sarajevo sniper

Leto's perception of time became slower and slower, every minute seemed to be as long as an hour.

The tug-of-war is very hard. It not only consumes a lot of physical strength, but also drains the spirit quickly.The news of soldiers being injured kept coming through the communicator, every time there was an increase, Leto's brows became tighter, he felt the pressure, every life weighed heavily on his shoulders.For a commander, the pressure is crushing enough.

The pilot of the Gazelle in the air called him: "We have completed the ammunition replenishment and are heading back, over!"

Leto's spirit was shaken, if the helicopter could suppress the second wave of firepower in the air, they might be able to go home early.He called the vanguard: "G-23, this is Solonazarov, the Gazelle has returned, please pay attention to the ceasefire, over."

Vanguard received.Leto let out a sigh of relief, and the communicator reconnected to the Gazelle pilot.Amidst the thunderous gunfire, the voice of the pilot seemed a little weak.There was a noise of signal loss in the middle, and the hoarse, noisy, and heart-wrenching struggling sounds made Leto a little irritable. He took a deep breath and asked the communications soldier to adjust his position.

The pilot on the reconnection is lowering the altitude: "There are still 900 meters to arrive, please stop...fuck!" He paused, and immediately regained his composure: "Colonel, this is A11, we were hit, repeat, A11 was hit hit."

Leto raised his chest again in one breath: "A11, what's your situation now?"

The pilot was calm and orderly: "It should be that the tail wing was hit, and the pedals have experienced a strong vibration. I'm not sure where the shooter is at the moment, it should be..." He paused again, and a strange muttering sound came from his throat, indicating that the plane's second attack Get hit: "We're losing control, Colonel, it should be a sniper. A11 is going down, repeat, A11 is going down!"

By this time, even Leto could hear the altitude warning issued by the plane's dial, and it directed its high-pitched voice into the Colonel's ear like crazy: "Beep—beep—" Leto heard the last words were The pilot whispered: "God bless."

He wiped his face and took a deep breath.

The atmosphere suddenly became dignified.The machine gunner next to him knew that a plane had crashed, and his face was heavy. He wanted to say something comforting, but he opened his mouth in vain, and couldn't come out.The air commander also repeated over and over again in the communicator: "Please note that we have a Gazelle down, please note that a Gazelle has fallen..."

After a while, Leto picked up the communicator on the ground and announced: "Call G-27, this is Solonazarov, listen carefully, leave the necessary personnel to garrison except the defense point, everyone should go to the crash site as soon as possible Save people, it's over."

The captain of the retreating force was surprised: 'G-27 received it.Colonel, are you sure?It's possible they've...'

Leto was very firm: "Follow my orders! When people die, bring their bodies back. Everyone who went out today must go home! We will never leave anyone to 'Chetnik'!"

Leto knew that Linnai had joined the battle.His intuition has always been accurate.The Serbs did not dare to dispatch the People's Army to participate in the food robbing, but the person who shot down a small antelope within two shots must not be an ordinary Serbian militia. The only person who has this qualification is the awkward Linnai.The question is why did Linnaeus get involved?He's still in Sarajevo?Because Berlamovich is here?

If Linnai joins, this battle will become very difficult.Leto didn't really want to fight Linnai on the battlefield-this didn't mean he was afraid of losing to Linnai or being afraid of standing on the opposite side with Linnai-he thought that fighting Linnai would be of no benefit to each other. benefit.All he wants is to give food security to refugees, not to prove his strength with a battle, and he doesn't need to "win" to prove anything to Linnai.

At this time, the signalman contacted the vanguard: "Colonel, this is G-23, announcing the death of a soldier, Sergeant Ibert Page, repeat, Sergeant Boit Page is dead."

This is the first soldier to die.Leto clenched the communicator: "Is it a sniper?"

The captain was silent for a moment, with a complicated tone: "I'm afraid so. The bullet directly penetrated the helmet and shot in from the back of the head. But there are no Serb troops behind them." He urged Leto: "Colonel, we need to ask for more... "Suddenly, he paused, and a soldier shouted from far away on the communicator. Leto had a bad feeling: "G-23, what's the matter?"

It took three seconds for the captain to return to the communicator: "This is G-23, the No. 2 soldier is announced to be dead, Corporal Nick Ferroni. Repeat, Corporal Nick Ferroni is dead."

Leto dropped the communicator, picked up the machine gunner's spare sniper rifle, and walked downstairs resolutely.He left the two machine gunners where they were, and only the scouts and signalmen hurriedly followed behind: "Colonel! Where are you going!"

"We lost a line of defense just like that!" Leto clenched his fists and ordered the communications soldiers: "Contact the headquarters and tell them that we need support. We will send out as many light armored vehicles as there are, and all our men except the wounded will be sent. Ask Shan Mao to contact the Croatian military headquarters to borrow people and weapons, we don’t have enough ammunition and manpower, if we want to fight until night, we have to bring night equipment.”

He made the worst plan. Once the war is infinitely protracted, the consumption will inevitably increase.The Serbs must have been seeking support at this time. Berramovic underestimated the enemy once, and would not underestimate the enemy a second time. Even if the People's Army was not dispatched, it would be difficult for them to deal with it if they called on the armed volunteers.The overall strength of the Bosnia and Herzegovina government army is in front of him, so he can only apply for aid from Croatia.

He went up to the second floor to find Lin Nai's location.Linnai must be in the terminal building. The area around the airport is empty and there are no buildings. Linnai needs a high-rise building to bring down the duiker, so the only possibility is the terminal building.

After shooting, they had a face-to-face in Linnaeus' scope.This is their long-lost reunion after half a month.

Leto calculated in his mind that Linnai's injury could at least help them delay for a while, even if the forward line of defense was broken, they could still barely deal with the Humvee convoy of defeated Serbian armed forces.As long as they can drag the support from Croatia to the scene, they still have a chance of winning.

Ten minutes later, when he returned to the forward troops to support, the signal soldier handed over the receiver for the third time: "It is the garrison of the retreating troops."

It was only then that Leto remembered that Walter was still behind: "Walter?"

"Hey, Mr. Colonel, long time no see." The sniper's voice came clearly from the receiver.

Leto smiled unconsciously: "Nice to see you again, Linnai."

Lin Nai was also not polite to him: "I'm not here to greet, Solonazarov, Walter is in my hands now, if you think your orderlies are safe and sound, hand over the food. You don't have to Thinking about going to the Croats for reinforcements, they have already agreed to reinforce us, friends are meant to be used at such critical times, aren’t they?”

"Is Walter alright?" Leto seemed to only care about his little orderly.

"Sound limbs." Lin Nai laughed lowly: "Let your people cease fire immediately, or I will immediately remove one arm from him. If you delay for one minute, he will lose another arm. Within five minutes, your precious Service becomes a pile of rotten meat."

Leto seemed to think about this question seriously.The silence was a bit too long, and when Linnai could hardly wait any longer, he spoke again: "You said he was in your hands, and I'm not sure what you said is true. You may be lying to me, for Let me hand over the food. I will hear his voice, let him speak to me."

This condition is reasonable.Linnai gave the microphone to Walter: "Say hello to your dear colonel."

Walter sounded calm: "Colonel, I'm sorry, I...you don't need to worry about me, don't give them food! It's okay to sacrifice me, I... I'm ready..." He was still afraid Yes, my throat trembled a little when I said it.

Leto sighed: "Linnai, I want to have an interview with you." He put forward his own conditions: "We cease fire at the same time, and you bring Walter in alone, and you can bring weapons. Then I will take you to the customs clearance point , We hand over the goods and deliver the goods. Also, tell Berramovich not to prevent our people from going to the crash site to save people."

Lin Nai hesitated for a moment: "OK."

It was 05:30 at this time, and the Muslims ceased fire at this time for evening worship, and the soldiers knelt on the spot to pray.This is an act of faith that must be carried out in all weathers, even on the battlefield.During this period, the Serbs were unwilling to fire again, and kept ammunition and physical strength waiting for rescue.The militiamen were exhausted from fighting, and no one expected that a fight for relief food would be so intense.

The sky was as thick as blood-red tomato soup through the smoke, and the sun was pale and was setting in the west.The red sun once appeared in the sky of the Balkan Peninsula. That was 40 years ago. After 40 years, the red sun was finally going to set. Except for the bloody smell of gunpowder, it seemed to leave nothing behind.

Linnai led Walter into the gate of the freight building smoothly, and two special forces from the "mongoose" unit took them to the customs clearance point.Leto was sitting on an old wooden chair. Because of the dim light, the expression of the young colonel looked deep and obscure.His body is covered with dust and dirt, his leather boots are no longer shiny and clean, and his cheeks are covered with blood, but from a certain angle, Linnai thinks this Leto looks better, he looks like a living person, not A certain high-grade porcelain placed in the banquet hall.

Walter was held to the neck with a gun by Linnaeus, and he looked apologetic.Leto gestured for them to sit down—

"How's your injury? Do you need a medic to take care of it?" He was referring to the wound he shot through Linnai's arm.

Linnai shook his head, and he shot Walter with a gun: "I brought the man, can the food be handed over to us?"

Leto looked at the "mongoose" troops behind him, the captain led his team members to avoid it first, leaving room for these three people.

Leto unloaded his weapon and put it on the table to show that there would be no violence involved in the future: "The food is here, and it has been counted. But don't worry, even if you want to take it away, you have to wait until Reinforcements have arrived? With just a few Humvees outside, I’m afraid there’s no way to remove all [-] tons of food.”

"What do you want?" Lynn asked.

Leto adjusted his sitting posture and leaned comfortably against the back of the chair: "We haven't seen each other for half a month, so let's say a few words before leaving. We used to be partners, oh yes, Berlamovich still I don’t know that you and I cooperated to rob the People’s Army, right?”

"You don't need to sow discord, I will resolve the matter between me and Berlamovich myself."

"If I have any intentions, it's only for your own good, Linnaeus."

"That's right, what kind of environment is suitable for my theory? Save yourself."

Leto smiled, he realized that the two smiles he had done within an hour were all because of Linnai, the first time was when they reunited in the scope, and the second time was now.In any case, it was a pleasant experience for him—

"Using hostage threats should be allowed by Berramovich, right? He gave you the authorization to come in and negotiate with me, right? You are not his subordinate anymore, Linnai, there is no need to be so obedient. It's still your way The theory of national justice has taken the high ground again? I just want you to understand that this is a war between me and Berlamovich, not between me and you, and I never made such a wish."

Lin Nai looked at him with burning eyes: "But I hope so."

Leto laughed and shook his head: "There is already an end between us, Linnai, I hurt you, and you also took revenge. We don't owe each other, don't you understand? I, have nothing to do with you, and I also I don't want to fight with you anymore, isn't that bad?"

Lin Nai was taken aback.It never occurred to him that he would say that.It seemed that Leto had been pestering him all along. From the initial active trapping to the unexpected cooperation later, Leto showed an ambiguous and persistent attitude towards him.He took it for granted that there was a deep connection between them, but Leto's words now seemed to mean that the matter was over, because Lin Nai shot him a few times, and the connection between them was broken.Leto put him down, and moved forward, toward a bigger goal—General Berlamovic of the Yugoslav People's Army.

Yes, there is no need for a war between them, the plot about hurting each other is over.Even if Leto didn't say anything, Linnai didn't realize that at the moment when he joined the war, he was actually looking forward to a new struggle with Leto, but he was also looking forward to the connection between the two.He didn't even think that the relationship between them was broken like this. He was excited, even looking forward to the reconnection between him and Leto, even though the "connection" between them had always been in a negative, It is carried out in a violent way, in the form of life-and-death violence.But this is still a connection, even a psychological dependence.

So, Leto had given up on the relationship, hadn't he?
