The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

In addition to high-resolution optical observation equipment, the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft also had radios, so they could send messages back to the headquarters at any time.

Moreover, not only the middle route, but the other two routes were also discovered one after another because the Japanese planes took off early and the strict defense on the ground was delayed, and the Japanese planes took off early.

Upon receiving the news, Yoshio Shinozuka immediately gave orders. In addition to dividing the Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment into three parts to intercept and dispatching a mixed flying squadron to carry out bombing, he also let the remaining troops of the 3th Brigade take the initiative and cooperate with various towns, artillery towers, and strongholds to encircle and intercept the three routes of the Independent Regiment.

At the same time, Li Yunlong had concentrated all his strength in the middle.

If we want to fight a tough battle and race against time with the Japanese, we will be too scattered if we move company by company.

The entire central route now has the 5th, 8th, 9th, and 10th Battalions with more than 200 people each, a cavalry company, a direct company, a special service company, two infantry artillery reinforced companies with 2 infantry guns, and two grenade launcher battalions with 8 grenade launchers, a total of more than 2 people.

"Quick, assemble the infantry gun for me!"

While letting Liang Shuisheng assemble the infantry artillery, Li Yunlong loudly made the final mobilization before the battle:
"Comrades, this time is different from the past. The pursuers may already be on the way. We don't have time to waste with the Japs who are blocking our way.

From here to Shutou Village, the road with the least Japanese troops has 2 artillery towers and 2 strongholds.

When the fighting starts, fight to the death. Don't worry about wasting ammunition. We must reach Shutou Village before the Japanese catch up with us!
Once we enter the mountains, the Japanese's wheels and horseshoes will be useless, and we will be able to reach Zhaojiayu safely!"

"Yes!"

All the soldiers said in unison.

After the infantry artillery was assembled, Li Yunlong immediately commanded his troops to attack the nearest artillery tower.

Boom boom boom, da da da, all da da

Although there were only more than 1000 people, the firepower of the Central Independent Regiment was still almost equal to that of half a regiment of the Japanese. Coupled with Zhang Wu, a rapid-fire sniper, the Japanese with only artillery towers and strongholds were no match for them.

The Japanese tried every possible way to hold on, but they could only watch helplessly as they were destroyed in the face of firepower so powerful that it could wipe out the entire area.

In less than two hours, the central route broke through all the Japanese artillery towers.

If the Japanese planes had not come over for several rounds of bombing and killed hundreds of Japanese soldiers in the middle lane, it would not have taken so long, with more than 100 casualties!

Due to the powerful firepower, Zhang Wu only gained 78 experience points.

He didn't care about this. The top priority now was to get into the mountains first.

Only when he reaches a safe place can he gain experience without any worries.

In this way, they rushed towards Shutou Village, marching continuously, but the success in the early stage seemed to have used up their good luck. Just when they were still a few hundred meters away from reaching the mountainous area of ​​Shutou Village, an early warning suddenly sounded in Zhang Wu's mind:

[Warning, warning, there is a fatal threat to the south, type: cavalry, please respond as soon as possible! Warning, warning...]

[Warning, warning, there will be a fatal threat to the northeast, type: reconnaissance aircraft, bomber, please respond as soon as possible! Warning, warning...]

Cavalry, airplanes!!!
Hearing the system's alarm, Zhang Wu's heart skipped a beat. Damn it, it was just a few hundred meters away!
Now is not the time to complain about these things. He has the wisdom of Li Yunlong and will soon find a solution. But when he saw the scout going to find Li Yunlong, he knew that Li Yunlong, who wanted to preserve his troops, would definitely think the same as him, so he accelerated and ran into the mountains.

The Japanese gave him such a big gift, is it okay for him not to return it?

By the way, he would stir up hatred, let the Japanese soldiers search the mountain, and then ambush them. Only by killing more Japanese soldiers could he relieve the hatred in his heart!
If he has a grudge, he always takes revenge on the spot!

At the same time, Li Yunlong also received a report from the reconnaissance post. He frowned and cursed angrily:
"Damn it, the Japanese devils are really haunting me, not even letting me breathe!" After a little thought, he came up with an idea. Just as he was about to call Zhang Wu, he saw Zhang Wu running towards the mountain with his head down. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and exclaimed:
"Zhang Wu is really the worm in my stomach!"

Then he gave the order directly:

"Have all the cavalry company dismount and gather the horses at the end of the team. Have Shuisheng unload all the towing artillery. Have the mules and horses gather together with the war horses and light their tails to drive into the Japanese cavalry formation to disrupt their charging formation!

Let Shuisheng place all the cannons across the middle of the road, along with the shells. Once the horses are released, blow them all up. Anyway, they can't take them away without the horses, so we might as well use them to delay the speed of the Japanese cavalry!"

"Yes!"

The messenger immediately went down to deliver the message.

Li Yunlong then said to the second messenger:
"Tell everyone to ignore the Japanese planes and run directly to the mountains. Once the Japanese cavalry bypasses these obstacles, you will have no chance to escape!"

"Yes!"

The second wave of messengers went to deliver the message again.

As the order was given, hundreds of horses with their tails lit charged straight towards the Japanese cavalry. Then Sun Desheng helped Shuisheng move the cannons horizontally, set the fuses, ignite them, and then ran into the mountains.

Boom
With a few loud bangs, the eight infantry guns and the exploded shells turned into countless burning debris. Although they could not block the entire plain, together with the herd of fire horses, they forced the Japanese cavalry to slow down.

But the Japanese planes were not affected and began to drop bombs from high altitude at the running soldiers of the Independent Regiment.

Boom boom boom

Although bombs dropped from high altitudes had little accuracy, they were concentrated within a few hundred meters, and the soldiers of the independent regiment were running, so the casualties caused were not small, and even more weapons were destroyed.

Fortunately, the Japanese planes were fast and could only bomb in rounds. After the first round was over, the soldiers who were not killed in the bombing rushed into the mountains.

While directing the soldiers to find shelters to avoid the bombing, Li Yunlong counted the casualties. When he saw that more than 100 people had died, including more than 20 cavalrymen and artillerymen, he gritted his teeth and cursed:

"Damn it, the Japanese's heads must be used to pay for the lives of my brothers! Go, let Zhang Wu kill the fat ones, and make sure to hurt the Japanese so that they will have to search the mountain!"

Without his order, Zhang Wu was already looking for the senior commander in the cavalry.

Especially Colonel Kuroshima!
After searching with the telescope but failing to find the major-level officer, he used the scope of the Carl 98K to search again. Finally, at a distance of about 750 meters, he found the colonel who was protected by several guards at the back through a gap in the Japanese cavalry!
found it!
Zhang Wu's eyes lit up. How much was the Japanese emperor's cousin, a baron, worth?

Without any hesitation, he quickly pulled the bolt to load the bullet, aimed at Colonel Kuroshima's head, and with the help of the [Headlock], he fired a shot:
"Die to me!"

Snapped

Colonel Kuroshima was ordering his men to bypass the wreckage and wait for the arrival of the rest of the 9th Brigade to continue the pursuit with them. He had never expected that Zhang Wu could lock onto him from such a long distance through a group of cavalry.

Without any reaction, he was shot in the head by Zhang Wu and had to report to his cousin in advance.

[Ding, kill a Japanese Baron, gain 380 experience points. (9822/16000)]
