In 1916, there were no statistics on the performance of snipers in the world. Almost all of the top ten snipers in another time and space appeared after World War II, and there were not even any during World War I.
The concept of "sniper".
The Southern African Expeditionary Force set a precedent. After the outbreak of the World War, statistics on the performance of precision shooters began. The first batch of excellent precision shooters to emerge from the Southern African Expeditionary Force have all returned to the UK or southern Africa as heroes.
Participate in the propaganda of the war, or serve as a sniper instructor in a military academy.
Today's precision shooters are not inferior to those heroes who have achieved fame. Qinling's legend is still continuing. The number 315 is definitely not the end. Considering Qinling's age, he even has a chance to participate in World War II.
.
If there would still be World War II in this time and space.
On the battlefield on the Western Front, Qin Ling has become a living legend. His nickname is "King of Hell". True to his name, Qin Ling scares the German army.
For the American soldiers who had just arrived in Europe, the number 315 was obviously beyond their imagination.
However, their first reaction was not surprise, but questioning the authenticity of this number, which is indeed very American.
"315 is a certain result. Some German soldiers who were killed cannot be determined, so they are not included in the statistics. There is no need to doubt the authenticity of this number. There is a second lieutenant who is responsible for counting the results of Sergeant Qinling. Sergeant Qinling once
He sniped and killed a German officer at a distance of 900 meters. During the battle to capture Antwerp, Sergeant Qinling sniped and killed a total of 115 German officers and soldiers. He is the Lord of Hell who can decide life and death. Do you know what the meaning of Lord of Hell is in Chinese?
"?" The instructor was very familiar with Qinling's deeds.
The dumbfounded American soldiers collectively fell into a daze.
"The King of Hell means Satan in Chinese -" The mocking meaning in the instructor's smile was obvious.
However, none of the American soldiers noticed this. They looked at Qinling as if he had a pair of devil wings growing on his back.
"Tom, do you still want to duel with Sergeant Qinling?" An American soldier murmured to himself. When they didn't know about Qinling's glorious achievements, Qinling was "Qin" in their mouths. Now Qinling is finally qualified to have its own full name.
.
Although this name is a bit difficult to pronounce for white people.
"I want a pair of Qinling Sergeant's boots -" Tom Oscar was sweating profusely. Only now did he realize how stupid his behavior was. He had a new understanding of his instructor, and he was in awe.
Usually those who are qualified to jump back are relatively capable, and these people are very smart, and they know how to recognize the situation best.
The sniper class can finally proceed smoothly. The first class is not about sniping from a thousand meters as imagined, but how to disguise yourself. There is no ghillie suit now, so you have to do all the disguise yourself. The next class also includes the choice of sniper position.
American soldiers still have many lessons to make up for, such as judging wind direction and speed, how to lay out booby traps, how to design retreat routes, etc.
While the American soldiers were making up lessons, preparations for the British Expeditionary Force were in full swing.
In preparation for the upcoming New Year's Offensive, the British Expeditionary Force has established a logistics supply base in Calais. The base now stores a total of 800,000 artillery shells and aerial bombs, 2 billion rounds of ammunition, 12,000 boxes of various medicines, 150,000
tons of other military supplies, and 100,000 new soldiers arrived in Calais from the British mainland every month.
At Calais Port, the person responsible for the deployment of human resources is Major Chen Huai from the British Expeditionary Force Logistics Department.
(Don’t worry, the Yellow River is already on its way——)
Calais Port now has nearly 100,000 workers, some of whom are Chinese from the Far East and some from India. There are also two infantry divisions from the Indian Army responsible for the security of Calais Port. If there is insufficient manpower, these two Indian divisions will also
Take on some physical work.
In the weather in March, the snow has melted and the ground has begun to dry. The expeditionary force has not yet changed out of their winter clothes. After going to the port for inspection, Chen Huai returned to the office and was already sweating profusely.
"How is the situation at the dock?" Lieutenant Colonel Oliver, the chief of the logistics department, brought a cup of coffee to Chen Huai. It was Lieutenant Colonel Oliver's job to inspect the dock.
"It's terrible. The work attitude of those Indian workers is very problematic. They are procrastinating and undisciplined. Today on the dock, an Indian worker broke a box. A group of people gathered around and laughed. I went over and saw that it was...
What a box of artillery shells. Fortunately, none of those artillery shells are equipped with fuses, otherwise we don’t know how much trouble it would cause." Chen Huai was furious. The problem of Indian workers has been around for a long time, and it is not easy to solve it.
"Broken boxes are a trivial matter. Last week I counted warehouse No. 65. Guess what, there were two boxes of bullets that I couldn't count. The soldiers guarding the warehouse didn't know when they were lost. After in-depth investigation, I found out that they were transported.
The bullet workers secretly took the bullets to the flea market and sold them, which is absolutely speechless. Don’t those Indians know that such behavior is punishable by shooting?” Another officer also came over with coffee to complain.
Major Harris from the British mainland.
"Haha, you don't know that the religion that Indians believe in can lead to reincarnation. It doesn't matter if you are not born into a noble family in this life. As long as you have respect for the gods, you can be born into a noble family in the next life and live in good clothing and food." Oliver said.
I have served in India and know the Indians well.
"So if you make a mistake in this life, can you still be born into a noble family in the next life?" Chen Huai has a tricky angle. Chinese mythology has a similar saying, but Chinese gods are more responsible. If you don't do good deeds, let alone be reincarnated into a wealthy family in the next life.
, even the qualification to be reincarnated as a human will be lost, and he may be reincarnated as a pig or a dog.
"What are you thinking about? We are not qualified to be born into a noble family. I think we are all going to hell-" Major Harris is more pessimistic. Thousands of people die every day on the Western Front, and the hands of all expeditionary soldiers are covered in blood.
If we follow the standards of Western religions, everyone will go to hell.
"Don't be so pessimistic. God will forgive us. We are also forced to take up arms for the sake of world peace, so we should all go to heaven." Lieutenant Colonel Oliver is a devout Catholic believer. He firmly believes that God will do the right thing.
choose.
Before I finished drinking a cup of coffee, the door to the office was pushed open and a second lieutenant hurried in.
"Gentlemen, there's a fight on the pier——"
The reason for the incident is very simple. An Indian worker and a Chinese worker had a dispute over an apple. As a result, the Indian worker used an insulting move against the Chinese worker, and then the two groups of workers started fighting.
There were about 80 Chinese workers and about 500 Indian workers involved in the conflict. However, the result was shocking. The 500 Indian workers failed to beat the 80 Chinese workers and the more than 60 Indian workers.
were injured, four of them were seriously injured and needed to be sent to hospital immediately for treatment.
Among these four people was the Indian who used insulting gestures.
After arriving at the scene of the incident, there were still forty or fifty Indian workers rolling and moaning on the ground. The surrounding Indian workers who had nothing to do with anything else got excited when they saw the officers arriving, and they all came over to complain.
, the result may be that someone accidentally stepped on an Indian worker who was lying on the ground and wailing. The Indian worker lying on the ground hugged someone's thigh, and then a group of people rolled into a ball again.
Boom!
At the critical moment, Lieutenant Colonel Oliver fired a warning shot, finally calming down the situation.
"Whoever did it first, come forward!" The gun in Lieutenant Colonel Oliver's hand was still smoking and filled with murderous intent.
No one from the Indians came forward. An Indian worker was still lying on the ground groaning. An expeditionary soldier walked over and raised a cane in his hand and slapped him on the head and face. The scene was immediately silent.
"I said whoever made the move first, stand up!" Lieutenant Colonel Oliver repeated, and someone immediately translated in various languages.
The Chinese side is better, only one person is needed to translate, while the Indian side has more than a dozen people translating at the same time.
Lieutenant Colonel Oliver was completely confused. After asking, he learned that although the official language of India is English, not everyone can understand English. There are about twenty other widely used languages in India.
Relatively speaking, Chinese workers are much better off. The vast majority of Chinese workers are from the northern language family, and the language gap is not large.
After two repetitions, no one from the Indian workers side came forward, but several people from the Chinese workers side came forward at the same time.
"Very good, tell me, why did you do it?" Lieutenant Colonel Oliver said, although he could still scrape two kilograms of frost off his face, his tone was much more relaxed.
"That bastard insulted us!"
"Originally, each person was given an apple, but that bastard was not satisfied with taking one, and wanted to take the second one."
"We just said something to him, and he laughed at us for narrowing his eyes and made insulting moves towards us——"
Several Chinese workers pieced together the whole story in a few words. The insulting gesture here was to use fingers to pull down the corners of the eyes, which meant to mock the Chinese for having smaller eyes.
Generally speaking, such behavior only occurs among white people. Now with the improvement of the status of the Chinese, it has basically disappeared. However, I did not expect that this obviously insulting action would be used by Indians, and it is still
An Indian with obviously darker skin is really puzzling.
India has a hierarchical caste system. Generally, Indians with lighter skin belong to the four major castes, and Indians with darker skin are Dalits. Dalits are untouchable in India, as people at the bottom of society.
, they should be the strongest against racial discrimination, but unexpectedly they are now taking action.
After hearing the statements of the Chinese workers, Chen Huai was already furious before Lieutenant Colonel Oliver even spoke.
(I’m breaking the story here. Some brothers are going to scold me again. Please, don’t scold me. If you can, hit me to death with your vote——)
