World War II snipers
. In fact, the mysterious snipers who have been mythical by film and television dramas are also the pride of the national army team.
Famous snipers have been born in many countries in the war years or in modern combat, especially in the largest war in human history-World War II, with extensive street fighting and diversified combat modes , Also provides a large number of battlefields for snipers. And snipers in World War II should be the cheapest means of killing.
According to incomplete statistics, a top sniper only needs 5 rounds of ammunition to cause casualties to the enemy, which is only 1/40 of the ammunition consumed by the enemy in World War II.
World War II Hero of the Soviet Union Vasily Stills
The prototype of the movie "Arrived at the City" Vasily killed more than 240 German troops in combat, while his old opponent German Major Mahaus Heznauya killed at least 300 The Soviet army. However, it was Finn Simmons who created the sniper record during World War II. He raised this number to 500, which is equivalent to a battalion of Soviet troops (even TV dramas do not dare to do this). Carrying a sled and white cold-proof camouflage during the battle, he was the nightmare of the Soviet army, so he also got the nickname of white death .

However, surprisingly, there are few well-known Japanese snipers records among many participating countries. It is important to know that the quality of individual soldiers in Japan ranks among the forefront of all participating countries in World War II. , The Japanese army with a full-motion rifle drove the British and American forces to run around in the Southeast Asian battlefield at the beginning of the war.
So what is the reason that the Japanese army, which has always paid attention to the quality of individual soldiers, ignored the role of snipers in combat?
In fact, according to Mr. Yutian, the reason why the Japanese army lacks well-known snipers is mainly determined by its military system and the combat environment at that time.
The Japanese sniper
in the history of First of all, the Japanese army with more
mental strength in World War II should be regarded as one of the most hard-working troops in training.
This kind of hysterical training of the Japanese army also made the firing level of its grassroots units top-notch among the participating countries. How strong is the shooting level of ordinary Japanese soldiers? At that time, the Japanese army required ordinary infantry to effectively kill the enemy within 400 meters, while the standard in Western countries is within 50-200 meters. A Japanese infantry recruit must be trained to shoot 1,500 bullets, and in World War II statistics The Japanese army’s rate of destruction of an enemy’s ammunition is 1,300 rounds, which is far more efficient than the Soviet Union and Germany, not to mention the wealthy United States.

So, there are so many sharpshooters, why the Japanese army has to go for excessive sniper training, and the Japanese soldiers themselves are very powerful, and they are not inferior in camouflage and endurance. Because of ordinary snipers, an ordinary Japanese army has been engaged in sniper operations.
Therefore, the people in the military department believe that snipers do not exist at all, and in their eyes every soldier is a sharpshooter.
is followed by the combat method
. In the Japanese army’s initial combat, there were few large-scale short-term engagements like the Soviet-German battlefield, which gave snipers the opportunity to create a sniper environment. In many cases, the Japanese artillery As soon as the gun was fired, the national army on the position basically suffered more than half of the casualties. Therefore, the Japanese army’s tactics on the battlefield of the invasion of China were "artillery bombardment, infantry charge, and infantry charge, artillery bombardment..." Japanese infantry at this time, its main workCombat missions to occupy and destroy by a frontal charge.
In the early days of the war, the men prefer the hand-to-hand battles of real men to the men who used black guns to recruit nuclear weapons.
, a nuclear man who likes hand-to-hand combat,
. However, after arriving in the Pacific, the Japanese army's single-stranded combat method disappeared in front of the superior allied navy and air force. By the late stage of the Pacific battle, the Japanese army basically defended the islands, and this time The Japanese army also began to pay attention to the training of sharpshooters.
The Japanese army focused on the development of sharpshooters, there should be many sharpshooters, so why didn't they develop? There is no other reason for
. The main reason is that the Japanese army did not master the essentials of snipers. The principle of sniper operations should be to hide themselves and destroy the enemy. The first thing to do is to ensure their survival, but the Japanese army does the opposite. They like to let snipers climb trees. Although this approach has a higher vision, it will also become the target of others. And in the later period, the Japanese army who liked "Jade Broken" actually tied the sniper to the tree. It was called for the emperor not to retreat, but it made the sniper the target of the Allies, which also caused many sharpshooters to be innocent on the battlefield. Battle damage.

Normally train a sniper. In addition to being on the battlefield, it is more important that veterans with combat experience withdraw from the battlefield and teach more students from these battlefield experiences to the rear We, and because of the limitation of the Japanese army's national strength, many veterans could not retire, and they could not promote these tactics and shooting skills at all, so they were tied to a tree by the officers and died for their country. So when the Japanese wanted to enrich the sniper tactics in the defense of the late war, they found that there were no experienced veterans to pass on.
At the same time, snipers are also a money-burning unit in the army. Japan itself lacks resources and is not well-developed in the optical field. There is no research on the professional sniper rifle and , and the sniper scope as a sniper eye is also a production Pathetic. The output of the sniper rifle modified in 1997 is only 20,000, and the output of the sniper rifle modified in the ninety-nine is even less than 10,000 (our army also seized two) , plus the sniper scope behind the enemy The high barriers to technology and technology have resulted in the Japanese army's lack of reliable sniper rifles, which also restricted the expansion and development of Japanese snipers in the late World War II.
The Japanese sniper in World War II
Yuda-kun said that
Japan’s lack of excellent snipers during World War II has its own and external factors. In addition to its lack of attention to sniper tactics, it recruits nuclear men to fight fiercely. The methods and national strength also make it difficult for them to cultivate the "expensive class" of snipers.
But then again, even if Japan trained up snipers during World War II, unjust wars and random trampling and aggression against other countries are doomed to fall even if their weapons are strong and unpopular. Into the quagmire of failure.
