The simplest way to avoid friendly fire is to raise a white flag.
Raising a white flag doesn't just mean surrendering; sometimes, it signifies a lack of hostility or a request for negotiations.
Although holding a white flag doesn't guarantee immunity from attack, it significantly reduces the likelihood of being targeted. So, when Gao Guang and his team advanced toward the Russian positions, raising a white flag was the most basic measure of protection.
Leaf tore a piece from his white shirt, grabbed a random stick from the field, tied the cloth to it, and the four of them marched quickly toward the Russian positions under the little white flag.
The Russian positions were quite obvious; the area with the densest artillery fire was their stronghold.
