Zhang Heng and the masked sniper 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 have been hunting in this forest since they were young. When the target changes from beasts to beasts, They still performed well as Soviet soldiers.
Unfortunately this is not a fair game.
When that crow appears again in the darkness, it's the end of everything.
Zhang Heng put his finger on the trigger and made 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 raining down on the snow.
The masked sniper reacted quickly. He rolled to avoid the first round of attacks, then immediately turned the gun's direction and pulled the trigger.
At this time, another shortcoming of the shadow state is exposed. Because the sunlight is slanting from one direction, the direction of Zhang Heng's shadow is also fixed. Although he can observe the surrounding situation by imprinting himself on the tree, he can only observe the surrounding situation by imprinting himself on the tree. He could see one side, but even if he turned his body, he could only see the bark on the other side.
Therefore, he could only roughly guess from the situation in front of him that the sound of the exchange of fire had attracted the nearby Soviet soldiers, but he did not know how many there were on the other side and how far away they were.
What's even more deceiving is that his shadow state is about to expire, leaving him less than ten seconds.
Zhang Heng couldn't care less about killing the masked sniper for the time being. He had to ensure that he wouldn't be sandwiched by these two waves of people first, so he left the birch tree decisively and avoided the masked sniper as quickly as possible. His hand was placed on another fir tree behind the latter.
It's not that Zhang Heng doesn't want to run further, he still has time left, but he is very clear in his heart that if the Soviets win, he may still run away, but if the masked sniper wins Then he had no chance of escaping.
Rather than being shot like prey, it was better to fight, so Zhang Heng chose a nearby place, less than one meter away from the masked sniper.
Being so close can offset the opponent's advantage in marksmanship to the maximum extent. Even a novice like Zhang Heng who has just touched the gun has a high probability of not missing the target.
His body reappeared four seconds later, but the battle on the other side had already entered a fierce stage.
The bullets hit the cedar tree behind him, and sawdust flew. This group of people was obviously much more fierce than the previous reconnaissance 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 shooting, which only means that if a machine gunner on the Soviet soldier's side dies, someone will immediately take over.
However, the masked sniper also found the bunker again at this time. He only fired back after a while, but every time he fired, he could kill an enemy. His marksmanship was incredible.
Zhang Heng tried his best to control his breathing and hid behind the tree motionless to avoid being discovered by the warring 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 snipers was terrifyingly stable, and it did not change from beginning to end, as if it were a continuous attack. A killing machine without any emotion.
However, this sophisticated machine suddenly got stuck at a certain moment.
Zhang Heng knew that the opponent was out of ammunition. This guy had experienced two fierce battles in a short period of time. He had probably experienced other battles before coming here. He didn't have much supplies in the first place, so he finally ran out of ammunition. Food is out.
This also made Zhang Heng's mood very complicated. Of course he didn't want such a terrifying sniper to wander in the woods all day long. However, in his original vision, this battle would have two outcomes, either a masked sniper. If his hand is shot by those Soviet soldiers, he will run away desperately and try his luck, or a masked sniper will kill all those Soviet soldiers, and then he will suddenly rush out and kill the opponent while they are not prepared.
The only thing he didn't consider was that the opponent's bullets would be used up first. In this way, the Soviet soldiers would definitely slowly approach here, and the hiding spot he chose was too close to the masked sniper, so it would be okay during the battle. , neither side paid attention to their surroundings, but he would be discovered when the battle ended, or when the masked sniper was about to turn around and escape.
…………
The Finnish guerrilla was leaning against a rock now. He didn't know what he was thinking. He must have realized that he might not be able to survive today. He took out the small hunting knife from his waist and prepared for a last ditch effort.
Just then, a pebble rolled to his feet.
Then he saw a Soviet soldier suddenly appear from behind the cedar tree not far from him. He was startled. Apparently he didn't expect that the enemy had touched behind him, and he 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 four days of trying, he had understood that it was impossible to live alone in this forest. After all, he and Neither the Soviets nor the Finns actually have any irreconcilable conflicts.
But whether it was the young Soviet machine gunner he met before or the Finnish guerrillas in front of him now, these people would never give him a chance to explain themselves and clarify the misunderstanding. They would draw their guns if they disagreed with each other, but these two countries Zhang Heng doesn’t know the language.
However, now that the guy opposite was out of bullets, Zhang Heng thought he could take this opportunity to communicate.
He pointed to the red five-star on his sleeve, then to himself, and then waved his hand to indicate that he had nothing to do with the Soviets.
As a result, the masked sniper on the opposite side had no reaction.
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. It was obvious that there was more than one person coming. He couldn't deal with them, so he had to take a gamble.
Zhang Heng held the wood carving again to stay alert, and threw the revolver in his pocket to the masked sniper on the opposite side. This time, the latter finally reacted, quickly picked up the weapon, and pointed it at someone. After a moment, Finally he removed the muzzle of the gun.
Zhang Heng breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his actions just now were not useless at all. Then he took out his mobile phone. These days, he was trying to save power as much as possible, except when he needed to identify the direction, he turned it on. , usually turned off, now set the alarm and throw the phone away.
Three seconds later, the bell rang in the snow, immediately attracting the firepower of the Soviet soldiers, and the masked sniper took the opportunity to poke half of his head out. Pull the trigger and the first shot is a blank.
Even if he takes a risk, Zhang Heng will try to reduce the risk. Considering the possibility that the other party will shoot him first after getting the gun, he adjusts the position of the bullet in advance and aims one of the two bullet casings without a warhead at the gun. so that if the worst happens, he can use his last chance to become a shadow to escape.
The masked sniper was stunned for a moment, but soon fired a second shot, this time hitting the target directly between the eyebrows.
