Everyone is in their holes, in their dugouts. Only two people were standing in front of us - it was daytime. Around two or three o'clock the assault began: a tank, a motorbike, and, probably, at least 30 people came at us. This is just what I saw.
The guys tried to shoot back, but I immediately said that there was no point - either we roll back or give up. The guys tried to fight back, they were killed in literally half an hour, maybe even in less than half an hour. It's just the two of us left. We gave up."
