Chapter 44: Night Attack (1)

The two of them lay on the hidden point and continued to wait, and after a while, two teams of about thirty enemies heard the gunfire just now and rushed to come, the reason why they came so slowly, I am afraid it was because of the problem of time, they had just finished fighting with the last defenders of the Great German Division outside, and they immediately moved towards the mountains before they had time to rest, and the vanguard was beaten and there was no time to mobilize many soldiers to come, not to mention that this mountain range is very large, and if the soldiers want to search the mountain with this alone, it will inevitably be very scattered, Even when they heard the gunshots and rushed to help, the rough road greatly slowed down their reaction time, and most importantly, Licorice and John moved fast enough.

The soldiers who rushed to support them scattered in the forest in twos and threes, and a Soviet soldier with a gun scanned the surroundings nervously, just when they were still on the way, the gunfire stopped abruptly, and now they came to support but did not see the movement of friendly troops, this unknown made him feel frightened. Suddenly, he seemed to be strangled by something, fell to the ground in a panic, the gun in his hand fell out, nervously got up, looked back at the tripping of his own things, and suddenly a cold air rushed to the heavenly spirit cover, and shouted loudly to his teammates, the squad leader heard the recruit's shouting and hurriedly ran over to check, but what he saw was that the recruit was looking at the corpse of a friendly soldier in horror, the squad leader stepped forward to check, and before he had time to analyze what was going on, A bullet drilled into his head with a spiral wake, and the sound of gunfire reached his ears at this time, and the word "enemy attack" finally echoed in his mind for the last time, and then he fell to the ground without any sound, and lined up with the previous corpse, and the recruits next to him fled in the direction of the terrified exchange.

In the woods, Licorice repeated again the action that he had repeated thousands of times, pulling the bolt, loading the bullet, aiming, shooting. "Bang!" The fleeing recruit was shot in his vest, and with a splash of blood, he fell to the ground.

"The next target, at ten o'clock on the left, about four hundred meters, the one with a hat and a mustache." John said calmly and softly, licorice directly moved the muzzle of the gun to the left when he heard this, and soon found the target marked by John, a squad leader of the Soviet army, fired without hesitation, and then pulled the bolt again to load, John pointed out the target again, and soon, the four squads of Soviet troops who came here were killed by licorice, and the remaining soldiers were in a mess, completely unaware of what they should do. Licorice and John took advantage of the chaos to shoot the commanderless soldiers, and after a few more deaths, they seemed to understand that they could not handle the enemy, and they began to retreat.

"What do we do now?" John asked after killing the last enemy before he had time to escape.

"What are you waiting for? Runaway! Licorice looked at the forest that had fallen into silence again, blinked and said without hesitation.

The plan can never catch up with the change, licorice didn't expect that it would be so easy to repel the enemy's reinforcements, but the more this is the case, the more enemies will come to search here later, there is no way, it is impossible for two people to fight guerrilla with hundreds of enemies here, just such a little place, it is simply looking for death, so licorice decisively decided to pack up the ammunition, and then followed John to retreat across the minefield. As it turned out, Licorice's premonition was correct, and the two were on their way back to the stronghold after passing through the minefield, when there were constant loud explosions behind them, and it seemed that many enemies had stepped on the mines.

……

In the midst of the constant fighting between the two sides, time passed, the sun rose and the moon set, and a few more days passed.

In the hazy sky, licorice sat in the tent, looking at the rain outside with his hands on his cheeks, feeling very distressed, although licorice likes rainy days very much, but now it is very distressed, because winter is coming, and they snipers do not have any cold protection equipment, they were surrounded in the summer, but now it is close to winter, how can there be anything to protect against the cold, even in autumn, you can only wear two more summer clothes and rely on your own physical fitness to keep out the cold, but now it is not good, how cold is the winter here, licorice knows it. A cold wind blew and blew into the tent, licorice cold whole body trembled, quickly tightened the entrance of the tent, licorice hugging his shoulders curled up into a ball, before winter, the temperature has begun to drop sharply, especially in today's rainy days, wet and cold is the most fatal.

"Huh~~~Huh~~" The tent mouth was suddenly opened, a cold wind blew, licorice felt even colder, and John got in with two cups of steaming coffee.

"We have to find a way as soon as possible, a group of people have just returned, but because of the previous mission in the rain, now they have some colds and fevers, I am not sure if they will have a fever or even die if they do not get enough warmth, after all, we are very short of medicines." John said with a worried expression.

Licorice took a cup of coffee and tossed a dry towel to John, who had just come in the rain.

"We're going to rob the enemy? But we don't have any ability to fight in close combat, and now they are very guarded, and we have recently carried out a large number of attacks on their men, and they are so frightened that it is impossible for us to get closer, and even if we kill those enemies from a distance, we will not be able to get their supplies. Licorice said helplessly after taking two sips of hot coffee, drinking some hot food, licorice felt much warmer.

"With the current weather, it is unlikely that they will be able to repair this road dozens of kilometers long in the near future, but the question has become how to survive." John said.

"Didn't we find a cave before and leave some supplies there? Divert all those injuries and illnesses, and then let's take a risk and sneak up on one of the enemy's strongholds and grab some stuff to come back. Licorice said distressedly.

"We have a few experienced old hunters here, we can get them involved, let's find out the enemy's situation first, but if it doesn't work, we can all move back to the stronghold in the cave, which is big enough for us to live for a while." John suggested.

"Okay, but we have to hurry up, it's still raining today, and God knows if it will snow tomorrow." Licorice nodded.

……

The night was hazy, all was silent, the rain was still falling, and only the sound of the rain was left in the vast night. Under the misty moonlight, Licorice and fifteen snipers, including John, shuttled through the forest with ease, occasionally stepping on the mud and puddles with one foot deep and one shallow, splashing a piece of muddy water, and a flash of lightning flashed in the sky, illuminating Licorice's completely drenched figure.

"Boom~~" A thunderous explosion sounded.

"After our exploration, the Soviet troops who built the road were camped in the forest, after all, it was already some distance from the outside, and they couldn't waste a lot of time every day on transporting people, but their camps were very close, and we couldn't make any noise when we started, nor could we cause any movement, otherwise once they sounded the alarm, even if we could escape at night, there could be no second chance, either we died in battle, or we were frozen to death in the mountains was our only ending." Licorice paused and said to the other snipers behind him.

"Speaking of the mission, we are all well aware of the importance of this operation." A middle-aged sniper with a little stubble said lightly.

Licorice heard the words and gestured directly to John, John nodded to show understanding, and then said: "After our reconnaissance, there are two peripheral camps here that are more prominent, which is a good entry point, we chose one of them as the target this time, according to the plan discussed before, Linus and I are responsible for giving you long-range sniper support, a few of you are better, try to kill those sentries with daggers at close range, and then find the place where the Soviet army reserves supplies in this camp, and transport them out as much as possible, overcoat, Medicine, food, fuel, we all need it, and others will help you get it out. John whispered.

"No problem, just come as agreed." Another sniper said that they were both experienced hunters or snipers with experience in stealth operations.

"We're fine, but you'll have to kill the sentries on the sentry tower first." The other snipers nodded.

"Okay, since everyone has no objections, then the battle begins, everyone is in place, and you can do it after we kill the sentry." Licorice nodded.

Then everyone dispersed, Licorice and John quietly touched a sniper point, re-erected the 98K rifle, for this operation, Licorice specially asked other snipers for some 7.92mm bullets, after all, this is the most convenient gun they use, the Soviet Army's Mosin rifle still feels very uncomfortable to use, especially the sights.

"John, listen to my order to shoot in a moment, you know which one to shoot?" Licorice said softly.

"Hmm." John nodded in response.
