Chapter 52: The Dead on the Border Line
Vurich and Bogdan nodded at the same time and said, "This is our companion, fighting together with the Albanians and NATO." If it weren't for him, I would have been dead in Kosovo for almost half a day. β
"Me too." Bogdan spoke.
The Serbian soldier looked at me, and after a moment pointed to my cheek and said, "We have a military doctor, let him take care of it for you." β
"Thank you." I swallowed the pain and spoke.
The Serb waved us into the car and said, "Take them and leave this hellish place with them." β
After getting in the car, I got treated. The medic removed the sawdust from my cheek, and after cleaning it, he told me that although the wound was penetrating, the window was not large, so the problem would not be serious, and the scar would not be noticeable if it was treated.
I smiled reluctantly at what he said, then leaned back in the carriage and let out a long sigh of relief. The medic got up and sat down next to me, and he looked at me and said, "Don't do this kind of thing in the future." It's useless. β
I listened to him say this, looked at him and didn't speak. The military doctor saw that I was silent and continued: "Chinese? β
I continued to be silent because I didn't want to talk about it even more. But the Serb smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't speak, who of your good-looking people would come here at such a time?" β
Just as I was about to remain silent, Vurich, who was beside me, spoke, "Is there anything on the border line?" I mean, did someone from NATO or Albanians come over? β
"Nope." The Serb officer, who got out of the car to talk to us, said, "They didn't come, only someone was raided on the border last night." I guess the people who were raided should be your people. β
"The result? Are our people losing a lot? Vurich asked eagerly.
The Serb looked at him and Bogdan, hesitated for a moment and said: "The loss is not small. We will pass by there on our way back, and when the time comes, you may see for yourselves, and perhaps there you may be able to join your companions. β
The convoy circled the border about once before turning back, and near midnight we came to the place where the NATOs had been raided the previous night. There are still quite a few people here at the moment, most of them from the military.
I got out of the car with VuriΔ and Bogdan, and the Serb officer pointed ahead and said, "The bodies are all laid on the grass there, you can go and have a look." We still have to go beforehand. Finally, I would like to give you a word of advice, as my companion said: go home and don't do any more of these things. Although you are heroic, it is useless, save your life and live well. After saying that, he called a Serbian soldier next to him and pointed at us and explained a few words, and then the soldier walked up to us and said, "I'll take you to see it." β
I glanced back at the Serbian officer, and after VuriΔ thanked him, the three of us followed the soldier to the place where the body was placed. The soldier handed us a flashlight, "Look at it. There were more than thirty corpses in total. β
Bogdan took the flashlight and turned it on and shone it on the dark shadows lying on the ground. We saw that the corpses had not yet been covered with white cloth, and that they were all wearing the same camouflage that they had worn when they set off for battle. The men were hit in a variety of places, some were shot in the front, some were on the side, and more were in the back, and it seems that soon after the raid began, everyone panicked and began to flee, according to us, the bombing of the camp.
Soon, I saw a familiar face. It was Dravich, who had been shot in the heart and left shoulder, and his eyes were still slightly open. There were several people lying beside him, whose faces were also a little familiar, probably the ones that Dravic had brought with them. I quickly asked Bogdan to take a look at everyone, but luckily there was no Milk, not even the Serb I brought with me.
I let out a long sigh of relief and looked at VuriΔ and Bogdan and said, "Do you know anyone?" β
Bogdan and VuriΔ nodded and said, "There are acquaintances, but there is no one on the same team as us, and most of them here should be Petkovic and Kostic." β
I nodded, took the flashlight in Bogdan's hand and shone it at Dravich, "This is Dravich, you should know each other." He was the commander of Kostic's team. β
"It's him. It seems that Kostic's team is also finished this time. Wuliqi sighed and continued, "I guess our people have left here. I'm going to ask about the situation and see what to do with the corpses. β
I handed the flashlight to Vurich, "It's better to find something to eat." I'm starving. β
Bogdan pointed to my face and said, "Are you sure you can eat it?" β
"You have to eat it anyway. Otherwise, if you don't get killed, you will starve to death first. I said and found a place to sit down.
A moment later VuriΔ returned, bringing some water and bread. I endured the pain and nibbled on a few mouthfuls of bread, and after a few mouthfuls of water, Vurich said, "They will carry the body away after dawn." They said that when they came, there were no more people alive here, only corpses in one place. No one sees our people. β
"Where can we find them?" I asked.
Wurich shook his head and said: "Definitely not on the border, this time the loss is so serious, it is estimated that there will be no assembly ground." β
"Then let's go with the army." I said and stood up, "I'll spend the night here tonight, and the NATO guys should be almost victorious." We can rest and rest after eating and drinking. β
After the night had passed, as soon as it was dawn, vehicles arrived, these were trucks, the compartments were empty, and it seemed that they had come to haul the corpses. Vurich went over and negotiated with the man driving the truck for a moment, and then motioned for us to leave here with the car. It took about half an hour to move the body, and after half an hour we got into a truck and left with it.
In the car, I looked at the corpse in the car and said, "What will we do in the future?" I don't think there will be any more attacks or other actions, right? β
Vurich shook his head, "We can't do it anyway. Now it is estimated that there are still personnel and equipment, which is Ke Qiman and the two guys who were attacked by the earl. Among them, Ke Qiman's strength is the strongest. β
"Does that mean that Ke Qiman has the final say in this organization in the future?" I actually just want to know this, after all, in such an organization, whoever has more people and more guns is powerful, and this is the case in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.
"Pretty much. Originally, it was Ivanovic, Petkovic and Kochiman who decided the matter. It is not expected to be now, at least Petkovic will not be taken seriously, and Kochiman will be the dominant family. Vuriqi said.
"What about Kostic?" I asked.
"Kostic has lost Dravich and he has no say." Vurich said unceremoniously, "What will happen to you?" Is the mission accomplished? β
This question is actually what I want to know, and I thought that I might not have a good life before I came here, but I didn't expect it to be like this. I originally thought that I would come here to do guerrilla business, to shoot cold guns, to conduct a raid, to kidnap or something. After the result came, it caught up with a big operation, and the key was that the opponent was actually a NATO mercenary in the end. I thought about playing against people from NATO, but I didn't expect it to be in this situation. My men have suffered a lot of losses, and maybe going back and reporting back will really allow us to finish our mission here and get out of here. But at this moment, I am a little unwilling, because I always feel that I have gone around the ghost door again without knowing it, and I have been beaten, I have suffered a lot, and I will leave without retaliating against the other party? This seems to be somewhat gray, even a feeling of running away.
"Maybe. I didn't know until I went back and found the team. I said.
