Twenty sniper groups approached Homnich without the Germans noticing.
At night, Natasha spent the night in a snow pit. Two men with engineer shovels easily dug out a shack in the thick snow. Because of the cold, the snow could not melt, so Natasha wrapped herself in two layers of blankets.
She got into her cozy nest, including her precious rifle, wrapped in a blanket.
Natasha's team carried enough rations for ten days. For practical needs, the big ribs were cut into pieces, which would prevent the bread from freezing. In addition, yogurt cubes, boneless salted fish jerky, beef
and canned sauerkraut are essential military rations.
It's a pity that hot meals should be eaten on such a cold day. As a sniper, she must be prepared to fight in a difficult environment. Like everyone else, she also has to eat cold meals. When she is hungry, she will nibble on a handful of bread crumbs.
Just grab a handful of snow. Even so, her situation is much better than that of the Chinese volunteers who will fight against U.S. aggression and aid Korea in the future.
Because Yang Mingzhi was very worried about this girl, she was only fifteen years old and still giving birth to a child. During the war, as long as she ate more greasy food, such as canned beef, she would be enough to cope with the calorie consumption.
Natasha's sniper team moved towards Homnich little by little, keeping at least one kilometer away from the nearby sniper team.
She has a more exciting fighting spirit, even as a child, she moves forward faster.
"Natasha, you can't slow down. We don't have to rush to the destination too early. We should still go at normal speed. We have to wait for others." Igor complained.
"No! Because the enemy will not rest, and we must hurry up."
Igor frowned: "You're just holding a gun, and I'm carrying the bullets. Look at me, carrying such heavy supplies and your bedding for the night. My load is very heavy, and I can't even carry it with you."
Compared to you."
When he said this, Natasha suddenly felt embarrassed. However, she still wanted to rush to the battlefield faster, so she had to let the grown man worry a little more.
The three of them traveled for a day, and towards evening, a town loomed in the distance.
The tallest building in Homnage is a four-storey building, and most of the other buildings are double-storey.
"We'll set up camp here and we'll start our operation tomorrow." After Igor said that, he unloaded his heavy burden. Although she was very strong, she still suffered from back pain after walking like a mule for a whole day.
He and Mikhail rested for a while, ate something, and then started working again to build the shack for tonight.
As for Natasha, she was lying in the snow, her rifle muzzle already aimed at the distant town, her wounded legs spread motionless, as if she was about to shoot.
"Dear, what are you doing? Have you discovered the enemy and want to shoot now?" Igor asked impatiently.
"No! I'm measuring the distance."
There is a scale on one side of her sniper scope. The figure is placed in the arc of the scale, and the distance to the target can be estimated. Natasha can vaguely see the movement of the figure in the lens, and the estimated distance is as high as two kilometers.
"It's really too far! It has exceeded the shooting limit of this gun!" Natasha put away the gun, and the shack was almost completed.
"It's already very late today, leave your actions until tomorrow." Igor suggested.
"Okay, that's my plan. But the enemy is too far away, so I still have to keep moving forward. I have to go at least five hundred meters outside the town before I can shoot at the enemies in the town."
Natasha's eyes were very determined, and Igor shook his head. "Actually, I don't think you need to take too many risks. Our current position is enough for you to use as a sniper position. As for the shooting target, we believe that the German patrol will come to your door."
Come on, you kill them all, it will also be a major blow to the enemy."
This is indeed an option. Natasha is in the second stage, but she is not a fool. If she advances too far, her risk factor will be higher. Because of that distance, the German small mortars can cover the fire.
What's more, when they deal with snipers, they usually cover them all with firepower.
"Okay, that's it."
Igor firmly believed that the German army would definitely send patrols to patrol in the snow, which was a required course for the defenders. They occupied Homnich to ensure long-term control and to understand the surrounding environment.
Early the next morning, Natasha entered the prepared sniper position early. She was still wearing a white cloak, and the two men were scattered on both sides of her.
The work of a sniper is arduous, and waiting in the wilderness has to withstand the test of time. To make matters worse, the weather conditions on this day were not good. The sky was gray and there were scattered snowflakes in the sky, so that visibility was not good.
not good.
Igor and Mikhail were responsible for taking care of the girl. Their submachine guns were loaded. They both held telescopes to help Natasha search the surroundings and acted as observers.
Natasha didn't dare to neglect it at all. The visibility was about 400 meters, which was already the limit. Further away, it was just gray and white.
She couldn't help but yawn, until Igor suddenly raised his right fist to wake her up.
Natasha suddenly turned her gun in the direction pointed by Igor's finger, and saw a small group of black shadows moving in the gray world.
This is probably the enemy! The sound of the wind offset the shouts of many girls, and Natasha ordered the two men: "This is probably the enemy's patrol. Get ready for battle!"
As time went by, the shadows grew larger and larger, and they were moving from northeast to southwest. In order to determine the identities of these people, Natasha maintained restraint, the bipod of the rifle was deployed, and the muzzle suppressor was also activated.
Install it and fire it up when the time comes.
Soon, she was finally able to determine the identities of these people - German soldiers.
This is a patrol consisting of ten people. Each person wears a white German steel helmet on his head and also wears a white cloak. When walking, his gray military uniform is exposed.
The ten-man team had submachine guns hanging around their necks, and the people behind them all carried rifles. Calculated by the ruler, the enemy was only 200 meters away, and the opportunity to shoot had arrived.
Natasha's little index finger slowly moved on the trigger. She adjusted her breathing and estimated the wind direction. The crosshairs slowly fell on the person in the group, because this must be an officer.
There was a crisp sound that covered up the sound of the wind, and the bullet flew out and directly hit the neck of the person in the team. The person fell down weakly before he could react. The people behind him only saw the captain being knocked down by something suddenly.
Before she could react, Natasha started a new round of shooting.
It was like being at a shooting range. Natasha had been training hard. After consuming a lot of bullets, she was already a sharpshooter, especially when holding semi-automatic weapons.
Five bullets were fired in succession, but the accuracy of the subsequent techniques was reduced due to the relationship between the recoil and the temperature of the muzzle. She could be sure that they all hit, but she could not guarantee that the entire city would be killed.
"Well done!" Igor was proud of her. He kept his telescope in his hand and saw that all the enemies fell down immediately after encountering such a sudden attack.
But Igor suddenly saw a soldier carrying a square object on his back. When he lay down, there was a long thing shaking on top of the object! "Damn, this is a radio station!" Igor felt very uncomfortable.
OK, he quickly rushed to Natasha's sniper position.
At this moment, the girl was still aiming in the direction where they were lying down.
"Honey! They have a radio. You should have killed the person carrying the radio or destroyed their radio with one shot."
A smart person like Natasha suddenly realized her negligence. She was startled. After being attacked by a sniper, the radio operator who was still alive must report to the defenders in the town.
"I'm sorry! I was negligent!"
"It's okay. You have done a good job, killing five enemies in one fell swoop. Now we continue to wait, I believe you can wipe out this patrol." Igor lay not far away from her and continued to monitor.
As far as the current situation is concerned, it's all about who has better psychological quality. The German army knows that it has been attacked by a sniper. If it is exposed rashly, it is likely to be shot in the head immediately. As long as both sides can survive, the remaining five German soldiers must survive the sniper.
I can't wait for it to retreat impatiently, but before that I can only be nailed to the snow. (To be continued.) 8
