Chapter 8 Section 8

That was the last year of the war, and also the third year that our 12th Reconnaissance Brigade was on the front line.The war is almost over, but the reconnaissance and harassment operations of both sides are still going on, and cold gun combat is something that the armies of the two eastern nations are very good at.As a backbone sniper on the Western Front, I have become a nail in the eyes of the enemy... "Xiao Yan! Xiao Yan!" The brigade staff officer Lei Keming got into the tent, still holding something in his hand. "arrive!" Yan Lin, who was sleepy, woke up all of a sudden, got up and stood up: "Commander Lei, do you have a mission?!"

The observer next to him also got up, and both of them returned to the station at almost noon. Yan Lin handed him a bunch of leaflets: "This is from the intelligence department. The enemy has sent leaflets to our position." "Leaflet?" Yan Lin still didn't understand, "What is it?" "See for yourself." Yan Lin was taken aback when he brought it over. On the flyer was a standard photo of himself in military uniform, which was on the soldier's card.The Vietnamese language next to it, he took a closer look: "Damn it! Is my head so valuable?"

"That's right, the enemy has spent a lot of money this time! Your head is worth 200,000 yuan!" Lei Keming laughed, "Chen Yong was not happy just now, but now you are worth the same as him!" Yan Lin smiled: "Squad leader is worth more than me..." "You don't know, last week you killed a deputy chief of staff of the enemy's military region, a general!" Lei Keming said, "I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would be proud. I didn't expect that this time the enemy's Ministry of Defense would be involved. They I've spent all my money to get you!"

"That's it?" Yan Lin said, "Consultant Lei, I have no mission and I'm going to sleep, I'm so sleepy..." "There is information, you need to know." Lei Keming became serious, "Our intelligence department got it, very conclusive information!" Yan Lin also became serious: "Is there any important person coming to the front line for inspection?" "A second lieutenant." Yan Lin smiled wryly: "Staff Lei, a second lieutenant, why are you, the deputy battalion cadre, so nervous?" "He is a second lieutenant who studied in the Soviet Special Forces, Ruan Wenxiong." Lei Keming handed him the folder, "Just transferred back from the battlefield in Afghanistan, for you - he is also a sniper. This is our intelligence department Take a closer look at the information you have obtained.”

Yan Lin opened the folder and looked at his photos.It is Nguyen Van Hung in the khaki uniform of the Soviet Special Forces. He is very young, holding an SVD sniper rifle. The background is the mountains of Afghanistan. "Don't underestimate him. He has a great reputation in the Soviet Special Forces." Lei Keming added, "He joined the army at the age of thirteen, and his marksmanship is outstanding. He was sent to the Soviet Alpha Special Forces as an excellent backbone to study. His grades He is no worse than you, and has more than 100 victories—cunning and cruel, call him a scorpion."

Yan Lin flipped through the files: "It's all in Russian?" "It was just sent by the intelligence department, and the front finger is organizing the translation." Lei Keming said, "Xiao Yan, you have really met an opponent - treat it well!" Yan Lin looked at the photo, Ruan Wenxiong in the photo was as young as him, but full of arrogance. The reconnaissance brigade has raised its vigilance. Yan Lin is a combat hero with outstanding military exploits. If something happens, his face will really be ugly.In addition, Yan Lin's sniper mission was also compressed, and Yan Lin's sniper mission was also reduced, which made him stop fighting early in disguise.Yan Lin stays at the station every day, feeling extremely depressed.But an order is an order, and he can only stay without an order.Later, the order came, but instead of performing a sniper mission, he joined the hero model report group.Yan Lin was discouraged all of a sudden, and sat on the bed in a daze.

Originally, Yan Lin thought that this time he really left the war.Pack your bags and prepare to go to the report group.The battle is still going on, but I am going to join the report group, as if I am afraid of that "scorpion".This made Yan Lin very unconvinced, but he had to obey the order.In the early morning of the next day, when he was about to get into the car, a new order came again. This time it was the former deputy chief of staff who came to announce the order, Yan Lin suddenly became nervous.He walked into the tent of the Brigade Headquarters. The deputy chief of staff was wearing the 85 military uniform without epaulets and a liberation cap with a military badge on it. He looked at him with piercing eyes: "You are Yan Lin?"

"Yes, Chief." Yan Lin said. "You are quite famous!" The deputy chief of staff smiled wryly, "This time, the enemy seems to have to force you out! And we can only send you up!" Yan Lin didn't understand. He Zhijun opened a bunch of documents and put them in front of him: "Look for yourself." Yan Lin saw that they were all photos of officers and soldiers of our army who were killed by snipers. "In just five days, seventeen of our officers and soldiers were killed by the same sniper." The deputy chief of staff said, "The highest rank among them was the deputy head of the infantry regiment, and the youngest was a 10-year-old Seven-year-old warrior. 'Scorpion' is sniping like crazy, he's forcing you out."

Yan Lin put down the photo and looked up at He Zhijun. "Are you sure?" He Zhijun asked. Yan Lin bit his lip: "I'll do it!" That night, Yan Lin and observer Xiao Zhou carefully analyzed the combat map and sand table, analyzed all the sniping cases of "Scorpion", and looked for his sniper habits and sniper position settings.When it was already daylight after work, Yan Lin realized that he had encountered a strong opponent. There were three cases of sniping, and he was unable to determine the location of the sniper. Although he had several considerations, but... he could not determine the position of the enemy sniper. This is What a terrible thing?

The next day, the two of them slept through the day.When it was dark, they got up and started to prepare to go.After changing into camouflage uniforms, sniper rifles and submachine guns were wrapped in sacks, and then densely packed with branches and leaves to check whether it was convenient to shoot and change magazines.Facing the mirror, I painted the camouflage oil one by one, and then began to put on the camouflage clothes I made - the camouflage clothes cut from the camouflage net of the 212 command vehicle. The comrades helped them insert dense branches and leaves, and the whole became Two bushmen.

Then he boarded the car and set off. Yan Lin said goodbye to his comrades with a smile: "Wait for my good news!" In fact, he didn't have much confidence to tell the truth in his heart. them.Yan Lin still smiled, and went away in the big-ass jeep. Then I started to climb the mountain, and set up a sniper position at the location I found in advance.In the middle of the night, Yan Lin's movements were extra cautious.He set up this position according to his understanding of the "Scorpion"'s activity rules. Normally, he would not set up this position, but snipers understand the opponent's thinking, so he must set up in a place that he can't even think of. The location where he and Xiao Zhou were lurking was on the mountainside of a gravel hill, where bushes grew intermittently.The two of them lurked among the gravel, this lurking was uncomfortable because there were stones under their bodies.But Yan Lin must lurk here, because it is uncomfortable here, so the sniper will not lurk for a long time-so, "Scorpion" never thought that he would lurk here. Let's see who can spot who first, because they are all top sharpshooters. Yan Lin leaned on the scope of the sniper rifle and began a long wait. At dawn, birdsong began to sing in the border area.From Yan Lin's position, there is an open jungle in front of him.He divided his front into a grid, and began to let Xiao Zhou get rid of them one by one, maintaining the posture of shooting at any time.But Xiao Zhou didn't find the target, and Yan Lin became even more nervous.He began to search grid by grid by himself, searching very slowly, hoping to find traces. His scope slowly slid across a patch of weeds 1000 meters away, and suddenly, he moved back! In an instant, the blood in his whole body froze! The opponent's sniper rifle is also pointing at him! Ruan Wenxiong also just discovered Yan Lin, and the two of them just like this, gunpoint to gunpoint, separated by 1000 meters. It was deadly quiet, only the sound of the wind. Yan Lin breathed steadily and aimed at Ruan Wenxiong. Ruan Wenxiong also breathed steadily and aimed at Yan Lin. The two of them stood in a stalemate like this, neither of them dared to move. Yan Lin's nose started to sweat, this was the first time he felt the threat of death. Ruan Wenxiong is not much different from his situation. The two sides were in a stalemate like this, and no one moved until it was dark... In the 1980s, the armies of both sides were not equipped with individual night vision devices, so darkness meant the end of long-range sniper operations. Yan Lin took Xiao Zhou to evacuate the sniper position, and the other party obviously evacuated as well, because there was no bad news of the sniper killing our army's target the next day. And the war is over soon...
