The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was the first time that china had left its own territory since the War of Resistance Against Japan, and at the same time it was also the first time that our soldiers had shook the most powerful troops in the world at that time.
To be able to win, in addition to the unswerving will of the volunteers, one of the skills of the volunteer army has a very big role, that is, sniping, the sniper in the volunteer army, once created the myth of sniping 13600 enemies in 4 months.
Helpless
Before entering Korea, the volunteer army has made the greatest estimation of the enemy, but in the real battlefield, the strong equipment advantage of the US army still exceeded our expectations, although in the early stage of the battle, the volunteer army's fearless way of fighting gave the US army a great impact, but the US army with many years of combat experience, or quickly found the biggest weakness of the volunteer army.
After 5 campaign battles, the volunteer army and the US army entered a stalemate, at this time, the superiority of the US army in equipment was fully displayed, although the volunteer army already had a lot of artillery equipment and heavy weapons, but in the overall front, the volunteer army's equipment was still mainly rifles and other light weapons.
The US military is completely different, almost all the lines are equipped with heavy firepower such as tanks and aircraft, in the stalemate stage, almost every defensive line will be beaten by the heavy equipment of the US army, and even the US army still relies on tanks, and has the courage to sing and dance against our army's positions.
For this insulting behavior, every soldier was eager to end the life of the other with a bullet, but because the weapons of the volunteer soldiers at that time were flawed, in order to retain sufficient firepower, the superior ordered not to shoot at will, not to take revenge, nor to disobey the orders of the superior, and every soldier had a fire in his heart.
So how is this fire extinguished? As a veteran who came from the period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Xu Company Commander not only has a strong fighting spirit, but also has a mysterious and good marksmanship, he knows very well that with the equipment in his hand, frontal combat is no play, and it is necessary to change tactics.
So he began to survey the nearby terrain non-stop, chose a good day, covered his body with mud, and came to the vicinity of the American position and began his first sniper operation.
And his raid battle gradually brought the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea to another way of fighting.

Taking advantage of the night, Xu Company Commander turned his anger into bullets and began to fight sniper warfare against the enemy, with excellent marksmanship, Xu Company Commander basically shot an enemy, and it didn't take long for Xu Company Commander to kill at least seven enemies, and then smoothly returned to the position before the enemy surrounded him.
After returning to the position, Commander Xu took the initiative to report to his superiors on his experience in going out to fight and was ready to accept punishment, because before this operation, he did not receive instructions from his superiors, but at that time, Xu Company Commander's superiors did not punish him, but got great inspiration from his raid.
In the frontal battlefield, the volunteer army has repeatedly fallen into bitter battles, but in terms of sniping, the volunteer army has never been a vegetarian, during the War of Resistance, our soldiers relied on rifles without sniper scopes to fight the enemy six gods and no master, while in Korea, after the equipment rose a grade, except for tanks and planes, there was no enemy we could not kill.
So the superiors quickly issued a new round of combat orders, Xu Company Commander not only will not be punished, but also appointed him to select good marksmanship fighters in the troops, form a sniper squad, and deal a strong blow to the enemy, so in the next battle, the US army felt what is called despair.
As long as you leave the bunker even for a few seconds, you may die on the spot, if you want to find a forest to go to the toilet, you can only go back, the key is that the US army can not find the figure of the volunteer soldiers, even if the sniper is hiding in the location of the bombing, the next round of sniping will soon come.
During that time, everyone in the U.S. army was in danger, and even some soldiers preferred to be with their own excrement rather than go out of the bunker, so that excellent results soon spread throughout the army, and the volunteer army began the famous cold gun and cold gun movement.

In fact, in the volunteer army, there were a large number of snipers with excellent marksmanship, but on the battlefield at that time, the sniper was only an auxiliary class, and the commander responsible for killing the enemy in the frontal battlefield never thought of taking the sniper out alone to attack the enemy.
In order to encourage soldiers to kill the enemy, the volunteer army not only set up a "record list" for snipers, but also regularly organize snipers from various units to exchange experience, and even many excellent snipers will take the initiative to "bring new recruits".
With these measures, the volunteer sniper team quickly expanded, and a large number of warriors who could be called gunshots emerged.
Zhang Taofang is a legendary sniper in china, known as the title of "King of Snipers", before entering North Korea, Zhang Taofang only received two months of primary shooting training, came to the battlefield, if it is on other battlefields, Zhang Taofang may be just an ordinary recruit, but in the Korean battlefield, Zhang Taofang was lucky to get the opportunity to go out with excellent snipers.
Through many studies, Zhang Taofang quickly showed his talent in sniping, and soon began to go out alone to complete the sniper mission, according to incomplete statistics, in less than two months, Zhang Taofang killed more than 200 people, including some officers, which made Zhang Taofang's superiors begin to be afraid, had to transfer him to the rear, so as not to suffer retaliation from the enemy.
After the war, some relevant media investigated the American soldiers who participated in the Korean War and asked them the reasons for their failure, and more than half of the soldiers said that the volunteers' "cold guns" were what they feared the most, and even some soldiers were always reluctant to get out of tanks and bunkers.
Not only that, but almost every American soldier has said that he or his soldiers have been attacked by cold guns, and many people die every day in the sniper attacks of the volunteer army.
In a war, snipers become the main combatants is very rare, and although most of the Chinese volunteers have no professional sniper training, their record is proud, according to statistics, from April to August 1952, snipers directly killed more than 13,600 enemies! Among them are the South Korean army, and there are even more American troops!
This does not include the sniper wounded or disabled fighters, with the help of snipers out of the advantage, the volunteer army began to take the initiative to attack the enemy's position, the US tanks, artillery also have no previous advantages, it can be said that the US army in the Korean War, was sent away by the volunteer snipers, bullet by bullet.
