Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 946 A shot in the rain

Those seemingly insignificant military equipment can actually determine the life and death of soldiers at the grassroots level in many cases. They inadvertently change the decision-making of soldiers, reducing or increasing the casualty rate of soldiers.

For example, raincoats, waterproof fabrics, and thermal insulation materials do not seem to be very important at ordinary times, but once they are used, these things can give soldiers more and safer choices.

The snipers of the Tang Empire can use rainproof materials to build a concealed temporary sniper position, and they don't have to take risks to choose buildings that are always regarded as targets. This is their advantage.

Conversely, the snipers of the Dahua Empire did not have these novel gadgets. Although they had raincoats, the raincoats were purchased from civilian factories and the design was civilian designs, so many details were not very professional.

This kind of raincoat has not been specially treated, and the key parts are easy to be torn. At the same time, it is inconvenient to wear, so many soldiers are reluctant to use it.

When the country does not have much procurement funds, this situation is common: infantry shoes, raincoats, and water bottles are often used to make do with it, and it seems traditional to make people feel distressed.

However, with the abundance of funds and the decline of technology, those so-called traditions disappeared immediately.For example, aluminum water bottles will be replaced by plastic water bottles, and hip-pull canvas bags will become field backpacks...

The raincoat of Dahua Empire is really difficult to describe. When purchasing, it was changed casually with civilian raincoat. The style was originally the style of Tang Empire’s civilian work raincoat. It has a sleeve so that people can hold things in front.

Even if it has been improved, its practicality is actually not high: the glue coating is easy to fall off, the cuffs and hem are too large and easy to enter water, and it is impossible for soldiers to take it off quickly, and it does not support soldiers to carry too many other materials...

Therefore, the soldiers of the Dahua Empire are often unwilling to wear such uncomfortable raincoats when it rains. They would rather find a place with a roof to stay by themselves.

Therefore, many bunkers with covers were often built on the defensive positions of the Dahua Empire. They seemed to be used to prevent shelling, but in fact they were simple awnings.

During street fighting, the soldiers of the Dahua Empire were also more willing to enter buildings.Even though they know that these buildings are not safe and are easy to be attacked by the enemy, they still habitually choose these dangerous buildings in order to live comfortably in rainy weather.

At the very least, spare clothes, ammunition, weapons, and other materials that are afraid of wetness should be stored in these buildings to keep these things dry.

Such a small problem is actually not a problem if you don't go into it, but the snipers of the Tang Empire can use this habit to set up an ambush in advance, find the enemy's position, and calculate the position that the enemy will choose with a high probability.

Seeing that the rain outside did not decrease, the two snipers from the Great China Empire had no intention of moving their positions.

In fact, anyone who has played chicken-eating games knows that when a sniper hides, the general psychological state is actually very subtle: although your camouflage is very good, has anyone seen you hiding in that position? , in fact, it is impossible to say.

It seems that you are in a very good position lying in the grass, and you are wearing an auspicious suit, and your concealment level is quite high.But when you get down, someone may already be looking at you with a scope.

The other party may not shoot you immediately because they are concerned about others, or they may be looking for your comrades in arms, and it is even more likely that no one saw you get down at all... Unlike in the game, in reality you only have one chance to verify whether you have Do you feel horrible when you are discovered by the enemy?

If you climb one meter forward, will you just be seen by someone?You just poked your head out to observe the surrounding situation. Could it be that the opponent's sniper has aimed at your head?

Although your actions may arouse the vigilance of the enemy, is the enemy really vigilant?No one can tell!If you have to consider whether you have been discovered in all your actions, then there is no place for you to feel relieved on the entire battlefield.

So under normal circumstances, when snipers or artillery calibrators enter their positions, they will choose to use the darkness to cover themselves before dawn.

They will also observe for several days in a row to ensure that they will not move objects around them to arouse the vigilance of the other party. This is everyone's default life-saving rule.

Of course, following this rule can indeed reduce the risk of being discovered infinitely, but in reality, there are not many opportunities to enter the position perfectly, and everyone can only venture into the position or retreat out of the position.

The old Orion of the Dahua Empire actually didn't dare to think about it: if he gave up this good position now and went to find another position in the rain, there was a high probability that he would spend a day in the rain in vain.

If the weather was fine, he could have found another place because his comrades-in-arms had destroyed the environment near the ambush position, but now it was raining, so he finally chose to stay.

This is not a fluke mentality, but a kind of big heart cultivated in long-term combat: there is a limit to caution, and most of the time it is just scaring yourself.

He went to a room where the curtains on the windows were soaked, because there was no window and there was a puddle of water on the floor of the room.

The bed is a good thing. It can be used for sitting, and it can also be used to set up a sniper rifle. Moving other furniture in the room that is not near the window can form a good sniper position.

The old Orion was making a nest for himself, and in another room behind him, the Dahua sniper, who was eating some damp raw peanuts, was also preparing to set up his own sniper position.

He looked at the angle of the window in his own room, and then he tugged at a tattered table by the wall, preparing to move it into the middle of the room as a support for his rifle.

When he dragged the table to the middle of the room, what he didn't know was that his head had actually appeared in the scope of Cao Fei's sniper rifle.

"I aimed! The one with the gun on his back is dragging the table." Cao Fei reminded his companion.

"I saw him, you can shoot at any time." In the observer's telescope lens, through the rain curtain, he could see everything in the far window clearly.

The snipers of the Dahua Empire usually act alone, so Cao Fei did not check the number of opponents, but directly chose the best angle and pulled the trigger.

"Boom!" There was a sudden gunshot in the rain, and the bullet pierced through the rain curtain and flew straight towards the distant building.

Because there was no wind at the moment of shooting, and the rain was falling vertically, so Cao Fei just slightly raised the muzzle of the gun and pressed the aiming position on the opponent's helmet.

The bullet instantly spanned a distance of more than 300 meters and flew into the window of that person.The Dahua sniper, who was still dragging the table with both hands, saw blood sprayed on the bag of wet peanuts on the table.

Before he could react to what happened, he felt that his body was out of control, his strength was passing crazily, and he lost his support and was falling rapidly.

Driven by strength, the table in front of him fell down, making a loud bang, for some reason, he could hear it clearly.

Immediately afterwards, his whole body fell to the floor, and blood sprayed in front of his eyes. He subconsciously touched it with his hands, but only touched a hand of blood on his own neck.

"Help..." He opened his mouth to call out to his companion, but blood gushed out of his mouth.The bullet had gone through his neck, and now his carotid artery was like a fountain.

The old hunter in the other room heard gunshots, and soon heard the dull sound of something heavy hitting the floor.

Hearing the movement, the old Orion's first reaction was to find a safe bunker and hide. He lowered his figure and came to the door of his companion's house, but he didn't dare to enter the house easily to save others.

Just kidding, it's not very sure where the other party is hiding now, it's easy to become a target for others if you go in rashly, okay?So the old Orion found a relatively low position, poked his head out to look in the direction of the window, and confirmed that there was no commanding height outside the window.

Yes, he didn't look at his companion at all, and he didn't even ask what was going on with his companion right away.

It wasn't until he retracted his head that he asked, "Are you injured? Can you crawl over by yourself?"

The person who fell on the ground pressed the hole in his neck with both hands, and kicked his legs weakly on the ground. He could see the blood spreading around him, but he couldn't say a word.

The old Orion, who didn't hear the answer, changed his height, poked his head out again quickly, and looked in the direction of the window. This time he confirmed that as long as he was not standing, there seemed to be no angle around him that could hit him.

So he bent down slightly and pressed his head down, and in his busy schedule, he glanced at his companion lying on the ground, and only glanced at it.

Then, he gave up the idea of ​​venturing in to save people: just looking at the big pool of bright red blood in the room, he knew that the person inside was definitely hopeless.

The Great China Empire did not have as good a medical environment as the Great Tang Empire, and being injured was no different from death to the soldiers of the Great China Empire.

A dead body is not worth risking, so the old Orion didn't even take another look, leaning against the wall and listening to the struggle inside become less and less obvious.

"I'm sorry." He whispered to someone in the room who seemed to be out of hearing now.Because when he said this, the legs of the people in the room had stopped moving for a long time, the hands covering their necks had been slowly opened, and both arms had been spread flat on the ground, pressing on the ground. In blood.
