Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Whenever something new appears, some people accept it quickly, some wait and see, and some are skeptical. No matter what reaction, it is normal.

Although all the soldiers of the Royal First Regiment showed good training and a completely new spirit that was completely different from the old army, it made people feel amazing. But after going to the battlefield, whether they can fight, including Sun Chuanting, Everyone was skeptical.

Especially after reading the emperor's handwritten letter, Sun Chuanting felt that his head seemed to have swelled several times. He had to train in actual combat, and he couldn't suffer too much loss. Why not treat him as a treasure?

But the complaints were complaints, and he just muttered secretly in his heart, how dare he say it in front of Xu Yu.

The camp to house the new army had been set up a few days ago. It is on the right side of Sun Chuanting's Chinese army camp. As soon as the new army arrived, they could just move in with their bags.

The New Army's uniform muskets made Gao Jie and others curious. How could they fight if they all had muskets? Aren't you afraid of explosion?

However, when they saw the equipment carried by more than a dozen snipers, their eyes nearly fell out of their sockets.

The dozen or so buddies were carrying a large gun with a barrel slightly longer and larger than an ordinary musket. A short musket was hung on the belt around their waists, and a small musket was inserted into the straps of their legs. A sheathed dagger, a smaller than ordinary grenade tied to the left chest of the tactical vest, and a special rectangular cowhide bag hung around his neck.

Anyone who knows the inside story and has played with a monocular knows that the long cowhide bag contains extremely precious things. In the entire elite army of 300,000 people commanded by Governor Sun, there are only three general officers. Qualifying monocular telescope.

If Sun Chuanting hadn't specifically told them, these dozen lieutenants had very special identities. They were the emperor's favorite treasures. Even Xu Yu, the commander, and he, the governor of the three sides, had no authority to command them. You think they are awesome or not? ? Is it arrogant or arrogant?

"Let me go, this is not a soldier, he is simply an emperor."

Among the officers watching, some murmured in a low voice to show their inner dissatisfaction. What kind of awesome soldiers are they? Even Governor Sun has no authority to command them?

"A sniper is similar to a sharpshooter with excellent archery skills in the army." Sun Chuanting turned his head and glared at the man, and then explained softly to his subordinates.

If he hadn't read the long letter written by the emperor, he wouldn't have known what a sniper meant. Anyway, it was like a sharpshooter with excellent archery skills in the army, who specialized in hunting down enemy officers and other important figures, so he created such an alternative. name?

To be honest, he still feels that the name Marksman is more powerful and domineering. Also, can these dozen snipers alone really change the outcome of the battlefield?

In fact, Xu Yu himself could not answer this question, but the emperor gave him a definite answer.

Unless the enemy commander can be successfully shot, the outcome of the battlefield cannot be changed. The role of the sniper is to hide in the dark and look for opportunities to shoot high-value targets such as enemy officers.

In an army, the commander-in-chief is the soul of the entire army, and junior officers are the important cornerstone of the entire army. They are in direct contact with ordinary soldiers, responsible for conveying the commander-in-chief's orders and combat ideas to the soldiers, and directly commanding the soldiers to fight. Shooting Killing these officers can generally disrupt the combat objectives of a group of soldiers, disintegrate the fighting spirit of the soldiers, and weaken the combat effectiveness of the unit.

Without the emperor's straightforward and detailed explanation, Xu Yu, Lan Fang, and Chang Buzhou would not have woken up and understood the importance of grassroots officers, as well as the particularity and importance of special operations.

They also understood why the emperor would grit his teeth and spend a lot of money, desperately training snipers and other special forces, treating them like treasures.

According to the most common understanding today, snipers are killer assassins who are supported by wealthy families with a lot of money, and special forces who perform special operations missions are dead soldiers.

It is precisely because Zhu Youjian explained and instilled various advanced modern military knowledge, special operations concepts, etc. to Xu Yu, Lan Fang, Chang Busan, the young favorite general, and the imperial military advisor Wu Buwei, that the four of them suddenly saw the light of day. He has made great progress and can understand Zhu Youjian's combat intentions most of the time.

Is he really that amazing?

Sun Chuanting, Gao Jie, Hu Dawei and other senior generals were dubious, and Huguang Commander-in-Chief Zuo Liangyu even showed disdain.
