At ten o'clock in the evening, John and I got into a car with our weapons and equipment on our backs, two axes, and John drove away from Pablo's estate and headed east.

John and I took turns for a day and a night, and the morning after we set off, John stopped by the bank of a river where two cars were parked before we arrived, and I saw that Córdoba was already talking around with people. When they saw us coming, they stopped laughing and came around us.

John and I got out of the car, I stretched, and John walked straight towards Córdoba and said, "All the people are here?" ”

Córdoba nodded, "That's it." What are we going to do next? ”

John looked around at the men and saw a man with an SVD sniper rifle on his back: "What's his name?" ”

"Pinto. Mr. My name is Pinto. The man with the sniper rifle looked at John and said.

John seemed to be satisfied with this man's attitude and nodded, "Have you ever fought?" ”

The man nodded again, "Yes." At that time I was serving in the government army. ”

"Fighting guerrillas?"

"Yes sir. It was the guerrillas who were fighting. "This man should be there again.

"Good. You follow me in a moment. John looked at Códoba after speaking, "The others have you with you." What did you just ask me? ”

"What are we going to do next? Do you go straight to the trading location? Córdoba asked.

"Nope. We don't go to the place of trade. John shook his head as he took the backpack and weaponry I handed over.

"So where are we going?" Cordoba asked slightly dissatisfied.

John glanced at Códoba and said, "Don't forget your own assurance yesterday that you are here to listen to my command and not to come here to ask questions like a reporter." ”

When Córdoba saw John say this, he had to stop talking and wait for John's next words. John looked at him and laughed, "But I can tell you this time, because we're going to do it right away." That's the one who ambushed the guerrillas who came to trade. ”

"They're going to go from around here?" Cordoba asked excitedly, but instead of answering, John glanced at him and continued along the river to the east, into the woods.

"What the hell are you going to do?" I asked as I went, and I asked because I felt a little bottomless to go with these ten people who didn't know anything about ambushing people who weren't going to be fewer than us.

John seemed to know my concerns, and he smiled and said, "Don't worry. This time the plan is quite well planned, we will be at the ambush site soon, and you will understand by then. ”

We entered the woods and walked north-easterly along the river for a morning, and in the afternoon we saw a small path through the woods.

"Stop." John raised his hand as he spoke, then took out the compass and the map and looked at it for a moment, then looked at everyone and said, "Here we are." The people we ambush will use this road to get to the trading place. Probably." He looked at his watch, "I'll pass by here at about three or four o'clock in the afternoon." ”

Córdoba glanced at John and said, "We're ambushing here?" ”

"What do you think?" John asked rhetorically, "Take someone around." See what is on either side of the road that is conducive to ambushes. He looked at me and said, "Gypsy, take Pinto with you and find a suitable place for sniping, and then he will be the one to fire the first shot." ”

"Understood." I said yes, looked around, and walked southeast along the road. It stands to reason that the ambush should be in a condescending place, and it is a place where the view is relatively open for the high place, but this does not meet such a requirement. The terrain on both sides of the road is gentle, and they are all next to the woods, and the view is not good. It wasn't until I walked about a kilometer that I realized that the road had a relatively curved bend in the forest.

The curve was like a reversed U-shape, and I looked back at Pinto and pointed to the curve, "What do you think of it?" ”

Pinto looked around and said in English that he wasn't proficient in, "Better than other places." ”

I nodded, and I decided to set the ambush with John here. Although those two conditions are not met here, this curve can make it difficult for the people in the car to echo each other when the convoy is attacked, and the people in the front position of the car will not even be able to see what is happening in the parking space, because of the U-shape, their view will be separated by the woods, and it also magnifies the area where they will be attacked.

When John and the others were brought back by me, John took a look at the surrounding terrain and immediately decided to ambush the guerrilla convoy here. He gathered everyone over, then looked at Pinto, who was holding a sniper rifle, and said, "You are in ambush at the exit corner, and your first kill target is the man in the cab of the first car of the convoy." ”

"Understood." Pinto nodded.

John turned his head and took out the two axes he had brought from his backpack and handed them to Códobba, "Chop two trees across the middle of the road, and remember to make sure that the guarantee car can't drive through." ”

Cordoba took the axe and handed it to the man beside him: "Do you want to move some more stones?" ”

"No, it's too obvious to move stones, don't put down two trees too neatly, even if the other party feels that something is wrong, they won't immediately turn the car around and go back." John said and pointed to the right side of the road, placing three men on each side of the bend, and the rest ambushed at the entrance of the bend to ensure that the last car could not turn back. Do you understand everything? ”

"Understood!" Córdoba took the lead.

John nodded and glanced at everyone, "Remember not to fire at the same time, the person on the right starts shooting after Pinto shoots, mainly hitting the opposing person, try not to break the car." When the people in the convoy dodged to the left, the people on the left started shooting again. And the people at the entrance, while making sure that the last car of the opposing party cannot turn around, take out those who try to run back. ”

"Understood." Everyone said they understood.

"Gypsies. You are in peace. I go to the right side, Córdoba you are in charge of the left side. The entrance is arranged by you who is responsible. ”

Cordoba nodded and said, "Understood, there is no problem." ”

"Good. So let's get moving. John looked at his watch, "The other team's convoy may arrive soon." Remember the last time I said, try not to break the car, I'm still useful. ”

After arranging our respective tasks, I came to a stop at the side of the road about 100 meters away from the exit of the curve, and after choosing a good angle, I quietly ambushed and waited for the other party's convoy to arrive.

We waited for about two hours when we heard something strange from the woods. First there was a flurry of birds flying by, and then the sound of the car's engine came.

"Here they are. Be prepared. I whispered to Pinto and got down.

Perhaps it was the reason why the quiet sound in the forest was far away, or the reason why the other party was careful and the road was not easy to walk, the convoy drove for a while before looming in sight.

When the leader of the convoy was about to drive out of the curve and found a roadblock, he immediately stopped, but the man did not get out of the car, but seemed to be sitting in the cab and observing the surroundings.

"Can you see the guy driving the car?" I asked softly.

Pinto said as he aimed, "No problem. Want to shoot? ”

"Wait a minute. He should be watching and waiting for someone to get out of the car to move the barricades. I whispered.

After about five minutes, the co-pilot's door of the first car was opened, and a man stepped down and looked around, beckoned to the back, and immediately three or four men with guns came out from behind. They came to the barricade and began to inspect the stacked trees.

"Hit the driver first. And then hit the guy who came down with the co-pilot. I said as I aimed at a man standing in front of a barricade with a weapon on his back.

As soon as I finished speaking, Pinto's gun went off, and I pulled the trigger, and the target fell, and as I looked at the other targets, gunshots rang out from John's side, and the engines of some of the cars in the convoy roared as if they were trying to rush out. However, some people ran out of the car, and as John had designed, they fired at them and retreated to the left side of the road for cover.

After I shot again and knocked over a man who was not far from the barricade trying to fight back at us, the guns on the Códoba side rang out, and from my point of view, it was very clear from time to time, but everyone knew what the other side would be like after the Córdoba attack.

I glanced at the fact that there was no target on our side, then stood up, turned around and said, "Let's touch it, put the sniper rifle on our back and change the pistol, and follow me." ”

We slowly moved towards the convoy, but before we could get any further, the gunfire slowly weakened, and when it came to a complete stop, John's shouts could be heard in the distance.

"Double-check. Gather all the corpses in the woods. Scrub the blood from the car. ”

I relaxed and walked straight to the first car, and after checking that several of the partisans who had fallen at the barricade were indeed dead, he opened the door and pulled the driver out of the car with his head blown open. After glancing at the bloody driver's seat, I looked at Pinto, "I'll hit my chest next time." There's no room for people to sit in here. ”

Pinto looked at the cab awkwardly and shrugged his shoulders without speaking. I closed the door and walked to the car, where I saw that the others were already carrying the bodies of the guerrillas, and John was going from car to car to check the inside.

"What are these transporting?" I asked.

John smiled and said, "What do you think?" This is Colombia, and they are dealing with Mexican drug traffickers. ”

"It can't be drugs, right? I mean, these cars are all loaded? "Although I thought that most of them were drugs, they were transported directly by truck, and there were more than five vehicles, which was not at all the scope of the drug trade that I could understand.

"You can see for yourself. This is Colombia, Colombia. John deliberately dragged out the word Colombia to me.

"I really need to open my eyes and see a long way." I muttered as I climbed into a truck. Large gasoline drums are neatly placed on the carriages. Although I pried one open and glanced at it, it was directly full of bags of things, and I didn't need to ask that I already knew that John was right.

"What are you going to do with these things?" I asked.

John said as he commanded the men to clean up the battlefield, "Of course it works. I'm going to make a deal with the Mexicans. ”

"Sold to Mexicans?" I'm a little hard to believe that, because anyone who has seen a little bit of a movie knows that a lot of Mexican drugs are sold to the United States, which is John's home country.

"yes. Swap that batch of arms back, that's exactly what we need. John said and glanced at me, then suddenly laughed and said, "Okay." I wasn't going to let them take it away. ”

Hearing him say that, I understand. He's going to do it again. But I worriedly asked, "How can you be sure that Mexicans will make a deal with you?" ”
