In order to cope with the current situation in Jilin, Ren Chao mobilized more than 95 percent of the snipers of the Tiger Ben Army to Jilin to participate in the war. Today, there are nearly a thousand snipers active on various fronts outside Jilin.

As for the origin of the word sniper, it first originated in India during the British colonial period, because when the British colonized India, British officials or nobles also had the custom of hunting in the Indian countryside or wilderness. This is why the word sniper is derived from the word "sniper", which is why high-precision rifles are called "sniperrifles".

However, with the changes in precision and technology of the times, sniper rifles also require professional operators, so snipers operating sniper rifles must also receive professional sniper shooting training to meet tactical needs; The broad definition includes a military rifle or a civilian shotgun that can be called a sniper rifle when it is equipped with a scope, and the owner or operator of the firearm may also be called a sniper.

As early as the Civil War, some Confederate soldiers were equipped with British Whitworthrifle rifles with 3x scopes, and set a long-range sniper record of 800 yards. The earliest sniper rifles were like the sniper rifles mentioned above in a broad definition, but they were more masculine, and even only with the "sight barrel", the shooter "used the barrel to peep at the object".

However, the importance of snipers in the war has not been paid enough attention by countries around the world, and the armies of various countries have begun to recognize the value of sniper rifles, but it was not until World War I fell into a stalemate in trench warfare that sniper rifles were found to be able to play a one-sided tactical flexibility and effect in trench warfare, so a large number of them were turned out of the armory and sent to the front line, as for the first official military sniper rifle, it is believed that it was the Lee Enfield rifle MKIII model.

Another peak of sniper rifles was during World War II, when it was the norm of World War I, and sniper rifles were the norm for troops in World War II. Basically, each squad (Squad) must be equipped with a sniper and a sniper rifle, rather than being equipped for mission requirements like World War I. The sniper rifle still maintains the ancient hand-held method (no tripod) in World War II, with a 2.5x scope, and more cheek supports that are not available in ordinary rifles; By the end of the war, the number of snipers in all warring countries had indeed grown considerably, including their equipment, and they were all used to the fullest in their duties and efficiency in various ground missions.

However, Ren Chao, as a traverser, naturally knew the importance of snipers in modern warfare, so he began to train snipers very early. Ren Chao not only ordered the Qingdao Arsenal to develop a new type of sniper rifle, but also opened a sniper training school in Jinan. It was the first sniper training school in the world at that time.

Every month, the Tiger Army will send a group of outstanding soldiers with potential from various units to enter the sniper training school for special and regular training, and now the scale of this school is constantly expanding, and it can train at least 1,000 qualified snipers for the Tiger Army every year. Of course, these snipers still need to be tested in actual combat before they can really grow into a good sniper.

After Ren Chao put a large number of snipers on the front line, he quickly received a huge return. At the beginning, the Russian army simply could not get used to this special way of fighting, many Russian soldiers, and even some senior commanders who visited the front line. Inexplicably, he was sent directly to heaven by bullets that flew from nowhere.

On the most brilliant day of the snipers' victory, more than 3,000 Russian troops were killed by the snipers, including a major general and three colonels, and more than a dozen middle and senior generals. Of course, after paying such a heavy price. The Russian army has also become more careful, and it is not so easy for snipers to snipe the Russian army.

But even so, there are still hundreds, if not thousands, of Russian troops every day, who are sniped by the snipers of the Tiger Army due to carelessness. A few hundred people seem inconsequential to the Russian army, which has more than 100,000 troops. But it's hundreds of people a day, and thousands of people in ten days! Such huge losses are simply unbearable for the Russian army.

Not to mention the addition of these deadly snipers. The Tiger Army also launched small-scale attacks from time to time, although the scale was not large. But every time it can inflict some losses on the Russian army.

Therefore, now the Russian army outside Jilin City has to pay the price of thousands of people every day, and the Tiger Ben Army is like a sharp knife, constantly cutting pieces of flesh and blood from the Russian army, constantly consuming the strength of the Russian army.

"Your Excellency Governor, 683 more people were killed by Qing snipers today, including Colonel Tumenev of the 2nd Regiment of the 4th Brigade of the 2nd Division of the 1st Army, and in the three attacks launched by the Qing army during the day today, a total of 456 people were killed and more than 400 wounded. Today we have a total of 1,139 killed. Five others died of illness and fifty-six seriously wounded died......"

"That's it! Say no more~! Alekseev, the Governor-General of the Russian Far East, unceremoniously interrupted the adjutant's report, and at this time Alekseev's old face had completely swelled into a blue purple, and his whole person began to tremble slightly with anger.

Alekseev did not go with the army, but stayed in his governor's palace and enjoyed the happy life that a nobleman should have. Alekseev arrogantly thought that he would not need his old man to deal with the decaying and declining Qing government and fight against those Qing troops who had no combat effectiveness at all. However, after the main force of the Tiger Ben Army arrived in Jilin, the two sides fought several times, and the Russian army was defeated in successive battles. Alekseev naturally attributed all the blame for the defeat to the incompetence of the front-line generals, so Alekseev decided to personally go out and teach those hateful yellow-skinned monkeys a good lesson.

But this Alekseev himself was born in the Navy, and although he didn't know anything about the Army, he was about the same. Even this admiral has most of the water in it. If it weren't for his origin, this guy's talent would not have been able to climb to where he is today. Speaking of the origin of this old fellow, it is very promising, he is the illegitimate son of Tsar Alexander II, that is, the uncle of the current Tsar Nicholas II. (To be continued......)
