Based on the measurement data, Cao Fei adjusted the muzzle position of his gun. He needed an advance amount and calculated a distance based on his own experience.
In order to ensure that the target is killed, he also estimated a margin at this distance: the bullet will hit the position between the body and the head. If the wind is strong, it may hit the head. If the wind is small,
Just hit the body...
This is an almost foolproof choice, at least it can ensure a hit on the Dahua sniper in the shallow pit.
The opponent didn't realize that he was being targeted at all. He still carefully climbed to the edge of the shallow pit, found a very suitable angle, stretched out his sniper rifle, and aimed it at a distant position.
In the heart of this Dahua sniper, he still feels that he is a hunter, waiting for his prey to take the bait.
Cao Fei showed enough patience. Although his finger was already pressed on the trigger, he still did not fire, but waited for the enemy who might appear together.
About twenty seconds passed. Cao Fei knew that there would be no second target, so he held his breath and kept his rifle stable enough at this moment.
His sniper scope stopped, and a certain position of the crosshair pressed against the body of the Dahua sniper. After an instant, Cao Fei pulled the trigger very firmly.
"Bang!" The muzzle of his sniper rifle spurted flames. The bullet tore through the air, spun across a distance of 400 meters, and directly hit the Dahua sniper in the back.
This shot was very fatal, penetrating the Dahua sniper's body from the heart. In the observer's telescope, the Dahua sniper's body trembled for a moment, and then there was no more movement.
Blood began to spurt out from the hole made by the bullet, quickly dyeing the uniform of the Dahua sniper red. The dark red color spread on the uniform, and it was clearly visible through the telescope.
"Hit the target! It seems that the opponent is finished." The observer confirmed the death of the target and said to Cao Fei.
Cao Fei didn't speak. He just pulled the bolt of the gun and ejected a bullet casing. Then he pushed the bolt back in and loaded a bullet.
To be on the safe side, he prepared to fire another shot to ensure that the enemy would be on the road to death steadily - he was very careful, which was also one of his outstanding qualities as a sniper.
He will not give any chance to an enemy he hits. It is a good habit to shoot again. This is the regulation in the sniper manual, and it is the key point that His Majesty the Emperor gave their snipers.
Yes, this is one of Tang Mo's bad tastes: he repeatedly reminded his subordinates that a lion can fight a rabbit with all his strength, and it is not a shame to kill a chicken with a sledgehammer.
Countless movies and TV series have repeatedly taught Tang Mo and other earthly beings that the kind of idiot villains who start talking about good guys after being shot, and those decent villains who hug women and look cool after being shot, are all nothing.
Good ending.
Therefore, when there is no way to determine whether the target in the distance is a corpse or a living person, the best solution is to shoot at the target again.
Don't worry about wasting bullets. If one shot fails, shoot two. If two shots fail, call for artillery support, and then contact air strikes...
A red copper bullet casing clanked and rolled down into the gap in the stone in the distance. Cao Fei stared at the motionless target, adjusted his weapon slightly, held his breath again, and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!" Another gunshot echoed in the sky, quickly blending with the sound of distant artillery fire, and soon subsided in the dense artillery fire.
In the shallow pit 400 meters away, the body of the Dahua sniper who had been hit by the bullet once again bloomed with flowers of blood. His body trembled with the power of the bullet, and then became silent again.
This time, the bullet entered his shoulder, and it was estimated that the shoulder blade must have been shattered... Cao Fei frowned, because theoretically this shot was not considered a fatal injury.
Cao Fei felt that firing another bullet was too much. After all, at a distance of 400 meters, even he could not guarantee that his next bullet would hit the spot he wanted.
So he did not fire again, but carefully observed his target through the scope. Seeing that the target was still lying there motionless, he finally confirmed the death of the other party: "Let's go!"
After saying this, he began to crawl backwards slowly, and the observer also began to crawl backwards. Their backpacks were placed not far behind. The two took the backpacks and began to step on the next one.
The position of the point moves.
They dug a series of pits for each other. As long as the other side's sniper stepped on the first trap, everything that followed would be ready.
If the opponent has other snipers, they will definitely look for Cao Fei's sniper position, and in turn find a place to ambush Cao Fei's team.
However, Cao Fei's shooting position was 400 meters away, so the opponent's guess must be wrong. They would set up an ambush in the wrong place, and Cao Fei had already confirmed the ambush locations.
This is also the reason why Cao Fei was unwilling to change his tactics before and open fire to attract the opponent: if he easily changed his routine, all the methods he prepared later would have to be modified, which in itself was a very troublesome matter.
Soon, about two or three minutes after Cao Fei and the others withdrew from the sniper position, several soldiers from the Dahua Empire took the risk and climbed out of the trench. They quickly dragged the Dahua sniper who was shot back to the trench.
Inside, there was soon no trace.
Several other snipers from the Dahua Empire who came after hearing the news saw their companions who had become corpses. The Dahua sniper who had killed five Fengjiang snipers before knelt down on one knee and checked the sniper's back.
of two bullet holes.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Both bullets are deadly." A sniper said while looking at the corpse of his companion stained red with blood.
Cao Fei actually overestimated the battlefield medical level of the Dahua Empire. In fact, the first shot he fired was already very fatal to the Dahua Empire.
Although the second last shot was not fatal in Cao Fei's opinion, in fact these two shots were already a death sentence for the snipers of the Dahua Empire.
The opponent does not have observers on hand to provide immediate rescue, nor does it have very advanced hemostatic tools such as tourniquets. Being hit by a single shot is often fatal.
"Do you know the angle of firing?" the Dahua sniper with the most experience and best marksmanship asked his companions, staring at the corpse.
His companions all shook their heads: "It was a few soldiers on the position who heard the gunshots and thought something was wrong. They took the risk to come over and have a look, and then dragged his body back. The scene was completely destroyed and they didn't know where he was heading."
.”
Cao Fei once again overestimated his opponent's level. He deliberately left the ambush point that the opponent didn't guess at all. He was just ogling a blind man, and his expression was completely wasted.
However, although the opponent did not immediately determine the fake position where Cao Fei fired, the opponent still had his own advantages.
Just listen to a Dahua sniper say: "There are only a few suitable positions nearby. Each of us should find a seat and find this damn guy!"
"That's right!" His tactics were immediately followed by others. They have a large number of people and can take care of many places around them. As long as they arrange manpower in every place, the opponent will definitely not be able to escape from their Wuzhishan.
The old gunner frowned. He walked to the edge of the trench, chose a relatively hidden position, stuck his head out, and looked at the high ground in the distance.
I don't know if it was a coincidence, but the mound he was looking at was the location where Cao Fei and the others had just opened fire. He retracted his head, and then stood there and thought carefully.
Just by looking at it, he judged that the shooting position he guessed was at least 370 meters away from him. This was the unique experience of an old hunter like him.
Even with a 4x scope, it was unlikely to hit the target at this distance. He thought he couldn't do it...
What he didn't know was that a whole set of sniper-specific measuring equipment had been born in the world, instruments that could calculate wind speed, higher-level magnifications, and more accurate sniper rifles.
So he could only rely on his own experience to judge, which was a cognitive limitation: he felt that the opponent was unlikely to fire at that distance, and even if the opponent was accurate, it would be impossible for him to hit the target with two consecutive shots.
However, as an old hunter, he had a keen intuition. Although his reason and experience told him that it was impossible for someone to fire and hit the target at such a long distance, his intuition still made him doubt the small mound.
The other snipers immediately ruled out the suspicion of the small mound, but he always suspected that small mound, stubborn suspicion...
Therefore, when other snipers chose an ambush position, preparing to deal with the "fake targets" that Cao Fei deliberately left for them, he chose a place that he thought was good.
He himself didn't know why he chose such a place, everything seemed to come from his illusory intuition.
After choosing his position, the experienced hunter also deliberately warned a fellow sniper, hoping that he would be more careful after entering the position.
Because according to his intuition, the location of the sniper was probably a trap dug by the opponent's sniper.
It's a pity that he didn't have any basis for his judgment. After all, his judgment was based on an almost impossible assumption from the beginning: someone successfully sniped from 400 meters away!
He couldn't say this hypothesis because no one here would believe what he said. Everyone would laugh at his hypothesis and throw his words aside.
