Leitao ordered his men to spread out around the valley, maintaining a state of high alert and keeping a close watch for any sign of movement. He quickly retrieved several anti-personnel tripwire mines from his Bagua Spinning Top Space and began meticulously laying out a minefield along the only path the Japanese Army could possibly take.
Crouched low, Leitao carefully studied the terrain, selecting a narrow stretch of the path shielded by brush and rocks. He knelt down, took an anti-personnel tripwire mine from its protective pouch, and began working with practiced hands. He painstakingly connected the trigger mechanism to the tripwire, firmly embedded the mine into the earth, and cleverly concealed it with surrounding soil and fallen leaves, leaving only the nearly invisible tripwire stretched across the path. As he laid the mines, Leitao mapped out his subsequent assault plan in his mind, ensuring each mine would be deployed to maximum effect.
After planting several mines, he retrieved camouflage nets from his space, covering the area around the minefield to blend it seamlessly with the surroundings, leaving the Japanese Army no chance of spotting the trap. Leitao occasionally looked up to observe his surroundings, his ears alert for any unusual sounds.
