Chapter 260: Chang Ning In The Shadows, Lei Keming Arrives
Intense firefighting sounds erupted in the originally quiet forest. Black Tiger’s people didn’t expect the opponent to shoot at them so decisively. Did they not care at all about their comrades who might step on landmines?
Hui Lang fired first and caught Black Tiger off guard, which prevented them from organizing an effective counterattack right away.
The sound of bullets whizzing overhead was extremely dense. Even slightly raising one’s head might get swept by bullets. The Black Tiger soldiers lying on the ground didn’t dare move at all at this stage.
A barrage of firepower suppression pinned them down completely. No wonder the Captain valued Wolf Fang’s people so much.
From the perspective of tactical proficiency, Wolf Fang’s level was quite good!
At this time, the Black Tiger soldier responsible for ambushing Hui Lang and Gao Zhong Dui spat out the grass clippings that flew into his mouth. He instantly understood the Captain’s various previous behaviors.
But no matter how awesome your Wolf Fang is, you still have to drink our Captain’s foot-washing water. Weren’t you still caught by us?
A magazine holds 30 bullets. Firing firepower suppression couldn’t last long.
The longer the time dragged on, the faster reinforcements would arrive, which was more advantageous for the Blue Team.
Therefore, although Black Tiger’s people seemed to be suppressed miserably by Hui Lang, they weren’t anxious at all inside.
As long as Hui Lang’s side ran out of bullets, they would quickly counterattack. At that time, Hui Lang and Gao Zhong Dui could only obediently surrender.
All Black Tiger soldiers participating in this ambush shared highly consistent thoughts. They all had more or less this mentality.
Dense sweat beads kept dripping from Hui Lang’s forehead. The pressure on him was the greatest in the entire field.
Black Tiger Detachment understood the reasoning, and he naturally could think of it too. Once his firepower couldn’t keep up and a gap appeared, the opponent would definitely seize the opportunity.
At that time, he and Gao Zhong Dui would face Black Tiger’s endless attacks like a tidal wave.
But he didn’t care about these. His current mission was to hold back the Black Tiger soldiers on the opposite side and buy time for Gao Zhong Dui to demolish the landmine.
It was to race against time with Black Tiger’s reinforcements. If Gao Zhong Dui couldn’t demolish the landmine before Lei Keming arrived, their fate would definitely not be good.
Gao Zhong Dui and Hui Lang encountered a situation, and Chang Ning, following behind them, saw it all.
With the situation the two were facing now, it would be easy to solve if a third-party force intervened.
Black Tiger’s main force hadn’t arrived yet. The other soldiers responsible for the ambush were suppressed by Hui Lang’s firepower and couldn’t organize an effective attack for the time being.
In this situation, once Chang Ning intervened to rescue Hui Lang and Gao Zhong Dui, it really wouldn’t be difficult.
Moreover, Chang Ning wouldn’t show himself, which would make Black Tiger’s people unsure of how many Red Team members came to rescue.
Hesitation would arise in their hearts, and their counterattack actions would be somewhat affected.
But all of this was premised on: arriving at the ambush point before Lei Keming brought his team.
The ambush plan was originally formulated by Black Tiger. Chang Ning didn’t think Lei Keming’s command post was far from here.
So, if he decided to rescue, Chang Ning couldn’t hesitate and must act immediately. The situation was already very serious.
In the telescopic sight, Hui Lang’s magazine-changing action was smooth as flowing water. The interval time absolutely wouldn’t exceed two seconds.
In just two short seconds, he completed changing the magazine, chambering, and firing. Hui Lang directly used the rifle as a machine gun. The fierce firepower suppressed the Black Tiger soldiers on the opposite side so they couldn’t lift their heads.
“This won’t do. Even if bullets are plentiful, the gun barrel can’t take it.”
Chang Ning decided to help Gao Zhong Dui. Things had developed to this point, and he no longer cared about whether he would be exposed.
Because Gao Zhong Dui and Hui Lang’s whereabouts had been discovered. Unless the two could eliminate all the soldiers in front of them before Lei Keming arrived.
If Gao Zhong Dui hadn’t stepped on the landmine, the two might have been able to do it with their rich combat experience. Now… obviously impossible!
Things had come to this. Gao Zhong Dui and Hui Lang would probably be eliminated.
Then Chang Ning could completely fish in troubled waters under the cover of Hui Lang’s firepower suppression, causing as many casualties as possible to Black Tiger Detachment.
It would be like adding bricks and tiles to Gao Zhong Dui’s plan. It wouldn’t affect his own plan either. It was the best of both worlds. Chang Ning felt he had no excuse to refuse, and he didn’t want to refuse.
He screwed on the silencer. Chang Ning began picking off the Blue Team soldiers on the opposite side, that is, Black Tiger Detachment’s soldiers, one by one.
He targeted those in relatively rear positions, a bit farther from their comrades.
When such people were taken out by Chang Ning, it wouldn’t raise alarms. Their comrades would only think they were unlucky and hit by stray bullets. They wouldn’t think of a sniper at all.
After all, snipers target high-value targets for attacks. Why would they specifically go after marginal “small characters”?
From another angle, Chang Ning’s behavior actually fit the sniper positioning.
Who made his plan to cause casualties without exposing himself? This way, he could only trouble those soldiers in relatively marginal positions.
Of course, he also had to spare attention to ensure the bait’s safety. At least until he could see Lei Keming’s figure, he couldn’t let go.
Temporarily ensuring Gao Zhong Dui and Hui Lang’s safety was secondary. The primary and secondary of the plan couldn’t be reversed.
With Chang Ning’s participation, some of Black Tiger’s soldiers in remote positions were truly out of luck and inexplicably eliminated.
Moreover, they couldn’t find the reason and could only chalk it up to bad luck.
“Hey, another one moving around.”
As soon as the words fell, with Chang Ning pulling the trigger for who knows how many times, he saw blue smoke rising from a Black Tiger soldier through the telescopic sight.
The targets weren’t chosen randomly. Chang Ning couldn’t expose his position, so he targeted those who were moving, trying to change positions.
This way, the eliminated soldiers wouldn’t think of a sniper for their elimination.
The sniping frequency also had its specifics; it couldn’t be too frequent.
Currently, Hui Lang’s firepower suppression was still effective. Black Tiger’s people were all lying on the ground. The probability of being hit by stray bullets was very low.
In this situation, Chang Ning fired very few shots, but the elimination rate wasn’t low at all.
He selected targets that wanted to move, so the difficulty was just a bit higher than hitting stationary targets.
Such difficulty was a piece of cake for Chang Ning.
Watching blue smoke rising one after another on the opposite side, Hui Lang was somewhat confused.
When did his firepower suppression become so awesome?
Referring to past battle records, he could only suppress people so they couldn’t lift their heads. There absolutely wouldn’t be casualty numbers like today’s.
“Could it be because I’m in good form today?” Hui Lang thought so.
The fierce gunshots nearby hadn’t stopped since they started. Gao Zhong Dui acted as if none of this existed and focused on demolishing the landmine under his foot.
Fortunately, Lei Keming didn’t go all out. The landmine he was stepping on was a loose-trigger type.
If it were the pressure type that exploded immediately upon stepping, he would have been taken out long ago given the distance between Hui Lang and him.
He gently pried out the detonator with a dagger. This landmine was considered demolished. Next was the moment for him to counterattack.
Meanwhile, Chang Ning, responsible for output, saw vague figures in the distance and knew Lei Keming had arrived.
So he shouldered his gun and began to relocate. There must be experts around Lei Keming. He had to leave and find another suitable sniper position.
