It wasn't the TLBs at the front of the line who shot first, the gunfire was coming from the top left of our line. Gunshots came from the slopes of a hill higher than ours. I quickly dodged and looked over the place, where they were now in a rather unfavorable position, probably about ten or less, presumably from this side when a Black Hawk had been engaged in a firefight near the valley. They are not very numerous, but they are condescending, and it is difficult for us to fight back effectively.

If we can't fight back, then we're left with only one choice. That's running!

I quickly looked at the people around me, I saw Said first, Said was holding the frightened Akmal in one hand, this guy was like a frightened child from the time I saw him, it stands to reason that a person who dares to give up his superior life to fight a powerful enemy should have thought about everything a long time ago, but this guy has obviously been overwhelmed by the experience of suffering, so much so that he has made me feel that he is not a man who has come here to fight, but a victim who has been forced to get involved in this war like ordinary people.

"Onward! Keep moving! I shouted at Said, "Take them first!" After saying that, I looked at Salim "Cover!" Cover Shot! “

I picked up my gun and fired two shots upwards, and the people in the TLB were shouting at each other as they fired, and several of them had already been hit and fell to the ground. Although there was a lot of momentum below us, not only did it not suppress the momentum of the enemies above, but instead made them attack more violently.

I continued to move forward as I shot, and within two steps I tripped over something under my feet and fell to the ground. I took a quick look at what had tripped over me, and it was a corpse of a TLB. This person is the one I saw carrying the RPG on his back just now, but at the moment his RPG is no longer in his hands. I looked up and saw another TLB carrying a rocket under the command of the leader to quickly complete the preparation for launch, and then the rocket flew out, but because of the chaos of the scene, the tail flame from the tail of the rocket launcher knocked the other TLB to the ground.

The rocket flew upwards and exploded on the hillside. The explosion stopped the other man for a moment, and I quickly got up from the ground. The leading TLB looked at us, and he quickly found Kasim, shouting at him and gesturing at him, seeing that he was gesturing us to continue along the mountain path.

Even if he didn't say I would, just as I started to move, a TLB armed man ran past me, and he quickly picked up his fallen companion to the ground and prepared to move on, but the two guys didn't take two steps, and when the gunshots rang out again from above, the two men were shot and fell in front of us.

I ran forward quickly, and I noticed that Ahmed was falling to the ground as he ran, and his companion turned around and tried to help him, but the bullets from above kept his companion from approaching.

I picked up my speed and ran forward for a while, and after getting close to Ahmed quickly, I pulled him up from the ground, and before I could ask, Ahmed himself said, "I'm fine. I'm fine... It sounded like he was comforting himself rather than saying it to me.

I dragged him on for a while, and his companion in front of me saw us coming and quickly came over and walked with me to help him walk forward. At this moment, the three of us were already in a relatively backward position, and in front of us, I saw Qasim and Saeed fighting and retreating, and some people were shouting at us. At the same time, from time to time, TLB people ran by us, some of them shot as they ran, some were shot and fell to the ground, killed or wounded, and some did not look back.

Just as I was about to pick up speed and run forward, I suddenly heard a "grenade!" from behind me. hidden". Then I lost my center after an explosion and then broke off.

By the time I regained consciousness, there were no gunshots around, let alone explosions. I looked straight ahead of me, and soon I realized that I was lying on my back. I tried to move, and the one thing I felt besides my vision was pain, and I even felt like I was awakened by the pain. There are many parts of the body that hurt, legs, arms, back, ribs... And the head ...

Just as I tried to move, a face appeared in front of me. I quickly recognized the face, it was Ahmed. He seemed relieved to see me wake up, and he moved to my side and whispered, "You've finally woken up." “

I endured the pain and said, "Where is this?" I said and looked at the stone wall above, "In the cave? “

"It's not a cave. If it's a hole, the light isn't so good. At most, it's just hiding under a rock wall. Ahmed said.

"What about the others?" I asked.

Ahmed shook his head, "I don't know... He looked at me, "You don't remember how we got down?" “

I glanced at him, "Come down?" What do you call it down? “

"." Ahmed smiled wryly, gestured twice, and then pointed at himself.

That's when I noticed a lot of abrasions on Ahmed's face. I turned to look at him, and now he was ragged, unkempt, and scarred, and his whole image was worse than that of a man who asked for food. I carefully recalled what had happened before, and the last thing I remembered was that I was running, pulling Ahmed to run, and then... It's not impressive.

Ahmed seemed to see that he couldn't remember, and he sighed and said, "We were pushed out of the hill by the explosion. And then we rolled all the way down. He glanced at me, "Actually, the two of us are lucky." If it weren't for the fact that there were only a few people separated from us at the place of the explosion, I guess the two of us wouldn't have had a chance to talk here. “

"What about the others? Is it just the two of us? I asked.

"I don't know." Ahmed said, gesturing upward, "But it sounds like the fight is over. “

"It's long over?" I looked at him in surprise, but there really wasn't any gunfire now, and there didn't seem to be any sound outside. "How long have I been in a coma?"

"Two hours." Ahmed said and pointed outside, "If you don't wake up, it's going to be dark." “

"It's dark... I tried to get up from the ground, but the pain was unbearable.

"Don't move... Ahmed quickly pressed me, "You're much more injured now, like shrapnel in your legs. It's impossible to leave here, I'll have to spend the night here tonight. “

I took a few breaths and then lay back down, and after a pain had passed, I said, "Can you tell me some good news?" ”

"Good news? The good news is that we are not dead ... The Yankees didn't notice us either. Do these count? Ahmed said as he flipped through the bag I was carrying, "That's right. . . And the good news is that your bones should not be broken, and we still have some food and drink. That's all. “
