The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

Chapter 157 Is This Still the Brigade Commander?
The chief of staff looked at the map and suddenly realized it. He gave Ding Wei a thumbs up and said with full conviction:

"Commander, no wonder the 4th Front Army has so many commanders and fighters. The boss only chose you to study in Yan'an. You have a long-term strategic vision!"

Ding Wei raised his lips somewhat complacently, but waved his hand and scolded with a smile:

"Okay, stop flattering me and go down and pass on the message!"

The Chief of Staff stood at attention and saluted:
"Yes!"

At the same time, the 358th Regiment, which had already arrived in northwest Shanxi, also heard the news.

Before Chief of Staff Fang Ligong finished reporting the news that the Independent Regiment had completely wiped out the Zaoshan Detachment, Chu Yunfei stood up in shock.

After reacting, he looked at Fang Ligong in disbelief and couldn't help asking:

"Is the news true?"

He was not surprised that the independent regiment could reach a size of 4500 people, as the last time a joint attack took place, the independent regiment had 3800 people.

But to completely wipe out a 5000-man Japanese detachment was impossible for the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, let alone the two divisions of the Central Army!

"It's true. This news has spread throughout the entire Second War Zone!"

Fang Ligong's pupils shrank again. It was obvious that when he got the news, he was no less shocked than Chu Yunfei:

"This was even after the Japanese sent out planes and tanks and discovered the ambush of the Independent Regiment in advance. To be honest, Commander, I can't imagine how the Independent Regiment won this victory!
It’s incredible!”

“It’s really incredible!”

Chu Yunfei sighed, and after pacing back and forth in the headquarters twice, he came up with an idea and said:
"But it's not unimaginable. With the sharpshooter Zhang Wu here, it's not surprising that the independent regiment can create any miracle!"

As he spoke, he pulled at the white gloves on his hands, and admired Zhang Wu's explanation of facts and reasoning to Fang Ligong:

"Before we cooperated with the independent regiment, Zhang Wu was already able to shoot down the Japanese planes. During the cooperation, he was also the one who shot down the tanks!

As for the independent regiment being discovered in advance, haha, I wonder if you still remember the Battle of Cangyun Ridge?
At that time, the New 1st Regiment completely blocked the Sakata Regiment and stationed heavy troops at the headquarters. Zhang Wu was still able to kill the Sakata Regiment headquarters under this circumstance. This time, by infiltrating and destroying the Japanese heavy artillery, he could equalize or even surpass the firepower advantage!
In addition, the Eighth Route Army is best at night attacks. I think, during the night attack, it was Zhang Wu who resolved the Japanese devils' vigilance, allowing the independent regiment to launch the night attack smoothly!

This is how we achieved this incredible victory!"

After Fang Ligong heard this, his pupils shrank sharply and he nodded in agreement:

"The magic spear Zhang Wu is so terrifying!"

"Yes!"

Chu Yunfei showed a complex expression of admiration, pride in Zhang Wu, and the desire to recruit him as his subordinate. Then he walked to the window, looked in the direction of Hengtangpu, and murmured:
"That's why I said it's best not to fight him on the battlefield!"

On the other hand, when Mr. Ke of the Special Committee heard the news, an expression of joy appeared on his face, which usually showed no emotion.

He immediately instructed the Special Operations Department, which was closest to the 386th Brigade, to ask the 386th Brigade for detailed battle reports on the Independent Regiment's battle, especially those about Zhang Wu.

They had already figured out the intelligence about the Japanese airport, but the Japanese learned the lesson from the Battle of Yangmingbao and stationed one reorganized regiment at Taiyuan Airport and two reorganized battalions at Yangquan Airport. They also defended the airport three or four kilometers in front, with a post every five steps and a sentry every ten steps. The level of strictness was appalling.

They tried to attack to test the reaction time of the Japanese, but in just 5 minutes, the Japanese were able to provide support.

They believed that it would be almost impossible for Zhang Wu to launch a surprise attack on the airport under such circumstances!
It was the night attack by the independent regiment that gave them hope again.

When Ke Gong saw the detailed battle report of the independent regiment, his eyes suddenly lit up. It’s OK. Zhang Wu has the ability to infiltrate and lurk, and he can definitely replicate the Yangmingbao victory!

In order to reduce the difficulty of Zhang Wu, they selected Yangquan Airport and began to make final preparations for Zhang Wu's operation. When they asked the 386th Brigade for detailed information about Zhang Wu, the Independent Regiment had already received the commendation of the General Staff for the Independent Regiment, the title of Zhang Wu, and the General Staff's praise for Zhang Wu's "greatness" from the Brigade Commander.

"Haha, Lao Li, the brigade commander really gave me face this time!"

Looking at the telegram, Zhao Gang couldn't help laughing and said:
"Not only did they meet all our demands, they didn't even ask for a single gun, and they applied for a commendation for us as the 'Indomitable Combat Regiment', just asking us not to provoke the Japanese during this period!

And the boss praised our Zhang Wu. Wow, our independent regiment has three good things today!"

"You've given us so many benefits, but you don't want a gun? Is this still a brigade commander?"

Although he was also happy, Li Yunlong knew the brigade commander too well. He took the message, thought for a moment, and then suddenly understood and said directly:

"Old Zhao, it looks like we have to recruit soldiers quickly!"

"Hurry up and recruit soldiers?"

Zhao Gang couldn't quite keep up with Li Yunlong's pace. He was completely confused and couldn't figure out what the commendation telegram for three good things had to do with the unrelated task of recruiting soldiers.

Seeing Zhao Gang's expression, Li Yunlong reminded him:
"Given our brigade commander's temper, he should have congratulated us on our wealth a long time ago. Why doesn't he want actual benefits this time, and instead takes the initiative to give us the commendation of the entire independent regiment?"

Seeing that Zhao Gang still didn't understand, Li Yunlong looked disappointed and explained:
"This is asking our regiment to take on a heavier task! We have taken such a big advantage from the Japanese this time, they will definitely take revenge, right? Take another look at the map..."

As he said this, he took Zhao Gang to the map, pointed at the situation on it and continued:

"There are brigade-level Japanese troops in Yangquan, Huting, and Changzhi. If they add Shouxian and Yuanxian, they will form a huge encirclement of the entire Jinzhong and southeastern Shanxi. If they start a sweep from Jizhong, they will cut off our retreat..."

Li Yunlong didn't need to say anything more, Zhao Gang suddenly took over the conversation:
"They are going to eat us up in one bite!"

"That's right!"

Li Yunlong said confidently:

"By then, the brigade, division, headquarters and even the Northern Bureau will have to move. The brigade commander wants us to be the main force for cover!"

"That's not what I said!"

Zhao Gang patted his chest and said with a firm look:
"It is an honor to be able to take on such an important task. I will recruit soldiers and you will be responsible for training them. Let the Japanese know how powerful our independent regiment is!"

"Don't be anxious, it would be a shame to waste such a good opportunity!"

Li Yunlong waved his hand:

"First, let the whole regiment gather together and announce this good news. Then, set Zhang Wu as an example to motivate the soldiers to strive for the first place. Then, train them hard, and they will be speechless. In battle, they will be able to burst out with tremendous combat effectiveness!
Look at the battle of Hengtangpu. How well did our soldiers fight? "

Hearing this, Zhao Gang raised his eyebrows, gave Li Yunlong a thumbs up, and scolded with a smile:

"You really can seize every opportunity to boost morale and train soldiers. You can not only make the soldiers willing to do it, but also increase the cohesion of our regiment. This is what I admire most about you!"

"That is!"

Li Yunlong shook his head proudly:

"Otherwise, how come my soldiers always win the battle?"

When they reached an agreement, the 4th Battalion also helped Zhang Wu catch a night owl.
