On the battlefield of Dandong, he glanced at the two companions who were lying not far from him, and the blood had stained the ground below him, Cai Wenying was lying in the corner of the ruins, not daring to move...

On Cai Wenying's forehead, a trace of cold sweat can be faintly seen flowing down from it.

Just now, the two teammates who were acting with him were suddenly shot down by cold guns that came from nowhere, which made Cai Wenying, who had been very active on the Dandong battlefield since half a year ago, understand that there were Japanese snipers around.

So almost immediately, Cai Wenying lay on the ground and happened to dodge a bullet fired at him. This is also one of the reasons why Cai Wenying will have cold sweat on his forehead, because if he had hid even a little slower just now, I'm afraid he would have to lie on the ground and accompany his companions now...

And after looking at the unknown fate of his companions on the ground, Cai Wenying hated the sniper who didn't know where to hide and aimed his gun at here...

――――――――――――――――――――――

Sniper...

The sniper appeared very early, as early as the Civil War in the United States, but the sniper really began to be active on the battlefield in the European war. Therefore, soldiers who have participated in the European war are usually not very unfamiliar with snipers, after all, on the Western Front, when the war has entered the stage of trench warfare, the cold gun of a sniper can be said to be very deadly. However, most of the people who have participated in the European war in the Wehrmacht are concentrated in the three military regions of Baghdad, Astana, and the Urals, and there are not many people in the Shenyang Military Region who have participated in the European war. And even among these very few people, most of them are officers who served in the expeditionary force and were finally transferred to the Shenyang Military Region...

Originally, the Ministry of National Defense transferred these officers to the Shenyang Military Region for the purpose of allowing them to teach the troops of the Shenyang Military Region the experience they had learned in Europe. And his own subordinates. Who would have thought that not long after they arrived in the Northeast, the Japanese launched a 'despicable and shameless' sneak attack on the Yalu River.

Because of this, at the beginning, Dandong's troops really suffered a lot from the Japanese. Although there are a lot of snipers on the side of the Wehrmacht, the sniper level of the Japanese is not very bad, and they can be called equal to each other, and it is naturally impossible to talk about using snipers against snipers and so on. As for pitting ordinary soldiers against snipers? That's pure death. After all, if nothing else, there is already a huge gap between the weapons in each other's hands alone.

The effective range of an ordinary rifle is at most two or three hundred meters, which does not mean that the bullet is not lethal if it flies out of this distance. It's the human eye, just by the front sight on the rifle and the like, even a sharpshooter can only aim at a target two or three hundred meters away at most, if it's any farther. I don't want to say if I can hit it. Whether you can see it or not, and how to aim after seeing it is a question...

On the other hand, it is not impossible for a sniper rifle to reach an effective range of five or six hundred meters or even seven or eight hundred meters after being equipped with a scope. In addition, the accuracy of sniper rifles is much higher than that of ordinary rifles, so that ordinary soldiers can use the rifles in their hands to deal with snipers, it can't be regarded as looking for death, but it really doesn't make much difference...

Fortunately, after a long time, the ordinary officers and soldiers below have also figured out a set of ways to deal with snipers. This may not work elsewhere. But it can be of some use in this kind of urban warfare―――――― even if the city is about to be reduced to ruins.

The way to do this is to bomb with artillery, of course. This is not about artillery ...

Artillery such as field artillery is good, but it is too large and relatively inaccurate, not to mention small targets such as snipers. Unless the distance and angle are correct, it is difficult to say what exactly will be hit in the end.

The guns they use against snipers, are mortars!

For ordinary infantry, the best way to deal with snipers is probably to use mortar shelling. After all, this kind of gun has enough range, enough power, and the most important thing is that the gun itself is very light in size and weight. Coupled with the fact that the Wehrmacht is equipped with a lot of these weapons, it can be said that this is definitely a big trump card used by the Wehrmacht against snipers.

In fact, in the past six months, there have indeed been many Japanese snipers who have died under mortar shells.

In addition, ordinary soldiers have another trump card in their hands, which is also specially used to deal with snipers, but whether it is this trump card or another trump card, if you want to deal with snipers, you first need to meet one condition, a crucial condition―――――― first find out the other party...

If you can't find each other, even if you use rocket artillery, it's useless!

Therefore, while lying on the ground, Cai Wenying was also cautiously looking around, wanting to see where the hellish sniper was. It's just that while checking carefully, Cai Wenying didn't dare to move at all.

"Since the other party hasn't fired yet, it means that the position I'm in now is a dead end for his shooting, but if I get up, I'm afraid I will..."

After staying in Dandong for so long and not dying, or being sent to the hospital in the rear because of his injuries, Cai Wenying naturally summed up a set of his own experience. One of the lessons learned is that when you encounter a sniper, you either have to compete with the opponent for patience, or you can find a way to find the opponent and kill the opponent...

Cai Wenying really wants to compete with the other party for patience, at least Cai Wenying herself feels that her patience is still very good. The problem was that it was so close to the front line, and there was a chance that Japanese soldiers would appear at any time, and if that were the case, he would definitely die an ugly death.

So in order to avoid this from happening, he has only two paths to choose.

One is to wait here, fight patience with the other party, and then bet that there will be no Japanese soldiers passing by nearby to kill themselves. One is to find out the other party as much as possible, and the rest is even simpler...

Deal with each other...

Thinking of this, Cai Wenying took out a hanger from his equipment. There's also something slightly larger than a grenade, and the whole thing has a somewhat odd look like a cannonball.

Lying on the ground like this, Cai Wenying hung the pylon under the barrel of his rifle. Then, slowly, carefully, another thing that looked like a cannonball was mounted on the pylon. Soon, the rifle in Cai Wenying's hand turned into another strange thing, but after holding the weapon in his hand, Cai Wenying seemed a little more confident...

――――――――――――――――――――

As mentioned earlier, ordinary soldiers in the Wehrmacht usually have two trump cards when dealing with snipers on other fronts in Dandong and even in North Korea, one is mortars. Another one...

It's the strange thing that Cai Wenying just assembled on the weapon...

The former can be said to be one of the most effective anti-sniper weapons, and the only thing lacking is probably accuracy. After all, even the cannon did not dare to say that it could hit a hundred shots in the face of a target. Not to mention mortars.

And in addition to mortars, another trump card is grenades ...

Gun-mounted grenades, to be exact ...

The gun-mounted grenade launcher is a non-staffed infantry weapon that was generally attached to assault rifles or automatic rifles in later generations. It is mainly used to combat concealed or exposed living targets, important communication command facilities and light armored vehicles within 400 meters. It can greatly improve the surface kill and anti-armor capabilities of infantry, especially suitable for urban street warfare and mountain jungle combat.

Compared with automatic grenade launchers, gun-mounted grenade launchers have shortcomings such as short range and low rate of fire, but they have the characteristics of simple structure, small size, light weight, good mobility and easy maintenance, and are ideal infantry grenade weapons.

In fact, there are two main types of grenades used for rifles at this time, one is the so-called gun grenade, and the other is the gun-mounted grenade...

The case of a grenade is well understood, it is a kind of super-caliber ammunition that is attached to the front of the barrel and fired with a gun and bullets. It can be divided into anti-personnel type and anti-armor type. To put it simply, it is to insert a grenade into the barrel of a gun. And a grenade fired in this way.

As for the gun-mounted grenade, it is like Cai Wenying did, adding a pendant under the rifle, and then hanging the grenade to the pendant.

The way that is currently popular in the world is actually the first one, which is the so-called gun grenade. Because the advantage of this method is very obvious, that is, simplicity!

You just need to load the grenade on the muzzle, you don't need to care about anything else, it is no different from firing a rifle with a rifle, I am afraid there is no easier way to do it, and the cost is lower ...

The problem is that this is very inconvenient, especially when fighting, in case of an emergency, the rifle in your hand is basically useless―――――― you can't always fire with a grenade hanging from the muzzle, that will ensure that you die faster than the other party...

In comparison, the advantages of the gun hanging type are more obvious.

One of the most important points is that it is very convenient to use, and there is no need to worry about encountering unexpected situations. And as long as it is assembled, it can be used while fighting, and there is no need to temporarily take it out and install it on the muzzle ...

Of course, the grenade also has its own advantages, that is, because it is mounted on the muzzle, it is especially necessary to consider the volume of the grenade itself. The grenade can be made larger, so that it will become more powerful...

All in all, each has its own advantages, and there is no question of who replaces whom.

However, when choosing the grenade method, Yan Shao finally chose the gun-mounted type...

On the one hand, it is because the combat efficiency of this method is very high, and the second point is that when the gun grenade is used, there is always a very backward feeling, compared with the gun hanging type, it gives people a much more advanced feeling.

Although the cost of this choice is much higher than that of a gun grenade, in the end, Yan Shao chose the gun hanging type...

――――――――――――――――――――

The effective range of the 35mm gun-mounted grenade on Cai Wenying's rifle is about 400 meters, which is quite good, and if it is played well against snipers, it can play a very good effect. This is especially true in urban terrain, where for most of the year, many Japanese snipers who are more rookie have died at the hands of this weapon...

This also makes ordinary soldiers not even have the ability to resist when facing snipers...

Merely...

On the other hand. At a distance of almost 300 meters from Cai Wenying's location, a Japanese soldier was aiming at Cai Wenying's hiding place with a crosshair.

In the sniping process just now, he shot Cai Wenying's other two comrades-in-arms very accurately. It's just that when he shot Cai Wenying's two teammates, Cai Wenying quickly fell to the ground, and tried to find a hidden place to escape...

Watching your prey escape in front of your eyes? This is clearly unacceptable to this Japanese sniper. So he waited quietly, waiting for the prey to show itself, as a sniper, he didn't think that the Chinese soldier not far away had better endurance than himself.

However, Cai Wenying's concise movements just now also made him understand. This time, the prey he was eyeing didn't seem to be very easy to deal with. It's just that this kind of increased difficulty makes him more excited.

Just when the Japanese sniper was about to compete with Cai Wenying, there was a sudden noise behind the sniper. I was shocked. The sniper thought that it was a Chinese behind him, and looked back sharply, only to find that it was his own people.

Noticing this, the sniper was overjoyed.

Although he prefers that he can solve the prey one-on-one. But as a soldier. He knew better that the battlefield was definitely not the place to care about such things.

But just as he made some noise to attract the soldiers below who looked like they were passing by, he got the news that surprised him a little.

"Withdraw?"

Hearing this, the sniper almost had difficulty controlling his expression.

"That's right!" The leading Japanese officer nodded. "The order from above, to suspend the offensive, and at the same time order all those who were fighting in front to immediately withdraw to the rear..."

"What the hell is going on, how could such an inexplicable order be given from above!"

For most of the past six months, the Japanese army in Dandong has been attacking, attacking and attacking. Even though they knew that the hope of capturing Dandong was very slim, they never gave up the attack. And now. They were suddenly ordered to pause their attacks, and even told them to retreat some distance, so it was no wonder that the sniper was incomprehensible.

Looking at the sniper's expression, the leading officer seemed to understand his mood as well.

Not to mention that he had seen many similar scenes along the way, in fact, he felt as inexplicable in his heart as this sniper.

"I don't know very much about that," said the officer, shaking his head and continuing. In any case, an order is an order, so why don't you withdraw it with us? ”

Hearing the officer say this, the sniper glanced at Cai Wenying's hiding place with some reluctance.

I thought that these people were here and could ask them to help deal with the Chinese soldier who was hidden, but who would have thought that they would get such a news.

At this time, the distance between them and Cai Wenying's hiding place was only more than three hundred meters, and the distance of more than three hundred meters was naturally not very far, but after considering the rough roads of the city after being beaten into ruins, the distance of more than three hundred meters was probably impossible to walk in a few minutes.

This would have been nothing if it had been some time ago, but with all the troops retreating, no one dared to guarantee that after discovering this, the Chinese would not take advantage of the situation to advance to the front...

If you really encounter a large army of Chinese, they will be the prey by then.

Therefore, although he was very unwilling in his heart, after thinking about it for a long time, he still nodded and spoke.

"Let's get out of here—" he said, and he began to gather his weapons and some of the things that were placed next to him. About three minutes later, the Japanese soldiers evacuated from their original locations, leaving Cai Wenying himself still in his hiding place, carefully searching for the sniper's traces.

The sniper had guessed correctly, and about fifteen minutes after they had left, a group of soldiers passed by, almost a company in terms of strength, but it was not made up.

As the soldiers walked cautiously, they spotted Cai Wenying, who was wondering where the Japanese sniper had gone. At the beginning, looking at a person hiding in the corner, sneaky, those soldiers immediately pointed their guns at Cai Wenying, if it weren't for someone's sharp eyes and saw the military uniform on Cai Wenying's body, I'm afraid Cai Wenying would have died under the guns of his own people.

And from their mouths, Cai Wenying also learned the news that the Japanese were retreating on all fronts...

"Retreat? Did something happen? Cai Wenying, who got the news, was a little surprised, after all, the Japanese had left a deep impression on him in the past six months. One of the impressions is that these Japanese people are like drilling the tip of a bull's horns, and they will die if they see one direction and will not look back.

In the past half a year, Cai Wenying has really not seen a few Japanese who took the initiative to bow their heads. The Japanese offensive never stopped.

Now that the Japanese have suddenly retreated, Cai Wenying will naturally be very surprised when she hears the news.

"Who knows," the officer leading the group shook his head. We were also ordered to move forward, so I was lucky to run into you..."

Hearing the officer say this, Cai Wenying nodded.

Just looked at the weapon that had been assembled in his hand, and after shaking his head, Cai Wenying didn't know whether he should be happy or disappointed in not being able to share life and death with the Japanese sniper just now...

Maybe...

It's both... (To be continued......)
