Chapter 947: 948 Silent battle
Chapter 947 948 Silent Battle
"Do you think someone will come to rescue him?" Cao Fei, who could no longer see the results of his victory, stared at the window and asked the observer beside him.
The observer was also looking at the window and said, "I'm wondering if the other party will notice our position. If we want to leave, it seems easier now."
"Under normal circumstances, shouldn't we be suspicious of the building on the side of us?" Cao Fei felt that the sound of rain confuses the sound of his gunfire, and the other party should not easily suspect his location.
"Don't scare yourself, okay? It's hard to tell whether the other party has anyone nearby." The observer felt that Cao Fei was a little too cautious.
"No, the window where he shows his head is not the best sniping position in this building!" Cao Fei analyzed calmly: "His position is facing us. Logically speaking, the front of that building, That’s the best position, isn’t it?”
"Hiss... you said that, it's true... Under normal circumstances, there is only one person, shouldn't he go to the front, find a good position to overlook the nearby battlefield, and look for the target?" The observer also reacted.
How can anyone set up a position in a position where the side view is not very good? So it's very possible that there's someone else on the other side, another sniper in a better position.
"Then we are not in danger now?" The observer became a little nervous. He picked up the telescope and looked at other windows on the building.
Because artillery shells exploded around it, the glass on this building was broken. When the Dahua Empire attacked this building, it seemed that a fierce battle broke out inside.
Dense bullet marks can be seen on the wall, and bullet holes can be seen around some windows on the lower floors. Some walls have also been cracked due to shell explosions.
The crumbling building had many damages due to air leakage, and there were also many small holes and places that could be observed.
“No, normal people would probably focus on the factory building next to them, and no one here would notice it,” Cao Fei said confidently.
Their location is indeed concealed enough. There are only two shooting holes in the front and the exit is at the back. No one can detect it at all.
Although they may be directly threatened by enemy fire when retreating, under normal circumstances they will deal with the enemy before leaving.
As time passed, it seemed that everyone around him had left. The rain washed away everything around, as if no battle had ever broken out here.
Except for the sudden gunshot just now, there was only silence. The sound of cannons in the distance was still faint, like the sound of drums floating in the rain.
No one passed by the window anymore. The observer looked at the building in the distance with a telescope, paying attention to the changes in every detail. Unfortunately, he didn't see any difference, it was as if there wasn't anyone there at all.
Actually, they did not see anyone. There might be another enemy there. It had always been just a guess between the two of them.
If you insist on being serious, there may not be a single person there, or there may be two enemies, or three enemies!
"How about we just call for artillery strikes!" The observer held the telescope, stared at the building in the distance, and said to Cao Fei beside him.
Cao Fei didn't speak. He was still looking for possible targets. Through his sight, the building over there seemed to be in front of his eyes.
Observers knew that this was Cao Fei's rejection of his proposal. Because the high-value target has not been confirmed, it really doesn't make much sense to rushly call for artillery support.
You may be bombing an empty building, which will have absolutely no effect. If artillery fire was based solely on suspicion, every building in the city would be reduced to rubble.
At the same time, the cautious old hunter of the Dahua Empire did not leave. He crawled on the ground and crawled behind a hidden crack, observing the factory building in the distance through the scope of the sniper rifle.
Just as Cao Fei thought, in the eyes of the old Orion who could not fully understand the advantages of the Tang Empire's equipment, the ruins of the factory that could shelter from wind and rain were indeed the most suspicious place.
In his judgment, the opponent would not give up such a good position that can shelter from the rain and have a good view. The other party must be in the factory. The only question is where in the factory.
Through the gap, he could only see half of the factory building. He carefully observed the small windows on the factory building walls, but found nothing.
That factory building was built with the help of the Tang Empire. The walls are very thick and there are various metal pipes inside, which are very strong.
After being hit by a solid heavy artillery shell, about two-thirds of it was still standing, which shows how high the construction requirements were at that time.
Generally, the height of such a factory building is not low. It is usually divided into three floors. The top floor is used to place equipment such as cranes. The middle floor is built around the factory wall, similar to a passage. The bottom floor is used for placing equipment. Production area where machines and workers are located.
The bottom floor of the factory usually only has very high ventilation windows, so the old hunter guessed that the other party was probably hiding near the passage on the second floor.
There are windows on this floor, and the view is better, which is very convenient... Of course, the opponent may also be hiding on the third floor, because there are also windows on that floor, which are very small, and although the view is not very good, it is more hidden. The old Orion was not in a hurry, because the shot just now reminded him of the unique sound of the rifle used by the snipers of the Tang Empire.
So he knew that his opponent was very powerful, so he did not have the courage to retreat and leave. He just lay dormant and observed quietly, hoping to make sure that the surroundings were safe.
He looked out of windows one after another, constantly looking for exposed areas where the other party might retreat. But he saw nothing, there was only silence except the rain.
After waiting for at least ten minutes, the old Orion felt that the other party should not be in the several positions he was observing. If the other party was still in these positions, he felt that he should be able to see the other party's figure.
So he continued to crawl and moved his body to the crack under another window. Through that crack, he could see another part of the factory building in the distance.
At this moment, in the crater shelter in the distance, the observer's telescope happened to scan the crack. In just a moment, the observer's eyes fell on the crack, because he saw something moving behind the crack.
He stopped, with a tremor in his voice - I don’t know whether it was because of excitement or nervousness: "Same floor! Under the third window, crack! There is movement!"
Cao Fei adjusted the angle of his sniper rifle so that his scope was facing the target. He could see that there was indeed something crawling cautiously behind the crack.
"I saw him! The crack was too small, there was no chance to fire." Cao Fei aimed at the crack, but at this distance, he could not guarantee that his bullet would pass through such a small gap.
If you fire at this distance, 99% of the bullets will hit around the gap. Shooting rashly is equivalent to telling the opponent that there are enemies nearby, and it will most likely scare the opponent away.
So Cao Fei decided to wait for a better opportunity and kill the opponent under a certain kill condition. After all, his carefully arranged position kept them busy for a long time, and it would be a waste if they didn't make full use of it.
The old hunter on the other side had no idea that he had been targeted. He was still observing the factory building in the distance through the gap, trying to find traces of the enemy through the remaining windows.
Frankly speaking, his current position is very advantageous to him, because no one can hit him through the gap at this distance, but he can hit distant targets through this gap.
This is equivalent to saying that he is now in an invincible state and can attack at will without worrying about being counterattacked by the opponent.
"Should we call for artillery fire to kill him?" Cao Fei's observer felt that since there was an enemy in that building, calling for artillery support was the simplest and most effective way.
After saying that, he even touched the walkie-talkie next to him, preparing to adjust the signal channel to call for artillery support.
"Don't worry! Let's see if we can deal with him first." Cao Fei stared at the opponent. If nothing else, the opponent should be able to see the bait he left.
As expected, the old Dahua hunter had already focused his attention on a small ventilation window on the third floor of the factory building.
Through the broken ventilation fan on the small ventilation window, he could see a looming thing like an M35 helmet.
This thing is very hidden, only a small part of it is exposed through the ventilation fan. If its appearance is not so easy to remember, the old hunter may even ignore it.
What made the old hunter confirm that this might be a target was that there was a long strip next to the looming steel helmet. Because the rain curtain blocked the view, the thing looked like a rifle.
That's right, that's the bait set by Cao Fei and the others. Next to an M35 helmet half-covered by a pipa, there is a Cyric 1 rifle with a broken stock.
This is a double bait. As long as the other party fires, it can remind Cao Fei and others that there are enemies nearby; if the other party recognizes this bait, then the other party is likely to focus on the factory, which can produce a certain degree of Misleading.
The old hunter who was aiming at the helmet decoy had his finger on the trigger at this time, but just when he was about to fire and take a shot at the helmet, he hesitated.
Through the unclear sight, he observed the target. One minute passed, two minutes passed... His finger released the trigger, and in the end the shot was not fired.
That bait didn’t move! A smile appeared on the corner of the old Orion's mouth: the other party didn't even breathe, and the helmet lay there motionless, as if it was a bait.
“How smart!” The old Orion praised his enemy in his heart: “You dug a trap for me? You are the prey...child! I think you haven’t realized...who you are fighting!”
He grinned as he crawled backwards away from the crack, and all of this was seen in the eyes of Cao Fei, who was aiming at the crack. It seems that the other party is also an experienced sniper, very cautious...
