Chapter 670: Crossfire
"Leave the road!" Captain Pence was not a newcomer, nor was he a new recruit. He immediately picked up the intercom and shouted, "Leave the road all." He thought that his convoy was in a marching formation at the moment. If he stopped on the road, he could only be passively beaten. And the other party used this road as a reference to shoot in this area, and he would be very likely to hit. So he had to leave here first, quickly hide in the darkness and then stabilize his position and launch a counterattack. However, the militants in the ambushed Shad town obviously expected the reaction they made. Just after the first rocket exploded, the other two rockets flew out from the dark places on both sides of the road ahead.
"Rocket! Rocket! Pay attention to the explosion impact!" Just as someone shouted like this, two rockets flew into the area where the convoy was located. One of them hit the rear of a Hummer. The power generated by the explosion lifted the car directly from the ground and then fell heavily to the ground. After landing, the rear of the car had already disappeared, and the two rear wheels had long disappeared. The car itself also lost control and soon crossed the side of the road.
The other one was in a bad state and hit the right side of the road, which was near the east side. "Car No. 2, Car No. 2 and the others are finished. We have to fight back! Counterattack!"
"No. 1! There should be someone alive in car No. 1!"
"Car No. 4 follows me." Pence shouted and turned to look forward. He saw that in the town, someone began to shoot at them. However, because it was night, his head was not high, and many bullets were hitting the No. 1 and No. 2 that had already started to burn. And he saw someone staggering out of the No. 2 car, and after leaving the car, he fell to the ground.
"Prepare to counterattack. The machine gun is fighting back!" Captain Pence couldn't help it. He shouted at the people around him while holding the walkie-talkie, "Suppress them. Car No. 5 and Car No. 6, people in the car got off the car immediately after leaving the road and the people were deployed in the west. Let's rescue the people first!"
After receiving the instructions from Pence, the team of US soldiers immediately took action. Soon the machine guns of two Hummers fired, and the bullets hit directly behind the dugout road. However, the fierce shooting also helped the other party mark the target in the dark.
Those who fired the gun quickly transferred the target of the shooting, and soon after, bullets hit the Hummers that had already left the road. Fortunately, these Hummers are bulletproof, and the attack of such ordinary bullets cannot cause substantial damage at all. At the same time, the No. 5 and No. 6, who were behind the convoy, quickly accelerated their speed under the cover of companions' vehicles. After leaving the road, they drove towards the town. After leaving the opponent's shooting boundary, someone immediately controlled the machine gun and aimed at the area near the road on the edge of the town.
"Make a line of defense! Make a line of defense." Pence saw that vehicles No. 5 and No. 6 arrived at the scheduled position and immediately shouted with the intercom, "Prepare for cover, prepare for cover." Just as he shouted, the person operating the machine gun on the roof of the car shouted: "Captain, there are two moving in the No. 2 car. They need help!"
Pence turned his head and looked at the other vehicles that had already left the road and said, "Go and meet with No. 5 and No. 6 first. Everyone is ready to get off the car." After that, he looked at a person beside him and said, "Ma Wen! Take your shift over later and bring the injured back."
The man named Ma Wen looked very nervous with his gun in his arms, but he nodded and said, "I understand. As he said that, he said to the people around him: "Follow me closely after a while. Don't run around. Follow me closely."
Cars No. 3 and No. 4 soon drove behind Cars No. 5 and No. 6, which had already stopped. After the car stopped, the people on Cars No. 3 and No. 4 were also controlling the machine guns, and everyone else got out of the car one after another. Pence hid behind his Hummer and looked at the road. At this moment, it was about one or two hundred meters away. The focus of the opponent's attack was no longer there, but was placed on Cars No. 5 and No. 6, which were covering.
"Mawin." Pence called the man who brought the wounded back to his side, "They are attacking us now. You take the people quietly. Don't be busy saving people after going there. First, see how many people are alive. If there are still living people in the car, bring the people out of the car first. Then transport them here. Do you understand? Also, report to me immediately after going over."
"I understand!" Ma Wen turned around and motioned to the four people behind him. After seeing Pence's gesture, the five people immediately ran towards the destroyed car No. 1 and car No. 2.
Pence behind was watching both sides nervously. What he feared most was that Ma Wen and his men were attacked after they arrived on the roadside. Or someone had already followed out of the dugout road and found Ma Wen and the others. Fortunately, Ma Wen and his people arrived at the side of the car smoothly. After observing for a while, they checked the person who drove them as Pence told.
"Sir." Ma Wen's voice came from the intercom.
"Mawin, how about it?" Pence asked immediately.
"The two people outside the car are alive. There seem to be two wounded people in the car and the injuries may be serious. The others seem to be dead." Ma Wen said.
"Okay. Go and see the car No. 1. Be careful and send two people to see first. The others will keep their eyes wide and pay attention to cover." Pence said.
"I understand." After Ma Wen agreed, two figures immediately moved towards Car No. 1. At the same time, Pence looked to the northwest, which was where the Iraqis who had been traveling with him were still fighting.
"Hasan! Can Captain Hassan hear it? Please answer if you hear it!" Pence called again, "Captain Hassan, please answer if you hear it?!"
"I am...I am Hassan." Finally, Hassan's voice came after two calls, but before Pence asked about his situation, the Iraqi continued: "We are retreating. There is no way to pass here. The town is full of their people."
"Are you sure?" Pence asked without waiting for his answer, "How is your loss?"
"I'm sure. This must be the blocking point they set. They want to block us here." Hassan said.
"Get back to me immediately," Pence said: "I have reached the west side of the road and formed a line of defense. Let the people down first and meet with me."
"Ming...understand."
