1, Zhang (China)
A miracle. An egg shaped thing, a recruit who has never received any formal tactical training, has grown into a sniper hero with the highest shooting record of volunteers and become a veritable king of sniper.
A bigger miracle. With an old Soviet rifle without any optical aiming equipment, I fought alone for 32 days, fired 442 shots, killed 2 14 enemies, but escaped unscathed. 1953, the headquarters of the Volunteers awarded him a special achievement and the honorary title of "second-class sniper hero", and the Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly of Korea awarded him a "first-class flag medal".
The reason why he ranks first is not only because he is from China, but also because his sniper rifle is an ordinary stepping rifle.
