(six hundred and fifty-six) first sniper
Yang Maode heard that there was no movement in the grass in front of him, so he didn't dare to stand up, and there was a sniper on the ridge behind him. So he turned around, took a sniper rifle in his hand, and scanned the past.
The grass was so dense that he couldn't see anything.
Yang Maode cautiously stretched the muzzle of the gun out of the grass, but the front was blocked by a ridge. He had to take advantage of the cover of the grass and crawl over slowly, and after crawling over, he could not find the best low concave position to aim at at the ridge. If he hastily sticks his head out to peek, he will definitely be hit as a live target, and he knows the sniper's stakes. The shot just now didn't hit, maybe it was from a position to fire, or it was affected by the wind, etc., so it was biased and didn't hit itself.
He figured the sniper was still watching. Now that his movements were restricted, he felt very unhappy, a cat-and-mouse feeling. The cat is the Soviet soldier, and he is the mouse, and the initiative is in the hands of the other party. He knew that he was not yet a master of this, and he was not used to this kind of fighting against the enemy.
Where the hell is that person? The grass around me is so deep that it's not easy to observe at all. This is true here, and even more so on the opposite mountain, where the grass is deep and the forest is dense.
Yang Maode knew that under normal circumstances, the position of Soviet field snipers was unlikely to change, because they were influenced by the Germans and adopted a typical German style of play. They are several times the killing distance of ordinary rifles, and they will not change places with a single shot, delaying fighters. Besides, it is not easy to choose a good battlefield sniper position. But that sniper can also be a hunter who swims out and strikes, shooting a shot to change places. The Soviets were not stupid, they fought with China for so long, and they completely learned the true transmission of the Chinese fighting guerrillas.
Yang Maode suddenly had an idea. In a flash, he suddenly had a clever plan to make the other party appear. He quickly turned around and crawled to the side of the two men who had just died. The two were very close together in the grass, and Yang Maode collected both guns in his hands and picked up the ammunition. One of the two had a helmet. He took the enemy's gun and the helmet and brought it to the edge of the ridge. He also broke a large handful of long grass that he had prepared to join.
After continuing to observe the opposite ridge as much as he could, he chose a better position and began to carry out his plan. He tied one of the collected guns to a long line of grass, placed them on his left side, nearly two arm's lengths away, and then used the other gun to push it diagonally forward little by little behind its buttocks. If the sniper on the other side was still there, he would have seen a gun slowly sticking out of the ridge grass, the muzzle of the gun pointed diagonally upward.
Yang Maode is engaged in a gamble, and the stakes are very large, which is his own net worth. However, he was confident that he would win, and the whole gamble was just a thrill.
Now he is waiting, giving the enemy time and seeing how the enemy on the other side reacts. In the time he waited, he picked up the big handful of grass, and now they became a long rope that could be pulled far away. He felt that the time was almost up, so he used the gun in his hand to bring the helmet under the ridge next to the gun, revealing a little.
With a "ding", the bullet immediately passed through the dense grass in front of it and hit the helmet, causing the dirt on the ridge next to it to fly. The enemy is still there, the position has not changed, and he is staring at this place very tightly, and he really does not relax at all. This guy is very patient and very decisive, and he is a good cat who is good at waiting to catch mice. It's a pity that Yang Maode is not a mouse, he is now a combat hero who has killed dozens of enemies.
Yang Maode judged where the bullet came from. The opposite ridge is only a general location, and it is first necessary to determine the range of 50 meters, so that you can look further and find the opponent in the hidden grass and leaves. Just now he was heading to the left towards the highland trenches, and the bullets were across the forehead, and now the bullets for shooting the helmet came from the left front, drawing a triangle, and the general position was determined.
He lifted his helmet with his gun again, and little by little it stretched out of the ridge. As soon as he came out of the tull less than three inches, there was a "ding" sound, and another bullet was fired.
He chuckled to himself and tugged at the straw rope. The decoy gun moved a little, lowering its position a little. Then he tossed the grass there a few more times with his gun to continue to confuse the enemy.
Yang Maode had already discovered that the ridge on his right side was lower and flatter, that is, the terrain on the right side was higher, and there was a dirt bun less than three meters in the past, which should be the best shooting point. So he retreated towards the sparse grass or the gap, so that although he could not be invisible, he could avoid alarming the grass and attracting the attention of the enemy on the opposite ridge. The highlands are safe for the time being, and it doesn't matter if you're hidden or not. He retreated several meters before crawling to the right and hiding behind the dirt bun.
After lying down, he quickly observed the surroundings again, listened carefully for a while, and everything was fine, nothing abnormal.
He turned his head and gently tugged on the straw rope, and the gun shrank a little from the ridge where he was leaning.
Although the gunfire in the distance is no longer violent, it is sporadic and everywhere, so to speak. From early morning to now, the battle continues, and it can be said that it is more intense. The sound of the explosion of the rumbling cannon really came far away, as if it was doing a kind of embellishment, the sound behind the back of the stage. Boom, boom, and as if to remind people, those who are resting, don't forget that this is still on the battlefield.
It was overcast and there was no sunlight. The dew on the blades of grass has not completely dissipated either.
It is not surprising that no part of his body is clean. The important thing is that he feels a little hungry at this moment, and his stomach growls. Yesterday, most of the day was a rapid march, and at night it was dark and walked in the drizzle for most of the night, but fortunately, the weight of more than 20 catties was nothing, otherwise it would have to be exhausted to death. He remembered that he hadn't really eaten anything until now. Yesterday I was too tired to eat during the day, and when I rested at night, I didn't want to eat because of the tension of the war, and now I am hungry, but I can't bear it.
Eat something after taking out the Soviet sniper, he thought.
The sniper rifle came out silently from the grass next to the dirt bun.
This is playing hide and seek, and this is no longer something that can be solved by swords and guns and fierce attacks just now. This will be a matter of life and death for the individual, and it must not be careless. Yang Maode is very careful in every move, every action must be very careful, and it is not too careful to use it. Once exposed, it is wasted. Once the previous achievements are lost, then the enemy cannot be destroyed. If you can't destroy the enemy, you will die at the hands of the enemy.
Yang Maode felt that this was much more tense and exciting than all the battles just now. The tension of shooting someone for the first time is unconscious, a normal reaction of bodily functions. Now, the tension is conscious, like being a thief, stealing not anything else, but the life of the person.
He searched through the scope for any suspicious spot on the ridge. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you will be shocked when you see it.
It turned out that the opposite ridge was full of Soviet personnel, busy building fortifications and digging trenches under the cover of grass and shrubs. Although there was a distance of four or five hundred meters, and it was in the grass and dense forest, all the movement was visible in the scope of the sniper rifle. Yang Maode scanned the past little by little, and then lowered his gaze to scan back, judging from the dense state of people, there should be a battalion of men and horses on the top of the mountain. Most of them may have retreated to hold on to the high ground on their side, and there are not many people who heard the gunshots. Yang Maode thought to himself that it would be good if he could summon artillery fire. A sudden shelling, a few hundred rounds of him in half a minute was enough.
Those people don't seem to care much about the situation here, because this side can obviously be defended, and there are so many people, leaving this place and leaving it alone, all running there to repair the fortifications, it's really incomprehensible, what kind of medicine are sold in the gourd of the Soviets?
He quickly focused his attention on a cliff at 10 o'clock. The cliff was about 100 meters long, rising from the direction of one o'clock in the middle of the mountain, and stretched all the way through. The cliff is not very high, but it looks like it is about ten meters, and there are trees up and down, so it is really not easy to find at first glance. The cliff was in the direction of his 10 o'clock, and there were several boulders piled up on it, surrounded by long grass and a small tree growing in the middle of the boulders. This is where he is now focusing on observations. If there is a sniper, it is a good hiding place, which can control the entire slope of the mountain on his side, and provide information at any time against the attacking forces of the Chinese army. He used this as a dot and drew a semicircle with a diameter of 50 meters on the upper edge of the cliff, and repeatedly observed it within the semicircle above the cliff.
Searching and searching, he looked at the semicircle on the fifty-meter-diameter ridge, but there was still no valuable discovery. And he had just calculated that the bullet must have come from that place, and the only possibility was next to the boulder, not to mention that there was a dense clump of grass there, which completely obscured his line of sight, even if there was no cover, from his point of view, the protruding boulder also obscured his view.
He believed that there must be something wrong behind the grass, but seeing was believing, and it felt unreliable! To hit a shot, you have to see the enemy with your own eyes, and you have to hit the key points.
The place where I am hiding now can be said to be an open area, and it is still very dangerous, and I can't be exposed here for a long time. Besides, it's not a problem to stare at that dense grass, maybe there's still movement around it? Just as he looked so closely and again and still didn't find anything, and wanted to get out of sight, the dense grass in the gun scope suddenly moved.
The surrounding grass showed no signs of being blown by the wind, and this sudden discovery made Yang Maode's heart beat with surprise and nervousness. His surprise and nervousness are like the feelings of an angler who has just learned to fish and waits for a long time by the river before finally a fish comes to bite the bait. He could see that it was a stick or something in the grass. What's he doing? Act rashly and alert the enemy? Yang Maode stared at it to see it clearly.
Something is raised.
It's not a stick, it's a gun! A gun wrapped in a strip of grass-green camouflage cloth.
It seems that the enemy is too cunning and experienced; The camouflage training of snipers has really been done at home.
The gun was lifted up little by little in the grass, and it looked like it was about to be withdrawn. Is it because the other party waited too long, saw that there was no movement, and thought that the enemy had been shot twice, and finally died of anger? This is an opportunity, and the time will never come again.
What if you can't see people?
Yang Maode quickly calculated the length of the gun in his mind, and now when he raised it, where was the arm and where was the head.
Shoot! When he put away his gun and retreated back to the big rock, he couldn't shoot him. He poses a great threat to friendly fighters who are waiting to attack. If you can't kill him, it's better to let him be frightened, or better to be injured.
Little by little, the opponent's guns were put away.
Suddenly, Yang Maode almost shouted!
That man, half-crouched up behind the dense grass!
Yang Maode immediately fired two shots in succession.
On the second shot, he fired it almost with his eyes closed. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the gun had been thrown out of the enemy's hand and had fallen to the edge of the cliff, and the barrel above the handguard was suspended in the air. One of the enemy's hands, stretched out from the grass, rested there.
After about half a minute, there was no movement in the grass. Yang Maode put away the sniper rifle and changed "**Sha" in his hand. It was only then that he let out a long breath.
The place where he was lying was 80 meters from the first trench on this high ground on his side, and he had not carefully observed the movement in the trench, and now it was time to search the past. As for the Soviet troops on the opposite ridge, it is better to provoke as little as possible. Since ancient times, two fists have been difficult to defeat four hands, and if more than ten people come over, it will be difficult to deal with. So far, everything is going well, and he doesn't want to die yet. On the battlefield, you can only say the word luck, which is too important for people. Some people had shells left on them, fainted, and woke up with nothing at all; What about some people? But he will never wake up. Some people didn't fire a shot, and they died in a blur, which was too cost-effective; Some people have killed countless enemies, and they are heroic and heroic.
Luck, people in peacetime may not believe it, but there is no soldier who survived the battlefield of blood and fire who does not think that it is not luck to be born and die in the rain of bullets.
Now taking advantage of good luck, I have to hurry up and make a heavy hand, and I can't hesitate. Good luck doesn't stay with him forever, he knows it. Maybe in the next second, a bullet will come and he will be reimbursed in a daze. Life and death depend on fate, wealth is in the sky, this old saying is not a negative factor, this is the short-term thought of most soldiers in the completion of the glorious heroic blood of life, let it complete everything. For the country and the people, not afraid of sacrifice, that's just propaganda, that's empty things, the moment when you really kill the enemy, it's not this in your mind at all. For the country and the people, not afraid of sacrifice, that is just a certain belief, something far away from the depths of the spirit.
Yang Maode was only thinking about how to live at this moment, and he was afraid of sacrifice. But he will not survive, he will fight the enemy, and exchange the death of the enemy for his own life.
On the premise of preserving himself, it is his duty as a warrior to strike and destroy the enemy. He must not dig a deep cave and hide in it, just to save himself. He is a soldier, not a civilian, and even if there are mountains of swords and fires, rain of bullets and guns on the road ahead, he has no hesitation!
He still had to face the bullets and die.
He was also prepared to die at any time.
After observing the mountains over there for a while, he confirmed that no one had noticed him, or rather that no one had paid attention to him, and that the Soviets had all right, and that it was important for each to repair and dig deep fortifications on their own. They didn't pay attention to the sporadic gunfire on this side of the ridge, and their composure in the face of death and the spirit of fighting bravely, although they were enemies, they had to be admired. In previous border conflicts, those who fought with the Soviets knew that the Soviets were not afraid of death, and all the people were soldiers, which made the Chinese suffer a lot.
After Yang Maode joined the army, he heard one after another that the Soviet army, especially the special service warfare, was all suicidal. In those years, the military and civilians on the border were not very happy.
Yang Maode knows that it cannot be said how much China's political axe hopes to fight this so-called "imperialist war" in the mouths of those "modern clear streams", especially since it has just recovered less than 30 years, how much China needs a good environment, and from the perspective of society and family, who is willing to send their seventeen or eighteen-year-old children to the battlefield of blood and fire to go through the test of life and death? Yang Maode himself doesn't like to fight, because he sweats and bleeds until he dies gloriously, what it brings to his relatives in the rear is endless concern and grief-stricken sadness, which no one wants! Ants are still stealing life, who doesn't cherish their net worth and life? Whose relatives don't care about their children? And at the moment, it is too difficult to live peacefully with this neighbor, who has caused great physical and mental harm to the Chinese. Only by knocking down this barbaric and vicious anti-human invader and abolishing his martial arts can the peace that the Chinese people need come slowly.
Yang Maode watched the enemy building strong fortifications on the other side, turned around, and crawled towards the trenches on the high ground on his side.
After crawling for a while, about 30 meters away, he simply stood up. The grass is too deep on the highlands, and there are shrubs, and the view is very bad. Only by standing up can it be beneficial to observe some.
He was very careful, raising his gun and looking around, and suddenly quickly went east, and then quickly went west, and there were guards in front and behind, left and right. He had to ensure that as soon as there was an abnormality, he would fire the enemy at the first opportunity.
