Chapter 1001: Chapter 546 This revenge must be taken bit by bit!

"Benjamin, follow Lincoln Harrington and arrange the body and the signal transmitter. Xiao Zhang, you and Mr. Cooper go clean up the nearby footprints. Squad Leader Wang, let’s discuss the battle plan..."

After reaching the pre-scouted area, Elijah Hastings began to distribute tasks.

Benjamin followed Lincoln Harrington to position the body, then placed the signal transmitter alongside it. He couldn’t help asking Lincoln Harrington:

"Squad Leader Qin, I’ve seen in movies and TV shows—in situations like this ambush, don’t they usually put booby traps under the bodies?

Why are we just leaving the bodies there without doing anything else?"

"Because our opponents are professionals too," Lincoln Harrington explained while helping out, "they might even be more professional than us. The ones who will come for the bodies are likely to be mercenaries.

Their battlefield experience surpasses ours.

These little tricks won’t fool them, but instead make them more vigilant.

So we’re better off not touching anything, which might actually make them let their guard down."

"I see!" Benjamin understood somewhat, though he still felt a bit disappointed.

"Don’t worry, if you’re really prepared to participate in this battle, then you’ll certainly get your chance to fight later."

Lincoln Harrington said, looking at Benjamin’s slightly youthful face.

Meanwhile, Douglas Cooper and Xiao Zhang were clearing and disguising the ground, wiping the footprints clean. They also made a few shallow marks where the dead Japanese had stepped.

"Alright, everyone has finished their tasks; next, I will explain the battle plan," Elijah said after seeing that all the groups had completed their work. He shared the plan he had discussed with Squad Leader Wang with everyone.

Squad Leader Wang was also a veteran from a special operations brigade.

He had served a little longer than Elijah and his group, completing three terms as a non-commissioned officer. At that time, he didn’t take a job but instead took retirement pay, then went independent. But after not succeeding, he ended up being recruited here.

"According to the plan, the opponents are likely to have parachuted into the adjacent area and then regrouped here.

Because that Japanese never responded to them, the people coming will definitely be suspicious.

They will approach cautiously.

At this time, we must absolutely avoid alarming the snakes, as they would definitely blow their cover and escape, which wouldn’t be advantageous for our encirclement.

When they discover the signal transmitter and find the Japanese’s body, they will realize there’s no ambush.

At that point, these people will relax. Lincoln Harrington, when they gather to discuss matters, you must take out the one who seems to be the leader or the brains of the operation.

Once these people are startled, they will definitely flee. Squad Leader Wang is at the southeast corner, using the machine gun for suppressive firepower. At this moment, except for Lincoln Harrington and Squad Leader Wang, no one else should engage.

After the opponent is suppressed, they will certainly try to flee westward, and that’s when they’ll enter our trap.

Remember, once they are in the trap, you must aim and fire at their backs; not one can be allowed to escape! Understand?"

"Understood!" Everyone said in unison.

"Good, check your weapons and equipment. If there are any issues, raise them now; if there are none, quickly move to the predetermined ambush locations."

"Squad Leader Hastings, I’d like to ask, who are these people, and why must we eliminate them all?" The curious Benjamin asked the question.

Although the other security personnel did not ask, curiosity was evident in their eyes.

"Alright, we still have a little time, so let me unify everyone’s thoughts," Elijah Hastings looked at Benjamin and the others and began:

"One month ago, the boss took us on a trip to Japan. Our purpose there was to find a Buddha statue called the Bloody Earth Guanyin.

We went through countless hardships to find the statue, and then the boss managed to transport it back to China through his connections.

These Japanese couldn’t accept it and wanted to take revenge on the boss, so they followed us here."

"What is this Bloody Earth Guanyin? Is it a treasure? Is it very precious?" Benjamin couldn’t help but ask.

"You know about the Nanjing Massacre perpetrated by the Japanese, right?" Douglas Cooper interjected.

"Of course!" Benjamin was somewhat confused. What did that have to do with the Avalokitesvara statue?

"One of the main culprits behind the Nanjing Massacre, the old Japanese soldier Matsui Iwane, took many blood-stained soils from the slaughtered compatriots of Nanjing when he left the city.

After returning to Japan, he used this soil to create a statue of Avalokitesvara—this Avalokitesvara is called the Bloody Earth Guanyin! The purpose of making this statue was to suppress the spirits of the Nanjing military and civilians who were killed, to prevent them from being reincarnated, from passing on to the next life, from seeking revenge on them!"

This was spoken by Douglas Cooper, gritting his teeth, word by word.

Everyone present could feel the hate in his heart.

"The Buddha statue was placed in a place called the Xingya Guanyin Temple," Lincoln Harrington continued in an almost emotionless voice, but it conveyed a power that was ready to erupt!

"And the face of that Avalokitesvara statue was directed towards Nanjing of China! That Guanyin Temple also enshrined the ashes of seven Class A war criminals and the ashes of over a thousand Class B and C war criminals!

Online, it was claimed that the statue and the Guanyin Temple disappeared in a flood, likely destroyed, but the boss didn’t think it was that simple, so he took us over there."

Lincoln Harrington didn’t continue any further after saying this.

He felt it wasn’t necessary to go on.

Benjamin’s face turned red with shame, and the other security personnel were even more furious.
