Chapter 32: Luring the Enemy into an Ambush (Part 1)

  Xu Ming gave a look of appreciation and encouraged Gren to say: "Not bad, Gren has a good tactical eye. Then where do you think we should set up an ambush?"

  Glen furrowed his brow, scanning the entire map, pointing to one place and saying: "Here, here's a high point with limited visibility, behind is a cliff, the range of fire suppression can be fully controlled, an ambush can be laid. Even if they launch a strong attack, they won't be able to break through Caruso's machine gun sweep."

  Xu Ming smiled and patted Gren's shoulder, saying: "Not bad, but the position you've chosen is not only far from the enemy, making it hard to lure them in. Even if we succeed in luring them in, they'll be caught off guard and suffer heavy losses. But what if they react quickly and surround us without attacking? Then we'll have to think of a way to break through."

  "Unbelievable? They're just a mob...." Gren said with some discontent, arguing, "Should be...shouldn't the boss be this clever?"

  Xu Ming gave him a cold glance, and Grendon suddenly didn't dare make another sound.

  "I think I need to remind you again, we can despise the enemy strategically, but we must take the enemy seriously tactically. Underestimating the enemy is a taboo on the battlefield." Xu Ming's voice turned cold and stern, "Lion is not an ordinary person, he has planned multiple terrorist attacks and has also dealt with the military. And what about us? In terms of combat experience, he is richer than us, and I don't think I can surpass him in tactics."

  Xu Ming pointed to the ambush location he had set up earlier and said, "This ambush location, I've already mentioned it before, is not suitable for an ambush. Grenn is very clever and quickly pointed out our disadvantages, which is good. But you didn't see our advantages, once the enemy launches a strong attack, we can withdraw in the shortest time."

  "We are few in number, but highly mobile. With such a large forest, once we retreat, they won't be able to catch up with us. This way, the initiative is in our hands, whether to fight or not is up to us. I just want to use this guerrilla warfare, and they will be worn out."

  "Great!" Caruso clapped his hands and gave Xu Ming a thumbs up, saying: "The boss is really awesome, so cool! This tactic is flawless."

  Glen also lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Sorry, boss, I was wrong."

  Xu Ming patted Glen's shoulder and said with a smile: "Actually, you didn't do anything wrong. You're not the commander, I am. As the commander, I have to take responsibility for every single life under my command. But I still want to remind everyone that we can never underestimate our enemy at any time, or the price will be too high. This is a price we cannot afford."

  "Now the division of labor is clear, Kap and I are in charge of luring the enemy, my sniper rifle, Kap's crossbow, high mobility and concealment, not easy to be discovered. The others rush to the ambush point, clearing out any possible enemies there, all solved with knives. If the other side has many people, we can open fire, when we hear the gunfire, we will converge with you, and plan the next step, understand?"

  "Understood." Everyone's voice was in unison, but Maya kept staring at Xu Ming, tightly gripping the AK74 in her hand.

  Xu Ming stroked Maya's cheek and said softly, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

  Others quickly turned their faces away, watching the boss flirt with the beauty was not something a subordinate should do.

  "Cough, cough." Xu Ming realized there were many people around and cleared his throat twice before continuing, "Before I return, Maya will be in charge of the entire team, Harry will assist her, and Glen will be responsible for ambushes based on terrain. Any questions?"

  "No problem." Everyone replied in unison, although Xu Ming had a reputation for being nepotistic, no one had any objections at this time. Anyone would have done the same thing if they were in his shoes.

  "Then act."

  Xu Ming made a hand gesture, letting Kapo come down, while Maya had already led the others to retreat with caution. Xu Ming briefly told Kapo about the plan, and Kapo naturally did not object.

  The two of them quietly made their way towards the water source, and after just over ten minutes of walking, Kap saw people patrolling back and forth in twos and threes, with a look of vigilance on their faces.

  "Be on high alert, there's someone in the tree." Kapur signed to Xu Ming, who nodded. He took out his sniper rifle and looked up at the tree, and indeed, someone was hiding among the vines, but their gun barrels were pointing inward.

  Xu Ming was perplexed. How could the guards have their guns pointed inward? Was there an internal conflict? No, if that were the case, they would have taken action long ago.

  Isn't it hunting?!

  Xu Ming's eyes lit up and he made a hand gesture towards Kapur, "Count the number of people, calculate the position."

  Kap nodded and poked his head out to look around before reporting back to Xu Ming.

  "Three people at 7 o'clock, two people at 9 o'clock, two people on the tree, one on the third big tree to the right at 2 o'clock and one on the sixth big tree to the left at 3 o'clock."

  There were seven people in total, no big deal. Xu Ming used a sniper rifle to calculate the distance to the target, which was about 500 meters away, already beyond the range of the crossbow.

  Xu Ming carefully observed the surrounding environment, and next to a large tree on the left side, there was a dense bush that was suitable for hiding, but if someone on the tree turned their head back, they would definitely be able to see.

  Xu Ming thought they were out hunting, not regular troops, just ordinary terrorists without strong discipline. They must have been on guard for a while, but at this moment they happened to be hunting, and their attention was not focused here.

  Xu Ming made a gesture to Kap, letting Kap sneak over and take out the hidden sentry in the tree first. The branches here were very thick, even if someone died, they wouldn't fall down.

  Wait a moment, watching him fire, and then take care of the two people in the nine o'clock direction. Then Xu Ming gave her another careful hand gesture, Kapu smiled slightly, and his figure flashed into the bushes.

  Xu Ming shouldered the sniper rifle, aiming at the sentry hiding behind a large tree on the left. Although the vines blocked his view, he could still see the man's head clearly, especially since he was in a state of high concentration, making him an almost living target.

  As soon as he turns around, Xu Ming will shoot at the first opportunity. Anyway, the original plan was to lure the enemy, and even if they scare away the snake, it's just a little less enticing.

  Xu Ming's judgment was not wrong, they were not the army. Kapu smoothly circled to the designated bush, and without hesitation, shot an arrow that hit the throat of the hidden sentry in the tree.

  That dark guard didn't make a sound before he died, his eyes wide open, and he fell softly on the tree stump, with the gun in his hand tangled in the vines.

  None of this has caught anyone's attention.

  Kapoor made an "OK" gesture towards Xu Ming, and Xu Ming gave her a thumbs up from afar, aiming the sniper rifle at another large tree with a hidden sentry.

  For those with some military knowledge, it is clear that the first thing to control is the high ground.

  Kapur's success can be said to have a lucky element, and it may not be so lucky next time.

  Bang Bang

  Gunshots rang out in the woods, they started hunting, and the opportunity had come.
