War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 955

He descended to the third floor of the shopping mall along the rope, and before he could stand still, he saw the other two extrajudicial mercenaries who had been captured here.

However, in just a few days, the two remaining mercenaries have been hung from the ceiling of the third floor by ropes in the state of corpses, and they even have two directional mines tied to their chests.

"Leva, what about those girls?"

Wei Ran followed Leva and asked as he continued to slide down the rope fixed on the edge of the bombed-out floor on the third floor.

"Let them continue to hide in the basement of the building opposite, the food and drink collected these days is enough for them to persist for a month.

Wait until we win here in the future, and then go pick them up and leave.Anyway, let's go, let's meet Ivan and the others first. "

Before he finished speaking, Leva had already cut the rope above his head when he was still more than one meter above the wreckage of the buildings on the ground.Then a pack of directional mines was dug out from under the blasted escalator and placed everywhere.

"The building opposite? When did you pass by?"

Wei Ran, who was originally on the sidelines, suppressed the doubts in his heart and wisely did not continue to ask to avoid revealing his secrets. He just cut the rope and jumped down to stand firm, and checked his weapons and equipment for the last time before leaving.

Leva took a big bite of the apple, greeted Wei Ran enthusiastically in French, and followed the group of Chechen soldiers, talking like chicken and duck for two blocks.

Iwan walked while asking, and at the same time tore open a bag of normal saline to wash away the dust and dirt on Wei Ran's wound.

"It should be easy to use the sword of the previous dynasty to kill the officials of this dynasty."

Following his pressing, a series of explosions erupted outside the basement entrance, and the already narrow entrance was completely buried by the collapsed stairs!

Hiding behind the wall as much as possible, Wei Ran, who was throbbing with pain, tore off the square scarf on his head, twisted it a few times, bit one end with his teeth, and held the other end with his left hand. Wound the broken arm of the right hand at the fastest speed.

Thanks to the "escort" of the Chechen soldiers with less than 20 people, the two arrived at the basement where Ivan and others were hiding, less than two intersections away.

Two consecutive shells exploded around the infantry chariot, and Wei Ran's face also showed a look of joy.

Maybe it's the extrajudicial camouflage uniforms and cloth strips for identification on them, or maybe it's because of Levana's calm expression.

Almost subconsciously, the veteran wanted to touch the gun, but when he saw Wei Ran smiling and defenseless, he subconsciously let go of the folded butt to hold Wei Ran's hand together, and opened his mouth to use the Chechen What did the language say.

The most important thing is - the infantry chariot that was slowly dismantling the superstructure with the turret, obviously preparing to bury Ivan and others alive, turned its back on Wei Ran!

Grinning and tearing off the helmet, Wei Ran pulled a table leg and used it to push the helmet against the shooting hole.

"Okay, I understand." The young soldier pursed his chapped lips nervously.

Wei Ran was entertaining himself like a neurotic, and at the same time, he also took out the heavy anti-tank gun from the metal book, and patiently replaced it with a magazine containing armor-piercing bullets and a matching muzzle brake.

"Lieva" Wei Ran abruptly stopped the other party, "Look ahead."

"Someone will meet us next." Leva raised his finger in the direction, "Hurry up and make a decision to leave, you don't have many opportunities."

"boom!"

"Woo-woo-woo--"

"Captain them."

Almost pulling and dragging the muzzle of the gun to the shooting hole, Wei Ran immediately got down on the ground, aimed at the periscope of the infantry fighting vehicle that was about to turn, and pulled the trigger!
"boom!"

Undoubtedly, his operation won cheers from the Chechen soldiers, and even gave him and Wei Ran a new gift—two cigars wrapped in tin foil in the kitchen.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"boom!"

Along the way, they did not encounter any danger.Even a group of passing Chechen soldiers waved at them from afar and shouted something in Chechen.

However, the penetrating power of the high-explosive bullet is not as good as that of the armor-piercing bullet after all. Coupled with the angle, although the gun pushed Wei Ran back more than ten centimeters, it only made the infantry vehicle stop abruptly. , and then its turret turned around slowly!
With no time to think about it, Wei Ran didn't care about the soreness of his shoulders, and aimed at the periscope at the commander's position as quickly as possible and pulled the trigger again!

"unlucky!"

On this floor, he found the body of a Chechen soldier who was almost completely buried in broken bricks and tiles.And under the body of this corpse, there is actually a Simonov anti-tank rifle used to deal with tanks during World War II, and a box full of amazingly powerful 14.5×114mm machine gun bullets!
"No wonder you gave me the anti-tank gun this time!"

The two looked at each other, obviously seeing something from each other's faces, and without hesitation, they tore off the walkie-talkie and threw it into the wreckage of the tank, and ran desperately to the same vehicle not far away that was also killed just now. Lick the ground and attack the frightened infantry chariot.

In just such a short time, the second, third, and fourth bullets undisguisedly hit over and over again from the third floor of a diagonally diagonal building, hitting the wall and the ground , stirring up large and small bricks and rubble, bit by bit compressing Wei Ran's activity space.

Hearing that, the soldier immediately stepped on the gas pedal, and the communication soldier Vasly also reacted very quickly and handed his communication backpack to Ivan. After the latter stuffed a grenade into it, he didn't even ask. thrown out of the carriage.

Soon, the infantry chariot started up again, drove towards it almost on a rampage, and finally stopped at the downstairs of the building where Wei Ran was hiding.

Wei Ran grinned, pulled out the anti-tank gun and aimed it at the infantry vehicle two streets away, and then readjusted the corpse with a lot of broken bones and placed it behind the old man's gun. Out of the aiming position.

Without time to think about it, let alone his broken arm, Wei Ran moved his gun and aimed at the building diagonally opposite that was under fire, forced himself to calm down, and tried hard to find potential enemies.

Is it good to use this anti-tank gun in the early days of World War II to fight a BMP1 infantry tank?The answer is of course yes without a doubt!
The thinnest 6mm and thickest slanted armor is less than 30mm, the straight-line distance between the two is less than 200 meters, and the height of Wei Ran on the third floor further makes up for the advantages brought by the slanted angle of the steel plate.

Putting the old guy down on the ground, Wei Ran stepped on the broken stairs all the way up, and soon found a pile of steaming shit at the corner of the stairs, as well as two poops that were thrown aside. Women's panties for toilet paper.

Undoubtedly, the three effective shots successfully attracted the attention of the infantry fighting vehicle, and when it turned the front of the vehicle in a hurry, the surrounding Chechen soldiers who participated in the assist also turned their guns around one after another, and shot at the vehicle. The cloud of smoke pulled the trigger.

Correspondingly, those Chechen soldiers who obviously did not understand French also waved or returned salutes. There was even a young Chechen soldier who looked less than 20 years old, and enthusiastically took out two wrinkled clothes from his pocket. Baba apples were distributed to Leva and Wei Ran.

Looking around, Wei Ran didn't dare to delay, and quickly ran to the wreckage of a tube building on the side of the road that seemed to have suffered an air raid.

Almost at the same time as he re-entered the tube building, he happened to see a Chechen soldier who looked as young as 50 years old walking out slowly with a cigarette in his mouth and an AK assault rifle in his hand.

"Then find the traitor who betrayed us!"

However, just as he was about to put away his anti-tank gun again, more infantry vehicles, tanks and even Chechen soldiers appeared in the other direction of the intersection!
Hey!
Wei Ran's heart sank, and he put away the anti-tank gun beside him dejectedly, and looked at the enemies who could not resist with a look of despair.

"Soldier, listen"

"Friend, are there any rockets?" Wei Ran asked in French while extending his right hand towards the other party with a warm smile on his face.

"Da da!" There were two more weak gunshots that were masked by the sound of firefighting outside, and as the bullet casings fell to the ground, two small holes were drilled in the old guy's chest.

Wei Ran, who was about to say something, realized later that he couldn't open his mouth again!Obviously, the metal book didn't want him to reveal something crucial!

With the release button of the gun being pressed down, a thick armor-piercing bullet that everyone was excited about was violently pushed into the chamber.

"no problem"

It was so heavy that when his right hand was injured, he couldn't move it to the required position quickly!

Amid the deep roars one after another, a round of 20mm caliber armor-piercing bullets also hit the body of the infantry chariot like a heavy hammer!

As Leva said, he led them into a residential building, opened the iron door leading to the basement and got in first, and at the same time said in French, "Comrades, I think, we need to die in this You have a chance of surviving the war."

Leva and Wei Ran yelled in French almost in unison, and then, Leva switched back to Russian, and said to the soldier of the 131st Brigade of the Russian Army who wore a tank cap in the driver's seat and asked Wei Ran for a grenade, " Comrade, please drive forward and send us to the building that was just blown down!"

Lying on the ground clutching his severed arm, he first retracted the anti-tank gun beside him, then gritted his teeth and took out the Mauser bayonet, and cut off the fleshy skin of his right arm that was still connected!

Under the dark sky, both he and Wei Ran could clearly see that, two intersections away, a BMP1 infantry chariot with white paint was turning slowly, and at the same time, there were some people around Throw a Molotov cocktail with a flame in the basement window where Ivan and the others are hiding!

When the two of them got into the car, they immediately saw Ivan sitting in the captain's seat, and Vasli, the signal soldier with only one leg left beside him!

Dazed for a moment, Wei Ran ventured to look over, only to find that the front of the chariot had been rearranged!

The first high-explosive bomb hit the armor plate directly in front of the driver almost the moment Wei Ran pulled the trigger.

"them."

"Change that." Leva pointed to the AK74 in the hands of a Chechen soldier at his feet, "You pretend to be my deputy shooter."

Hiding in the shadow of ruined walls and watching the infantry chariot disappear out of sight, Leva immediately led everyone to another inconspicuous building not far away, and said in a deep voice, "Ivan, We are likely to be betrayed! Just now the air force bombed the shopping mall where Victor and I hid half an hour ago, and before that, the person who rang the bell contacted me in coded words through encrypted communication to confirm the damage effect of the previous wave of bombing."

Wei Ran glanced at the glove on his hand with disgust, quickened his pace and climbed up to the second floor, quickly looked at the crumbling rooms one by one, and after finding nothing, he immediately climbed up to the third floor, which was almost open to the air.

Gently moving the muzzle of the gun, Wei Ran easily aimed at the commander's position at such a short combat distance.

Subconsciously, he glanced at the figure on the turret with the sniper rifle in his hand, and when he barely recognized that man seemed to be medical soldier Ivan, he also saw the people who were running out of the blasted basement, supporting each other. The wounded and even the corpses that were carried out together!

Before Leva could finish his sentence, he had already sped up his pace and rushed towards a burnt tank with a body still left behind. He crawled under the tank with his sniper rifle in his hand.

Before the words fell, Wei Ran put away the camera without waiting for the other party's consent, helped Vasli jump out of the carriage, and followed Leva into the ruins of the collapsed shopping mall.

Wei Ran, who had lost an arm, helped the messenger Vasli, who had lost a leg, to get out of the car and asked before getting out of the car. At the same time, he also took out the Kyiv 30 camera in his arms, pointed at the people in the car and pressed the shutter.

After another low-pitched gunshot, the infantry fighting vehicle that was still turning around on the spot seemed to lose control immediately, relying on the two counter-moving tracks to turn in circles on the spot.

"Crack!"

Fortunately, although he sent himself back to this commercial building, the weapons on his body have not changed much. Not only are there sniper rifles and pistols, but even the submachine guns that were captured at the beginning are not lacking. There is still the Walkman and several grenades in it!

And before those Chechens around moved their firepower to the second puff of smoke, the cheating Wei Ran once again used his magical powers and ran away!

When the last high-explosive bomb was fired, a soldier who staggered out of the infantry vehicle had no time to react, his shoulders were raised and exploded silently in the scope, and the rest of his body was also straight. He fell back into the compartment of the infantry chariot again!
"call--"

"what about you?"

"Help! I'll kill the people around, you go around and look for bazookas!"

At the same time that Wei Ran's hand was holding his calloused hand together, the former also pulled the trigger of the micro-sound pistol hidden in the cuff, accurately hitting the latter's liver, and at the same time pulling him His hand was drawn close to his bosom.

Hearing this, Leva, who was observing the left and right, immediately looked straight ahead, followed by a sinking heart.

Before the helmet completely covered the not-so-big shooting hole, a bullet accurately hit the helmet, and easily knocked it aside.

"Kelero Yarmolenko, I remember your name, I hope we will have a chance to meet outside the battlefield in the future, and I will buy you a drink then!"

Wei Ran was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the right arm with only a layer of skin still connected, he immediately uttered a series of screams amidst the gushing blood!

Throwing away the table leg in his hand, Wei Ran shook his numb arm, stood up with difficulty leaning on the wall, took off the backpack and took out the VSS micro-sound sniper rifle that was disassembled inside.

Until this time, he finally understood the biggest disadvantage of his set of anti-tank weapons compared to the contemporary Simonov anti-tank gun he had just discovered - it was too heavy!

"Crack!"

Seeing the right opportunity, Wei Ran pulled the heavy trigger again. The moment the high-explosive bomb hit the side of the infantry fighting vehicle, he clearly saw in the scope that three or four of them were holding their guns madly. The Chechens who were shooting shot suddenly had a blood mist around their waists, one of them was the closest, and even the entire upper body was completely separated from the drive and broke into two sections!
Gently moving the muzzle of the gun, Wei Ran, who had already changed his shoulder against the butt of the gun, pulled the trigger again and again for Captain Karp and the others expressionlessly, and time and time again, those who were hiding beside or even behind the infantry fighting vehicle People were destroyed into bloody pieces!

On the other side of the third floor of Tongzilou, Wei Ran stabbed the thick muzzle out of a shooting hole again, aimed at the driver's position of the infantry vehicle, and decisively fired a powerful tungsten-core armor-piercing bullet again. !
"boom!"

"Dang!"

Even, above the turret, there is a figure manipulating a machine gun, frantically suppressing the sniper who just sniped Wei Ran!

"Boom! Boom!"

"Throw away the communication equipment!"

"Do you think the captain betrayed us?"

The soldier in charge of driving asked before Ivan and Leva got out of the car carrying Opuya's body and Yakov, the deputy shooter who lost his legs.

Leva also loaded the sniper rifle in his hand. In the last rays of the setting sun, holding the gun and leading Wei Ran, he walked out of the shopping mall in large strides, just like when they hid here. Next to the blond girl who was strangled on steel bars after jumping from the building and was naked until her death, she walked towards the direction they came with a blank expression.

As the drug took effect, the severed arm gradually became numb and lost the pain.

He almost crawled back to the second floor, but he didn't rush to fire this time. Instead, he hid in the dark corridor and replaced the anti-tank gun with high-explosive bombs and matching muzzle brakes again!
"boom!"

It took a lot of time for Wei Ran and Leva to come over this section of the road just now, but it was extremely fast to take the infantry chariot.

On the way, he even pulled out the well-made P88 pistol from his waist indifferently, and with a cruel smile, he shot dead a Russian soldier who was nailed to a wooden telephone pole and had his eyes gouged out .

Wei Ran heaved a sigh of relief, pulled out the empty magazine and replaced it with a new one.Then, before he could decide which shoulder to use next to counteract the huge recoil, he felt his right arm heat up, followed by a sharp pain!
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

However, just after such a short time, an infantry chariot rumbled over at the intersection he and Leva had just passed!

After placing the last directional mine, Leva picked up the French sniper rifle again and asked in a low voice.

While handing two directional mines to a wounded person in the carriage, Leva looked at the soldier of the 131st Brigade of the Russian Army who was driving and said, "You need to take a gamble now, either go back to the basement just now and continue hiding until the end of the war, or Drive this car, take advantage of the night to leave the battlefield, now our people are attacking the presidential palace, this is the best opportunity."

"The bear cave I built two days ago"

"despair!"

Wei Ran decisively picked up the dusty assault rifle, and after repeatedly pulling the trigger to make sure it was ready for use, he picked up two intertwined magazines and pinned it to his waist.

Wei Ran, who bent his knees and kicked against the wall in order to counteract the huge recoil force, didn't care about the soreness in his shoulders at this time, he retracted his anti-tank gun as if he was hanging, got up in the smoke and dust, and played. Desperately ran to the other side of this floor.

"Are you ready?"

After the spurting blood was barely stopped, he hurriedly took out the first aid kit, pulled out the painkiller needle from it and stuck it around the wound.

"Where are we going now?"

At the same time, Leva, who hid under the tank in advance, also pulled the trigger of the silent sniper rifle in his hand, and quickly knocked down one enemy after another!

Leva paused, took out a detonator and connected it to two inconspicuous detonating wires on the wall.

It was a bit difficult to assemble the butt and the gun body together and load the bullets. He took a deep breath and was about to change the window and come out to deal with the sniper who was staring at him, but there was a sudden low pressure sound outside. The tom-tom sound of a smoothbore gun firing rapidly, and the characteristic intensive noise of a twin machine gun firing.

Almost at the same time that the shopping mall collapsed due to successive explosions, the two Su-25 fighter jets also fired rockets and cannons that almost never stopped at the intersection that made Wei Ran desperate. Strafing, then turning left while pulling up, leaving a mess and flying away!

When he came back to his senses, Wei Ran patted his dusty and blood-stained cheek with his remaining left hand, bent down to pick up the low-sounding sniper rifle he dropped earlier, and ran downstairs in a staggered manner, merging with the man who had just crawled under the wreckage of the tank. When he came out, he was looking at the sniper Leva who was in a daze in the mall.

It's over, I really want to lose my life here this time.
Wei Ran clenched his fists tightly, looked at the dust and dirt on the broken part of his right arm, took a deep breath, and resigned himself to looking at the intersection not far away.

"Fuck! It's going to kill me!"

"Soldier, what's your name?"

"Go, go."

After three consecutive shots, the smoke and dust blown by the high-pressure gas from the muffler had completely enveloped the grinning Wei Ran.

While holding a gun, Leva responded with the same enthusiasm in French, and did not forget to pay a one-handed military salute.

Waving goodbye to those Chechen soldiers rushing to the battlefield, Leva continued to walk towards the basement while carrying his gun and said, "Those Chechen soldiers are all going to reinforce the battlefield of the Presidential Palace. This is a rare opportunity. We can take advantage of it." When the fighting over there is fierce, help Ivan and the others escape quickly."

"They lost contact," Leva said worriedly.

"Kerero Yarmolenko!" cried the soldier.

"Ready" Wei Ran responded in a low voice, and at the same time loaded the submachine gun in his hand.

After the second gunshot, he didn't dare to stop at all, resisting the pain in his shoulders, aimed at the remaining periscopes on the infantry tank and pulled the trigger again and again!
Almost when there was only the last bullet left in his chamber, and when he couldn't even pull the trigger due to the recoil, the infantry combat vehicle suspected to be driven by Ivan and others finally turned the turret around!

"Do you suspect the bell ringer?" Ivan frowned and asked in French, and at the same time gave Wei Ran a burst of painkillers.

At this last moment when there was no hope of survival, a series of low-pitched trumpet roars suddenly appeared in the sky dyed red by the sunset!
Under Wei Ran's sluggish gaze, two Su-25 fighter jets approaching quickly appeared in the blood-red sky!
Also under his sluggish gaze, the two fighter jets started to straf the ground with their respective cannons at a distance!At the same time, one of them dropped two bombs at the shopping mall where they used to hide under the watchful eyes of Wei Ran at the moment of a low-altitude dive!

Not only that, but at this time the turret of this infantry tank had already aimed at a building diagonally opposite him and fired shells one after another as if free of money!

Without even thinking about it, Wei Ran dropped the silent sniper rifle in his hand, and took out his precious anti-tank gun again at the fastest speed!

While speaking, Leva took off the FR-F2 sniper rifle in his hand and threw it on a broken sofa, "So we must die here, and then secretly investigate this matter. Comrades, I suspect that someone Want to sell us for a good price!"

"Leva"

Wei Ran, who had been trying to speak just now, sped up his speech when the metal book loosened his mouth and asked, "The details of the bell ringer!"

In the intense white light coming from the pavement, Wei Ran, who only had time to ask a question, uttered a curse, and then he felt an unbearably strong and long pain from his right arm!
