Chapter Seventy-Five: The Dawn Is Quiet Here (15)
The veteran quickly brought them all up, and I watched as they all entered a badly damaged barracks by the wall.
"You've all heard or understood what Lukovich said before. In a few moments, we will have to cooperate with the people outside to attack the enemy. I said and looked at everyone. At this moment, everyone seems to be relatively calm, even the children brought by Yugovic now seem to be a lot more relaxed.
"There must be someone on the other side watching in that woods outside. Although we don't see them now, I'm sure there are people there. I said, gesturing to the half-missing roof, "The moonlight shines on us, and the woods hide each other's shadows well. This is very bad for us. And the other party must have aimed at the breaches of these walls, the breaches are a large reference object, which is easy to aim and shoot, and if we go directly out of the breaches, it will definitely not work. So I want to ask you guys and see what means of attack you have? ”
When I asked this question, everyone looked at each other and no one spoke. I looked at the oil bottle next to me, and when I saw me looking at him, he immediately looked at the people who had been left for us by Vuriqi: "Say it quickly, this is your territory, you should have more means." ”
These Serbs, you look at me, I look at you, and after a moment one of them said, "We can go around from outside the station, not through the breach." ”
I glanced at the man, the Serb who had followed me and the gardener to defend the other side of the garrison. I heard him say this and smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I know not to go through the breach." But go around? How to get around, to be honest, I'm not familiar with the terrain outside, it's night, and it may not take long to lose my way and get lost after entering the woods. What should I do when the time comes, listening to the sound of gunfire and groping my way forward? ”
"Nope. I mean I'm here to lead the way. I've seen everything around the station, and as long as I don't go too far, I don't think I'll get lost. The man said.
This answer was a bit unexpected, and I suddenly realized that I had become accustomed to the fact that only the old guy Yugovich and his surviving men were good at it, but I ignored the fact that most of these people were experienced in combat and were considered locals.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Christovich, sir." The man replied.
"So how sure are you? Christovich, I don't want a bunch of people to get lost, that would be a big mistake. I said.
Without waiting for Christovic to reply, one of the Serbians next to him spoke: "Sir, he will not have a problem." In case you didn't know, he was nicknamed Hound Dog. In the past, he took him to every action, looked at the map, led the way, and tracked others, and he took everyone to do these tasks. This time, because he has been in poor health recently, he didn't go with him because of the high fever in those days. ”
This is a talent, I can't help but sigh in my heart. This is really what Milk and I did very poorly, that is, for the team we took over, we didn't know more about these people at all, and just used them as ordinary fighters. It seems that we will have to "study" these people in the future.
"Excellent! You go on to say, Christovich. I said.
Christovovich nodded and continued: "We go around from the east, where the woods look dense but the road is actually easy to walk, and from the east, we can quickly approach the woods outside the wall, about twenty minutes. ”
I nodded when he said this, and after thinking about it, I raised my head and looked at everyone and said, "We are like this, we will leave some people here and elect; The other part of the people went around. A few of you, and you, and the veteran gardener. As I spoke, I pointed to the children that Yugovich had sent to me, as well as the three men left behind by Vurich, plus the veterans and gardeners, "You guys stay here, and you are under the command of the veterans." Your job is to get the attention of the other side, and once Milk's side is attacking, you start shooting in the direction of the trees on the other side. In a moment, I will show you the direction and range of your shots, so as to prevent us from being outflanked. Keep in mind that your mission instructions attract their attention, and the fire can be fierce, but remember that you have to change places when you fight for a while, always be alert to the other party's movements, and try to protect yourself as much as possible. There are many places in this area that can be used as a shooting hole by you, don't stand in one place and shoot all the time, the other party is not stupid. Do you understand everything? ”
"Understood!" The people I clicked nodded one after another.
I looked at the oil bottle and said, "You follow me in a moment." After saying that, I looked at Kristovic and the rest of the Serbs, "You all come with me in the attack." ”
When everyone understood, I got up and pulled the veteran and the gardener to the wall, and I pointed to the dark part of the woods that I had been observing, and whispered, "Then you will fight there." The other party should be hiding over there, and the best view from there is this. When you start attacking, the other side may not immediately start to fight back, but don't stop, just keep fighting, as if you have seen someone standing there, don't shoot indiscriminately, let everyone aim at one, and if you really can't aim, try to imagine one. Remember to keep attacking. Then the two of you must remind the others to change the shooting place more, compared to the other party, we are in the bright place, if we don't move often, it is very likely that the other party will kill several of us in one round of attacks after arranging manpower. Especially those who are inexperienced, you must supervise them. If the other party attacks the station after we leave, although this is unlikely, but in case it appears, you immediately retreat to the station gate with people, and we will always pay attention to the movement here, and if we find something wrong, we will dare to come back to meet you. ”
"Understood!" Veterans and gardeners should be there.
"So be it. We are ready to act. I returned to the barracks and looked at Christovich, "Let's go." We need to get to the location as soon as possible. ”
So we set out with a total of twelve of us, and Christovich led us quickly into the woods to the east of the station. Upon entering, the moonlight quickly faded away, and it was as dark as I said. Now it's up to Christovic to be able to do it.
Kristovich stopped after walking for a while, looked up at the sky, then looked around, and after a moment he walked forward again. Take us in one direction.
One by one, we all followed in the footsteps of Christovich, and now we can only move forward in this formation, although we are not far from the enemy, according to common sense, we should now be in a battle formation ready to fight, but now if you don't follow the teammates in front of you, then the whole team will be broken into zero in a short time.
Christovic is also quite experienced in leading the way, his pace is maintained and I walked behind him and noticed that he was always watching the whole team and not just burying his head down. This road is similar to what he said before, and it is indeed not difficult to walk. But it was pitch black, darker than the night when I encountered the signal flag in Chechnya before.
Suddenly, there was a gunshot from the direction of the station, to be precise, it was not from the station, but it should have been the sound of Milk's gunfire, it seemed that they had already begun to move. And the station began firing not long after the gunshots were heard. From the direction from which the gunfire came from, we had gone around to the southeast of the station, and Kristovic was not taking the wrong way, and this guy did not seem to be worse than Yugovic.
Slowly, Christovic slowed down and looked around from time to time. I don't know what he's looking at or what he's seeing, but I look the same way he looks behind him, except it's black or black, and of course some of the leaves reflect some of the moonlight coming down through the trees, but it doesn't work for me.
We continued walking for about three minutes, and the sound of gunfire from the station was already in front of us on the right, and Kristovic signaled for us to stop and crouched down first. Then he patted me back and whispered in my ear, "They should be ahead." We're pretty close. ”
