Chapter 373: Sniper
Mt. Shizukawa is located in the northeast of Kitada City, about 20 kilometers away, and the mountains are lush and green, with towering trees and a lot of greenery.
The forest coverage rate of the eastern island country is very high, especially in the northern island, which is vast and sparsely populated, with a large area of primeval forest. Of course, limited to the area of the North Island itself, the primeval forests on the islands are vast and extensive, and cannot be compared with the primeval forests in the northeast of China. However, for any individual or travel group, hundreds of square kilometers of primeval forest are vast enough.
Shizukawa Park is actually the entrance to the primeval forest of Mt. Shizukawa, and the scenery is very beautiful.
It was July, the weather was clear, the scenery of the north was beautiful, and the sky was blue.
Not far from the entrance of Shizukawa Park, there is a large plaza paved with bluestone, carved with some ancient totems, and some entertainment facilities. It is a good place for Beitian citizens to relax on holidays. Many foreign tourists also visit Shizukawa Park. Therefore, Shizukawa Park is also considered one of the tourist attractions in Kitada City.
In Qiuzi's thoughts, it is estimated that this is also the reason why Xiao Fan agreed to exchange hostages in Jingchuan Park.
Tourist resorts, in the imagination of ordinary people, are always crowded with people, not too quiet. Exchanging hostages in such a lively place can effectively evade the threat of long-range sniping.
In the event of an attack, run as far as possible to a crowded area.
It's common sense!
When there are many people and the scene is chaotic, it is not easy for snipers to find their target again in the panicked crowd that is running around.
Looking at the deserted Shizukawa Park Square, the corners of Akiko's mouth curled up, revealing a sarcastic smile.
It is impossible for a foreigner to know the real situation of Shizukawa Park. Shizukawa Park is certainly a tourist attraction. But it's the temples and other natural attractions deep in the mountains that really attract visitors, not the man-made squares. Most visitors will only use the square as a parking lot. Then follow the forest trail directly into the mountain.
In the huge Shizukawa Square, there are hardly a few people in sight.
This unsheltered environment. It is the ideal sniper field. As long as Xiao Fan dares to take the lead, even if he turns himself into a flying bird, he will never be able to escape the sniping of three sniper rifles!
Akiko drove an economical domestic off-road vehicle from Higashijima, slowly parked in an inconspicuous corner of the park square.
At this time, Akiko is naturally no longer wearing a gentle kimono, but a set of blue-green sportswear, wearing a pair of hiking boots under her feet, and her long hair is tied in a bunch at the back of her head, all of which are stuffed into a certain blue-green baseball cap. It looks very capable.
Tracksuits, baseball caps are all blue-green hues, and there is no doubt that in the primeval forest, this is the best camouflage.
The buggy came to a halt in the corner, and Akiko jumped out of the car lightly, pulled a black canvas bag from the back seat, threw it on her shoulder, and flashed her body a few times. He disappeared into the forest by the roadside, and the clothes on his body merged with the forest, and it was difficult to distinguish them anymore.
A few minutes later, Akiko appeared on top of a small hill not far away.
The hill is covered with dense forests. There are no attractions and no artificial structures, in general. There will never be any tourists or anyone else running to this mountain.
Akiko is too familiar with the terrain in this area.
A showdown within the Yagyu family. Held here at least twice, Akiko knows the terrain around the park square by heart. Even if she's never been to Park Plaza. Standing at the entrance of the square, you can also find a very suitable sniper position, which is the basic skill of a good sniper.
Akiko carried a black rucksack on her back, her steps were light, and she climbed over the top of the mountain bag, and her body quickly disappeared behind a raised mound of dirt.
Behind this mound there is "another heaven and earth."
If someone with sniper experience comes here, you can see at a glance that this is a simple individual sniper position.
Akiko nodded in satisfaction.
The individual sniper position here was set up by herself during the last family competition. A few months have passed, and it is still in its original state, and it can continue to be used with little processing.
Akiko crouched down behind the mound of dirt and opened the rucksack, revealing the black life box inside, flashing with a metallic sheen, and the texture was extremely charming.
Opening the box, Akiko took out the parts of the sniper rifle and assembled them into a complete sniper rifle, with a focused and meticulous expression.
She still has time, not in a hurry.
The head of the family had just communicated with Xiao Fan on the phone, and she almost immediately set off to rush over. No matter how powerful that person is, he is also a foreigner, and I am afraid that even the specific location of Jingchuan Park needs to consult the map or ask others to know, so it is naturally impossible to rush to the park faster than her.
Besides, when she was on the road just now, the head of the family talked to her on the phone again, and the Yamaguchi Police Department was still in the city. This is information that was learned by tracking the mobile phone signal of the mountain pass in Guò.
The Shina man was arrogant and didn't turn off or discard Yamaguchi's phone.
Since it was a hostage exchange, the Shina people would definitely take Yamaguchi and Yoshito with them. Regardless of whether the head of the family is really willing to exchange hostages with him, for the safety of his girlfriend, Xiao Fan can only choose to believe in the sincerity of the head of the family.
What a fool this man is!
Knowing that the Yanagi family was not good for him, for the sake of a woman, he actually ran to Kitada to die.
Although Akiko herself is a woman, the concept of "patriarchy" is deeply ingrained, and like most Higashijima men, it is no different. In Akiko's mind, don't say it's for a "girlfriend", even if it's for your wife, you shouldn't risk your life.
If one day, she is kidnapped, the head of the Yagyu family will never risk coming to save her, even if the head of the Yagyu family is willing to take such a risk, Akiko will never agree.
It's not worth it!
It was already afternoon, and Qiuzi estimated that as long as Xiao Fan was not a real fool, he would choose to exchange hostages after dark. Regardless, night is always a sniper's worst enemy. Although there are infrared thermal imagers and sights, it is difficult to identify sniper targets in the dark. If you really want to succeed in sniping, the safest thing to do is to kill everyone on the other side.
But then it's much more difficult.
Except for long-range sniping. With the opponent's almost perverted skills, if you fight in close combat. Even if the head of the family goes out in person, I am afraid that he may not be able to take much advantage.
But even if it's a hostage exchange at night. Qiuzi also thinks that Xiao Fan's chances of being able to avoid sniping are really small. Darkness can provide good protection, but that's just a general situation. And what Qiuzi laid down was a serial killing array.
Masano and Takada, both experienced snipers. Both served in elite units of the Self-Defense Forces, where they served as snipers. Xiao Fan, as long as there are not too many people coming, under the crossfire of the three people, they can only rely on luck to survive.
In addition, Akiko also arranged four groups of observation posts on both sides of the road to Shizukawa Park, and also served as a reserve sniper. These four groups of observation posts were certainly not as professional as the three of them. But not a rookie either. Accurate sniping may not be enough, and directly attacking Xiao Fan's vehicle still has a high chance of hitting the target.
Moreover, the group of people who were responsible for exchanging hostages with Xiao Fan were not vegetarians, and everyone was equipped with submachine guns. The Uzi submachine gun, imported from Israel, has close firepower and amazing lethality.
A network of cross-fire from near and far ranges has been formed, under the cover of this network of fire. Even though Xiao Fan is really a "god descending from heaven", Akiko doesn't think he can leave Shizukawa Park alive.
Akiko never believed in myths, let alone miracles.
As for Hidekawa Yoshito and the Yamaguchi Police Department, to tell the truth. Akiko really didn't think too much about it. Although she would not say anything ruthless and unrighteous in front of the head of the Yanagi family, it did not prevent her from carrying out the plan in this way.
Since he is a retainer of the Yagyu family, he must be ready to sacrifice for the head of the family at any time.
Akiko finally assembles the sniper rifle.
Given their size. Akiko didn't choose the Barrett 50 Heavy Sniper Rifle, which was too bulky and at the same time too imposing. Ammunition of twelve .7 mm. The ultra-long effective range of more than 2,000 meters is certainly Barrett's selling point. But it's not suitable for Akiko's use, and it's not suitable for the sniper mission to be performed today.
Akiko needed a sniper rifle that didn't have such a long range and wasn't so perverted in terms of single-shot lethality, but was capable of firing continuously in a short period of time.
No matter how tough a sniper is, there is no guarantee that he will hit the target with one shot with an infrared sight at night when visibility is extremely low. The Barrett heavy sniper rifle has the characteristics of single-shot shooting and slow reloading, which is difficult to meet the needs of this sniping.
Therefore, Akiko chose the PSG-1, the "precision marksman rifle" produced by the Heckler-Koch company.
The precision and meticulousness of the Germanic people is vividly displayed in this sniper rifle. The PSG-1 sniper rifle is known as one of the most accurate semi-automatic sniper rifles in the world, capable of firing 50 rounds of bullets into a circle with a diameter of less than eight centimeters at a distance of 300 meters.
Although the PSG-1 sniper rifle also weighed eight kilograms, it was still much lighter than the thirteen kilograms of the Barrett 50 heavy sniper rifle.
Akiko picked up her sniper rifle made of black, high-density plastic, and began to observe the square through the scope.
Good vision and good shooting range.
In the position where Akiko is now, the sniper rifle in her hand can cover the entire park square.
Akiko set up her sniper rifle in front of the individual position, turned on the walkie-talkie, and began to call Masano, Takada and several other groups. Masano and Takada had already entered the preset position and reported their positions, and the other teams also replied that they were ready.
Akiko looked at it, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Masano and Takada are worthy of being her old partners, and the sniper position they chose is very good, just forming an equilateral triangle with her, and there are no dead ends in crossfire.
Very good!
Now I'm waiting for that man to come and die!
Akiko had an old saying in his mind about the country of China - everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
The civilization of the Chinese people has a long history, but their martial arts are really poor......
A smile appeared on the corner of Akiko's mouth, with obvious sarcasm. (To be continued......)
