The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

Chapter 125 Shocked the Nation
With these two surprises, Li Yunlong took out the battle report again. The brigade commander looked at the independent regiment's casualty ratio of 1:2 and felt that this was just the independent regiment's basic operation.

It was really amazing that Zhang Wu shot down a fighter plane and seized the squadron flag!

After warning Li Yunlong again not to act on his own, the brigade commander asked him to go back and deliver the weapons and equipment.

Looking at Li Yunlong's back, the brigade commander raised his lips unconsciously:

"Li Yunlong really gave face to the commander of the 386th Brigade this time!"

The Chief of Staff echoed:

"Yes, let's quickly tell the division commander and the headquarters the good news!"

The brigade commander nodded in agreement:

"Okay, I'll draft the call myself!"

Southeastern Shanxi, division headquarters.

After receiving the telegram from the brigade commander, the division commander's eyes lit up:
"To prepare for military command, one must first select the generals. It was a good idea to let Li Yunlong go to the independent regiment!

In the first battle, not only did we completely wipe out a Japanese regiment, but we also captured the regiment's flag. This really demonstrated the power of our 129th Division and even the entire Eighth Route Army!

Call back immediately and agree to add Zhang Wu as the 'Division Combat Hero'!"

As he said this, he crossed his arms over his chest, looking very proud:

"Zhang Wu was able to shoot down a plane from the sky, an unprecedented feat. So what if my 129th Division awards one more divisional combat hero this year?"

On the other side, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

"Haha, Boss, good news!"

After receiving the victory report from the 386th Brigade, the Deputy Chief of General Staff couldn't help but curl his lips. He walked quickly towards the boss and said with a smile:

"The 386th Brigade not only captured most of Liao County, but also wiped out an entire Japanese regiment in the process of fighting for reinforcements, with a casualty ratio of 1:2.

In this battle against reinforcements, Zhang Wu, a sharpshooter from the independent regiment, shot down two Japanese fighter planes!
Most importantly, they captured the Japanese's regiment flag!"

"Oh my goodness, the Japanese's regimental flag?!"

Hearing this, the boss's eyes lit up. He couldn't help but take the telegram and read it, and couldn't help laughing:
"Li Yunlong is really a man of few words. He can wipe out an entire regiment of the Japanese with just one regiment of soldiers!
They were able to shoot down planes in the sky and seize the regiment flag. Haha, this combat capability is second to none, not to mention the 129th Division, even the entire Eighth Route Army can be ranked first!"

"Yes, without relying on the allocation of a single gun or bullet from the superiors, the army has grown to a size of 3000 people just by relying on the captured weapons. It also has light and heavy weapons, infantry artillery, and pioneers who can shoot down planes in the sky. Li Yunlong's ability is evident!"

The Deputy Chief of General Staff echoed the sentiment:

"Moreover, through Yu County and Liao County, we have been connected with Jizhong. Relying on the favorable terrain of Taihang Mountain, we can make detours and become each other's stable rear!

It won’t be so easy for the Japs to raid us again! "

"That's right. Even before the Hundred Regiments Campaign ended, the Japanese were already ready to make a move."

The boss pointed to a few points on the outer edge of the map and said:
"In this area, the Japanese 4th Brigade, 9th Brigade, 21st Brigade, 29th Brigade, and even the 34th Division that is confronting Yan Laoxi are all watching covetously. I don't know what big action they are planning!

But the 386th Brigade opened up Yuliao, completely separating the 344th Brigade, and also formed a pincer attack from the north and south with the th Brigade in southeastern Shanxi. Humph, the Japanese will have to think twice before they move again! "

The Deputy Chief of General Staff nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he said:
"But this delicate balance won't last long. The Japanese still have an absolute advantage in the entire North China. They have previously used a small group of elite troops to infiltrate and launch sneak attacks. I think we should be on guard against the Japanese's sneak attacks!" "That makes sense!"

The boss directly ordered:

"Order the brigade-level and above command posts with radio stations, as well as the arsenals and field hospitals in the thin line of sky, to strictly prevent the Japanese from infiltrating and attacking!
By the way, the independent regiment has made great contributions, so give him a commendation as an encouragement."

"Okay, I'll go to simulate electricity later!"

The Deputy Chief of General Staff agreed and smiled again:
"The Hundred Regiments Campaign was originally organized to make the Eighth Route Army's voice heard. This time, the Independent Regiment captured the regiment flag, which has no less symbolic significance than the Hundred Regiments Campaign. We should make good use of it!"

"Haha, didn't Yan Laoxi publish the seized deputy officer's sword in the newspaper? Let's learn from him this time!"

The boss also laughed and said:

"Let's get on board the Japanese plane shot down by Zhang Wu, and show off our Eighth Route Army's achievements!"

"agree!"

With the operation of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, the flag of the Tiangang Regiment, the photo of the 4mm machine guns on four Zero fighters, and the caption that the Independent Regiment completely wiped out the Tiangang Regiment and Zhang Wu shot down a plane from the sky from the ground were published in the newspapers in less than 20 days.

It was the first time that a regiment flag was captured, and the first time that someone shot down a plane from the ground. The two zero breakthroughs, although not very harmful, were extremely insulting and instantly made the whole country boil.

Businesses across the country offered discounts to celebrate. Chongqing and the Second War Zone Commander-in-Chief even sent congratulatory messages, and radio broadcasts were played on a loop:
"Last time, the Japanese were still boasting that they were invincible and that there were very few casualties in the battle. But today, even the so-called regimental flag bestowed by the Emperor was seized by our army. This is ironclad evidence that exposes the Japanese's lies!
The brave warrior Zhang Wu shot down the Zero fighter plane, which was known as the king of the sky, with a rifle on the ground, which enhanced the prestige of our country. Salute to the brave warrior Zhang Wu, and the war of resistance will be won! "

The Japanese First Army Headquarters in Taiyuan.

"Damn it! They actually lost the regiment flag. The Tiangang family should all commit seppuku in front of the Emperor's portrait to apologize. No, they should all be exiled to Outer Mongolia!"

After hearing the broadcast and reading the newspaper, Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the First Army, who was severely humiliated, was so angry that he tore the newspaper to pieces.

Still not satisfied, he drew out his general's sword and started hacking and slashing in the headquarters until he had broken three vases and damaged two tables. Only then did he sit down on a chair exhausted.

After he calmed down a little, he asked the guards to clean up the mess and asked the messenger to call Yamamoto Ikki.

Looking at his trusted general, Shinozuka Yoshio said:
"Yamamoto-kun, you should have heard and seen it on the radio and in the newspapers. This is a humiliation to our First Army!"

"Hai, General, I have seen it!"

Yamamoto Ikki gritted his teeth and said, feeling the same way:
"The culprit for this humiliation is the Independent Regiment. The Fukado family and I have been looking for him but have not found him. Please ask the General's intelligence department..."

"No, no, no, Yamamoto-kun, the humiliation comes from the entire Eighth Route Army!"

Before Yamamoto Ikki could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shinozuka Yoshio:
"Instead of looking for a regimental unit without a radio, it is better to attack the Eighth Route Army's high-level units with dense signals, or even the Eighth Route Army's headquarters!"

As he spoke, endless viciousness flashed in Shinozuka Yoshio's eyes:
"Only by beating them to death can we make them feel fear and let them know that the Great Japanese Empire cannot be offended. Only then can we wash away the shame of the First Army!"

"Hai!"

Yamamoto Ikki had a goal long ago, but the independent group did not take action:
"In Le County in southeastern Shanxi, there is a place with dense radio wave signals. It is either the headquarters of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army or their headquarters!"
