Chapter 113: The Battle of Tangji (9)
In this way, Zhang Chi can calm down and think:
Where will the Japanese sniper be transferred? There weren't many places to hide in the vicinity, and he couldn't have moved too far in such a short period of time, after all, he had been shooting and killing the soldiers around Zhang Chi all the time, and he had hardly stopped.
Craters?
Unlikely. There was indeed a crater near that location where he could hide, but there was a protruding rock above the crater, and if he was hiding in the crater, he would not be able to lock on to Zhang Chi's position even if he poked his head out.
So he's hiding behind rocks?!
It's also unlikely, although it is a good hiding place, but it is also a key part of the soldiers, and it is impossible for the soldiers to hide in Enfield and machine guns so recklessly and kill his comrades one after another without noticing.
So where is he hiding?
Zhang Chi couldn't help frowning.
Then Zhang Chi's gaze turned to the soldier next to him who was knocked down by the Japanese sniper...... Zhang Chi carefully observed the bullet hole in his head, and then recalled the soldier's posture before he died, and even Zhang Chi also posed in a similar position to him in the trench, and then deduced the general direction of the bullet.
After a while, Zhang Chi opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time, the Japanese sniper was still in place, and he didn't move his position at all.
This may be incomprehensible, because it is the most basic common sense of a sniper to change places with a shot, but it is precisely because this is common sense that Zhang Chi took it for granted that he was not in the same place, and this psychology was used by Japanese snipers.
What's more, the Japanese sniper also made a trick, there were originally two corpses there, and Zhang Chi took a look and found that one body was missing...... The corpse itself won't move, and the missing corpse is naturally a sniper pretending to be a corpse!
Who would have thought that it was the corpses that moved, and it was the snipers who remained in place.
Zhang Chi didn't guess wrong, Narita Shino used this method to avoid Zhang Chi's eyes, he simply pushed the corpse in front of him into the crater, and then lay there in the shape of the corpse.
Of course, Narita Shino was still very dangerous in doing so, because he could not guarantee that a stray bullet or shrapnel would hit him. But what is it to take this risk in order to avenge Shunsuke? What's more, this is still a war, not to mention that the Japanese army behind him still suppressed the enemy's firepower in this direction for him, intentionally or unintentionally.
But he didn't know that Zhang Chi had discovered his trick at this time.
This should be blamed on him for being too light on the enemy, or it can be said that he is too eager for revenge...... Otherwise, if he didn't kill those inconsequential soldiers and forced Zhang Chi to come out and fight him to the death, maybe Zhang Chi wouldn't have discovered him at all.
Now that Zhang Chi has determined the position of the Japanese sniper, there is no longer any need to hesitate.
Zhang Chi decided to surprise the Japanese snipers as well...... He also climbed back to where he had been, where he had almost been killed by Japanese snipers, and then checked his rifle in the trench, took a small breath, and then suddenly leaned out and pulled the trigger on the "corpse".
"Bang", "bang"......
Zhang Chi only had time to fire two bullets, and the corpse flipped into the crater, and its movements were so fast that Zhang Chi didn't even know if he had hit the target.
In fact, the moment Zhang Chi leaned out of the trench and raised his rifle, Narita Shino realized that something was wrong, so he didn't plan to aim at the target at all...... He knew that the target was to shoot as soon as he was ready to lean out, and no matter how fast he reacted, he would not be able to kill him before the target could shoot, so the wisest choice was to escape.
Clever snipers always think of an evacuation plan and retreat route before they lurk, and even if there is more than one retreat route.
Narita Shino's retreat method was to turn over and hide in the crater, but he was still a step slower, and the moment he rolled into the crater, he felt a faint pain in his abdomen, as if he had been hit by something.
Narita Shino, who had been injured before, knew that he had been shot, and immediately tore off his military uniform to check the injury after he climbed into the crater...... Fortunately, the bullet only passed through the side, and did not break the bones or blood vessels, but it still hurt so much that Narita Shino broke out in a cold sweat.
He took out the first aid kit and treated the wound as quickly as possible, and then grabbed the gun and was about to get up and go to the Chinese to settle the account, but he struggled a few times and couldn't get up, so he had to give up.
"Damn!" Narita Shino scolded: "It's still a light enemy, but I'm not dead yet, I'll always find a chance!" ”
This time, Zhang Chi did not retract his head, because he had already locked on the position of the Japanese sniper, and if the Japanese sniper dared to come out again, he was sure to kill him...... This is also the advantage of the Enfield rifle in Zhang Chi's hand, the ammunition capacity is twice that of the 38 big cover, and the loading time is much faster than the 38 big cover, which undoubtedly gives Zhang Chi more opportunities.
In order not to let the Japanese snipers find their position, Zhang Chi moved a few meters sideways with his gun, holding a rifle and waiting.
But the target never poked its head out.
What Zhang Chi didn't know was that at this time, Narita Shino had already crawled back in the dead corner of his sight along the retreat route that had been set up for a long time.
This may be contrary to the spirit of bushido that the Japanese army has always pursued, but it is what a good sniper should do, because the sniper itself is a kind of wealth for the army, and this wealth is undoubtedly a huge waste if it fights the enemy the battlefield.
But Narita Shino didn't think about that, he just wanted to save his life to avenge Shunsuke, at least, he had to look at the enemy's corpse before he was willing, otherwise he wouldn't be able to return to China to confess to his elderly mother.
This may be the mentality of most Japanese soldiers, who only think about their own families and their brothers, but never think that their enemies also have family members and brothers, and even the Chinese should not be regarded as people in their eyes, but "big roads".
(Note: The Japanese meaning of Malu Da is "log" and "test object", which is a degrading name given to the victims when the Japanese Army's Unit 731 conducted experiments on living people)
After waiting for a while, the Japanese sniper did not come out, so Zhang Chi knew that he had hit him.
As for whether he is dead or not, we will have to wait until after this battle to find out.
However, Zhang Chi didn't have much hope for this, and his intuition told him that the Japanese sniper was not dead, and he was still staring at himself in the dark, waiting to give him a fatal blow at any time.
