On the rugged mountain road, more than 20 military vehicles were lined up in a row, driving slowly with their snow-white headlights on.
Because the mountain road was difficult to drive on, the tires of the cars were covered in mud, and the suspension vibrated up and down, making constant squeaking sounds, which greatly reduced the speed of the convoy.
Ni Huan carefully observed the convoy through a night vision telescope and reported in an orderly manner: "There are six off-road vehicles, five armed pickup trucks, seven troop carriers, and four machine guns. No other heavy firepower has been found for the time being."
Yuan Biao also held a telescope and stared at the marching convoy without saying a word.
The convoy moved slowly, getting closer and closer to their ambush point.
Ni Huan glanced at Yuan Biao's expression, picked up the intercom and ordered: "Demolition team, prepare to detonate! Other units, please pay attention, follow the blasting team..."
“Bang!”
Before he could finish his words, Yuan Biao suddenly reached out and snatched the walkie-talkie from his hand.
Ni Huan was stunned for a moment and looked at him subconsciously.
Yuan Biao held the intercom and said in a very firm tone: "Attention, all units, stop the action. Four assault teams, the front team becomes the back team, and withdraw in order. The cover team is responsible for vigilance and covering the blasting team's retreat! Everyone, withdraw from the battlefield silently within three minutes, hurry up!"
There was silence on the communication channel for a few seconds, and everyone responded.
"Demolition team received!"
"Assault Team One received!"
"Assault Team 2..."
Although everyone was a little surprised at Yuan Biao's sudden order to retreat, no one raised any questions, and the execution was very strong.
In just three minutes, all the teams quickly withdrew from the battlefield under the cover of darkness.
Yuan Biao led a 20-man assault team and also crouched down and evacuated to the rear. Ni Huan followed him and couldn't help but whispered, "What's going on? Why are you retreating all of a sudden?"
Yuan Biao waved his hand at him: "Retreat first, we'll talk later."
Ni Huan didn't ask any more questions and just followed him to continue evacuating.
Behind him, a convoy of more than 20 vehicles continued to drive safely along the mountain road.
…
After more than ten minutes, all the teams had completed their retreat and dispersed.
Yuan Biao led the commandos and continued to move silently through the dense forest, far away from the ambush point.
After they were safe, Ni Huan looked at him and asked again, "What happened? Is there something wrong?"
Yuan Biao did not slow down at all and replied in a low voice: "It's all right, but I just don't want to do it."
This inexplicable sentence would definitely make others confused. But Ni Huan and Yuan Biao have known each other for many years and understand his cautious character. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Are you thinking too much?"
Yuan Biao then expressed his inner thoughts: "Before Zhou Tonghui was captured, our identities must have been exposed long ago. Now, we have occupied such a natural ambush point, and the enemy's troops are just within our control... Everything makes me feel too comfortable. I have been in this business for so many years, and I never believed that your opponent would create such a comfortable combat environment for you."
"No problem with evacuation, I agree." Ni Huan pondered for a moment and couldn't help reminding Yuan Biao: "But first, we will lose the opportunity to ambush target number two. Second, who is our next target?"
"I just received a message to change the target!" Yuan Biao said, looking down at his watch and estimating the time: "At four o'clock in the morning, the enemy will be exhausted and we can just get there."
Ni Huan was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The two men finished their conversation and continued on their way. The ambush team of 100 people continued to move in a dispersed manner.
Each team did not know each other's location, and only Yuan Biao could contact them.
…
Two hours later, more than 20 military vehicles continued to drive steadily on the rugged mountain road and almost arrived at the camp where the headquarters was located.
An Zecheng sat in one of the military vehicles, looking at the familiar scenery outside, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
The head of the guard turned around and said to him in confusion: "Commander, we are almost there, why is there no movement? The helicopter formation from Bana City has escorted us all the way, should we notify them and ask them to withdraw first?"
An Zecheng said nothing.
The head of the guard thought for a moment and asked again, "Is it possible that Commander Su's intelligence is wrong?"
An Zecheng pondered for a while, then ordered, "Inform Xiaoyu of our situation. Everything else remains the same, and do not change any of his plans."
"Yes!" The guard captain nodded and immediately began to contact Su Tianyu.
…
The front-line command position of the Lao-Mexican coalition forces.
Su Tianyu and Gu Baishun were sitting in the command center, waiting for news.
Three minutes ago, they received a notification from Anze City and an inquiry from the Bana City helicopter formation.
Hearing these reports, Gu Baishun frowned and asked in confusion: "Isn't their target the main leader? Are we going in the wrong direction?"
Su Tianyu lowered his head in thought without saying a word.
Gu Baishun thought about it and couldn't help but say: "If the direction is wrong, we must adjust in time and not let the enemy take advantage of it."
Su Tianyu waved his hand: "I still think that we should not be too anxious. Contact Bana City and 048 immediately, right now!"
Gu Baishun nodded: "Okay, I'll contact you right away."
Su Tianyu sat there and fell into silence. Although the bait had been put down, there was no news from the outside, but he had a strong intuition in his heart... Something must happen tonight.
Especially after Zhou Tonghui's incident, the internal infiltration and arrest could not be judged by common sense, because both the other party and ourselves were already alert to a certain extent.
After thinking for a long time, Su Tianyu took out his cell phone, dialed a number, and said directly: "Take your men and withdraw from the return convoy immediately."
The other party paused for a moment, then asked, "I'm leaving now, what if something goes wrong?"
Su Tianyu replied: "I think the problem is no longer there. For the next thing, the helicopter formation will be enough."
The other party said, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Su Tianyu turned around and started chatting with Gu Baishun in a low voice.
…
At around 1:30 in the morning, the two military vehicles returned to the vicinity of Hill 048. With the help of a guard company of the garrison, all the supplies on the vehicles were moved away.
At the same time, in the command room of the camp, Tan Hengqiang sat on a chair, looking at the staff beside him, and asked softly: "Is there any movement over there, Lao An?"
A staff officer shook his head: "Not yet, maybe the information is wrong."
