Chapter Twenty-Eight: Sniper Operations
In the dense jungle, Licorice and John walked forward one after the other, saying that it was a mountain, but it was actually a mountain range, but the enemy would not hide very deeply, because they could not survive in the deep mountains, and the two slowly touched one of the enemy strongholds according to the previous mission information.
It was already the second day that the two of them entered the forest, and they were not in a hurry to find the enemy, but they were constantly groping and familiarizing themselves with the surrounding environment, or rather, all snipers were chosen this way, so the first day of their arrival was particularly quiet, and there were only a few occasional gunshots in the forest.
"Stop!" Licorice, who was exploring the path in front, suddenly stopped gesticulating, and John immediately reacted when he saw this.
"There seems to be a problem ahead, there may be mines?" Licorice said uncertainly, and John did not hesitate after hearing the words, and walked directly forward, carefully crossed the licorice, and went to the front to clear the mines.
"Linus, your sense is quite accurate, there are indeed mines, but they are our own people, they should be nearby." After a little inspection, John said to licorice, and then a strange birdsong sounded, and John immediately responded, and in the distance, two figures in camouflage clothes stood up, approached, and said:
"You two are too slow to come, and in two hours we should all be on the move." A familiar voice, the person who spoke raised his head, although it was painted with camouflage, but Licorice still recognized it, it was Weber, and the person next to him should be Fischer.
"We took a little detour to get acquainted with the environment, but who planted the mine? It's so bad that it almost blew up on our own people! John grumbled dissatisfied.
"Who else could it be, Wagner's idiot, he calculated that if there was an enemy escaping, he would definitely go here, so he planted a mine, Meyer was more worried that his own people would pass by here before the start of the fight, so the two of us guarded here, but I didn't expect it to be like this." Fischer whispered.
"Fortunately, I feel sensitive and feel that there is a problem here, otherwise it may really step on it, and it is time for Wagner to go back and rebuild." Licorice said dissatisfiedly, John felt very speechless, it would blow up his own people is real, but it will be discovered, then no one really thought of it, at least if the other three people here don't know the situation here, it is really difficult to find the mine buried by Wagner.
"Okay, no nonsense, hurry up, the target is there, you can find your own sniper point, counting you in this operation, there are about six teams of snipers involved." Weber looked at the time and said directly, the current establishment of German snipers is a team of two, a main shooter, a secondary shooter and observer, and six teams of snipers are twelve snipers.
"Okay, let's go first." Licorice nodded and said, no longer hesitating, and directly took John to find a suitable sniper point.
In a sunny bush, Licorice and John were lying in the grass observing the enemy's stronghold, which was not large, that is, a settlement built with some small cabins and various tents, surrounded by a simple fence, judging by the scale, it could probably accommodate about 100 people. However, the Resistance's equipment appeared rudimentary, and the two Resistance sentries that Licorice observed through the scope were only rudimentary rifles.
"Pay attention to the entrance and exit of the target, it looks like a group of people are back." John's voice rang out.
Licorice immediately followed John's instructions to move the scope to the entrance, and happened to see about a squad of Resistance troops returning to the stronghold with sacks.
"What does it mean that there are no old people and children?" Licorice asked.
"This shows that their will to resist is very strong, and they are not recognized by their families, but it can be inferred from the fact that they can get supplies from time to time, and there are still many people in the surrounding towns who are willing to help them, and we will exterminate them all!" John whispered in a firm tone.
"Snuff them all out? Oh, who made you my deputy, listen to you this time. Licorice chuckled.
"This group of resistance forces has no sense of guarding against snipers, the settlement is completely undefended in our eyes, the surrounding high ground can hit most of their positions, and we have so many snipers that we can completely block this area, they are finished." John then said.
"The signal is here, and we can get started."
"See the two sentries on that watchtower? I'm left, you're right, fire! With the licorice voice fell.
"Bang!" A neat burst of gunfire rang out, and the two sentries fell to the ground with blood on their bodies, and two soldiers fell at the same time, even though there was only one gunshot.
"Beautiful, now block the entrance and exit, free fire!" After taking out the two sentinels, Licorice continued.
"Bang! ~~"Bursts of gunfire kept rang out, not only licorice was shooting here, but the German snipers hiding in various other places also shot at the first time, a resistance soldier fell to the ground unwillingly with blood on his body, and some people picked up their rifles and wanted to fight back, but they couldn't find the enemy at all, so they could only helplessly shoot at the place where the gunshots rang out, but the snipers were basically shooting six hundred meters away, this kind of random shooting, I'm afraid except for the unlucky white Grim Reaper in Finland, Basically, no sniper will be injured by such an attack.
One bullet after another was poured into his position by the resistance, but Licorice continued to aim and shoot unhurriedly, "Bang~" Another shot hit the soldier who had just carried supplies at the entrance and exit of the settlement, and the bullet accurately penetrated his chest, bursting out of a ball of blood, originally according to the sniper manual, the sniper should quickly change his position after each shot, but now in this situation, so many snipers move their positions together? Are you joking? And there are a lot of enemies, so it's only right to shoot as many enemies as possible when it's advantageous.
Licorice fired another shot, killing a soldier who was attacking here, and then quickly pulled the bolt and loaded it in a group of five bullets, and pulled the bolt again to reload, this rifle is not good, the reload is too slow, and you must use the fastest speed to change the bullet after all five bullets are fired, at this time you can directly load five bullets at a time, but if you still have bullets in the gun, then you can only separate the bullets in a group of five and load them one by one, the efficiency is too low.
After reloading the bullet, Licorice aimed at the target again, and before he could shoot, the target had already fallen to the ground, and was robbed of the head by other snipers, Licorice moved the muzzle of the gun with an unhappy face, re-aimed at another target and fired.
Nearly three minutes after the start of the operation, there was no resistance in the stronghold, and warm corpses were lying on the ground, still bubbling with blood, and the still alive resistance troops were either hiding in the stronghold and no longer daring to shoot back, or had collapsed or fled.
"Boom!" A slight explosion was heard behind Licorice, but it was so loud on the already quiet battlefield that Licorice understood that there was really a bad luck in the fleeing Resistance that had stepped on a mine planted by Wagner.
After the battle, everyone did not leave, but moved their positions to continue to defend the stronghold, snipers must be patient, and there are no other infantry now, so licorice they will not enter the stronghold to confirm their results and check if there are still alive enemies, because that is no different from looking for death, don't look at the twelve snipers here now sniped nearly a hundred enemies, but if they dare to expose themselves and engage the enemy at close range, it is really a small pistol that can put them down.
"Bang!" Seeing a sneaking head out, Licorice shot without hesitation, the bullet hit accurately, the target was cut in the head and then stopped, and then fell, there seemed to be other movements behind the cover where the target fell, but Licorice didn't care about those at all, the shot that took the head, the shot that escaped, the shot that resisted, they have been guarding this stronghold for a day, and there are constantly lucky survivors in the stronghold who think that the sniper has left and come up, and they are killed by name one by one, snipers, very patient. In this battle, counting the follow-up to clean up those fish that slipped through the net, Licorice killed a total of 11 targets, while John only had 8 records, as for the records of other snipers? I'm sorry, I don't know, but no matter what, it's impossible to exceed this number, because of the limitation of the number of enemies, as well as the limitation of the frequency of shooting, Licorice's record in this battle is definitely the top three, and it is only because they are late, the better sniper points have already been occupied by other snipers, they have a better field of vision and a better shooting angle.
