“The ambush must be set up in suitable terrain. Areas that are too obvious as ambush sites like defiles, hollows etc., must be avoided. Well suited on the other hand are inconspicuous positions in hedges, forest edges, cornfields, settlements and gardens, especially if they offer possibilities of covered and concealed withdrawal.Patient, noiseless, and motionless waiting, often over a longer period of time, are necessary when laying in ambush. Fire only opens up when the order or predetermined sign is given. In larger scale ambushes, the advance party of the enemy should be allowed to pass in order to hit the more valuable targets following. If sufficient forces are available, a separate ambush may be set up for the expected advance party. Fire on the advance party may open up only after the main ambush is sprung.â€
