The nights were dark and the rain was cool. I entered Kosovo with my men as planned, then headed south, and quietly laid an ambush southeast of a target, waiting for news from Milk.

But after I waited twenty or thirty minutes, there was still no movement from Milk's side. It struck me as odd that they should have already started working on the plan. But the target was still pitch black, and there was no movement.

I kind of wanted to reach out to Milk and ask what was going on. But after thinking about it, I held back, and there shouldn't be any problems. Now that we are the attackers, we have the absolute initiative, and it is impossible to have the kind of bridge in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms where we put an empty camp and wait for the sneak attackers to come in and then counterattack, which is too unrealistic.

Just as I was still hesitating, Milk's voice came to my ears, "Gypsy, tell you a piece of news that you would never have imagined. They ran away, and there was no one left here. ”

"How is this possible?" I was surprised to ask, this was completely illogical. They're here for a ride? How many poses do you make, and then how many shots will we blow up? This can't really be a bridge in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, right? Thinking of this, I immediately said: "Let Yugovich take someone to scout around, and I'll take someone back immediately and lean in your direction." ”

'Jugovic has already taken people out, and Kristovich. I'm standing in the camp right now, but you don't have to worry too much. Judging from this place, they should have really left, and the tents and everything were dismantled, leaving only some useless things. Milk said.

I looked around at the Serbs, all of whom were looking at me at the moment, waiting for my orders. Pulcic said: "It's weird... It seems that they should have left after nightfall, could it be that something went wrong with the other party and let them withdraw by themselves. ”

If it was true that they didn't play tricks and withdrew, it could only be what happened to them. It's not going to be like we're so frightened that they're running away, it's going to be something that makes it impossible for them to stay here any longer. You must know the shelling at dawn, and these people still look like they are going to confront us.

Anyway, I left with the people and made a quick way back. After rounding back to the northeast side of the target, I met Milk, who had also retreated.

"Jugovic and Kristovich, they're still scouting. Inside the camp there was nothing left except some rubbish, some damaged tents, tools and damaged weapons, and bullet casings. Milk said when he saw me.

"It's not like our shelling will crush them." The oil bottle spoke beside Milk.

"That can't be." I shook my head, if this kind of shelling could knock them away, then my people could have invaded Kosovo in a big way. "Many of those people on the other side have served and fought with Serbia, so they will not be so easy to deal with. They must have had an accident or received some kind of news and instructions. ”

"Hey... No matter so much. Now that the rabbits are gone, let's go back. It's damn uncomfortable, and I'm going to have to find a place to start a fire and roast myself. Milk said as he continued his way to Sallich's station.

I looked in the direction of my goal, and I suddenly felt lost, or disappointed. A victory that should have been within reach was inexplicably gone. After sighing helplessly, he also turned around and led the people to follow Milk, and they went all the way back to the supermarket.

About an hour later, Yugovic and Christovic each returned to the market with their own people. They told me that the gang was very resolute and belonged to the kind of people who went away very quickly once they first came. Without any tricks or hesitation, he just really left here. Judging by the traces they left behind, they headed in the heart of Kosovo.

After they finished their debriefings, I gave them all a break. Now I don't have to worry about what tricks the other party is playing, now I think about why they can retreat so inexplicably, is it a trick to retreat? Or do you quietly leave and then quietly touch back, and kill us by surprise?

This shouldn't be, it's too imaginative, what if we don't fool them? It is equivalent to tossing in vain, people are sleepy and tired, and if it is self-defeating, everything will be over. So it's impossible, so what is the reason for that? I haven't figured this out for a long time, and it seems that I'll have to wait to see if there is any news from Younis.

After daybreak, to be on the safe side, I arranged for another reconnaissance in the direction of Kosovo, but still did not find anything. Even so, I stayed one more day, because the old fellow Eunice was coming back soon, and I wanted to get some news from him that would make me feel comfortable getting out of here.

When the old guy returned, he looked tired but happy. I was going to let him drink and rest first, but he refused to sleep and only took a few sips before answering my questions.

My question is very simple, that is, how did these more radical guys from Kosovo and my desperate people suddenly withdraw, what happened to them, and whether there was something strange about them.

The old guy wiped his mouth and said, "I received the news that there is something wrong with them internally. The people who were supposed to act together canceled the operation, and the gang became alone, do you think they can wait? ”

"Then why did you run away so coincidentally before I could do it? Did they get some news? I asked.

"Haha. My Captain of Operations, why did you suddenly become suspicious? It seems to me that this is just a coincidence. When did you decide to do it? The time interval is so short, do you think it's that simple to pass the news out and all the way to those people? Unless the person on the other side is in direct contact with the person who revealed the news to them, but where is such a coincidence? And generally people with guns don't care about these intelligence matters. Younis smiled and continued, "Don't worry. It's just a coincidence. It was their own internal reasons that led to their withdrawal. ”

"Okay. Do you know what's wrong with them? I asked.

Younis shrugged, "I don't know what exactly. It is said that there may be a struggle for power, Berisha and Waldette are dead, there is a power vacuum, and some people want to get it, and they fight for it themselves. ”

"Are you sure it's that simple?" I asked worriedly.

Younis looked at me and took another sip of wine, "My dear student, what's wrong with you?" You weren't like this before, how did you become so careful now, where did you have the audacity to slaughter the men and horses of the Eastern Battalion and Salish before? ”

"That's different." I waved my hand and sat down beside him and whispered, "I killed Waldet that night, do you know what Waldette told me?" ”

"What? I won't confess to you. Younis asked with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense. Waldette said that there were people in NATO who were dealing specifically with us, and he also mentioned the people behind me, saying that they were coming specifically against us. I whispered word by word.

Younis looked nonchalant at first, but after a moment he seemed to understand something, he put down the wine glass in his hand, rubbed his face, and said, "Are you sure he said so?" ”

"Nonsense. He was saying to me, I wasn't listening, I was talking to me. I said.

Younis lowered his head to look at the wine glass on the table, thought for a moment, and said, "There is something I didn't plan to tell you, but it seems necessary for now. ”

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"This time I left to pick up what Berisha had left behind. It was easy to pick up something, but something went wrong in the middle. Eunice scratched his head and continued, "When we went to the guy who kept these things, I found that someone had already found him one step ahead of him and was stationed around him. ”

"What do you mean? Who is this? I asked.

Younis looked at me, "What do you say?" What do you mean by that? ”

Cloth control? "Is this the one who wants to talk to him?" I said.

"It's more than that. They are trying to capture. Younis said with a sneer and continued: "I was already being targeted at the time, but fortunately I was not old enough to be dizzy, and I noticed that something was wrong, and one of them gave me a double look. The look. Hehe, I'm too familiar. I immediately changed my plans and stopped going to the guy. It took me a lot of circles there before I got rid of the people who were following me. Younis breathed a sigh of relief.

"You didn't get that thing?" I asked.

Younis smiled and said, "I got it." And that's where I would say the climax. He poured a glass of wine, took a sip and continued, "Then I returned there in disguise, and upon observation I found that there were about a dozen of them around. And I suspect they also have a safe house near here for equipment and people. That is to say, there are quite a few of them, not a few, but a group, or a small team. I knew I couldn't do it, and I needed support. As he spoke, he looked at me, "I was going to let you and your men help me do it." But come to think of it, you've been in the limelight lately, and your goals are too big. So I brought in Berezov, and he came here with a team to help me do this. "Then in the early hours of yesterday morning, Berezov made a move. I followed them all the way into the building where the guy was and found the guy. The guy was fine, apparently he was threatened and tortured, but he didn't give in, he waited for me and handed me the stuff. ”

"And you're back?" I asked.

Younis shook his head, "It's not that simple. There is also a squad on the other side, a squad in plain clothes. Just as we were leaving, the gang attacked us, and two of Berezov's men were killed, and he himself was wounded. I proposed to run separately, I asked Berezov to run with those things, and I ran alone, do you know why? ”

"Because you know that the other party's target is likely to be you?" I asked.

Younis laughed, "Originally, I thought you were going to say that a small running target can help me run back better." ”

"Hmph. You're pretty conceited in that regard, and I've felt it since you trained us to keep an eye. And you also gave important things to Berezov to them, which is clearly an attempt to cover them. I said.

"Not bad. That's it. Fortunately, the other party was really more interested in me. More people came after me. And I took them with me in the night in Belgrade until the sun rose. Younis let out a long sigh of relief when he said this, "Fortunately, my arms and legs are still good, otherwise I would have been tired to death if I hadn't been killed." ”

Younis is right, this kind of thing of being chased by others, having to use your brain while running, and always paying attention to the movements and situations around you is extremely expensive, and it is really not something that can be done casually.

"And what you just said, combined with what I have done in the past two days, seems to confirm one thing to a certain extent, that is, we are indeed being targeted now, and we have launched a series of actions. The previous meeting with Berisha, and the calculation of going to get things this time, are just the beginning, and the next actions may soon follow. Younis said.

"So what should we do?" I asked.

Younis shook his head, "I can't answer you right now. The safest thing for now should be evacuation. I will contact Klinger as soon as possible to discuss a solution. ”
