Of course, Li Jiuye understood that feeling distressed was useless.
What he needed to do now was to find the enemy hidden in the shadows as quickly as possible.
Find him, and then kill him!
Recalling the trajectory of the bullet just now, Li Jiuye calculated silently in his heart.
The bullet took 0.5 seconds to reach him, and the bullet hole on the ground was at an angle of 30 degrees. Combined with the current wind speed and humidity.
Li Jiuye already had a guess.
Judging from the gunshot he had just heard, this time it was not a Type 77 rifle, but the Japanese Type 97.
Type 97 Sniper Rifle: This rifle was manufactured in 1937.
It was an improvement of the Type 38 rifle, equipped with a 2.5x or 4x optical sight.
The barrel length was 1.28 meters, the total length was 797 millimeters, and the total weight was 3.95 kilograms.
It could accurately lock onto targets within 600 meters, with a maximum range of 3000 meters.
Its muzzle velocity was 760 meters per second, taking 0.5 seconds to reach him.
This meant that his straight-line distance from the sniper was less than 400 meters.
In this narrow alley, a sniper 400 meters away, occupying a commanding height, was undoubtedly a nightmare in both modern and primitive warfare!
He alone was like an enemy fortress.
After reaching this conclusion, Li Jiuye took a sharp breath.
At a distance of 400 meters, coupled with armor-piercing rounds, even bulletproof glass could be penetrated, let alone small bluestone bricks.
This meant that his current hiding place was not safe.
Not only him, but others were also not safe. As long as his men appeared in the enemy's scope, they would be sure to die.
Li Jiuye took off his helmet and slowly peeked out.
Another "bang" sounded, and a smoking hole appeared on the helmet.
Fortunately, this was just a test. If it had been a real person, they would have already stepped into the gates of hell.
"All personnel, pay attention. There is a veteran sniper here. Now, follow my orders and prepare to throw flashbangs."
"The moment the flashbang explodes, everyone find solid cover."
"Do not reveal your position without my command."
Li Jiuye gave the order.
Everyone nodded.
Li Jiuye used his teeth to pull the pin, then threw it forcefully into the alley with his right hand, shouting loudly.
"Withdraw!"
"Boom!"
Inside the Japanese sniper's scope, a dazzling white light appeared, and his eyes were blinded for a few seconds.
The moment the flashbang exploded, all the soldiers scrambled towards their chosen cover.
Just as everyone had found their cover, dense gunfire erupted again in the alley.
Li Jiuye, seeing his side at a disadvantage, knew that only by employing guerrilla tactics could they achieve victory through surprise.
Using strengths to attack weaknesses.
Li Jiuye leaned against the bluestone brick and took a deep breath.
He was not afraid of the Japanese submachine guns. Prolonged combat had cultivated his excellent military qualities.
The reason he was so confident was that his equipment was superior.
Now, the only threat to him in the entire alley combat was the sniper hidden in the shadows, with bared teeth, ready to kill.
The Type 97 sniper rifle had a long range and strong penetration, making it nearly invincible within 600 meters.
The best way to deal with a sniper was to counter-snipe.
Now, Li Jiuye only had a general idea of the enemy's position: the northeast corner, 400 meters away.
There were as many as five commanding heights within 400 meters in the entire northeast corner.
He only had time to fire one shot.
With a one in five chance, Li Jiuye dared not gamble.
One wrong step was like falling into an abyss.
What he needed to do now was to eliminate all interfering factors.
Just then, the sound of metal rolling echoed on the bluestone paved road.
Li Jiuye's expression suddenly changed, because he recognized it as the distinctive grenade of the Japanese.
If the grenade exploded in front of him, he and the children behind him would be in grave danger.
Even though he knew his position was awkward, there was nothing he could do.
The slowly rolling grenade was not important now, nor were the enemies surrounding them.
The most important thing was to maintain his composure and engage in a psychological battle with the sniper opposite him.
He had used his helmet to bait the enemy into firing once; now he needed to trick the enemy again.
They couldn't fall into the same trap twice.
Therefore, Li Jiuye made another bold decision: he first pulled the pin on a specially treated grenade.
This grenade had a particularly short fuse.
If he made a mistake this time, the sniper's bullet would unceremoniously end up in his brain.
But if a qualified soldier lacked the courage to gamble, how could they speak of defending their country and the world?
Listening to the approaching sound, Li Jiuye endured the severe pain in his left shoulder and took off his tactical backpack.
He threw it towards the other end of the alley, and at the same moment he threw the backpack, his body rolled out.
Let's switch perspectives.
The sniper hidden at a high altitude watched the alley where Li Jiuye was hiding without blinking.
His palms had started to sweat.
Because of his two mistakes just now, the cunning enemy had escaped his grasp twice.
Anger was simmering within him.
Watching the grenade getting closer to the enemy, the Japanese sniper showed a sinister smile.
"This time, you are surely dead."
"Let's see how you break free."
Suddenly, a tactical backpack appeared in the sniper's scope.
The Japanese sniper sneered.
"The same trick again, I've seen through it..."
Before the Japanese sniper could finish speaking, Li Jiuye's body appeared.
He watched as Li Jiuye landed on his feet, submachine gun in hand, firing continuously. His injured left hand held the pulled grenade, which he threw directly into the enemy ranks.
The series of actions was as fluid as a mythical creature, leaving no trace.
With another push of his legs against the ground, Li Jiuye's figure disappeared behind cover.
At this very moment, the sniper lost the initiative. By the time he aimed again.
The other Japanese soldiers were either blown up or mowed down by Li Jiuye's burst of fire.
And the rolling grenade was kicked by Li Jiuye into the enemy's stronghold.
Immediately, screams of pain, explosions, and submachine gun fire echoed throughout the alley.
"Bang!"
The Japanese sniper pulled the trigger.
And this time he made a fatal mistake.
Li Jiuye, using the cover, spotted a faint flicker of fire from the third commanding height in the northeast corner.
"Damn it, finally found you."
"A sniper who reveals his position is like a tiger that has lost its teeth."
At this moment, the Japanese soldier at the third commanding height was still unaware that his position had been exposed, and he was still trying to find Li Jiuye.
But how could Li Jiuye let him have his way?
As if by magic, Li Jiuye slid along the wall, staying within the sniper's blind spot.
Even in broad daylight, Li Jiuye was more like a ghost now.
A ghost reaping lives.
At a certain wall, Li Jiuye removed his magazine; only one bullet remained.
While the sniper opposite him had at least four rounds left.
The enemy could afford to make three mistakes, but he could only succeed with one shot.
Reinserting the magazine, Li Jiuye took another deep breath.
Fortunately, he was now less than 20 meters away from the sniper.
It was here that the familiar feeling returned.
Li Jiuye's body bristled, and he charged to the left without hesitation.
At the same time, on the first floor of the third commanding height, a dark gun barrel emerged.
The barrel was currently emitting black smoke.
While sniper rifles had a significant advantage in range, they also had a significant disadvantage in reloading.
After firing one shot, it required about 2.5 seconds to reload.
Taking advantage of the enemy's reloading time, Li Jiuye broke through his limits, unleashing a speed far exceeding a hundred-meter sprint.
At this moment, the distance between Li Jiuye and the sniper was less than 10 meters.
Just as the Japanese soldier finished reloading and stood up to aim.
Li Jiuye simultaneously raised the gun in his hand.
Both appeared in each other's sight at the same moment.
This moment was a test of who had the faster reaction speed.
Clearly, Li Jiuye's reaction speed was superior.
The gun in Li Jiuye's hand, with only one bullet left, emitted wisps of smoke.
Simultaneously, the Japanese soldier's head exploded like a bursting balloon, with a "boom."
His body collapsed, and his prized sniper rifle also fell heavily to the ground.
With the death of the last sniper, Li Jiuye's special operations team achieved victory in this battle.
