A hard-hitting ambush had not yet befallen the Bosnians so close to Jablancia. It would still have the intended effect, looking like a normal ambush to obtain supplies. Hopefully the attack would create enough havoc to demand the Iranian’s presence.

Oleg and his people quickly unloaded the trucks. “We have this under control,” he told Sauwa. “We’ll be out of here soon. You should go and prepare.”

Not wanting to leave the guerrillas at such a time, yet understanding that her time was limited, Sauwa nodded to Oleg.

She walked past the destroyed truck and the security team posted at the turn of the road and moved to the edge and down into the ravine. She worked her way off the steep ledge ensuring she left no trail marking her destination.

The trees and bushes soon became an opening to a field of grass allowing her to increase her speed. Sticking close to the bushes, she veered off some more to further distort her line of movement. She skipped across a small creek at the base of the ravine, shivering as the cold water splashed against her boots and lower legs, then climbed up the other side.

Back inside the thickets, she headed in the direction of the ambush. She was exhausted by the time she got to her destination. She was now at the ravine about 200 meters across from the site of the ambush.

Feeling her way on the ground around the bushes, she found the canvass roll she had hidden prior to setting up the ambush. Pulling it out from its hiding place, she untied the two strings holding the bundle together, rolled it open and examined the Mosin-Nagant 91/30. She had taken great pains not to risk damage to the battle sighting of the scope.

Next, she retrieved her Bergen from underneath the same shrubbery.

Crawling toward the edge of the ravine, she took some time to look around. Coming down the ravine, Sauwa had been careful to circle around the long way taking the most vegetated path to ensure she didn’t leave any trail that would lead to her position. She knew the Iranian would immediately check for any signs that enemy forces, predominantly snipers, would still be in the area.

Satisfied she had left no such evidence, she grabbed her rifle and Bergen and set about looking for a shooting position.

She slid further back, masking herself within the darkness created by the trees, and found a location behind an old tree and berm that provided a dugout she could nestle into. Various shrubs and bushes helped conceal her and still offered her an adequate view of the area on the other side.

Placing the Bergen so it was easily accessible, she rested her rifle across the berm stabilizing it against the tree. She didn’t want to consider taking such a risky shot from a prone position. She wanted as much stabilization as possible. The rifle scope rested forward of the bolt making it awkward to sight through. It was just another problem with which she’d have to cope.
