The rumbling explosion raised large amounts of smoke and dust. Zhang Hai, the sniper leader who was lying on the edge of the nearby trench, looked at the direction of the explosion and couldn't help but feel nervous.
But the distance was a bit far, and he couldn't see clearly what was going on on the other side of the explosion. But as soon as he fired, the Japs' grenades hit the ground and exploded, making Zhang Hai realize that the Japs were probably on guard.
"Captain, there's something going on."
At this time, the new sniper Lu Wenen, who was lying not far away from him wearing a camouflage, lowered his voice and pointed to the opposite side of them.
Zhang Hai set up his sniper rifle and saw through the scope that someone was carefully poking out half of a steel helmet from the trench in the direction of the Japanese position on the opposite side, but his face could not be seen. Zhang Hai couldn't help but frown.
The opponent seemed to be testing, moving slowly along the trench, always showing half of his helmet.
The new sniper Lu Wenen next to him couldn't help but push the bullet into the barrel of the gun gently, preparing to knock off the Japs with half of his head exposed with one shot. The distance was very close, and the opponent's helmet was good at preventing stray bullets, but it couldn't.
Live sniper bombs.
After seeing Lu Wenen's actions, Zhang Hai shook his head at him, and then gestured for him to retreat because he felt something was wrong.
Since the Japanese knew that there were snipers watching them, they still dared to hang out openly. They were either stupid or emboldened.
Thinking of the explosions of grenade grenades in other directions, Zhang Hai felt that this was probably a trap set by the Japanese.
The new sniper Lu Wen'en did not think as much as Zhang Hai had thought. When he saw Zhang Hai's gesture asking him to give up sniping and evacuate, although he was a little unwilling to do so, he slowly crawled backwards back to the safety of the trench.
"Captain, it's so close, I'm sure, why should I let that little devil go?"
After Lu Wenen returned to the trench, he asked the sniper leader Zhang Hai full of doubts.
The sniper captain Zhang Hai frowned and said: "Think about it, we have sniped so many people in the past two days, why do they still dare to show up?"
"You mean the Japanese did it on purpose?" Lu Wenen was very smart and immediately thought of what Zhang Hai was worried about.
Zhang Hai nodded and said: "There must be a Japanese grenade group hiding nearby, waiting for us to be exposed. Let's change places and observe."
The Japs are indeed very smart. They know that the snipers on the Chinese team's side are accurate in marksmanship and use sniper rifles, so it will be difficult for them to compete in a short period of time.
So they found a sergeant commander who was experienced in actual combat and asked him to lead veterans to deliberately set traps on Chinese snipers and use grenade launchers to eliminate these exposed snipers.
It has to be said that the Japs are insidious. The range and power of grenades are much greater than bullets. As long as the sniper's position is discovered and a few grenades are fired, the opponent will definitely be killed.
Zhang Hai was not sure whether the Japanese were setting a trap for them, so he took sniper Lu Wenen and lurked in another place, observing the Japanese steel helmet that appeared from the Japanese trenches from time to time.
In the enemy's trenches, the enemy's steel helmet that popped up from time to time was held up by a veteran with a wooden stick. The purpose was to attract snipers to expose it.
Not far from this Japanese veteran, two Japanese grenade groups were on standby. Once they discovered the location of the Chinese sniper, they would launch a bombardment on the opponent as soon as possible.
However, the Japs have been wandering back and forth in this section of the trench for a long time, and there is no reaction from the Chinese position on the opposite side. Even though the Japs are experienced veterans, they feel that there should be no snipers lurking in this distance, otherwise the enemy would have fired long ago.
Already.
This Japanese veteran gave up the idea of luring the other side, because he felt that there was no one on the other side, so he turned around and waved to the two grenade groups on command, preparing to go to the other end of the defense line to repeat the same thing.
The Japs in the two grenade groups understood, and immediately followed the old Japs along the trench with grenade launchers and grenades.
The trenches at the front were already in tatters due to the fighting between the two sides. Although the Japs had lowered their bodies as low as possible, the lurking sniper captain Zhang Hai and sniper Lu Wen'en still discovered the Japs' movements.
Seeing these Japs sneaking towards another section of the trench, Lu Wenen was also frightened. If Zhang Hai hadn't keenly sensed the Japs' conspiracy just now and stopped him from firing, he might have been blown away by now.
The sniper captain Zhang Hai had no time to worry about Lu Wenen now. His muzzle was moving slowly, capturing the Japanese soldiers who showed half of their bodies from time to time without realizing it.
"boom!"
Soon, Zhang Hai pulled the trigger, and with a dull gunshot, the bullet accurately passed through a small gap that had been blown up in the trench. With a pop, the bullet penetrated the body of a Japanese soldier behind the gap in the trench.
The Japanese grenadier who was passing by at the waist did not expect that bullets would fly into this small gap. His body was hit by the impact of the bullet like a shield and hit the trench, and then fell to the ground.
The sudden sound of gunfire and the fact that his companions were shot and fell to the ground shocked the Japanese who were sneaking in the trenches and they all fell to the ground.
"Woooo..." The Japanese who was shot did not die, but was flopping and struggling on the ground.
After confirming that there was no danger around him, a Japanese soldier ran to his fallen comrade to check his injuries.
"boom!"
But as soon as the Japanese man walked over to the Japanese man who was shot and squatted down, another bullet penetrated his body, and he fell down beside his companion unwillingly.
Only then did the Japanese veteran notice that the direction in which the bullet was flying turned out to be a small gap the size of a palm, and the bullet flew in from outside the gap.
"The snipers are targeting us, crawl away from here."
The Japs veterans realized the danger and did not dare to let the other Japs soldiers, who were lying on the ground in fear, stand up.
The Japanese soldiers were also frightened. The opponent's sniper was able to shoot bullets into the trench from such a small gap and kill their comrades. This made them feel the breath of death.
They had no intention of disobeying the veteran, and slowly dragged their comrade, who was already dyed red, in front of them. However, they were worried about being sniped, so their speed was very slow.
When they dragged the two Japanese soldiers who were shot away from the exposed gap, the two Japanese soldiers who were shot had already died due to excessive blood loss.
The angry Japanese soldiers set up their grenades in the trench and fired several grenades at the place where the gunshots were heard, venting their inner anger.
"Let's go, don't waste grenades."
The Japs veterans knew that the opponent must have changed their positions long ago, so random bombardment without a target would have no effect.
With expressions of frustration on their faces, several Japanese soldiers slowly crawled toward the safe area behind with their dead companions. Zhang Hai and the others observed for a while that after the Japanese soldiers made no movement, they also chose to retreat.
When Zhang Hai and the others returned to the temporary camp after killing the two Japs, they saw many snipers gathered around with frustrated faces.
"what happened?"
Zhang Hai frowned, pushed past the crowd and strode in.
"Captain, a brother was killed in battle." A brother said with a choked voice.
Soon, Zhang Hai saw three brothers who were covered with white cloth. They were killed by the Japanese grenades in the previous battle.
