sarajevo sniper

Linnai waited until 01:30 in the morning, until the turbid and mighty fog soaked the long street into a gutter, and from a distance, he could only see the evening lights at the gate of the airport floating up, one after another, holding the peeling lights out of the gutter. A skull that was peeling off and emitting white gas.

He didn't stay in the phone booth.The bus stop was less than 50 meters across the street. He groped into an empty bus and sat by the window to observe patiently.Half an hour ago, the soldiers patrolling the airport completed their shift change. The number of this shift increased by 20, and search soldiers appeared on the street one after another.The atmosphere became serious, and Linnai knew that it was Leto who found out that he had run away and started looking for someone.

Another 10 minutes later, a black car slowly drove over from the direction of the airport.After passing the telephone booth, it stopped, without rushing to turn off the engine, and the headlights flashed three times in an orderly manner—this was the handover signal, and it was only waiting for Linnai to connect.

But the sniper did not act immediately, he quietly lurked in the dark bus, holding his breath and continued to observe. Three minutes later, I saw two men in black getting out of the car. When one of them closed the car door, he held the butt of his gun hidden under his suit jacket, as if hesitating whether to draw his gun.The other approached the phone booth first and checked the situation around the phone booth.

Lin Nai was less than 100 meters away from them. He quietly changed his position and moved to the back door of the bus, using the shadow of the door to block his figure.The man in black who responded did not find him near the phone booth. After a brief conversation, the two started calling. Linnai guessed that they decided to ask their boss what to do next.

If he doesn't show up again, maybe the man in black will leave, and Linnai will lose the best chance to leave Sarajevo.

But Linnai must further confirm that these people are indeed simply taking him back to Serbia.He couldn't fully trust Berramovic. Three days after he was arrested, he suddenly appeared. If Berramovic had doubts about him and used the pretense of taking him back to Serbia, he actually planned to arrest him or kill him to silence him. Returning to Serbia is undoubtedly a dead end.

Lin Nai is now one of the few people who participated in the sniper mission.If Berramovich wanted to shift the blame for the intelligence error to him, the best way would be to kill him first to ensure that Lin Nai would not bite back. Once Lin Nai died, Mr. Admiral would be able to decide whether it was right or wrong.

Before the men in black finished their calls, two Bosnian government soldiers on patrol had noticed them and asked to check their documents.One of them took out a fake document-this is the most common method, and the People's Army will prepare fake documents to disguise their identities at any time.

The atmosphere was a little tense, and the man in black unconsciously fiddled with his suit jacket, revealing an unbuttoned pistol from the back of the hem.Lin Nai sneered in the dark, sure enough, Berramovich didn't trust him, and pretended to be concerned on the phone, but the sent people were always ready to draw their guns and shoot him.

The sniper ignored the confrontation between the two sides, got off the bus silently through the back door, and then turned around and left the station.There were too many soldiers patrolling the street at this time, and he had to leave the airport first.But how to get back to Serbia after leaving the airport?

Berramovic could no longer be trusted. Linnai didn't know many people in Sarajevo. He had neither legal identity documents nor money, and had to avoid the pursuit of the two parties. How could he escape safely?

He spat to himself, walked two blocks to another phone booth, and called Berramovich—

"Linnai, where are you? Our people went to pick you up but couldn't find anyone!" Bellamovich was furious.

Lin Nai was too lazy to talk to him: "Listen, I don't have time to play with you who is the bad guy and who is the good guy, and it's not so easy for you to kill me. Now I give you two choices, either I choose you and The fact that your useless subordinate received false information was exposed, so that the whole world can see what kind of general the Yugoslav People's Army is; position, and then I will disappear from your sight and never appear again."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and the admiral returned to his seriousness: "Are you threatening me? This is betrayal!"

The sniper finally waited for these two words as if he heard a joke: "Betrayal?" He reprimanded: "You and your people messed up things, but in order to protect the stars on your shoulders, you You have to put the blame on me. Berramovich, you don't even have the qualifications to be a soldier!"

"You have no proof, no one will believe what you say."

"How do you know I didn't? I just escaped from the Bosnian government army. Maybe I got a lot of things?"

"Who are you going to talk to? BBC? ABC? Or the Soviets? No matter who you speak to, it is treason!"

"Why can't I tell the Serbs? Don't you think the RTB is not interested?"

"Then go ahead and see if they dare to report such news."

"It was hard to say in the 80s. It's different now, times have changed."

"You villain! I didn't do anything!"

Lin Nai was not in a hurry: "At 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, put the money and identity documents under the second table in the open-air cafe on the Opera Square, otherwise, I will contact some of my good friends on time. Admiral, I believe people will never lose interest in stories of bureaucratic corruption."

Without waiting for the general to respond, Lin Nai hung up the phone decisively.

A beam of light swept over from the side just at this time.Lin Nai frowned, and was about to dodge, when the figure in the phone booth was already noticed on the other side.Those were soldiers patrolling and searching by the Bosnian government forces——

"Hey! Who's there?"

Lin Nai secretly had a bad idea, but it was too late to run at this time, and the two soldiers had already approached.He grabbed the receiver and pretended to be making a call, and when the door of the phone booth opened, he called out, "Hey! It's me! One of my own!"

He was still wearing Walter's uniform, so it looked like that at first glance.The soldier did not relax: "Take out the ID and have a look," Wei Li added: "Brother, no offense is meant, the person we are arresting has stolen a military uniform. This is an order from above, and we are just following the rules That's all."

Lin Nai scolded Leto, the strict fox in his heart.He made a fake move of pulling out his pocket: "Of course, I understand..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly punched, and with one blow, the opponent's head and body were deflected!The opponent didn't even see which hand he threw the fist with.Lin Nai moved extremely nimbly, and at the same time raised his leg and kicked another soldier in the stomach. A tall man with a thick bulletproof plate tied to his chest was forced to take two steps back and fell to the ground.

The soldier refused to admit defeat, fell down and threw himself forward, holding the leg that Lin Nai was about to take back with his hands. Lin Nai didn't expect this move, his body was pulled so that his center of gravity was unstable, and he turned sideways in the air He turned 180 degrees and fell to the ground.The other leg was the one with the fracture. The special soldier bit his lip through the pain from continuous falls, and his mouth was full of blood.

The two hugged and rolled on the ground. Another soldier reacted at this moment, drew his gun and fired at Lin Nai!The sniper finally kicked off the "burden" on his legs, rolled down the sidewalk, and dodged under the body of the car parked on the side of the road, avoiding a series of bullets.He got up from the other side of the car, using the body of the car as a cover, while calmly counting the number of shots fired by the opponent, waiting for the best time to empty the magazine.

After ten bullets passed, the opponent stopped shooting. Linnai raised his body suddenly, and the military knife in his hand flew out. There was only a silver light passing by under the evening light, and the blade was precisely inserted into the soldier's forehead.The other party didn't see the knife at all, because he was changing the magazine with his eyes down. The empty magazine had just been ejected from the gun. The moment the blade was inserted into the skull, the empty magazine fell to the ground. , making a "click" sound.

The soldier fell to the ground with a crash.Lin Nai took two steps to pick up the gun, put the magazine into it, and shot at another soldier who was kicked by him twice and was calling for backup. The soldier showed a dumbfounded expression when he died, and his mouth Still open.It was his partner calling his name over the intercom.

Lin Nai took a rough breath, not daring to take a break, and searched out the weapons he could use and put them on himself.He picked a G36K and held it in his hand-the things made by the Germans still make people feel safe.He also left the extra magazines behind, and he heard a car approaching in the distance.

There has just been continuous shooting here, and soldiers have issued a request for support, and support troops will definitely arrive soon.

He quickly dodged into the alley next to the telephone booth, and went straight to the opposite street. Unexpectedly, there were also pursuers from that side—the Yugoslav People's Army with a mountain bike and a whole vehicle roared past.It must have been sent by Berramovich.

— so fast.

Lin Nai thought to himself, it seems that the admiral does not intend to accept the threat, and he is bound to kill him to silence him.

There are wolves in front and tigers in back, but the snipers are extremely calm.He went back to the alley and wiped a handful of wall plaster, smeared it on his face, tore the sleeves of his jacket, and then stood in the middle of the road, waving at the People's Army convoy——

"Hey! Here! Here!" The convoy stopped after passing him, and found this distressed and dying Bosnian government soldier.The leader of the convoy didn't really want to talk to him, but with such a big living person blocking his way, he couldn't forcefully let the car run over him.The leader was very impatient and asked rudely: "We are performing official duties! Get out of the way!"

Lin Nai stumbled to the car door and said in a strong Bosniak dialect: "Can you give me a ride? I just caught the fugitive and was injured, and my brother died," he choked and was stained by the wall dust The black hands wiped my face again: "I really can't walk anymore, our camp is less than five kilometers ahead, just put me down near there."

The leader was even more annoyed if he couldn't hear clearly: "Where are you supporting the troops?"

"They are also very busy today...we are catching an important fugitive." Lin Nai asked back: "Why are you so late on the mission?"

The leader knows that the "important fugitive" is also their target, but it is difficult to answer publicly: "You care so much!"

Lin Nai smiled apologetically: "Yes, yes, please do me a favor. They are all brothers."

He deliberately put the last sentence with special emphasis.Although he pretended to be the government army of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the people's army and his position should be opposite. The two parties have been fighting to the death in private, but they have not torn faces in the open, and they have to try their best to maintain unity and friendship. appearance.Therefore, when a government soldier asks the People's Army for help, in order to maintain the principle of unity, he will help if he can, so as not to be left behind.

Sure enough, the team leader agreed: "Come on. Get out of the car and call for a while!" After that, he called the soldiers behind: "Come on some people! Pull this cripple into the car! Hurry up, don't waste time!"

Two soldiers jumped down and helped Lin Nai into the car.Thirty people were crammed into the trunk of the small car. In the foggy night, everyone seemed to have the same vague outline.Thirty pairs of eyes stared at such a "Bosniak" cautiously and curiously, as if Linnaeus would take out a dirty blanket and kowtow to Mecca at any time. ③

Lin Nai squeezed his palm unconsciously, and he could clearly feel the hostility and contempt.This is really a wonderful experience-as a Serb, he experienced the feelings of the Bosniaks for the first time, and the feelings of foreigners facing the Serbs.This is ridiculous, he wondered for no reason, is this how these Muslims treat Serbs every day?How do they balance this high level of stress and tension?When he stood in front of Leto, did Leto face him with the same mood?

Finally, a young soldier who looked shorter offered to give up his seat: "Would you... would you like to sit down..."

Lin Nai showed a sincere smile: "Thank you."

The young soldier looked a little shy and comforted him: "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Their convoy and the vehicles of the Bosnian government forces passed perfectly on the adjacent street.Except for Lin Nai, none of them realized that the distance between them was once very close.It wasn't until the phone booth was completely out of sight, and there were no more Bosnian government soldiers patrolling on the street, that Lin Nai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After the high tension, his mind was completely empty for a few seconds, and his eyes showed fatigue and tiredness.At this moment, he had no idea where he should go and whether there was still a way to go.Only the roar of the car engine accompanied him, seemingly endlessly, constantly moving forward.
