Girls und War

"Why?" Xia Shu asked.

"They all say it's too loud and has too much recoil. They all prefer lighter sniper rifles," Doragon explained.

Natsuki smiled and said, "I can use any gun."

"See?" Dragon gave You a boastful look. "This is the margin of an ace sniper."

"Okay, okay, I know you treat her like a treasure." You said with disdain.

"That's my darling. You don't know that Zhan Jian had previously applied to act with her." Doragon said with a smile.

"Is that true?" Xia Shu was a little surprised.

Nya Nya and Jia are not done yet, and another war blade appears.

When did I become so popular?

Doragon stopped laughing and quickly said seriously, "Are you tired from fighting these past two days?"

"Not tired." Xia Shu replied immediately.

Doragon nodded and added, "I had originally planned to let you rest for a few days and just patrol the mountains. But now it seems that's not possible."

Hearing this, You asked on behalf of Natsuki, "What happened again?"

"Someone asked to borrow a sniper from me." Doragon licked his lips.

"Ah? With your reputation as Doragon, is there anyone who dares to borrow things from you?" You teased.

"What are you talking about? I'm here for Xia Shu." Dragon looked a little embarrassed, and then said, "Besides, I owe someone a favor."

"Haha." You sneered, seemingly not surprised at all.

"Xia Shu, are you willing to go on a business trip?" Doragon turned to Xia Shu and asked, "If you don't want to, I will help you refuse."

"What is the mission?" Xia Shuxiang asked.

"There's a sea area sniper in the northern plateau mountains, blocking a mountain pass. Two snipers have already been killed by her, and there's no good solution over there, so she came here for help." Doragon explained.

Xia Shu didn't say anything, but asked first, "Why don't you call for an airstrike? Or even just bombard them with artillery."

"If only it were that simple," Doragon said quickly. "That's not the front line. It's farther north, and we've pushed deep into the area. The Air Force said it wasn't worth a strategic bombing run, so they let them handle it themselves. We also used artillery fire twice, but it was useless. The people are still inside."

"Their Air Force Department is just reluctant to spend money." You said with disdain.

Xia Shu thought for a while and asked Doragon, "What is the specific level of that sniper?"

"According to the sniper who was shot down, he is at the top 20 in the world. In other words, he is about the same level as Kana Yuuki." Dragon replied.

Although she is not a sniper and cannot personally experience the strength of each sniper, after the world rankings are released, a large number of professionals will analyze each person's ability.

For example, among the top 100 snipers in the world, the gap in strength is actually very large.

The first ten are one level, ten to twenty are another level, and after twenty, it is another level.

Those ranked 20 and below are not discussed because other unranked snipers, or those with lower rankings, have a high chance of knocking out higher-ranked ones.

Yujie Kana was originally ranked in the top 10. However, she was killed by Xia Shu once, and it is highly likely that she will not appear on the front lines in the future.

As deterrence decreases, rankings will naturally decline. This is inevitable.

It is also possible that those who were previously ranked in the top three may drop to the bottom ten because they were killed once.

But although the top ten to twentieth are impressive, they are not as good as the top ten.

We won’t talk about the top ten rankings here for now, but just talking about the top twenty, they are definitely the best of the best.

Although those in this range are not as good as the world's most advanced super aces, they definitely have the strength to rule a region.

For example, Kana Yuzue, when she is in charge of the mountain front, can keep the girls in the flower district awake at night.

Although Xia Shu has not yet been ranked, everyone thinks that she is at least in the top 20.

Now all the war zones have begun to study her.

All her combat videos from the time she debuted, oh no, when she joined the army, to the present day, have gradually appeared in the computers of various tactical research departments.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why Xia Shu has received so much attention and is known by so many people.

Dragon finished telling the other sniper's information and Natsuki nodded.

I immediately replied, “No problem, I’ll go.”

"See, I told you so." Doragon turned and smiled at You.

Yu frowned and said to Doragon, "What the hell are you talking about? In my opinion, it's better not to go. The opponent is not some unknown young warrior, and he will be defeated if he is not careful. If Xia Shu is accidentally killed there, I think you will cry to death."

Doragon hesitated a little when he heard her say that.

"It's okay." Xia Shu said calmly, "I can handle someone of Yuuki Kana's level."

"So confident?" You was a little surprised.

When Doragon saw Xia Shu's expression, he felt relieved.

300. Xia Shu, who prefers sniping to fighting, hates jungle terrain.

The final result was no surprise.

Xia Shu finally decided to go and have a gunfight with the sniper on the north side of the plateau.

When the logistics department arrived tomorrow, she would go back with the logistics convoy and then travel to her destination along the logistics transportation line.

"Who do you want to be the observer?" Dragon asked Xia Shu again.

Xia Shu thought about it, shook his head, and said, "A one-on-one fight doesn't require an observer."

"Well, I don't know anything about snipers either, so I'll just take whatever you say."

Dragon smiled and stuffed two more canned fruits into Natsuki's hands.

Xia Shu took the can and went back.

The captains of both sides continued to study the subsequent operations, but this matter no longer had much to do with Xia Shu.

Her current task is to prepare for the duel.

After all, sniper confrontation is all about preliminary preparation.

Back at the stone, Jia is still dutifully guarding Xia Shu's advanced equipment.

She held the sniper rifle as if she were holding her own baby.

Xia Shu walked over and touched her head.

Jia turned around, smiled widely, and said, "Xia Shu, you're back?"

"Ah."

Xia Shu took his sniper rifle and gave her a can of fruit.

"This is?"

"I got it from Doragon. Here's one for you."

"Hmm!" Jia carefully put the can into his pocket, as if he was going to keep it and enjoy it slowly.

"Don't save it. You can't take this thing out." Xia Shu said with a smile.

Jia also laughed.

After a while, when it was almost time for dinner, Jia was called away by the logistics team.

Then, Ning came over with a pile of individual rations.

Xia Shu took his share and looked at Ning.

Ning opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

"Um……"

"No, no, no, I have to act alone from now on." Xia Shu said quickly.

"Ah? What did you say?" Ning was a little surprised. "I wanted to ask if you wanted pickled cucumbers."

"Oh." Natsuki laughed, "I thought... Never mind, just give me a pickle."

Ning shrugged and asked her to take it from his backpack.

That was also food in a tin can. Without a can opener, Xia Shu simply pried it open with a knife.

I tried it and it tasted pretty good.

But eating too much will definitely make you feel sick.

Because it's too sour.

When you think about it this way, the stir-fried bean sprouts from the flower district seem to be a bit better.

The standing troops in several war zones mostly eat these simple foods.

Cucumbers, soybeans, potatoes, corn, and so on.

It wasn't delicious, but it certainly ensured the soldiers' health. It had been a basic military ration used to ensure the continuation of wars since ancient times.

Thus, with sufficient logistical support, the Red Dragon Squadron and the Phoenix Squadron entered a comfortable defensive period.

The regular troops in the sea area retreated all the way, and the reconnaissance troops formed by two companies failed to catch any trace of them.

This is something everyone had anticipated.

After all, the sea area has no intention of defending the plateau to the death.

But unlike the calmness of Bagh Harbor, the fighting in other places on the plateau was quite intense.

More than a dozen front-line combat troops, coordinated with the strong firepower of the armored forces, quickly tore out a line of superior firepower in various places on the Langqu Plateau.

The battle line was integrated from south to north, dividing the entire plateau into two parts.

On one side is the sea area, which is the main area. On the other side is the flower area, which is closer to the edge of the plateau.

Both sides gathered their armored forces and ignited the flames of war on the plateau.

Under the leadership of the front-line troops, the flower district undoubtedly has the offensive advantage.

So Liangyue began to order the front line to move slowly westward.

The resistance in the sea area was not very fierce, but it was not weak either.

After all, there are four major war zones. If we just want to delay time, there are plenty of ways to do it.

Liang Yue was not in a hurry. To her, as long as she could take over Lang District, the speed of the process didn't matter at all.

The logistics of the flower district can afford it.

So, the next day, the logistics vehicle drove to the joint base of the Red Dragon Squadron and the Phoenix Squadron.

The central square of Bagh Harbor.

Piles of military rations and drinking water brought down from the square were placed in the warehouse.

Afterwards, the prisoners got on the car, and Xia Shu also sat in the command car at the front.

At this time, several female corporals showed obvious disappointment.

"Want to go with us?" Qingxian looked at them with a smile.

Several girls shook their heads quickly.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of." Qingxian looked at the departing convoy and said, "But if you don't speed up, you'll be left far behind by Xia Shu and won't be able to catch up anymore."

The girls soon looked thoughtful.

The convoy slowly left the port of Bagh and drove along the road towards the logistics base.

Xia Shu did not follow them back to the base, but got off the car halfway and got on a logistics vehicle heading to the north of the plateau.

After a bumpy night, the logistics officer woke her up early in the morning.

They arrived at the northern logistics base and could no longer send Xia Shu.

So Xia Shu asked the supply team here and got on the supply truck heading to the front line.

The car drove deep into the front-line mountains, and the vehicle radio helped her contact the squadron calling for support.
