Luo Zheng let the enemy pass because, firstly, he was worried he couldn't completely annihilate this group of enemies, wasting ti; secondly, he was concerned about exposure leading to endless pursuits. In Luo Zheng's dictionary, if you fight, you must fight elegantly and at least prevent the enemy from knowing your whereabouts. Descending from the soil slope, he handed the sniper rifle back to the Sniper. Luo Zheng looked at Shi Qingshan and chuckled bitterly, saying, "It seems I underestimated Kuntai, that bastard isn't an impulsive man."
"Kuntai?" Shi Qingshan asked back. Seeing Luo Zheng nod, he continued, "It's unstable inside Kuntai; it's unreasonable for him to leave the headquarters at this ti unless we cause a bigger commotion."
"Exactly," Luo Zheng agreed, then fell into thought. Shi Qingshan knew what Luo Zheng was contemplating and did not disturb him. After a while, Luo Zheng's eyes suddenly widened, a terrifying murderous intent flashed across his determined face, and he said, "Imdiately arrange for two squads to go down, line up along the dirt road below at intervals of several ters, dig foxholes, hide, and when the trucks co, strike them with grenades, using all the grenades concentratedly. One squad will lay the ambush; another squad will handle the camouflage, covering it up with branches and weeds, and make sure it isn't discovered."
"What?" Shi Qingshan was surprised by Luo Zheng's risky plan. Ambushing just a few ters from the dirt road was extrely dangerous. However, if the plan succeeded, it could indeed inflict effective damage on the enemy. Shi Qingshan's eyes lit up, decided to take the risk, and loudly took the order and went.
Luo Zheng watched the dirt road below, his expression growing solemn. Kuntai not appearing ant his internal situation was still not stable, which was good, but it spoiled his plan. Without Kuntai, he had no way to attack and infiltrate Kuntai's headquarters base, not completing the mission, and Lan Xue was still nowhere to be found.
"Consider it collecting so interest then," Luo Zheng thought helplessly, his sharp eyes reflecting a tinge of bitterness, which quickly turned firm again. His fluctuating emotions soon cald as he watched the two squads rush down the hill and couldn't help but smile. Strength lies in numbers; alone, he could never execute this tactic.
About ten minutes later, one squad quickly returned. Shi Qingshan ca to report, saluting and saying, "Commander, everything is ready. We have arranged for ten warriors, each with ten grenades. The grenades were bundled together with vines to make a cluster bomb, powerful enough to blow up the entire truck. I've checked the camouflage on top; it's flawless."
"Good, I trust my brothers' skills. You saw the ard group when they passed by just now; they didn't scout at all, rushing forward. Once they see the opium has been mostly burned in the valley, they'll probably head back. Kuntai won't let this squad stay outside given the instability, and then it will be everyone's chance to prove themselves," Luo Zheng stated sternly.
"Don't worry, the brethren know what to do. They asked to thank you for your trust and for entrusting them with such an important mission," Shi Qingshan politely said.
"Tell them to be vigilant in hiding. Completing the mission will be a great achievent. If not, our only option is to retreat," Luo Zheng instructed.
"Yes," Shi Qingshan hit his chest, took the order loudly, and went aside to relay the commands through his headset.
The squad continued to wait patiently. An hour passed, then two. They all started becoming a bit impatient, unsure if the enemy would return. However, seeing Luo Zheng standing like a pole on the soil slope, his body exuding a faint murderous aura, restrained and solemn, radiating an indomitable spirit, they all fell silent.
Ten minutes later, suddenly, a scout from upfront sent a ssage. The enemy convoy had returned, none missing. Spirits lifted among the warriors. Luo Zheng also sighed heavily in relief, finally, they had arrived. Looking up at the twilight in the sky, the last glimrs of the sunset were nearly gone, and it was about to get dark.
Shi Qingshan jogged over, looked at Luo Zheng, and waited for instructions. Luo Zheng pondered for a mont and then said, "As long as the enemy hasn't discovered our hidden n, we wait for the entire convoy to enter the encirclent before making a move. Once we move, my brothers will rush down at full speed, aiming for a quick battle."
"Yes," Shi Qingshan replied, puffing out his chest and passing on the orders.
Luo Zheng sought out the nearby sniper again to get a sniper rifle, raised it to observe the canyon ahead. Soon, a large truck ca into view, wobbling along at about thirty miles per hour, followed shortly by a second and third truck, with not much distance between them.
As the convoy entered the ambush circle without stopping for inspection or showing any caution, Luo Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. He gained a more comprehensive understanding of the combat style of these ard personnel—fearlessly brave, fierce in battle, familiar with jungle warfare, tenacious in combat, but with outdated tactics, simplistic thods, and not highly vigilant.
If he had a thousand Special Forces soldiers at his disposal, Luo Zheng was confident he could completely eliminate the Kuntai ard group. Watching the convoy getting closer, a hint of coldness erged on Luo Zheng's lips. When the first truck was about to pass through the ambush circle, Luo Zheng glanced at Shi Qingshan who was already growing impatient. Shi Qingshan, overjoyed, excitedly shouted through the headset, "Attack!"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" Ten grenades made into a cluster bomb were thrown from the woods ten ters away from the dirt road. They traced a deadly parabola in the Void and landed precisely under the truck.
"Boom, boom, boom!" A series of explosions erupted, and the power of the cluster bomb was trendous. The huge shockwave lifted the truck into the air, red flas engulfing everything, smoke billowing, and the dirt road transford into a sea of fire, with shrapnel flying chaotically.
"Kill!" Everyone charged out of their cover like tigers descending the mountain, ferociously rushing towards the canyon road, with guns raised to their shoulders, calmly observing ahead. Upon spotting any suspicious figures, they opened fire without hesitation. The warriors responsible for throwing grenades also set up their weapons, hiding in foxholes and targeting the dirt road ahead to fire.
Luo Zheng stood on the dirt mound, watching this scene calmly, with a hint of joy on his cold face. Regardless, they had claid another victory. With such a powerful explosion, it was unlikely that the convoy could have survived. Seeing the impatient Shi Qingshan, Luo Zheng couldn't help but say, "Let's go, take a look."
"Yes," Shi Qingshan replied excitedly, following closely behind Luo Zheng. He had seen the massive explosion too; all the trucks had been blown away by the cluster bombs, and those who survived couldn't withstand their charge. This battle was sure to be a victory, though it was unknown how many of the enemy were killed.
The two watched as flas burned on the dirt road ahead and bullets flew like rain. The warriors reached the vicinity of the dirt road, firing at those who were not yet completely dead. The enemy's counterattack was very weak, almost negligible. The battle was won cleverly and easily, and the gunfire gradually ceased.
When they saw Luo Zheng approach, everyone stopped, saluted him respectfully, their eyes filled with fervent admiration, a strong adoration and respect for a powerful leader. No one noticed the worry in Luo Zheng's eyes.
