Zhang Heng had been lying on his stomach on the endless snowfield for half an hour, he held the M28 in his hand, put the butt of the gun against his right shoulder, his fingers were a little red and swollen from the cold, even with his usual calmness, he couldn't help but start to doubt whether he could finish today's training.

This is the seventy-ninth day he has been in this world, and the mission period has long passed, but because of the extra 24 hours, the time he spent in the ice and snow has been extended to one hundred and forty days, and now the time is just over half, but the good news is that the end of this war is not far away.

The first stage was from November 30, 1939, when the Soviet army launched a fierce attack on Finland in four ways.

At this time, Finland was basically stunned by the Soviet Union, especially the main duel on the Karelian Isthmus, the Soviet army was never able to break through the Mannerheim Line, which Finland had painstakingly operated for more than ten years, and because it had not been able to figure out the reality of the Finnish army's defense, it only captured the 20~60 km deep support zone of the Finnish army after paying a heavy price.

But in January, the situation began to deteriorate sharply, and the Soviets formed the Northwestern Front on the Karelian Isthmus, and appointed Timoshenko as commander, who also served as the commander-in-chief of the front, mobilizing two army groups, a total of 21 infantry divisions, and 6 tank brigades, to launch a fierce attack on the Mannerheim Line.

Recently, there have been more and more urgent reports on the front line, but for the time being, they have nothing to do with Zhang Heng, during this time he has experienced more than 20 battles, large and small, almost every day on the verge of death, and it is not as easy as in the first war, even with his caution, he has hung up several times, the most dangerous one A grenade fell in front of his eyes, but I don't know if the lucky rabbit foot on his waist played a role, and the grenade did not explode in the end, which also allowed Zhang Heng to escape.

This is indeed the most dangerous game he has ever experienced, there are many uncontrollable factors on the battlefield, and even if he makes all the right choices, he can still die by accident.

However, the huge pressure also made him burst out with unprecedented potential, Zhang Heng's skiing and shooting skills improved rapidly, especially the latter, it only took less than a month to upgrade to lv1, according to this progress, he may be able to reach lv2 in another month.

Now his sniper shooting range has increased to 200 meters, and at this distance he can basically ensure a hit rate of more than 80%, but his main improvement is not the range.

Simon has been helping Zhang Heng improve his sniper's comprehensive quality and battlefield smell, which is the reason why his performance is getting better and better.

The two of them are now in observation training, Simon used a trap to catch five snow ferrets, which are slender, mouse-like small animals, the girl marked their bodies, and then released them, Zhang Heng needs to kill three of them to complete the training.

This little thing is covered in pure white fur, it is very difficult to distinguish in the snow, and it is very alert, half an hour passed, Zhang Heng only found and shot one, and four others completely did not know where to run, Zhang Heng even suspected that they had run out of this area.

After another ten minutes, Zhang Heng finally found half of the exposed little head in a snow ditch, but the distance between the two sides was a little far at the moment, Zhang Heng didn't plan to wait any longer, for fear that this little thing would run away again in the next moment, he pulled the trigger, but the stiff fingers obviously affected the shooting accuracy.

The shot missed, and the ferret was frightened and disappeared into the ditch.

Zhang Heng shook his head, put away the rifle in his hand, and gave up this training.

He saw Simon on the other side sitting in front of the campfire in a daze.

In the last week, the partisans have also been on vacation, and the fighting in the other areas is largely over, just waiting for the Karelian Isthmus to divide the victory, or rather, to see if Finland can hold out until international aid arrives.

Britain and France promised to send expeditionary forces to fight in Finland, but Sweden and Norway explicitly rejected the Allied request for transit, while Germany made it clear that it had no intention of participating in the Soviet-Finnish war or mediating, and Finland began to be pessimistic about whether reinforcements could arrive in time and whether they could withstand the Soviet attack if they arrived.

At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been negotiating with the Soviet Union for the possibility of an armistice, but the harsh conditions put forward by the Soviet Union are difficult to accept.

It's already February, and the further the clock goes, the more unfavorable the battle situation will become as the weather warms up.

Zhang Heng can quickly let go of these things and stop thinking about it because he does not belong to any party to the war, but for Simon, her country is about to lose, and she will even face the danger of losing her country, I am afraid that it is a different taste in her heart.

Zhang Heng could feel that the latter's mood was obviously a little low in the recent period, but there was not much he could do, and his personal strength had little impact on a war, even if he could have the same strength as Simon, he still couldn't change the final result.

So he had to find another way to make the girl's mood better.

Syllable! A snowball smashed on Simon's back, and the girl's face showed a look of confusion, but when she turned around, she was hit by two snowballs in her left arm, so she immediately bent down to make ammunition.

The precise counterattack from the top sniper fell on Zhang Heng's chest, but at this time, Zhang Heng's two consecutive shots also arrived, Simon dodged the front one but was hit in the neck by the back one, and the snow fell in the collar so that she couldn't help but shiver, but it also aroused her competitive spirit.

Snowballs fluttered and swirled in the air, and for a moment, at least, Simon forgot the trauma and pain of the war for her.

…………

It was already night when the two returned to camp. Zhang Heng boiled water by himself and took a hot bath, and when he walked outside the firewood room where he lived with his clothes on, he unexpectedly saw the female doctor Maggie there.

"You're back late."

Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows, "Something?" ”

"The battle on the Karelian Isthmus is unfavorable, the Soviet army has broken through the first line of defense, there is news that those guys above are ready to agree to the demands of the Soviet Union, the war is almost over, Aki wants to talk to you, I don't know if you are free."
