2941 Target Confirmed
There was still no news from the soldiers he sent, which meant that they hadn’t found the Chinese snipers. An hour had pa.s.sed. If there was still no news, the a.s.saulters’ reconnaissance mission would come to an end.
Lieutenant Colonel Saluk, whose mood was severely affected by the two shooting compet.i.tions in the morning, became a little impetuous. He actually knew that his current situation was not good. He also knew that his emotions were fluctuating so much that it was not beneficial to the upcoming compet.i.tion. However, as long as he thought of the humiliation he suffered from the Chinese, no matter how he tried to adjust his mood, he failed to.
The SFS border defense soldiers would never be defeated. How could they accept China, whom they looked down on, defeating them?
They had to defeat China so that the Chinese wouldn’t be able to be arrogant anymore.
Time ticked by. As he listened to the sounds of fighting getting more and more intense, Lieutenant Colonel Saluk was elated and shocked. He was happy that they had been fighting with the powerful American special forces for a long time and were still not defeated. It could be seen that the combat ability of the SFS border defense soldiers had definitely improved.
He was shocked that he didn’t manage to kill the American special forces soldiers. The outcome hadn’t been decided yet. Once the soldiers from other countries sneaked in, he and another sniper might be discovered.
Just as Saluk was thinking about this, Xia Jinyuan gave a new order. “Find the snipers of the SFS border defense soldiers and kill them secretly. Once you succeed, retreat!”
There was not much to see. The combat power of the SFS border defense soldiers started to decrease. The American a.s.saulters started their last attack. Before long, the SFS border defense soldiers would lose to the American soldiers.
The elites lived up to their reputation!
“There’s a swamp ahead. It looks like the swamp is the sniping compet.i.tion venue. Search near the edge.” Xia Jinyuan put down his binoculars. He moved slightly like a treeman and disappeared. It was as if he had become one with the trees, the ground, and the gra.s.s. It was difficult to find him.
The rain was getting heavier. Even the sky was gradually turning dark. The sounds of fighting in the pine forest gradually became softer. Xia Jinyuan, who was crawling forward, approached a rock bit by bit.
His target… was the pile of dead leaves beside the rock.
“Target confirmed. One sniper from the SFS border defense soldiers.”
“Four o’clock. Bring up the rear. Alert at eight o’clock. We can continue moving forward.”
Observer G3 and Xia Jinyuan cooperated. Big Shark and Big Eel were on full alert to prevent the American soldiers from discovering the Chinese.
The other sniper from the SFS border defense team was hiding in a good position. His disguise was also quite outstanding. It was difficult to discover his existence under the dimming night sky.
It was also because of that he overlooked a very important point. He used dead leaves to disguise himself beside a rock at the edge of the slope. The trees around the rock were spa.r.s.e, and in front of him was a swamp with a wider field of vision. Wind blew over from the swamp, blowing away a layer of wet dead leaves on the other side of the rock.
The wind was able to blow away the wet leaves on one side of the rock. In that case, this side of the rock was even more empty. There were not many trees in front. Why didn’t the wind blow away the leaves on this side? Instead, they piled up high.
It was obvious. Since the wind couldn’t blow the pile of dead leaves away, there must be something wrong.
This was how Xia Jinyuan found the SFS border defense soldier sniper.
When Big Shark and Big Eel heard that there was really a sniper beside the rock, they admired Q King from the Xueyu unit. Just now, he even asked the two of them to observe. Unfortunately, they didn’t see a sniper hiding anywhere.
