I can believe Erwin pulling a Tyrion to find a mole, but how are they going to explain why Erwin was so well prepared for this? Going into a forest with a clean, paved path? Knowing that there was only a single enemy? What if on the offset of their expedition, titans appeared in a way that would steer them away from the forest? And having that kind of equipment in the first place? There was no indication that a titan would hunt them down like this so why was he so prepared for this specific situation?
Unless they are just deus it because things are just falling too perfectly into place and it's kind of lame.

The expedition itself was likely set up as bait to lure out the traitors who killed Sonny and Bean. If they were to interfere again, the only thing that could put a stop to the mission would be one or more special titans, so it made sense that they would prepare weapons for that threat. I don't remember if Irwin planned to go to that forest specifically if shit hit the fan but there's really nothing stopping them from setting up the trap elsewhere, like an abandoned village.
