Chapter 672 Shelling
Pence turned around and saw two figures running back with people on their backs, escorted by others. Pence immediately spoke, "Treat them immediately." After that, he turned his head and looked at Hassan again, "Let's send someone to reconnaissance immediately. Let's go along the road and touch the broken road. Do you have any choice?"
Just as the team of people who rushed to rescue Team 009 were discussing countermeasures, a man carrying a gun in the town quickly walked into a small courtyard near the southwest direction of the town.
In this yard, several figures were quickly erecting several mortars, and someone quickly adjusted the elevation of the muzzle through an intercom. The militant who entered the yard came to a person standing in the yard and spoke: "They were as expected. They were all concentrated on the open ground southwest outside the town."
This person is Said, who is in charge of commanding here. He nodded expressionlessly and said, "Let your people be prepared. After the shelling, launch an attack. Use those flares well. Remember what I told you, don't be anxious."
"I understand." The man responded and turned around, and quickly left the yard after looking at the mortars. Just as he had left the yard, the sound of "bang, bang" of the mortars being fired came from the yard.
These people outside the town did not realize the danger was coming. Hassan was preparing for reconnaissance operations in Pence. Suddenly, a whistling sound came from the air and exploded not far from Car No. 5.
"What is this?!" someone asked, and before the man finished speaking, another shell fell down and exploded on the east side of Car No. 6.
"Archite! Hidden! Hidden!" Pence shouted and signaled to the others. While he was signaling, more shells flew over one after another, and then a series of explosions began around Pence and the others.
This area is relatively open, and there is no other place to hide except for hiding beside the car. In addition, after the shells started, the shells quickly fell like rain. Soon the people hiding here followed the people and horses as they flew over the soil.
"Secret! Don't move around! All are hidden!" At this moment, Pence was extremely embarrassed. He looked up at the surroundings. He knew that staying in such a place was not a solution. The other party could have such high accuracy, but at night, which means that the other party had already aimed at this area and set up shooting the world. In other words, if you want to avoid being killed by the bomb, you must leave here.
Thinking of this, Pence quickly looked towards the direction of the road, and saw that Ma Wen, who was still trying to rescue the wounded, were still moving. He was not attacked around them. So he immediately turned around and looked at the people beside him and said, "Go to the roadside. Hurry! Go to the roadside. Don't stand up. Climb over, hurry!"
"But what should the wounded do?" someone asked loudly.
"Go ahead first." Pence can't care about so much at this moment. Every extra second here may make him lose one or even more people. "Captain Hassan. Take your people to the side of the road. We cannot be beaten passively like this. We have to fight back, at least we can't continue like this."
The Iraqi captain didn't say much, and at this moment he was thinking about leaving this open area quickly. As for the attack on the town later, let's talk about it.
"Captain, our car cannot be left behind. They have important uses for us." A man leaning against the jeep beside Pence shouted.
Pence immediately looked at these cars. These cars were of course important to him. Not only did they have machine guns, but they were also bulletproof and could be used as bunkers or even armored vehicles at critical moments. This plays an extremely important role in subsequent operations. If they are left behind, they will be lost. Then, not to mention the battle in the future, even without the battle, it will be difficult for them to reach Alsabad. After all, you can't run with two legs, right?
"Drive them back. Don't stand there. Drive back to the side of the road." Pence shouted.
With his order, several Hummers immediately started to move and drove quickly to the side of the road. However, without seeing how far, a shell hit the roof of Car No. 5. The violent explosion was like a huge fist punching the Hummer Jeep from top to bottom, causing him to explode and disintegrate directly from front, back, left and right sides.
The explosion and this scene made Pence stunned for a moment, a little at a loss, but the vibration from the ground was soon awakened by the explosion. He shouted, "Don't stand there! Speed up! Hurry up!"
On the edge of the town, a militant responsible for observation and surveillance was watching the Americans and Iraqi government forces quickly retreating to the roadside, while picking up the intercom report: "They returned to the highway. Repeat them back to the highway."
Said in the town chuckled when he heard the sound from the walkie-talkie and immediately said to the people around him: "Stop the shelling. Save ammunition and let them move. There is still a time to play a big role later. Also, prepare the people in the south and keep their eyes wide. The Americans will probably not take long to launch an attack."
"I understand." The people around Said immediately contacted him after agreeing.
Just as the rescue team and Mosul were attacked one after another, Pete brought Ailly, Bobcats and William to the residential area on the south side. He pointed to the rows of buildings and said, "These buildings are our bunkers. Because the terrain on the west side is unfavorable, these people should go around the south side to enter this area. In other words, we mainly place them in the middle rows, including the buildings going east." Pete said and pointed to the east.
"We are too few people." said the Bobcat. "After the fight starts, we will be surrounded and surrounded."
"So we can't get too close." Pete pointed to the row of corridors in front of us. The two teams must coordinate with each other and support each other. When one side is surrounded, the other team must come and support them, pick them up, or control the evacuation passage for them."
"But in this case, the other party might intersperse through the gap between our two teams and then divide and surround us." Ailly said.
