When there is a war, why are people who carry military flags and blow trumpets so easily targeted?

In ancient wars, the military flag was the soul commander of a war, in fact, there was more than one commander in a war, and the military flag was one of them. The role of the military flag is too important, it is not only an important declaration of a combat-ready army, but also an important symbol of the division of territory.

Whether it is an ancient battle or a modern battle, everyone will always find such an interesting phenomenon when watching TV series, that is, in addition to machine gunners, the people who are most likely to die in war are the people who carry the military flag and the person who blows the trumpet. I often see a little comrade who blows the trumpet and gets a headshot while blowing, which is really amazing, but why is this?

It turns out that on the battlefield, the flag is a sign, as long as the flag is not there, there is a benchmark in the hearts of the soldiers, guiding the direction of the soldiers' charge. On the battlefield and in life, not every voice can be heard, in case of dispersal on the battlefield, the first thing soldiers look for is the battle flag of their army, and will move closer to the battle flag to form a force.

The enemy, of course, did not want to see the soldiers organize themselves to resist. Therefore, as long as the opponent's military flag is knocked down and the military flag falls, then the soldiers will lose their benchmark goal, they will not be able to organize, their morale and combat ability will inevitably drop greatly, and it will be easier to achieve victory. This move is a combination of psychology and actual combat.

Therefore, both sides of the war pay great attention to protecting the flag bearer, but this is still one of the most dangerous professions.

As for the trumpeters, this is important, because the different rhythms of the horns mean different orders, and the soldiers know when they hear the trumpets whether they are going to attack or retreat or change formations or something. Therefore, the trumpeter is the first target of the enemy, and once the trumpeter of an army is killed, then the commander's order cannot be quickly conveyed, and the mobility of the army is greatly reduced, so that the opponent will have a greater chance of victory.

Therefore, the trumpeter and the soldier carrying the flag will be the first target of the enemy, and they will often be focused on by the enemy's snipers when blowing the trumpet or charging, and then shoot the head. Therefore, these two kinds of soldiers must pay attention to concealment techniques, and human life is at stake, which is very important.

Because the military flag is the symbol of the army and the country, if the military flag is knocked out, it is equivalent to defeating the opponent. The bugle has the effect of boosting morale, and it can lower the morale of the person who blows the trumpet.

Because the military flag is the honor of the army. A person who blows the trumpet is someone who can be inspiring.

Because this is a symbol of the enemy's morale, as long as they are all killed, the enemy can lose confidence and not resist.
