Section 280 Cold killers who dominate the battlefield

The debut of the "Silent Killer" didn't seem to cause a stir, except of course for the persistent Yunjie brother who waited in the evening breeze. The sharpshooters he wanted to see were busy in the courtyard fifty meters away, not picking up the corpses, but an officer looking through the corpses one by one, constantly gesturing something, and the other guys in military uniforms without any signs and rifles with monocular binoculars were all around, as if they were also discussing something, and some of them were opening their notebooks to record.

This scene surprised this Yunjie brother very much, you must know that the current illiteracy rate in China is more than 95%, and Qiu Ba's Chinese people are even rarer, and some grassroots officers may not be literate, but everyone in this army seems to be able to read and write, like the two guards who are accompanying him have already studied in the army primary school, and are now studying in the army camp academy, as if they can be admitted to the Zaolin Military Academy, they will have the opportunity to become officers. In other words, the growth process of most officers in the Wehrmacht is the process of growing up from the army primary school to the camp school and then to the military academy; during this period, not only has the military quality improved a lot, but also the cultural foundation is also good; in addition, from the age of 15 to the age of 18, they all acted with the army, and three years of military camp life is enough for them to master the experience of the grass-roots level.

This would explain why those sharpshooters were able to conduct on-the-spot analysis after the war, summarize lessons and learn from each other's strengths, because they had basic cultural qualities, there were no barriers to listening, speaking, reading and writing, and the learning thinking brought from school allowed them to effectively sum up their experience and discuss with each other.

They had been waiting patiently for half an hour, and only after the scene meeting of these sharpshooters was over did they come to meet with this Yunjie brother. Brother Yun was originally a professional soldier, with an honest appearance, a simple style, and a very affinity, and these silent killers who looked a little wooden gradually opened up the conversation, so that he could reveal a little bit of the truth of the world's first professional sniper.

First of all, the sniper was born from the ordinary sharpshooter, but the difference between the two has been very obvious, whether in terms of tactical comprehensiveness or battlefield role, professional snipers, especially the established snipers who have undergone rigorous training and running-in, are not comparable to individual sharpshooters. The emergence of this type of military seems to be attributed to Wu Chenxuan, the founder of the sniper world, who used his unique training methods and accurate and practical teaching materials to make the students of the sniper school quickly have a pair of calm and experienced hands, making these hands as if they were born to pull sniper rifles.

The Sniper Training School, run by the Defence Forces, receives applications from about 300 first-class shooters from Defence Force units each term. They are the sharpshooters of the various units, but the requirements in the sniper school are even stricter: each of them must hit the first shot of any target, whether it is 0 or 600 meters. For the shooters who apply for admission, in addition to the background information and shooting skill base, the most important thing is the only question asked in the interview: "What we want you to do is very simple, is to use your eyes to search for the target from the sniper telescope, find the target, indifferently pull the trigger, and then watch the enemy's head burst out of the brain and plasma." Would you like to do such a thing?" Anyone who hesitates to answer will be eliminated immediately, because snipers have no right to hesitate. As a result, only 150 of the 300 applicants were able to continue their studies.

In the shooting training course, the instructors did not use ordinary portrait flat targets, they put on the wooden targets in enemy uniforms or even civilian clothes and stuffed them with grass, and then poured the paint packets into oiled paper packets and put on hats as targets. His reason for doing this was: "Have you ever seen an enemy on the battlefield with a white plank hanging on his chest, with circles and numbers on it?" The enemy won't stand up and pose for you to fight, they'll just stick their heads out of their bunkers like rats and peek around, and that's the rat head I want you to hit. You must be familiar with the bloody footage of the rupture of the skull in and out of the plasma like pig blood, you must not be intimidated, and you must not take your eyes off the sniper scope. Even though there is a bloody scene in the camera, you have to watch quietly to see if he is really dead, no, and make up another shot. If you can't get used to it, or even feel guilty, you'll hesitate the next time you pull the trigger, and the next time, you'll find that it's your head that gets into the blood, and you'll end your sniping career with a bullet from an opponent's rifle. ”

The IDF sniper school is located in the depths of Hua Ma Wan. In this closed and remote mountainous terrain, the shooters can train wholeheartedly without being disturbed by the war. They have their own 1,000-meter long-distance shooting range, and they also have 100,000 rounds of ammunition per session specially issued by their superiors, which can be used by students to practice shooting without restrictions during the 13 weeks of rigorous training, so that they can shoot even in their sleep. Perhaps they are assigned to the front line, and the number of live ammunition consumed on the battlefield is only a few hundred, or even only a few dozen, but the dozens of actual combat shooting warheads that are "raised" by thousands of live ammunition exercises will be embedded in the enemy's skull or heart.

At the beginning of the school's establishment, Chief of General Staff Duan Qirui inspected the training school, and after the students' superb shooting performances, General Staff Duan asked the instructors how many bullets would it take to train these shooters every day. An instructor replied that each person shot about one and a half pounds of bullet shells every day. Duan Zhiquan asked again if this kind of consumption was a little too expensive? The instructors humorously replied: "General Staff Duan, do you think that the life of an enemy commander on the battlefield can be worth several bullets a day?" ”

In the end-of-training test, his cadets had to find a target within 15 seconds to hit at any required distance, and they were trained in how to use a sniper rifle in close combat within 30 meters, allowing them to charge like a commando with a 14-pound sniper rifle. After each of them was trained in nearly 20,000 rounds of live ammunition, they not only became sniper masters, but also became snipers with sniper rifles to hit moving targets 100 meters away in half-moonlight conditions.

The Wehrmacht spent considerable effort to train these excellent snipers because Wu Chenxuan knew that many countries in later generations, even powerful countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom, did not attach importance to the application of sniper warfare, the training of snipers and the purchase of sniper equipment, so he suffered the losses of many enemy snipers in several battles. In the Middle East, the most non-stop region after World War II, Egypt trained snipers from the British early on, while the Syrians trained shooters from Soviet sniper advisers, and also purchased thousands of sniper rifles and state-of-the-art night vision optical sights from Austria.

As the chief instructor of the sniper school, Yang Chenguang not only wants the snipers of the Wehrmacht to be ahead of others, but even surpasses all enemy snipers. Even at the end of the training, Yang Chenguang continued to instruct the team members: "There are no second-rate characters among my students. ”

Brother Yun didn't know that these snipers had also gone through inhuman inhuman infiltration training, anti-torture training, artillery guidance training, wilderness survival training, and even mastered the means of quickly arranging trapping and deceitful mines. The snipers who can survive to get the Cross Star Sniper badge are all as skilled as the secret service team, of course, some of them are picked by the special forces and become a member of the special forces, most of them will become snipers in formations, and of course, there are individual snipers who have joined the mood and coordinated the two places, and become a shadow killer with a murder license.

In this campaign, the platoon commander of the sniper platoon divided his men into groups of two for suppression tasks. With concealment and accurate archery, the opponent's majestic cannon has been turned into scrap metal. Of course, this has something to do with the large amount of lurking and searching training content in their training, in fact, by the time they graduate, it is difficult for even the instructor to use the telescope to search for their hidden location, of course, it is impossible to fool the instructor at close range, but on the battlefield, if the enemy can get close to such a close range, the sniper has lost its effect, and his function will not be better than that of an infantryman. Accurate archery skills are naturally fed by scientific training and a large number of bullets, but the cooperation between several groups and the tacit understanding between snipers and observers directly determine their life and death on the battlefield, and no one dares to be careless about this.

With these successful tactical applications, the Wehrmacht has considerable experience and unique knowledge of sniper warfare. At present, the sniper tactics of the Wehrmacht have begun to expand to include sniping at enemy vehicle units, artillery units, cavalry units and infantry positions. For example, in the application of anti-vehicle sniper tactics, the sniper platoon commander assigns each sniper to a grenadier or mortar group. After discovering the position of the enemy vehicle unit, first let the artillery weapons personnel find a favorable firing position and then lay in ambush, when the enemy vehicle enters the range of 300 meters; The snipers kill all the drivers of the cars in an instant after the commander's salvo is given, leaving the driver out of control and becoming a lamb to the slaughter, and the driver's position is separated from the cabin, and any infantryman who tries to save him or replace him must be exposed to the car and become the next sniper target.

The same is to deal with mobile troops, and to deal with the armored troops in the future, the seat allocation of the combat vehicle is often the front of the driver's seat, two loaders and aiming shooters sit in the middle of the left and right, and the commander is the commander on the right, and the driver who sits in the front is dead, and the personnel behind are easy to find out immediately and notify other combat vehicles by radio to take precautions. According to experience, the commander who sat in the back often had nearly 10 seconds to die inside or outside the car, regardless of whether he was killed, and it was still difficult for the gunner and driver who sat in front with their backs to the commander to find out, and most of the people in charge of communication and lookout on the car were the commanders, so there was no contact between the cars and no warning to each other. In a short 10 seconds, friendly anti-armor shooters in ambush in multiple locations immediately destroyed all vehicles that had entered a range of 500 meters from back to front, taking out one convoy at a time.

There are many differences between the tactics of cavalry units and infantry units, when dealing with infantry, they will first hit officers or communication soldiers, of course, if the other side has snipers is the highest priority target, and then there are natural enemies of snipers such as mortars and machine guns, and ordinary infantry is not considered, and when they run into range, snipers either retreat or have beaten them to the point that they can't hold their heads up. The cavalry unit is the target that makes the sniper scratch his head very much, unless the opponent has an advantage in camping or their own position and mobility, it is better to be safe.

Wu Chenxuan was not ashamed to plagiarize the sniper tactics gained by many armies in later generations in actual combat experience and the new tactics developed based on experience. For a country that has been war-torn for a long time, it is indeed a valuable experience worth learning. Like a dormant king cobra, the Wehrmacht's sniper units are ready at any time to receive orders for special tasks and launch a deadly "nirvana attack" against the enemy in the next battle! A lethal blow is never a term in fantasy.
