in modern light weapons "Grand View Garden", there is a wide range of sniper rifles. Although these sniper rifles are similar to ordinary rifles, in consideration of improving shooting accuracy and shooting distance, they have many differences from ordinary rifles in firearm design and ammunition use. One of the most well-known and intuitive differences of is that sniper rifles often need to be equipped with high-magnification scopes.
However, the history of R&D and production of sniper rifles as a type of firearm is relatively short. In 1963, the Dragunov sniper rifle equipped by the former Soviet army was the world's first precision marksman rifle specially manufactured for its purpose. Prior to this, the sniper rifles used by snipers in various countries were only ordinary rifles equipped with a scope. For example, Vasily, the real sniper hero in the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union, described in the famous World War II movie "A Soldier Near the City", his sniper rifle is the Mosingana rifle. The rifle is the standard equipment of the Soviet infantry, almost one hand, but when Vasily is in use, it will be equipped with a z5
6z lens.
Of course, the reason why Vasily was selected for sniper missions and became the top sniper in the Soviet Red Army is not only because of his Mosingana rifle equipped with a scope. Even if you give other people a Mosingana rifle with a scope, it is impossible to hit Vasily's brilliant record, because they do not have the superb sniper skills of Vasily.
However, on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, the volunteer army gave birth to a magical sniper. He is not as famous as Vasily, and his record is not as great as Vasily, but he relied on a Mosingana rifle without a scope to become the "ace sniper", the legend is no less than Vasily. The name of this sniper is Zhang Taofang.
Zhang Taofang was born in 1931 in an ordinary peasant family in Xinghua, Jiangsu. When Zhang Taofang was young, he realized the cruelty of war, his character was more determined and his mind was more mature. In 1946, Zhang Taofang, who was less than 16, became the head of the children's group. Although was too young, the organization did not approve him to join regular troops or guerrillas, but Zhang Taofang led the children's regiment to fight against the local armed forces for a long time, and also accumulated a lot of experience and cultivated good psychological quality. These experiences laid the foundation for Zhang Taofang to grow up as a top sniper in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
In 1950, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea broke out. Zhang Taofang actively responded to the call and signed up to join the army in March 1951, and arrived on the battlefield with the army in September 1952.
At that time, more than a year had passed since the beginning of the truce negotiations on July 10, 1951. Because the armistice agreement could not reach a consensus, the coalition forces headed by the United States violated the "rules" and carried out offensives. Volunteers carried out a "cold gun and cold gun" campaign on the 38th parallel of the confrontation between the two sides. talk". The
"cold gun and cold gun" movement originated from the "cold gun" mission initiated by the Volunteer Army headquarters on January 29, 1951. At that time, the frontline garrison was required to regularly organize special marksmen to shoot and kill single targets of the coalition forces. In May 1951, the movement expanded into a sniper movement within the scope of the entire Volunteer Army, and then in August 1951, artillery also joined it, and finally formed a military-wide "cold gun and cold gun" movement.
After Zhang Taofang's 24th Army 72nd Division 214 Regiment arrived at the front line, he did not go directly to the front line to confront the coalition forces. Instead, he organized emergency training in the rear station to prepare for war. In response to the "cold gun and cold gun" movement, the 214 regiment often organizes live fire training. On the shooting range, Zhang Taofang's shooting talent was revealed. After training for a period of time, he actually achieved ten shots!
With such excellent results in live ammunition, Zhang Taofang attracted the attention of the battalion and company officials, and even his name was registered with the regiment chief. So in January 1953, after the 214th regiment went to the front line, Zhang Taofang's 8th company immediately appointed Zhang Taofang as a company sniper to participate in the "cold gun and cold gun" campaign. At that time, Zhang Taofang used an improved version of the Mosingana rifle —M1944 carbine, without scope.
Zhang Taofang’s experience is that 100 meters can shoot ten shots at a chest ring target, which does not mean that you can refer to where to shoot on the battlefield, because there are many factors that affect shooting on the battlefield. For example: the variable distance between the shooter and the target, the variable height difference between the shooter and the target, the movement of the target, the mental quality of the shooter and the sniper environment at that time, etc. Therefore, Zhang Taofang, who lacked actual combat experience, did not succeed in the first sniper mission. But Zhang Taofang was not discouraged. In his spare time, he kept asking the old snipers about the basics of sniping on the battlefield. He trained hard to aim at the gun without leaving his hand. Finally, Zhang Taofang, who was extremely talented in shooting, understood the sniper experience taught by the old sniper, and successfully killed an American soldier when he participated in the second sniper operation. Immediately afterwards, after Zhang Taofang experienced continuous learning, training and actual combat, his sniper level became higher and higher. really changed from a " sharpshooter " on the shooting range to a " sniper on the battlefield." " .
With his excellent record, Zhang Taofang was selected by the company and sent to the regiment shooting training team for training. Those who can participate in this training team are the top sniper masters in each company in the regiment. Zhang Taofang has even more advanced sniper skills in the exchanges with other snipers. Because the level of these sniper masters is difficult to distinguish from the "dead target" on the shooting range, they often compare each other with whoever shoots faster and who hits a smaller target.
If Zhang Taofang was famous before, then Zhang Taofang at this time was extremely famous in the 214th Regiment and even the 72nd Division, because Zhang Taofang was undoubtedly the first in the 214th shooting training team. Z5z’s comrades recalled that Zhang Taofang’s target shooting was almost the 10 ring when he raised his hand and shot, and there was no need to aim in the middle. I am afraid that for Zhang Taofang, the series of shooting actions in the shooting range have formed a solid muscle memory. As long as the rifle is flat-ended, he can naturally complete the three-point and one-line aiming. What's even more powerful is that Zhang Taofang did not choose to shoot when the training team finally organized the assessment. Since can hit ten rings without any suspense, Zhang Taofang increased the difficulty and applied for " little sparrow " on the shooting range. As a result, Zhang Taofang fired the 5 gun and shot down the z5
6z sparrow, winning the cheers of the surrounding comrades and the approval of the leader.
returned from the training team to the company. In the next sniper combat, Zhang Taofang fully demonstrated the absolute strength of a top sniper. Every time he went on a mission, he never missed any misses and was rewarded, which made Zhang Taofang's reputation as a sharpshooter spread among the 24th Army. Pi Dingjun, the then 24 army commander, learned of Zhang Taofang's deeds, and specially arranged for staff officers to bring a pair of brand-new leather boots to the 214 regiment to investigate Zhang Taofang's strength. Pi Dingjun ordered the staff: "If is true, give him the boots; if it is fake, take the boots back. "
Zhang Taofang learned that the commander was going to investigate him, so he immediately picked up his gun and went to the sniper stand to perform. Sniper mission. In this mission, Zhang Taofang selected three American soldiers who were collecting firewood in the woods beside the enemy's position as the target. Because the target flickers and appears and is constantly in motion, it is difficult. But for Zhang Taofang, who raised his hand to beat Flying Bird, it was not too difficult. He only fired three shots to solve these three enemies and successfully won the army commander's leather boots. A sharpshooter appeared in the
volunteer army, which quickly attracted the attention of the coalition forces. In order to kill Zhang Taofang, the U.S. military called sharpshooters to challenge Zhang Taofang many times, but they were defeated by Zhang Taofang. According to Zhang Taofang's recollection, there was one matchup, which he thought was the most thrilling.
On that day, Zhang Taofang moved along the traffic ditch to the scheduled sniper platform as usual. Suddenly a bullet rubbed his scalp and hit the traffic ditch wall with dust. Zhang Taofang immediately got down, knowing that he had met a master. Because he is concealed in the traffic ditch, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the enemy to find him. Now the enemy on the other side actually found him,So just relying on such a keen observation, it is definitely not a "mediocre". In addition, the first shot almost hit him on the head. With such a precise shooting technique, Zhang Taofang judged him to be a master.
As the enemy came prepared and occupied the sniper position early, Zhang Taofang, who was hiding in the traffic ditch, was in the downwind. He could neither fight back nor observe the enemy’s position, so he must occupy a sniper platform suitable for observation and shooting. . But thinking of reaching the sniper platform, you have to jump up from the traffic ditch and jump into a relatively exposed open space. This open space will be the "best position" for the opponent to "result" himself.
Zhang Taofang tried to lift his helmet with a gun to attract the enemy to shoot, so as to gain a short time to jump to the sniper station. But the opponent saw through his intentions and did not shoot the fake target. At this time, Zhang Taofang could completely avoid his edge and withdraw to the position. However, Zhang Taofang, who was eager to fight against the master, did not escape, he decided to risk rushing through the exposed open space.
Zhang Taofang crawls on the ground, waiting for his opponent to relax. Just when Zhang Taofang judged that the enemy might think he had withdrawn, he quickly jumped out of the traffic ditch and rushed to the sniper station. Sure enough, the enemy did not shoot Zhang Taofang as soon as Zhang Taofang jumped out of the traffic ditch. But the opponent was a master after all, and in an instant, when Zhang Taofang was about to jump into the sniper platform, another bullet hit him. The bullet chased Zhang Taofang's back heel, forcing Zhang Taofang to lose her center of gravity and fall into the bunker behind the sniper platform. The situation at that time was really dangerous and dangerous.
Then, when Zhang Taofang saw that the enemy was no longer shooting, he slowly poked his head out of the bunker, trying to find the opponent who almost "resulted" in him. According to the direction of the bullet, Zhang Taofang found two machine gun bunkers in the enemy position. But he quickly judged that his opponent was definitely not in these two bunkers. One is because the camouflage of the two machine gun bunkers is too rough, as if they were deliberately discovered by Zhang Taofang; the other is because the machine guns are shooting in the wrong direction. So Zhang Taofang knew that his opponent must also observe his position on the opposite side. The enemy planned to use these two machine gun bunkers to tempt himself to shoot, expose himself to position, and then he killed himself.
So Zhang Taofang settled down and continued to observe. When he was hiding in the bunker and found the trail of his opponent through careful search, he did not expect that the moment he was about to raise his gun and shoot, the opponent would also spot him. The enemy tilted his head away from Zhang Taofang's muzzle, tightly. Then another shot hit Zhang Taofang. Zhang Taofang hurriedly hid in the bunker.
's position was exposed, and the opponent panicked immediately. Zhang Taofang was a sharpshooter in the volunteer army. At first, he had the upper hand and failed to kill Zhang Taofang. Now his position is exposed. As long as Zhang Taofang fights back, then he will die. So the opponent started to shoot every few seconds, trying to avoid giving Zhang Taofang a chance to fight back.
Zhang Taofang, who was hiding behind the bunker, was not in a hurry. He saw fear from the random shooting of his opponent. Zhang Taofang quietly observed the opponent's shooting pattern. After a long period of observation, Zhang Taofang found that his opponent believed that Zhang Taofang was hiding on the left side of the bunker, so the main shooting position was the left side of the bunker. The right side was not shot many times, and the shooting was between the left and the right because of the gun. There was a slight pause in the turning of the mouth.
So Zhang Taofang, who was originally hidden on the left side of the bunker, quietly switched to the right side of the bunker. When he confirmed that his opponent had not found his position change and was still on the left side of the main shooting bunker, he took advantage of the opponent shooting to the left side of the bunker. Quickly come out from the right side of the bunker, shoot, aim, and fire, complete instantly, and directly kill the opponent. At this moment, Zhang Taofang even saw his opponent, and the opponent also spotted Zhang Taofang, who quickly turned the muzzle and pulled the trigger. Because Zhang Taofang was a few tenths of a second faster than the opponent, when Zhang Taofang's bullet penetrated the opponent's head, the opponent did not completely complete the aim, and the opponent's bullet again flew past Zhang Taofang's scalp. Zhang Taofang will never forget a matchup like
. Zhang Taofang used an ordinary rifle without a scope to achieve the effect of a sniper rifle. For more than a month, he killed and injured the enemy 214 with 442 bullets in front-line combat. It is undoubtedly a miracle.
