Deserter from War

Chapter 61: Plans don't change as fast as they should

Views:

There is a valley, a good location, with sunshine and good light, but unfortunately there is wind, which will increase the difficulty. Hu Yi's shooting skills are not particularly outstanding, but they are also excellent. He lies in a hidden position at the corner of the valley, sets up the Type 38 rifle, and the bullets are already loaded, quietly aiming at the open valley bottom. This is not a big problem. As long as the leading dog appears, shoot the beast from a distance, and then turn around and run around the corner to evacuate, the trouble will disappear.

A man in front was leading a dog, and behind him, there were twenty or thirty people lined up in a row and they had already appeared in the field of vision.

The distance was more than 400 meters and the target was too vague. Hu Yi felt that he had no ability to hit anything at this distance. He was not anxious or impatient, but calmed down and continued to wait.

At a distance of more than 300 meters, the target could be identified. However, Hu Yi realized at this time that he had overlooked a detail. He should not shoot a dog with the same calculation method as shooting a human. Because the body of a dog is smaller than that of a human, it is only about one-third of the area of a human target. If shooting at this distance, Hu Yi felt that he could only rely on luck. He might be able to hit the target by chance, but strictly speaking, he had no chance. Helplessly, he continued to aim and put the target closer.

At a distance of more than 200 meters, the target began to become clear. Hu Yi felt that there was a great chance that he could hit the man with the dog. However, it was still far-fetched to hit the dog. If the wind was affected, there was little hope. Hu Yi couldn't help but blame himself. He had been carrying a gun for so many years and always reminded others to pay attention to details. But today it was his turn to be negligent. Dogs are much smaller than people. How could he ignore such a simple problem? If he had known this earlier, he should have chosen a high position to shoot. If he missed the first shot, he might have had a chance to shoot the second and third shots instead of waiting here. It's too late to say anything now, so let's get closer.

At a distance of more than 100 meters, the target was swaying leisurely in the crosshairs, but a new problem arose. Hu Yi could predict the movements of a person, but it was difficult to predict the movements of a dog. The dog sometimes trotted a few steps, sometimes stopped suddenly, sometimes lowered its head to the left to smell, and sometimes raised its head to the right to prick up its ears. It was difficult to catch a stable shooting window. At this distance, if there was an exchange of fire, the opponent's pistol would already pose a threat to him. He originally thought that he could evacuate safely after shooting the dog, but now it seems that this is not necessarily the case. Hu Yi became ruthless in his heart. Since it has come to this, he must kill with one shot. I will let you get closer, but I will kill you with one shot no matter what!

More than fifty meters away, the dog was trotting. Hu Yi held his breath, and a firmness finally flashed in his narrow eyes. He stopped hesitating and stopped considering all the problems. At this distance, even the influence of the wind could be ignored. His right index finger finally reached the bottom.

Boom!

As the gunshot went off, Hu Yi sighed. His anxious state of mind made him overlook another detail. Dogs not only have a keen sense of smell, but also a sense of hearing that humans cannot match. As the distance got closer, just before Hu Yi pulled the trigger, the dog suddenly stopped, raised its ears and looked directly at Hu Yi's hiding place. It had discovered Hu Yi. Its instinctive quick stop allowed it to luckily escape. A Type 65 bullet grazed the dog's neck, took away a few strands of fur, and then pierced the leg of someone behind it.

The people on the path immediately scattered and lay down to find cover nearby. An unlucky guy lay on the ground hugging his legs and crying, while the dog suddenly bared its fangs and prepared to rush towards Hu Yi.

Hu Yi looked straight at the lucky beast and quickly pulled the bolt to load the second bullet. I must kill you. It would be better if you rush over to me, let's see which is stronger, your dog mouth or my bayonet.

Suddenly, a whistle came from behind the nearby rock, calming the dog down. It was the trainer's call, and the dog followed the sound and scurried behind the rock. Just as he was about to shoot it for the second time, the target disappeared behind a rock 50 meters away, which made Hu Yi extremely angry. He glared and lost his temper.

The plainclothes team that found the bunker immediately started to draw their guns and fire back. Without even poking their heads out, they stretched out their guns and pointed them roughly at Hu Yi's position, firing without thinking. Although there was no threat of accuracy, the crackling of twenty or thirty guns together formed a firepower coverage that directly suppressed Hu Yi and made him unable to raise his head.

Hu Yi was helpless. His plan had failed completely. He would be a fool to stay there any longer. He took out two grenades from his bag, pulled the safety pin, knocked them on the ground in front of him, and then threw them out. He wanted to throw the grenades towards the rock as much as possible, maybe hitting the beast. Unfortunately, he was lying on his stomach and could not exert much strength. He did not risk sticking his head out into the rain of bullets, let alone throwing them with accuracy. The two grenades rolled down to irrelevant locations thirty or forty meters away one after another. Boom boom - as two explosions rang out, Hu Yi's figure quickly disappeared around the corner and he ran away.

Suddenly, a gunshot was heard from the back, followed by a chorus of gunfire. After a moment, two explosions were heard and then silence returned. Su Qing and others who were walking in a mountain stream stopped and looked back at the way they came, at a loss.

Xiao Hongying immediately ran to Ma Liang, raised her little face and asked coldly: "Didn't you say the fox went to poop? Why did it shoot a gun at the back? It must be a fox! Why did you lie to me?"

Ma Liang had no choice but to keep silent with a bitter face. He couldn't explain the situation clearly.

"I want to go back to help the fox!" Xiao Hongying said this and turned around and prepared to run back without caring about anyone else, but was grabbed by Su Qing.

"Girl, stop messing around!"

"I don't care! I want to go back to find the fox." Xiao Hongying struggled hard, trying to get rid of Su Qing's pull.

The little girl was about to make trouble again. Su Qing made his expression serious again and tried to calm the child down: "Now I order you to stop making trouble! Otherwise, I will cancel your qualification as a soldier when you return to the independent regiment in the future! If you still want to be a soldier of the Eighth Route Army, you must obey orders!"

Luo Fugui also came over to help: "Why are you so ignorant, little girl? What time is it now? Didn't you hear the gunshots and explosions? Why don't you leave quickly? If you waste any more time, you might even lose your life!"

Xiao Hongying didn't buy it at all: "Whether I am a warrior or not is not up to you! The fox's opinion counts! I will go back alone to help the fox! Don't bother me!"

Ma Liang stepped forward and said to Su Qing, "Secretary Su, how about this? I'll go back and check the situation, and you guys keep going. I'll catch up with you soon."

Su Qing was upset by this sudden trouble. She pulled the struggling Xiao Hongying with one hand, hesitating whether to accept Ma Liang's suggestion. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Liu Jianqiang, who was far ahead, running back.

Liu Jianqiang ran to Su Qing and stood in front of her. He scratched the back of his head awkwardly and said something that no one expected: "Secretary Su, let's go back!"

Su Qing was stunned. Liu Jianqiang had been obedient to her decisions along the way, so why would he agree to turn back at this time

Ma Liang and Luo Fugui looked at each other and thought that this Runny Nose was really very conscious. He didn't bear a grudge even after being beaten up by Hu Yi. He even repaid the grudge with kindness at the critical moment. It seems that they really need to change their opinion of him in the future.

Then Liu Jianqiang added: "The road ahead is blocked, it's a dead end!"
