The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

Chapter 114 Targeting the Japanese Aircraft

"Okay, just have confidence!"

When everyone had finished speaking, Li Yunlong nodded and said, based on the principle of training cadres:
"Come here and study where is the best place for us to set up an ambush!"

While the battalion and company commanders were studying the map, Li Yunlong pulled Zhang Wu aside and asked:

"The Japanese planes are flying around Yu County every day. Every time they come, there is a reconnaissance plane and two fighter planes. I don't know what the hell they are flying around for!
Wu County is adjacent to Yu County. We can march and arrange the battlefield at night, but the Japs refuse to travel at night, so the ambush must be carried out during the day, and then we might be hit by the Japs' planes!

How about it? If the Japanese planes strafe at low altitude, do you have the confidence to shoot them?"

"Have!"

Zhang Wu patted his chest and assured:

"No matter how fast the Japanese planes are, they are not as fast as my bullets. As long as they dare to strafe at low altitude, any of them will be a blessing to our independent regiment!"

"Good job, you have a lot of momentum!"

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up, he patted Zhang Wu on the shoulder and said:

"I will set up observation posts and messengers at a distance, and arrange light machine gun traps to drive the Japanese planes towards you. It will be up to you then. Beat the fuck out of him!"

Zhang Wu stood at attention with his chest out:

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!"

Patting Zhang Wu on the shoulder again, Li Yunlong returned to the crowd, looked at the people's work on the drawings, and marked a few points, and nodded secretly.

Seeing that people were still discussing heatedly, he waved his hand and said:

"Okay, tell me, where is the best ambush point?"

"I think it should be placed in Kamikaze Ridge!"

Zhang Dabiao spoke first:
"The terrain of Kamikaze Ridge is difficult to attack and easy to defend. There is a mountain stream 500 meters behind that can be used to hide soldiers. It is also suitable for 3000 people to deploy. The road below is also narrow, which makes it easy to split the Japanese into several sections.

After all, the Tiangang Corps has 2800 people, their firepower is not weak, and they have heavy weapons. Only in this kind of terrain can we destroy them all! "

"Not good, Kamikaze Ridge is too close to Yu County. The Japanese planes fly around Yu County every day, and it's easy for them to find us before they ambush us!"

The third battalion commander immediately retorted:

"I think we should put it at Changshengpo in Wu County. Although the terrain there is a little worse, it is far away from Yu County and there is no harassment from the Japanese planes. If we launch a sudden attack, we can still wipe out the Tiangang Regiment!"

"Changsheng Slope won't work. The terrain there is not just slightly bad, it is extremely bad. Let alone 3000 people, even 1500 people can't deploy!"

Shen Quan disagrees with the Third Battalion Commander:

"We can't spread out, but the Japanese feel comfortable. The road below is wide and straight, and it will be easy for the Japanese to concentrate their firepower. Then we won't be ambushing the Japanese, they will have to ambush us!"

As he spoke, he pointed to a spot in Liao County:
"I think we should put it in Qipangou, Liao County. There are seven bends here. We can concentrate our firepower there, but the Japanese will have trouble doing that..."

Before he could finish his words, he was refuted:

"No, Qipangou is too close to Liao County, and our ambush will be in the daytime. With the lessons learned from Yu County, how could there be no Japanese planes in Liao County?
We will be more easily discovered then.

In addition, our ambush was before our friendly forces attacked the county town, and the county town provided support to the Tiangang Regiment. How could we fight back? "

"There are only three places on the road, where else can it be placed?"

"In my opinion, it should be placed in Kamikaze Ridge..."

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Li Yunlong waved his hand:

"Stop arguing, my brain is going to explode!"

When people quieted down, he hummed with satisfaction:
"I've decided to place the ambush point at Kamikaze Ridge! Zhang Wu will take care of the Japanese planes!"

As soon as Li Yunlong finished speaking, everyone looked at Zhang Wu.

At this point in 1940, no one had ever shot down a plane from the sky.

After a while, Zhang Dabiao reacted and asked in disbelief:
"Zhang Wu, the speed of the Japanese plane is very fast. It will be behind your head in the blink of an eye. Can you react in time?"

Others also echoed:
"Yeah, let alone rifles, even machine guns can hardly hit a diving plane, let alone shoot it down!"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, I believe in Zhang Wu!"

Li Yunlong stopped them again and said unhappily:

"Just do your job well. If there are any problems, I will take care of them. You don't need to worry about them!
Now I give the orders that the first and third battalions should form the front, the second and fourth battalions should form the rear, and the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth battalions should be in the middle to support both sides at any time. They should all launch the attack together based on my signal.

When we arrived at the scene, each battalion was assigned a light machine gun and three machine gunners. I was going to set a trap for the Japanese planes.

They don't have to do anything else but wait for the Japanese planes to arrive, and follow my orders to drive the planes to Zhang Wu's side!"

All the main battalion company commanders stood at attention and saluted:

"Yes!"

Li Yunlong then looked at Liang Shuisheng:
"Shuisheng, the three grenade launcher battalions will be divided into nine companies, which will be scattered among the battalions to provide artillery support. Your simplified infantry artillery battalion will provide long-range artillery support.

There are quite a few new recruits in the artillery battalion this time. How long will it take to make a temporary adjustment?"

Liang Shuisheng thought for a moment and said:

"Conservatively speaking, it would take three minutes for a grenade launcher and five minutes for an infantry gun. I will try my best..."

"No, just follow this time!"

Li Yunlong interrupted him and said:
"It's okay to go slower, but don't fire randomly. The Japs have a lot of heavy firepower. If you get confused, we'll suffer heavy casualties!"

Liang Shuisheng stood at attention and saluted:
"Yes!"

Li Yunlong nodded to him, and finally looked at Zhang Wu:
"Zhang Wu, I'll give you 200 rounds of ammunition. You can still choose your own shooting point, but give priority to attacking the Japanese heavy artillery, especially the four mountain cannons.

Then, while Shuisheng adjusted the artillery fire, he suppressed the Japanese machine guns and grenade launchers.

Your ability is limited, so suppress as much as you can.

If a Japanese plane comes and you see machine guns coming towards you, shoot down the Japanese plane first!

Once you have chosen your location, tell me and I will have the nearest battalion prepare 200 more rounds of ammunition for you as a backup."

Seeing that Li Yunlong had arranged everything for him, Zhang Wu felt warm in his heart. He quickly stood at attention and saluted:

"Yes, Captain, I promise to complete the mission!"

"Ok!"

Li Yunlong patted Zhang Wu's shoulder again, then glanced at everyone:
"Alright, everyone, go down and prepare. When the intelligence from the Special Committee arrives, follow my orders and start the action!"

"Yes!"

Everyone went downstairs to prepare, and after guns and ammunition were distributed, Zhang Wu also received 200 rounds of bullets. After they were ready to set off at any time, on the fifth day, the special committee members arrived at the independent regiment.

"finally come!"

Seeing the intelligence that the Uedagang Regiment would set out to support Liaoxian County in 10 days, and knowing that it would take two nights to get from Zhaojiabao to Shenfengling, Li Yunlong immediately gave the order:

"Tell the kitchen to prepare five days of dry food and water. Five days later, the independent regiment will officially set out at night!"
