I asked you to escape, but you became a soldier in World War II

Chapter 20 Life and Death Sniper (Part )

When Lin Chen returned to the building in a miserable state, everyone had already learned everything from "Clockwork". No one blamed Lin Chen for retreating, because after the recent battles, everyone understood how cruel war was.

If we had to choose to fight hard, what would be the final result? The blind counterattack at the beginning of this battle was a painful lesson.

"Lin, we must avenge Comrade Yegovich!" "Clockwork" and Yegovich have the deepest feelings. The two fled all the way from Kiev together, and then grew up together to become excellent Soviet soldiers.

"We want revenge, but we must be strategic. We can't fight head-on, do you understand what I mean?" Lin Chen put his hands on Bedrovich's shoulders. He was afraid that the other party would do something stupid.

But Bedrovich was obviously no longer a reckless man and nodded heavily.

"Lin, according to the latest battle report sent by the division commander today, the German army has sent elite snipers to the front line to fight snipers with snipers. The sniper team formed by our 62nd Army has suffered heavy losses." Pavlov handed over a telegram with a sad face.

"How is Comrade Vasily?" He is now a household hero in the Soviet Army, ranking first in the number of enemy kills.

In the eyes of Soviet soldiers, he could not be defeated, so "Clockwork" asked this question.

"I'm not sure, but I heard from comrades at the ferry that the German army sent the principal of a sniper school to deal with him." Pavlov didn't know much.

But Lin Chen knew clearly that although the final outcome was that Konings died under Vasily's gun, which made him a god in one battle, it was unclear when he was killed. So who ambushed him today?

It’s really a headache. Today’s German sniper is so terrifying. It’s hard to imagine what kind of people will be able to deal with Vasily?

Lin Chen understood that he was not a professional sniper, and there was definitely a gap between him and these professional players.

However, he also has an advantage that they don't have, that is, he can predict danger. He had already sensed this during today's ambush. If it weren't for this premonition, he would have died today without a doubt.

Another point is the modern combat concept, which is definitely the shortcoming of these German troops.

A bold anti-sniper combat plan formed in his mind.

******
The next morning, after enjoying a carefully prepared medium-rare steak and drinking red wine, Hessler went out with a sniper rifle on his back.

He was extremely dissatisfied with the quality of the steak and red wine. They said it was medium-rare, but in fact it was more than eight-point rare. It was obviously overcooked, and there were strips of beef stuck in the gaps between his teeth.

As for the red wine, it was not mellow enough. I wonder if it was a wild brand produced in some small estate.

But this was the best meal Jingke could provide for him; the rest of them were just eating cold bread.

While comforting the orderly who complained about not knowing how to fry steak, Jingke told him a story that was popular in the German sniper community.

It is said that some people felt that Konings's marksmanship was too lifelike and might be difficult to match, so they went to him to challenge him in marksmanship.

The method of the competition is very simple, to see who can hit a coin from a hundred meters away.

The challenger hit the target with one shot, causing everyone to cheer.

Unexpectedly, Konings struck back and not only hit the target with his first shot, but also fired five bullets in succession, breaking the coin into five equal parts.

This is how the title of German Sniper God came about.

Although Hessler's sniping skills could not be so amazing, as his most proud disciple, how bad could they be?
Heisler didn't know that Gink was telling the story of him and his teacher. He was lying motionless in the ruins 600 meters away from the building where Pavlov and others were. There were people in the building, but none of them were the target he wanted to kill.

He didn't really want to kill unknown people with his gun.

So his first target was the Soviet sniper carrying a sniper rifle, followed by the officers.

But unfortunately, today Lin Chen and "Clockwork" happened to go to the hideout where Jingke and other German troops were entrenched, and the two of them just happened to pass by each other.

Pavlov was obviously not an officer, so after waiting for a whole day, Hessler had to leave in disappointment.

Lin Chen did not shoot to kill the enemy. He knew that he needed to save the most precious bullets for the German sniper, as this man posed too great a threat to him.

On the way back, an abandoned cigar butt caught his attention.

This kind of cigarette butt is very unique. Not only does no one in the Soviet army smoke it, it is also rare even in the German army.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Lin Chen in a daze, Fa Tiao came up and asked.

"That person was here today!" Lin Chen was very sure.

"The German sniper who killed Yegovitch?"

"Yes!" Lin Chen's face was solemn. The other party must have been lying in such a position for a long time, but it seemed that he had not fired a single shot (there were no bullet shells on the ground), which showed that he had very high requirements for the target.

"Do you think you can kill him?" Bedrovich asked knowingly. He was a little scared and needed Lin Chen's confidence to encourage him.

"There's no point in deceiving yourself. My shooting skills may not be as good as his!" Lin Chen doesn't like this kind of bragging. It's meaningless. Bragging on the battlefield will either kill yourself or your teammates.

"Maybe we can use the same trick again, use a fake target to attract his shooting, and then you can kill him!"

Lin Chen shook his head. This kind of trick is possible for ordinary snipers, but it is very difficult for high-level snipers like this because they have all received courses on how to judge whether others are real targets.

Especially since the opponent was able to stay in this position for so long but only smoked a cigar and did not fire a single shot, it was enough to show that he was a very patient and restrained opponent.

"If it doesn't work, I'll go and attract him!" Bedrovich was also anxious. He wanted to avenge Yegovich so much.

Lin Chen knew what the consequences would be if he tried to attract firepower. Many later movies had such designs, and it was indeed very effective in reality. However, he really did not want to win by exchanging lives for each other, at least not yet.

"Do you know why he stayed here so long without firing a shot?"

Lin Chen did not respond to his words, but instead asked a less relevant question.

Seeing Bedrovich's bewildered face, he smiled bitterly and said, "That's because he didn't find any target worth shooting at in the scope. In other words, he came here specifically to snipe us!"

"So, if he wants to snipe us, there's probably no better position than here with a better view, so I guess he'll still appear in this area tomorrow."
