Chapter 283 - 283 281 The First True Sniper Battle

283: Chapter 281 The First True Sniper Battle 283: Chapter 281 The First True Sniper Battle Gao Yang redirected all his attention back to the target area he had just abandoned, focusing entirely on the window behind which a bright light had just flashed.

Above the shipyard that had been illuminated, there was an awning that made the room even darker and more difficult to observe.

But it was precisely because of the awning above the window that Gao Yang was able to spot an inconspicuous streak of light on the windowsill.

Under the blazing sun, looking from outside into a window, one would find darkness within; it was very hard to see anyone hiding inside with the naked eye.

Although Gao Yang detected the light, he quickly realized that the particular window was actually not receiving any direct sunlight, so the source of the flash remained a mystery.

Gao Yang could not afford to ponder the source of the flash any longer.

He immediately put down his binoculars and attached a filter to his scope, but the result was still not great.

Consequently, Gao Yang simply snapped on the sunshade that was used for combat in bright light conditions.

The sunshade had only a small hole, and together with the coated filter lens, Gao Yang adjusted the light filtering of the scope to its limit.

Even in the very bright daylight, the light inside the scope was as dim as it could possibly be.

Under the harsh sunlight, filtering out the excess light inside the scope greatly aided in spotting targets in the dark.

However, after attaching the sunshade, the already small field of view in the scope became even narrower, so after pinpointing the direction, Gao Yang raised his gun and aimed at the window that had emitted the light.

“Found you, finally found you.

Don’t let me down, show yourself!”

Muttering to himself, Gao Yang aimed his gun at his target.

Through the scope, Gao Yang could see that there were likely two people behind the window.

Due to the angle, when Gao Yang looked at the window diagonally across from him, he could only see the front half of a large sniper rifle but could not see the shooter behind it.

Additionally, he could see two raised elbows, which most likely belonged to someone using binoculars to observe.

Seeing the body of the large sniper gun, Gao Yang knew he had found the right place.

The enemies were a sniper team, although it was unclear if the sniper and the observer were also the mortar observers, but at this point, it was irrelevant.

Gao Yang had already located the enemy’s position, but he did not have the opportunity to fire his weapon.

Considering the angle of the enemy sniper rifle’s muzzle, it, too, was aimed at Gao Yang, with just a slight deviation in angle.

Gao Yang estimated that the enemy’s bullets would land a bit to the right of his position.

Gao Yang and the enemy had both moved into firing positions, drawing their distance closer to about two hundred and seventy meters.

Although this made them nearer to each other, the angle had become smaller, leaving them only a gap less than a meter wide to utilize for a shot.

Gao Yang pointed the crosshairs of his scope at a spot on the window, with no doubt that the enemy was trying to locate him.

To get a view of Gao Yang’s position, they would have to expose themselves to his muzzle because observation and shooting were a two-way street; one must reveal themselves before targeting their opponent.

Undoubtedly, Gao Yang had gained the upper hand this time because he had discovered the enemy’s traces first, thus firmly securing the opportunity for victory.

However, the enemy never turned their gaze in his direction; the observer did not reveal themselves.

The observer did not offer a chance to be shot, which meant he was not watching Gao Yang’s area.

This puzzled Gao Yang as it seemed unlikely the enemy would ignore the window he occupied without paying attention.

The only explanation was that the enemy had already

Now that the enemy was aware of the opposing sniper, their shots would not be taken lightly.

Gao Yang wanted to find a target that appeared valuable enough to use as bait, so it wouldn’t seem like he was exposing himself intentionally.

Gao Yang had to assume his opponent was the fiercest possible.

In fact, the enemy sniper’s performance also seemed to be at that level, so he needed to find an opportunity, a chance to lure the enemy out.

Gao Yang was not in a hurry.

He feared the enemy might move again, but he would rather search for the enemy’s trail again than alarm them prematurely, nor would he expose himself if the enemy refused to take the bait.

In this duel, the consequences of a mistake were grave.

Gao Yang refused to make mistakes because that meant death.

So, he had all the patience to wait it out, waiting for the enemy to make a mistake, or for a sufficiently tempting bait to appear, so he could take the initiative to swallow it.
