While the German High Command was preparing for a simulated confrontation exercise, Finland and the Soviet Union were engaged in a real battle between ants and elephants in the northeast.

"Hey," a Finnish soldier in a white camouflage suit whispered in a low voice, "Simon, the Soviets are too vigilant. They were around the Mission, five steps and one post, ten steps and one post. In this way, we can't rely on it. ”

The person who spoke was Remo, and he was part of Simon's sniper team along with Javenny. Team leader Simon snipes the loser, while they cover and guard the surrounding area.

"I heard from the intelligence that there are several major generals here, and the leader is still a general." Because of the distance, Simon was not worried about exposure, and whispered back: "If there is no defense at all, it should be abnormal." ”

The strict precautions of the Soviet side, Simon has long noticed. However, for security reasons, he did not take his team any further than the location of the Soviet Senior Officers' Observer Group.

They are here to kill, not to be killed.

As an excellent sniper who has repeatedly escaped from the battlefield, Simon is quite clear about the difference between courage and recklessness.

As the leader of the sniper team, he must ensure that his team stays away from danger enough. In this way, not only can the escape rate of the group be increased after sniping, but also the probability of being detected by the opponent before sniping is carried out, thus providing concealment and success rate.

He came here with 2 mates, and the fact itself is a testament to their mettle. But if the gap were to be shortened any further, it would be a foolish kind of bravery, which would only increase the possibility of sacrifice. And such a sacrifice is completely unnecessary.

"Looks like we can't get any closer." Simon lay on a layer of white cloth and analyzed indifferently: "Although we can't go further, it is impossible for the Soviet observation group to stay in the turtle shell all the time. After all, they have come to the front line to observe the battle situation or the terrain, and sooner or later they will set off for the front line. And we were on the flanks of the main road, which was on the way they had to go. Wait a little longer, I guess the big fish will come out soon. ”

Although Simon and the others added a layer of broken and paved branches under the white cloth, and put a not too thin mat between the branch layer and the white cloth to isolate the cold brought by the snow as much as possible.

But staying in the ice and snow for a long time, even Simon and others wearing thick warm clothes will inevitably let the cold weather drain a trace of physical strength. So Simon is now completely following his instincts, asking the group to stay where they are and wait a little longer.

If his instinct is too far off, and the Soviet observation group does not show up for a long time, the sniper team will continue to lose strength in the cold snow until it loses the ability to carry out its mission and is forced to return.

After waiting for about half an hour, Jieweini, who had not spoken, gently climbed along the snow to Simon's side: "Simon, if you want me to say that we should try our luck a little closer, maybe ......."

"Shut up!" Misty lowered his voice and said sharply.

Jawini has partnered with Simon several times, and he also has a certain understanding of Simon's behavioral logic. After he was interrupted, instead of being annoyed, he immediately obediently closed his mouth and gently lowered his body further.

He understands that Simon is not a man with a weird temper. Since he told himself to shut up, it is probably the current situation that urgently needs to shut his mouth.

Sure enough, in less than 3 minutes, Gerwiny, who was lying next to Simon, saw movement in the Soviets' camp.

Immediately after, groups of Soviet fighters ran out of the camp. Among them, six three-wheeled motorcycles with machine guns were also carried. It is clear that these Soviet soldiers were carrying out a "road clearing operation".

"Tutu, Tutu, Tutu......." The machine gun on the motorcycle fired aimlessly, tentatively in all directions.

Simon understands that this is not the Soviets who have too many bullets and play around. In fact, the reason why the Soviet machine guns fired indiscriminately was on the one hand to see if there was a disguised enemy. If so, there is a real theoretical possibility of hitting such a freewheeling shot.

On the other hand, this kind of shooting can also serve the purpose of scaring the snake. Psychologically exerts psychological pressure on possible ambushed enemy forces, thereby increasing the likelihood of them being exposed.

It is likely that the Soviets did this for the sake of the safety and security of the officers of the upcoming Mission. Big fish is about to appear!

Simon held out two fingers and swiped lightly, motioning for Murray and Jawiny to get ready.

The three of them are all veteran hunters who are used to guns, and once they target any prey, they can basically get their hands on it.

Although apart from Simon's high-end sniper rifles sent from the Mauser factory, both Murray and Jewiny only had the Mosin Nagant Type 91-30 captured from the Soviets. However, this gun has a long range and is more powerful than the gun they used before. The most important thing is that after shooting, there will be no large amount of black smoke like a gun, and it will not instantly visually reveal where you are.

The two each made an "OK" gesture to show Simon that they were ready. Then, without any further communication, the three of them lay motionless in place, waiting for the Soviet observer group's convoy to come into range.

..........

The convoy of the Soviet Observer Corps unsurprisingly left the camp after the advance force had completed its alert along the way. Although the advance team in charge of the guard was not reliable, standing guard with guns on the side of the road, they still gave the Mission's convoy a sense of security.

After all, this area is already occupied by the Soviet army, and in their opinion, the probability of the appearance of Finnish servicemen here is not high. From top to bottom, from the leader of the observation group to the commander of the alert force, no one was vigilant about the ongoing war, and proposed to launch a cordon search on the high ground on both sides of the road.

As long as they thought about it, with the huge number of soldiers in the camp now, it was not easy to conduct a search of this level, but it was definitely feasible.

And once they were more vigilant and launched a two-wing search, Simon and his party, no matter how confident they were, could only leave after the search began.

But no one thought about that. Just as no one reminded the general of the observation mission to take off the epaulettes of the rank, the Soviet army's understanding of the sniper profession was still too shallow and contemptuous!
