We led each other around the area until the sun went down, and as the light faded away, the group behind us grew farther and farther away. We didn't have a driving light, and the people chasing us didn't turn on, and while it was certainly dangerous, no one wanted to let the other know exactly where they were in the night, whether they were fleeing or being tracked.

After the sky was completely dark, we continued to drive with the moonlight, until we couldn't see or hear any figures and movements of the other party in the rear, and then the car that Said, who had been leading the way, slowed down, and at the same time heard Said's voice in my ears, "Stop." We'll stop here. Everyone brought their stuff and followed me. ”

Now in this place, there is naturally nothing to pull over or not to pull over, we just stopped the car and immediately turned off, and each quickly left the car with their equipment. After all, it is not clear whether there are still people following us or whether there are any other militants around here, and once someone follows us or is discovered, then the car parked here is undoubtedly an obvious target, so standing around the car at this time obviously becomes a very unsafe behavior.

After leaving the car, our group followed Said and ran for about 100 meters in the dark before stopping. After confirming that there was no movement around, Saeed came to me with his men and immediately said, "We are currently off course, a little farther away from the direction of the border. We have a longer way to go. ”

I looked up at the others, "Check the equipment, water and ammunition." After saying that, I looked up at the sky, "Can you have some good news?" The moon is so bright in this place, and the reflection on the ground is so strong, which is not conducive to our night walking. ”

"Good news? The good news is that the people behind don't dare to drive the car and continue to chase. At most, it was following us, and it was mostly on foot. And in such a situation, it is beneficial for us to escape. And by the way, the temperature difference between day and night in our place is large, so pay more attention. Said said, looking back at the Turk we had caught, and said a few words in a kind tone, probably some comfort, and told the guy not to want to cooperate with all of us or something.

The Turk was silent, and he could not see his expression clearly in the darkness. However, judging from the actions of the people holding him, this guy is quite cooperative, he will go wherever he is pulled, and there is no resistance at all.

Said patted the Turk on the shoulder after speaking, and then he looked at us and said, "Are you all ready?" When you're ready, let's go. “

"Gardener, you are at the end of the line, and watch the movement behind us. Aliyev, you are with the gardener. After saying that, I looked at the oil **, "You and I follow Said to the front." The others were responsible for the wounded and walked with the target in the middle of the line. Don't talk and keep quiet unless you find out. “

After everyone had responded, I looked at Said. Said looked up at the sky and pointed in a direction, "Let's continue south." Wait until you cross the Bande Khan area and go east. ”

"Listen to you. We will go as you say. I said and stepped out in the direction he was pointing.

This journey is not slow, even fast. We followed closely behind Said, and continued to walk forward with the moonlight and the reflection of the ground. It wasn't until almost midnight that Saeed stopped and signaled for everyone to take a break.

I immediately assigned men to guard on all sides, and surrounded the wounded and the target in the middle. I checked the injuries of a few of the wounded, and after making sure they were all in good shape, I got up and went to Said's side and said in a low voice: "It's already the middle of the night, how long are we going to walk?" ”

"I know the time." Said poured his saliva and continued, "I'll turn east at once. I hope that we can pass through the outskirts of Bander Khan all the way. ”

"What? You're not sure if you can get around there right now? I asked dissatisfied.

Said pointed to the sky, "I'm going to look at the stars and the moon right now, and I'll calculate the approximate distance with my head." Do you think I can tell you with absolute certainty what the results are? “

"But it's midnight. In a few hours, it will be dawn. Are you sure? I asked eagerly.

"Yes! Of course. As he spoke, he stood up and continued to look up at the sky, "It's not the first time I've done this, I should say it's not the first time I've done something like this." I did it a few times when the Yankees called, and the final effect was good. He said with a smile and took another sip of water and put the gun on his back, "Five more minutes of rest." After that, we hurried and set off. “

I nodded and asked no more, since Said had similar experience, and it was still actual combat experience, what else could I say? Even if it still doesn't feel very good, but now that I've come here, I can only continue to walk hard.

I got up and came to the back of the line, and after finding the gardener, I walked over to him, looked in the direction we were coming from, and whispered, "How's it going?" Is anyone following this? “

The gardener shook his head and whispered, "I didn't find it." I guess the other party is some distance away from us. I'm afraid they don't necessarily need to see us. He said and pointed to his feet, "This is a gravel road, and walking through it will leave a lot of traces." If Christovich had been allowed to come, he would have been able to follow him without seeing anyone. I think the Kurds behind this are probably the same, they are locals after all, and I think they should have this ability. “

"That's a good point." I nodded, "That old guy Yugovic had the ability to do this, but in those mountains. “

The gardener nodded and did not speak, as if he did not want to talk too much about the people who had died before. It wasn't until I was about to get up and leave that he said, "When this is over, I want to go back to Serbia, I want to go and see them." ”

I glanced back at him and whispered, "It's time to think about being an ordinary person again." Go back to being a teacher. “

Five minutes passed quickly. By the time I returned to Said, he had signaled for his men to pull their targets up from the ground and prepare to continue with them.

This time, Saeed took us in a different direction and walked all the way to the east. This time, Saeed walked faster, as if time was running out. Fortunately, although the ground here is sandy, there are no big potholes, and following Said's footsteps, I also avoid some difficult places. Otherwise, at this speed, it is walking in the dark night, and someone will have to fall behind.

But none of us complained, not even the wounded, but they took turns more often. Maybe it's because everyone knows it's not safe, or because everyone doesn't feel as good as I do.

After walking almost in a hurry, for almost three hours, there was a sudden change in the night sky, which had been calm. I saw a flash of light in the air directly in front of us, and it was not lightning, but the bright light from the explosion of something.

The team quickly stopped, and everyone went around to stand on guard. Said looked straight ahead, and a faint explosion came a moment later. Then we saw flashes of light again, followed by a flurry of gunfire.

"It seems that there are quite a few people who don't sleep this night." The oil tow next to me whispered.

Said nodded, "This direction should be near the border, judging by the sound, we are still some distance away." But it seems that the firefight is quite fierce. Is there any action today? ”

Thanks to the old bacon Dada for cutting fat!
