Chapter Forty-Eight: Hit

Ani didn't expose my boasting, just pouted, picked up her sniper rifle and walked out, I knew that Ani was going to find a target on the other side to practice her marksmanship.

"Take others as targets, and be careful not to become other people's targets." I told her.

Ani: "Got it...... I know it every day. ”

Ani didn't go far, just above my gun hole, crouched behind cover, the barrel of her sniper rifle sticking out, looking through the scope.

Under normal circumstances, no daredevils on the east and west sides of the strait would deliberately expose their bodies to the cover, and that is to die like that if they do not want to live.

I lay on the bed, looking at the two silver dollars on the table, whether it was a dangerous city or a national disaster, it didn't seem to prevent us from doing all kinds of shady transactions. What makes me doubly frustrated is that I hate such behavior, and I have unknowingly become what I hate.

"Brother An, come out and see ......" Ani's soft cry came from outside the cave.

I got up and went outside, looking up at Ani lying on it, "What's wrong?" What do you see? ”

Ani didn't speak, she waved her hand with her back to me, and I climbed up and crouched beside Ani, and the Moyunling position was the same as usual, and I couldn't see any difference.

Me: "Mysterious, what should I see?" Look at the Japanese positions as tight as ever? ”

Ani was annoyed: "Brother An, you can't lift the bar like this, of course you can't see anything if you look at it like this, you use this scope to take a look again." ”

As she spoke, Ani handed me the sniper rifle, and I looked through the scope and found something different.

This British Lee Enfield sniper rifle, because it is equipped with a scope three times that of NO.32MK, has a unique advantage in finding fixed targets.

On the surface, there is no flaw in the position of the Japanese army on Moyun Ridge, but if you look at it with this sight that has been magnified three times, you can see that there is a slight reflective refraction on the position in a certain place, and it is an orderly refraction.

"What is this?"

I looked at it for a while and figured out that this was the reflection of the Japanese army's steel helmet, and the morning sun shining on the west bank made their steel helmets produce refracted light.

The odds of discovering these targets are slim. Because first of all, it is necessary that during this time period, those firearms, steel helmets, and metal instruments in the West Bank that are exposed to the sun will have such sunlight refraction. Moreover, the Japanese steel helmet has a lightproof coating to avoid refraction, which is impossible to detect easily, and thanks to the high-powered scope of this British sniper rifle, there is a chance to observe this subtlety.

Most of the positions in Moyunling are volcanic rock and hard rubber soil, which is difficult to dig deeper, and I estimate that the bunkers dug by the Japanese army should not be more than 1.6 meters high. The Japanese soldiers usually walk in bunkers, and if they are slightly bent on their waists, they will not be hit by our cold guns. But today, apparently, they were standing, and they were standing in formation, as if they were welcoming some big man to inspect the position.

Ani smiled and said, "Brother An, give you a chance to choose, if you see which head is not pleasing to the eye, I will break him!" ”

Ani wanted to show me her marksmanship, and because there were suddenly too many targets, she had a playful mentality, and she asked me to choose a helmet that reflected the light.

"It's all the same head, I can't see the difference, if you ......" I saw a moving head in the scope, it was not a steel helmet, it was a combat cap that Japanese officers used to wear.

I handed the gun back to Ani: "Hitting a fixed target is only the initial stage of a sniper, you try to see if you can hit this moving head, if you hit, Brother An will be rewarded." ”

Ani cut off: "Brother An, you have to be a talker, and I can hit the moving target......"

Ani's muzzle moved slowly, following her target.

I said, "If you're not sure, just hit a fixed one, and after a while they hide, you won't get anything......

Bang! Before I could finish my sentence, Ani pulled the trigger, the bullet shot out of the chamber of the gun, and flew screaming towards Moyunling.

I couldn't see the situation on the other side, so I could only ask Ani, "Did you hit it?" ”

Ani frowned, not quite sure: "It seems to have hit ......"

This shooting did not provoke an immediate counterattack from the Japanese army, Ani was a little discouraged, and muttered: "The target is too small, there is only one head, and it is still moving, as soon as I shoot, he disappears, I don't know if I hit it or not." ”

I encouraged Ani: "Don't be discouraged, this time it's just a practice, next time you have a chance to ......"

Before I could finish my words, I was awakened by the sound of the whistling cannon discharge, and I was stunned for half a second, and then shouted: "Shelling! Anti-artillery! ……”

My voice was drowned out in an instant by the sound of earth-shaking explosions, and suddenly without warning the Japanese positions opened fire on us, and the first shell that came was a 105 heavy cannon.

I dragged Ani into my bomb hole, ignoring everything else, and Ani's sniper rifle fell to the ground in a panic.

Ani cried out, "My gun ......"

I called to Ani: "Leave the gun alone, it's important to dodge the gun!" ”

Ani didn't listen to me, she shook off my hand, ran a few steps, picked up her gun at the sound of the shell, and ran back again.

Almost at the same time, a shell exploded where Ani picked up the gun, and the huge wave of air from the shell almost lifted Ani into the anti-gun hole.

I pulled up Ani, who had fallen to the ground, and shouted, "Don't you want to die!" …… Did it hurt? ”

The deafening explosion, even if it was face-to-face, was barely audible only with such shouts.

Ani shouted back: "It's okay......"

Rumble! Another shell landed on the top of the anti-artillery hole, and the dirt logs on the anti-artillery layer were shattered, and Ani and I were covered in charred dirt all over our heads and faces.

It was the first time Ani had encountered such a shelling, and she was almost curled up in my arms, her voice trembling a little and shouting: "What's wrong with the devil, this is it, crazy mile ......"

I'm afraid of hitting the dirt on my body: "It's not crazy, it's a retaliatory return shot, the shot you just fired seems to have hit the target." ”

"We used to shoot each other, but we didn't have to retaliate like this......" Ani spat out the dirt in her mouth.

I looked at the roof of the cave where I had just been shot: "That is to say, you hit as if you were an officer, or an officer of a small rank, so we will be so retaliated and fired back......"

When Ani heard me say this, she was very happy, and shouted loudly: "Brother An, what you said is true, don't you make me happy......

Rumble! Another shell exploded above my bomb hole, and it was so close that it hurt my ears, and the falling dirt almost buried Ani and me alive.

I dragged Ani up from the dirt and shouted, "The little devil artillery has identified the target, we have to change places, and if we take another shot, this hole will blow up!" ”
