The decisive battle against the Third Reich

The instructor wanted to use this movie to educate the instructors.

"This is what our spies got from the Soviets!" the instructor said. "Compared to them, we know nothing. See how they train, and then learn their techniques and use them against us." Your enemy!"

What appeared on the screen was a black and white picture full of snowflakes. The Soviet Red Army soldiers in the lens always had a sunny and confident smile on their faces... At that moment, Qin Chuan had the urge to rush up and smash the projector. These People are not snipers at all, they are more like actors.

The subsequent plot is what the instructor taught in the course. Some things are simply common sense. For example, when facing two windows, one with glass and the other without glass, the enemy is more likely to hide in the window without glass. back……

Then there are some fancy camouflage techniques that have little practical value, some of which violate sniper rules.

On the screen, a Soviet sniper company climbed to the treetops at the edge of the forest. The subtitles read: "The treetops with dense leaves are a great sniper position. The shooter will not be discovered and can also get excellent vision and Excellent shot! ”

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

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

"Report to the instructor!" Qin Chuan replied: "The treetops cannot be an ideal sniper position, because the shooter will not be able to move quickly after the shot is fired, so he will become the target of the enemy's machine gun!"

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

Werner's words were met with laughter.

"No, student!" the instructor retorted, "the trunks will make good cover!"

"What if the enemy has a mortar?" Jun Ci immediately asked: "The shell will explode when it hits the branches, and then we will be beaten into hedgehogs by shrapnel and branches!"

"In short!" Qin Chuan said: "I think a sniper position that cannot be moved is almost the same as committing suicide!"

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

The instructor's explanation was a bit far-fetched, and Qin Chuan and the soldiers did not intend to quarrel with the instructor any longer.

In fact, Qin Chuan knew that there was indeed a country that used this sniping method on a large scale during World War II... Japan often climbed into trees for cover when facing the US military on the Pacific battlefield.

This can indeed cause some trouble for the US military, because it makes the forest three-dimensional, and US soldiers must pay attention not only to the ground but also above their heads.

But once the snipers on the treetops are discovered, there is basically no chance of survival... American soldiers will use rocket launchers to blow away the entire tree crown. If one shot fails, they will use two shots.

"I don't know what you think!" Werner said: "Anyway, I would not choose such a sniper position!"

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

"So, this movie won't have a big impact on us!" Werner said: "It can't fool us!"

But Qin Chuan doesn't think things are that simple.

Werner and others know that these methods are incorrect and inappropriate because they are veterans who have come off the battlefield and know what the battlefield is like. Of course, we also know that battles are more common on the battlefield and start suddenly. There is no time to prepare the disguises in the film that take at least half an hour or more to make.

But what about those recruits who have never been on the battlefield but were selected into sniper school because of their good marksmanship?

They may even think that this is a valuable experience summarized by veterans, so they stupidly do what the movie says!

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

Qinchuan's first thought was to report these problems to General Strike, who would then tell Rommel that they would eventually be corrected.

But in principle, students are not allowed to make external phone calls, especially when Qin Chuan wants to report to his superiors about training issues. This feels a bit like making a small report, and may embarrass the instructors... They are actually very dedicated instructors. , those impractical sniper techniques have nothing to do with them, because German snipers were trained like this at this time.

But Qin Chuan got a chance the next day.

At that time, Qin Chuan was training with his comrades in the shooting garden... The shooting garden was very professionally laid out. At the far north was a British defensive position. There was barbed wire protection in front of the position, and behind it were some man-made craters, depressions, and sandy areas. Wait, there is a fallen tree, and to the far south are wells, a few scattered houses and bushes.

Such a "shooting garden" allows students to easily find various terrains and bunkers for targeted training.

At this moment, a jeep drove into the shooting park, and the instructor quickly ordered the training to be suspended... The reason was that the students were using live ammunition, which might accidentally injure the people on the jeep.

"Who let them in!" The instructor couldn't help complaining.

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

It was Colonel Slain who came. He jumped out of the jeep and waved to Qin Chuan excitedly: "Sergeant Frick!"

Qin Chuan turned his attention to the instructor, who nodded.

So Qin Chuan got up from the sand and ran to Colonel Slaine with his gun in hand.

"Colonel!" Qin Chuan stood up and saluted.

Colonel Slaine held Qin Chuan's hand and said, "I sincerely congratulate you, Staff Sergeant. I am very honored to personally award the Iron Ten Medal to you as the head of state!"

As he spoke, Colonel Slain took out a box, opened it, took out a medal, and pinned it on Qin Chuan's chest. Then he took the certification document from the adjutant and handed it to Qin Chuan.

"Thank you very much, Colonel!" Qin Chuan took the certificate and saluted Colonel Slaine 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, which also included medals. He didn't expect to get one... and Qin Chuan also knew that even more What is rare is actually the certificate, which is printed with the regimental emblem and the reason why Qin Chuan received the medal. Because it is paper, few copies have been preserved to modern times.

"How's it going?" Colonel Slain asked, "How is life in the training camp?"

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

"Of course!" Colonel Slaine smiled and handed over a cigarette and said, "You're not complaining about the food, are you? The whole army is the same now, Sergeant!"

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