Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 927: Hunting and Sniping
"You want to dispatch the plane to find those heavy artillery positions?" Walking out of Zhao Yu's room, Zhao Zheng looked at Zhao Feng, a "royal family member" whom he had never known before: "It is estimated to be 250 artillery pieces, I have seen them before."

Zhao Feng shook his head and explained: "The airport is no longer safe. Most of the planes have been transferred to the airport further south. According to the plan, Fengjiang will soon become a battlefield."

"The Tang Empire is planning to build a bridge in the Cangjian Gorge?" Zhao Zheng asked tentatively, expressing his speculation.

"It's not a secret, it's true. It doesn't matter if Fengjiang is lost, anyway, in a few months, the road to the Cangjian Gorge will be open." Zhao Feng mentioned this, his face full of pride.He doesn't need to pretend, he is indeed working for the Tang Empire.

Sure enough, Zhao Zheng looked envious, and continued to ask: "But there is no way to build a bridge in Cangjian Gorge. Could it be that there is any special way for the Tang Empire?"

"I don't know about that. It's all about technology. I don't know. I only know that Fengjiang doesn't need to invest any more power to fight back." Zhao Feng shook his head and said: "I guess, if there is another In ten days, their 150 cannons can reach Fengjiang."

He really doesn't know how to build the bridge in Cangjian Gorge. The canyon is so big that there is almost no way to build bridge piers. So for so many years, the Dahua Empire has not built a bridge to pass through Cangjian Gorge.

This is also the reason why the Tang Empire advanced to Cangjian Gorge and then stopped: this place is indeed a natural danger, and it seemed very appropriate to regard it as the border between the two countries at the time.

It's just that now, with the development of time and the prosperity of the economy, this canyon is obviously not suitable for continuing to exist.After seeing all kinds of bridges built by infrastructure madmen, Tang Mo casually pointed them out, and the bridge-building level of the Tang Empire naturally improved by leaps and bounds.

That's why there was a plan to build a bridge in the Cangjian Gorge, and a plan to use Fengjiang as a bait and a battlefield to consume the Dahua army here.

"What about us? Really follow to Shanping?" Zhao Zheng was a little worried again, he was worried that he would be abandoned in the end.

"It's okay, even if the bridge over the Cangjian Gorge can't be repaired, we still have a way to go to Datang." After a word of comfort, Zhao Feng ended the topic.

He looked down on Zhao Zheng a bit, although Zhao Zheng's status in the Great Hua Empire was indeed much higher than Zhao Feng's, but Zhao Feng was now a member of the Great Tang Empire.

So Zhao Feng has a sense of superiority towards Zhao Zheng, a countryman who has never even seen a helicopter. This feeling will appear as soon as he acquiesces that he is from Tang Dynasty...

With Zhao Feng's guarantee, Zhao Zheng felt a lot more comfortable - he has been completely excluded now, and what he fears most is that he has no use value and is then abandoned.

You know, his family is still going from Shu to Chu, so he can't help being nervous at this time.

……

On the messy position of the Dahua army, a man with a rifle on his back has sharp eyes. He is the sniper who has just arrived at the front line, and he is here to hunt and kill the sniper of the Fengjiang army.

His rifle is very special, with a short optical sight on it: compared with the eight-fold scope made by the Tang Empire, this thing is indeed not too long.

Because it is fixed to the body of the gun, and there are no adjustment parts, it does not require special protection.

"I heard that you have been attacked by snipers?" Standing in the relatively concealed temporary command post, the man asked the company commander who was sitting there counting supplies in a slightly hoarse voice.

The company commander raised his head, glanced at the other party and replied: "Yes, one of our platoon leaders was killed, and there are two other soldiers."

"Is there a suspected location?" asked the sniper.

"Yes! It's probably near the small highland. Another suspected place is an abandoned trench over there." The company commander pulled out a piece of paper from the table, on which was a hand-drawn and scribbled map.He pointed to it and said a few simple words, introducing the situation.

"Hasn't there been shelling?" The sniper asked curiously. The three people on the other side have been dead for several days. Even if they applied for shelling, those places have already been covered by shelling once, right?
The company commander sneered, and replied: "I applied, but there is no artillery support there yet. A platoon leader and two soldiers are probably worthless, right?"

The artillery shells of the Dahua Empire are actually relatively expensive. After advancing more than 100 kilometers eastward from Hezhe, the number of artillery shells that can be transported to the front line has not been large.

This also includes the shells consumed by supporting the attack. After all, attacking Fengjiang seems to be a more worthy choice to invest more shells than to catch a few snipers.

The sniper didn't say much nonsense, carefully picked up the sketch, and studied the position on it.

After a while, he asked the company commander who was still busy: "Can you mark the exact location of the three dead people? I need an accurate judgment."

"Yes! Probably here, here, here... three people." The company commander outlined the position of the trench on the map, and then marked it with three crosses: "The opening of the position at that time..."

"You are a good company commander." The sniper praised the other party when he saw that the position marked was very clear and his speech was very orderly.

"Thank you!" The company commander put down the work in hand: "Do you want me to take you to see those two places? Perhaps, you will have a different opinion?"

"That's really great." The sniper thanked quickly, and then followed the company commander to the place where the three people had an accident.

Frankly speaking, after seeing the trench destroyed by artillery fire, the sniper felt that the death of the three people was not wronged: the terrain here is not conducive to concealment, it is very open, and stopping here is simply inviting the sniper to shoot and explode. own head.

"How is it?" The company commander didn't dare to show his head, and stood at the end of the destroyed trench, leaning against the pit wall and asked back.

"I want to stay here. If you have something to do, you can go back." The sniper leaned on the other side of the bunker and said.

The company commander nodded slightly, and then walked away along the way back.There was only one sniper left, took off his weapon, and began to compare carefully.

He agreed with the company commander's judgment that the other party was probably hiding near the small slope in the distance, but from the point of view, it was not easy to judge whether he was hiding above or below.

As for the other hiding place, he had seen it when he first came here, and it was also an excellent hiding place.However, he felt that if it was him, he would prefer to choose a mound with a wider view.

Snipers hunt each other, the process is almost the same as hunting.It takes patience and a little bit of luck.

After roughly determining the position of the opponent, the sniper of the Dahua Empire set up a simple "position" on the spot.

He built a small hiding place with his raincoat, covered it with some soil, camouflaged it, and got a better shooting angle.

Then, lying under his raincoat, he waited patiently, waiting for the target to bite the bait he had set: he set up a dummy with a steel helmet, trying to attract the opponent to fire first to reveal his position.

Of course, if you stare at this dummy carefully for a while, you will know that it is a dummy. If the opponent insists not to shoot, this Dahua sniper has nothing to do.

Are you really looking for living people as bait?Who wants to be this bait?This is not a movie, what idiot would sacrifice himself to help a sniper find the enemy's position?
Sure enough, after a day of patiently crouching, the Dahua sniper did not wait for the target he wanted to find.

He returned to the camp held by his own army, ate something, and then fell asleep to the sound of the evening artillery.

Early the next morning, he heard two things. The first thing was that after a day and a night of hard work, the troops of the Dahua Empire advanced another 500 meters!Another thing is that in the company he went to yesterday, another soldier was killed by an enemy sniper this morning while washing.

The other party was very professional and only fired one shot. The soldier who just woke up and was about to clean his beard was shot through his head.

This means that the opponent's sniper didn't leave at all, so the snipers from the nearby Dahua Empire started another day of investigation.

Because the previous three corpses had been disposed of long ago, the snipers of the Dahua Empire did not see the corpses of these people.

Now, there was a new body, so the sniper rushed over to see the fresh body.

From the point of view of the bullet, he probably determined the opponent's position.Then he came to a suitable position with his rifle and lurked again.

In the afternoon, the sniper of the Dahua Empire, who was lurking, saw a weed in the distance seemed to move, so he focused all his attention on that weed.

Soon, he looked through the scope and saw a scope hidden behind the grass: the opponent was hidden very well, and it was impossible to find it without looking carefully.

What's even more interesting is that this opponent deliberately chose a little below the hill, which although lost part of the field of vision, increased concealment.

"Goodbye! Idiot!" Through the scope, the sniper of the Dahua Empire had already set the target on the front sight, and pulled the trigger.

"Boom!" A crisp gunshot echoed in the sky, and the hidden sniper in the distance was shot, and blood splashed from the grass could be clearly seen through the scope.

The enemy's sniper rifle also fell and fell out of the grass.
