0281 Definitely a Trap
It really didn't take much effort! The cat-and-mouse game was about to begin, and he especially liked the thrill.
That's right, that's the enemy's sniper! Although he was well disguised and could not be seen for the time being, he had been exposed.
That's it!
Moving forward, staring closely through the telescope at his movements. He knew it was going to take a while for the guy to get ready to shoot. Take your time to watch him perform, don't be busy, you have time.
I watched the bushes move, moving forward without a gun.
Now is a critical time, and what he needs is calm.
After waiting for more than two days, it finally came, and his heart was just beating with a little nervousness and excitement again.
"Forward, on the cliff more than three hundred meters ahead—there seems to be movement in the direction of two o'clock." Xiong Guoqing said softly.
Xiong Guoqing was beside a rock more than a meter to his right, but he couldn't see each other at all, and he couldn't convey military information through gestures.
"Yes, I saw it! Don't move. ”
"Can you aim over there? I'm not in a good location here. ”
"Don't move! I can aim for it. Notice that the mountain ahead is the key. He seemed calm, knowing that there must be some other unexposed snipers in the enemy.
The branches were still moving slowly in the grass, and it was clear that the enemy was still looking for a position, and there was no threat to them for the time being, most likely just trying to conduct counter-sniper observation and control the place.
The location is important to them and they want to make sure it's safe.
Forward, holding the telescope in his left hand, his right arm did not move, but his wrist was forced, and little by little, he slowly retracted the body of the gun against his body.
Just now it was facing the valley at twelve o'clock in front of me, and now if you turn the muzzle of the gun directly and shift it to the direction of two o'clock in the right hand, the range of action will be very large, and it will not be good to attract the blades of grass, so you can only retreat the body of the gun and then stretch it out diagonally forward.
His movements were small, his shoulders and arms did not move, and he had to push his gun back towards the cliff before the enemy reached the cliff, ready to shoot.
This should take several minutes to prepare.
But it was only a few seconds, and the body of the Type 79 sniper was already backwards, and then he carefully pushed the muzzle of the gun out little by little in the direction of two o'clock, as little as possible not to touch the grass.
It's tedious to do, but minimizes the chance of exposure.
He always used his right hand to complete the movements of the gun, and the telescope in his left hand did not leave the observation of the enemy for a second.
After completing the sniper aiming, he breathed a sigh of relief that the enemy had not noticed any unusual movement on this side, and continued to come up to the edge of the cliff, trying to find the best anti-sniper observation angle and shooting position.
He believed that the enemy had reached the valley below for a while, but that was not what he wanted to judge now, the problem at hand was that the shot from the depression angle was somewhat unfavorable to him, and the gun could easily be covered in the grass.
He watched motionless through the sniper scope as the dwarf bushes continued to move through the grass.
He wanted to adjust his posture and move the angle, but he thought about it.
This is done with too much amplitude and can easily attract the attention of the enemy.
He judged that in order to achieve a better vision and angle of fire, the man on the opposite ridge had to climb down from the main ridge all the way to the edge of the cliff, and according to his speed, the distance of more than two meters would take at least twenty seconds.
As a sniper with the team, when carrying out counter-sniping to provide safety for teammates, in addition to the keen observation brought by calmness and judgment, the most important thing is stealth, to be able to integrate with the surrounding environment, and protect yourself first.
But apparently this guy overlooked one point, that is, he was too underestimated and did not weigh his opponent well.
How could a sniper who had prepared and waited in ambush not observe and memorize the conspicuous surroundings in his mind? So it didn't take much effort to spot him just now.
The mistake he made was fatal! It's no different from covering your ears and stealing a bell!
"Not good! The platoon commander, really the enemy, he has reached the edge of the cliff, and the muzzle is aiming at our side! ”
"Don't speak, he's still watching, I'm aiming at him. The distance is only three hundred, and the wind direction is now in my favor, as long as he makes any movement, I will shoot first, and this time I am 100% sure of the headshot. He said softly as he took aim forward.
He's relaxed, he's relaxed.
In the sniper scope, he could clearly see the head of the enemy in disguise. This guy's camouflage straw hat is supposed to be improvised and thick, making it difficult to blend in with the surrounding grass.
He hid under a small tree, watching them with a telescope. This guy is really cunning, and he uses a telescope to make a smaller amplitude, so that he will not be exposed quickly.
It seems that it took quite a bit of effort for him to venture out there and not easily, of course, to gain control of their place.
In other words, his suspicions were right, the anti-sniper judgment was not wrong, the fault was in the use of strategy, he should not have used branches with strong color contrasts as cover on a cliff ridge full of grass.
The enemy is cunning, but exceptionally stupid.
Moving forward, I suddenly feel very wrong! The intelligence said that the opponent was a special forces with unusually rich combat experience, so there was no reason to make such a low-level mistake? Is it a trap to be exposed so easily?
If that's a decoy, where will the real threat come from?
This question flashed through his mind. Topographically, the real threat should be to the front and to the left.
There should be no problem in the back, and the enemy will not be so quick to encircle and copy the back to attack.
This side is under their control, and there are sentry officers scattered around, and a close-range melee is impossible.
The left side should also be safe, and the enemy can't go up from the canyon to the left very quickly. The key now is to wonder if Li Guoshi, who is approaching the valley, has found and locked on to the target on the mountain in front.
Again, he quickly made a judgment, and based on his previous reconnaissance of the terrain, it was estimated that the fastest speed from the entrance of the valley below to the right cliff would be more than three minutes, and it would take at least three minutes to quickly make improvised camouflage and climb slowly and carefully to the edge of the cliff.
That is, it has been at least six minutes since the enemy reached the mouth of the valley below.
What can the enemy do in more than six minutes? The terrain to the left is unfavorable, so they can't pose a threat here, except for the top of the cliff on the right, and the other thing that can control this place is the opposite cliff. Most likely, the enemy had another sniper, and the two dispersed.
What hasn't been exposed is the biggest threat.
But now he had to keep a tight grip on the cliff on the right, and if he moved, he had to open fire first, and he didn't have time to look at the top of the cliff in front of him.
