Chapter 156: Sniper Squad
During the Napoleonic period, England established a sniper unit with rifled guns, and Napoleon suffered a lot in front of this green jacket sniper corps.
During the Battle of the Peninsula, an ordinary soldier in a green jacket even sniped a French general from a distance of three hundred meters.
The world's first regular formed sniper unit used the Baker rifle, a rifled rifle with a leather-wrapped bullet into the rifling.
Zhu Shun has a more advanced rear-loading rifled gun in his hand, as well as a conical bullet, and it is definitely feasible to establish a green jacket sniper unit of the Ming Dynasty.
With rear-loading rifled guns and conical bullets, there are also reconnaissance units that have reached the peak of cold weapons, such as Night Guards and Tang Cavalry, to help with training.
Zhu Shun couldn't help but smile and said: "The picture is too beautiful, I don't dare to look at it." ”
The selection of snipers is very different from that of ordinary soldiers, the first requirement is not physical fitness, the first is intelligence, to be intelligent, to be good at mathematics.
First of all, the distance between the two sides can be visually measured, and then according to the wind, gravity, temperature, humidity and other conditions, the ballistic arc required by the bullet can be calculated to determine the angle of the muzzle.
Secondly, you must have a keen sense of observation, latent and camouflage ability, etc., and the rest of the points are similar to Daming's night and pond riding.
Zhu Shun followed Hu Blind and Yang Bald to a hill near Wang Gongju, which had not been poisoned by the Jurchen Tartars, and was overgrown with pine trees.
Walking past a dry riverbed, I saw a col at the foot of the mountain.
There were twenty young people in the mountain col, who were practicing marksmanship with Zhu Zhongyi of the hundred households, using only ordinary smoothbore guns.
The blind man Hu looked at Zhu Zhongyi, who hit the target with one shot, and said enviously: "Lao Zhu is worthy of being the first marksman of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and he can also hit the target with a smoothbore gun." ”
"No wonder he was selected to enter the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and Mr. Cao didn't talk to Inspector Yuan for several days, if I had this ability, I guess I could also let Mr. Cao be a treasure to protect him."
Yang Bald glanced at him, and habitually choked him: "You are not bad, who doesn't know that your kid's reconnaissance ability is the strongest in all the nights." ”
"I don't know how your kid's brain grows, obviously there is not even a hair in front of you, you have to go back to report that there is an ambush, but there is really an ambush under the river embankment more than 20 miles away."
"Because of this matter, Lao Tzu, the small flag of the pond ride, has been scolded by the general general, saying that we are all straw bales, I have always wanted to ask you, how was it discovered."
The blind man glanced at Zhu Shun without leaving a trace, and said with a smile: "Luck." ”
It may be luck once, and eight times out of ten, this is the ability.
Hu Blind noticed that Zhu Shun was interested in this matter, and suddenly scolded: "You kid is embarrassed to say Lao Tzu, who doesn't know that you are the most powerful breath-holding king in Tangqi." ”
"The average Liaodong sergeant will die of thirst if he doesn't drink water for three days, but you kid can be good, like a king bastard, you can go six days and six nights without eating or drinking."
"In order to shoot a Jurchen cow, Lu Ezhen hid in an old pine tree for six days and six nights, and finally shot him with a bow and an arrow."
Zhu Shun listened to the two of them scolding each other as if they were scolding each other, but they were actually praising each other, and he felt a little funny, and he understood what they meant.
It is estimated that I heard that I spent fifty taels of silver to hire Zhang Tao, these two guys are red-eyed, anyway, there is no one above and there is no hope of promotion in this life, it is better to be a guard for the Zhu family, at least I can earn more silver, so that the life of the family is better.
Zhu Shun also has this meaning, Hu Blind and Yang Bald are both in the cold Liaodong, the top Ye Bu Shui and Tang Qi cultivated with one knife and one arrow, as long as they master the sniper skills, they are definitely super-first-class snipers.
Zhu Shun is not ready to say it now, it is quite interesting to dry these two guys first, so that the two of them are in a hurry.
Sure enough, after a flattery, both of them listened to Zhu Shun's reaction with their ears crossed, and waited for a long time, but they didn't wait for him to say half a word.
Zhu Shun instead quickened his pace, walked over, and walked to Zhu Zhongyi's side.
Hu Blind couldn't help complaining: "I blame you kid, what you said just now is too unlevel, why don't you say it when Lao Tzu slaughtered a few Jurchen Tartars, you have to say anything about reconnaissance ability." ”
Yang Bald was not happy when he heard this, and scolded: "Get out of here, you still say that I am the eighth king, you didn't listen to the play, now you pay attention to the battle for three days, three nights or dozens of rounds." ”
"You said that you had to say that I hid for six days and attacked others like a villain, and it is estimated that it is this sentence that makes Ambassador Zhu have nothing to say, and it is almost the same to blame you."
The two quarreled without saying a word, if it weren't for Zhu Zhongyi here, they would definitely fight on the spot.
When Zhu Shun came to the temporarily opened school grounds, the twenty young men all put down the smoothbore guns in their hands and looked at Zhu Shun with fanatical faces, quite a bit of a religious looking at Allah.
Last year, when millions of people had no food, it was the living Bodhisattva in front of them who gave them a way to live.
Not only did they have food for themselves, but they also let their mothers go to work in Zhu's spinning factory, where they could earn a lot of silver.
You must know that now being able to enter the Zhu's Spinning Factory, which has a very high monthly income, is a symbol of status, and going out in the work clothes of the Zhu's Spinning Factory will attract the envy of many people, and it will automatically be superior to others.
Dad can also have a temporary portership job in Wang Gong's Bureau, plus they themselves have a very good monthly salary, not only is they not skinny like other victims, but all the five or six people in the family can eat enough, and the food is still dry.
You can still eat meat every three or four months!
This is something they dare not think about for several lifetimes, after all, the various harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes of the Ming Dynasty are so heavy, it is good to be able to eat enough.
As early as last year, Zhu Shun compiled a sniper training manual based on the sniper experience taught to him by his previous marksmanship master and handed it to his second uncle.
It involves various harsh guidelines such as shooting, observation, visual distance, camouflage and concealment, stealth, etc., and then strictly trains this group of reserve snipers according to the experience of Hu Blind and Yang Bald from fighting on the line of life and death.
Zhu Shun picked up a sweat towel from the wooden shelf next to the school field and handed it to the second uncle: "Second uncle, how is the training?" ”
Baihu Zhu Zhongyi took the sweat towel, grinned, did not speak, and made an offensive tactical sign language.
The twenty men quickly divided into five squads, four in groups, each consisting of snipers, observers, and two fire coverers, ran to the far open area to begin the exercise.
Zhu Shun took a clairvoyant mirror from his second uncle, observed the sniper team's drills through the clairvoyant mirror, looked at the sniper squad that could only conduct exercises, and suddenly thought of his sixth brother Zhu Tie.
I don't know what happened to him in Liaodong.
