Chapter 147: Sniper vs. Sniper
In the grass opposite, several people were covered in sheltered leaves and green grass, reminding each other and observing the movements around them.
An Eighth Route Army shooter frowned as the sunlight shone obliquely on the notch where the rifle was aiming. The upper edge of the notch glows with a blur, making aiming more difficult.
But now it seems inappropriate to change positions temporarily, and although the enemy is not visible, three alert sentries have been killed and wounded in two days, and the enemy will certainly come and attack with cold guns.
Yamura glanced at Miyamoto obliquely, and Miyamoto held out a thumbs-up, a code between the two of them, indicating that he was ready.
Originally, these two devils tried their best to compete with Shen Chen, but they never met. After attacking the mine, Shen Chen returned to the base with the brigade, which made it even more impossible for the two devils to find it.
In this regard, Yamura and Miyamoto are of course unwilling. They felt that the best way was to take the initiative and lure the opponent over.
Just because of the attack on the mine, the devils were on fire, and the plan for these two guys was approved, and several other good gunmen of the devils were also sent to participate in the operation, which was considered to be revenge.
……………
The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was the first war in modern Chinese history in which a foreign enemy invaded and won a complete victory, and it was also the war in which the Chinese nation paid the heaviest price.
Guns are inferior to people, training is not as good as people, but our ancestors used their blood and lives to defend the dignity of future generations to be able to be a Chinese.
Only in such an environment can we feel the respect and preciousness of the people who supported China's destiny in that era.
In such a time of suffering, there are still so many people who have no hesitation in defending this land that gave birth to us and raised us for the sake of this country. From them, we can see the dignity of a nation.
But what makes people feel a little sad is that those ancestors shed blood and sacrificed to exchange for a comfortable and peaceful life for future generations, so that future generations can drink tea or coffee, and pretend to be wise people to point fingers at them when they are bored.
Shen Chen did not look down on others because of his knowledge and skills, but the longer he stayed, the more he was full of respect for everyone who paid for the anti-Japanese resistance.
No matter how much it took, it was this trickle that converged into the torrent of the War of Resistance and supported the fate of China in that era.
And Shen Chen also thinks that he is a member of the Anti-Japanese War and has his own responsibilities and obligations.
Therefore, when the devil also counterattacked by sniper attacks, when his own side continued to suffer casualties, Shen Chen knew that he was going to go up.
It's not that you can't do it without yourself, but if you go up early, there is a high possibility that there will be fewer casualties.
Of course, for the sharpshooters sent by the devils, the main force also has a response action, that is,-for-tat. They also sent sharpshooters to lurk secretly on the edge of the base area, waiting for an opportunity to take out the enemy.
Shen Chen was sent by the guerrillas, and discussed in advance with the sharpshooters of the main force to defend in pieces and fight the enemy together.
Shen Chen took the initiative to ask to lurk in a large forest, and made full preparations.
Insect repellent is necessary for snipers lurking in the woods and grasses to avoid ants and insects.
Extending from this, if you point to the back, suddenly a snake crawls. Well, thinking of this, Shen Chen had goosebumps all over his body.
Food and water are also an issue. Military high-calorie compressed food that tastes like chewing wax, Shen Chen doesn't have it. But this can be worked, fried in oil, and then added lard or sugar, barely able to replace.
As for drinking water, he also thought of a way. I got a rubber tube from the medical staff and made a homemade water bag, so I could suck and drink.
The knock-off version of the camouflage uniform will fade when it gets wet, but this is a good thing, and the outlines of the various color blocks become blurred and more hidden.
At the same time, Shen Chen also sewed buckles on the camouflage uniform, which can easily bundle branches, leaves, weeds and other things.
In addition to camouflage uniforms, Shen Chen also made a camouflage net with fishing nets, hemp rope, and rag strips, and everyone's evaluation was quite good.
He and his follower Yu Baogen repeatedly practiced hand gestures, so that Yu Baogen could understand his meaning without having to speak and command.
After everything was ready, Shen Chen and Yu Baogen took their equipment and quietly sneaked into the forest in the dark night.
This forest covers a large area and is still relatively famous in the local area. Because, in the past, there were often people who robbed the road and killed them here, in the depths of the trees. I don't know how many homeless bones are buried.
Therefore, there are almost no single riders who dare to walk here, and there are no people who dare to walk the night road.
The forest is terrifyingly quiet, and the rising morning sun will shine through the forest gaps with some red light, dyeing the forest red, yellow and mottled.
The dew that came from the night moistened the grass wet, and a drop of dew slid down from the branches and leaves and fell in front of Shen Chen's eyes.
Although he was wearing a rubber raincoat, his trouser legs were also wet with dewdrops. And in the stark silence of the early morning, even the slightest sound could be heard.
Although he was not sure where the enemy was, Shen Chen felt that the enemy would not give up on this forest.
This is because it is almost the junction of the enemy-occupied area and the base area, and the terrain is complex, and there are many places for concealment.
It was this analysis that led him to believe that the enemy was also in this great forest. That is, the showdown has begun.
It doesn't matter if it's a few against a few, it's a battle between warriors and invaders. It's not a promise, it's that both sides want to kill their opponents and end the torment that could have dragged on for a long time.
And when the view is obscured, in the most silent woods, the ears are more useful than the eyes.
Shen Chen squinted his eyes slightly, carefully discerning all kinds of tiny abnormal noises. Yu Baogen, on the other hand, was more than 20 meters away from him, slowly turning the telescope and observing carefully.
Both sides may be waiting, or stealth, and psychologically, Shen Chen should have a certain advantage.
Time is passing by minute by second, "Bang Hook!" "Gunshots rang out in front of the left side of the woods.
Judging from the sound of gunshots, Shen Chen estimated that he was outside the forest, and he didn't know if it was the devil who was shooting, or the sharpshooter of the Eighth Route Army.
But this is only a straight-line distance, under the barrier of trees and weeds, coupled with constant movement, the distance and direction will constantly change, and Shen Chen does not want to rush straight over.
Who will be the hunter and who will be the prey, a comprehensive test of wisdom, courage, perseverance, skills, the losing side will bleed and will die.
Shen Chen is not without this kind of extravagant hope, but the bloodthirsty impulse, the passion to kill, and the desire to fight are the driving forces that support him.
Moving slowly, Shen Chen and Yu Baogen alternately covered, constantly changing positions.
Although this duel has only just begun, and the enemy may be far away, neither of them dares to be negligent in the slightest.
The trees ahead are somewhat sparse, with shrubs and grasses predominantly growing. It's not very dense either, and the sunlight falls through the gaps in the foliage, creating dappled light and shadows on the ground.
Staying still is probably the best thing to do, but the devils are more anxious than they are.
Moreover, even the most careful movement can startle the birds in the forest, and whoever is exposed will die, and the duel between the masters is often only a fraction of a second.
The sun was rising higher and higher, the light and shadow were moving, Shen Chen suddenly frowned, made a gesture towards Yu Baogen, and pointed to the left.
Yu Baogen used a shoulder-fired box gun, which was Shen Chen's request. In the woods, due to the numerous obstacles, the distance of the shot will not be too far. The box gun has a moderate range and can shoot continuously, which has obvious advantages.
As for Shen Chen, he still uses a spear. Such a long and short collocation takes care of the medium and long distances, which is quite scientific.
Yu Baogen carefully observed the direction that Shen Chen was pointing, and although he didn't hear anything unusual, his trust in Shen Chen made him obey unconditionally.
The sound was gone again. Shen Chen narrowed his eyes, maybe the devil didn't dare to easily cross this relatively exposed place, maybe he adopted a roundabout tactic.
A rapid birdsong suddenly sounded from the front, breaking the silence in the forest, and Shen Chen and Yu Baogen looked there in unison.
……………
There was no gunfire, a depressing battle, and the morning passed like this.
And as time passed, the distance between the two sides was indeed approaching, like a sword about to be unsheathed, how could it return without blood.
And the killer blow often erupts in this unbearable silence.
The figure seemed to flicker and then disappear again, as if nothing had happened, or that one could mistake it for its own eyes.
But Shen Chen realized that the opponent was already approaching here, and such a rapid movement was not something that ordinary soldiers could do.
Waiting for the rabbit is a good choice for Shen Chen.
But for Miyamoto, if he stays still, he will give up the opportunity to attack and kill in disguise. So, he and his assistant had to act, albeit at a greater risk.
Moreover, Miyamoto carries two devils who are skilled in shooting. One before and two after the second, Miyamoto and a devil walked behind, which is equivalent to using the devil walking in front as bait.
Bait, that's right, that's how Miyamoto defined the two assistants he chose. Although these two assistants are also quite good guys, they can make valuable sacrifices.
Relatively speaking, Shen Chen couldn't give up Yu Baogen's life casually, this is the difference between humans and beasts.
Approaching from the front was the sacrificial guy who played a role in containment, while Miyamoto and the other devil slowly detoured from both sides, avoiding this relatively open area.
The enemy didn't move, and Shen Chen couldn't tell his specific location. But he thought of the enemy's possible detour, made a gesture to Yu Baogen, and the two quietly left the position. Diagonally to the side.
Although in most cases, the king of snipers is a one-man mission, it is more convenient when two people act together.
Although Shen Chen and Yu Baogen are not the division of labor between shooters and observers, they have two people and four eyes, and they always have to observe more comprehensively.
The devil moved forward. Every step is taken lightly, for fear of making a little noise.
Hunting is more often than a confrontation of force and body, but a game of perseverance and wisdom.
Every inadvertent mistake by a hunter, even a slight cough, can be a lost opportunity.
Moreover, the relationship between the predator and the prey is interchangeable in the forest. A small negligence can kill the hunter and turn the prey into prey.
Click, a strange noise in front of him startled the devil, and he quickly hid himself, alertly observing the movement.
Yu Baogen grinned and glanced at Shen Chen with some apologies.
He accidentally stepped on a broken branch. Although the sound was slight, it sounded unusually loud to his ears in the silence of the woods.
At this time. It wasn't when Shen Chen criticized and pointed out, he bent down and motioned for Yu Baogen to stop moving for the time being.
Every time the wait is so boring and unbearable, especially the battle between the masters. An hour has passed, and the battle of patience is not over.
The devil lay motionless in the grass, he was sure that there were enemies around.
And the fact that his opponent could not reveal his whereabouts for such a long time made him feel inexplicably excited. The more high-level the local player, the more he can arouse his strong fighting spirit.
But the devil did not dare to be careless, and continued to wait patiently, waiting for the opponent to make even a small mistake.
Yu Baogen glanced at Shen Chen inquiringly, meaning that there was no situation. Whether it is possible to continue moving.
Shen Chen shook his head slightly, stretched out two fingers to point to his eyes, and then raised his finger to the top of the tree in the distance.
Yu Baogen looked up and looked closely, and in the cover of branches and leaves, a small hornet's nest came into his sight.
"Smack!" The gunshot rang out, and it was the first shot shot fired by Shen Chen. But instead of shooting at the enemy, the bullet shot down a hornet's nest in a tree.
The devil lying in the grass immediately began to search the place where the gun was fired, looking for traces of the enemy.
But soon, a buzzing cry sounded overhead, and enraged hornets searched for the saboteur, and Kobayashi, who was not far away, became a poor scapegoat.
"Hmm!" The devil snorted in pain, but he remained clear.
Jumping can only be a crazier target for hornets, and possibly a rush of bullets. He gritted his teeth and buried his hands and face deep in the grass.
Shen Chen held the gun and maintained a posture of firing at any time, while Yu Baogen crawled to move the position, lurking in a small depression, and slowly stretched out the muzzle of the gun.
Shen Chen began to move, taking advantage of the cover of trees and weeds, and retreated to the rear.
After a few unbearable minutes, the hornet, which circled like a bomber and hunted, finally left and flew away, and the devil slowly raised his head.
His exposed skin was stung three times, and a swelling near his forehead affected his eyes somewhat.
The pain was still bearable, and the devil who had suffered a loss clenched his teeth with hatred. After observing for a moment, he began to search forward slowly.
Shen Chen and Yu Baogen retreated slowly, avoiding being surrounded by the enemy, and set up small traps as they retreated.
Two tripwire grenades, five or six bamboo skewers that pierced their feet, were extremely difficult to spot in the grass. As long as the enemy steps on it, even if it is not fatal, it will be difficult to escape sniping because the target is exposed.
