, I motioned for everyone to slow down, "Cover shooting!" Cover the shot and let the others follow! ”

And just as Milk, with his men and Pulcic, with his target and his guard, quickly approached us, gunfire was heard closer to the border.

What's going on ******? Is there anyone in the back? I immediately took out my phone, but unfortunately no one responded to a few words on the phone, and all I heard on the other end of the phone was gunshots.

"Damn it!" I had to put it in my pocket, look at Milk, who was already leaning in, and said, "There's a problem on the border line." Rush over in one go! ”

"Rush over!" Milk yelled at the others and rushed first. His men quickly followed him, while I continued to cover and shoot, and only began to fight and retreat after the two wounded, the captain and the gardener, had followed.

Soon, Milk was shooting, and the gunfire suddenly became very dense, not only did we increase the frequency of shooting here, but the other side also increased. The people of the Eastern Battalion, who had been repelled to the side by us before, also bit us tightly at this moment and quickly pressed up.

We quickened our pace, but the captain and the gardener, the two wounded, could not do so. The gardener was fine, the captain had a broken leg and couldn't move as fast as we did, and although someone helped to help him, he was more likely to move by someone who was holding him.

I grabbed the other side of the captain and sped up and walked forward, "Hurry! Keep up with the team! ”

I don't know exactly what was going on ahead, but judging by the gunfire and the occasional explosions, it was quite intense, and it didn't take a distance to see a dead or seriously wounded man lying on the ground, but still breathless. I let myself try not to look at these people who fell to the ground, not because I was afraid, but because I wanted to do cruel, crazy things more and more, the Yankee John once said that these could be war traumas, and then I paid attention to these related information, which mentioned that my current state is said to be a serious mental illness. I don't want to be a madman, I want to keep my sanity, and only by staying sane will I have a better chance of going back alive.

Suddenly, the captain became very heavy in an instant, as if the whole weight had been weighed down. I looked sideways, and it turned out that the man who was holding him on the other side had fallen to the ground, and he had been shot in the back of the heart, at least two bullets, and he was no longer moving.

I lifted the captain up, "Hold on, I'll take you back." I'll carry you! ”

I threw my rifle away, picked up the captain and walked backwards. But I was already very tired, and from the beginning to the present, I didn't talk about resting, but the water was just pouring into the river. At this moment, the captain was obviously powerless on his back, and the forward speed of swaying left and right was not much faster.

I gritted my teeth and silently encouraged myself to persevere, just as I did in the past when I couldn't hold on to training, when Chechnya was in a desperate situation, encouraging myself to force myself to persevere.

There was a boom, and the shock wave hit my left side, and I, who was already unstable, fell out with the captain.

Fortunately, it was just a shock wave, I was not hurt, I got up and looked at the captain, who also looked at me. He suddenly smiled and crawled to the side of the road and pulled over a rifle that had fallen there.

"Chief... I can't leave, it's time for us to break up. The captain pulled the bolt of his gun as he spoke, "Leave me alone, I'm already ready, it's much happier than my previous life as a boatman." I'll cover, you go quickly. You've done your best to drag me here. ”

"Don't give a damn bullshit." I grabbed him and looked around, I was going to find someone to help, but I looked, and now the team is almost dispersed, dead and wounded, and some are trying to rush forward to kill, how can anyone come to help.

The captain opened my hand and then pushed me, "Let's go!" If you have the chance, help me go home and tell my father, who was a soldier, how his son died. Go, go, go, go, boss! ”

I glanced at the pursuers of the approaching Eastern Battalion, let go of my hand, turned around and ran out towards the team, and after trying to catch up with the team, I looked back in the direction of the captain, but unfortunately from this angle I could no longer see him making the last resistance on the side of the road, I could only faintly hear a very special gunfire there without hurrying or slowing rhythmically.
