This is a side of the road, and there are already quite a few people on both sides of the road. These were supposed to be Kostic, or rather those recruited by Dravic. These people also looked relaxed, with the smell of smoke and food wafting through the air.

"See?" Yugovic jumped out of the car, "Welcome to the picnic camp. ”

I looked at Milk, "What are we going to do?" ”

Milk smiled and said, "What else can I do?" Aren't you hungry? ”

"You mean we're going camping too?" I asked.

"What else? Don't be nervous, this is still Serbia. It's not an enemy-occupied area, and even if we fight, we'll be in the back, so let's see. Milk said as he looked at the thirty people who were pulling us from behind the convoy, "Drag the oil bottle!" Let them all come down, and everyone will fill their stomachs and rest. ”

"Understood!" From there came the sound of a drag oil bottle responding.

So we joined the camp, and Dravich introduced us to these guys. These people were very enthusiastic and kept handing us all kinds of food, and the people we brought with us were quick to talk and laugh with them, after all, they were all Serbs. Of course, in addition to Yugovich, there is also the gang he brought with him.

I touched Milk, motioning for him to look at Yugovich and them. Milk glanced at them, then whispered, "That old guy doesn't seem to be optimistic about this operation. It's like I'm worried about something. ”

"I don't think he's hopeful about these people in Kostic at all. As you can see, it's like a summer camp. After I finished speaking, I picked up the barbecue meat that someone else gave us and took a bite, "But this meat is delicious." ”

Milk smiled at me, "It's better to keep it that way." I haven't enjoyed it yet. ”

"What treatment? Drink wine and eat meat? How can it be. I don't believe it.

"I mean, being sent to fight and ending up in the rear, drinking and eating meat, singing and counting the stars in the night sky. There has never been such treatment. Milk explained.

I nodded, "That's right." Haha, hearing you say that, I suddenly think those three people yesterday are very cute. They took on all the tasks. ”

As the night went on, Kostic summoned Yugovic early in the morning, and Dravic and I met with Milk. He informed us that the fat and thin men had entered Kosovo and were rapidly moving towards the ambush site. And Ke Qiman's people are also in place as planned.

"I thought something had changed, and I was going to arrange for us to go there." I spoke to Milk.

Milk shook his head and gestured around, "These people can't do it. I looked at it last night. The vigilance of these people is low, and judging by the position of the sentry, these people are inexperienced. If something happens, we have to rely on ourselves, don't count on them. ”

Just as I nodded in agreement, Yugovich beckoned to us and said, "Come and have breakfast with me, old fellow." ”

Milk and I gladly agreed to come to Yugovich. I was eating my bread and looking at the other people, when Yugovich, who was next to me, suddenly said, "Don't worry. There will be no enemies here. It's totally easy to relax. ”

I glanced at him and smiled, "Uncle, I have a question." Don't be angry when asked. ”

"It's fine. You ask. Jugovic said.

I pointed to the people around me, "Is this team not long in formation?" ”

Yugovich smiled and nodded, "It's not long." And I haven't fought with the enemy with real swords and guns. It's just a bunch of hot-blooded children. Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this. ”

Milk nodded when he listened, "The fat man and the thin man. I mean, Ivankovic and Petkovic's team is the main one? ”

"Almost. But those two people didn't get along well. Yugovic said very frankly.

"I feel it too." After I finished speaking, I continued: "And that Ke Qiman, how is his team?" ”

"Ke Qiman?" Yugovich hesitated for a moment when he heard the name and then whispered, "That guy is hard to say, but I advise you not to trust that guy too much." ”

Milk and I looked at each other and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, Yugovich pointed to the thirty men we had brought, "It seems that many of you have combat experience. Especially the one called, dragging the oil bottle? It seems that there have been many battles. ”

It seems that this old fellow has carefully inquired about the situation of our people, and presumably learned about it after arranging for someone to come into contact with us during the day yesterday.

When the old guy saw that Milk and I didn't speak, he immediately laughed and said, "Sorry, I didn't want to hear anything. To be honest, I just want to know about the people who are going to be my comrades-in-arms, so I feel at ease. ”

"Uncle. It's nothing. In fact, I can tell you that more than half of those thirty people have fought. As for where and by whom I fought, I can't say, at least not from my mouth. But I can also tell you why more than half of the people have been beaten, because the other half are either dead or disabled, and some of these thirty people have been added. Milk began.

The old guy's men looked at each other, and the old guy himself laughed after a moment's pause, "That's great." Since you're telling me this. Then I can tell you one thing in return. As he spoke, he looked around, and after making sure that there were no irrelevant people, he spoke: "Those of our enemies may have moved lately, and the peaceful days may come to an end." I mean, we people here probably won't have the chance to camp like this again. ”

"Are you saying that when we are calculating others, they are actually calculating us?" I asked.

The old guy nodded, "Of course." I hate those people, but they are not stupid. On the contrary, they are often more difficult to deal with. Otherwise, they wouldn't have persevered to this day. ”

"Is your information reliable? Does Kostic know? Milk asked

"I spoke to Kostic. But he didn't seem to take it too seriously. My sources are reliable, after all, I have lived for so many years and know a few people at some point. Jugovic said.

"Kostic won't understand this truth, why doesn't he believe you?" Milk continued.

Yugovich sighed and did not answer directly, but said in a low voice: "You just have to believe it." I hope that then we can help each other and survive. ”

"But we're just in reserve now. I don't think that's going to change anytime soon, unless... I said and looked at Yugovich.

Yugovic sneered and said, "Unless Ivankovic and the other guy are severely damaged or even eliminated." ”

"Is this possible? If that kind of conflict arises, I think those of us will be in the middle of it. I said.

When Yugovic heard me say this, he suddenly spread his hands and said, "Look, isn't there an opportunity for us to help each other?" ”

"I see." I nodded my head to show that I understood. The old guy is telling us that someone is targeting the fat duo of Petkovic and Ivankovic. It is even possible that they want to take advantage of the opportunity to deal with the fat and thin duo and beat the rabbit with the grass and other armed groups.

"Is this operation a trap?" Milk asked.

&nbs

p; Yugovich shook his head, "I don't know. But soon we'll know the results. Tomorrow we should know if it's true or not. ”

In the afternoon, Kostic gathered everyone together again, and the change really happened. He told us that there had been a fierce attack on friendly forces. But to our surprise, it was not the fat and thin duo who were attacked, nor Ke Qiman, but the two armed men who were going to meet us in the future because they wanted to keep an eye on the bandits and the Albanian armed forces.

Kostic temporarily decided to send thirty of us, with the cooperation of Yugovic to support. The aim was to help the Serbs there hold out and wait for the support of other friendly forces.
