She was the best female sniper in World War II, killing 309 German soldiers. Why was she banned from participating in the war?

Snipers are like ghosts on the battlefield. They appear and disappear, sniping the enemy invisible. Since snipers sometimes need to remain motionless, lurk for several days without eating or drinking, and require extremely strong physical support to perform tasks, there are very few snipers who are women.

But during World War II, the person who was known as the best sniper was a woman. She was Lyudmila, the Soviet Union's first female sniper. In World War II, Lyudmila created a brilliant record of killing 309 German soldiers. These 309 people also included 36 German snipers, which shocked the world.

However, Lyudmila was later banned from participating in the war. Why?

Lyudmila was born in Ukraine in 1916. At the age of 24, she was admitted to Kiev State University, majoring in history. When the German army invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, Lyudmila signed up to join the army with many female classmates. However, what surprised the recruiting officials was that the other female students applied for medical or logistics soldiers, but Lyudmila insisted on joining the front line. Army and become a true female warrior.

At first, Lyudmila was laughed at and thought she was talking big words. But when she got to the battlefield and saw the cruelty of war, she was afraid that she would give up. But no one expected that this humble little girl studying history would later become the most feared sniper in the German army.

In August 1941, Lyudmila’s first battle after joining the army, she was ordered to station on a hill near Bayayevka with the 25th Infantry Division. This was Lyudmila’s first execution. She was not nervous at all during the blocking mission. She held the assigned sniper rifle in her hand and concentrated on waiting for the Germans to appear.

The German army finally appeared. With a bang, a German soldier in the distance immediately fell in a pool of blood. Lyudmila killed a German soldier with her first shot, which shocked her comrades. Immediately after the second shot, Lyudmila killed another enemy again, and a legendary female sniper was born.

Due to Lyudmila’s victory in the first battle, her sniper talent shocked everyone. The Soviet army equipped him with the best sniper rifle at the time, with 5 rounds of ammunition, a muzzle velocity of 2800 feet per second, and an effective range of over 600 yards. .

In the next two and a half months of the Osad battle, Lyudmila once again sniped and killed 187 German soldiers. Although she could not influence the situation of the battle and the battle was lost in the end, Lyudmila could defeat Yang with a hundred steps. Her sniper ability won her the highest honor from the Soviet Union and the Allied Forces.

Why is such a legendary female sniper banned from participating in the war? Because Lyudmila has become a spiritual symbol, the Soviet Union and the Allies need her alive without any mistakes.

During a battle in June 1942, Lyudmila was injured by a German artillery shell. The Soviet and Allied forces were extremely nervous and immediately used a submarine to carry her back and withdraw from the battle. After recovering from her injury, Lyudmila was invited to visit the United States, Canada and other countries to promote the Allied Forces platform. Since then, this most awesome female sniper has never had the chance to go to the battlefield again, and she was very depressed for a time.

In October 1943, Lyudmila was awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union and the Gold Star Medal, and was later promoted to the rank of rear admiral. She died in Moscow in 1974. After Lyudmila died, this was written on her epitaph: "The pain is so long-lasting, moving patiently like a snail; the happiness is so short-lived, like a rabbit's tail passing through the autumn grassland."

< p>It is not difficult to see that although Lyudmila enjoyed great honors in her life, she also had some regrets.
