Leonid had been shot, so this ambush couldn't have been arranged by him.
There was no continuous stream of bullets flying in, just precise shots fired from the barracks; therefore, after dropping to the ground, Gao Guang managed to pull a section of his unfolded bulletproof backpack in front of Leonid's head for protection.
The enemy wasn't in a superior position above nor were they surrounded on all sides, they had the advantage of a surprise attack by seizing the initiative in timing, but beyond that, the enemy didn't have any significant advantages.
Especially without concentrated suppressing fire, it allowed Gao Guang and his team a chance to catch their breath.
Precise fire can never replace the effect of dense suppressive fire, which is why the machine gun is an indispensable cover fire for infantry, whereas snipers and marksmen are not.
"Don't move!"
