The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

Chapter 16 Tactics
While the New 1st Regiment was advancing towards Panshui Town, Lieutenant Morita was bragging in front of the sergeant at the gendarmerie headquarters in Panshui Town.

“Although the Zuoyuan Squadron has left, you don’t have to worry. Major Kamei has deployed two heavy machine guns and six light machine guns to the firing points on the town wall.

Moreover, I also asked Captain Jiro Fukado of the Takeuchi United to come and help!"

Lieutenant Morita said with a hint of pride:
"Captain Fukado is a sniper of the Empire, he will definitely be able to eliminate that sharpshooter Zhang Wu!"

He raised three fingers:
"As long as we can endure for another three days, Captain Fukado will be able to reach Panshui Town!"

"Captain Fukado?"

The sergeant blinked his eyes.
"He is the Fukado family that your sister married into, the representative of the young military of the empire, the second son of the commander of the Fukado Brigade?"

Lieutenant Morita couldn't help but curl his lips as he felt his itch was being tickled.
"Yoko is the pride of the Morita family!"

"That's great!"

The sergeant showed an excited expression and flattered him:

"With Captain Fukado's help, that sharpshooter Zhang Wu will surely die! Captain Fukado will definitely not forget the credit you gave him. Perhaps before long, you will be Captain Morita!"

"Haha, that depends on the needs of the empire!"

Lieutenant Morita couldn't hold back his laughter any longer. He patted the sergeant on the shoulder:

"Go and pass on my order now. During these three nights, the soldiers patrolling the area should not leave their bunkers and turn off the lights. However, the grenade launchers and mortar positions under the town wall should not be withdrawn, and flares should also be prepared.

If the sharpshooter Zhang Wu dares to come close, then find him and blow him to death!"

The sergeant stood at attention and bowed his head respectfully:
"Hai!"

On the other side, Li Yunlong led the new regiment and quickly arrived at Xiaofengling.

He arranged for the soldiers to rest in Xiaofengling, and then sent out scouts to explore Panshui Town while waiting for night to fall.

As night fell, the scouts came back with reports one after another, and Li Yunlong's face became more and more joyful.

"Haha, the Japs really give me face!"

After hearing that the Japanese had closed the entrance, all the lights on the blockhouses, fortifications, and town walls, Li Yunlong slapped his thigh excitedly, and a tactic came up instantly:
“Knowing that our Eighth Route Army is good at close combat and night fighting, they didn’t even turn on the lights!
God is kind to us. The moon is not bright tonight and the wind is strong. It is a good time to kill the Japanese devils!"

"Captain, it is true that God gave us face, but how could the Japanese give us face?"

Zhang Dabiao pursed his lips and smirked and said jokingly:
"They didn't dare to turn on the lights. It was obvious that they were beaten by Zhang Wu! The squadron that supported them left, and they were waiting for Zhang Wu to come back and attack them!"

"Don't I know? Do you need me to tell you?"

Li Yunlong glared and pretended to kick:
"You dare to make fun of me? You are so rebellious. I will kick you to death!"

Zhang Dabiao quickly dodged to give Li Yunlong a way out.

Li Yunlong then retracted his foot and hummed with satisfaction:
"Quickly call all the battalion commanders and Zhang Wu. I need to arrange tactics."

"Yes!"

After Zhang Dabiao called people over, Li Yunlong spread out the map. Zhang Dabiao was sensible and helped hold the map with one hand while turning on the flashlight with the other hand to shine on it. Li Yunlong pointed to Panshui Town on the map and began to give orders:
"The terrain of Panshui Town is narrow and can only accommodate a company's skirmish line. The whole regiment gathered together to attack because the Japanese artillery's hit rate was too low.

We will split our troops into two groups. I will lead the first battalion and Zhang Wu to attack this exit, and the second and third battalions will go to the other exit. I will assign six grenade launchers to you!

There was no signal for this attack. We set 12 o'clock as the time point and organized our own assault team to seize the fortifications and blockhouses!

Try not to shoot when you start to seize the place. The Japanese have turned off the lights. If we don't give them a hand-to-hand fight, how can we be worthy of their efforts? "

Hearing this, all the battalion and company commanders laughed.

This is similar to my previous night attack on Panshui Town!
Zhang Wu couldn't help laughing. He was complaining in his heart, and suddenly remembered Panshui Town's response. He took this opportunity to remind them:
"Captain, the last time I attacked Panshui Town, they didn't turn on the lights either, and then suddenly fired flares to find me! You have to take the flares into consideration, right?" "Flares?!"

Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows, then nodded, and said along this line of thought:

“It really needs to be taken into consideration!

The quality of the Japanese soldiers was not bad. Although we were good at close combat and night combat, we were not familiar with the terrain. If we sneaked into the Japanese fortifications and blockhouses, we would be exposed in advance if we failed to kill them quickly as soon as the guns sounded and the Japanese fired flares.

On one side of the town wall alone, there is 1 heavy machine gun, 6 light machine guns, and a blockhouse...

In this way, if an accident occurs, Zhang Wu, you will suppress the Japanese machine guns and provide favorable conditions for the assault team to seize fortifications and blockhouses.

Second Battalion and Third Battalion, an accident has occurred. Don't attack with all your might. Use grenade launchers and heavy machine guns to hold down the wall. Once I succeed, I will send Zhang Wu to support you!

With such a small shooting range, a strong attack would just be a tactic to add fuel to the fire. We can't do such a stupid thing!"

"Yes Yes!"

Zhang Wu, the second battalion commander, and the third battalion commander all nodded in acceptance of the order.

Li Yunlong patted Zhang Wu on the shoulder:

"Zhang Wu, this battle has been hard for you!"

Zhang Wu grinned:
"It's not hard, Commander. Killing the Japanese is such a great pleasure. I wish you could assign me more missions!"

"Good, there is a lot of momentum, they are soldiers of me, Li Yunlong!"

Li Yunlong patted Zhang Wu's shoulder again, and then continued:

"Only after we seize the fortifications and blockhouses can the demolition team go and blow up the gate. Then we can use grenades as cover to blow up the gate and hold it!"

Li Yunlong clenched his fist, his eyes flashing with cruelty:
"Blow the charge horn again, charge into Panshui Town and chop off the f**king Japanese heads!"

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!"

Everyone present stood at attention and saluted, then went down to prepare.

After everything was ready, the New 1st Regiment split into two groups and headed straight for Panshui Town.

When they arrived at the outskirts of Panshui Town, Li Yunlong asked Zhang Wu to choose the sniper point by himself, and the others followed him into the attack position.

Two heavy machine guns and three light machine guns were scattered on the skirmish line to provide fire support, and six mortars provided support. Zhang Dabiao personally led the 2st Company and used two machine guns as an assault team.

This also includes 5 demolitionists, who are prepared to blast the gate.

Zhang Wuze found a sniper point 460 meters away from the town wall, where he had a wide shooting range and could take into account fortifications and blockhouses.

He is an insurance against accidents. It is possible that he will have to attack fortifications or blockhouses, so there must be no blind spots!
After choosing a good position, he lay down on the sniper point, adjusted himself to a comfortable posture, took out bullets to fill the magazine of the Type 38 rifle, then opened the [lock], ready to shoot at any time.

In this way, time passed and soon it was 12 o'clock in the evening.

Li Yunlong felt that it was almost time, and said to Zhang Dabiao who had been waiting beside him:

"on!"

"Captain, just wait and see!"

Zhang Dabiao nodded with full fighting spirit, drew out his sword, led a company, and quietly moved towards the Japanese fortifications.
