Chapter 215 Results

  The German sniper was very cunning. After firing one shot, no matter whether he hit the target or not, he did not fire a second shot.

A very embarrassing scene formed on the battlefield: the German artillery knew that there were Soviet snipers on the battlefield, but they could not find where they were hiding; the German snipers knew where Matvey and the others were, but his retreat But it was blocked, and there was no way to notify the artillery to shell Matvey and the others.

  The three German officers and soldiers hiding behind the jeep were caught in a dilemma at the moment. This place is about 100 meters away from our own position. If we ran over, we would definitely be killed by Soviet snipers. But if you continue to stay here, you don't know how long you will have to wait to get out of danger.

   Just as the battlefield was at an impasse, the commander of the second battalion called Bindasov to complain. After listening to the colonel, he said coldly: "I see, I will tell you when I come up with a solution."

  Hanging up the second battalion commander, he dialed the number of the first battalion headquarters. As soon as he heard Jetrov's voice coming from the receiver, he immediately asked straight to the point: "Comrade Captain, I heard that some unpleasant things happened between you and the Second Battalion and the Third Battalion today. ?”

Hearing Bindasov's question, Jetrov knew that the second battalion commander made his own report in front of him, and quickly replied: "Yes, Comrade Commander, because of the competition for the sniper position, something happened. Not pleasant at all."

"I also heard," Bindasov asked after Jetrov finished speaking, "I heard that the joint sniper teams of the second and third battalions were attacked by German artillery and snipers. The whole army was wiped out, and you didn't take any action to counter the enemy. Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, Comrade Commander, there is such a thing." Jetrov thought that the matter had come to this point anyway, and simply admitted: "The German army only has one sniper in front of the position. If we want to eliminate him , and exposed the firepower of the machine guns on the position, and attracted the cover of German artillery fire, it will not be worth the loss."

  Before Bindasov could speak, he heard someone behind him asking, "Comrade Colonel, who are you talking to?"

Bindasov turned his head and saw that the person who asked him was actually Sokov. He quickly handed over the microphone to his left hand, raised his hand and gave a military salute, and then said: "Reporting to Comrade Commander, I am talking to Jie, the acting battalion commander of the first battalion. Captain Trove on the phone."

Before entering the door, Sokov vaguely heard the conversation between Bindasov and Jetrov, but with only a few words, he still couldn't figure out what was going on, so he stretched out his hand to Bindasov, He said: "Give me the microphone, I want to talk to Captain Jetrov."

After talking with Jetrov, Sokov figured out what was going on, and said into the microphone: "Comrade Captain, you are doing the right thing. You can't easily expose the firepower position on the position for the sake of a sniper. If the German artillery retaliates, our losses will be great."

After putting down the phone, Sokov turned to Bindasov and said, "Comrade Colonel, although our snipers achieved good results yesterday, they are not professional snipers. , They will inevitably suffer a lot. It seems that not only should they be replaced with special guns, but also related training needs to be organized for them.”

"Comrade commander, please forgive me for speaking bluntly." Bindasov waited for Sokov to finish speaking, and said with some puzzlement: "Although more than 30 German soldiers were eliminated in yesterday's sniper operation, if we want to finally To resolve the battle, we still need our main force to engage in regular face-to-face decisive battles with the enemy.”

  Seeing that Bindasov still didn't pay much attention to the sniper up to this moment, Sokov couldn't help feeling somewhat dissatisfied with him. What Sokov was thinking was that in a few months, the Battle of Stalingrad would begin. If his troops were transferred to that city, then in addition to regular combat, more time would be spent by both sides. A battle between snipers. At this moment, it is just time to take advantage of the opportunity of confronting the German army on the Zhizdra River to train a group of snipers.

Therefore, he resolutely said to Bindasov: "Comrade Colonel, judging from the results of yesterday's battle, it is absolutely necessary to form a sniper team. The combined sniper team of the second and third battalions was wiped out purely by accident." , You call them immediately and ask them to organize a new squad to continue the sniper mission against the German army."

   After more than an hour of stalemate on the battlefield, the enemy hiding behind the jeep finally lost their composure. The German driver crawled towards the position in a crawling posture. His purpose in doing so was firstly to ask the way with stones to see if the Soviet snipers had left; secondly, he stayed outside the jeep for too long and was almost frozen. I want to go to the camp early to keep warm.

  Matvey saw the German driver with his **** sticking out high, crawling towards the position like a maggot. He didn't shoot right away, but watched the driver's crawl with interest. When the driver was less than 20 meters away from the position, Matvey aimed a shot at the driver's ass. The bullet accurately hit the driver's butt, and the huge impact caused him to roll twice on the spot. After he stopped, the pain from the wound made him scream.

  A German soldier staying at the fortification saw the driver was shot and fell not far away from him, so he bent down and emerged from the trench. When he came to the driver's side, he grabbed the driver's arm and pulled it in the direction of the trench. Matvey sneered, and fired a shot at the German soldier, knocking him to the ground.

Matvey turned his head and looked at the jeep still parked on the open ground. He could vaguely see two German officers and soldiers hiding behind him. He thought for a while, then took out an armor-piercing incendiary bomb from his backpack, and pressed it into the He opened the magazine of the rifle and aimed at the mailbox of the jeep in the distance. He didn't use the armor-piercing incendiary bomb just now because he didn't have much confidence that he could accurately hit the distant target. Now that they didn't want to delay with the Germans any longer, they decided to give it a try.

  After Matvey pulled the trigger again, the armor-piercing incendiary bomb accurately hit the fuel tank, and the jeep was blown into a fireball in an instant. A German soldier hiding behind the car was blown out and fell heavily to the ground, lying there motionless. Another officer, covered in fire, screamed and rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on his body. Matvey fired a single shot at the rolling figure, putting an end to his misery once and for all.

  After doing all this, he turned his attention to the area where the German snipers were hiding, and said in a low voice: "Now, it's my turn to deal with you."
