Finland, front of the Mannerheim Line.

Simon Heyer and his companions, like a few days ago, stepped on their skis and returned to a secret supply point deep in the forest.

Here, Simon will spend a comfortable day eating a hot meal, taking a nice hot bath, and then sleeping well in his tent. After that, check your weapons, replenish your ammunition, and set off on your next safari with the Soviets.

After layers of famous and dark sentry posts, the sniper team led by Simon Haye finally arrived at the core area of the supply point.

Under the guidance of German instructors, the Finnish Army trained a large number of sniper groupings such as Simon's Squad. They were divided into groups of three or five snipers, and they were often able to wipe out Soviet convoys marching in small columns from a distance, without suffering any casualties themselves. It's only been 3 days since the start of the war, and Simon's team's record has soared to a full 34 people. And their team only has 3 snipers in total.

Now, the three-man team, short of ammunition, is slipping into a tent camp carefully camouflaged in a dense taiga with white cloaks. The tent camp, made of thick white canvas, was warm and difficult to detect by Soviet aerial frames because it was in the white dense forest and snow, which was a safe area for Finnish snipers.

Along the way, Simon also met many people who greeted him. Some of these people were about to leave for the battlefield, some had just returned like him, and many more were repairing in the camp and waiting for them.

Among these people, there are Finns, there are Swedes, there are Norwegians and even Danes. It is said that there were also British and even American volunteers to help fight the Soviet Union. But Simon had never seen these English-speaking volunteers from Britain and the United States.

Walking outside the tent in the central area, Simon walked in with 2 teammates.

Inside the tent, a group of people are eating around a smokeless stove. Seeing Simon come in, the people quickly stood up and made way for Simon to open an empty path to the stove.

Among them, a veteran who looked like a big man touched his oily mouth, turned around and walked towards Simon: "Our hero is back, let me give him a big hug!" ”

However, Simon soon reached out indifferently to stop him.

After removing the rifle on his back and carefully unloading the complicated set of equipment on his body, Simon gently put the equipment aside, and then had a simple handshake with the big man.

However, Dahan seems to be accustomed to Simon's cold attitude, and he is not embarrassed by Simon's refusal.

After greeting everyone present, Simon and his party also had a cutlery in their hands and leaned over to sit down.

The big man treated each of the hungry Simon's squad with a lunch box full of eggs and corn soup to reward these brave soldiers.

In order to conceal himself, Simon left the camp and ate dry "nutritious cookies". Faced with a rare thick soup, Simon naturally chose to take a big sip of it, and then breathed a long sigh of relief with a healed face.

"You're still so reckless." Simon, who hadn't drunk enough, added egg soup to himself while educating Dahan: "When you hugged just now, if you accidentally broke the precious set of night vision goggles on my body, do you think our serious German instructor will make you into a sausage?"

Suddenly, there was laughter in the tent, and even the German instructor who had been smiling all along.

"By the way, speaking of sausages, I'm a little hungry, and now there's no Bavarian smoked sausage, it's delicious." After drinking another bowl of egg soup, Simon was dissatisfied.

"Here's it." The big man in charge of the food took out 3 German smoked sausages like a trick and handed them to Simon.

Simon, who was chewing smoked sausages in his mouth and adding the third box of thick soup, thought about it and reported to the German instructor in a time-saving manner:

"Instructor, this night vision device is really very useful at night, and at a distance of 300 meters, we can almost guarantee that we can see everything in the night. In this way, even if the Soviets did not light a bonfire at night after learning to be smart, we would still be able to see them clearly and shoot them. No matter how they hide with the help of the night, in the night vision device, their every move is exposed! ”

Simon paused to take a sip of the hot soup and continued to summarize to the instructor:

"But it's also a big problem. Although it is really good to use, the infrared headlights of this thing are too power-intensive, and a battery will not last long at all.

And I don't know how this battery is used, and the use time is only 50% of the original estimated time, so we have to cancel the time of each infrared lamp. And the infrared light is not very stable when working, and one ambush was because the infrared light suddenly did not work and let a big fish go.

…… Also, the weight and volume of this equipment is still a bit large, and it takes a team to operate effectively, so it would be nice if it could be improved. ”

After chattering on and on about this, Simon had finished eating the smoked sausage.

To be honest, his voice as he ate was not clear, but the German instructor barely understood.

Simon, who looked hungry, cut another piece of black bread with a bayonet, soaked it in the hot soup until soft, and ate it to himself.

At this time, an unfamiliar face wearing glasses stood out in the crowd, and after pushing down his glasses, he said coldly in a voice without a trace of emotion:

"We can't solve the high power consumption of infrared lamps, after all, these are just taken out of the laboratory, and the stability of the work is not very high. No one can expect a test to be as reliable. Moreover, it is still in a cold place like Finland, and such a low temperature also makes the lead-acid battery work less efficient. We hadn't thought about it before. ”

The man with glasses had a typical Germanic face, so Simon immediately guessed that he was a scientist from the same country as the German instructor.

Fortunately, the man with glasses spoke fluent Finnish, so that most of the people here could understand what he said in his super-fast speed?

The man with glasses, who didn't know how dull he looked, continued: "We were pleasantly surprised that the battery could work half as long as it was originally designed, and there was nothing to complain about. As for the volumetric weight you mentioned, our domestic researchers are working on this, and it is said that they have been able to carry a single soldier and integrate night vision devices into Zeiss scopes. But I don't think the Finnish army can wait for these new products to come in."

"Hiccup...... Again with the sausages! Simon hiccups at the big man who manages the sausage resources.

"Huh? ....... That, you go on, and I'll listen. Remembering that there seemed to be a poker face next to him who had been chattering about something, Simon nodded seriously as if he hadn't ignored the other party just now.

The poker face is not stupid, and after understanding that the other party is not interested in listening to his professional knowledge, he immediately closed his mouth in interest.

"Well, I won't talk to you about that." Poker Face shook his head and pulled out a telegram and handed it to Simon: "There's a mission here, if you're willing to carry it out, take the members of your group and follow me to get new gear after eating." ”

Just coming back and leaving? It's not even time to get a good night's sleep! The surrounding Finnish soldiers were a little worried about whether Simon would be able to eat.

"Do you want to accept it? If it doesn't work, I'll go find someone else. Poker Face stared at Simon with an indifferent face: "There are many sniper teams with good records, but there is not much time left for you." ”

"You can't wait......," a kind Finnish lieutenant refused, standing up for the attempt.

"Bang!" Before the second lieutenant could finish speaking, everyone saw Simon smash the lunch box on the ground, stood up and said, "Let me go!" ”

This sudden scene stunned everyone, but when people moved their eyes to Simon's face, they clearly saw his pounding green muscles and clenched teeth!

What the hell is written on that piece of paper?!

"Got it figured? Well, even though my role in this war is just a spectator, I can't help but remind you that this mission has a good chance that you will never return. Besides, with your current physical condition, no one will blame you even if you refuse. Ignoring the puzzled gazes of the others, Poker looked at Simon Dao with some approval.

"If I shirk this task now, I may regret it for the rest of my life." Simon straightened his crumpled collar and said indifferently: "If I don't kill a hundred enemies this time, I'm sorry for those unjust souls who died tragically." The Soviets did something wrong, and I had to teach them what a cost to do so! ”

Simon's eyes no longer have the bland and calm at the beginning, but instead there are blazing eyes that are extremely angry. He needs a vent!
