Zhang Heng and the masked snipers on the ground were very patient.
As far as hunters are concerned, the latter is undoubtedly better. Zhang Heng once read in later literature that many Finnish guerrillas in the Winter War were hunters. They hunted in this forest since they were young. They still performed very well in the Soviet military.
Too bad it's not a fair game.
When the crow in the dark appears again, it will be the end of everything.
Zhang Heng put his finger on the trigger and made the final preparations, but the next moment the masked sniper suddenly made a rollover without warning.
Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment. Because he couldn't hear the sound, he thought for a moment that he had been discovered.
But then he saw bullets pouring down the snow.
The masked sniper's reaction was quick. He dodged the first round of attacks with this roll, and then immediately turned the direction of the gun and pulled the trigger.
At this time, another shortcoming of the shadow state is exposed, because the sunlight is obliquely coming from one direction, so the direction of Zhang Heng's shadow is also fixed. Although he can observe the surrounding conditions by printing himself on the tree, but only Those who can see one side, even if he turns his body, can only see the bark on the other side.
So now he can only roughly guess from the situation in front of him that the sound of the exchange of fire just now should have attracted the nearby Soviet soldiers, but he doesn't know how many people there are and how far away they are.
And what's even worse is that his shadow state is about to expire, and there are only less than the last ten seconds left for him.
Zhang Heng couldn't care less about killing the masked sniper for the time being. He had to ensure that he would not be sandwiched by these two groups of people, so he decisively left the birch tree and avoided the masked sniper as quickly as possible. hand, and stuck it to another cedar tree behind the latter.
It's not that Zhang Heng doesn't want to run farther, he still has time left, but he knows very well in his heart that if the Soviets win, he still has the possibility of running away, but if the masked snipers win Then he has no chance of escaping.
Rather than being shot like prey, Zhang Heng chose a place nearby, less than one meter away from the masked sniper.
Being so close can offset the opponent's marksmanship advantage to the greatest extent. Even a novice like Zhang Heng who has just touched a gun has a high probability that he will not miss.
Four seconds later, his body reappeared, but the battle on the other side had already entered a fierce stage.
The rattling sound of bullets fell on the fir tree behind him, and the sawdust splashed. This group of people was obviously much more ferocious than the previous investigation team.
With the strength of the masked sniper, Zhang Heng believed that he would not leave the machine gunner alone. However, there are still machine guns firing, which only shows that when a machine gunner dies on the side of the Soviet soldiers, someone will immediately cover him.
However, the masked sniper also found the cover again at this time, and he only fired back after a while, but every time he fired a shot, he could kill an enemy, and his marksmanship was incredible.
Zhang Heng tried his best to control his breathing, and hid behind a tree without moving, so as not to be discovered by the fighting parties.
After another round of shooting, the firepower of the Soviet soldiers finally weakened until it became more and more sparse, but the shooting rhythm of the masked sniper was terribly stable, and it did not change from the beginning to the end, as if a A killing machine without any emotion.
However, this delicate machine suddenly stuck at a certain moment.
Zhang Heng knew that the other party was out of bullets. This guy had experienced two fierce battles in a short period of time, and he probably had experienced other battles before coming here. He didn't have much supplies on him, so he finally ran out of ammunition at this moment. Food is running out.
This also made Zhang Heng's mood very complicated. Of course, he didn't want such a terrifying sniper wandering in the woods all day long. However, in his original idea, this battle would have two outcomes. If he was shot by those Soviet soldiers, he would run away desperately, trying his luck, or the masked snipers would kill all the Soviet soldiers, and then he would rush out and kill them when they were not prepared.
The only thing he didn't consider was the fact that the opponent's bullets were exhausted first, so those Soviet soldiers would definitely slowly approach this side, and the hiding place he chose was too close to the masked sniper, so it was okay to say during the battle. , both sides can't pay attention to the surroundings, but when the battle is over, or the masked sniper is about to turn around and run away, he will be found.
...
The Finnish guerrilla was leaning against a rock, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He should have realized that he might not be spared today, and drew out the small hunting knife on his waist to prepare for the last fight.
Just then, a small stone rolled to his feet.
Then he saw a Soviet soldier suddenly appearing behind the fir tree not far from him, and he couldn't help but startled. He obviously didn't expect that the enemy had touched his back, and subconsciously wanted to pick up the rifle beside him.
However, the next moment the other party made a silent gesture towards him.
Just half a minute ago, Zhang Heng suddenly realized that this might also be an opportunity for him. After these four days of trying, he already understood that it is impossible to live alone in this forest. Whether the Soviets or the Finns, there is actually no irreconcilable contradiction.
But whether it was the young Soviet machine gunner he met before or the Finnish guerrilla in front of him, these people would never give him the opportunity to explain himself to clarify misunderstandings, and they would draw their guns if they disagreed with each other. Zhang Heng can't even speak the language.
However, now that the guy on the opposite side has run out of bullets, Zhang Heng thinks he can take this opportunity to communicate.
He pointed to the red five stars on his cuff, then pointed to himself, then waved his hand, indicating that he had nothing to do with the Soviets.
As a result, the masked sniper on the opposite side did not respond.
Zhang Heng then took off his Soviet military uniform, revealing the black down jacket and jeans underneath. However, the masked sniper's eyes finally fell on the revolver in his pocket.
Zhang Heng knew that there was not much time left for the two of them. He could already hear the footsteps of the Soviet soldiers. Obviously there was more than one person coming. He couldn't deal with it, so he could only gamble.
While holding the wooden carving again to keep vigilant, Zhang Heng threw the revolver in his pocket to the masked sniper on the opposite side. This time the latter finally reacted, picked up the weapon quickly, and pointed at someone. After a while Finally the muzzle was removed again.
Zhang Heng heaved a sigh of relief, so it seems that his actions just now were not useless at all, and then he took out his mobile phone. These days, he has been trying to save power as much as possible, except for turning it on when he needs to identify the direction. , usually turned off, now set the alarm and throw the phone away.
Three seconds later, the bell rang in the snow, which immediately attracted the firepower of the Soviet soldiers, and the masked sniper took the opportunity to stick out half of his head. Pull the trigger and the first round is blank.
Even if it is an adventure, Zhang Heng will try to reduce the risk as much as possible. Considering the possibility that the other party will give him a shot first after getting the gun, he adjusted the position of the bullet in advance, aiming one of the two shell casings without bullets at the gun. chamber so that if the worst happens, he can use his last chance to become a shadow and escape.
The masked sniper froze for a moment, but soon fired a second shot, this time directly hitting the target's forehead.
