And how do you become an ace sniper? Who are the ace female snipers you know? Follow the curator to learn about history!
Lyudmila
Sniper Queen on the battlefield
In fact, Lyudmila from the battlefield to the next battlefield, only twelve months, before boarding the battlefield of World War II, Lyudmila was just an inexperienced rookie recruit, never experienced war, even with a gun will be unstable. Her first mission was on the Ukrainian border, when the Soviet army was very short of weapons, the artillery unit had no shells, the snipers did not have sniper rifles, and they had just come to the battlefield. Before he could prepare, his companion was headshot on the spot, which directly affected Lyudmila's mentality. Lyudmila vowed to annihilate all the enemies.
In 1941, Nazi Germany launched an attack on the Soviet Union, which forced the Soviet army to retreat to Odessa, Lyudmila's unit, was ordered to carry out a hilltop blockade battle, and Lyudmila's task was to snipe the enemy's infantry team at the commanding heights, Lyudmila was full of the death of his teammates, and the angry Lyudmila found the right heights, brought his own weapons, and a sniper rifle with a range of 540 meters.
Just at this moment, suddenly two enemy soldiers walked in front of her, Lyudmila simply estimated, the distance is about 400 meters, she came three shots, only to kill one of the enemies, and then the other enemy was also killed, but for a sniper, this is not a good record, the commander seriously warned Lyudmila, such a record is not suitable for a sniper.
However, Lyudmila did not retire because of this, and her sniper career has just begun.
The first imperfect sniper performance was the biggest defeat of her short sniper career, and in the subsequent sniper process, Lyudmila showed her very crazy and talented side.
She can kill 16 enemies with 17 rounds of ammunition. It can be said that it is almost a hundred shots, and every blow is a one-hit death, and Lyudmila will hardly give herself a second chance.
In the confrontation with the enemy, the situation on the front line has become more and more dangerous, at first she only needs to snipe at a longer distance, but now, Lyudmila needs to get close to the enemy troops and snipe while reconnaissance.
In order to be able to kill the enemy, Lyudmila would stay motionless for 18 hours in a hidden sniper point, and during this long time, the rations she used to sustain her life were nothing but a pot of water, a few pieces of bread that were better than nothing.
Able to turn the enemy upside down in a very short period of time, Lyudmila relied not on luck, but on real talent.
An impressive record of killing 309 people in ten months
Lyudmila's favorite time slot is the war and the storm, and only these two times can she "hunt" unscrupulously, because the enemy cannot detect her location and presence at all.
Lyudmila is not a blind sniper, on the contrary, she is also a clever ambitionist, in a battle with the enemy, Lyudmila found that there is also a skilled sniper in the enemy army, the two people have fought back and forth many times, but no matter how many positions are changed, neither side can find any weakness.
In order to lure the enemy snipers to take the lead in the battle, Lyudmila made a dangerous move, directly flew out, and the enemy obviously did not react, and when the gun was fired, the position was directly exposed, which also gave Lyudmila a chance, and the other sniper was killed.
For a whole month, Lyudmila, who had just entered the battlefield, had killed more than 100 enemy troops, which was already a miracle in the history of Soviet warfare, and the creator of this miracle was a female sniper.
Because the results are quite outstanding, Lyudmila's name resounded throughout the army, but the war will not avoid her because she is a hero, in a battle, a shell just landed next to Lyudmila, just like this, the huge shock wave directly blew her unconscious, but fortunately, Lyudmila was saved by her comrades, it was too late to recuperate for a few days, Lyudmila once again asked Miao to fight, which had thought that this time, Lyudmila was directly injured in the head, but Lyudmila once again insisted, and continued to stay on the front line of the battlefield.
From October 1941 to July of the following year, Soviet and German armies fought a protracted defensive battle. Lyudmila had become the commander of the troops and formed a sniper squad with her husband. At that time, the fairy lover who was envied by everyone did not expect that only she was left in the end, and her husband died because of the war, which was a major blow for Lyudmila, Lyudmila could not even take the gun for a while, but she would never be defeated, with amazing willpower, Lyudmila once again took up the gun, and this time, she refreshed her record to 257 people.
In the history of snipers in the world, no one can do it, killing so many enemies in a short period of time, Lyudmila itself is a miracle, but she is far from satisfied with this goal, her goal, is to break through 300 sniper numbers.
And she actually did it, in a very short period of time, Lyudmila lurked alone around the battlefield, constantly pulling the trigger, and completed the sniper task again and again, and her sniper number directly reached 309 people.
This caused not only a sensation in the Soviet Union, but also a shock to the German army, you know, among the many enemies she killed, including 36 German snipers, such data is enough to say everything, for the German army, it is a huge insult.
The angry Germans could not shake Lyudmila at all, and could only use the stupidest method to enwei and tell her that she would give her a high-ranking official Houlu, and if she did not agree, he would tear her into 309 pieces.
Lyudmila was not at all moved, but unfortunately, in a subsequent battle, the Germans found her tracks and attacked her directly with mortars, in order to protect her, Stalin directly ordered Lyudmila to leave the front line, Stalin even sent submarines to escort, although very regrettable, but Lyudmila still obeyed the order and began to carry out a national speech.
What kind of background does a female leader in a sniper have in being able to take down 309 enemies in just ten months?
Home of the Born Workers
In 1916, Lyudmila was born in a small village in Ukraine, and Lyudmila's parents were typical of the workers' family, for whom Lyudmila was a beloved daughter, far from thinking, it was this girl. In the future, he will become a hero who will shock the world.
In fact, in childhood, Lyudmila has already shown the characteristics of a woman, she studies very hard, and is a rare hard-working student, whether it is running and jumping, Lyudmila is not lost to any boy, when Lyudmila was nine years old, their family moved from the countryside to kiev city, and here, Lyudmila encountered one thing that changed her fate, that is, to join the shooting club.
After coming to Kiev, Lyudmila still studied hard and successfully completed her high school studies, but after graduating from high school, Lyudmila did not continue her studies, because the poor family situation did not allow her to continue her studies, so Lyudmila could only work, just in a factory in Kiev, as a grinder technician, and it was here that she suddenly found an advertisement for a shooting club, initially Lyudmila was just for leisure, unexpectedly, under long contact, Lyudmila actually found the pleasure of shooting guns.
Lyudmila put the seriousness of her study on practicing shooting, this shooting club, became the enlightener of Lyudmila, not long after, the extremely talented Lyudmila, directly became the most powerful person in the club's marksmanship, but it was not long before Lyudmila raised enough money to go to college, she left the factory where she worked, took the university exam, fortunately, she did not accept the Kiev State University, the hard-working Lyudmila chose the history department she loved, during the study at Kiev University, Lyudmila continues to exert her hard-working academic qualities, and because she really loves history, Lyudmila can be successful in history, and even the papers she has just written have been praised by her mentors, if this momentum continues to develop, maybe Ukraine will have a quite accomplished historian, but the reality will often not develop smoothly.
Turning into a female college student in the history department, Lyudmila could have become a historian, but why did she end up becoming an ace female sniper? What are the variables in this?
A schoolgirl who is just beginning to show her strength
In 1941, two years after the outbreak of The Second World War, Nazi Germany suddenly tore up the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact and began a surprise attack on the Soviet Union, also known as the "Barbarossa Plan".
Soviet female soldiers
In order to defend the country, the Soviet Union also opened the Great Patriotic War, and Lyudmila was still an ordinary history student at that time, and when Lyudmila heard the news, her reaction was like everyone else, full of shock and disbelief. Shortly after the enemy launched a surprise attack, conscription activities began in the Soviet Union, and Lyudmila did not hesitate to go through the suspension procedures and abandon the pen.
After a very rigorous screening, Lyudmila was approved as a glorious female warrior, and that year, Lyudmila was only 25 years old.
Conscripted Lyudmila, was initially assigned to the Odessa Twenty-fifth Division, but the female soldiers are the reserve force, not until the last resort will not be used, especially in the Soviet army, almost no female soldiers, Lyudmila is the first batch of female soldiers to be recruited, in the eyes of many male soldiers in the Soviet army, these female soldiers are completely unsuitable to appear on the front-line battlefield, they are weak and disadvantageous, the female soldiers who enter the army are only suitable for staying in the field hospital in the rear, or entering the organ work, It's especially appropriate to write a material.
Perhaps also out of the idea of protecting the female soldiers, the recruiting officers communicated with these women soldiers, trying to get them to work in the rear, or to go to the field hospital, to become an ordinary but safe and secure hygienist.
After this conversation, many female soldiers went from initially eager to try to become hygienists, but the only case was Lyudmila.
She did not agree with the officer at all. And insisted on going to the front, Lyudmila's dream from childhood, is to be able to fight for the country, into the battlefield to kill the enemy, for her, on the battlefield of glorious sacrifice, far more meaningful than in the field hospital stable life, in view of Lyudmila's attitude, the recruiting officer decided to have another conversation.
Recruiting officers directly use the question of whether to shoot guns, trying to dissuade Lyudmila, but the officers could not have imagined that shooting guns is Lyudmila's strength, under the problem of the officer's self-confidence, Lyudmila skillfully posed a aiming action, and seriously said that she was a sharpshooter, but no matter how she proved, the officer did not agree to her going to the front, because Lyudmila was only 158, and there was no advantage in height, so such female soldiers were particularly disadvantaged on the battlefield.
When Lyudmila saw no success in her persuasion, she took up a rifle and made a bet with the officer that if she could hit the enemy with a rifle, she would stay in the army, and if she could not, she would become a nurse herself.
Unexpectedly, Lyudmila waited patiently in front of the battlefield for less than half an hour before encountering two enemy troops. Raising the gun, aiming, shooting, these three movements in one go, blink of an eye, two enemy troops lying under the gun of Lyudmila, this situation directly stunned the recruiting officer. Lyudmila also successfully became an infantry warrior, and at the same time, along with other male soldiers, rushed to the dangerous Odessa theater, and her legendary sniper career began.
Ten months after the annihilation of more than 300 enemy troops, Stalin was afraid of her sacrifice, and even ordered her to go to the front line immediately, such a legendary female sniper, not only respected by the Soviet people, but also respected by the people of the world.
The visit to the United States was appreciated
In 1942, Lyudmila had been welcomed back to the Soviet Union by Stalin, and her main job became a constant propaganda in various regions, and Lyudmila was not only a generation of gods of war, but also a spiritual symbol.
The Soviet Union and Nazi Germany were in the midst of a war, and the United States, as an ally of the Soviet Union at that time, tried to urge the Allies to start the second battlefield as soon as possible, so it decided to send well-known people to the United States for propaganda work, and Lyudmila was the most suitable candidate.
At first, when Lyudmila came to the United States, she did not get much support, and even some media sneered at Lyudmila, after receiving a lot of bad words, Lyudmila finally made a counterattack, unexpectedly, Lyudmila's counterattack, but won her a lot of good feelings.
Lyudmila said that she was very honored to wear a military uniform, because on her military uniform, there was the Order of Lenin, and this medal was bought with her blood, but she was very sorry that even if the situation was so critical, the concern of American women was clothing matching, and they obviously had a lot to learn.
Thanks to Lyudmila's efforts, americans increasingly discovered that this beautiful Soviet officer did not seem to be as strong and resolute as the newspapers said, and could stand on the side of justice no matter what kind of enemy she faced, and more and more Americans expressed their good feelings to her.
Even the wife of President Roosevelt at that time became a good friend of Lyudmila, and in her speech to the public, Lyudmila spoke boldly, attacking the Unwillingness of the United States to open up the scene, like a weak chicken hiding behind a woman, and such a bold speech, even no one was angry, and there were also applauding voices one after another.
Lyudmila visited abroad
In addition to speaking boldly in the process of preaching, Lyudmila also proposed equality between men and women, to know that the United States at that time was a typical country where machismo prevailed, but Lyudmila was not afraid of public opinion, could speak bluntly, and directly affected many social behaviors in the United States at that time.
In 1943, Lyudmila was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union and was awarded a Gold Star Medal, bearing in mind that the recipients of the Golden Star Certificate were no more than ten in the Soviet Union, unless they contributed greatly to the country, and Lyudmila had such an honor.
Soon after Lyudmila's visit to the United States, on the European battlefield, there was a second battlefield opened by the US military, and in World War II, there were also major changes in the situation, and the Soviet side began to take the lead.
Although Lyudmila could not return to the battlefield and continue to fight to kill the enemy, her contribution to the rear area far exceeded that of the front-line battlefield, and in the Soviet rear, Lyudmila conducted a series of sniper training. Trained many sniper masters for the Soviet Union.
Speech by Lyudmila
Being able to kill 309 enemy in ten months on the front line, and being praised by the United States in the rear, Lyudmila, as a legend, deserves to be remembered by everyone.
A hero worthy of praise
After the end of World War II, Lyudmila came to work in the Soviet Navy because of her contributions in World War II, and Lyudmila also became a major general in the Soviet Union, at the same time, Lyudmila continued to return to Kiev State University, where she continued her historical research, once a sharpshooter, and became the literary researcher who loved history.
Later, after retiring from the Navy, Lyudmila still did not stop serving the country, she continued to provide military support to the Soviet Union, but it is very unfortunate that in 1974, at the age of 58, Lyudmila died of a serious illness, and all she left to the world was endless emotion.
In order to commemorate this great female sniper, the Soviet side specially issued a set of stamps with the theme of Lyudmila, and such a special honor, in addition to Lyudmila, only those who made great contributions to the war had people.
Lyudmila, on the other hand, was fortunate enough to be the candidate for the feature stamp.
In 2015, based on the deeds of Lyudmila, a film called "Female Sniper" was made, although there are many fictional elements in the film, but this film fully reflects how anti-human war really is.
Lyudmila and her husband
In the history of the world, in addition to the Soviet Union, there are many such heroic female snipers on the mainland.
They are overloaded every day, training subjects from the initial simple basic subjects, to later precision shooting, and various other application subjects, these female snipers can quickly snipe at unknown areas, unknown distances, and even with unknown targets.
In war, snipers are the most indispensable role in the entire special operations, if you want to become a sniper, you must go through very strict training, because they often only have a shot opportunity, can only continue to train, which can be "a shot kill" anytime and anywhere.
In addition to sniper training, the mainland is very strict in the training of any kind of soldier, not for the sake of war, but also to defend the country, to ensure that when war strikes, the people and the country can still be peaceful and stable under the protection of the warriors.
And Maj. Gen. Lyudmila was such a person, the greatest sniper in the Second World War, whether on the battlefield in the front or in the logistics of the rear, Lyudmila was able to do it diligently, to throw her blood for the just revolutionary cause, and she spent her whole life working for the revolutionary cause, just like the words she engraved on her epitaph, "The pain is so long-lasting", "Like the patient movement of a snail", "Happiness is so short", "like a rabbit's tail skimming the autumn grassland".
