Chapter 7: The Temptation I

When I heard the gunshots, I immediately led the people to the dirt slope. The gunfire was fierce at first, but it quickly weakened, and it was estimated that the other party did not bite it.

I quickly led the people to the dirt slope, and I told everyone to disperse, paying attention to the movement of the left and right wings, while I looked in the direction of the old fellow's reconnaissance. There were people shooting here and there, and neither the old guy nor Milk fought back casually, they were right to do so, after all, the enemy's strength is unknown, but it must be prepared for an ambush, and firing casually is tantamount to telling the other party where he is.

I leaned over to one of the people next to me and said, "Call me the gardener." ”

The man said yes, and brought the gardener with him a moment later. I pointed to the two points on the opposite side that were shooting from time to time and said, "Let's see if I can kill them." ”

Without hesitation, the gardener immediately said, "No problem." After saying that, he began to aim and quickly pulled the trigger. Immediately, there was no movement at a firing point opposite. The other didn't seem to realize that he was being targeted, and only stopped after two more shots, but the gardener's gun rang out again, "It should have hit." ”

I tapped him on the shoulder, "Keep your eyes on the other side." You look at it from a different position. Shoot if you spot an enemy. Remember not to stay in one position for too long. ”

"Understood!" The gardener said yes and turned away.

I looked at the other side, and it suddenly became very quiet at the moment, and the silence made people hairy. But after a while, there was movement at the foot of the dirt slope below us. It was supposed to be Milk or the old guy they touched back.

After a while, the oil bottle climbed up from below, and the people around him vigilantly raised their guns and pointed them at him as he emerged from the darkness. It was only after seeing his face that they put down their guns.

"Are they all down there?" I asked directly.

The oil bottle nodded and said, "Yes." The old guy's man was wounded. Our people are okay. ”

"Let them go around from under the dirt slope to the back. Bypass us on the right side. We will cover and answer you. I said.

The oil bottle agreed, and slowly slid down the dirt slope. I immediately assigned a few people to the right to pick them up, and then kept an eye on the movement on the other side. However, there was no movement on the other side until Yugovic and Milk returned together.

I asked them to keep watching, and I went down the dirt slope to meet them. Two of the old guy's men were injured, one of them seemed to be quite serious, and he was leading someone to take measures.

I looked at Milk and said, "What's going on on the other side?" How many of them are there? ”

Milk first turned his head to the oil bottle and said, "Let people expand the scope of vigilance, especially on both sides of the dirt slope." ”

"Understood." The oil bottle promised to make arrangements.

"The other side is prepared. They had sentries on the opposite side of the road, and ambushes in the woods and on the hills behind them. We should have been noticed by the people on the other side after crossing this dirt slope, but there was no bright moon today, and there was no night market or flares or anything like that, otherwise the old fellows would not have come back. Milk said, glancing at the old fellows.

"How many people are there?" I asked.

"It's not clear. However, judging from the time when the fire was first fired, there were about ten people. But I don't think that's all the other side's power. There must have been some others who didn't shoot. As soon as Milk finished speaking, there was movement from the old fellow, and it seemed that the rescue had not had any effect, and the man was dead.

At this moment, the oil bottle came to us and said, "There seems to be movement on the other side." It looks like the other side wants to touch it. ”

"Let's go! Check it out. Tell everyone not to fire casually and to take care of your own hands.

Milk said.

"I'll go with you." Yugovic walked over.

Milk and I didn't say anything, just went up the dirt slope and looked across the road. It was difficult to see where there was in the night, but judging from the subtle movements and extremely faint flickering of black shadows, the other party was indeed approaching this side.

"Grenade?" I looked at Milk and whispered.

Milk nodded, "You can try." ”

I pulled out a grenade, pulled the string, and threw it down the road below. A moment later, the grenade exploded, but it didn't hit anyone, only a flash of light could be seen, and about four or five figures had already passed the road below.

Neither the people below nor the people on the other side returned fire, and immediately after the grenade exploded, there was no movement. It seems that the other side is also stupid from time to time.

"You're with me. Remember where someone was just now? I said to Milk.

"Pretty much." Milk said as he pulled out a grenade. "Uncle, you arrange for the two of you to shoot at those people below."

Yugovic agreed to arrange two people, and then motioned for us.

Milk and I threw the grenade out at the same time. Two grenades exploded one after another, and this time there were still no people, but after the continuous shooting of the people arranged by Yugovich, the people on the opposite side still did not stop. Fire was fired on the opposite side, some in the opposite woods, mostly in the opposite roadside woods. Count about a dozen or so points shooting, which is similar to what Milk said.

"The other party is also a detective." Milk whispered, "It looks like it's going to be a lot of excitement tonight." The other side won't give up easily. ”

"They wanted to find out how many of us were. Then decide whether to defend or attack? I looked at Yugovic and asked.

"That's how it should be. According to Kostic, the opposing side has the advantage in numbers. If we find out that we are only forty or fifty people, then we will definitely call. Even if we don't find out at night, when the other side attacks at dawn, we will know our details. ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Uncle." Did Kostic give you a death order? I mean, we should stay here now? ”

Yugovic shook his head, "Now from time to time the question of whether we can save others, now we have to do something, otherwise if we do what we analyzed before, Kostic and they will be finished." No one will come to their rescue, are we going to go to the NATO peacekeepers for help? They want us to fight with the Albanians. ”

"Okay. We wait, before dawn we take the initiative to attack. I said, looking at Milk, asking for his opinion.

Milk shook his head, "If we decide to attack, then we'll have to continue scouting. At least not to be detected by the other party, and to be quick and effective when moving, not to let the other party drag it down. ”

"Where are the people we want to support now? Is there a collective position? I asked.

Yugovich nodded, "They retreated to an abandoned checkpoint on the border, where there are military camps that are no longer used and can hold on for a while. It's about three kilometers behind the gang on the opposite side. ”

"Then they should hear the gunshots." I said.

"Not should, yes." "But it didn't work. The turtle defense that has been beaten shows that there must be a lot of enemies around them. Generally speaking, they don't go out until they see the exact news. ”

"Don't worry about it for now. We'll go over in an hour and see what the other side looks like. I'll bring someone on it. I looked at Milk and said, "I'll bring the gardener, the veteran, the president, and the oil bottle to have a look." ”

"I'll go with you." Yugovic said, "I'm more familiar with this place than you are. ”

"No problem. Then grab a break. We set off an hour later. I said.
