I looked at Sabah and said, "It's not easy to attack a village occupied by the Yankees. If it's just the Northern Alliance you mentioned, I think it's a bit certain. But if it's an American, an Englishman, I think it's going to be very difficult. IMHO. In my opinion, you are no match for them, and with the same number of them, you cannot win them, even if this is Afghanistan. “

Sabah looked at me, then at Qasim, and spoke. Ahmed said: "He said this and he understood. Because of this, he first gathered his men and then reconnoitred, and finally determined how to proceed. So he lets you don't have to worry, he knows what he's up against. ”

"Okay. Now the problem we are facing is that the firepower is not good. I said, gesturing at the gun, "Just a rifle and a couple of grenades." This is not enough, the opponent should be ready to be attacked, it is difficult for our firepower to break through the opponent's defense. And I wonder, how many of us can there be? And one of the most important ones, what if you can't beat that village? “

Sabah shook his head and said something, and Ahmed followed: "He said, don't worry about weapons and equipment. As for manpower, at least twenty or so people can be found. This is the minimal, he said that this is not nonsense, but well-founded. Last night he arranged for his men to gather some capable men to break through directly, and they should have run out of some people. There are also some scattered runs, which should be more than that. But if they can't take it, they will have to go hungry and go all the way to the border mountains to see if they can get to the next village. “

Hearing him say this, I glanced at Qasim beside me. Qasim looked at me as well, and he nodded at me, as if to indicate that this was the only way to go.

I looked back at Sabah and said, "If we can't take it... That's not something we can just walk away if we want to, right? When we couldn't take it, we suffered losses, wasted time, and dragged the wounded with us. It seems to me that it is difficult for me to run out of the pursuit of the Yankees and their allies. I don't think we'll have a chance to run into the mountains of the border, and I don't think you don't know the Yankees are able to maneuver. “

After hearing Ahmad's words, Sabah looked at me, and Ahmad immediately said, "You mean that you should choose to go directly into the mountains and not to that village?" “

"Yes. I feel like the attacker is very small. It's the Yankees' clean-up now, and they're probably hoping that people like you will automatically run out of the mountains and make a move on their own, out of the way they don't know about it. I said.

Sabah smiled helplessly after listening to Ahmed's translation, and then he said something about Ahmed: "He said, where do you think we are going?" Is it just a walk around? We have to resupply, or at least a large part of the population here will have a hard time getting there. Sabah said and looked at me and Qasim, then pointed to Akmal and his companions behind him, and Ahmed continued: "He said that Qasim is too old to walk, and Akmal and his friends over there probably have no hope of going there. And even if you get around the village, you may not have any obstacles along the way, and you may encounter Yankees on the way into the mountains. The battle is estimated to be difficult to avoid, by then we will be tired and hungry, and then we will fight the enemy, if we win, it is better to rush through the obstacles, but what if we can't rush through? Then continue the detour, then ... Needless to say, you know what the biggest difficulty is. “

I looked at Qasim and said, "What do you think?" Is there any good way to do it? "Originally, I hoped that Qasim would have a way to get rid of Sabah so that we could act independently and in relative safety. But I was disappointed by Qasim's reaction, and when he spoke to me, Ahmed said in the same disappointment: "He said he thinks Sabah has a point." You should go to that village first. “

"Okay!" I said and stood up, "I'll have to talk to my people." With that, I turned and walked over to our group. Ahmed, after a quick translation to Sabah, quickly followed, "He said you should hurry up. “

"These guys... If it weren't for this damn mountainous area, I would have wanted to bring them together ... As I spoke, I came to my own side and quickly told everyone what had happened.

Both Lukovich and Salim objected to the capture of the village, for similar reasons as mine, and thought that it was unlikely that a village occupied by the Yankees would be taken. Said, on the other hand, was in favour of trying it first, because in his view, the road ahead was also full of difficulties and dangers without supplies. And without these people to lead the way, we also have to face the danger of getting lost, although we have Ahmed, but Ahmed is not familiar with this place, compared to Sabah they are far behind.

Said is right, we do have such a problem. No matter how I walked, I would need supplies, and if I got lost it would take more time to walk, which would be very difficult for us, and we would have to deal not only with the Yankees, but also with the TLB. It's too dangerous... What if you follow them? The danger is also great, and the danger of going is better estimated and more predictable than not going. And I think that if we really do it, we can still take a little bit of control on our own, and when it really gets to the point where we can't take it, I'll take Akmal Ahmed and them to run first, and let these crazy people fight the coalition forces on their own. Let's figure out what happens after that. But if it goes well ... That's different, we can at least get supplies and find our way to Pakistan.

Thinking of this, I looked at everyone and said, "Let's go try it with them." Now that it's like this, it's very dangerous, so it's better to make it simple. Don't think too much about it. They're going to muster a lot of people over there, and they should look a little bit better than the weapons we're holding now. Let's take a look. ”

After deciding, everyone quickly packed up their things and followed me to Sabah. After telling him that we had decided to go with him to the village, Sabah immediately gathered his men and set off again with them.

The journey went fairly smoothly, and after a long day in the mountains, we stopped in the evening. Al-Sabah told us that we had arrived. But where I was standing, I didn't see the village. Sabah pointed to a hillside in the distance and spoke. Ahmed immediately said, "He said he could see it when he climbed over that hill." He said not to get too close, it's safer here, and we'll rest here and wait for the others to arrive. ”

Recently, the Internet has been cracked down. Everywhere there is a rumor... There have been quite a few articles that have been sealed...
