Chapter 206: The Iron Cross

One instructor wanted to use the film to educate the instructors.

"This is what our spies got from the Soviets!" The instructor said: "Compared to them, we simply don't know anything. See how they train, then learn their tricks and use it against your enemies! ”

What appears on the screen is a black-and-white picture with snowflakes, and the Soviet Red Army soldiers in the camera always have sunny and confident smiles on their faces...... At that moment, Qin Chuan had the urge to rush up and smash the projector, these people were not snipers at all, they were more like actors.

The subsequent episode is what the instructor taught in the course, and some things are simply common sense, such as facing two windows, one with glass and the other without glass, then the enemy is more likely to hide behind the window......

Then there are some bells and whistles that don't have much practical value in camouflage techniques, some of which violate the rules of sniping.

On the screen, a Soviet sniper company climbs to the treetops at the edge of the woods, and the caption reads: "The leafy treetops are a great sniper position, the shooter will not be detected, and will also get excellent vision and excellent shooting range!" ”

"This is!" Qin Chuan couldn't help but say something.

"Student, what do you want to say?" The instructor paused the screening and asked Qin Chuan.

"Report to the instructor!" Qin Chuan replied: "It is impossible for the treetop to be an ideal sniper position, because if the shooter stays on it, he will not be able to move quickly after firing, so he will become the target of the enemy's machine gun!" ”

"I agree!" "Unless we can jump from tree to tree like monkeys!" said Werner! ”

Werner's words drew a burst of laughter.

"No, cadet!" The instructor retorted: "The trunk will be a good cover!" ”

"What if the enemy has mortars?" The thorn then asked: "The shell will explode when it hits a branch, and then we will be beaten into hedgehogs by shrapnel and branches!" ”

"Anyway!" Qin Chuan said: "I think that an untransferable sniper position is almost no different from suicide!" ”

"But at least you've killed one or two targets before that!" The instructor said: "And you must know that you are not fighting alone, the friendly forces will cover you!" ”

The instructor's explanation was a bit far-fetched, and Qin Chuan and the soldiers had no intention of entangling with the instructor any longer.

In fact, Qin Chuan knew that there was indeed a country on the battlefield that used this sniping method on a large scale during World War II...... When Japan faced the U.S. military in the Pacific theater, it often climbed trees to take shelter.

This can indeed cause some problems for the U.S. military, because it makes the forest three-dimensional, and the U.S. GIs have to pay attention not only to the ground but also to the top of their heads.

But once the sniper in the treetops is spotted, there is little chance of survival...... American GIs would blast the entire canopy with bazookas, and if one shot didn't work, two shots.

"I don't know what you guys think!" Werner said: "I wouldn't have chosen such a sniper position anyway! ”

"Of course!" The German soldiers replied with a smile: "We want to live a few more days!" ”

"So, this movie won't affect us too much!" Werner said: "It can't fool us! ”

But Qin Chuan didn't think that things were so simple.

Werner and the others knew that these methods were incorrect and did not apply because they were veterans who had come down from the battlefield and they knew what the battlefield was like. Of course, I also know that the battle on the battlefield is more common when it starts suddenly, and there is no time to prepare the camouflage in the film that takes at least half an hour or more to make.

But what about the recruits who have never been to the battlefield but have been selected for sniper school because of their good marksmanship?

They even thought that this was a valuable experience summed up by the veterans, so they stupidly did what the movie said!

What's even more terrifying is that when they know that they are wrong, they have no chance to correct it.

Qin Chuan's first thought was to report these problems to General Stryker, and then General Stryker would tell Rommel that they would be corrected eventually.

However, in principle, students are not allowed to make phone calls to the outside world, especially if Qin Chuan wants to report to his superiors or training problems, this is a bit of a small report, which may embarrass the instructors...... They were actually very conscientious instructors, and those impractical sniper skills did not even matter to them, because at this time German snipers were trained in this way.

But the next day, Qin Chuan got the opportunity.

At that time, Qin Chuan was training with his comrades in the shooting garden...... The shooting garden is professionally arranged, with a British defensive position in the northernmost part, protected by barbed wire in front of the position, and behind it are some man-made craters, depressions, sand, etc., as well as a fallen tree, and in the southernmost part is a well, a few scattered houses and bushes.

Such a "shooting garden" can make it easy for students to find various terrain and bunkers here for targeted training.

At this moment, a jeep drove into the shooting park, and the instructor hurriedly ordered the suspension of training...... The reason for this was that the trainees were using live ammunition, which could injure the people in the jeep.

"Who let them in?" The instructor couldn't help but complain.

But when he saw that it was a colonel sitting in the jeep, he didn't dare to say anything more.

It was Colonel Slane who came, he jumped out of the jeep, and then waved excitedly to Qin Chuan: "Sergeant Flick!" ”

Qin Chuan set his eyes on the instructor, and the instructor nodded.

So Qin Chuan got up from the sand and ran to Colonel Slane with a gun.

"Colonel!" Qin Chuan stepped forward and saluted.

Colonel Slain shook Qin Chuan's hand and said, "I sincerely congratulate you, Sir, I am very honored to personally present you with the Iron Ten Medal of the FΓΌhrer!" ”

As he spoke, Colonel Slane took out a box, opened it, took out a medal, pinned it to Qin Chuan's chest, and then took the supporting documents from the adjutant and handed them to Qin Chuan.

"Thank you very much, Colonel!" Qin Chuan took the certificate and saluted Colonel Slane again.

To be honest, Qin Chuan was still very excited, but not because of the medal itself, but because he had been studying the history of the German army, including the medal, and he didn't expect to get one...... And Qin Chuan also knows that what is even more rare is actually the certificate, which is printed with the regimental emblem and the reason why Qin Chuan won the medal, because it is paper, so few copies can be preserved to modern times.

"How?" Colonel Slein asked, "Is life in the bootcamp okay?" ”

"Yes, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "It's just ...... Can I talk to you? ”

"Of course!" Colonel Slane smiled and handed over a cigarette and said, "You won't be complaining about the food, it's the same for the whole army now, Sergeant!" ”

"No, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "I want to talk to you about the training materials!" ”
