Chapter 343: The Attacker's Patience
Hou Dasheng was very patient, he lay quietly in the grass and watched the people on the position come and go. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info There is no entertainment at night on the African front. A group of black soldiers laughed and shouted around the fire, and then they went back to their bunkers to sleep.
Looking at the time, before nine o'clock, there were fewer people next to the fire. In the end, all that was left was three or four sentinels on duty. Of course, Hou Dasheng also discovered six secret posts and three patrol teams. Perhaps because they felt that the second-line positions were safer, their patrol routes were relatively fixed.
The position of the secret whistle was also touched by Hou Dasheng. But until now, Hou Dasheng has not seen any personnel similar to civilians or commanders coming and going, which makes him very strange. It's just that the civilian personnel can't see it, and they can't even see the command staff.
This is very strange. Hou Dasheng moved his body slightly, especially the fingers on the gun. Then, slowly getting up in the night, he decided to change the observation point and continue to observe. If there are no civilians and commanders, it only means that this is not the core area.
Along the second-line position of the Namibian army, Hou Dasheng quickly touched the end of the position. In order to be able to observe more accurately, Hou Dasheng could only move his position forward as much as possible. Soon, he was on the edge of a bush less than three hundred meters from the position.
With the help of the cover of the bushes, Hou Dasheng slowly lay down and continued to observe the Namibian position with scopes and night vision devices. Finally, here Hou Dasheng saw the figure he hoped to see. He let out a deep sigh, and two black figures with pistols appeared in the scope side by side.
They were talking in a low voice, but unfortunately Hou Dasheng couldn't understand it. But this did not hinder Hou Dasheng's excitement, and the chances of civilian personnel appearing in parallel were very high. Especially during this kind of time, the command staff will definitely travel with the service personnel.
Moreover, they cannot be parallel. If it is two command staff, then there must be an orderly or guard behind them. But Hou Dasheng didn't see any of these people, only two black officers with pistols in tow, walking side by side. This suggests that they are most likely civilians.
Exhaling softly, Hou Dasheng kept his breathing steady and quietly observed the whereabouts of the two figures. The presence of civilian personnel indicates that the chain of command is on the sidelines. Hou Dasheng is still unable to judge whether they are civilian subordinate to the front-line command system or civilian to the general command.
But no matter which part of the command, Hou Dasheng can at least find a direction that can break through. Keep silent, keep watching. Hou Dasheng soon discovered that they had entered a shelter with lights. Although the bunker is somewhat disguised, the dim lights are easy to overlook if you don't have night vision devices.
But Hou Dasheng still found out there, and with a slight smile, Hou Dasheng felt that he had at least mastered a direction that could lead to the other party's commander. If you can't take out their commander, then you can't take out their front-line commander. Hou Dasheng didn't limit himself anything, as long as he killed an important commander of the other party.
Sending their chain of command and junior officers into a panic will have the effect he has to do. In the first half of the night, Hou Dasheng did not focus all his energy on the observation of the bunker, but observed for a while, thinking that there would be no changes. He put himself into a state of rest.
But he didn't rest for long, only in the middle of the night he woke up once. At this time, he found that the lights of the bunker were still on, and Hou Dasheng knew in his heart that this was the opponent's forward command post. Because during this period, he was also able to see civilian personnel coming and going from time to time with different pistols.
There are even commanders with security personnel coming in and out, which makes Hou Dasheng even more sure that this is at least the command system of the front line. And maybe even the chain of command of the entire garrison.
Holding the gun, Hou Dasheng still kept a calm observation. The other party's command system has been roughly confirmed. But the supreme commander of the opposing side, or which of them is a worthwhile and worthy figure to snipe. Hou Dasheng is still unable to make a judgment.
The hustle and bustle here lasted until dawn. Hou Dasheng took a few naps in the middle, but the busyness here is still the same. This made Hou Dasheng have to wonder if this is the general headquarters of the Namibian side. Yes or no, Hou Dasheng doesn't mind now.
As long as there is a character here that makes him think that it is worth his shot. Then Hou Dasheng will not hesitate to kill the other party with one shot, and then collect the gun and leave. Of course, if there is no target here that he thinks is worthwhile, Hou Dasheng will also collect the gun. The conversion area then proceeds to look for valuable targets.
Don't think that a sniper will shoot. There are times when it is more difficult for a sniper to choose not to shoot than to choose to shoot. And Hou Dasheng has now begun to slowly come to this point. You need to know that you spend hours, even days, and half a month squatting on a goal.
And at this time, a "suspected" target appears in front of you. One, you can't be sure if this target is the one you're going to attack. Two, you can't find the best angle of attack, maybe you can't even be sure of 30% of a shot.
At this time, do you shoot or not?! If, the other party is going to disappear in front of you. You're only 30% sure of hitting right now, and you can't be sure that the other person is the target right now. So do you shoot, or don't shoot?! A good sniper needs more than just endurance. They also require great restraint.
Putting away the gun is sometimes a more difficult option than firing. Shooting means a chance, but it also means that you have to kill the other party's intentions. This exposure is sometimes fatal and can make you slide into the abyss. Lost your life.
Hou Dasheng knew when he should put away his gun, so he simply did not choose to shoot at this time. Despite what appeared to be a command position, there were a few commanding staff members who seemed to be of higher status. But Hou Dasheng still didn't shoot.
"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!! …… ......Bursts of gunfire and explosions were heard, and even the roar of "buzzing ......" airplanes could be heard in the sky. Apparently, today the Namibian side's offensive on the positions of the Rwandan army has begun again.
Hou Dasheng was still unmoved, he just kept a quiet watch. But the night vision device on his head had been taken off by him, because it was already bright at this time. As the offensive began, groups of soldiers were mobilized. From time to time, groups of soldiers were deployed to the front-line positions to provide support.
At the same time, batches of wounded soldiers were also carried down from the front-line positions. The rear or flank of this command should be a field hospital. Because Hou Dasheng could find that the wounded soldiers were carried over from here. Then the field hospital should be around.
Field hospitals, as a rule, are not too far from the headquarters. The presence of wounded soldiers and possible field hospitals here also corroborates the very likely situation of a front-line command here. Hou Dasheng continued to observe according to the gun, and at this time, some of them were likely to be senior commanders.
With three or two guards, they hurriedly passed by the position, and then went straight into the bunker of the suspected headquarters that Hou Dasheng observed. After a long time, he left in a hurry with the guards. Hou Dasheng exhaled deeply, he knew that he needed to be more patient now.
Yes, a little more patience than a little bit. He needs to wait, wait until a worthy target appears. Waiting for what he thought was the most worthwhile shot. Although it seems that several worthy targets have appeared, even Hou Dasheng still has the opportunity to shoot.
But he held back. He believes that with patience, more valuable goals will emerge. The fighting continued until noon, when the gunfire and explosions gradually stopped. A large number of wounded soldiers began to be brought back, and it looked like they had made some gains. But the losses are not small.
Several Hou Dasheng had seen the commander who had just appeared, and appeared here again in bandages. And after they went in, they didn't come out for a long time. Even one after another, there are more commander-like figures that have just appeared or have not appeared.
Hou Dasheng's breathing was a little heavy, and he felt as if he had caught a big fish! The presence of so many commanding officers here means that this must be a high-level headquarters. And there is a field hospital on the side, which means that this is most likely the general headquarters of the Namibian side!
Although no one ever came out of the bunker again, Hou Dasheng did not relax his observation. He waited patiently, waiting for the opportunity to shoot.
An hour passed, and two hours passed quickly. Although nothing seemed to be of value reappeared, Hou Dasheng remained patiently observant. The sky gradually darkened, and Hou Dasheng put on the night vision device again. And the camp's bonfire was lit.
In the firelight, Hou Dasheng could see groups of guards and black soldiers suspected of being orderlies coming out of the bunker. After a while, they walked back with a rice bowl and entered the bunker.
Lowering his head, Hou Dasheng closed his eyes. When he raised his head again, he couldn't help but breathe a little heavy! Because, he saw some valuable people finally coming out of the bunker! And not one or two, but a group! The guards stood vigilantly around.
From the gap, Hou Dasheng could see that several characters who he had previously considered valuable were coming out! (To be continued.) )
