I stayed low to the ground in case another enemy patrol showed up.

The enemy patrol was neither seen nor heard from anymore.

But how did you manage to come across such an enemy patrol?

And the enemy patrol, I'm afraid, is directly in our path.

So far, they hadn't seen any sign of the enemy patrols and had been able to move fast.

Then they run into an enemy patrol on the path.

An officer called up, "We have found an enemy patrol, sir."

Sweat poured into his eyes as the enemy patrol came on.

A rifle shot might attract the attention of an enemy patrol.

We needed to get west, but to do so and pass any enemy patrol, we must first head south.
