Chapter 75

Zhang Heng has been lying on the boundless snowfield for half an hour. He holds the M28 in his hand and presses the butt of the gun against his right shoulder. His fingers are red and swollen with cold. Even with his usual calm, he can't help but wonder whether he can finish today's training.

This is the 79th day he came to the world, and the deadline has long passed. However, due to the extra 24 hours, his stay in the ice and snow has been extended to 140 days. Now, more than half of the time has passed, but the good news is that it is not far from the end of the war.

In the first stage, from November 30, 1939, the Soviet army launched a fierce attack on Finland in four routes. As a result, the operation was as fierce as a tiger. In addition to reaching the predetermined goal at the northern end of the front, the Soviet Army ended in a disastrous defeat in other areas and was forced to stop the attack and continue to increase its troops from home.

At that time, Finland was basically confused with the Soviet Union, especially in the main confrontation of Karelia isthmus. The Soviet army was unable to break through the Mannheim defense line which Finland had worked hard for more than ten years. Moreover, because it could not understand the actual situation of the Finnish army's defense, after paying a heavy price, it only occupied the 20-60 km deep support zone of the Finnish army.

But in January, the situation began to take a turn for the worse. The Soviet army set up the northwest front army in the Karelia isthmus and appointed Timoshenko as its commander. The latter also served as the commander in chief of the front line, mobilizing the forces of two group armies, a total of 21 infantry divisions and six tank brigades, to launch a fierce attack on the mannaheim line. At this time, Finland was short of troops, heavy weapons and ammunition The problem of excessive drug consumption has also been exposed one after another.

Recently, there are more and more urgent reports on the front line, but it has nothing to do with Zhang Heng for the time being. During this period, he has gone through more than 20 battles, big and small, and almost walked on the edge of death every day. It is no longer as easy as the first World War. Even with his caution, he has hung up several times. The most dangerous one is a grenade, but I don't know if it is him The lucky rabbit foot at the waist played a role. The grenade didn't explode in the end, which made Zhang Heng escape.

This is indeed the most dangerous game he has ever experienced. There are many uncontrollable factors on the battlefield. Even if he makes all the right choices, he may still be killed by accident.

Zhang Heng's skiing and shooting skills improved rapidly, especially the latter. It took him less than a month to upgrade to LV1. According to this progress, he may be able to reach Lv2 in another month.

Now his sniper hit distance has been increased to 200 meters, in this distance he can basically guarantee more than 80% of the hit rate, but his main improvement is not the range.

Simon has been helping Zhang Heng improve his sniper's overall quality and battlefield sense of smell, which is the reason why his performance is getting better and better.

What they are doing now is observation training. Simon catches five snow weasels with traps. This is a small animal with slender body and looks like a mouse. The girl marks them and then releases them. Zhang Heng needs to kill three of them to complete the training.

This kind of small thing is covered with pure white fur. It's very difficult to distinguish in the snow, and it's very alert. Half an hour later, Zhang Heng only found and shot one, and four of them didn't know where to go. Zhang Heng even suspected that they had run out of this area.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Heng finally found a small head exposed in a snow ditch. However, the distance between the two sides was a little far at the moment, but Zhang Heng didn't plan to wait any longer. He pulled the trigger for fear that the little thing would run away in the next moment. However, his stiff fingers obviously affected the shooting accuracy.

The shot failed to hit the target, and the ferret was frightened and disappeared into the snow ditch.

Zhang Heng shook his head, put away his rifle and gave up the training.

He saw Simon on the other side sitting in front of the campfire in a daze.

In the last week, the guerrillas also took a holiday, and the fighting in other regions was basically over, just waiting for the Karelia isthmus to be divided into victory and defeat, or more precisely, to see if Finland can survive until international aid arrives.

Britain and France promised to send expeditionary forces to Finland to fight. However, Sweden and Norway explicitly refused the request of the Allied forces to cross the border, while Germany made it clear that it had no intention to participate in the Soviet Finnish war or mediate. Finland began to be pessimistic about whether the reinforcements could arrive in time and whether they could resist the Soviet attack.

At the same time, the Ministry of foreign affairs has been negotiating with the Soviet Union to seek the possibility of a truce, but the harsh conditions put forward by the Soviet Union are hard to accept.

Now it's February, and as time goes on, as the weather gets warmer, the war situation will become more and more unfavorable.

Zhang Heng can quickly put down these things and stop thinking about them because he does not belong to any side of the war, but for Simon, her country is about to lose, and even face the danger of subjugation. I'm afraid that is another taste in his heart.

Zhang Heng can feel that the latter's mood is obviously a bit low recently, but there are few things he can do. His personal strength has little influence on a war. Even if he can have the same strength as Simon, he still can't change the final result.So he had to find another way to make the girl feel better.

Pop! A snowball hit Simon's back, the girl's face showed a look of doubt, turned around and was hit by two snowballs in the left arm, so immediately bent down to make ammunition.

The accurate counterattack from the top sniper fell on Zhang Heng's chest, but at this time Zhang Heng's two consecutive shots also arrived. Simon dodged the front one, but was hit by the back one in the neck. Snow fell in the collar, which made her shiver, but it also aroused her competitive heart.

Snowball flying in the air, you come and I go, at least in this short moment, Simon temporarily forgot the war for her trauma and pain.

…………

It was already night when the two returned to the camp. Zhang Heng himself boiled water, took a hot bath, when he dressed and went to live outside the wood room, but unexpectedly saw the female doctor Maggie there.

"You came back very late."

Zhang Heng picked to pick eyebrow, "what's up?"

"The war in Karelia isthmus is not good. The Soviet army has broken the first line of defense. It is said that those guys above are ready to agree to the requirements of the Soviet Union. The war is almost over. AKI wants to have a chat with you. I don't know if you are free."
