Chapter 0269: Standoff

The open land on both sides of the river is overgrown with grass, and there is a small abandoned wooden house at the foot of the hill in front.

I wonder if there are any soldiers there?

On the opposite side, there is a mountain canyon full of rocks, and it is the only way to enter the enemy's lair, and about a hundred meters into the cave is the entrance.

However, it has not yet been clarified where the enemy's light and dark guard posts are at the entrance of the cave, and the captain's plan is to take the stone ridge on the left without much cover.

The evening wind is getting colder and colder, and the diurnal variation of temperature is too great. Forward, lying on a rock, looking ahead with a telescope. The fire control team had quietly set up their machine guns on the hill that protruded forward, and the muzzle of the guns slowly moved to the open area in front of them.

As an observer sniper, he is constantly looking at the terrain and looking for suspicious spots. The men on the right flank of the guard cover had made a roundabout way to the hill behind the small wooden house, and they were to make a thorough survey of the place to ensure the safety of the right flank.

The moving left-wing group was actually on the edge of the river, and the terrain here was relatively more complicated.

The river zigzags in this section, and the detachment that wants to dig a hole through the ridge on the left must descend from them to the open ground on the bank of the river and wade across the river.

And this is precisely the danger, if the enemy has snipers or the like lurking anywhere on the opposite side, they can be effectively killed when the squad wades into the water.

"How are you here?" It was the captain who touched it.

"It's safe for now, and we shouldn't have a problem with lurking and concealment. I would like to move the latent position on the left flank to the other side of the river, so that the fire control team and the right flank can form a triangle and coordinate with each other. Besides, it's closer to the cave entrance, so we can provide you with effective support as soon as necessary. Forward analysis said.

"That's right! It's just that you have to be very careful in the past, follow the route that their people often take, move fast, and have to cross the river in five seconds, are you sure? ”

"The river here shouldn't be very deep, no problem."

"Good! But below is a high-density mixed minefield, so you have to be very careful, and you must not run around when encountering an attack, and you can only lie on the spot. ”

"Who hasn't done something stupid? Forced by the situation, you have to do it even if you know you can't do it. Rest assured, we'll be fine. You look at the dots first, and we're going down. ”

"Good! Move fast! ”

It was a great adventure to move from the open ground below to the opposite side, with minefields and possible enemy lurking snipers in front of you.

The fighting that took place in the past two days must have alerted the enemy, and observation posts and snipers were set up on the perimeter. So before leaving, I didn't feel at ease moving forward, and I unconsciously picked up the telescope and looked at the opposite hill.

After countless battles, he was now becoming more and more calm before any action. Although he decided to take risks desperately, he would never be hasty and blindly reckless.

This is related to the situation of the entire battlefield, and nearly 20 comrades-in-arms have caused unnecessary sacrifices, and no one is forgivable.

This saw an unexpected gain, but he was startled, and saw that on a rock near the side of the mountain on the opposite side of the telescope, the grass suddenly moved.

Just this moment, his heart suddenly lifted.

The distance of less than 500 meters is like in front of you under a high-powered telescope. But there was no human figure in sight, and there was no further movement in the grass.

Telescopes can close the distance, but they can't see through the dense grass behind them.

Although there was only a slight movement just now, and there was no more after that, it was enough for someone like Xiang Qian, who had experienced too much life and death.

Someone! Someone was there, it was his firm judgment.

He was convinced of this, and he was convinced that it must be enemy snipers who were there.

Staring at it tightly, he didn't move. The captain beside him was also a little nervous by his sudden freezing movements, and knew that he had discovered the enemy's situation, so he didn't move, like a log hidden in the grass.

"What's the situation!" He asked softly.

"Attention! At two o'clock, there was movement in the grass on the triangular rocks that protruded. We're being targeted, don't move! "He was calm, his voice low and decisive, unquestionable.

Everyone was nervous.

"Pay attention to that angle, tell the others to find their way, and slowly retreat into the woods with cover." He continued.

"Good!" The captain gently passed the command to the team members who followed him.

The people in the back squirmed little by little, slowly retreating. As they protruded to the edge of the rocks, they were not on a steep slope and the enemy was above, so they could only be seen now, and now they could only hold on and hold on.

A minute passed.

Two minutes passed.

There were no gunshots, and there was no further movement in the open area on both sides of the river. Did you just make a mistake and be dazzled?

What is needed at this time is to wait calmly, and there is a possibility of exposure if you move.

"Hold on!" Said in a low voice.

When there is no wind around, how can it be possible if it is not a human being, only there was a movement just now? His mind flashed back to his first time against an enemy sniper.

At that time, it was the first time to go to the battlefield, and as a recruit, he completely forgot about life and death after playing heroically, and had to fight wits and courage with the other party in order to survive.

Although he almost died at the hands of the sniper, he won the life-and-death battle in the end, and he has survived to this day.

The lesson learned from that battle was that you had to be patient when fighting the enemy's snipers, and you had the stamina to last longer.

Three minutes passed.

Five minutes passed.

There was still no further movement there.

His gaze never left the grass that had moved, and he knew that there would be movement. The enemy may well have spotted them, but he couldn't get a good perspective and couldn't shoot, so he had to move his position and change places.

But when he was transferred, he probably knew that he was being watched by the people here, so he didn't dare to move again.

The light is getting more and more blurry at this point.

"There's no movement, are you mistaken?" Xiong Guoqing, who was lying next to Xiang Qian, asked in a low voice.

The movement in the grass just now was clearly visible, and it was by no means dazzling. But after waiting for so long, listening to Xiong Guoqing's words, I also doubted myself a little when I moved forward.

"No, absolutely impossible! Remember, trust me, never move! I'm sure there's someone there! Must be an enemy sniper. "Moving forward, I felt sweat on my forehead.
