Here it comes! Shen Chen approached the rifle with a very slight movement, slowly moving the muzzle of the gun, and waited quietly.

More than ten minutes passed, and there was no movement, but Shen Chen did not dare to relax his vigilance at all.

Half an hour had passed, and he was still calmly waiting.

This is a good opponent, he is not intimidated, but he is more and more motivated.

The duel of snipers is such a sudden burst of murder in concealment and silence, who is more patient, who is calmer, who is more cleverly disguised, who is the final winner.

"Yaga!" Yamura cursed hatefully again.

The reflections that flashed from the opposite side made him sometimes nervous, sometimes relaxed, and the sunlight was now helping, and he had to put his eyes on the scope of the sniper rifle to look closely, one by one.

Similarly, his companion was holding a telescope and looking for a target.

It moved slowly, but it was still captured by Shen Chen, who had super eyesight.

Although there is no direct sunlight, the lenses of the scopes and telescopes are still brighter than the surrounding scenery. Moreover, neither Yamura nor his companions had camouflage on their faces.

Shen Chen didn't notice Yamura, but he saw the reflection of the telescope. He looked closely, finally found his target, and with great care and slowness, he aimed his gun at the enemy, holding his breath and gently pulling the trigger.

The devil's telescope is also fixed, and there it is, the enemy is there.

However, it was too late for him to say it. A bullet flew with hatred, shattered the lens of the telescope, and shot into the devil's head.

The sound of gunfire pierced the silence around them, and birds rose into the sky, chirping in the air.

Taken aback, Yamura quickly lay on the ground and turned his head to look at his companion.

The assistant he had chosen from the army had fallen crookedly on the grass, his face was a blur of flesh and blood, red blood and white brains mixed together, which was terrifying.

"Yaga!" It's the third time that Yamura has cursed.

But he felt an inexplicable excitement and excitement, and the opponent he was expecting should be on the opposite side. Great, finally got you.

He grinned and bit his lip, trying to calm himself down, and slowly moved to change sniper positions.

With a blow, Shen Chen also slowly lowered his body and continued to remain still.

This is a contest between masters, and he must maintain his vigilance and spirit.

Of course, it would be difficult to find his location just based on the shot he fired. Unless the enemy has already spotted him and is targeting him.

Shen Chen didn't have that sense of warning with pinpricks, so he didn't think that the enemy had discovered him.

Besides, although he didn't see Yamura, he judged that there should be more than one enemy.

Usually when a sniper is acting alone, or when he knows he is facing an enemy, he or she is more likely to use the scope to observe so that he can react quickly.

And Shen Chen confirmed that he killed a guy with binoculars, although this devil's shooting skills should also be very powerful, but the protagonist can't be him.

As the minutes passed, more than an hour passed, and Shen Chen became more and more sure of the existence of another sniper.

But this devil's sniper is well hidden and very patient.

Beads of sweat slowly ran down Yamura's forehead, and the boredom of waiting was also testing him. But the opponent should not be underestimated, and playing the winner's game requires not only physical strength and intelligence, but also patience.

However, when looking through a scope, not only is the field of view small, but the eyes are easily fatigued. Yamura had to retract for a short break.

Closing his eyes and recuperating, Yamura kept thinking. After he felt that he had almost recovered, he also thought of a way to lure the enemy.

Shen Chen found the target, it was a guy wearing a military hat, who was slowly raising his head, as if he wanted to observe.

Although the military hat only showed a little and did not reveal his face, Shen Chen was still sure to hit the target and smash the head of the devil in the military hat.

But just as Shen Chen was aiming and about to pull the trigger, he suddenly felt that something was not right.

Reckless shooting is a big precept for snipers, as they are after a one-hit kill. Moreover, never underestimate your opponent is a credo that snipers need to keep in mind.

Shen Chen stopped his movements and decided to wait a little longer and wait until the target was confirmed before shooting, instead of hoping that it was really a devil's dog head under the military hat.

Of course, Shen Chen's wait was fruitless, and it was impossible for Yamura to raise his hat too high and make his opponent realize that it was a fake target.

The temptation of the enemy failed, and Yamura had the judgment that the opponent had left. But he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, and he still maintained a state of full concentration.

And, as the sun turned westerly, Yamura felt that the situation was more favorable to him. Because, the reflection of the scope is not too worried.

Although Shen Chen's wait was fruitless, he also confirmed that it was a false target.

Although it was a fake target, Yamura revealed his approximate hiding place. Shen Chen's search range can be relatively concentrated, which is quite unfavorable for Yamura.

Shen Chen believed in his disguise and his instincts. He continues to stay still without being discovered by the enemy, but not moving does not mean that he will not use his cunning.

Reaching out and pulling a rope, he was tied to the grass more than ten meters away. The grass was swinging abnormally, and Shen Chen hoped to lure the enemy into firing and exposing the target.

Suddenly, the feeling of acupuncture suddenly made Shen Chen nervous, and without thinking about it, he rolled sideways and hid in the grass pit next to him.

At the same time as the gunshots rang out, a bullet hit the place where Shen Chen was lying down just now, a foot away. If it weren't for Shen Chen's quick reaction, this bullet would have hit him.

Shen Chen saw the landing point of this bullet and estimated the angle of infusion, and couldn't help frowning.

Condescension is an obvious advantage, and almost all armies in World War II had the habit of scouting and shooting from trees.

When the theory of sniping was not very perfect, even snipers would climb trees, taking advantage of good visibility and wide shooting range.

Although climbing to the canopy of a tree with a good view can cause a bigger blow. But this is a dead end, a dead end with no way back, and only death awaits the sniper.

Therefore, sniper masters generally do not make this kind of mistake. A sniper position without sufficient cover and escape route was not Shen Chen's choice.

Judging from the bullet fired, Shen Chen believed that the enemy's gunner was in a very high position, had a good field of vision, and his marksmanship was also very accurate.

If it is really in a tree, this devil can be said to have killed himself. Shen Chen stabilized his mind and observed it with a periscope.

"Smack!" The gunfire rang out again, shattering the small mirror in the periscope.

Almost at the same time, Shen Chen also spotted the enemy in the tree. The distance is about three hundred meters, hidden in the canopy of a large tree.

As soon as the periscope was broken, Shen Chenke did not throw it away. He quietly moved about a meter, took two deep breaths, and was ready to shoot, before he held the unusable periscope with his left hand and slowly stretched it out again.

Smash the periscope to prove that this devil is far from a qualified sniper. Despite his good marksmanship, his reckless shooting was his most fatal flaw.

Moreover, Shen Chen can move, but this guy who has a monkey on the tree is still in that position.

The gun went off and hit the periscope accurately. And Shen Chen threw away the periscope, held the gun in his right hand, and threw himself forward, already lying on the edge of the grass pit, and made a shooting posture as fast as possible.

The devil finished firing a shot, loaded the bullet, and aimed at the target again.

Yes, he saw the target, though only half of his face was exposed, and his gun was outstretched.

A bullet flew quickly, piercing the devil's chest, and the devil heard the sound of gunfire in his ears, and his finger pulled the trigger, but the muzzle of the gun was deflected.

After Shen Chen finished firing a shot, he quickly closed and rolled twice, and completed the action of pushing the bullet and loading it in the process of rolling.

He heard the gunshots and quickly took a shooting stance. A single-shot rifle cannot shoot continuously, and Shen Chen caught it in this extremely short time.

The devil in the tree fell, but with a slam in the air, he was hung in the air by the belt. Bloody corpses were floating around, like the ugliness of a dead pig.

It turned out that the devil climbed up from the back of the tree with the help of a strap that connected the belt, and he was also wearing "foot bag" shoes with his big toe forked.

In order to be more stable in the tree, after climbing up, this devil also tied himself with a strap, similar to the effect of a safety rope.

In fact, this devil's combat method is not very unusual, very special. It's just that it is rarely used on the battlefield in China.

In the middle and late stages of the Pacific War, the Japanese army would use the "desperate tactics" of climbing trees everywhere to make a final struggle.

For example, the remnants of the Japanese 18th Division frequently used this tactic during the retreat, which can be called "suicide fire": they tied snipers to tall trees to snipe the enemy's commander.

The reason why snipers are tied to trees is that even if they are spotted and hit, they will not fall, and they can continue to shoot until they die, without any intention of escaping.

The sniper who took over climbed the tree to untie the previous one, and then asked the other party to tie himself up before leaving.

Truth be told, it's a chilling tactic. Because, the Japanese snipers, they didn't plan to get off the tree alive.

In addition to going up the tree. Japanese snipers also chose to enter the ground: the spider cave. It sounds eerie to the name, and that's exactly what it is.

The so-called "spider cave" is a single bunker on the ground, digging a pit in the bushes or surface with a good view, climbing into it, and camouflaging it, which is almost impossible to detect in jungle warfare.

Of course, you'll have to stay motionless and endure the humidity, heat, and mosquito bites.

Like climbing a tree, it's a one-way mission.

Because of the prolonged immobility, the soldier had little chance of getting up and standing firmly.

In the end, when the mole-like Japanese snipers were captured in the earth cave, they were all red-eyed, skinny, and unable to stand up, but they stubbornly made a shooting posture.

It has to be said that this is an unimaginably crazy tactic. So much so that later, after suffering from the snipers in the trees, the U.S. military also found a way to deal with it.

An American lieutenant wrote in his memoirs: "The most effective way to deal with Japanese snipers hiding in trees is usually to use light machine guns to strafe the canopy where Japanese snipers are hiding, or to fire grapeshothot with 37mm caliber anti-tank guns, and directly shave the crown of the tree, and the Japanese snipers are naturally broken to pieces, but this is a slow task." ”

Another Marine recalled: "When Germany surrendered, we were still fighting in the Okinawa Islands. But when the news came, everyone fired guns to celebrate Victory Day, and the ships also fired guns to congratulate. I fired all the bullets of this victory into the canopy of a tree on the opposite side of the swamp, about a distance of a thousand meters, and a Japanese soldier fell from it. ”

One can imagine what kind of tragic end the Japanese snipers would have had after the Yankees responded with countless bullets and shells.

On the battlefields of the Pacific Islands, it is not uncommon to see the remains of a Japanese sniper tied up – a decomposing corpse hanging from a tree, which is both eerie and chillingly cruel.

It is precisely for this reason that very few images and photos of Japanese snipers have survived, and there are few ace snipers of the Japanese army.

Because the devil sniper has long since rotted into bones in the tall canopy and dark spider caves, leaving only the wreckage to tell the story of a lonely one-way journey.

Another companion was sniped to death, and Yamura was extremely angry and annoyed. Despite the shooting of his companions, as well as being killed, allowed him to find the position of his opponent.

But just as Yamura locked on to his opponent and pulled the trigger, he found that his opponent had moved "by chance".

Quickly retracting and rolling, thanks to the magical warning, Shen Chen could sense the wind of bullets sweeping overhead, and could even smell the smell of burnt hair.

But it was just a fraction of a second that made Shen Chen dodge this fatal shot, and made the old devil Yamura so disappointed that he was about to vomit blood.

Only this last devil is left, and it should be the strongest.

Shen Chen couldn't understand why the devil used three-person tactics. When he killed Miyamoto in the woods, and two other devils, he had this question.

After Shen Chen pondered carefully, he came to the conclusion that among the three tactics of the devil, one of them was the role of a dead ghost, and the other two were snipers and observers.

With such a conclusion, the devil who climbed the tree, and his constant shooting, can be explained.

Since this devil is a substitute for death, a decoy, and then exclude the observer with the telescope, now only the sniper of the devil is left, it is logical.

And after Shen Chen captured Miyamoto's Type 97 sniper rifle, he also knew that the devil had greatly improved in sniper weapons.

Although he didn't think that the devil would surpass him in sniper tactics, he was more cautious and more vigilant.

The sun was setting in the west, and the sunset was brilliant but short-lived.

Night is approaching, Shen Chen and Yamura are still in a tense confrontation, and they have to use their brains even more to figure out how to take advantage of the changed environment and kill their opponents.
