Chapter 654 Dilemma
"Is there no news yet?" Pete turned his head anxiously and looked at the direction where Faiz left, because based on his experience, such an attack should be no longer as simple as a cold gun and a cold cannon. At first, the explosion not only caused a heavy blow to the target of the attack, but also a signal of the attack. Now it is completely dark, and the night can provide them with the best cover. Who knows if there are ambushers in other places besides the accidents there? After all, these attackers will not be unaware of the general situation here. Perhaps they are trying to get out of their base and rush to support the people.
Just as Pete looked back and didn't see Faiz and was about to go over to ask, two explosions suddenly came from the southeast direction. After the explosion, it became even more violent, and accompanied by the sound of a heavy machine gun.
"Is this the Iraq War broke out in full swing again?" Morris, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, became nervous again. He turned his head and looked at the armored vehicles parked on the side of the road and shouted: "Captain Fayz! What exactly happened?"
Fayz did not answer, and Pitt said: "He must not be able to figure it out now. It is not his own. I guess he still has to contact Mosul, report the situation here, and then follow the instructions there."
Donovan nodded when he heard what Pete said, but the gunshots over there made him feel a little unable to sit still. He turned around and walked quickly towards the armored vehicle parked on the side of the road. However, before he walked far, Faiz had already walked over.
"Everyone, calm down." Fayiz said as he raised his hand and pressed down.
"What the hell is going on there? What's going on outside?" Morris asked anxiously.
Faiz glanced at Morris and said, "The situation is in control now. Our task now is to stay here."
"It's under control." Matt looked at the southeast direction without much belief. When he looked over, he suddenly flashed in the sky in the southeast direction, and then another violent explosion came.
The explosion was so violent that the person watching unconsciously took a step back half a step, and at the same time, he could clearly feel the vibration coming from his feet.
"Damn!" Matt yelled after taking a step back in fear: "What is this? Are you really sure what is going on outside is being controlled?"
"Calm down on Matt!" Donovan looked at Matt and shouted loudly before saying to Faiz: "Are you contacting Major Magistone in Mosul?"
"Yes. It's him." Just as Faiz nodded in agreement, the old prison guard who was invited to introduce the situation to the 009 team suddenly said something to Faiz.
Fayiz glanced at him and said something impatiently. The old prison guard shook his head and looked very persistent.
"What did he say?" Donovan asked immediately.
"He said he was going home." Faiz said immediately: "I said it's not safe outside now, and this is the best place. But he said that there are family members at home, his wife and grandson at home, and he must go back and accompany them."
"He should go home." Donovan immediately said when he heard Faiz's words, "He did it right. Please help him to leave here."
"But it's not safe outside now." Faiz immediately refused: "The person who sent him away is likely to be attacked."
Morris glanced at Faiz and said dissatisfiedly: "You were still on the highway just now, and we are under control. Now it is very dangerous to even walk out of here? Who controls the situation?"
Although the old jailer on the side couldn't understand, it could be seen from the tone and expressions of both sides that he was arguing. He spoke a few more words. Donovan raised his hand and said, "What did he say?"
Fayiz turned to look at the old prison guard, and after saying a few words to him, "He said he could leave by himself. No one needed to send him away."
Donovan looked at Faiz in disappointment and nodded, "Then let him leave." After saying that, he turned to look at the bobcat and said, "Go to the car to get some food and give it to him." After saying that, he looked at Faiz and said, "Tell him that we will give him some food as a gift, and go back to his family, so that they will not go out."
The bobcat immediately took action when he heard Donovan's order. After hearing Faiz's translation, the old prison guard said thanks a few times. This expression made Pete feel uncomfortable. After all, it was not a close relationship for each other. It was actually more appropriate to say that it was an enemy, but at this moment it was like this. This made him shook his head helplessly and turned to look at the southeast direction where the intensity of the fire exchange was really increasing rapidly.
Judging from the situation there, it is difficult for individuals to believe that the situation is under control. Because from the gunshots, one can hear that the offensive of the Kalashnikov rifle is becoming more and more fierce, and it is not the explosion that comes, but also that these people are using rockets or some other explosives. In other words, the situation of the people attacked should be very difficult at this moment.
"Should we return to prison?" Pete looked at Donovan and said, "We should probably move the equipment and supplies in the car down and be prepared."
Just as Pete finished speaking, the bobcat walked out with a bag full of canned dry food they brought and handed it to the old prison guard. The old prison guard was not polite, and after reaching out to take the bag, he thanked him and said a few words to Fayiz. But at this moment, the Iraqis stationed here all started to move.
While people kept shouting loudly, people kept running towards the open space in front of the prison gate, and some ran to the vehicles parked on the side of the road to start all the cars.
"They are gathering. This is going to take action." Morris said immediately.
Faiz didn't seem to know what was going on. He stopped an Iraqi soldier who ran past him and asked a few questions. After hearing the soldier answered twice quickly, he quickly ran away to gather. Faiz didn't wait for the others to ask himself, "They should be going to the southeast of the city to support the Americans there."
"Are you sure?" Morris said with surprise: "How many Americans are there? Need them to support?"
"About sixty or seventy people," said Fayz.
"Wait." Donovan immediately looked at Faiz and said with a puzzled look: "Sixty or seventy people? My previous news was that there were US soldiers stationed in a company here. Why are there only sixty or seventy people now? What about the others?"
"Don't be excited." Faiz tried to stabilize Donovan's mood and then said: "Other people should be at checkpoints or checkpoints everywhere in this city. There are US soldiers in these places, so it is impossible for them to be at the base."
