Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 404 Ambush
About ten kilometers north of Mengdan Town.

This is a mountainous area.

There is a dirt road winding northward between several mountains, which is the closest road to the northern border.

If you want to return to China, this is a shortcut.

The car had been abandoned before entering the mountains. Now Song Heping and several of his men planned to walk over the mountains and return to the country. He and Lei Gong had already agreed to meet somewhere on the border.

Now, this place is about seventy kilometers away from the meeting point.

He looked at his watch.

If everything goes well, Jing Wengui would have brought Joyce into the Mekong River Basin.

But that's not safe yet.

Because it is still in the Golden Triangle area and within the sphere of influence of the local ethnic armed organizations.

Once it is discovered that Joyce is on that cargo ship, the militia organizations and the local white-faced group will probably send speedboats to chase him, and Jing Wengui and the people on the ship will be unsafe.

What Song Heping must do now is to make the Baimian Group and the Mindiwu believe that he is going back to the country by land and attract all the attention to himself.

This place would be very suitable for an ambush - there is a road in the middle, surrounded by mountains on three sides. You can adopt a hit-and-run approach and tear off a piece of flesh from the pursuing militants. When they feel pain, they will naturally chase you for revenge, which is like a fish taking the hook.

After observing the one below, Song Heping said to everyone, "Once they come out of Mengdan Town, they will definitely search and pursue us along this road. The hunters will be responsible for providing long-range firepower from the mountain to the north, even from the sniper point. I, the disaster star, the white bear, and the gray wolf will be deployed in the northwest and northeast directions respectively. Once they are in the trap, we will immediately give them a surprise. But remember, don't fight to the death, and retreat according to my orders."

"no problem!"

The others answered in unison.

The hunter couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure they will take this route?"

Song Heping said confidently, "Of course, this is a shortcut to retreat northward back to China. They now believe that this attack was carried out by Chinese special forces. They must want to capture or kill a few people before we retreat back to the country, and then use them as evidence to cause trouble. Now, all the towns and regular roads from here to China must have been set up with checkpoints. Normal people would choose to go back through the mountains and mountain roads. So, after they come out of Mengdan Town, they will definitely search along this road, and our goal is to attract them."

Gray Wolf said, "I wonder how many pursuers there will be..."

Song Heping said, "Don't worry about the number. Don't fight to the death. Just run away after the fight. It won't matter if they have more people than us in the jungle. As long as they can't catch up with us, it's fine. Set up an ambush. Start quickly. Don't waste time. They will arrive soon."

The three groups immediately dispersed and entered their respective positions according to Song Heping's arrangements.

Before taking their respective positions, White Bear and Disaster Star scattered all the butterfly mines in their backpacks on the road, and also took out the corresponding small anti-personnel mines and directional mines, making a small trap minefield facing the enemy.

After the mines were laid, everyone returned to their respective hiding positions.

After Song Heping entered the ambush point in the northeast, he spoke again in the channel: "Brothers, they will definitely send a lot of people to hunt us down this time. Be careful. Good luck to everyone. Are all the teams in place? Over."

"In position, ready for battle. Over."

"Ready for battle, on standby, over."

The hunter and gray wolf team quickly responded.

Song Heping said, "OK, make sure the channel is open, over."

The pre-war preparations have been thoroughly completed, and all that remains is to wait and see.

On the mountain due north, the hunter covered his head with a field scarf, leaving only his eyes exposed. He placed a pair of observation glasses next to him to make it easier to observe the situation on the road in the distance.

He is now about 500 meters away from the minefield. At this distance, the SVD sniper rifle has enough range.

Song Heping and Zaixing found a protruding rock on the northeast hillside as an ambush position, and each of them set up a gun.

They were less than 150 meters away from the minefield.

The triggering of a mine by the pursuit team is the signal for the operation to begin.

Therefore, the attack distance is based on the distance between yourself and the minefield.

Ambushing in the wilderness is a very boring thing. It is pitch black all around, with only the chirping of insects and the lonely howling of unknown wild beasts in the distance. The most disgusting thing is those little bugs, which often land on your body and bite any exposed skin.

The air in the jungle was unusually fresh, and the mountain road was still quiet. I waited for a full half hour, but there was no one on the road.

"Boss, it's been half an hour, why haven't we seen anyone yet? Did we choose the wrong place?" The hunter finally couldn't help but raise his question in the channel.

Mengdan Town is more than ten kilometers away from here. If they really wanted to chase us, the militants from the ethnic minority groups should have been here long ago. It is impossible that we haven't seen them for so long.

"Wait another ten minutes. If no one comes, we'll retreat."

When Song Heping was asked this by the hunter, he began to have doubts in his heart.

He chose this place based on his tactical prediction of the armed personnel of the ethnic militia. Normally, the other party would have thought that they were retreating along this route, and there was no reason for them to choose other routes to search.

Could it be that I made a mistake in my judgment?

"This is too much of a delay..."

The hunter wanted to tell Song Heping that doing so would waste too much time. It would be better not to wait for ten more minutes. Forty minutes would allow him to walk a long way.

Before he could finish his words, he saw two men holding automatic rifles suddenly appear in his field of vision through the observation mirror.

"Someone!"

The hunter's spirits suddenly lifted.

"Boss, someone is really coming from the south!"

Song Heping quickly picked up the telescope and looked towards the south.

He saw the two men. Although he couldn't see them clearly, he could still tell that they were fully armed soldiers and obviously well trained.

The two men walked lightly along the mountain road, quietly and without making any sound, like two ghosts from the darkness. They took turns leaping forward, relying on the trees and grass on the roadside. Their movements were extremely flexible, as agile as monkeys.

Song Heping warned in the channel: "They are probably two scouts. The main force is probably behind them. Don't kill these two guys, wait for the big fish."

"no problem."

"OK!"

Everyone responded.

and so on.

Can only wait.

The biggest worry now is that these two people will trigger the landmine.

That would be a huge loss, and the large force behind would definitely be alert.

"If they trigger a mine, we should retreat. We won't wait any longer. The people behind us will definitely come up to clear the mines, and our surprise attack will be ineffective."

The two men in black walked to the center of the three-way intersection and suddenly stopped not far from the minefield. They hid in the grass by the roadside and seemed to have disappeared.

"Damn, that's pretty clever..."

Song Heping glanced at the other person.

The military quality of the ethnic armed groups is not that bad, at least they are not a mob.

These two guys must be hiding in the grass or behind the trees, observing what's going on.

The location here is dangerous. I guess they also feel the danger, so they are very cautious.

He realized that these two scouts were not simple and they might really notice some clues.

Everyone was tense.

Disaster Star whispered, "Boss, I saw him hiding behind the tree. I can kill him with a sweep."

Song Heping said: "Don't be impulsive, keep calm, otherwise you won't be able to eat meat."

　Asking for a monthly ticket!
