48 Hours a Day

Nothing to say overnight.

At noon the following day, Simon found traces of the Soviet army in the snow, which should have passed from here a day earlier, with an estimated number of people between 100 and 200, and a wagon trackmark on the snow, which means that the other party is likely to be equipped with heavy machine guns.

After an afternoon of snowboarding, they finally approached the target before sunset.

This Soviet army is moving very slowly, it is difficult for people and horses to walk in half a metre thick snow, even sometimes soldiers have to push carriages, bad weather and the constant news of casualties on the front line make the soldiers' morale very low, at this time long past the original 16-day operational deadline, if Zhang Heng is correct, a number of Soviet troops have been destroyed by the guerrilla formation, and they have achieved few results.

Now that every unit sent to the front line is in the heart, the morale of transnational operations will usually be lower than that of the local fighting party. Although some public opinion mobilization was carried out before the Soviet war, the results can only be regarded as unsatisfactory. Especially after the great cleansing, middle- and high-ranking officers with experience in the Soviet army are either executed or deported to Siberia to accompany the polar bear.

Many of the young officers who are now rapidly moving up have just graduated from the military academy and their loyalty is impeccable, but they only know that the rigid execution of the above military orders is fine to fight the wind, but once they encounter a difficult situation like this, they are not very comfortable with their soldiers.

Simon glanced at Zhang Heng and handed him the telescope.

The force behind the lens is a typical Soviet infantry company of about 150 combatants, including three infantry platoons and one machine gun platoon, equipped with twelve light machine guns, two heavy machine guns and some projectiles that look like shovels, although more soldiers are still equipped with M1891 Mosinagan because stable performance has always been the main weapon of the Soviet Union.

The force is still quite strong in terms of fire, especially the two Maxine heavy machine guns in the wagon, which can shoot up to 600 rounds in theory and can even knock down planes in the sky.

Because of the fear that the reflection of the lens would expose the position of the two people, Zhang Heng did not dare to look more, intending to retreat until dark. As a result, Simon had begun to gather the snow on the ground in front of him, and the girl had made a gesture to him, meaning that he would retreat first.

Zhang Heng trained with Simon for a week before, thought he knew enough about the latter's shooting skills, but when he guessed the girl's intentions, even with his constant calm, he couldn't help but take a breath of cool air.

The distance between the Soviets and them has exceeded 700 meters. What concept is that, using a machine sight, 300 meters later the quasi-star is bigger than the target itself.

And the normal person's visual recognition range is 500 meters, 700 meters —— which has completely broken common sense, so Zhang Heng doesn't know what a sniper can do to complete the shooting.

However, the primary rule on the battlefield was to trust his companion. Zhang Heng heard that although he was stunned, he nodded and quietly retreated a mile away with the skis and backpack of the two men. Shortly after he fell down, he heard the gunshots. Immediately after that, there was a disturbance in the Soviet troops in the distance. Zhang Heng could not see the specifics of the situation there, but he could probably guess the reaction of the Soviet soldiers.

They should be on the ground for the first time, then blindly shooting back and looking for a sniper, but unfortunately, even if they wanted to break their head, no one would have guessed that the bullet was coming from over 700 metres away.

The exchange of fire lasted for some time, after which the two Maxine heavy machine guns fixed to the carriage also fired, accompanied by grenades and an astonishing amount of power. However, even the M28 gunfire was concealed, and the Soviet soldiers could not find out where the attackers were.

This mode of combat is a staggering blow to morale. Don't look at Simon, who has only one shot at him, and the Soviet army across the street, which is short of a galaxy of fire, but in the current situation where he can only be passively beaten but can't find out where the enemy is, his fierce fire will only make people more desperate.

The panic began to spread in the ranks… The shooting did not stop until five minutes later, yet many Soviet soldiers were still visiting with rifles in their hands, while others had accidentally injured their companions because they were too nervous.

Though the Soviets didn't find anybody there from the beginning to the end, there were still some random bullets that landed in Simon's area, causing Zhang Heng some concern, but good thing he saw the girl withdrawn from the front line soon.

Simon and I had barely changed, but breathing was a little rushed, spitting out the snowy water in our mouths, and Zhang Hengbi drew a number twelve.

In total, the girl dropped two cartridges of 30 rounds, with a hitting rate of about a third or more. Don't underestimate this achievement. Considering that her range was alarming enough, her main target was the most threatening machine gun platoon, with two squadrons of fourteen killed by her, in addition to hitting an officer and several projectiles.

While the Soviet army was still in chaos, the two men and the enemy pulled a distance apart.

So the first battle of Zhang Heng's guerrilla career came to an end. He didn't fire a shot. He acted as a visitor and witnessed the killing of his partner.

Simon, on the other hand, seemed to have done only one trivial thing, without any excitement on his face, as if he had just faced a hundred times more enemies, and the shooter who had harvested his head was not himself.

…………

About half an hour before the sky completely darkened, the girl did not intend to waste it, changed directions with Zhang Heng and repeated the previous events.

On the Soviet side, there is virtually nothing they can do about it. They do outnumber the guerrillas, but if they are to be raided on a large scale, it is not enough to see that more than a hundred people are scattered in the woods. Instead, they give the enemy a chance to destroy them one by one, and the advantages of heavy weapons after the breakdown of the formation are difficult to exploit. Of course, we are still gathered to deliver food.

It is also, in fact, an unresolved problem that plagued all Soviet commanders during the winter war.

Snipers are the only ones who can handle them.

Unfortunately, at this time, the Soviet Union was not aware of the importance of snipers. It was not until the cost of hundreds of thousands of casualties was paid in the late war that it became painfully painful and began to strengthen the training of snipers. Later, the Patriotic War also turned into an active stage for Soviet snipers, who circled with the Germans in the ruined walls of the city and tore each other apart, but this was the last word.
