Speaking of Russian female snipers: I recall memoirs of a German (male) sniper who fought the war on the Russian front from 1941 to 1945 and ended up in Russian prison for several years as a POW. He presented a story of a group of Russian female snipers who where ordered to hide in trees and attack Germans from the above. While successful in the beginning of the firefight, they were all killed once the Germans realized that the young ladies can’t change their positions and picked them off one by one. Soviet commanders sent those girls to a sure death without any hesitation.
They did that to male snipers as well. They didn’t have a choice while the Germans were still advancing - they unapologetically threw bodies at the Wehrmacht to trade for time.
Male Japanese snipers would end up with the same fate on Pacific islands, for the same reasons.
