Chapter 309 Transformation
"You hit him!" The soldiers cheered.
However, Shulka did not pause. After changing his position, he slowly put the rifle up again, and looked coldly at the battlefield through the gap between the cloaks.
The soldiers also consciously quieted down again.
Among them, there were even a few fighters imitating Shulka's appearance and sticking out their heads and sticking out their rifles, including the instructor...but the instructor was obviously more curious than killing the enemy.
However, perhaps the German snipers knew that someone was staring at them, so no one dared to shoot even if there were still people shaking their hands out of the trench at this time.
This is the effect Shulka wanted, forming a deterrent to German snipers.
If the German snipers dare not shoot, then the vicious circle of the Soviet "hand deserters" will be well curbed.
But Shulka is not satisfied with this.
He suddenly found that even if the Germans didn't shoot, they seemed to be able to find some clues... Shulka found an inconspicuous dent in the snow, like a belt, extending from the German position to the wreckage of a tank.
That is of course not a belt, but a trace left by German snipers using the cover of the wrecked tank to crawl forward.
Of course he couldn't cover up these traces, maybe he thought it was unnecessary, because Xinxue would cover up these traces soon.
Fortunately, Shulka noticed this before it was completely covered up.
So, Shulka aimed his rifle at the corpse next to the tank...it was of course not a corpse, but a German sniper.
His experience is that he gave himself a good hiding place and lay in front of the Soviet soldiers without camouflage.
"Bang!" After a gunshot, the "corpse" spurted out a stream of blood, then tilted its head and stopped moving.
This proves that Shulka is right, since real corpses obviously don't have blood.
When the instructor retracted his head, he looked at Shulka in surprise and asked, "How did you find him? I always thought it was a corpse!"
"He should come out later to pretend to be a dead body!" Shulka replied: "After the snowflakes completely cover up the traces!"
The instructor nodded in admiration, with envy and admiration in his eyes.
At this time, a gunshot came, and the soldiers cheered:
"Hits, I see him moving!"
"Comrade Company Commander, Comrade Antipunov hit one!"
…
Hearing this, Shulka couldn't help looking in Antipunov's direction unexpectedly. He knew it was not easy, because Shulka had been observing outside for a long time before knocking down two, but Antipunov was able to find the third one. indivual.
"How did you find him, Antipunov?" The instructor seemed interested.
"Nothing!" Antipunov shrugged, with an expression of indifference: "I just feel that there is a place where the snow is relatively thin, and there are some irregularities... I guess the enemy has moved in the snow. My own numb hands and feet caused the snow to slide away!"
Shulka nodded towards Antipunov and praised: "Good job, Comrade Antipunov!"
Antipunov laughed happily, like a child who got a little red flower.
"Thank you, Comrade Company Commander!" Antipunov rubbed his head in embarrassment: "I still need to learn from Comrade Company Commander, I was inspired by you, otherwise I would not try to find it at all... because here I didn't think that was possible before!"
Shulka was embarrassed to say that he thought the same way not long ago.
However, this was not what surprised Shulka even more. He couldn't believe that the Antipunov in front of him was the same as the "Godfather" who swore when he first joined the army that he would "not kill people" and "would not point his guns at the same kind". "...He didn't have any "bad reactions" at all after killing an enemy, and he was even quieter than others, without any emotional fluctuations. On the contrary, it was Shulka's compliment that excited him.
But of course, Shulka didn’t use this to ask Antipunov, because Shulka was worried that if he asked, he would embarrass Antipunov and move out of the previous routine.
Antipunov like this is very good, and the soldiers seem to know this, so they all pretend to forget the past with a tacit understanding.
But it's really not necessary.
Because when Shulka asked about it later, Antipunov replied: "I am still me, a religious man! When I shot and killed the first person, I was tortured and kept begging God for forgiveness The crime I committed. But, at the second kill, I felt nothing but relief, and I found my place... There is no war without the kill! Is it, Comrade Captain?"
There is no war without killing, and it is true.
Whether you like it or not, or what your beliefs are, you have to follow the rules of the game when you arrive on the battlefield.
Perhaps for Shulka and Major Gavrilov, the war will be more complicated. They have to consider various strategies and commands.
But for Antipunov, he only has to think about killing the enemy, or being killed by the enemy.
This has even become Antipunov's strength: his thinking is very simple, and simplicity means concentration, or it can also be said that because he is a devout believer, he can often act with a calmness detached from the battlefield on the battlefield. Seeing the world... that's the most desirable quality in a sniper.
So, soon Antipunov became Shulka's best sniper.
Then, the German snipers even lost the confidence to snipe in front of the position, because they believed that every time they fired a bullet, they would be quickly discovered by the enemy and then killed... This is obviously not worthwhile. Starving and freezing in the snow is just a life for another life.
So, they blasted the Soviet position with a blast of artillery, and then withdrew the snipers under the cover of smoke.
Of course, the Soviet army's "hand deserter" method will not work.
Shulka wanted to hide it for the "hand deserters", but the instructor soon knew the whole thing.
Few things in the army can be hidden from the instructor.
Then there were several gunshots in the trenches on the other side, and the deserters were executed on the spot... Those deserters had good reasons not to go to the battlefield, and the hands they stretched out were right hands, which meant that they could not hold hands. pointing the rifle and even pulling the trigger.
But they will soon regret this "little cleverness", because then they will not even have the opportunity to go to the punishment camp.
"These shameful traitors!" The instructor gritted his teeth and scolded when he came back from the other side of the trench: "They actually tried to evade responsibility in this way!"
