Chapter XIX Entry into Kosovo
The front team led by Dravich was attacked, and while Kostic was organizing a defensive line, the entire team was attacked, and at the moment the whole team stopped advancing and defending on the spot. Petrovich and Ivankovic, having broken through the enemy's encirclement, are heading towards the meeting point agreed with Kostic.
That's what Yugovic told us after he got in touch. It can be said that the situation is gradually developing towards the worst-case scenario that we think. Even if the fat and thin duo break through and are moving closer to Kostic, it is not good news. To us, it's more like a pack of beasts driving their prey to one place and catching them all.
What are we going to do? Milk and I looked at Yugovich. Yugovic looked at his dozen or so men, and then at our twenty or so, "We have to venture into Kosovo." They must be rescued. ”
Milk nodded and said, "It's good to help, but at present, from what you told us, the other party is undoubtedly preparing with a big net." We don't have a lot of people, so if we go after them, we're probably going to end up like Kostic and them. ”
Yugovic nodded, "Don't worry. I wouldn't be as stupid as he was. I know a lot more than they do. I'll lead the way, and I'll be around them soon. ”
Milk and I looked at each other, and we still agreed with this old guy's ability. Milk continued to nod and said, "How far are they from here now?" ”
"Thirty kilometers." Yugovich began: "Thirty kilometers is actually a short time, but retreating under siege will be a distance that can never be completed. ”
"What do you mean? Ready to walk back? Milk asked.
Yugovich glanced at him and said: "Who didn't start the ambush with the destruction of the opponent's vehicles?" Don't want to come back in the car like us. ”
"What if you carry a large number of wounded? If you don't have a vehicle, is that all the way out? Can't you send a car to pick you up? Milk continued.
Yugovich shook his head, "It's impossible. It is definitely not possible to pass from this road, there must be people from the other side on the road. And the road we're going to take can't be cared for. ”
"What's your plan? I want to know what you're planning all about. Milk asked, a little impatiently.
"There are no specific plans. For I know no more than you, and I have told you all that I know. At present, we can only get close to them and see the situation before making plans. Jugovic said and thought for a moment and then said: "At the moment I can be sure that we will travel ten kilometers by car, then go to another road, and then find them, and then find a way to take them back from the road we went." As long as you enter the path I know, the opponent's strength advantage will not be able to expand, if you need to, you can play with them in that area, if we are not too lucky, we will be the last to get out of that place alive. ”
I glanced at the others who were packing up their weapons and ammunition, "When are we leaving?" ”
Yugovic followed my gaze and looked at everyone, "Let the lads rest for a while." There is a long way to go below, and the road is not easy to walk, and when you get to the place, you will fight. ”
"Two hours. May I? I asked.
Yugovich looked at his watch, he looked anxious but nodded and said, "Yes." We set off two hours later. ”
I immediately went to the side of the oil bottle and said, "Let's take a break." Two hours later we set off for Kosovo, on a combat mission. ”
"Understood." I grabbed him and pointed to the weapons and equipment that had been supplied to us, "What's there?" ”
"Nothing special. Two squad machine guns, RPK-74. One RPG-7, high-explosive shells, a total of five rounds. An 82 rapid-fire mortar, but there were not many shells, only five rounds. There were also a dozen or so rifles, bullets and
There are quite a few grenades. "Drag the oil bottle road.
"It's ok, not bad. At least not only cannons without shells. Distribute things and arrange people and other helpers who use them. In particular, bullets and grenades can be brought as much as possible this time. And water, bring more water. With that, I turned and walked over to Milk and Yugovich.
"Uncle. All you have is these broken irons? I walked over to the road.
Yugovich glanced at the boxes containing weapons and ammunition, smiled bitterly, and said: "I seem to have said that the good things here are in the hands of the fat man and the thin man. Even Kostic's own team of 100 or so men is no better than that. It would be nice to be able to come up with these now. ”
"If only there were night vision equipment, all kinds of long and short guns, incendiary grenades, grenade launchers, communication equipment." I said as I sat down and prepared to rest.
Yugovic glanced at me and said, "I also hope to have it, I guess those NATO mercenaries will have these things you want." ”
After that, we stopped talking nonsense and everyone started to rest. Two hours passed quickly after you really started to calm down. As soon as I got up, I began to beckon everyone to get in the car and get ready to go.
"I just received bad news. The fat man and the thin man were chasing a large number of enemies behind their butts, and the enemies attacking Kostic were getting stronger and stronger, and it seemed that they were also increasing their troops. Milk said as he glanced at a frowning Yugovich.
"What about their losses there?" I asked.
Milk shook his head, "I don't know, it doesn't seem to be that big at the moment." ”
"Everybody got on the bus. Let's go. Yugovic said as he walked over.
Milk and I followed in the car without speaking. Twenty minutes later the car stopped. We came to the foot of a mountain.
Yugovic pointed to the mountain and said: "From here, we climbed over this mountain and entered Kosovo." Then we will walk through a dense wood, and if all goes well, we will reach the place where Kostic and the others have encountered the enemy in the afternoon. ”
Don't talk nonsense, Yugovich took a dozen of his men first, and our men followed behind him into the mountains. When I walked in, I found that the old guy's road was not a road at all, no wonder it was impossible to drive, there was no road at all. There are few traces of human walking, at least not very often.
After walking for two hours, we descended the mountain, and as he had said, we came to a wood. It's already Kosovo here, the old guy walked at the front of the line and spoke.
After another two hours of advancement, the old guy brought the line to a halt. He came up to me and Milk and said, "Let's take a break." This was our last break to enter the battle site, and we had to move forward with our guns in hand when we set off again. ”
"Take a ten-minute break. Let's have something to eat and check and sort out their weapons and equipment. Everyone should talk as little as possible, especially after departure, and it is forbidden to talk casually. "I instructed the oil bottle.
The oil bottle agreed to make arrangements. I sat down with Milk and Yugovich, I took something out of my backpack and started nibbling on it, Yugovic only took a few sips of water, and he looked stressed, tired but also excited, like he was in a hurry to get into the fight.
Ten minutes later, we set off. This time there was absolute silence and no one spoke. All you can hear is the sound of shoes pressing against leaves and grass on the ground. After walking for about half an hour, Yugovich, who was walking in front, suddenly raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and motioned for everyone to squat down slowly.
I crouched down and looked ahead, there was nothing in the woods ahead, but it seemed like someone was talking. Yugovich in front of him beckoned to me and Milk, and Milke and I leaned over to them.
"Did you hear that? It is estimated that the Albanian armed forces are not allowed in this wilderness
There can be ordinary people here. From here, when we meet each other, we have to get our hands dirty. Kostic is not far from them, these people are most likely the people involved in this operation, and if they find us, then they will soon have someone coming towards us. Jugovic said.
"Shall we go over and have a look?" Milk opened his mouth and whispered.
Yugovich nodded, "That's all there is to it." I'll take someone there. ”
I grabbed the old guy and said, "Uncle, you should stay here." Except for you, me and him, this place is like entering a labyrinth. If you're gone, let's not talk about saving people, you can't get out yourself, so I'll come. Without waiting for him to answer, I beckoned to the oil bottle and motioned for him to come up.
"Call the veterans, the president, the gardeners, the policemen, and the dwarves. We're going to get to work. I smiled.
