There are more and more footsteps. It was getting closer, and I didn't dare to move as I clutched my rifle in both hands. I couldn't help but look at the grenade that was the only one left in the grenade bag, and I thought to myself, if the enemy surrounded me, should I also pull the "glorious bullet" like the 2nd platoon commander or other soldiers and die with the enemy......

Surrender? At this moment, I really thought about surrendering, and when it came to dying, everyone would think of all possible ways to survive. I believe that the U.S. military will give me good treatment after I surrender, after all, I am a chief of staff, and the U.S. military also treats prisoners of war according to military rank.

But in the end, I gave up on it. If nothing else, so many soldiers before would rather die than give in, as their superiors, how can I, the chief of staff, smear their faces! What's more, as a senior cadre in the volunteer army, if I surrender in fear of death, what a bad impact it will have on the troops, and what a blow it will bring to the morale of the soldiers!

So I gritted my teeth and immediately unscrewed the grenade safety cover, holding the string in one hand and pulling the string in the other......

I could hear footsteps slowly approaching me, and the U.S. military's deerskin boots were trampling against shrapnel in the dirt, making some noticeable metal grinding sounds. They are careful and slow. I guess it's because they were told there was a sniper hiding here! Snipers always have a mysterious heroic color in the eyes of the US military, and as a result, they also "respect" the enemy's snipers. However, their "respect" at this time is not a good thing for me.

How can this damn time pass so slowly! Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, I couldn't help but curse secretly. I wanted to take out my pocket watch and check the time, but I really couldn't spare my hand.

Finally, the muzzle of a black hole appeared in my field of vision, followed by another, and another......

Finished!

I was ruthless, and I slammed the string and closed my eyes.

There was a loud "boom", and I heard a scream from the US troops.

It won't be so fast! There's still a time delay for grenades, isn't it? And why don't I feel any pain at all?

This was followed by several loud bangs, and the ground was littered with gravel and dirt, which made me realize that it was not a grenade explosion, but that our troops were there! Open your eyes and look at the grenade in your hand, it's still emitting white smoke! I was so scared that I threw it out.

The sound of "boom ......" artillery came after another, and the American troops on the position ran around looking for a hiding place, and some even ran past me with guns and did not bother to "pay attention" to me.

I just wanted to take advantage of this time to run back to the tunnel, but when I remembered the American sniper, I couldn't help but stop.

A sniper is different from the average American soldier, and if he abandons his target and runs around like everyone else, he is not worthy of being my opponent. So I think he should still be waiting for me somewhere in the position, just waiting for me to run out and give me the fatal blow.

drip! I didn't expect that when I waited for the artillery fire, I didn't dare to act rashly, if I died under the enemy's gun, it would be fine, but if I died under the shells of my own people, it would be called wrong.

Sometimes I think that maybe it's all my guess, maybe that guy wasn't waiting for me outside at all! Let's be honest. This fluke psychology is very tempting, several times I want to fight, anyway, rushing out is death, not rushing out is death! But in the end, I held back.

Because I know that the reason why snipers are different from ordinary soldiers is that snipers are more patient, more rational, and more tolerant than ordinary people! If I, as an ordinary fighter, rush out with a fluke mentality, that's fine, but not as a sniper.

Just when I was lying in the crater and didn't know what to do, suddenly a US soldier jumped into the crater where I was. Seeing this, I couldn't help but be overjoyed, pulled out the military thorn and aimed it at his neck, and just wanted to take advantage of the momentum, but stopped the movement in my hand.

The American soldier slowly turned his head with his mouth open, looked at me with a pair of blue eyes full of horror, and said to me tremblingly for a long time: "aitait...... Don’tkillmeplease！ (Wait, wait...... Please, don't kill me! ）”

I didn't kill him, not because he begged me, not because I was soft-hearted, but because I felt that he was still useful. I was really going to cut his throat and run out with his helmet on. But I think. The sniper in the U.S. army must have seen this confused GI running in, so it was hard to fool him with a low-level trick like mine, so I changed my mind......

"I won't kill you!" I replied in English.

Since there was a lot of gunfire around, I had to press his back close to his ears to make him hear me. It made me feel like he was shivering. In the face of death, no one can be as calm as ever.

"I can let you go!" I whispered in his ear: "But you have to run in the direction I say, my gun will always follow you behind you......"

As I spoke, I reached for the M1911 on my waist, but I felt empty. Only then did I remember that after I had emptied the bullet of the pistol just now, I threw it on the battlefield in order to hurry up with the bayonet.

So I pulled out the pistol on the waist of the American soldier, skillfully opened the safe, pointed to the direction of the pit mouth to the American soldier and said: "I won't kill you if you run in that direction, and you won't be allowed to turn back, otherwise I will return all the bullets in this pistol to you!" Do you understand? ”

"Thank you! I'll do as you say! The American soldier was a little incredulous at first, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was better to try anyway, so he nodded and agreed.

"Remember!" Again, I said, "Don't look back!" Run ......"

As soon as I gave the order, the American soldier jumped up from the ground and flew in the direction of the mouth of the tunnel. But before he could run a few steps, he suddenly stood up and slowly collapsed holding his chest!

When the American soldier was shot, I used all my strength to jump, pulled out my legs and ran towards the mouth of the tunnel.

There was no gunshot, and even if the sniper had fired at this point, I couldn't hear it because of the rumbling of artillery around me. But at least no bullets are hitting me now. I think he must still be immersed in the pain of killing his comrades with his own hands. The Yankees have always valued human life, except, of course, on the battlefield. It's just that killing an enemy on the battlefield and killing one's own comrades are two different things entirely.

Anyone who knows that he has just killed one of his own people will be hit psychologically to varying degrees, and snipers are no exception. So I took advantage of it. Fei also ran towards the mouth of the pit.

I have to admit that it is indeed a little awkward for a person like me in a volunteer uniform to run around in the US military group, and I am still a little scared in my heart. Isn't this the sheep that fell into the wolves? But fortunately, the wolves were so busy looking for a hiding place that they didn't have time to pay attention to me, so I ran to the front of the pit without danger.

I just wanted to lower my head and drill in, but I forcibly pulled back the foot that was sticking in. After hesitating for a few seconds, he threw the M1911 in his hand.

"Bang" There was a gunshot in the tunnel, and I couldn't help but secretly say that it was dangerous. I almost got shot and killed by the soldiers guarding the tunnel, but now they will think that I threw a grenade in it and roll to the side to dodge!

Feeling the dense shells like a storm outside, I didn't care if I guessed right or not, I gritted my teeth and got in, and while trotting at the waist, I shouted inside: "My own people, my own people, I am the chief of staff!" ”

"Chief of Staff, it's Chief of Staff...... Put away your guns! ”

I was relieved to hear this voice, and then, with the last bit of strength, I ran to the corner of the pit in a few steps, and sat on the ground panting.

"Chief of Staff, what a ...... Chief of Staff"

"Chief of Staff, are you alright?" In the dark tunnel. A volunteer soldier appeared in front of me with a dark face, looked at me with an incredible look and said, "Chief of Staff, let's all take you ......"

"What do you think I'm doing? Think I'm strong! I replied angrily, "I was not strong under the devil's gun, but almost under your gun!" See it clearly and then fight! ”

"Chief of Staff, you can't blame us for this!" Another soldier said with some grievances: "At this time, there are still people touching the tunnel, then of course we think it's a devil, not to mention that this tunnel is dark, who can see it clearly......"

"And a reason for you!" I patted him on the head angrily.

"Chief of Staff, we know it's wrong!" The black-faced warrior scratched his head and said, "Next time, we must see it clearly before we fight!" ”

"Look at your size!" I slapped him on the head again: "At this time, there are no more of us outside, what are you looking at?" Anything that comes in has to be beaten! ”

"Yes!" Two fighters answered. glanced at each other, it seemed that it was not right to see clearly, and it was not right to see clearly, and it was not right to see clearly, and I couldn't help but be a little inexplicable.

"Chief of Staff, your gun!" One of the fighters picked up the M1911 I threw in and handed it to me: "This thing scared us just now, we thought it was a grenade!" ”

"Without scaring you, can I get in alive?" I put away my pistol and ordered them, "Keep an eye on me, don't let the devils get in!" ”

"Yes!" The warriors responded.

After a few more words to the soldiers, I walked into the pit with my waist bent. Turn left and right along the tunnel, and soon you will come to the headquarters. Under the light of the kerosene lamp, Gao Yongxiang and Miao Huaizhi were sitting on the ground dejectedly, and Instructor Qin was pacing anxiously in the middle.

"Yo, what's going on?" I asked casually, patted the dirt off my body and walked in.

"Chief of Staff!"

"Chief of Staff!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as I spoke, the soldiers in the command headquarters jumped up from the ground as if they had been pricked by needles, which startled me.

Instructor Qin hugged my shoulders even more, looked me up and down, and asked in surprise and joy: "Chief of Staff, you didn't sacrifice!" ”

"Nonsense! Can you still stand here even after sacrifice? ”

"Great! Chief of staff! Instructor Qin looked at me and smiled, and after a while, he turned to Miao Huaizhi and Gao Yongxiang and said, "You two comrades! What should I say about you? Isn't the Chief of Staff standing here in a good manner? What do you say about people's ......?"

"We mean it's possible!" Gao Yongxiang replied.

"That's it!" Miao Huaizhi smiled stupidly: "We ran into the pit and counted the number of people, only to find that the chief of staff did not come in, and the cannon had already exploded at that time, and it was either a shell or an American devil outside, who would have thought that the chief of staff had not ...... Hehe......"

"Chief of Staff!" Gao Yongxiang said a little unconvinced: "Just now, the instructor thought you were because of you, and criticized us severely!" This is a criticism for nothing! ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but quip: "According to what you say, do I have to go out and die under the guns of the Yankees to call your heart?" ”

"I, I didn't mean that!" Gao Yongxiang couldn't help but be a little anxious when I asked him this.

The warriors laughed out loud when they looked at him.

At this time, the sound of the cannon outside the tunnel slowly stopped, and Instructor Qin waved his fist and said excitedly: "This cannon can beat those Yankees miserably!" We've won another battle! ”

"Hey! Instructor Qin just said that we are losing a battle! Gao Yongxiang said.

"A defeat?" I couldn't help but ask, confused.

"yes!" Gao Yongxiang nodded, and then said in Instructor Qin's tone: "What's the use of fighting a few more Yankees?" If you lose the chief of staff, you will lose the battle! The chief of staff alone can top a battalion or a regiment of the Yankees...... No, a division! ”

There was a loud bang, and there was another burst of laughter in the tunnel.

"Comrades!" After laughing for a while, I said to the soldiers, "We must be careful when attacking tonight, I have found that the enemy has sent their elite troops, and this unit is called the 'Rangers'. I've fought them before. So if you know a little about this unit, although there are not many of them, they are all veterans who can fight, which is very tricky! ”

"No wonder I'm fighting, it feels a little different!" Gao Yongxiang suddenly realized: "This is called 'rangers' or something, they have two hands, they are very good at using the terrain to cover themselves, which makes us feel a little helpless." Especially the sharpshooters among them, who gave us a shot coldly, and many comrades died in this way! ”

"Hmm!" I nodded, remembering the scene of the confrontation with the American sniper just now, and I couldn't help but feel a little scared.

I don't know if it's because I haven't fully adapted to the battlefield since I just came back from the rear, or if the sniper is so good that I didn't even get a chance to fire a shot in this fight. From the beginning, he fell behind, and since then he has been in a state of passive beating. Although I managed to escape from his gun in the end, this guy followed too closely every step of the way! It made me realize that the next time I fight him, I must not make any more mistakes, even small mistakes. Otherwise, it is very likely that you will end up with a bullet because of this mistake.

From the skills of this sniper, I can guess that this Ranger of the American army is not simple. The so-called rising tide lifts all boats, and the configuration in the army is almost like this. It is impossible for the U.S. military to match a sniper of such a good level with an average level team. So this Ranger should be the best of the best.

Thinking of this, I turned around and ordered: "Pass the order, send more men to strengthen the defense of the mouth of the tunnel, and be careful of what tricks the enemy does!" Be sure to be prepared for anti-virus, fire prevention, anti-explosion and other aspects! ”

"Yes!" Director Qin answered, and immediately picked up the phone and gave an order.

Will that sniper in the U.S. military shoot?

Could he have been killed in that shelling?

I was a little strange at this time, and I hoped that he would be killed, but I didn't want him to be blown up.

If he is blown up, he will have no opponent! But this guy is so powerful that I feel a little scared...... Tangled! But even if he hadn't been killed, he wouldn't have been able to deal with the volunteer soldiers who were hiding in the tunnel! At least I don't have a good idea!

But I soon found out that I was wrong, and I was very wrong!

It was getting dark, and to my surprise, the U.S. troops didn't make any big moves throughout the day, not even symbolically throwing a few grenades into our tunnel. Perhaps because of the lessons learned from the last time, they focused all their energy on the construction of the hilltop position.

But I wasn't worried about that, because we had the help of artillery, and that burst of artillery fire came up, and the fortifications were not devastated! Even with the modern equipment of the US military, I think there is no way to build a bunker fortification that can withstand artillery bombardment in half a day!

Except, of course, for tunnels.

It's just that the tunnels are all dug first, and the U.S. military can't find the ground if they want to!

As soon as it got dark, my hanging heart slowly relaxed. The volunteers are good at fighting night battles, and the US military is most afraid of fighting night battles, which has almost become an immutable law on the Korean battlefield. What's more, at this time, our army is still hiding in the tunnel, what can they do with us!

But at this moment, several gunshots rang out at the mouth of the tunnel. Originally, I thought it was the gun fired by the volunteer soldiers guarding the mouth of the tunnel, but when I listened carefully, it was wrong, the volunteer soldiers were all in the tunnel, and if they shot the gun, the gunfire would echo in the tunnel, and the sound would not be so small.

Could it be that the enemy shot the gun?

Sure enough, after a while, a soldier came to me panting and reported: "Chief of staff, there are enemy sharpshooters outside the tunnel, and we have sacrificed several comrades!" ”

"What?" Although I was mentally prepared, I still couldn't believe this fact.

How did that guy use to hit the volunteer soldiers hiding in the pit in this dark night......
