Chapter 14 Chapter 10 Sniping from Tiger's Mouth

It is already the eighth day.In the past week, Mengzi and Mu Liangfeng were not idle, and spent most of their time training. Head Zhang didn't let them snipe the fortifications in the rehearsal team, which was taken extra care. On the eighth day, the large troops began to retreat. With the order of the chief of the Ninth War Zone, more than 100,000 national troops retreated to a place less than 100 kilometers away from the provincial capital, preparing to build a second line of defense. Fight against the Japanese army.The soldiers of the national army rushed back in a huge crowd, crowding the entire mountain road. Cars, military horses, and tanks were constantly flowing on the road, and the scene was chaotic.

The division where the 204th Regiment was located and several other fraternal troops stayed put and pulled up a defense line of tens of kilometers, where they wanted to welcome the arrival of the Japanese army with guns. Just after breakfast on the battlefield, Commander Zhang mobilized before the formation: "Brothers, the vanguard of the Japanese army will arrive here at around 2 pm at the latest, and their troops have already fought our brother troops in front. It's been more than ten days, and it's a long journey again, which belongs to the long-distance labor, we are recharging our energy and waiting for work, everyone, give me some energy, and beat the little devil hard, understand?"

"Understood!" "Those who are greedy for life and fear of death and fleeing in battle are a disgrace to soldiers. Anyone who commits the above two crimes will be executed on the spot. Do you understand?" "Understood!" The voices of the whole regiment roared, swallowing mountains and rivers with anger. After the training, Commander Zhang brought Li Tianyou, the guard platoon leader, to the sniper platoon. He looked at the group of young men who were about to become the enemy's nightmare. Without saying anything, he dropped two cigarettes and hurried to the battle line.

Li Tianyou hesitated to speak, and followed Captain Zhang away. Mengzi assembled the sniper platoon: "Brothers, it's time for us to go into battle, everyone has any good suggestions to talk about." No one spoke.Mengzi looked at Mu Liangfeng: "Liangfeng, tell me." Mu Liangfeng thought for a while: "Come with me." All 11 members of the sniper platoon ran down with him. The opposite side of the hillside of the position was an open field about 700 meters wide. It was originally a cornfield. Because of the needs of the fighting environment, the 204th regiment compensated the local farmers for some losses. All the corn had been chopped off, and now the brother of the engineer company commander was waiting for the last retreating Nationalist troops to pass and laying mines in the area.On the opposite side of the open land is another dense forest, with some natural small stone hills in the middle from time to time. The surrounding trees and stone hills rely on each other, and there are waist-high thorns and bushes everywhere.

They came to this rocky mountain and found a big rock that was only one meter high: "I just want to lie in this position, what do you think?" Mengzi looked at this position and immediately said: "No, it's too dangerous. What if the devil's infantry passes by here and finds you? Even if the Japanese army doesn't find out, they may be accidentally injured by their own people." Mu Liangfeng said: "Platoon leader, lie down on my seat and take a closer look. I walked around here all afternoon the day before yesterday before I found this place." Mengzi crouched under the big rock in doubt, and was immediately overwhelmed by his gaze.This is a huge V-shaped boulder. People are lying in the middle of the V. People here cannot be seen from behind. This place deviates from the main battlefield. Ordinary artillery fire will not hit here at all, even if it is a direct hit by ordinary artillery fire. It is difficult to shake it for a while. It is still very safe for people to lie down here. What's more, the field of vision is wide. From here, all the targets within 1500 meters of the entire open field and even the two sides of the open field can be clearly seen. Chu.

This is undoubtedly an excellent sniper position. "Our conventional weapons can't hit this position, and there are stones and thorns everywhere, and the enemy's tanks and infantry will never come from here." Mu Liangfeng analyzed it: "Platoon leader, can it work!?" Mengzi was silent for a moment: "It's too risky, how about this, you take Xiao Wu as a team, and the two of you are lurking here." Then he made other arrangements: "Our regiment's defense area has a total of four hills. Keep two people in the main position on the top of the mountain, and I will take the other to lurk in the vegetable field halfway up the mountain."

After reading it, everyone has no comments. "Each person brings three days of water and rations, 100 rounds of rifle bullets, 20 rounds of pistol bullets, and 3 grenades. Let's act!" Mu Liangfeng had already carried all his belongings on his back. He put down his backpack and began to set up a disguise. Xiao Wu said, "Platoon officer, I'll be right there!" and followed the brothers away. Mu Liangfeng reminded him: "Be careful, it will become a minefield in a while." Meng Zi walked a few steps and ran back: "A German instructor told me a word, he said that a sniper should take the initiative to attack at risk, but our troops are increasingly lacking this spirit."

After a pause, he said, "Liangfeng, if I die, please do me a favor." "Don't say stupid things." Mu Liangfeng chuckled. "If I really die, you must not tell my sister, just say that I was transferred to another unit." Mu Liangfeng was silent for a while: "Platoon leader, I made a note." "If you can..." Mengzi's gaze stayed on him: "If you can, help me take care of my sister. Please brother." After speaking, he turned and left. Mu Liangfeng laughed at the back pretending to be relaxed: "Platoon leader, if I die, you have to promise me one thing. Don't tell my grandfather the news. There is no one else in my family, only my grandfather. "

Mengzi stopped in his tracks, turned around and said harshly, "If you talk nonsense again, I'll beat you. Remember to live well no matter what." It didn't take long for the camouflage to be set up, and Mu Liangfeng was lying between the rocks. No matter from which angle, he looked like a pile of grass, no different from the surrounding environment.What's even more refreshing is that the top of the stone has a large bump that blocks his body, so he won't be afraid of getting wet even if it rains heavily. He took out a cigarette, but didn't light it. Both John and Mengzi had told him that as a sniper, any clue could be fatal.The devil was coming in a few hours, so he picked up the cigarette and smelled it.He also had two packs of cigarettes and two boxes of matches in his knapsack, both given to him by the platoon leader.

There was a slight sound from the grass outside, a person, no, to be precise, it should be a pile of walking grass, "that pile of grass" walked up to him lightly and looked around. "Mate, mate, where are you?" "That pile of grass" called softly. Mu Liangfeng knew it was Xiao Wu just by hearing his voice. This kid was 21 years old, he was a Hunan soldier from Shaoyang, and he was still his hometown.His marksmanship is not outstanding in the platoon, but he is agile, clever, humorous and popular. "What are you calling, I'll lie at your feet." It was only then that Xiao Wu realized that his platoon officer was lying on his stomach not far in front of his feet, so he also squatted beside him with a smile, and the two of them squeezed together just right between the rocks.

This is Xiangbei in early autumn, the weather is already cool, Mu Liangfeng closed his eyes, he seemed to hear the devil's chariot rumbling towards this side.They lie motionless under the stone, they are a heap of grass.
