Chapter Twenty-Three: The Hilltop Position

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Hilltop Position

"Bang Bang ......"

While I was observing Heights 305, the battle suddenly changed. With several gunshots in succession, my sight in the scope turned red, and the three fighters fighting at the front line fell in a pool of blood without exception. I hurriedly turned the muzzle of my gun slightly, and moved my eyes to the three fallen warriors. It was found that the three fighters, without exception, were shot in the head.

It's a sniper

That was my first reaction, and I think this sniper was the one who almost killed me twice.

The reason is very simple, one is that the battle on the positive slope is very stable, and the cold gun unit of a squad led by Hu Zudi and the soldiers of Hu Biao's battalion successfully resisted the attack of the US army in front. This can be judged from the orderly gunfire of the volunteer soldiers behind us, and the screams of the enemy.

The other was because the sniper on Heights 305 didn't strike until then. Obviously, he didn't want to 'reveal' his position. But in the end, it was because of the tenacious defense of the volunteer soldiers on the high ground that they took action. The Rangers did not have much time to complete their mission this time, and it was now less than two hours before dark, which meant that the Rangers had to take Heights 305 within two hours and pose a substantial threat to the flanks of Heights 649.8 that our troops were stationing.

The time limit 'forced' the US snipers to take action.

Why did the sniper strike at this time? That's because he knew I was staring at 305 Heights here, and he didn't want to 'reveal' his position too soon.

A master sniper in the back of our army is definitely a big threat to our troops, so this time, I will block him no matter what

Then I looked at the 305 heights, and saw that the two wounded saw that their comrades had been sacrificed, so they desperately '' the machine guns in the front and continued to 'shoot' at the foot of the mountain......

But I know it's useless, and if I don't say it's a cry in my heart, they won't hear it at all, and even if they hear it, they won't withdraw. Without an order from above, to retreat is to flee. What's more, the comrades-in-arms were all sacrificed, how could a few of them have the face to escape alone.

This is the common idea of volunteer soldiers, so there are many volunteer soldiers, they hold their positions not to be heroes, nor because of the orders of their superiors but to watch their comrades fall one by one, they are not willing to live alone, they want to stay and fight with the enemy, they want to avenge their comrades

So, what I really didn't want to see, but what was bound to happen, soon appeared......

With two "bang" gunshots, the two fighters fell in front of the position with their heads tilted. Since the US sniper has already 'revealed' his position, of course he doesn't care about revealing it again.

"Bang bang bang......" Then I heard a few more gunshots, shots from the M1 rifle. Although there were a lot of gunfire on the battlefield, I was still sure that it was fired by American snipers. Because I had locked in the direction of his great rage, it was a few empty shots he had fired, the purpose of which was to empty the chamber of the bullet so that it could be ready for a new magazine. In addition, I think he also means firing a gun into the sky to demonstrate to me.

The war between snipers is so interesting, often both sides don't see what the other is like, they don't know what the other is called, and so on, but they can clearly feel each other's presence on the battlefield. The whole battlefield seemed to be a struggle between the two of us, and the other fighters were just a kind of foil......

The American troops soon appeared on the hilltop position of Heights 305, and sure enough, they were rangers, all with oil paint on their faces and berets on their heads. There were not many people coming up in this batch, only a dozen, and they cautiously covered each other and entered the hilltop position.

Several machine gunners and mortars quickly set up machine guns and mortars on the hilltop position, but to my surprise, they were not in a hurry to 'shoot', but vigilantly searched for something in our position. From time to time, a shuttle bullet or several shells were fired at suspicious targets such as grass or mounds of earth.

At the same time, the other Rangers behind them took out their sapper shovels to build fortifications.

They were searching for our snipers and providing cover for their comrades who were building fortifications behind them, and I soon realized that. Before they came up, they must have been told that there were a large number of snipers lurking in the high ground on the opposite side, so they behaved like this.

Dare to face the sniper directly and be so calm, I think only the American rangers can do it

I didn't shoot, and neither did the fighters

Because the soldiers all know that there are more than a dozen groups of soldiers in our two squads, and the dozen or so rangers in front of us are simply not enough for us to fight, and at the same time, it is not a good thing to expose the position too early to let the enemy be on guard. What's more, these dozen enemies will not pose much of a threat to our army for the time being. So the warriors all lay motionless in the lurking ground, silently watching the enemy toss around on the hilltop position.

This is a tacit understanding, this is the heart and mind, for us who lack advanced micro communication equipment, this is very necessary, but also the result of long-term training.

I, on the other hand, had an extra eye and looked through the scope to the ridge line of the hilltop position. I suspect that the U.S. sniper was somewhere I didn't know, silently watching us and trying to find us.

But as I thought, this sniper of the American army was not so easy to find, and I searched the hilltop position three times, carefully observing every suspicious place, small hills, craters, stones...... But there was no sign of the sniper. He was like a ghost, he could feel his presence, but he couldn't see or 'touch' it

The speed at which the Rangers built the fortifications was related to the fact that Position 305 had been bombarded by American troops for a while. However, after a while, foxholes were dug up on it, and then another group of American soldiers came up with machine guns and boxes of ammunition and ammunition.

At this time, it is obvious that the time has come for our troops to fire, because if they do not shoot at this time, those American troops will soon pour pieces of bullets and shells on our positions.

"Bang", this shot was fired by Yang Zhenshan.

An American soldier carrying a cartridge box was sprinting towards the hilltop position, and a shot hit him on the left side of the head with great precision. Most of the people who were killed by the bullet in the head screamed because the cranial nerves had been 'shot' into the skull and swirled into a pulp before the bullets swirled in the skull.

This American soldier was no exception, as soon as his head was raised, the beret was inertial and flew to the side, and the ammunition box also fell heavily to the ground, pouring out a long range of machine gun bullets inside.

At the same time, they 'operated' machine guns, mortars, rifles, and other weapons in their hands and frantically strafed and 'fired' at our positions, and bullets and shells rained down on our positions.

But because they don't know where we're hiding, and we're so scattered around each other, they don't pose much of a threat to us.

"Bang bang ......" followed by several more gunshots, which were fired by the fighters of the cold-gun unit.

I didn't see the people clearly, but I could tell their position from the white 'colored' smoke coming out of the barrels of their guns when they opened fire, and at the same time I secretly screamed in my heart that although we had a condescending geographical advantage, our position had been bombed by the American army several times, and at this time it was already full of scorched earth, and there was not much snow left, so it was very likely that this smoke would 'reveal' the location of the soldiers.

Although the distance between us and the enemy is relatively long, it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to find this little smoke on the position where the snow and scorched earth are 'mixed'. But I think this still can't escape the eyes of American snipers.

However, what reassured me a little was that the American sniper did not make a move, because I did not find any casualties among the fighters of the Cold Gun Unit, but the American troops on the 305 Heights fell under the guns of the soldiers one by one.

The Warriors didn't shoot very quickly, because they knew very well that if they fired at the enemy too often, or if the interval between shots was too short, the Rangers would be able to spot their position, even if they were not snipers. So they always take a shot and rest for a while, and after a while of serious aiming, they pull the trigger again.

After a while, the U.S. troops apparently realized their mistake, so they quickly shifted their fire to a battalion of soldiers led by Hu Biao. Machine guns, mortars, and rifles all turned their guns around and 'fired' at the fighters on the anti-slope position.

Sure enough, this move quickly 'disrupted' our army's position. The anti-cline position was originally a position facing the position on the top of the 649.8 heights, and there was no cover at all behind it, and a platoon of bullets from the American rangers hit it, and after a while, more than a dozen soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

Seeing the huge casualties of their comrades, the soldiers of the Cold Gun Unit were anxious, and they didn't care about the target of the exposure, so they accelerated the speed of firing, and in an instant, the bullets were 'shooting' towards the enemy on the 305 position one by one.

Although the number of soldiers in the cold gun unit is small, they are all 'fine' sharpshooters selected in the unit, and all of them have godlike marksmanship, so the hit rate is very high. Even if the opponent is the 'elite' troop rangers of the US army, even if they know how to protect themselves, they still can't escape the bullet that 'fine' 'shoots' at them. In a few moments, more than two dozen corpses of the rangers on the hilltop position fell, most of them machine gunners and mortars. The machine gunners and mortar gunners, one fell and soon another came to the bench, but there was no doubt that they would soon be knocked down by the fighters.

The soldiers chose a very wise target, the distance between the soldiers of the 305 Heights and the first battalion is more than 500 meters, although the quality of the US rangers is high, but after all, they are not snipers, and it is difficult for the US troops with rifles to pose any threat to our army. Not to mention short-range weapons such as submachine guns and carbines, which are almost useless when they stare at the battlefield with their guns, so the fighters ignore them without thinking about it.

So, on the 305 heights, there was a circle of corpses lying around the machine-gun and mortar positions, blood everywhere, but the rest of the place was very clean.

The rangers are not idle people, they are not shocked by the soldiers' 'fine' marksmanship, although people continue to die under the guns of the cold gun troops, but there are still people who continue to take over, and even some people hold light machine guns to hide behind the ridgeline, from time to time to come out to hit a shuttle, and then come out to play a shuttle in a different position later, but also let the soldiers have a little headache.

I didn't fire a single bullet the whole time, and I watched it all the time in the scope, like a third person outside the battlefield.

Because I believe that the reason why the fighters are fighting so smoothly now is entirely because I didn't shoot. I didn't shoot, that is, I hadn't 'revealed' my position, I didn't reveal my position, and the sniper in the US military didn't dare to 'reveal' his position easily.

We were both waiting, waiting for the other to strike first.

Sometimes, the level of the sniper rises to a certain height, and the things compared are no longer some camouflage skills, marksmanship, etc., because these things are similar on both sides, and it is difficult for the opponent to detect as long as they are motionless after camouflage. Otherwise, if you can let your opponent see where you are hiding at a glance, you will not be called a master but a rookie.

So at this point in development, the thing to compare between the two sides is actually very simple, that is, psychology, which can also be said to be patience. Whoever can't help but shoot first means that he has told his opponent his position and given the opportunity to the other party. Of course, if you can take out your opponent with a single shot, that's a different story.

But I'm not in a hurry in this situation, I should say that I'm very comfortable at this time. Because in front of the American snipers were the rangers, and in front of me were the fighters of the cold gun unit.

Although the quality of the rangers is high, they are still not as good as these sharpshooters of the cold gun unit after all. This can be seen in the corpses on Heights 305.

So, all I have to do now is wait, wait for the Rangers' casualties to get bigger and bigger, and wait for the American sniper to finally hold back and shoot, and seize the moment to finish off the opponent

But the American sniper was obviously very patient, and I admired him because he could watch the Rangers fall one by one under the guns of the cold-gun units and remain indifferent. And I'm sure he's locked the position of every soldier in our Cold Gun Unit, and he's perfectly capable of stopping the Rangers' casualties, but he's never been able to do it.

This may seem contrary to the fact that Americans have always focused on life, but it is indeed an essential element of a 'good' sniper.

"Bang" at this time, a gunshot caught my attention.

In fact, on this battlefield, every gunshot is almost the same, and sometimes it is even drowned out by the roar of explosions. But the reason why this gunshot caught my attention was because at the same time as this gunshot, I heard the terrible snort of a soldier of the Cold Gun Unit.

He finally made a move

I didn't look in the direction of the snort, because I knew that even if I did, it wouldn't change the outcome, and it might cost me the chance to find an opponent.

So I didn't want to, so I raised my rifle and aimed at the enemy position.

There were many enemies on the 305 position who fired at this moment, and there were both machine guns and rifles, so there was green smoke in several places, and it was difficult to tell where the shot just came from. But I still caught three of them in suspicious locations.

One is behind the rocks, which is a good sniper position, although there is green smoke coming out, but there is no trace of American troops, like a sniper shooting and then moving his position. But I quickly ruled out this position, because I soon found out that a machine gunner had come out of another position.

The remaining two are on the ridge line and behind the hill. I couldn't tell where the enemy sniper was hiding, so I had to keep my eyes peeled off both of them, hoping that my opponent would catch him when he struck again.

That's when I realized that the truth was not as simple as I thought, and I didn't have much of an advantage.

Although I had a big angle of condescending 'shooting', my biggest disadvantage was that I couldn't move, and at the same time, I didn't dare to shoot easily. Once I did, the U.S. snipers would soon know where I was. In addition, the anti-slope position is located on high ground, and the entire slope is displayed in front of the US military, once my position is known to the US military, even if I change positions, it will also be discovered by the US military, and even the moment I run out of the shelter, it is a great opportunity for the enemy to snipe me.

On the other hand, the US snipers, although they are below, can move freely and can change places with one shot. Because he was hiding among the running U.S. troops, it was hard for me to tell which one was him, or which one was the one who fired the shot......

"Bang" was another shot, and another scream was heard not far away.

When the volunteer was wounded, he was indeed able to hold back his voice when he was in the hospital, but at the moment when he was hit by a bullet, he was conditionally 'shooting' no matter who would call out, which also made me know that the US sniper shot again.

Who else can identify the lurking positions of the fighters and hit them with one hit instead of snipers? I immediately searched for an opponent in the US military camp at a rapid pace, and now I finally found out......

It was a small hill, and he was very fast, and immediately after a shot he 'pulled' back and moved to another position, but the moment he retracted, I saw the scope of his rifle flashing in the sunlight.

I noticed that the light was moving from left to right, which meant that it was moving to the right. So I aimed my crosshair at the right side of the ridge and waited quietly, waiting......
