Ivanov stopped again at the fork in the crossing, and he continued to crouch down as before, looking for possible zài marks, but after searching the sides of the fork, he did not find any marks or stones leaning against the roots of the tree. "Commander, I think something is wrong." Ivanov spoke over the walkie-talkie, while looking around with alarm, feeling more and more a dangerous smell in the air.

Wang Hai was still some distance away from Ivanov, and when he heard this, he asked: "Have you found it clearly, maybe you missed it." ”

Ivanov asked rhetorically: "Do you think I'm that stupid?" ”

Wang Hai and Ivanov have not been together for a long time, but they know Ivanov's ability very well, this guy is not much worse than himself, if he says that there is no mark, then there will really be no mark. Wang Hai turned to Theresa and said, "My friend didn't find the mark at the fork in the road ahead, do you know what's going on?" ”

Theresa shook her head slightly, then looked back and said, "Maybe we're on the wrong side." ”

It will not be wrong, Wang Hai will check every time he goes to a fork, and he can be sure that everyone is completely following the marks left by the villagers, and when they get here, the marks are suddenly broken, which means that there is a problem.

Ivanov spoke again: "Commander, I feel that something is wrong here, it is very depressing, like falling into an ambush of the enemy. ”

Ivanov was not alone in feeling this way, and Olivier commanded: "Everyone be on guard. ”

"Follow me." Wang Hai whispered, taking Theresa to meet the Olivier people in front.

"Would you like to fire another flare?" Adam asked.

Olivier shook his head, if it was like the last time he was ambushed by the enemy, firing flares would only make the enemy see everyone more clearly. Olivier stared ahead and thought calmly, now there were only two options, move on or retreat.

Wang Hai happened to hear Adam's inquiry, and also saw Olivier's expression, knowing that she had a difficult choice. "Olivier." Wang Hai shouted softly, pushed Theresa to the front and said, "Please help me take care of Theresa, I'll take a look at it at the front." ”

Olivier nodded his head, in charge of protecting Theresa, hoping that Wang Hai would bring her further news.

Wang Hai cautiously approached forward, and when he approached Ivanov, he whispered through a communicator: "Don't shoot, it's me." ”

Ivanov, who was still guarding the fork in the road, saw Wang Hai and asked, "Does the regiment commander have any instructions?" ”

Wang Hai replied: "We have to find out the situation, maybe the villagers have encountered some trouble when passing through here and have not left a mark." As he spoke, he pointed to the fork in the road on the left, and then said, "You go this way, I'll go this way, and the two of us continue to walk forward for a distance to see if we can find a new mark." ”

Ivanov nodded in agreement with Wang Hai's opinion, and at the same time said: "I always feel that something is wrong here, there may be an enemy ambush ahead, you should be careful." ”

Wang Hai smiled slightly, and walked to the right fork first, and Ivanov followed up to the left fork, advancing forward with the keen sense of smell and alert observation of two snipers.

Dark, cold, and damp, this is what Wang Hai can feel in front of him, and the other is that as Ivanov said, the surrounding environment makes people feel very uncomfortable. "Ivano, what did you find over there?" Wang Hai asked.

"Didn't find it." Ivanov replied, and then continued, "But I think the situation here is very bad, and we had better go back first." ”

Wang Hai fully agreed with Ivanov's statement that continuing to advance in the face of uncertainty would only be a threat, and his intuition was telling him that he must retreat immediately, at least to the previous fork in the road. Wang Hai said to Olivier: "We'd better withdraw and wait until dawn before we act." ”

Ivanov continued: "I agree with Robin's suggestion that it will be more beneficial to us after dawn." ”

Olivier no longer hesitated when he heard the two of them, and immediately gave the order to retreat.

Wang Hai began to retreat, and after meeting with everyone, he leaned around Olivier and whispered: "You take everyone to retreat first, and I will find a chance to stay here." ”

"You think there's an ambush here?" Olivier asked in a whisper.

Wang Hai nodded lightly, and then said, "Whether there is an ambush or not, it is very necessary for us to do this. ”

Olivier nodded in response, "Okay, be careful, and let me know if there's any problem." ”

Wang Haichong Olivier smiled slightly and retreated with everyone. If there were really people lying in ambush around and discovering Wang Hai and the others, then the enemy would only see everyone retreating, and no one would have noticed that there was suddenly one less person in the middle, let alone where Wang Hai was hiding.

Wang Hai hid in a big tree, and the dense branches and leaves became his best umbrella.

If you're a beginner sniper, your instructor may have taught you not to hide in a tree, because a sniper must always be on the move without being detected by the enemy, and if the enemy finds you hiding in a tree, you can easily become a target for the enemy and not be able to change your position.

Wang Hai's approach at this time seems to be a sniper's taboo, but for a world-class sniper, it is feasible for him to do so now. Snipers have to develop different strategies according to the real environment, rather than blindly following the textbook and sometimes doing the opposite. Moreover, Wang Hai was hiding in the trees at this time not to engage the enemy, but to better observe the surrounding situation.

"Robin, we've retreated to the fork in the road." Olivier reported their situation to Wang Hai.

Wang Hai didn't reply, he had to keep quiet, any slight movement might expose him. Wang Hai squatted on the branch of the tree, and the sniper rifle was mounted on the fork of the tree, motionless, as if he had become one with the tree itself.

"Z, zz." A few minutes later, there was a faint grinding sound in the darkness, like someone carefully stepping on the grass, like the sound of clothes rubbing. Whatever the sound is, it proves that there are people hidden in the darkness. The other party is a very cunning guy, stop-and-go, very careful, and always keeps the police.

Wang Hai happened to be staring in the direction where the voice came from, and a moment later he saw a guy in a green camouflage uniform, armed to the teeth, appear in front of him, and stopped under the tree where he was hiding. At this time, Wang Hai was very close to the other party, and even in this darkness, he could distinguish the other party's clothes and equipment, which was not at all the same as the attacker who had arrived in Ethiopia at the beginning, he was a mercenary.

Wang Hai's right fingers slowly loosened, staring closely at the guy under the tree, wanting to jump down and catch a live mouth. Just as Wang Hai was about to act, a slight movement made him change his mind, and he saw the mercenary under the tree raise his left hand and wave it, as if he was summoning something.

Anyone else? Wang Hai watched the direction in which the mercenary appeared and let him go.

Sure enough, Wang Hai guessed correctly, there were mercenaries behind, and there were quite a few of them, and after a rough count, he found that there were as many as forty or fifty people. These guys must have been in ambush before, and they were forced to chase after everyone chose to retreat. Judging by the movements of the mercenaries, they are well-trained and experienced in combat, and they are tricky guys. Fortunately, everyone chose to withdraw from the marriage, if they really stepped into the ambush circle of these guys, it would definitely be a heavy casualty, and even if they went head-to-head with these guys like now, they might not be able to get any benefits.

Wang Hai let these guys all leave, and after making sure that no one would hear his voice, he whispered: "Someone." ”

Just two short words, Olivier immediately understood what Wang Hai meant, and immediately ordered everyone to arrange the defensive line, set up some tricks on the road, and hide in a hidden place to prepare for battle.

Seeing that no one appeared again, Wang Hai gently slid down from the tree, and then carefully followed behind the butts of these mercenaries, and when he was about to reach the fork in the road, he also found a place convenient for shooting and hid, holding a sniper rifle and waiting for the battle to begin.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that these mercenaries were well-trained, and the sound of forty or fifty men walking in the jungle was almost negligible, and they would only gradually retreat after the pioneers were sure that it was safe.

The pioneer had already arrived at the fork in the road, but he did not see Olivier and the others, which made him hesitate a little, not knowing whether to continue on.

Olivier asked in a whisper, "Robin, how many enemies are there?" ”

Wang Hai replied: "More than forty." ”

Olivier looked ahead, and so far she had only seen one person, and the others had not seen it at all. After thinking for a moment, Olivier ordered: "Ivanov, kill this guy and lure the others out." ”

Ivanov had already locked on to the target, and after receiving Olivier's order, he pulled the trigger. The pioneer just wanted to continue walking, but before he could get up, he felt a pain in his chest, and with years of combat experience, he knew that he had been shot, and instinctively lay on the ground and pretended to be dead. Ivanov knew that the target was still alive, because he didn't intend to kill the other party directly, but wanted to use the other party to lure out others. Ivanov saw the target fall to the ground and pretended to be dead, he didn't even snort, he secretly admired the other party's endurance in his heart, and he was by no means an ordinary person who could endure the pain without making a sound. Admiration is admiration, but this is a battlefield after all, and the enemy must not be treated with mercy, Ivanov soon pulled the plate machine for the second time, and the bullet hit the target's left thigh.
