At three o'clock in the morning, Wei Ran took out a piece of camouflage cloth he bought in Yakutsk from his backpack, tore it into long strips and wrapped it around his shoes. Then he put on his gloves and then walked to the shore with a straight waist.
He took out the platoon boat he had just put away and pushed it into the lake.
Rocking the boat, he slowly approached the area where the bonfire was once lit. As the distance between the two got closer, his movements became softer and gentler.
Lifting the night vision device removed from the sniper rifle, Wei Ran searched through his memory, and then discovered that there was a small lake connected to the easternmost edge of the lake, with a diameter of no more than a hundred meters.
Between the two lakes, there is a natural embankment about fifty meters wide that divides them into two pieces. And parked on the edge of this natural embankment is an iron boat with its engine removed.
Looking across this dike, in the coniferous forest on the eastern edge of another small lake, there are three or four tents scattered here and there. There are also many oil drums scattered around the tents.
, four or five water pumps are arranged on the shore.
However, the moment he put away the boat and boarded the embankment, a manic and low barking dog came from the direction of the tent on the other side.
This was good news. Wei Ran immediately got into the coniferous forest on the shore, climbed up a pine tree quickly, and then looked over with a telescope.
Soon, the barking of the dog was stopped, and a beam of flashlight jumped out from one of the tents. Through the beam of the flashlight, Wei Ran vaguely saw that the person who came out of the tent happened to be the person who had been at the gas station.
That cheery middle-aged guy we met once.
But not long after, the other party turned around and got into the tent, and even the light of the flashlight dimmed. Wei Ran, who was hiding in the pine tree, thought about it, put away the telescope, and carefully moved to the shore, picked up a stone, and
He threw it into the lake with force.
With a "plop" sound, as the stone was smashed into the calm lake, the dog that had just calmed down started barking at the top of its lungs again.
Soon, the flashlight that went out not long ago came on again, but before Wei Ran could react, the middle-aged man who came out of the tent took out his pistol and simply pulled the trigger above his head!
Following the crisp gunshot, the lights of the other tents also lit up one after another. Upon seeing this, Wei Ran, who had succeeded, immediately hid his figure and looked over with his binoculars.
In the clear and sharp field of vision, the men holding flashlights or wearing headlamps could see each one more clearly, but these people did not have the smugglers he was looking for at all, and even the few men who sent the smugglers over were not there.
Didn't see it.
However, it was through the other party's light that he could see clearly the ivory tusks piled in the center of the tents, and even several fresh bear skins supported by wooden frames.
This is really good news. As long as these people have the local products that need to be sold, they are not afraid that the smuggler will not come over. The only uncertainty now is when the smuggler will come over.
After all, he and Ji Ma had known each other for such a long time, and he was an experienced hunter. Wei Ran naturally knew that the gunshot just fired was just to scare away any wild animals that might be around.
If you challenge the dog responsible for keeping watch at this time, as long as the other person is not stupid, he will definitely guess that there is someone hiding around.
Because, before the people on the other side got into the tent, he quietly retreated to the shore. After clearing the vague footprints on the ground, he quietly rocked the boat and returned to the shore not long ago.
Hiding location.
After collecting the platoon boat, Wei Ran once again cleaned up the traces and took the backpack left here. With the help of the night vision device in his hand, he carefully walked westward towards the highway in the coniferous forest on the north bank of the lake.
The forest in this season is far more dangerous than in winter. Not only the hungry Siberian bears have awakened from hibernation, but the wolves that have survived the long winter nights are also more ferocious than in summer. But what is more dangerous is the hunter's arrangement
animal traps and swamps hidden under dead branches and leaves.
Fortunately, this place is less than 400 meters away from the asphalt road built in the Soviet era. In addition, there will be no heavy trucks pulling logs in the forest, so it is easier to walk than the logging road to the south.
It took a full hour and a half, Wei Ran found a retreat route in the forest that went straight to the roadside, and walked back and forth along this route two or three times until he was sure that he could follow this route.
route, and quickly ran back to the van parked on the side of the road without the help of night vision goggles. Then before the sun rose, he steered the boat again and carefully observed the coast again along the shore of the lake.
environment of.
Fortunately, there is only one abandoned and collapsed hunter's cabin on the south bank of the lake, which makes Weiran's subsequent operations even more convenient.
When the early morning sunshine reflected on the calm lake again, Wei Ran had already returned to his hiding place on the north bank of the lake, and was lying on the row boat that served as a bed, wearing a camouflage cloth.
As for whether the smuggler will come here, Wei Ran doesn't know, but he is confident enough. After all, this place is too close to Xiabejiashe. As the saying goes, "the first to get the moon is the one closest to the water." As long as the smugglers
Or maybe one of those mammoth ivory diggers across the lake has a sane mind, and the two parties will definitely meet soon.
Sure enough, after waiting half-asleep in the boat for a whole day, with the roar of the engine, the iron boat on the east bank of the lake also sailed towards the pier on the west bank under the setting sun.
Seeing this, Wei Ran rubbed his face to wake up as soon as possible, and then took out the anti-tank gun mounted on the gun truck from the metal book!
Mao bent down and stepped on the two frames of the artillery truck into the wet soil. The guard sat on the transverse board of the platoon boat, wearing a camouflage cloth and slowly shaking the ratchet to complete the bolt opening.
Using that weird optical sight, he looked at the empty pier on the east coast. After thinking for a moment, Weiran replaced the anti-tank gun with a magazine filled with high-explosive ammunition and a matching muzzle brake.
After getting ready to shoot, Wei Ran roughly estimated the distance. From the north shore of the lake where he was hiding to the dock on the west shore, it was only less than 400 meters, and the distance to the center of the lake was even shorter.
For this 20mm caliber anti-tank gun, this distance is enough to deal with the Soviet and German tanks in the early days of World War II, let alone that rusty iron boat.
After waiting patiently for nearly an hour, a heavy truck and a dirty off-road vehicle slowly drove to the edge of the dock. As the door of the truck opened, two men jumped out from both sides of the truck's cab.
, and then, as the door of the off-road vehicle opened, Wei Ran's face also showed an expression of surprise that he had found something.
In the high-power scope of the anti-tank gun, the little Japanese smuggler wearing a hunting suit walked slowly onto the dock, and led by the two men to board the iron boat. And the two men who got off the heavy truck
Mao Zi, at this time, had already climbed onto the roof of the car, lay on it and set up his gun.
"Zhongmen vs. sniper?"
While Wei Ran was teasing secretly, he flipped the gun release button with his finger, and with a soft "click" sound, he pushed a high-explosive bomb into the chamber.
However, he did not rush to shoot. Instead, he waited until the iron boat carrying the smuggler was about to sail to the middle of the lake, then he aimed at the two hairs on the front of the truck and pulled the trigger hard.
trigger.
"boom!"
Accompanied by a dull gunshot from the north shore of the lake, the two men on the roof of the heavy truck were also enveloped within the killing range of the high-explosive bomb!
Without even looking at the damage effect, Wei Ran had already turned his gun and pointed it at the iron boat in the middle of the lake. He used the ring sight in the high-power optical sight for anti-aircraft to cover the man who crouched down in the sound of gunfire.
smuggler!
After the second gunshot that followed, the smuggler was directly beaten into two pieces by a high-explosive bomb carrying huge energy!
Not to mention, the two men who came with him in the same boat and the man in charge of driving the boat were also not spared.
The smallest living target diameter of the 20mm high-explosive bomb is about five meters, which is far beyond the size of the iron boat itself. Therefore, the exploded warhead fragments easily killed everyone on board.
!
Ignoring the iron boat that was still moving slowly on the lake, Wei Ran moved his gun again and aimed it at the off-road vehicle that was about to turn around at the West Bank Pier. He put the sight on the driver's window and pulled the trigger decisively!
After the gunfire, the off-road vehicle that was preparing to escape immediately lost control, drove crookedly onto the pier, and then plunged into the cold lake water.
"It saves me trouble," Wei Ran muttered as he aimed at the boat full of corpses and pulled the trigger.
The small boat with only a thin layer of iron was easily blown open by the high-explosive bomb, and then the small boat tilted its bow and began to sink rapidly.
At the same time, Wei Ran had also recovered the anti-tank gun and the platoon boat underneath him, and also put all the recovered bullet casings into the food box.
Before leaving, he carefully cleaned away the traces left by the gun carriage and the vague shoe prints on the ground. Then he put on the camouflage cloth and walked along the advance road in the dark coniferous forest at dusk.
After taking the retreat route, he ran towards the van parked on the side of the road.
After successfully returning to the car, Wei Ran untied the cloth strips wrapped around his boots and the camouflage cloth on his body, rolled them into a ball, and stuffed them into his bag. He started the tattered van and drove straight into the only place in the small town of Lower Bejashe.
car wash shop.
Watching the car wash employees applying foam to the car, Wei Ran said hello, walked to the other side of the road, got into the small rented hotel, took a shower and changed into clean clothes, and also found a place to have a meal.
Then he unhurriedly drove the cleaned car to the public parking lot in front of the local police station.
