Chapter 213 Attempt (Part 2)
After eating breakfast, Qin Chuan chose to go to the toilet to empty his intestines. Then other soldiers followed suit, so the toilet was suddenly overcrowded.
Erwin complained: "You don't have to be so civilized. There are no toilets on the battlefield, and there isn't so much time for you to waste. You should get used to solving it on the spot!"
So the soldiers really found a place to squat down.
But because it was dark, their excrement was everywhere, and soon someone stepped on it...
"Damn it!" Someone cursed in the darkness: "You should at least dig a hole!"
"Do you know that this is a whole day of lurking? I have to lie there with this smell all day long, and I have to wait for the sun to slowly dry it... I will be smoked to death without the enemy shooting!"
…
"Get ready!" Erwin looked at his watch with a flashlight, and then ordered: "Start!"
The soldiers carried their guns and ducked towards the "Shooting Garden".
The soldiers acted very professionally. They knew that they could not act in groups at this time, so they dispersed and acted alone after entering the "Shooting Garden" gate.
Qinchuan chose to take a detour to the west because there was a field of sun-brown weeds that were perfect for camouflage.
When Qin Chuan made a disguise and rushed to the sand with a rifle, the sky was already dim, but this did not affect Qin Chuan's ability to sneak into the position, because people's vision is often the weakest when it is about to get dark. .
The sandy land is very wide, two miles wide and three miles long. It simulates the battlefield of attacking the enemy's defense line in the desert terrain.
Qin Chuan found a place to lie down, about 600 meters away from the defense line. After thinking about it, he climbed forward another 200 meters...
Six hundred meters may not be a problem for a sniper rifle with a sniper scope, but the "cold gun cold gun" campaign is aimed at ordinary soldiers. They use rifles without sniper scopes, so they must be closer.
Erwin followed from behind, holding up a loudspeaker and shouting as he walked in the "desert": "Your mission is not to shoot an important target, but all enemies. Pay attention, it's anything you can see." Enemies! Of course, when you think it’s safe!”
This is different from ordinary sniping.
The "cold gun and cold gun" movement uses sniping to form a large-scale battle to achieve the purpose of compressing the enemy's living space, destroying the enemy's morale, and consuming the enemy's ammunition. And it should be said...it is rare to encounter valuable snipers on the front line. The target, especially the opponent, is the British army, and middle- and senior-level British officers rarely go to the front line for inspections.
The sky gradually became brighter, and the "British Defense Line" became more and more obvious. Barbed wire, bunkers, and trenches appeared in Qinchuan's field of vision, as well as wooden men wearing British military uniforms and saucer-shaped helmets... That was El Wen Renren arranged it last night.
Then there were two "bang bangs" and someone fired.
Qin Chuan couldn't help but frown... Firing at this time was tantamount to seeking death. At this time, the temperature had just risen from zero. Due to the cold and water vapor, the green smoke coming out of the muzzle would be very conspicuous.
Sure enough, I heard Erwin shout: "Two idiots who fired, congratulations, you are dead... Moreover, you also killed your nearby comrades, who were implicated because they were bombarded by British artillery!" "
Five soldiers stood up in annoyance. This may be a relief, because they did not need to face the suffering of being burned in the sun. But German soldiers value their own honor more, and quitting training so early makes them feel like a shame.
Soon, two more people were called out by Erwin because of their disguise.
"I always thought the ostrich was the stupidest animal!" Erwin said: "Because it always buries its head in the sand when it encounters danger, thinking that it can avoid the enemy... But now I discovered that, It turns out it’s not the stupidest thing, because you exposed your butts to the enemy’s gunpoint!”
This can't be blamed on the soldiers. Although they are elites from the two armored divisions, most of them are artillerymen, tank crews, etc. Latent sniping is not their strong point, and they have not received much sniper training.
But this is exactly what Qin Chuan hopes, because this training is mostly aimed at ordinary soldiers who have not received sniper training.
The sun slowly rose into the sky, and the temperature soon followed.
At this time several more people were called out.
"Your sniper scope betrayed you!" Erwin shouted: "Next time you choose a sniper position, remember not to point the rifle in the direction of the sun!"
This situation made Qin Chuan a little frustrated. In less than an hour, almost half of the 60-man team was eliminated.
Although this is because the soldiers have not received relevant training, it also illustrates the danger and difficulty of this kind of latent sniping.
The situation will be better next, because most of the remaining thirty or so people have considerable camouflage experience, and some of them are also professional snipers.
Then from time to time, I heard "bang" and "bang" gunshots.
Qin Chuan also fired two bullets. He took advantage of the wind and fired the bullets. The wind and sand would blow away the smoke from the muzzle in the shortest time. At the same time, Qin Chuan also raised the rifle slightly when shooting, so that This can try to avoid the dust under the barrel being kicked up by the bullet when it is fired at high speed.
At this time Erwin shouted again: "I found you, the one hiding in the sand and shooting!"
But when the soldier stood up, Erwin said again: "You were fooled, soldier, I didn't notice you!"
"This is unfair!" the soldier protested.
"There is nothing unfair!" Erwin replied: "When you shoot, will the enemy be wooden men like now?"
After a pause, he continued: "No, they won't... They will fight back with firepower, such as using machine guns to shoot in the direction of the gunfire, and shout the same words I just said to you. If you think you are discovered and stand up and run, then you will die!"
What Erwin said is reasonable, and the soldier can only retreat silently.
The temperature is getting higher and higher, and the sun shining on the back is like an iron roasting the skin and flesh. This is the most difficult part... To persist in such sunshine and temperature, and still not move.
Qin Chuan, who was thirsty, wanted to drink water, but found that he couldn't drink it.
Although the water bottle, food and ammunition were all within reach... This is common sense in lurking. If the hand pot is still hanging on the waist and the ammunition is still in the ammunition bag, then you will be killed by the enemy before you take them out.
But even so, drinking water from the kettle would still expose the target.
This made Qin Chuan almost want to give up, because he couldn't hold on without drinking water.
