When it comes to world ace snipers, Finland's Simon Heyer is never to be bypassed, he is the undisputed number one sniper in the sniper list, and his sniper record has not been broken to this day!It is estimated that the probability of being broken in the future is also very small.
What kind of legendary life did Simon Haye have?
He was born in 1905 in Finland in an ordinary family, the local people have been hunting for a living, since he was a child, he has been exposed to those hunting stories since he was a child, he aspired to be an excellent hunter at a very young age, his father also took him to hunt since he was a child, and the perennial field activities have given Simon Heyer a strong physique and tenacious wilderness survival ability, coupled with the skillful use of shotguns, laid a solid foundation for him to become an ace sniper.
Simon Heyer, who joined the army at the age of 20, did not show anything special in the army in peacetime, and he did not have a chance to use his skills. After a few years, he successfully retired and returned home to live the same hunting life as his father, and lived a peaceful life for more than 10 years. If there is no war, I will spend this life as an ordinary person.
When the Soviet Union invaded Finland in 1939, Simon Heyer's fate changed along with what happened to his country. In the face of the powerful Soviet Union, weak Finland was like a child, Finland ** urgently recalled veterans, and Simon Heyer, who had been retired for more than 10 years, resolutely picked up a gun and joined the battle and became a sniper in the Finnish army.
Simon Haye began his creation of the sniper myth!Finnish snipers work in pairs, one with a Mosin Nagant rifle and one with a submachine gun. Simon Hayer, on the other hand, chose to fight alone, just like he used to hunt, he sniped the enemy from a distance with a Mosin Nagant rifle, and when he was discovered, he used a submachine gun to fight to break out of the encirclement!One person has one firepower point, and one person kills all sides like a god of war!
In the cold winter night in Finland, Simon Heyer, dressed in a white trench coat and on skis, is alone like a ghost in the snowy forest at a minimum of minus 40 degrees Celsius. With the Mosin Nagant rifle in his hand without an optical scope, he sniped 542 people, and with the submachine gun in his hand, he also killed nearly 200 people, which is still a surplus of troops for an entire battalion. Such a terrifying hunt made the enemy frightened and called him the "White Grim Reaper".
The height is less than 1Simon Heyer, who is 6 meters old, uses a short Mosin Nagant rifle and often lurks in the snow to wait for his time, wearing a white scarf around his face, and even constantly stuffing snow into his mouth to prevent the exhalation of white air from being exposed. When the target is discovered by him, there is no possibility of escape, and Simon Haye has farsightedness beyond ordinary people. He can accurately hit targets from 700 miles away.
Later, the Soviet army sent a sniper team to round him up, and they were all sniped and killed.
On March 6, 1940, the Soviet army bombarded its hiding place, surrounded by Soviet snipers, and when it broke through and dived back to the rear, it was hit by Soviet snipers, and the powerful "dummmy bullet" blew off Simon Heyer's left jaw. The Finnish soldier who rescued him was shocked to see Simon Heyer, who was only half a head!
Simon Heyer, despite his complete disfigurement, survived, and he was regarded as a national hero by the Finnish people, dying at the age of 97.
