BXBX NOVEL Chapter 308: sniper
At this time, the front of the 333rd Regiment is a bit strange. Its trench is roughly a horseshoe shape surrounded by a tank bunker as a support point, that is, an encirclement circle is formed around the junction. 8 to 10 tanks were arranged in each direction... 8 on the wings and 10 on the front, so that the front was obviously wider, defending a width of about a kilometer.
The reason for this arrangement is to open the pocket a little wider to attract more German troops into the encirclement.
The rest of the tanks are used as a reserve team. They are hidden in tank bunkers like other tanks... This kind of tank bunker cannot be lazy. It is necessary to dig down the frozen soil below, and even build a Yes, the tank can shoot one step forward and take a step back to hide in the ladder bunker of the trench.
After finishing all this, put a layer of canvas on top of the tank bunker. Even the infantry may not be able to find anything, let alone the German pilots flying through the sky at high speed.
"The Germans didn't notice our deployment, did they?" The instructor poked his head out and looked out, but was pulled back by Shulka.
"Beware of snipers!" Shulka said: "When we attacked just now, we found German snipers lurking in the snow, and we lost a few people because of it!"
"Yes, Comrade Instructor!" The veteran said: "Frantz (referring to the Germans) has received professional sniper training, and they can easily send bullets into the target from hundreds of meters away!"
"Besides, what can you see?" Shulka said: "If you stick your head out, can you see whether the Germans have discovered our deployment?"
The instructor touched the military cap in embarrassment, and replied: "That's just a habitual action, Comrade Shulka! Thank you for reminding me!"
At this time, there was a "bang" gunshot, and then there was a scream from the trench. Not far away, a Soviet soldier grabbed his **** right hand... that right hand had already had several fingers knocked off from the base of the palm .
That is the fighter of the 1073 regiment. The horseshoe-shaped defense line of the 333 regiment is located at the junction, that is, it coincides with the defense lines of the two regiments. Shulka's third company is located at the junction with the 1073 regiment.
"You are right, Comrade Shulka!" The instructor withdrew his gaze with lingering fear: "They do have snipers outside!"
Shulka just smiled. The instructor who is not experienced in combat is completely unaware that it is not easy to be hit by the enemy on the battlefield, especially in the trenches, to knock off a few fingers... because the hands always Under the head, and the area of the head is much larger than the hands.
In other words, if you can hit the hand, it is much easier to aim for the head.
There is only one possibility for this phenomenon to occur: the soldier deliberately stretched out his hand to be "hit" by the enemy, so that he can become a wounded person and no longer need to fight.
This is a very effective way to evade responsibility, because it is harder or even undetectable than other methods such as self-harm.
Shulka did not point out.
This was not a big deal at first, and Shulka knew that the soldier must have been frightened by the situation in front of him... The German army was several times larger than the Soviet army, and there were a large number of tanks, and they also had air supremacy.
On the other hand, the previous battle was very fierce. They used infantry to blow up the German tanks with explosives and grenades. This can be seen from the remains of German tanks in front of and behind the trenches. Come out, which means that the German tanks have crossed the Soviet trenches.
Therefore, it is inevitable that some soldiers will shrink back in this situation. They choose to "sacrifice" their right hand in exchange for their lives.
But Shulka knows that if this situation is not stopped, more people will choose to do so, which will affect the morale of the entire army.
After thinking about it, Shulka took off his hat and tore off the five-pointed star on the hat under the suspicious eyes of the instructor. After putting the hat on his head, he turned the white cloak cap up to cover the military cap...then carefully picked up the gun Slowly stick your head out.
Shuerka didn’t change his position, because at any point on the trench, someone might be noticed by the enemy. It didn’t make much sense to change his position for the first time, it was just a kind of psychological comfort for himself.
The battlefield is completely white, blood and corpses have been covered by snowflakes falling from the sky. At a glance, even the wreckage of the tank has become a part of nature and integrated with the surroundings, not to mention the carefully hidden German snipers. .
Shuerka just waited, motionless, staring at the battlefield ahead through the front sight, and estimated the general direction of the gunshot just now.
At this moment, there was a "bang", the gunfire rang out again, and there was another scream in the trench.
Obviously, it was another one who reached out to "intentionally hurt".
Shulka believed that the German sniper was knowing the Soviet soldiers' intentions and cooperated to "help"... Of course, his purpose was not to break a soldier's finger, but also to use it to achieve a psychological warfare effect against the Soviet Union. Army morale.
Simply put, if the Soviet soldiers stretched out their hands and the Germans ignored them, then there would not be many Soviet soldiers reaching out, and of course no one would want to desert in this way.
However, if the German snipers "responsive" to the Soviet soldiers, then this method of desertion will soon spread and even affect the entire army.
As Shulka said before, this will undoubtedly be a blow to the morale of the Soviet army.
But the German sniper will soon regret this shot, because Shulka has already seen the blue smoke coming out of his gun, even though the blue smoke is not obvious against the snow-white background, and soon Just blown away by the cold wind.
If Shulka was not prepared to look in other directions, he might not be able to find him at this time.
But this is not the case, Shulka has found his big position before and waited.
So, after a flash of blue smoke, Shulka immediately knew his exact location.
Muzzle, Mauser length, angles...
Shuerka aimed the sight at a distance of about one meter behind Qingyan, and then pulled the trigger.
There was a "bang", and a scream came from the opposite side.
Shulka hit him, but he didn't hit the point, which is very difficult to hit in this situation, because the white snow doesn't know where the person is.
But this was no longer a problem soon. The injured German sniper couldn't help but move because of the severe pain. This movement completely exposed himself, so Shulka immediately fired another bullet.
