On the other side, after temporarily getting rid of Barton, Luo Beichen also quickly checked his injuries.
Patton's sniper rifle uses 7.62 mm bullets. Bullets of this caliber are quite powerful when shot from a sniper rifle.
Fortunately, the distance between the two sides is not too close, and the power of the bullet is reduced a lot after losing a certain amount of kinetic energy.
Luo Beichen was shot in the left shoulder, outside near the deltoid muscle.
The bullet was fired from the front, but did not penetrate. At this time, the bullet was still stuck in Luo Beichen's shoulder.
However, due to the emergency situation, Luo Beichen did not have much time to deal with the wound.
Therefore, Luo Beichen simply covered the wound with a bandage to slow down the loss of blood.
Luo Beichen was dressing the wound while recalling the situation just now.
It stands to reason that although his plan is a bit bold, it is still a good choice under the circumstances, and there will be no mistakes in completing such an action with his physical fitness.
But it turned out that he was hit.
If I hadn't dodged quickly, the shot might have landed on my head.
Luo Beichen didn't think Barton's reaction could be that fast.
Unless Barton guessed his plan.
After all, it takes 2.5 seconds for an average sniper to lock the target and shoot, and this is under perfect sniping conditions.
Just now, Luo Beichen's entire process from actively exposing himself to changing his position to evade did not take more than 2 seconds.
In the jungle, especially at night, Luo Beichen didn't think Barton could shorten this time to less than two seconds. If he could complete it in 2.3 seconds, he would be considered a top sniper.
Now that this situation has occurred, there is only one possibility.
It was Patton who had already seen Luo Beichen's intention. The first shot was actually fired by Patton casually. The muzzle of Patton's gun was actually pointed at the position where Luo Beichen was about to hide. That's why Patton's second shot came so quickly.
.
Thinking of this possibility, Luo Beichen couldn't help but look a little ugly.
It can be said that this is the first time he has encountered such a cunning opponent in his military career.
Even the sniper from the Greedy Mercenary Group was not so difficult to deal with.
Luo Beichen wiped the sweat from his head, and then carefully moved his left arm.
The bone-piercing pain made Luo Beichen couldn't help but frown.
It seemed that the wound was more serious than he thought. Judging from the pain, the bones on the shoulder were probably damaged to some extent by the impact of the bullet.
Fortunately, it was not the right shoulder that was injured. Although it was affected, it was not serious.
However, given the current situation, it is somewhat unrealistic to continue to engage in mobile warfare with Patton.
If it were an ordinary opponent, it would be okay, but this time, Luo Beichen didn't dare to despise him in the slightest.
Luo Beichen looked around carefully.
Because of his night vision ability, Luo Beichen can have a clear view of the surrounding situation.
Luo Beichen's eyes lit up when he saw a pile of rubble.
Then Luo Beichen ran over holding the gun.
The only small slope in this pile of rubble is surrounded by weeds and trees. It can be regarded as a medium-sized commanding height, but the location is also relatively obvious.
Even an ordinary soldier will subconsciously be on guard when he sees this.
Although the location here is quite special, Luo Beichen is quite fond of this place.
Facing an opponent like Barton, no matter where Luo Beichen hides, the effect will not make any difference.
In terms of tactical literacy, combat experience, and combat positioning, Luo Beichen actually has no advantage compared to Patton, a veteran among mercenaries.
Facing such an opponent, no matter how many tricks you play, it will have no effect.
And now Luo Beichen's situation doesn't allow him to play with anything.
He has been injured, and Qiangzi still doesn't know what the situation is. Time is undoubtedly very important for Luo Beichen now.
If you continue to delay, it will only lead to slow death. After all, they will not have any support here.
In this case, it’s better to just set up a battle and have an open battle, and see whose gun is faster and whose gun is more accurate.
After making up his mind, Luo Beichen quickly established his sniper position, then set up his gun and quietly waited for Barton's arrival.
Time passed little by little, but Patton did not appear, but there were still constant gunshots not far away, and occasionally there was the explosion of 40mm fire.
Obviously, the situation on Geng Jihui's side is not very optimistic.
However, all this seemed to have no impact on Luo Beichen. He still held the gun steadily and stared ahead like a statue.
Finally, at a certain moment, Luo Beichen's eyes moved, and he felt Barton's appearance.
At this time, somewhere a few hundred meters away from Luo Beichen, Barton was hiding in a bush, and his gun was pointed at the pile of rocks where Luo Beichen was hiding.
In fact, Barton had already arrived, but out of caution, he did not choose to get close. Instead, he waited until he was sure that there was nothing going on around him before slowly approaching.
At this time, both Barton and Luo Beichen knew each other's position, but neither chose to shoot first.
Sniper duels are all about an opportunity. Once one party seizes this opportunity, it will be almost invincible.
As for Barton, now that he has the advantage, it is naturally impossible to give this opportunity to Luo Beichen.
Luo Beichen on the other side was obviously not as calm as Barton.
"Captain, Qiangzi's condition is not optimistic. We need to find a place to perform surgery on him as soon as possible." Listening to Geng Jihui's voice in the headphones, Luo Beichen's face began to look serious.
Then Luo Beichen took off the headphones and put them in his pocket.
Luo Beichen adjusted his position and put his finger on the trigger.
At this time, Luo Beichen's mind became peaceful. The smell in the air, the subtle changes in the distant grass in his eyes, etc. were all summarized in Luo Beichen's mind.
Luo Beichen slowly moved the muzzle of the gun and slowly aimed it at Barton's location.
At a certain moment, Luo Beichen's moving muzzle suddenly stopped, and then Luo Beichen decisively pulled the trigger.
With a loud noise, the bullet was shot from the muzzle.
And just after the gunshots rang out from Luo Beichen's side, almost at the same time, gunshots rang out from the opposite side.
With the early warning of the spider sense, Luo Beichen had already dodged when Patton's gunfire sounded.
The bullet grazed Luo Beichen's forehead and flew past.
