(669) Night sniping
"Two people are being suppressed?" Hearing that it was a sniper, Yang Maode was startled, looked in the direction of the squad leader's finger, and sure enough, he saw the tree on the opposite hillside under the moonlit night, standing tall in the jungle. But he couldn't see anyone.
"No one, I can't see it."
"Where the bullet came from, the soldier in front told me, but unfortunately the distance is too far, and we can't help him."
"Let me come, you forgot I had a sniper rifle, I'll touch it and kill him."
"No, it's useless, there must be other people near him, they are in the dark, we are in the light, the moon is shining on this ridge, it is not easy to do. Now you climb over again, it's dangerous. β
Yang Maode asked: "It's just an agent, not a special forces, right?" "He knows that the special forces of the Soviet army are many times more powerful than the agents.
"I can't say, maybe it's from the special forces." The squad leader said.
"You can only get people back by killing that sniper! I passed. If necessary, you open fire for cover. As he spoke, Yang Maode climbed over next to the woods on the ridge.
It looks blurry in the sniper scope. Yang Maode hurriedly reached out to adjust the knob, tried it several times, well, now he can see it clearly.
He hid at the edge of the woods on the ridge. He was crawling very slowly just now, and he knew that the sniper must still be there waiting for further sniping, although the Soviets were not stupid, but they were really confident at this point, and they were not satisfied with not firing several shots in a row at a hiding place, killing and wounding a few more people. These people have always rarely met opponents, and they are used to arrogance.
It is now several hours before dawn, and the wounded are not treated, and may die of blood loss.
Although the tree can be seen more clearly, no one can be found. The tree protruded from the height, like a giant umbrella, and a huge mushroom grew on the jungle hill.
With the experience of the last two times, Yang Maode now did not feel the nervousness of this kind of sneak attack, he slowly scanned, around the tree, and repeatedly observed it several times. I don't know if there are any Soviet night fighters in the vicinity, but if he gets here and hears the gunshots coming, it will be very bad, and he is a little worried.
The wounded soldier on the ridge in front of him was now crouched behind a small tree, holding his stomach and moaning. The other was a little in front of him to the left, lying under a rock, using it as cover, and not daring to move.
There is no way to go on like this, you must lure him to open fire and expose his position.
"Can you do something? Pick up your helmet with a gun. Yang Maode crawled over, through the grass, and whispered to the soldier who was lying on his stomach and did not dare to move.
"No, the other party is a sniper, he can see me, and he will fire if I move. I'm only 18 years old, I haven't graduated from high school yet, I don't want to die yet, don't use me as bait. The soldier turned his head and said without negotiation.
"But it's not the way to go." "I can only go if I use their sniper rifles to kill him." But I couldn't find him, and I had to lure him out. If you stay here and the enemy comes to surround you, then the whole army will be annihilated. You don't want to die, do you? β
"Nonsense, of course I don't want to die. I wouldn't be lying here if I wanted to die. β
"Hey, you'll die when the enemy's search party comes, if you don't destroy him, get out early. Hurry up! If it drags on any longer, I'm afraid it's really too late. β
The soldier thought for a moment and felt that it made sense. So he turned sideways, and now his headrest was resting against the rock, facing Yang Maode.
"Are you really sure? I had just moved a little bit before the guy shot me several times, one of which almost hit my thigh and my pants went through. β
"No problem. You've turned over now, aren't you okay? As long as you don't leave this rock, you'll be fine. How many shots did he take? β
"Five shots. I still don't dare to do what you said, I think it's too risky. β
"You say he fired five shots, so he has five more bullets at most. Don't be afraid, if he can hit you, you will be dead. Besides, how long do you want to spend it? Will you go back after dawn? You can't go when it's dawn. You've always wanted to spend like this? β
"You're wrong, I wish I had left this hellish place in my last life! I don't know how far it is from the border? It shouldn't be far away, if only I could cross the border tonight. It's not a fucking thing to go behind enemy lines. Well, pick up the gun, right, to tell you that I'm really not a person who is afraid of death, it's not worth it to be afraid of death, and if you don't get your hands on an enemy, it's not enough. How is your marksmanship? You're not going to let me die in vain, are you? β
"No, you're not going to die. Stop talking nonsense, okay? You quickly take off your helmet, put it on your bayonet, and slowly pick it up and stick it out. Yang Maode was a little impatient.
"Okay, death is death, with you, I'm not afraid. Are you sure to kill him with one shot? Wait, if I die, will you think I'm brave too? I'd like to hear your thoughts. β
Yang Maode really couldn't laugh or cry, this soldier was very naΓ―ve and honest. He said: "Of course you are not a bad seed, otherwise it would not be your turn to go behind enemy lines." β
The soldier laughed and said, "That's right." Notice, the sniper is on the big mushroom tree on the hillside in front of me, and I saw a little spark falling there, probably because the enemy was smoking. Okay, I've got it, are you ready? I reached out. β
The soldier finally slowly stretched out his helmet.
"Don't be too high, take it slowly, just stick it out a little, then stay for a few seconds and retract it." Yang Maode admonished him.
"Good! Listen to you. I'm stretched out, and you look ahead. β
With a "dang" sound, the bullet hit the helmet, and the helmet deflected, removing the penetrating force, and the bullet turned into the grass next to the rock.
"Fuck!" The soldier gasped, "How's it going, do you see that?" β
"I didn't see it, there were no fireworks in the sniper rifles. But it is estimated that it came from there, and the branches and leaves moved. β
"Can you get rid of him sooner? I don't think it's a good idea to stay here. β
"Don't worry, I'll have to find a new position now, the line of sight here is not good. I had to chop two more branches to set up a gun, and I couldn't move my left hand, so I had to use my right hand, no way. β
"How long will it take?" The soldier seemed helpless.
At this time, the squad leader crawled over: "If you set up a gun, I'll be the fulcrum." "Squat up in the middle of the woods and cut down the branches with your machete.
The soldier was still there curled up in his belly, snorting and weeping bitterly. The enemy didn't shoot again, because they wanted to use him as bait to lure people to save him, so that he could shoot again. Yang Maode said: "Wait, squad leader, you can call someone to save that wounded soldier." When the time comes, this soldier of yours will continue to be cover. β
"What kind of cover method, is it reliable?"
"Reliable, no problem. It's like this......"
"Good! No need to call someone, then I'll save him right away. I'm going back now, and when I get there, I'm coughing. As soon as I coughed, you stuck your helmet out. β
The squad leader quickly retreated and prepared a short distance behind the wounded.
With a cough, when the helmet here was slowly stretched out again, the squad leader rushed out to the ridge quickly, and with a "dang" sound over there, he picked up the wounded soldier and ran.
The wounded were rescued without incident. Yang Maode couldn't see the situation here, so he asked the soldier opposite: "How is it?" Have the wounded been rescued? I'll go a little bit, you wait. He continued to climb along the mountain, two or three meters away from the soldier: "Okay, I can see it clearly here, the people are there." I cut off two branches with a dagger to set up a gun. Find a way to keep him, test him slowly twice, and don't wait for him to shoot and then retract. β
"You move a little bit, and you have to fight on time later, it's all up to you!"
"I know, you start, otherwise it won't be good for him to slip away."
"What the fuck is this, it's like hide and seek. It's not the way I thought it would be. Is it a war, because it should be filled with gunpowder smoke and fire. β
"Hey, bro, you're missing out. The war is really like that, tragic! β
"Maybe, I'm not as lucky as you, we're not a front-line direct combat force. We are assigned to the people who drive that, and most of the time we are engaged in transportation in the rear, and this time we can really do something for the country. I can't believe that I am still fighting side by side with snipers, who would believe it? β
This soldier is really good, hiding behind a rock, with his own sniper here, he is now completely relieved and very cooperative. That's good, Yang Maode has less worry and anxiety in his heart.
A few moments later, the soldier fired two more shots. That guy was very patient, and it was really hard to spend time with him. Soon Yang Maode was lying on the ground again, his body downward. The front end of the gun was raised by inserting the tripod made by cross-inserting the chopped branches, and now although there is only the right hand to the gun, it does not affect the aim, as for shooting, it is not a special tripod, and the effect is greatly reduced.
Through the sniper scope, I saw that the guy was still there, standing on a thick branch, with his back against the trunk of the tree, moving his gun and aiming in this direction. Wearing a hat, the person should not be very tall. Yang swept the gun down from the top of his head, aiming it at his chest from the arms down. The guy leaned sideways, half of his body blocked the trunk of a tree in front of him that stood upright and didn't have many leaves. With such a shot, I can't be sure. Yang Maode wanted to wait until he scanned back and hit a larger point before shooting.
The moon hung high in the sky, with few clouds. It was a nice night, the battlefield was silent and the wind had stopped. The man's arm in the scope was slowly moving, scanning the front from the side.
"Excellent! Turn it around slowly. He held his breath and waited.
The guy scanned it and stopped. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and maybe the next second this guy will slowly turn around again. He flexed his index finger and stepped up his strength, about to shoot.
"How's it going, did you find that guy?" The squad leader suddenly touched it and asked.
Yang Maode was concentrating on aiming, and was in the process of preparing to shoot, he was startled, his hand moved, and a "bang" shot was shot out, and the cross bearing place made of branches in front of him could not bear the force, and he moved down a little, and suddenly he couldn't see anything.
"It's over!" The soldier sighed.
Yang Maode really hated to scold the squad leader at this moment.
He quickly moved his body and crossed the tripod as he was now, and by the time he regained his position, the enemy was gone. Yang Maode looked under the tree and saw a corpse lying there, and then he was relieved.
"Hurry up and head north!"
Yang Maode put away his gun, and the soldier hurriedly pulled the grass and stuffed it into his helmet, put it on, carried the gun, bent his waist, crossed the ridge, and continued to explore the way.
When everyone went up the mountain, Yang Maode was helped up by a soldier, and everyone distanced themselves and hurried to the north under the moonlit night.
A team of men and horses walked cautiously in the valley, and the pioneer who continued to take the lead, the outpost of Hebei had just turned a corner, and met a person head-on, who was climbing up from a ridge more than three meters high.
The ravine was gloomy and unexposed to the moonlight. They were met by a team of infiltrated Soviet agents, and now only this outpost climbed up, and the people had not yet stood firm, and the two sides suddenly encountered, and they all shot at the same time without saying a word. The battle immediately raged in the ditch.
It turned out that the place where the plane crashed just now was not far from the battle line, only less than 300 meters away. There was a group of Soviet agents, after arriving at the wreck, they did not find a single person, so they chased along the north side, crossed the battle line from a mountain pass, and quietly infiltrated and chased them to the rear. A squad of the Chinese army found that the plane had crashed, stopped there and refused to leave, and broke into the response regardless of 3721, but no one was found on either side, and no encounter was encountered.
The Soviet agents of the two squads searched for a while, but they didn't find it, and when they returned, they didn't know why, maybe they had a whim on their heads, and they also rushed to the direction of Baiyushan. They traveled from east to west, not daring to keep walking along the ridge, but going up from the usual route on one side, and under the cover of the long grass and trees, they were bold. The first two Soviet soldiers had just climbed up a hill from a low place, they were familiar with this road, and they never expected that there would suddenly be Chinese troops on it, and for a moment of nervousness, this guy shouted out Russian. The wounded soldier was armed with a modified version of the "Whirlwind" submachine gun, and after knocking down the enemy who had climbed up first, he rushed to the edge of the ridge and fired a fierce fire.
Close quarters encounters were fought like that.
When the fighters of the squad in the rear heard the gunshots, they all rushed over, condescendingly, and for a time bullets flew wildly, and the two sides fought quite fiercely in the narrow valley. The Soviets were suppressed at a distance of fifty meters below, and the men of this squad were above, grenades were constantly waiting, and in the glow of the fire, screams rang out again and again.
The ravine is too narrow and full of thorns, and the Soviets can't quickly divide to both sides to seize the commanding heights, and the people of this squad occupy the advantage before them, you go up and I go up, no matter what, the Soviets are always below, being pressed and beaten.
Everyone didn't dare to stay for a long time, for fear that they would still be in the enemy area, and they were still worried. The squad leader was also fierce enough, and when he saw that the enemy had been fighting for a long time and did not retreat, he yelled: "Fuck, brothers, rush down!" "Picking up the gun, the first one jumped off the ridge, bent over, and shot as he rushed forward.
Yang Maode had already rushed to the injured man with the injured arm. I saw a Chinese soldier roaring in the gloomy ravine, leading the charge, followed by seven or eight, jumping off the ridge one after another.
The ravine was too narrow for the people behind to dare to shoot. Suddenly, the man in front fell, and immediately two of them opened fire side by side, and continued to rush down with a loud roar. Yang Maode was enthusiastic when he saw it, but he couldn't participate in the war.
At this moment, someone from the valley in front of him rushed up again. Someone shouted in Mandarin, "Where are you from?" He shouted like this, and the people above couldn't hear it at all. But before he could speak, the Soviet bullets had already answered him. So the people outside knew friend and foe, and stormed up.
The Soviet army was originally very tenacious, but the enemy was attacked from top to bottom, and most of them were quickly damaged, and the rest of the people desperately drilled into the thorns on both sides, regardless of their heads, and became a live target.
When the battle was over, the two sides met, and the people of this class knew that this was already on their own land. Knowing this, the squad leader would not have been in a hurry and risked rushing down to sacrifice. They were in a bit of a desolate mood, cursing loudly, carrying their squad leader and three wounded, and walking out of the valley with the Chinese army who had rushed to join the battle.
It was about nine o'clock in the morning, the weather was clear, and in the temporary field hospital in the rear, the moment was unusually quiet. The smell of blood and strong medicine had dissipated, and Yang Maode looked out of the window, the sky was blue, the clouds were in the sky, the south wind was blowing, and he was in a particularly good mood.
Murong Xue was lying on the bunk next to him at the moment.
Although there were wounded people everywhere, except for some who could move to go out to bask in the sun, most of them were lying on the bed chatting, and it seemed that the hall was very noisy, but Yang Maode didn't care, at this time, his attention was all on Murong Xue.
After this battle of life and death on the battlefield, the distance between the two has unconsciously narrowed.
"I've met your sister, she's in the electronic warfare unit, and she's talked," Yang said, "You're twins, aren't you?" They look so alike, and if I don't speak, I can't tell who's who. He didn't tell her that Murong Xi had sewn his crotch for him.
"Haha!" Murong Xue laughed happily.
"By the way, what you said at that time, does it count?" "You said you wanted to satisfy my curiosity. β
"Alright, Mr. Sniper." Murong Xue stopped laughing and said.
"Don't call me Mr. Sniper, call me Yang Maode, Mao Mao, Moral Virtue." Yang Maode said.
