Episode 63 Sniper's Internship

The little man who had just entered the house of the bloody sniper was not used to the darkness, raised his chin and squinted, Shi Shengli was impatient with him and said:

“…… I said, why don't you just take off the steel helmet? ”

"No, sir," said the man very seriously, "the Infantry Drill Code stipulates that you can't take off your helmet on the battlefield. ”

Then he lifted his helmet back, revealing his eyes.

Then he took off his military coat, revealing his delicate body lines.

As soon as he spoke, as soon as he took off his military coat, everyone was surprised.

…… First, this monkey-skinny kid is actually an army second lieutenant.

…… Second, this boy who is as thin as a monkey is actually a girl.

Shi Shengli and Xu Xiangde looked at each other, and the other officers and soldiers in the room also looked at each other.

What's going on? Didn't the command say to send snipers? …… What is this for? Think the front line isn't chaotic enough?

Shi Shengli frowned and said:

"We have a medic here."

The girl was stunned for a moment, and said in a bit of a daze:

"I ...... I'm not a military doctor. Well, do you want a military doctor? ”

Shi Shengli was a little angry and shouted:

"So what do you do? How did you get here? Still sitting in the armored car of the High Command? ”

The girl was startled, unconsciously took a few steps back, looked at this "murderer" in a daze, slowly became a little unconfident, and asked a person behind her very nervously:

"Cuicui, we ...... We're in the wrong place, aren't we? ”

When she asked, everyone noticed that there was a small soldier behind her, carrying a big bag, who was also a little female soldier. The little female soldier named "Cuicui" didn't care about it, and said with a smile:

"That's right, this is it. Behold, there are not two lying on the ground? Xiaoya, you're confused again. ”

"Xiaoya" looked to the ground and saw two officers killed by Qing snipers. She stared at it, her face slowly turning white, as if she had seen a dead person for the first time. Suddenly, she reacted, stood upright, and said loudly to Shi Shengli:

"Sir, Second Lieutenant Nan Xiaoya, a 33rd intern at Tangshan Sniper School, report to you! …… Well, this is Pi Cuicui, my secondary shooter. ”

Shi Shengli stared at them both incredulously, and his nose was almost crooked:

"Sniper...... Sniper School ...... True...... Intern...... Xu Xiangde, help me take over the headquarters again! Are you kidding! ”

Nan Xiaoya bit her lip, holding her canvas bag rifle, looking very hurt to her self-esteem, she lowered her head and whispered:

"Sir...... Give me a chance...... I'm the best ...... of our session Let me try......"

Shi Shengli ignored her at all, answered the phone, and complained into the microphone.

However, gradually, his expression converged, and he looked at Nan Xiaoya in surprise, listening to Xiang Xiaoqiang's voice in the microphone:

“…… Victory, you rejoice, this is also the commander's eagerness to take down the zoo, so he sent a trump card to you! Nan Xiaoya is the best student since the establishment of Tangshan Sniper School! Not one of them, but the best! Her drill results surpassed all students, surpassed the vast majority of instructors, and was second only to the three ace instructors! The command said that she was extremely talented and was born as a sniper seedling! …… By the way, I originally wanted her to represent Daming and participate in rifle shooting at this year's Berlin Olympics, but she gave up because of the war! …… Yes, I just knew! This is Nan Xiaoya's first actual battle, and the headquarters sent her to our People's Guard Force for internship, you have to cooperate with others! ”

Shi Shengli put down the phone and looked at the timid girl in front of him again. …… Is this an ace? An ace intern at best......

……

A Lightning-2 tank drove up in front of the crocodile pond, facing the Monkey Mountain opposite.

In the turret, Nan Xiaoya stuck to the periscope and observed carefully. …… Gradually, his breathing became steady, and his body subconsciously entered a state of absolute silence. It was as if her soul had wandered out of her body and merged into the target area.

The commander and the gun commander leaned as far as they could, consciously or unconsciously breathing in the faint fragrance of the girl...... Cozy!

But gradually, the two couldn't bear it anymore. The captain looked at his watch, it had been half an hour, the two big men were very tired, and the girl in front of him had just kept a half-squatting state, not moving! …… That is, the face moves slightly with the periscope.

The gun commander coughed and looked at the commander. The commander shrugged, also with an incredulous expression.

After another twenty minutes, Nan Xiaoya said softly:

"At 11 o'clock, at a distance of 230 meters, in the middle of the mound ahead, under the third cypress tree from the left, and in the bush on the right, a Qing army sniper."

The commander quickly got on the periscope and observed the past as she said. Nan Xiaoya only groaned at this time and almost fell to the ground. The gunner quickly helped her up.

There was no way, she was short, and she couldn't reach the periscope while sitting, so she had to half-squat. But once she enters the state of latent observation, she has no feeling for her body. If necessary, she can hold one position all day.

"I said," the commander looked at for a long time, puzzled, "no." Isn't it the cypress tree with a small sapling next to it? ”

Nan Xiaoya rubbed her legs and muttered:

"yes, yes, that's it. …… Actually, it was not a small sapling, but a branch and leaf that had been broken off from a nearby cypress tree and tied together. …… Do you think that cypress tree is missing a lot of branches and leaves? ”

The commander looked into the periscope and muttered:

"Hmm...... Really...... Hey, you're amazing! Ah, I see the barrel of his gun! Damn, the bunny cub is so tightly wrapped! …… Goal: Cypress trees on the mound ahead! Eleven o'clock! 230 meters! High-explosive shells! Exterminate! ”

The turret turned a few degrees to the left, and the gunner shouted:

"High-explosive shells, good!"

"Put!"

The turret shook violently, Nan Xiaoya fell to the ground, and got up pitifully, and the commander shouted:

"Beautiful! …… That kid blew up to the sky! Ah, it fell! Joyfully! ”

In an instant, cheers could be heard from behind through the turret. The long-endured cowardice of the People's Guard Tank Battalion and the anxiety of waiting for a long time all burst out in an instant.

"230 meters, haha," the commander laughed, "It's really 230 meters, I promise, the error is within 5 meters!" I can't imagine that your infantry is so accurate in visual distance! ”

"I'm ...... Sniper. ”

Nan Xiaoya muttered.

……

Behind it, a Lightning-3 tank dragged a dead rhinoceros and drove towards the artificial river with green smoke. Nan Xiaoya heard the sound of the engine, and hurriedly rushed to the periscope to look, frightened:

"No! Don't let them out! The Qing army also has snipers! ”

The commander immediately put on a headset and issued a warning. Then complained to Nan Xiaoya:

"Why don't you show it all together!"

Nan Xiaoya bit her lip, didn't speak, and continued to observe with the periscope attached to it. After a while, she picked up the radio and said:

"Cuicui, it's your turn."

In the rhinoceros pavilion, Pi Cuicui replied with a headset:

"Understood."

Pitrei sat next to the gap in the wall, carrying a steel helmet with her rifle, and slowly lifted it up from below, little by little.

The eyes of the officers and soldiers in the room widened, and although this kind of trick was already played by snipers, they had never seen it before. It's all new at the moment. A soldier couldn't help but exclaim:

"Hey, that's a great idea! I couldn't have imagined it! ”

Pi Cuicui was secretly amused, glanced at him, and then pulled the large canvas bag, rummaged through it, and pulled out something.

Shi Shengli saw that it was the head of a wooden model used in a store. It seems like there's something made of a few wires on it.

As everyone looked at each other, Pi Cuicui quickly assembled it with his hands and feet, and then took a Ming army steel helmet to put on the dummy's head. Then she pulled over a table, placed it under a high window, climbed up, and crouched under it.

She said into the headset:

"Xiaoya, pay attention, I'm going to start."

Then, holding the dummy stand in her hand, Pi Cuicui held her breath and lifted it up little by little, using as much force as evenly and slowly as possible, like a real person.

The dummy's steel helmet peeks out of the window. …… full, eyebrows and eyes are also exposed.

At this point, she pushed another bracket, and a telescope appeared in front of the dummy's eyes. She carefully turned the dummy, mimicking the man's movements, as if an officer were looking through a glass window.

The technique of using the barrel to pick a steel helmet obviously could not deceive the Qing sniper on the other side. In particular, two people had already been killed in that gap, and the Qing army snipers did not believe that anyone would emerge from there. Especially after they learned that the other party had a professional sniper.

Nan Xiaoya's trick is to satisfy the other party's self-confidence first, let him taste the pleasure of "seeing through the trick", and then let him inadvertently discover the "real goal".

……

Nan Xiaoya was attached to the periscope, her mind was highly concentrated, only her lungs were breathing weakly, her heartbeat slowly slowed down, and her whole body entered a static state again. …… But the brain is running at high speed, analyzing several "suspicious points".

The first, fifty-five meters to the right of Monkey Mountain, has a flower bed planted with holly and moon, which has been blown to pieces, and the messy flowers and shrubs, mixed with bomb craters, mud, and cement blocks, are very suitable for concealment.

The second place is the Lion and Tiger Pavilion on the opposite side of the artificial river, 80 meters in front of the right. The iron fence of the lion and tiger pavilion was facing this side, and it could be seen that several lions in the animal house were very excited, walking around and pounced on the iron railing from time to time. The lion, in particular, with its long mane, ran quickly, pounced on the left and the right. …… It was by no means because of the fright of the shelling, but because of the excitement. The anxious excitement of wanting to attack but not being able to. …… That's right.

Outside the Lion and Tiger Pavilion, a few meters to the left, is a small forest. Although there are only seven or eight trees, they are all evergreens with lush branches, and each one of them may have a Tibetan in its canopy.

The third place is the giant eagle cage on the top of the Monkey Mountain, next to the Monkey House. The eagle cage was more than ten meters high, three meters in diameter, welded steel bars, and withered tree trunks were placed inside. The ground in the cage is modeled after the natural environment, with some stones, shrubs, and a lot of hay. If you want to talk about Tibetans, it's also a good place.

Nan Xiaoya used to come to the zoo to play, and knew that there was always an eagle and a vulture in the cage. But now the cage is intact, but the eagle and vulture are gone. …… Why?

…… Obviously, if there are two large birds in the cage, every shot fired by the sniper inside will cause the big birds to fly up and down, revealing the target.

Suddenly, behind the dead tree trunk in the eagle's cage, a small puff of white smoke rose.

……

"Dang!"

The high window glass of the rhinoceros hall was shattered, and the dummy in Pi Cuicui's hand was shot and fell to the ground. She shouted excitedly:

"Xiaoya, Xiaoya! See? Where is it? ”

Nan Xiaoya was ecstatic in her heart, but she still said steadily:

"At 11 o'clock, 240 meters, the eagle cage on the top of the mountain, behind the trunk of the dead tree, the bush is a Qing army sniper."

"Well, voila!"

The commander no longer doubted it this time, and immediately gave the order, the barrel of the cannon was raised, and with a "dang" shot, the dry tree trunk in the eagle cage was blown into two pieces, and a man covered with grass and trees was clearly seen falling to the ground.

There was another cheer outside the tank. But this time, no one moved forward recklessly, and they were all waiting for Nan Xiaoya to "revoke the alarm".

Nan Xiaoya stared at the Lion and Tiger Pavilion, watching the lions running around, and felt more and more that there was something nearby. She said:

"Why don't you go to the flower beds and groves next to the Lion and Tiger Pavilion?"

At this time, Shi Shengli's voice appeared on the radio, the difference is that his voice is now full of admiration:

"Nan Xiaoya, do you suspect that there are snipers around the Lion and Tiger Pavilion?"

"yes."

"Okay, don't shoot everywhere like this, let's let the lion out."

Nan Xiaoya was taken aback, and immediately understood what he was going to do. Nan Xiaoya couldn't bear it for a while, and said cowardly:

"This ...... Isn't that cruel......"

Shi Shengli ignored her and directly ordered the commander:

"Shoot at the iron locks of the Lion Tiger Pavilion and the Lion Animal House, and open the door!"

"Yes!"

The commander and the gun commander were very excited, and the two turned the turret around, and then the gun commander took aim hard for a long time with the coaxial machine gun, and fired a point shot.

A hole was dug around the lock, and the big lock was hit twice, but it didn't fall. The lion inside was frightened. The lion shook his head and stood up against the iron railing, becoming more and more agitated.

The gun commander fired another point, and the big iron lock fell to the ground. Another shuttle was struck, and even the surrounding iron latches were broken.

The male lion felt the movement of the iron railing. The feline's cleverness makes it know what to do. With the top of its head and its claws, it pulled out a crack in the iron fence and got out first. Immediately afterwards, several smaller lionesses also came out.

The lion first pounced under a tree, put his paws on the trunk, looked up, licked his nose with his tongue, and then grabbed the trunk and climbed up one by one.

A puff of white smoke rose from the canopy, followed by a shot falling out. The male lion seemed to be frightened by the sound of the gunshot, and jumped off the tree in confusion and ran away.

But the lions had apparently been unfed for several days and were hungry, and another lioness deftly climbed the tree and dragged one of the soldiers down. He flicked his hands and feet twice in despair, and then stopped moving. Immediately afterwards, a large group of lions pounced on them and tore them apart.

At this time, the male lion ran over, drove the female lioness away, and went up to eat it himself.

The lionesses lost their prey and turned away. Two lionesses pounced on the flower bed at the same time, and dragged out a soldier from inside.

Nan Xiaoya sat on the side, watching the captain stick to the periscope, biting her pale lip, and understanding what was happening. She closed her eyes, trembled and gasped for breath, and said with the last of her strength:

"Clear ...... Qing army sniper...... All...... It's all cleared, and you can advance ......"

The commander's face was also pale, but he muttered:

"That infantryman's name is Liu Xiaosheng...... Nan Xiaoya, you avenged him...... There are several other people, and you have avenged them as well......"

Nan Xiaoya only now understands what she has done.

…… This was her first practical and post-graduation internship. Although he didn't shoot himself, he killed four people at once. From today, the bloody sniper career will begin.

She leaned limply against the bulkhead, her hands and feet cold, and began to cry.
