So John didn't want to continue fighting here anymore. Although the purpose of coming here was not achieved, compared to the dangers he was about to face, what he got was enough. More importantly, from the current situation, the Russians in front of him might not have achieved their goal. At least so far, they should not have caught anyone or Eric was likely to have fallen into their hands.

John looked at Donovan and said, "Big Bird, take your people. We are ready to leave here."

"Leave? But my people and Eric..." Before Donovan finished speaking, John raised his hand and interrupted, "I know what you are going to say. But you also heard the report just now. We cannot stay here for a long time. I will continue to look for your people and Eric, and I believe they have not fallen into the hands of the Russians."

Donovan knew in his heart what John was worried about, and also knew that John's concerns made sense. But he could not leave so easily. He looked at John and said, "I hope to give me a team of people to be responsible for staring at these Russians in the back. I have to know whether my people have fallen into their hands."

John sighed and said, "Do you want to try again?" After saying that, he said, "I can arrange for you, but you must not take them to conduct any attacks. No matter what you see," he said, looking at the ridge and said, "Actually, this mission has failed. But it is not your fault. Eric has always been making the decision. It is him who missed the best opportunity to leave Tshinvali." After saying that, he turned around and pointed to the injured member of the Man-Eater Shark Squad not far away and said, "Your mission is to be responsible for them. Exiting the mission and taking them away is what you should do most now." After saying that, he gave the others the order to alternate cover and quickly evacuate.

Donovan looked at the other members of the Man-Eater Shark Squad. Evans was still alive and his life was still uncertain. Morris was not injured, and the others were also covered in scars and embarrassed. In addition, they also threw away Jeff. They did their best and should leave here safely. Seeing that Donovan understood that even if John gave it to his own people, what if John gave it to him? The person sent to him could not follow him to do adventures. If it were him, he would not have taken the life of the entire team to save someone. So he didn't say anything, just nodded and walked towards the rest of the Man-Eater Shark Squad.

Ashraf couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he looked at the Americans who stopped attacking and began to retreat. In fact, he had no intention of fighting with the Americans here at all, and he didn't have it from the beginning. He sent the team code-named "Merry" he had just arrived and went around to the rear of the Americans just pretending to show the other party.

The reason for doing this is simply because the weasel squad on the hillside is about to be destroyed. If the "Merry" team is simply put into the frontal attack, it will not only be difficult to save the weasel squad, but will also continue to cause greater casualties. This is obviously not what Ashraf wants to see.

So he chose a method of trickery. In his opinion, he could be a commander of a mercenary. Not only was he not stupid, he should also be a person who was smarter and experienced than ordinary soldiers. What is more important is that mercenaries are more selfish and timid in their methods of doing things. Simply put, although they are professional and vicious, they actually value casualties more. Because of this, they choose simple methods to eliminate violence in order to avoid taking risks. Therefore, Ashraf believes that instead of actually playing a stance with the other party and doing a battle, it is better to act as if he wants to annihilate the other party to scare the other party. He believes that after seeing his own actions, the other party will carefully analyze and infer his intentions, and then he will take the initiative to retreat in order to avoid risks and unnecessary casualties.

At this moment, everything in front of him was proving that he had done it right. However, seeing the American Ashraf who was retreating quickly did not say goodbye to the other party easily. He also wanted to continue the show. He didn't want the other party to quickly realize that he was fooled. After all, he needed time to integrate his people and rescue and clean the battlefield. Along the way, he caused considerable casualties to the people under his own hands.

So he looked at the Americans who had begun to shrink their fronts and retreated and said to the person in charge of contact behind him: "Order the raccoon to seize the time to attack the weasels. Order the mongoose not to just watch, and launch some attacks on the Americans in moderation, and do not let them turn back easily."

"Yes!" After agreeing, the person in charge of contact said, "I just received a report from the Lynx team. They are already very close to us and will arrive in about twenty minutes."

"I know." Ashraf had no feeling about the news that his last team was about to arrive. "It would have been good if they had arrived half an hour earlier." After sighing, he continued: "Let them come over as soon as possible. The mess here just needs people to clean up together."

John on the other side naturally couldn't know, at least for a while that he wouldn't know that he was fooled by Ashraf. As Ashraf estimated, John was still very careful when retreating. In order to ensure safety, he did not withdraw the people on this side of Ashraf. He was worried that the Russians who had been blocked when he was shrinking their formation and preparing to evacuate suddenly took him off guard. So he not only did not retreat here first, but also strengthened the people. The first step to retreat was to attack some of the Russians on the hillside. After John withdrew them in an orderly manner, he quickly replenished them with ammunition, and then let them act as pioneers for retreating to the southwest. Others continued to suppress the Russians on the hillside and on the ridges to prevent them from taking advantage of the situation and killing themselves on their side condescendingly.

But in fact, the weasel squad on the hillside, including the raccoon team led by Chinnikov, had long since been out of their minds to continue fighting with the Americans in front of him. Perhaps Chinnikov still had resentment and unwillingness to try to find some things, but the situation of the weasel squad in front of him and Ashraf gave him the task that he could only forcefully swallow the resentment. While shooting, he tried to continue to lean towards the weasel. At the same time, on the southwest side, the mongoose team, who received Ashraf's instructions, launched an attack on the vanguard of the Americans who had arrived. After the mongoose team launched an attack, Ashraf directed the remaining men to start shooting violently towards the Americans' defense line, and acted as if he wanted to start attacking from here at the same time.
