Following Wang Xianru's footsteps, he walked forward tremblingly, at first the speed was 'quite fast', but after a while it slowed down. Looking ahead, Wang Xianru also looked dignified, stopped from time to time and squatted on the ground to observe, and only dared to take a step after a while, and also gestured at us, asking us to step on his footprints and move forward.

Seeing Wang Xianru's cautious appearance, the soldiers couldn't help but have a heart, and they didn't dare to take a breath of air, and they all carefully stepped on Wang Xianru's footprints. Fortunately, there was already a thick layer of snow on the ground at this time, and Wang Xianru's footprints were quite clear in this dark night, otherwise we would only be afraid that it would be difficult to move an inch.

After slowly moving in the wind and snow for nearly half an hour, Wang Xianru slowly relaxed, and his steps became faster and faster, and finally he beckoned to us and ran all the way in the direction of the enemy's position.

。 What's wrong? "After running for a while, I saw Wang Xianru squatting on the ground and looking around vigilantly, I couldn't help but lean in doubt and asked in a low voice.

"Not much?. Wang Xianru looked at me with some suspicion and confusion, and said, "Haven't you arrived?" This is the hiding place of the first class. I'm checking for mines around! "Hmm!" Hearing this, I couldn't help but blush, I, the head of the regiment, did really badly, followed Wang Xianru all the way, and I didn't know the destination of the first class at this time.

I stretched out a finger backwards and bent it, and then waved my hand again, and the first squad leader, Hu Zudi, quickly understood what I meant, and quickly led his fighters to find their own individual positions and lurk

These gestures are 'privately' agreed upon by our cold-gun troops, stretching out a finger to indicate a person, and if it is bent, it means a class. The second and third classes are so on.

Sign language is very necessary for a cold-armed army like ours, and in many cases, sign language can save our lives, or even the lives of entire troops. It's just that these sign languages are all invented and created by the soldiers themselves, and sometimes they are not very convenient to use, such as the sign language of one person or a class. If you can't see clearly in the dark, it's easy to misunderstand.

So I wondered why I didn't learn to learn the special gestures used by special forces in modern times! Those gestures are based on the analysis and experiment of experts, and some of the most clear meanings are found that are not easy to 'mix' postures! If only I could use that sign language until now, but there is no regret in this world that 'medicine' can be taken. Fortunately, my unit as a sharpshooter has good eyes, so there are not many such misunderstandings.

After arranging the position of the first class, Wang Xianru took us to the position of the second class, and then to the position of the third class, which was not so smooth at this time.

Wang Xianru had told us in advance that he had never been to this position in the third shift. This meant that he was not familiar with the terrain and that there would probably be a lot more mines than in the previous places. This once made me want to let the third class give up the mission and go home. However, the enemy to be annihilated by the third squad was the enemy's three machine-gun positions in the mountains. If we give up, it will mean that the communication between the Sukekou Highlands and the Blade 7 Highlands will still be in a state of interruption. This is not only unbearable for our side, but if we do not repel this part of the enemy, we will not be able to achieve our army's strategic goal of 'forceing' the enemy to retreat, and perhaps it will make the enemy even more rampant. So I had to grit my teeth and order Wang Xianru to clear the mines.

Wang Xianru really deserves to be the "king of mine moving", but after a while, one mine after another was raised. At first, I didn't pay attention, but after a while, I was aroused by curiosity, so I followed behind him and looked carefully, only to see that Wang Xianru seemed to have a natural sense of smell for mines, and I looked at the smooth snow and other places where there was no difference at all, and he was stunned that he could pick up mines from there. And the speed! Watching him toss a few times so easily, it will be one in a while, and another in a while. It's just that the soldiers are in no hurry to get the mines."

"Captain! What time is it? I don't know how long it took, Wang Xianru wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. He turned around and asked in a whisper.

I took out my pocket watch and looked at it, because it didn't have luminous light, so it took me a long time to see it clearly, and then I stretched out three fingers to Wang Xianru and shook it in front of him.

"Hmm!" Wang Xianru couldn't help frowning, and replied softly: "Regiment leader, there are many more mines in this land than I imagined, and the platoon can be exhausted." But

"Say!" Because it was close to the enemy's position, I tried to speak as quietly and briefly as possible.

"The mines can be cleared, but you are lurking in a hurry!" As he spoke, Wang Xianru pointed to the footprints on the ground.

I quickly understood what Wang Xianru meant, the sky was almost bright when the mines were cleared, and even if we found a suitable place to lurk, the traces of people walking in the snow could not be hidden. Because although the snow is heavy at this time, it is not enough to cover our footprints in a short time. At that time, the probability of being found was still very well known,

I secretly said in my heart that this Wang Xianru is really not bad, not only has the technology of mine clearance, but also thinks very carefully. Look at Wang Xianru again. He threw the problem at me and began to clear the mines on his own.

What to do?

I looked at the pool in front of me a little helplessly, wishing that I could only start clearing mines to speed up the speed of the Lord Confucian, and the result of the fierce cry would only send myself and the soldiers into the ghost 'gate' together.

Is it okay to go back like this?

No way! The soldiers all came up with a lot of energy, and went back like this, even if I promised the soldiers, I wouldn't agree! What's more, we can't afford to lose this man,

So continue to wait and wait for Wang Xianru to finish the mines?

This result doesn't seem to be much different from sending people to death, and I don't think any commander who is still sane will make this choice!

drip! It's neither left nor right nor "Wait, it seems like I have other options.

Thinking of this, I hurriedly patted Wang Xianru in front of me. Unexpectedly, Wang Xianru was startled, he suddenly turned around and gasped with a frightened look and said, "Commander, I'm clearing mines!" If you shoot me like this, you'll die! "Hmm! I couldn't help but feel embarrassed when I heard this. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "No one died!" ”

"Nonsense!" Wang Xianru couldn't help but smile and said, "If someone dies, we can still be here." It's already in the sky."

There were also a few imperceptible chuckles behind him, and the soldiers couldn't help it.

"That's it!" I gestured backwards and summoned the squad leader Huang Sihu. The three of them gathered together and whispered, "Time is pressing, our plans have changed slightly." Now it is up to the fighters to choose their positions, and then Wang Xianru takes the fighters one by one to the designated place to lurk. Is this plan feasible?

The last sentence was said to Wang Xianru, who was an expert in minesweeping, and at this time all plans had to be approved by him.

"Feasible!" Wang Xianru nodded affirmatively: "There are not many soldiers, there are only thirteen including the regiment commander, and you are all in groups of two, I only need to make seven trips back and forth." This can reduce the amount of demining to a large extent, and it can be completed in a little more than an hour or so. It's just that.

"Just what?. I couldn't help but ask, a little confused. But I thought to myself, this guy must not throw me another problem.

"Just like that," Xianru said with some concern, "the soldiers may be surrounded by mines, and they will not be able to move a single step, even if it is dark tomorrow night." Unless I come back tomorrow night and pick you up one by one."

"Then do it! Difficult? This sentence was said by looking at Huang Sihu.

"Nope!" Huang Sihu replied with certainty: "Our lurking is originally immobile, which makes little difference to us!" ”

Huang Sihu said so, but I knew that there was still a difference, because if there were dense mines around him, and the soldiers entered the lurking position and found that this position was not suitable, then they could not change the position even at night. And trying to find the right sniper position at a glance on this snowy night is difficult even for me.

But that's all there is to do now.

"Action!" As soon as I waved my hand, two warriors came up with cats on their backs, and I handed over the telescope hanging in front of my chest to the soldier at the head. The soldier didn't say much, took the binoculars and looked around earnestly. Then he quickly pointed in a direction. Wang Xianru didn't say a word, and walked cautiously in that direction with the two soldiers. The second group of soldiers took advantage of this time and took the telescope handed by the soldiers in front of them to observe the surrounding situation."

I also know that such observations are not accurate enough, especially in this dark night. Because at this time, it is very likely that there is a black crater from a distance, and when you go forward, you will find that it is a cliff that cannot be lurked at all. But because of time. The fighters had no other choice.

With Wang Xianru's back and forth. The fighters entered the hiding place one after another, one by one. In the end, I was left alone.

Black clouds, white snow. Except for a strong wind with snow 'flowers' all around. There is nothing in the black 'hole' 'hole'. I felt as if I had arrived in a void space. It's just me, the cold wind, the snow 'flowers' and the ground beneath my feet.

I knelt on one knee, my right hand clutching my rifle diagonally on the ground, letting the wind and snow blow on my face and hands. A feeling of loneliness also hit me with the cold wind, and an inexplicable fear arose in my heart.

I can't remember how long I've not felt this way, and I was amazed and delighted by this feeling. To my surprise, I realized that I would still be afraid when the war was fought to this extent; The good news is that I know I'm not a killing machine yet.

Perhaps, it should be said that anyone will be scared at times. It's just that some people can suppress their fear and fear deeply in their hearts, and they will slowly forget it after a long time. However, at a certain time or in a certain place, there will always be certain people or things that evoke the fear that has been pressing down in the heart for many years.

Now, for example, I'm scared.

At this moment, I knew that what aroused the fear in my heart was loneliness",

It's a very subtle feeling, and I'm afraid of being alone. But at the same time, it seems to have some enjoyment. Because it at least gives me a sense of what it feels like to kill and be killed for a moment, and it at least reminds me of my compassion for the lives that have been lost, both in the enemy and in the comrades."

Suddenly, a gentle tap on the shoulder made me startled from my thoughts, and I turned my head to look, only to find that I didn't know when each other showed that I was only standing on the side of the stunned

"Commander, what's wrong with you?" Wang Xianru lowered his body and asked in a suspicious tone.

"What's ready?.

"Just now" you see the difference.

Wang Xianru hesitated and said: "You just now, it's like a child, I, I thought I was mistaken."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, and without explanation, I didn't answer, but asked, "Are the comrades all lurking?" Will the location be ideal?

"I'm not sure either!" Wang Xianru replied: "I have never been to this place either, and I will not know until dawn when I can see the enemy's position clearly!" ”

I nodded, understanding the meaning of Wang Xianru's words. Some of the locations we have chosen now look very good, and we may not find out until dawn that there is no enemy position in that place!

"Commander, it's your turn, have you chosen a position?"

I casually raised my binoculars and looked at the enemy's position, pointed to the barbed wire fence that the enemy had laid in front of the position, and replied, "Just be there."

"What?" Hearing this, Wang Xianru couldn't help but be surprised: "Regiment leader." It's only about 40 meters away from the enemy's position, it's too close! It's easy to be spotted by the enemy! ”

"That's it!" I nodded affirmatively.

"Hmm!" Seeing that I insisted, Wang Xianru didn't say anything more, nodded and took me to climb towards the top of the mountain.

I don't know if the enemy thinks that no one will be able to pass through the light curtain of their searchlights, or if they are very relieved by their minefields, the American troops in charge of guarding the machine-gun positions have not 'shot' the light of their searchlights in our direction at all, even if only once.

If they do, I don't know what to do. Because at this time we are in a minefield. There is no way to lie down on the spot, and if you do this, you are afraid that not only will you not be able to lie down, but you will also be thrown into the air by the mine as fast as possible. But fortunately, the U.S. military has no intention of doing this at all. So Wang Xianru and I moved slowly through the minefield silently. Until they came to the front of the enemy's barbed wire. Here, we can even hear the "creak" of the American military when they shake their searchlights.

I took the light from the searchlight as a reference, found a position in front of the barbed wire, and carefully avoided the can box hanging from the barbed wire, and put the rifle on the ground through the gap in the barbed wire, and in the meantime almost let the spikes of the barbed wire hook the white cloth I had wrapped around the rifle."

I patted Wang Xianru lying beside me. Motioned for him to go back. Wang Xianru looked at me, then at the enemy's searchlight on the position, and after a long time nodded. Then he turned around without saying a word and disappeared behind me like a ghost.

I'm the only one left, but strangely not as lonely as I was just now. Maybe it's because of the barbed wire fence in front of you. Maybe it's because of the spinning searchlight not far away, or because of the "sonorous" sound of canning boxes drifting in the wind on the barbed wire."

I can't be sure!

But one thing I can be sure of is that it is not only my comrades-in-arms who can exclude the loneliness in my heart, but also the enemy!

I'm kind of fond of it, the feeling of lurking under the nose of an enemy, it's kind of like playing hide-and-seek with my friends as a kid. I also like to wait here for the day to strike a fatal blow at an unprepared enemy, which makes me a little excited. It's a bit like when the kids aren't looking. I snuck up from behind and scared him!

The difference is that now I use guns to scare the enemy! And the enemy, frightened by me, will never wake up again.

I thought about it. I started digging into the snow beneath me. In order not to make a sound, I moved very slowly, so slow that it was not so much digging as grabbing and skimming the snow out one by one.

The reason for this is that I don't want the U.S. military to get up early the next morning and see a bunch of white humanoid protrusions in front of their barbed wire. In that case, even if I have snow on me, they will be suspicious of me. Once they get suspicious. I don't think they would mind using a few bullets to prove it,"

Finally, after more than half an hour, my great project was over. At this point, I was stuck in the snow, and I even covered my rifle and hid it deep in the snow. Now I just have to wait patiently in this position for a while. The snow 'flowers' that fall from the sky will soon wipe out all the traces I have left behind. The next day, the enemy will see a very natural and smooth slope. The chill continued to seep through my skin into my bloodstream, and from it to my whole body. This made me realize that although it is easier to camouflage a cold gun in winter than in autumn, and it is difficult to detect enemies even if you shoot, it is no less dangerous than in autumn. Because while we are dealing with the enemy, we also have to deal with the cold.

It's okay now, the weather in early winter is not so cold that it can't stand it, but it's still a very dangerous thing to lie on the ground motionless for a day and a night in such snow. And the weather will get colder and colder, and the tests that the warriors will have to endure will become bigger and bigger, how will we deal with these ensuing difficulties?

I do not know!

All I can do now is wait. Wait"
