With a Type 85 sniper rifle and 40 rounds of ammunition, Chang Ning did not think he had the ability to fight the pursuers for three hours.
The blue army's pursuers will not just stay put and just shoot at each other with you.
To counterattack, they will be divided into two groups, one group will be responsible for fire suppression, and the other group will be responsible for advancement.
In this way, Chang Ning's situation will become very dangerous, and he will face a situation where he cannot advance or retreat.
As long as he leaves the bunker, a large amount of firepower will be poured on him. If he retreats, it means handing his back to the enemy. Isn't this waiting to be shot?
If the distance between the two sides is far away, Chang Ning retreats while fighting. Now the distance between the two sides is less than 100 meters, how can he run?
Chang Ning instantly eliminated ten of his comrades, and the soldiers of the Fourth Sharpshooter Company immediately made corresponding adjustments.
They began to consciously change magazines in batches, so as to maintain effective firepower output and reduce the chance of elimination.
The pressure was on Chang Ning's side, and his opponent made tactical adjustments, further losing his advantage.
What's the use of being good at shooting? You have to have a chance to shoot.
The members of the Fourth Company of Sharpshooters would not give Chang Ning such a chance. They had eliminated more than ten of them when the two sides met just now.
The loss was not in vain. They knew that Chang Ning was as good at marksmanship as they were. As the same type of sharpshooters, the Fourth Company easily figured out a way to restrain Chang Ning.
In short, just compare yourself to others, think about situations they usually don't want to face, and then scold and restrict Chang Ning.
This made Chang Ning extremely frustrated. Things turned out just as he expected. He was so suppressed that he couldn't even lift his head.
At this moment, he wished that he was not holding a sniper rifle but a Type 95.
If he had an assault rifle in his hand, it would not allow him to come back, but it would be better than being passively beaten now, where it would be extremely difficult to even fight back.
"Here we go again."
He raised his head slightly and took a look outside the position, and found that the men of the Fourth Company were beginning to advance toward him again. Chang Ning immediately got up and fired to drive back those men.
The men of the Fourth Company did not carry much ammunition, and Chang Ning eliminated their company commander from the beginning. The angry Fourth Company desperately suppressed Chang Ning.
As a result, their ammunition became insufficient, and the Fourth Company was forced to change the rhythm of the attack.
After regaining his composure, Chang Ning seized the hard-won opportunity and began to fight back against the Fourth Company.
It was so great to suppress the Fourth Company before, but now it is so embarrassing.
Although Chang Ning's "sniper rifle shooting" experience is not fully maxed out, if there was a competition, his skills would be better than those of everyone in the Fourth Company.
Chang Ning's sniper skills now are roughly equivalent to He Chenguang's level in the Fourth Company. There is still a gap between him and the top snipers, but he has already surpassed the snipers of grassroots units.
"No wonder he was able to eliminate our group leader without being discovered by us in advance.
With this Red Army scout's sniper skills, he must have fired the shot outside our patrol range.
Based on this calculation, he has set up a sniper position at least 1,000 meters away!"
The noncommissioned officer was calmed by his own conclusion. The effective range of the Type 85 sniper rifle was only 1,000 meters.
There are very few people in the Fourth Company of Sharpshooters who can achieve this level of success. Not to mention the small Fourth Company, there are only a few people in the entire army who can hit a moving target within the maximum effective range of the 85mm sniper.
That is the person who is qualified to represent the army in the competition and become the "gun king".
How lucky were they to meet such an opponent?
The noncommissioned officer who guessed the truth was not praised by his platoon leader, but instead received a slap on the helmet.
"So what if you know? If you have such a brain, why don't you think of a way to take him down quickly!"
The sergeant's face immediately dropped. If it were so easy to catch someone, the people in their company would not let the company commander be eliminated in front of him, let alone so many people who had been fighting for so long and still not been eliminated.
People.
The platoon leader looked worriedly at the darkening sky.
"It will get dark soon."
The sky in the deep mountains and old forests far away from the city also gets dark earlier than in the city.
If the other party wants to escape, the best opportunity is to take advantage of the darkness and take advantage of the reduced visibility to escape from their pursuit.
"Old Chen, that scout may want to escape while it's dark."
The platoon leader who discovered the clue contacted his comrade named Lao Chen via radio.
Like him, Lao Chen was also the platoon leader of the Fourth Company. As for the other platoon leader, he was more unlucky and had been eliminated by Chang Ning.
"Old Wang, have you discovered it too? I was about to tell you, but I didn't expect you to inform me first."
Lao Chen's voice sounded from Platoon Commander Wang's headset.
"How could it be possible for him to run away like this? Let me say that we all rush forward at once. The ammunition capacity of the Type 85 sniper rifle is 10 rounds. No matter how fast he moves, 20 of us will be eliminated.
As long as we can be ruthless, we can still capture this person."
Platoon Leader Wang said viciously that Chang Ning had pissed him off. He was the oldest platoon leader of the Fourth Company of Sharpshooters, and his love for this company ran deep into his bones.
But today the Red Army scout slapped them in the face twice. In the heart of Platoon Leader Wang, he had to get his face back no matter what!
"Old Wang, you are crazy!
Now there are only about 80 people left in our company. Don't forget that we still have to carry out the tasks assigned by the group leader.
Although our group leader has been eliminated, the Iron Fist group must complete its mission as long as it lasts!"
Platoon Leader Chen persuaded Platoon Leader Wang earnestly, but he was not as persistent as Platoon Leader Wang. What does a Red Army scout mean compared to the entire exercise?
As long as they cooperate with the whole group to capture the 522 Highlands, the balance of victory will tilt towards them.
Therefore, Platoon Leader Chen did not agree with Lao Wang's idea.
"Old Chen, believe me! Even if 20 people in our company are eliminated, there are still 60 people in our company who can fight. It is enough to complete the next mission with our company's combat effectiveness!"
Platoon leader Wang still insisted on charging as a whole and captured Chang Ning in one go.
"this……"
Platoon Leader Chen hesitated. The conversation between him and Lao Wang was on a public channel, and all the soldiers in the company could hear their conversation.
If he doesn't agree with Lao Wang's suggestion, I'm afraid it will be difficult to lead this soldier next.
'Oh, that's all, it's not like the whole army was wiped out.'
"Okay, agreed."
Platoon leader Chen compromised. He didn't want to create a gap between himself and the soldiers because of this incident.
After the discussion, the two began to notify the fourth company of sharpshooters to prepare for a charge.
'What's going on? Why did the firepower on the opposite side suddenly weaken so much?'
Being constantly suppressed by firepower, Chang Ning became very sensitive to the firepower output of the Fourth Company of Sharpshooters, because every change in firepower output was an opportunity for him to counterattack.
'Don't they realize what I'm thinking?'
After experiencing so much, Chang Ning has learned a lot and dare not look down on anyone.
Although the sun is almost obscured by the horizon now, it will still be some time before it becomes completely dark.
If the Fourth Company of Sharpshooters charges Chang Ning at this time, Chang Ning will become very dangerous!
Thinking that his plan was likely to be guessed by others, Chang Ning did not take advantage of the weakened firepower to counterattack this time, but quietly retreated.
Chang Ning's crawling movements were very fast, but the sound made by the friction between his body and the plants was extremely small.
If he encounters dry branches and leaves, he will avoid them carefully, fearing that the sound he makes will be heard by the soldiers chasing him.
When he reached a distance where he was sure that he would not be discovered, Chang Ning quickly got up from the ground and ran into the depths of the forest.
The above actions were all carried out during discussions between the two platoon leaders of the Fourth Sharpshooter Company. Even if they were killed, they would never have thought that Chang Ning was so cautious, and that even the slightest change would make him alert.
"Everyone, listen to my command."
Platoon Leader Wang issued orders via radio to all the soldiers of the Fourth Company of Sharpshooters who had not been eliminated.
"charge!"
As soon as these two words came out of his mouth, Platoon Commander Wang took the lead and rushed towards Chang Ning's sniper position with his gun in hand.
During the charge, everyone was filled with doubts: 'Why was there no movement at the Red Army scout's sniper position?'
Platoon Leader Chen and Platoon Leader Wang looked at each other and thought of a possibility that they didn't want to believe.
When they arrived at Chang Ning's position, they found that there was nothing on the position. Chang Ning didn't even leave any 7.62mm bullet casings for them.
"Get out!"
Platoon Commander Wang was furious. He was just a short step away from capturing that hateful guy alive!
"Since we didn't catch him, let's go back to the camp."
Platoon Leader Chen persuaded Platoon Leader Wang to return to the camp. After all, chasing Chang Ning was not an order from the regiment leader.
We must focus on the overall situation, and the loss of capturing 522 Highlands is completely worth it.
It makes more sense than wasting manpower chasing a scout.
"Get out of here!"
Platoon Leader Wang overturned Platoon Leader Chen who was trying to persuade him.
If it weren't for wasting time discussing with Platoon Leader Chen, Chang Ning would never have had the chance to escape.
Thinking of this, Platoon Leader Wang became very angry and glared at Platoon Leader Chen.
"Anyone who wants to chase that scout with me can come with me!"
After Platoon Leader Wang finished speaking, he followed the traces left by Chang Ning alone.
Chang Ning left in a hurry and didn't have time to clean up the traces, so he was discovered by Platoon Commander Wang.
The remaining soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment, gradually one person, two people... until everyone was holding their guns and chose to follow Platoon Leader Wang.
"What happened..."
The general trend was the general trend. What could Platoon Leader Chen do? He had no choice but to smile bitterly and follow.
In fact, Platoon Leader Wang's thinking was not affected by his anger. He wanted to pursue Chang Ning as quickly as possible. If he still couldn't catch Chang Ning after chasing for 5 kilometers, he would give up the pursuit.
A person who can be a platoon leader may not be as good as a company commander in terms of tactical literacy, but he is definitely not a fool. Compared with the mission of the entire regiment, the reputation of their fourth company of sharpshooters is indeed nothing.
Chapter completed!
