An ambush battle needs to meet three conditions: surprise, strong attack, and fast movement. (From "CQB Close Combat" on National Geographic Channel.) This tactical ambush convoy is often used in modern warfare.
The main strategies are:
First, use an IED, or a roadblock to paralyze the first car.
Second, use strong firepower to suppress the team and move quickly to attack.
Finally, after the end, gather the team, count the number of people and quickly retreat. Because the enemy will send tracking troops.
There was also an ambush in the Russian film "The Ninth Commando" - the local partisans used the mountainous terrain to ambush the Soviet convoy. I have to admit, they are really old hands in this area.
First, the local guerrillas used the canyon as a natural obstacle, which not only suppressed the enemy, but also facilitated retreat.
They used RPG fire to paralyze the first vehicle of the convoy as a signal to attack. And the firepower is very powerful. Although the 9th Company launched a counterattack, it was of no use. '
Second, because the guerrillas used a "hit and run" strategy, the entire attack time was very short.
The Soviet army soon dispatched a tracking force. But the mountains are full of hidden caves. (Some were excavated manually in order to carry out such ambush battles.)
Sometimes during the retreat, the enemy will use mines, booby traps, tear gas, and support fire as cover.
Throughout the battle, the local guerrillas used unexpected skills to paralyze the Soviet convoy, and the offensive firepower was very fierce. In the end, it was very quick to use the mountainous terrain to retreat. These all meet the three principles of CQB melee combat.
