The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

Upon hearing the news that Zhang Wu had returned, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang led the entire regiment to line up to welcome him.

In addition to all the people present, Zhao Gang also brought five commendations and had someone hold 5 yuan and an outfit covered in red and decorated with big red flowers.

Villagers from Zhaojiayu also came out to join in the fun, including Comrade Xiuqin, director of the Women's Rescue Association.

After greeting Secretary Miao who was escorting him, Li Yunlong gave Zhang Wu a big hug, then patted Zhang Wu on the shoulder and laughed:

"Haha, Zhang Wu, you're really awesome. This time, not only did you avenge our Eighth Route Army, but you also made our Independent Regiment famous again!"

Zhao Gang also nodded and agreed:

"Yes, two lieutenant generals, two major generals, and more than 2 lieutenant generals at one time. This is unique in the history of our entire war of resistance!"

As he spoke, he shook the award in his hand and said with a smile:

"Look, this is all the commendation I've given you, not to mention your promotion to deputy regiment commander level and the 5000 dollar reward!"

A bunch of commendations, deputy regiment level, 5000 dollars? !
Zhang Wu's eyes lit up. With so many benefits, he really must have been blessed!
While he was thinking about this, Li Yunlong curled his lips and said with one eye wide and the other small:

"What a fucking stab!

This time, our Zhang Wu killed so many high-ranking Japanese soldiers. No one had ever done this before, but he was only given 5000 yuan. Last time, he was given 2 yuan. Damn it!"

"Forget it, 5000 is 5000, it's better than nothing!"

Knowing that he couldn't expect this, Li Yunlong shook his head slightly, then he straightened his face, took the award from Zhao Gang, and read it out loudly:
"In view of the fact that Comrade Zhang Wu has outstandingly completed the task of blocking and breaking through the encirclement of the independent regiment and has made significant contributions, the brigade party committee has decided to promote Comrade Zhang Wu to the deputy regimental level!

In view of the fact that Comrade Zhang Wu outstandingly completed the decapitation mission and inflicted heavy damage on the enemy, the Eighth Route Army Party Committee decided to award Comrade Zhang Wu the title of "Eighth Route Army Combat Hero"!

...Award Comrade Zhang Wu the title of ‘Combat Hero of the 129th Division’!
...Award Comrade Zhang Wu the title of ‘Combat Hero of the 386th Brigade’!
In recognition of the heroic deeds of the brave warrior Zhang Wu...the Second War Zone Commander Headquarters commends him!

...The National Command commended Zhang Wu and awarded him 5000 silver dollars as encouragement!"

After Li Yunlong finished reading, Zhao Gang gave Zhang Wu 5000 silver dollars, and then covered Zhang Wu with red ribbons and a big red flower. This made Zhang Wu, who was filled with joy, become the most handsome guy in the independent regiment amid the envious gazes and warm applause of the soldiers.

The villagers of Zhaojiayu also looked at Zhang Wu with suspicion.

He is a national hero on the radio, and now he is the combat hero of the entire Eighth Route Army and the commander of the independent regiment. With so many honors bestowed upon Zhang Wu, who would not admire and respect Zhang Wu?
In addition, Zhang Wu's appearance was one of the most handsome young men in the area, and the young girls and widows in Zhaojiayu fell in love with him. They boldly approached him and were proud to be able to talk to him.

However, Zhang Wu had no interest in them. It was not because they were ugly, but how could he have a home if the Japanese pirates were not eliminated?
After traveling through time, he never thought about love. If he didn't kill all the Japanese devils, wouldn't he have traveled through time in vain?
But even though he repeatedly stated that he did not consider personal relationships, he could not resist the enthusiasm of the young girls and wives. Even Comrade Xiuqin and the matchmakers from the twenty miles and sixteen villages had trampled the threshold of his dormitory to pieces.

After being watched for half a month, Zhang Wu finally understood why one could join the army at the age of 18 but had to be 22 to get married.

Women are more difficult to deal with than enemies!

Unable to wait for the independent regiment to officially start dividing up and developing, he went straight to Li Yunlong to apply for permission to fight alone.

Li Yunlong had no choice but to divide his troops. Now the independent regiment had only enough weapons and equipment for 800 people. The war horses were gone, the infantry guns and mountain guns were all lost, and there were not many other light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers.

Most importantly, there was a serious shortage of ammunition, and it was difficult to defeat even a small Japanese squadron.

The fastest way to develop is to divide the troops, be self-sufficient and self-developed in peacetime, gather together to fight a big war when there is intelligence, and then do so.

Moreover, Zhaojiayu is located at the border of Heyuan County and Ping'an County, and Chu Yunfei's troops in Dagu Mountain in the southwest are blocking the front of Heyuan County, which just gives the independent regiment ample room for development. Seeing Zhang Wu, Li Yunlong hesitated slightly, then nodded and said:

"Okay, but you can only fight the Japs in Ping'an County!"

The Japanese devils from Ping'an County?
Zhang Wu raised his eyebrows. With the help of Li Yunlong's wisdom, although he had no information, he quickly understood and said:

"Are there any unusual movements by the Japanese in Heyuan County? We have only been here for over a month, and the Japanese still don't know where we are. They are targeting the 358th Regiment!

No wonder you have already formulated a strategy of dividing the troops, but you have not taken any action. Are you using Chu Yunfei's stage to stage a good show of our independent regiment ambushing the Japanese?"

"Hey, you're a fucking genius!"

Hearing Zhang Wu's words, Li Yunlong pointed at Zhang Wu and scolded him with a smile:
"I can guess the general idea from what I said. You have a good strategic vision indeed!
That's right, in retaliation for the 358th Regiment's seizure of Lijia Town, the Japanese in Heyuan County planned to launch a surprise attack on the 15th Regiment 3 days later with a squadron of Japanese and the 358rd Regiment of the th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army.

Now I am not moving, I am just waiting for the Special Operations Department to send the Japs specific targets to attack."

Zhang Wu nodded and took over the conversation:
"Then I have to bring back more equipment this time, otherwise it will be difficult for us to wipe out all these Japs and traitors!"

"That's right. That's why I asked you to act alone at this critical moment!"

Li Yunlong patted Zhang Wu on the shoulder, spread out the map, and began to introduce to Zhang Wu the distribution of the Japanese invaders in Ping'an County within 50 kilometers:

"According to intelligence, the Japanese in Ping'an County are quite strong. In addition to an understaffed brigade in the county seat, there are also many Japanese in other artillery towers.

Walk 20 miles east and pass Jiangjunling to enter Ping'an County.

Another 10 miles to the southeast is the Wan'an Artillery Tower, where there were two squads of Japanese soldiers and a company of puppet troops.

After passing the Wan'an Fortress, walk 15 miles due south to reach the Yumen Fortress, where there is a small group of Japanese soldiers and two companies of puppet troops.

Another 30 miles to the south is the Chengzhuang stronghold, which contained one and a half squadrons of Japanese invaders and two battalions of puppet troops.

After passing Chengzhuang stronghold, 25 miles northeast is Changqin stronghold, where there is a squadron of Japanese soldiers and a battalion of puppet troops.

After looking at Zhang Wu, he continued:

"From the terrain point of view, the two artillery towers are in mountainous areas. Chengzhuang is in a semi-mountainous area, while Changqin is a plain. Where do you want to attack?"

Zhang Wu did not hesitate and said directly:
"Attack the Yumen artillery tower. There are many Japanese soldiers inside. We can also ask the Japanese soldiers in the Chengzhuang stronghold for support. It's a good opportunity to get equipment!"

"Ok!"

Li Yunlong nodded:

"Yumen Fort is at the foot of Yumen Ridge, and there is also depth in the mountains, which is perfect for you to fight guerrilla warfare.

In this case, I will still give you 200 rounds of ammunition and let the Iron Broom 8th Squad push the wheelbarrow with you, but I will only give you 2 days!"

Zhang Wu smiled:
"I understand. The Japanese in Heyuan County are too close to Lijia Town where the 358th Regiment's advance unit is located. If the Japanese leave ahead of time, we will have even less time!"
