Chapter 121: Light Source
I glanced at Miao Huaizhi. I was taken aback by the sudden situation. Miao Huaizhi immediately gestured to me to get rid of them, and I shook my head after thinking about it.
Admittedly, having a few U.S. troops next to us does cause me a lot of distraction. Even if you are a sniper with good psychological quality, the thought of a few American soldiers smoking and chatting in the fire fort next to you will be more or less stressful. Besides, in this case, if it is a miss, there will be no second machine gun at all. Because we're going to have to deal with these U.S. troops around us right away.
But this is also a matter of no choice, maybe we can silently deal with a few Yankees next to us. But the enemy's sniper is hiding underneath, and the movement above can be hidden from others, but not from his ears. And once the sniper notices something, then the duel between me and him will undoubtedly be a complete loss.
Maybe I can switch places......
But I looked around and saw that only the place where we were lying on our stomachs was the safest place. The ridge is not big, there are not many places to hide, and if we climb somewhere else, those Yankees will just take a flashlight and we will be spotted by them. And now we are next to their position, but it is the place where their flashlights are least likely to shine.
The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, and at this time, I can truly understand the true meaning of the side sentence.
Then I thought about it. Although lurking here will bring me great psychological pressure, at least there is a little benefit, that is, because of the presence of these US troops next to me, the US snipers hiding in the shadows will also ignore the threat from this direction.
I've heard that a good sniper tends to sense danger when the enemy's gun is pointed at him, and that's the weird sixth sense. I believe there is, because it has happened to me. This sniper in the U.S. military is very good, so I'm sure he will have it too. But if he came to the direction of this sixth sense, there happened to be a few people of his own smoking and chatting, would he think that he was misjudging or nervous?
Thinking of this, I made up my mind not to change positions.
I closed my eyes and rested for a while, trying not to pay attention to the words of the American troops beside me, and devoted all my energy to observing the col in front of me.
There's no reason for that! How could you not find anyone!
After searching again and still finding any clues, I began to mumble in my heart. It should be said that it is not difficult to find the sniper of the US army, because the mountain col below is not large, and it is only more than 100 square meters. For the enemy to take control of the tunnel, his lurking position must be in a straight line extending from the mouth of the tunnel. If they were lurking somewhere else, there would be no way to get their bullets into the tunnel, let alone hit the volunteer fighters in the tunnel, unless their bullets would turn.
So there are very few places to look for, just three straight lines extending from the mouth of the three tunnels. And the focus of my search was on the extension of the mouth of the pit where I was, because I felt that the person I was looking for was probably there. But there were so few places that I searched carefully in the scope several times, but I still couldn't find anything......
Is it that the U.S. military is lurking too well? Or is there something wrong with my eyesight! I couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. In this case, it should be said that the situation is in my favor, now I just need to find him, and then pull the trigger. But I just couldn't find the target.
I wish the sniper would strike again so I could easily spot his position and win. At this time, I even regretted that I had given the order not to let the soldiers act rashly. I know it might cost a lot of sacrifices, but now I think it's worth it. If we don't get rid of this guy, we might all be trapped in this tunnel and won't be able to get out in the future! No amount of sacrifice can be bought!
"Boom!" With a bang, a grenade exploded outside the tunnel.
This is the fighters in the tunnel, following my orders, throwing a grenade every few minutes. The grenade kicked up a cloud of dust and smoke outside the tunnel, and the shock wave shook the searchlight hanging from the mouth of the tunnel.
I took advantage of this time to observe the col below again, but still no one moved, and there was no flaw at all.
At this time, the Yankees next to us let out a burst of arrogant laughter: "Those reds don't have anything to do, do they?" They even hoped that a random grenade would blow up George! ”
George must have been a sniper of the U.S. Army, and listening to the words of this U.S. soldier, I couldn't help but secretly recite the name of this terrible opponent.
"Let them blow it up!" Another U.S. soldier replied, "No one can kill George, and he's not there at all......"
What the? He's not there......
Hearing this, my head exploded with a bang. He's not there, so where can he be? Where else can you get a bullet into a pit?
I slowly moved the scope back of the extension at the mouth of the pit, and I understood it when I saw another ridge in the darkness on the 597.9 heights. It's not that I have bad eyesight, it's not that the enemy's latent skills are high, it's that the opponent isn't here. He is lurking on the opposite slope.
The shape of the 597.9 Heights is like a triangle, and it is because of this Yankee that the 597.9 Heights are called Triangle Mountains. And the tunnel built by our volunteers is on the two sides of the triangle. I always thought that if the enemy could hit the warriors in the tunnel, of course they were lurking outside the tunnel. But I didn't expect the enemy to be outside the tunnel, but it was on the slope on the other side of the tunnel, more than 300 meters away from here......
Thinking of this, I immediately aimed my scope at the inclined plane opposite the tunnel, but to my disappointment, I couldn't see the distance of more than 300 meters at all on such a low visibility night. There was nothing but darkness on the other side.
I took a moment to take out my pocket watch and look at the time, it was already more than twelve o'clock in the evening, and it was only a little more than an hour before the general attack time agreed between me and Commander Zhang.
Time flies, and if I had a little more time, I could consider slowly touching my way back into the tunnel, and then moving from the passage to the position of the American sniper on the other side, and then repeating the same trick to find his location. But I don't think time has allowed me to do that now, and it will take a lot of work for us to crawl back from under the noses of the enemy, let alone do it again!
Just give up?
No way! As soon as our artillery is fired, I can only hope that the American snipers will die under the fire of our army, otherwise with this guy on the defend, our hope of counterattacking the enemy's surface positions tonight will be dashed.
Will this sniper of the US army be killed by the fire of our army? This is very unlikely, snipers always have a way to protect themselves.
At the same time, I don't want to let go of such a good opportunity, if I wait until the counterattack to fight with him, then he will be in the high place and I will be in the low, and he will be in the dark and I will be in the light, I am afraid that I will not have a chance at all......
Gotta kill this guy!
I gritted my teeth and made up my mind, but how to fight! The place where he was hiding was out of my sight. He didn't even have to bother lurking, the smoke, dust, and night were his best disguise.
All I need now is light. As long as the slightest light shines in that direction, as long as I can see where he is, I can guarantee that he will not have a chance to go to court-martial. This may still be a good thing for him, and I've always been very helpful, so I'm here to help!
Where is the light...... I looked at the searchlight hanging from the mouth of the tunnel and was shining brightly into the tunnel, and I had an idea. Immediately gestured to Miao Huaizhi beside him, and ordered him to get rid of a few Yankees next to him as soon as I waited for me to shoot, so that I had no worries. Miao Huaizhi nodded knowingly, pulled out Tokarev pinned to his waist and was ready.
I took a slow breath, not daring to make too much noise, for fear of alarming the Yankees beside me. Then I let my eyes rest for a while, and when I was calm, I turned my gaze to the searchlight at the mouth of the tunnel.
In my scope, the searchlight was like a flashlight that was upside down on the ground, and the light penetrated through the gap between the searchlight and the ground, forming a red circle of light. My rifle, on the other hand, was aimed at the side of the aperture.
I didn't shoot, I waited quietly for an opportunity, an opportunity created for me by the fighters......
"Boom!" With a bang, another grenade exploded outside the tunnel. The soldiers have always carried out my orders to the letter. But perhaps because of the lack of ammunition, the time interval between throwing grenades is getting longer and longer.
But none of this was my concern, and I put all my attention on the searchlight in the scope.
In the smoke and dust that exploded. The searchlight was shaken by the shock wave of the grenade, and the light was bright or dark. My index finger on the trigger tightened as well.
The amplitude of the shock was not large enough, so I didn't shoot.
As the minutes ticked by, another grenade was finally thrown out, and with a loud bang, the searchlight was shaken...... Just then my gun rang off, and with a "bang", a bullet spun out of the chamber and flew out. With the sound of gold and iron clashing, it hit the side of the searchlight, and only the searchlight was flipped over.
Suddenly, a bright light swirled over my head. Along with the lights, there was a rifle in my hand. I had already estimated where the sniper might be hiding, and I had already adjusted the muzzle of the gun to this direction one step ahead of the lights.
The light quickly swept across the slope in front of him, illuminating the black scorched earth, craters, machine gun forts, and the stunned American troops in the machine gun forts......
The muzzle of my gun moved rapidly with the light, and suddenly the muzzle of my gun stopped, and I pulled the trigger without thinking.
"Bang ......", a bullet flew out,
Just now, in my sight, a U.S. soldier wearing a beret appeared. I knew he was the George that the U.S. military was talking about, because I was familiar with the rifle he had in his hand, which was an almost identical M1c with sniper scopes in my hand.
He was as I thought, without any pretense at all. He easily set up a couple of sandbags on the opposite side, then crouched in front of the sandbags with his gun set up and leisurely aimed at his target.
He probably thought that I couldn't get out of that pit under his watchful eye! Maybe he thought that even if I could get out of the tunnel, I wouldn't be able to spot him in the dark, because I didn't have a light source at all.
But obviously he was wrong, and I could do both. Because of this mistake he made, I found him.
But I was only spotting him, and I wasn't sure if I hit the target. Because the moment I pulled the trigger, the light of the searchlight had already slashed past. I almost fired a bullet into the darkness from the image I had just made.
I wanted to shoot the rest of the bullets in that direction, but I quickly lost desire. Because I know that if the first bullet misses him, then the other bullets have no hope of hitting him.
"Chief of Staff, go!" Miao Huaizhi pushed me beside him, which pulled me back from his own world.
I was so engrossed in my eyes, in my vision, and even in my mind that I was ignoring everything else. At this time, he was pushed by Miao Huaizhi, and he suddenly woke up.
When I turned my head, there were already three bloody corpses of American soldiers lying in the machine gun fort next to me, and I didn't have to think about it to know that Miao Huaizhi did it. Miao Huaizhi was wielding an anti-aircraft machine gun in the enemy's position and firing wildly into the darkness.
"Let's go!" Miao Huaizhi shouted at me while strafing: "What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry back to the pit, I'll cover ......"
"Boom!" With a bang, before Miao Huaizhi finished speaking, a mortar shell exploded not far away, and Miao Huaizhi fell to the ground holding his left leg and couldn't get up for a long time.
Seeing this, I pulled Miao Huaizhi out of the machine gun fort. Ignoring his pain, he grabbed Miao Huaizhi's collar and dragged him towards the mouth of the tunnel. In other words, this Miao Huaizhi person doesn't look fat, but it's still quite heavy to drag, but fortunately, it's downhill all the way from the ridge to the mouth of the tunnel, so the speed is not slow.
But this made Miao Huaizhi anxious, and shouted at me all the way behind: "Chief of Staff, don't pay attention to me, you go quickly!" ”
I ignored his call and jerked up again. By this time we had run to the bottom of the ridge, and with the cover of the ridge, most of the enemy's bullets could not hit us, and the searchlights could not shine here, and it was safe for the time being, as long as we got back into the tunnel before the enemy ran up the ridge.
But I couldn't seem to do that, because by this time there was already the shouting of American troops on the ridge, and the sound was behind me. So I stopped abruptly, and while the U.S. troops hadn't noticed us in the dark, I casually threw two grenades in the direction where the sound came from, and then pulled Miao Huaizhi and ran again.
"Boom!" With two loud bangs, there was a scream of the US military behind them.
I didn't dare to look back to appreciate my masterpiece, so I pulled Miao Huaizhi towards the mouth of the pit with all my milking strength. It's just that by this time we've gone downhill and walked up a relatively gentle section, and the speed is getting slower and slower!
A few rays of light flashed around me, and I felt the danger coming from behind me, it was the Yankees who turned on the flashlight. I knew in my heart that once we were allowed to shine on these rays, we would soon become a hornet's nest.
Because I was afraid of being discovered by the United States, Miao Huaizhi didn't dare to shout at this time, but just grabbed my hand and tried to pull it away, but I just didn't let go. While dragging him to continue running, he pulled out the M1911 from his waist and threw his hand behind him to hit.
"Bang bang ......" With a few gunshots, several flashlights lit by the US military were extinguished on the spot.
What made me very helpless was that the flashlights of the US military were like glowworms, the more they hit, the more they were killed, and a few more were killed. Moreover, the gunfire also broke our position, and soon a few rays of light shone towards us, so frightened that I tried my last bit of strength to drag Miao Huaizhi and run. The bullets "clicked and ......" all the way behind.
At this moment of crisis, more than a dozen black shadows suddenly ran out of the mouth of the tunnel, and they did not speak, but raised the submachine gun in their hands and swept in the direction of the American army, only to make a scream in the darkness. Two soldiers ran up quickly, snatching Miao Huaizhi and me one by one.
After entering the mouth of the pit with the help of the soldiers, I couldn't help but feel weak again, and I sat down on the ground as soon as my butt was sitting. looked at the injury on Miao Huaizhi's foot beside him, and found that it was nothing wrong if he was just hit by a small piece of shrapnel, and the two couldn't help but look at each other and smile happily.
"What are you having fun with! Laughing like this when you almost died? Beside him, there was a reproachful voice from Director Qin: "I said Chief Counselor, I know your style of leading troops to fight, so I haven't stopped you from going to the battlefield." But this time you went overboard! You're the commander in chief of two high grounds, but you're on your own......"
"Instructor! And me! Miao Huaizhi interjected beside him.
"You what you! I was just about to say you! Director Qin said angrily at Miao Huaizhi: "Do you know that the chief of staff went out alone, even if he didn't stop or report, he went out with him?" You're both oxen, aren't you? If it weren't for the little grandson guarding the tunnel who inadvertently mentioned it, I would have organized troops to meet here immediately, and I see you still laughing......"
"Instructor! It's no wonder that the Chief of Staff is no wonder! Miao Huaizhi defended me: "The chief of staff went out this time, it was the sharpshooter who went to fight the enemy, if we don't knock him out, then our counterattack tonight will be difficult!" You didn't see that no one but the chief of staff could really knock that guy out! ”
"Hmm! Knocked out? "Instructor Qin is a smart person, and of course he knows the stakes involved.
"I don't know!" I smiled wryly and shook my head, "But we'll find out soon!" ”
