Chapter 43: Ambush

"The infantry has been completely solved, and we can't solve the remaining tanks, do you want to retreat?" John asked.

"No, let's continue to wait, those tanks have nothing to do with us in this terrain, we wait for their reinforcements to come, and then we will do their vote, and wait for them to chase us into the mountains." Licorice showed a rare sly smile, which was judged by the experience summed up after two years of war.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a large group of enemy troops to come to this intersection again, but this time it was not a reconnaissance force with only a few dozen soldiers and a few tanks as before, but about a thousand or so infantry, without tanks. Sure enough, the Soviet troops here are almost finished fighting the armored troops, licorice and other snipers continue to shoot at what they think is valuable targets, with the death of all the officers of this enemy army, licorice decisively retreated with John, and there is no need to notify other snipers, because each sniper has his own judgment ability, just like just now, in the face of the approach of the enemy's nearly 1,000 infantry, the frequency of death of enemy soldiers has been significantly reduced, as an elite sniper, It's impossible that the enemy won't be able to hit anyone if you get close to you, and it's obvious that some snipers have chosen to retreat.

"John, how many bullets do you have?" The two were running through the woods, and Licorice suddenly asked John.

"42 rounds." John replied without hesitation.

"I still have 40 rounds left, and it seems that I have to find a way to get some ammunition, but the Soviets are all using 7.62mm bullets, which are not compatible with what we use, which is really troublesome." Licorice said with a frown.

"The M1 rifle is actually good, or the Mosin-Nagant rifle is also good, but these two guns are too short in range to be suitable for sniping above 600 meters." John sighed as he named two rifles used by the enemy.

"Our current situation is less than 600 meters, and the basic combat distance is about 500 meters, maybe you can consider it?" Licorice said after thinking about the performance of the two rifles John was talking about.

"Wait until you find a lone enemy, kill them, grab two as a backup, be prepared." John nodded.

"That's it, let's just wait, I remember you seem to have laid mines nearby?" Licorice found a sniper point and lay down and said, the camouflage suits suitable for jungle warfare have been updated in the mountains before, and now they are all withered yellow leaves, but after a while, when it snows, these camouflage suits will be useless, and licorice They are not prepared for snow combat.

"I'll take a look, well, that's right, around there, it's a minefield, and I and a few other insidious guys have laid a lot of mines around here." John took a closer look at his surroundings and pointed in one direction.

"Hehe, sinister fellow, that's apt." Licorice chuckled softly.

"Don't look at me, I'm not sinister, at least not as sinister as those few, it is said that they like to use traps when they carry out their missions, and then wait quietly for their prey to step on the trap like an old hunter, and then shoot them the last blow, how can they snipe so decisively as we do." John shrugged and said that he had some communication with those people and knew how insidious they were.

"Who made them hunt and you cut wood, that's the difference between professions." Licorice said with a smile.

"Indeed, this is the difference between the professions we were engaged in before, after a while the enemy chased after us, we ran over there, you follow me, those guys are very good at laying mines, I only remember the general route, and I don't have time to help you for a while." After the joke was over, John said seriously again.

"No problem!" Licorice nodded, he knew very well how dangerous that minefield was, and he would definitely follow John closely when the time came, after all, although he could vaguely sense the danger, but he didn't have the ability to clear mines, there were so many mines in that minefield, God knows when he would step on it.

After waiting for a while, sure enough, the enemy's infantry began to search the mountains, and their commanders also noticed that something was wrong, that is, these enemies' marksmanship and concealment ability are too strong, and they are very familiar with special operations, isn't this the sniper who has been active in various defense lines and sniped a large number of their own officers before, let's just say that in the past month, they seem to have suddenly disappeared from the battlefield, it turned out that they all ran to the mountains, and the threat of these enemies is very great, especially in the current terrain, They must all be killed, otherwise God knows how long the road construction will take, and as more troops arrived, the commander finally gave the order to search the mountains, and thousands of soldiers scattered and continued to advance in the mountains and forests.

"They really came, after waiting for so long, it is estimated that there are a lot of enemies this time, we can only fight, anyway, our main goal is to disrupt their operation to repair the road." Under a pile of withered yellow leaves, Licorice said softly.

"The number of enemies is about fifteen, I don't know if there are other squads around, it seems that their commander also understands our strength, and does not dare to let his soldiers be too scattered." John said after a moment of careful observation.

"Let's fight first, if someone comes, retreat, the old rule, I'll be left and you'll be right." Licorice whispered, then waited a little before starting to shoot.

"Bang!" With the sound of two gunshots, the Soviet soldiers who were constantly searching the surroundings in front immediately fell down, and the remaining soldiers quickly lay down and looked in the direction where the gunshots had just sounded, while Licorice and John had dispersed to find the next sniper point, and these soldiers lying on the ground gave them the best chance to shift their positions.

"Bang!" Two gunshots rang out one after the other, and two more enemies couldn't stand up anymore, and the remaining 11 soldiers began to shoot in the direction where the gunshots rang out, but this made Licorice and John's sniping easier, because their gunfire was no longer so obvious, mixed with a large number of other gunfires, even experienced veterans could hardly quickly distinguish the direction of the gunfire, these soldiers looked like inexperienced recruits, and when facing snipers, they were completely like headless flies, Not only will it not cause any trouble to the sniper, but it will hasten its own death.

Licorice kept changing shooting locations, and they explored this mountain forest for a month, where they could see and where they could shoot, not to mention that it was like going home, but they had almost remembered it.

Sniping an enemy with one shot again, Licorice silently counted the number in his heart, there should only be the last two left, and after firing the shot, he decisively moved the location again, but after so long, the enemy's support should be coming, and it must be done quickly.

This time, in order to pursue speed, Licorice did not deliberately run to the next sniper point, but hid behind a tree and shot directly at the target, accompanied by a gunshot, watching the target tilt his head and gradually fall to the ground, Licorice thought in his heart, "Sure enough, I am still not suitable to be a sniper, because I am not calm enough." With the fall of this target, another shot rang out, and the last enemy was killed by John.

There was no time to check if the enemy had survived, Licorice quickly ran to the place where the enemy had fallen, because Licorice had no intention of concealing it, John saw all this clearly from a distance, and picked up his gun again to help Licorice to guard the surrounding movements.

Licorice put the rifle behind his back, ran quickly, and soon ran to the place where the closest target died, the back of the Soviet soldier's head blossomed, and he was lying quietly on the ground full of dead leaves, gradually getting colder, presumably being hit by John from behind when he was facing Licorice. Seeing the target's injuries, Licorice no longer cared about it, walked forward quickly, turned the dead soldier over, carefully searched his belt and the pockets of his jacket, and removed all the useless things, and turned out to be only 5 bullets. Licorice put away the bullets, bent down to pick up the Mosin rifle on the ground, pulled the bolt and took a look, there were only two bullets in it. Did a Soviet infantryman carry only 10 rounds? That's just a little bit better than the recruits in Stalingrad who are fighting next door, right? At least a gun and 10 rounds of ammunition, isn't it? Stalingrad's recruits were two men with 10 rounds of ammunition per gun.

Licorice didn't delay any longer, and quickly searched all the loot, one of the two soldiers who was killed at the beginning was obviously an officer, and 30 bullets were found from licorice, so it turned out that the officer was treated like this? Licorice thought disdainfully. After picking out two Mosin rifles that could still be seen, Licorice quickly ran back to the sniper point where he had been at the beginning, and joined John.

"How's the catch?" John asked with a smile.

"Generally, well, the gun for you, there are 105 rounds of 7.62mm bullets, keep it for the time being, and then we will use up the 7.92mm bullets left in the current 98K, I don't like their guns very much." Licorice said after dropping a Mosin rifle to John, then splitting half of the 7.62 bullet over.

"Hehe, it's just shoddy things, how can it be compared to ours." John said in a tone of arrogance and disdain, it can be seen that he is really disdainful of the mass production goods made by the Soviet army, how can he compare with the German army in terms of quality.

"We'll keep on guard, take out some more enemies and lead them into the minefield, and then we'll go back to the stronghold and get some rest, and let them continue to search the mountains." Licorice said lightly, Licorice both agreed with and opposed John's words, the quality of things made by the Soviet army is indeed inferior to the German army, but the most basic requirements for them to make things are low cost, durability, and large output. The German army is a variety of high-tech products, these are two completely different styles, but don't think that the Soviet army can't create high-tech, you know, in another time and space, the Soviet army has created a black technology product like a laser tank, and it seems that it has also been on the battlefield and experienced actual combat, but the secrecy work is very good.
