Chapter 529 is enough.
An hour before the end of the exercise, the troops stationed outside the Blue Army command post began to withdraw in an orderly manner.
Thirty minutes before the end of the exercise, fewer than two hundred soldiers remained guarding the Blue Army command post.
Xie Ronghua would glance at his watch every ten seconds or so to check the time.
Apart from Xiao Yunfeng, the others also began packing up all the communication equipment and supplies in the tent.
"Commander Xiao, it'll be over in less than half an hour." Xie Ronghua had lost count of how many times he had signaled to Xiao Yunfeng.
At this point, Xiao Yunfeng stopped issuing any orders, clearly waiting for the exercise to end.
"Can we leave the command post now?"
Xie Ronghua thought Xiao Yunfeng would agree this time, but to his surprise, he gave the same answer as before.
"No rush, there's still half an hour."
Xie Ronghua couldn't help but exclaim, "Commander Xiao is truly a punctual person."
In his view now, it's the same whether it's now or half an hour from now.
Just as he was about to say something more, Xiao Yunfeng suddenly revealed a smile that seemed to confirm his expectations.
"They're here!"
Xie Ronghua's breath hitched, and he almost instinctively looked outside the tent.
The next second his expression changed, and he instantly got ready to go.
The figures of the Red Army appeared not far away, and their numbers seemed quite large. Soon, gunfire erupted between the Red and Blue forces.
The people inside the tent drew their pistols at lightning speed and stood disciplinedly at the tent entrance, forming the last line of defense to protect Xiao Yunfeng and Xie Ronghua.
Xie Ronghua's face contorted in pain. "These Red Army soldiers are incredibly audacious! They actually dared to come to our command post!"
Xiao Yunfeng's voice rang out, "They can't win now, so their only chance to turn the tide is to take down the Blue Army's command post, and preferably capture me, the commander-in-chief."
Looking at his nonchalant demeanor, Xie Ronghua immediately made a judgment.
"You guessed it all along?"
Xiao Yunfeng responded with silence.
"Then why did you withdraw the command post's defenses, giving them the opportunity..." Xie Ronghua hadn't finished his question when he suddenly realized something, "You deliberately let them in?!"
As expected, Xiao Yunfeng gave an affirmative answer, "Is there any better bait than the command post?"
Xie Ronghua's gaze kept shifting as she looked at him, unsure how to describe her feelings at that moment.
He had long known of Xiao Yunfeng's exceptional military command abilities, but he still underestimated Xiao's understanding of the battlefield and human nature.
They previously said they didn't want to wipe out the Red Army, but now they're willing to use the command post as bait.
No wonder he found it strange when he saw the deployment map of the red and blue forces before. Why was even the location of the command post marked on it?
Although it wasn't explicitly stated that it was the Blue Team's command post, its presence on the map was itself a huge danger and a vulnerability.
So it was Xiao Yunfeng who had set a trap for the Red Army from the very beginning.
"But we have less than two hundred men in our garrison, and the Red Army seems to have quite a few. Will we be alright?"
He completely understood Xiao Yunfeng's arrangement, but the situation outside looked rather grim, and they absolutely couldn't afford to make things worse!
Seeing Xie Ronghua's nervousness, Xiao Yunfeng simply curled his lips and uttered three words, "That's enough."
