This day was a day of battle for Gao Yang and his team; from the moment Ivan was attacked, the fighting had hardly ceased, and yet only a little over four hours had passed.
Next, they still had to fight, to seize a campsite from the hands of drug traffickers. Once they had a place to settle, they would then consider how to extricate themselves from Colombia.
The caravan sped along the No. 40 Motorway, with vehicles well dispersed. Although there were few vehicles on No. 40 Motorway, there were still some. Spreading out the fleet like this posed a problem when encountering roadblocks, but it meant they wouldn't suffer airstrikes.
In the end, they encountered no roadblocks on the No. 40 Motorway. Though planes did come again, with four passes over the motorway, the incoming aircraft never opened fire.
The No. 40 Motorway was in good condition. To get to Camp No. 2, a fifty-kilometer journey would take less than an hour to complete.
