Chapter 945 946 Cabinet door in the wind and rain
In such rainy weather, the snipers of the Tang Empire are in better condition than the snipers of the Great China Empire.
They were provided with self-heating bags and hot water bottles, and there were observers who could help prepare some things in hidden places, so Tang Fei was very comfortable in a sniper bunker he found.
There is a hot water bottle next to him, which allows him to feel some warmth at any time. In addition, his clothes are also very warm, thanks to the level of the Tang Empire's chemical industry.
It is no exaggeration at all, because of the advancement of technology, many new materials have begun to appear, and the first to benefit are the soldiers fighting on the front line. The weatherproof material allows them to maintain body temperature and also allows them to fight more calmly.
This is an abandoned factory. About one-third of it collapsed, and the remaining two-thirds are actually dilapidated, with rain leaking everywhere.
Cao Fei and his partner hid on the side of the building. They found a broken door panel that no one wanted from the factory and covered it with a bomb crater, forming a small and hidden bunker.
This is really a very good hiding place. After covering it with some soil, an exit was reserved on the back. Cao Fei and his observer hid inside.
Although they are not worried about their clothes getting wet due to the rain, this is the front line after all, so it cannot be really that comfortable.
From the reserved exits and the surrounding gaps, rainwater leaked into the crater from time to time. The surrounding walls of the crater were very wet. In fact, the boots of Cao Fei and his comrades were already soaked through.
They wore raincoats to keep them dry. Coupled with the blessing of hot water bottles, their body temperature was best maintained in this slightly cool weather. For a soldier, this is actually a very happy thing.
“If that doesn’t work, take off your shoes, otherwise your feet will be ruined.” The observer was obviously a little irritated. He really didn’t want to go out to “hunt” in this kind of weather.
“How can I run after taking off my shoes?” Cao Fei smiled and took his eyes away from the scope. He had been observing the abandoned building in the distance because it was an excellent sniper position.
If he were the opponent's sniper, he would also choose such a place. It's risky, but worth trying.
Of course, the reason he dared to try was that his weapon had a large enough range, and it was relatively safe there.
Now that the battle line is about a hundred meters away from the building, the opponent is likely to use that commanding height to search the surrounding area.
So even if the opponent is not a sniper, it is likely to be a high-value target such as an officer or observer.
"It's a full 390 meters away from us. Just kidding, they just saw us. Can they hit us?" the observer retorted disdainfully, but he didn't untie his shoelaces, so it was obvious that he was just talking happily. happy.
In fact, he really just complained. If he was really willing to improve his conditions, he should choose the location of the ambush in the factory building next to him.
Although there is rain there, it is still an excellent dry environment overall. It's a pity that this factory is a relatively conspicuous place nearby, and no one dares to enter here casually to wait for death.
To put it bluntly, when this factory building will completely collapse after being hit by a shell, it all depends on whether the artillerymen on both sides want to fire a shot at this place when they get up this morning.
In other words, if a certain artillery commander on a certain side is in a bad mood after eating too much this morning, the ruins of the factory building may become collapsed ruins.
That's why Cao Fei and the others deliberately avoided this possible target. If the other side had smart snipers, they would definitely focus their defense on this factory.
In this way, Cao Fei and the two men, who were hiding in the crater next to the factory, had better concealment and more opportunities to fire.
"I didn't want to come here today, but it's not a rainy day. The other side must have thought the same way. It's safe on rainy days. Come and observe from a commanding height..." Cao Fei had rested enough and picked up the telescope next to him and continued to watch. The building in the distance.
This is the real sniper battle: you can't know which window the opponent is on or when they will show up.
It is entirely possible that when you were waiting for your opponent with your gun, your opponent was still eating breakfast in his trench, and you just put down your gun and went to pee, and he passed by the gap that you had been aiming at for a long time...
Hence, the sniper spends far more time observing with the telescope than holding the gun. They need to repeatedly observe the surrounding situation and record every detail as much as possible.
In this regard, the snipers of the Tang Empire had an inherent advantage. The optical equipment in their hands was obviously more advanced than their opponents.
To put it bluntly, the telescopes issued to the snipers of the Tang Empire were better than the telescope cherished by Zhao Chen. In fact, buildings similar to the one Cao Fei observed with a telescope are in most cases a target reference deliberately reserved by the defending side.
If all the buildings on the front line are razed to the ground, then observations and the like will be affected. At the same time, retaining these buildings can also reserve a hunting ground for your own snipers.
Everyone is making calculations and waiting for the opportunity for the other party's personnel to gather in large numbers around these buildings. When the time comes, a round of artillery fire that kills and injures a large number of enemy troops is not much better than destroying a dilapidated building?
And sometimes, it is not so easy to destroy a building: it is possible that if more than a dozen shells are fired in a row, the remains of the building will not fall down. This is why cities like Stalingrad still have many The buildings stay.
Of course, the attacking side is even less willing to destroy the building. The first and most important reason is that the ruins and rubble in the city itself are natural obstacles to the attack.
Furthermore, the attacking party was originally to capture the city. If they destroyed the buildings at all costs, what was the purpose of capturing the city?
“You are right.” The observer poured the water from a plastic sheet used to collect rainwater into a container, and then threw the self-heating bag into it.
The water here will boil quickly, and filling them with a hot water bottle will make their little life more comfortable. This thing is indeed very convenient, especially in such a small environment where fire cannot be made.
Dahua soldiers without these equipment are unwilling to go out to fight in this weather, even if Fengjiang's annoying aircraft cannot be dispatched in such weather.
There was no more noisy engine sound in the sky, but the surroundings were not silent. The sound of rain hitting the ground even obscured the seemingly endless sound of artillery fire not far away.
At this moment, Cao Fei's expression suddenly became serious. He stopped moving and stared at a window in the building without moving for a long time: "Third floor, fifth window from the left!"
The observer immediately became nervous. He moved to the gap next to him, picked up his telescope, and found the window that Cao Fei told him.
"Did you see it? The door of the cabinet inside..." Cao Fei reminded his partner: "It was closed before."
"Yes, I saw it. It was indeed closed before." The observer was very sure that the door of the cabinet was indeed closed before.
"Someone opened it! There was no shelling around here, it can't be because of the shock!" Cao Fei put down his telescope, picked up his sniper rifle, and pointed his scope at the window over there again.
He searched for each window one by one, carefully observing the changes in each window. With the blessing of the eight-fold mirror, he could see every bullet mark and every detail on the wall of the building through the rain curtain.
…
In the distant building, the old hunter from the Dahua Empire looked speechlessly at his comrade who had found a bag of peanuts.
“I told you not to touch things after you come in!” Some old hunters who were worried that they had been exposed complained.
"What are you afraid of? Isn't there an anti-landmine convention?" The sniper who came with him shook the peanuts in his hand and said proudly: "You should see every room here, otherwise you will miss many good things. thing."
As he spoke, he pointed at the peanuts in his hand: "The further you go, the closer you are to the aristocratic district of Fengjiang. People here are rich and will leave a lot of things behind when they run away. If you are willing to look through it, If you look around, you can find a lot of food.”
“Although most of them are no longer edible, there will still be some that are not broken.” The sniper picked up a peanut and stuffed it into his mouth, eating it with gusto.
"You can't eat anything if you lose your life!" The old Orion looked at the guy who was acting with him and reminded him with dissatisfaction: "If someone finds you here, you will probably lose your life."
"Okay, okay! Old man! I know you are the most powerful hunter here, I know." The sniper shrugged, indicating that he had accepted the other party's kindness.
Old Orion stopped talking. He found a relatively dry position and began to disguise himself: since he last saw the sniper costume of the Tang Empire, he developed a "Geely Suit" for himself.
his ghillie suit is not green, but gray, which makes him look like a pile of bricks, which works very well.
The reason why they came to this dilapidated building was because they didn't have any useful raincoats, so taking shelter in the building became their only option - there was a rain shelter above their heads. In this weather Definitely a luxurious experience.
