Chapter 178: Life and Death Sniper (I)
The lights on the east bank were soon extinguished, and the quiet Gava River was plunged into darkness. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe moon in the night sky shuttles through the dark clouds, sprinkling patches of gentle and cold moonlight.
After the ceasefire of the Soviet troops on the east bank, the Polish soldiers also stopped firing, and the scene returned to quiet.
Koval lay behind the pile of rocks and gently withdrew his rifle, and with no lights on the other side, even he was not very sure of hitting the enemy on the other side.
Now it is different from the chaotic situation just now, as long as the first shot is fired, it will become the only target on the other side, and there will never be a chance to fire a second shot, and Koval does not want to take the risk in vain.
Koval picked up the double-barreled binoculars and searched the other side repeatedly, but there was not a trace of fire, and the other bank was shrouded in darkness.
With the memory just now, Koval watched the enemy's position and looked up at the sky, where the moon was still dressed in the dark clouds. Koval had no choice but to rest while patiently waiting for the opportunity to arise.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the weeds around him swayed gently, making a rustling sound. Koval looked up and saw that the moon god was also revealing half of his face from behind the black veil.
Koval immediately slowly stretched out his Mauser rifle and placed it in the firing position, raising his binoculars with both hands to stare intently at the enemy positions on the opposite bank.
Patches of moonlight shone on the positions of the Soviet troops. By the faint light of the moon, Koval could clearly see the enemy's sandbags, wood, chests, and so on.
But the Soviet troops on the other side seemed to have given up the counterattack, and one by one they were very well concealed.
In the first section of the trench, no enemy troops were found, and in the second section of the trench, no enemy troops were found.
Koval carefully searched every position.
The moon moved slowly in the sky, and so did the moonlight on the ground.
Positions in the darkness were silently exposed. A thing was hiding behind a weed, with only one head peeking toward the west bank of the Gawa River, unaware of the moonlight moving behind his side, the most dangerous enemy.
Koval immediately set the telescope aside and picked up his Mauser rifle and aimed it at the target.
The moonlight moved forward quietly, and the Soviet soldier hidden in the grass suddenly found himself covered in a white veil, and his heart was suddenly startled, and he immediately prepared to retreat quietly.
There was a crisp gunshot, and a bullet hit his head quickly, and he fell weakly into the grass.
A flame flickered on the west bank of the Gava River, and the other Soviet soldiers immediately refreshed themselves when they heard the gunshot, picked up their weapons and shot at the location of the little fire in their memory.
After Koval pulled the trigger, he immediately quickly crawled back a few steps, dodging into the low ground behind the small dirt slope, and a flurry of gunfire hit Koval near the firing position just now, and the rubble flew down.
"Well, it's a bit dangerous to be a bird!" Koval muttered. He then bent down along a surveyed ditch and ran to another firing position.
A heavy rain of bullets from Soviet soldiers swept through the suspicious places in the West Bank.
After a minute or so, Ivan shouted: "Stop shooting!" Stop shooting! ”
The gunfire then slowly stopped.
Ivan and several officers stood in the trench behind the remains of the soldier shot by Koval and observed.
"Was he shot in this bush? You didn't move his place? Koval looked at the corpse of the soldier who had fallen in front of him and asked the soldiers around him.
"Yes, sir, no one has touched his body." A soldier returned to the Tao tremblingly.
"How can you be found hiding in this bush in the dark? Did he make a move? The officer next to him scolded sharply.
"Sir, we were right next to him, and we really didn't see any movement. There are no lights, and the big guys are guarding their positions. Suddenly, as soon as the gunshots rang out, we immediately aimed at the target, only to see that he had not moved here, and was shot dead by the enemy on the opposite side. The soldier immediately cried out.
"Carry his body on his back." The officer commanded.
The two soldiers, bent over with their heads bowed, cautiously walked over and dragged him over with the corpse's two shoes.
Ivan slowly crouched down, lit an oil lamp, and carefully examined the wounds on the corpse.
I saw that the skull on the right side of the corpse's head was opened in a fist-sized piece, and all kinds of red, white, and yellow liquids slowly flowed out of the skull.
When the people around saw such a scene, there was a sound of vomiting and spitting.
Ivan quickly looked away, covered his mouth and nose slightly, stood up and turned around and said: "There is only one such wound on his body, one shot kills, and the opponent is a very clever sharpshooter." To hit our hidden soldiers on a night like this is by no means something that ordinary people can do. ”
"Commander, it's not a matter of being beaten passively like this! After so many battles, tonight is too aggrieved! Dozens of people died, and not even one of the edamame on the opposite side was caught! Ay! An officer said angrily.
"Ordinary soldiers simply can't hit them at night, they just expose themselves in vain. Only by fighting poison with poison can we also organize the sharpshooters in our troops to deal with them, and it will not be as chaotic as it is now. The officer next to him suggested.
"Okay, that's a good idea, you immediately gather the soldiers in our regiment who are good at marksmanship, and organize them to deal with this group
Cunning enemies. The rest of the soldiers hid behind their positions and did not show their heads, as long as they prevented the enemy from crossing the river on a large scale. Ivan immediately ordered.
With Ivan's order, the officers immediately went into action.
The ordinary soldiers on the position slowly moved to the back, and one by one the sharpshooters who had been temporarily found quietly entered the position to take their place.
Koval hid behind the grass, and heard the sound of Hishisoso above the position on the opposite bank, and watched his head move from place to place.
Koval watched carefully, and these heads were irregularly popping up from the top of the position from time to time, and then disappearing quickly, making people unpredictable.
Koval changed two targets in a row, only to have them all lower and disappear without a trace before Koval could take aim.
"Fack!" Koval cursed softly in secret, and continued to patiently observe along the position, where the heads popped out very frequently at the intersection of the trenches, as if the trenches in that place were shallower.
Koval pointed his gun at the intersection of the trenches, and the notched door and the front sight were pointed there. A military hat flicked past from there, and the trigger that Koval was holding loosened slightly, continuing to wait for the next target.
