The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

"So fast?!"

Upon hearing the news that Zhang Wu had returned, Li Yunlong slapped his thigh excitedly and turned to Zhao Gang and said:
"Haha, it looks like Zhang Wu finished the job last night. Let's go take a look!"

"it is good!"

Zhao Gang nodded and said expectantly:

"I just don't know what their casualties are! Lao Li, do you think it's really possible to achieve zero casualties as Zhang Wu said?"

"How the hell should I know?"

Li Yunlong was not sure about this new tactic. He raised his eyebrows and urged:

"If you want to know, hurry up. You'll know once you meet Zhang Wu!"

Zhao Gang nodded again, and quickly left the regiment headquarters with Li Yunlong and headed straight for the village entrance.

When they found Zhang Wu, the remaining artillery battalion, cavalry company, grenade launcher battalion, two guard platoons and other special agents in training also rushed over after hearing the news.

Seeing that none of Zhang Wu's 13 men were injured, Li Yunlong's eyes lit up and he asked impatiently:
"Zhang Wu, how's it going?"

The training had been successful, and the first battle had been won. Now there was no need to keep it secret. Zhang Wu smiled, stood at attention, and formally reported:
"Report to the regiment commander. Yesterday we successfully infiltrated the Xiaocaozhuang stronghold, disarmed the Japanese guards, and allowed the 0th Company of the nd Battalion to enter the stronghold. We wiped out an entire squadron of Japanese soldiers, including the th Company of the nd Battalion, with zero casualties!"

Did it really reach 0 casualties?!
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at each other and saw expressions of surprise on each other's faces.

Back then, when Li Yunlong was fighting a squadron supporting Panshui Town, he needed to gather the entire New 0st Regiment. Now, he only needs a company plus a special forces team, and there are no casualties...

Isn’t the special forces team trained by Zhang Wu too strong?
After reacting, Li Yunlong stepped forward and gave Zhang Wu a big hug, patted Zhang Wu on the back, and laughed:
"Haha, you are awesome, the special forces will be very useful to our independent regiment in the future!"

Zhao Gang also gave Zhang Wu a thumbs up and said with a smile:

"That's right. We can also treat them in their own way, just like the Japanese special forces. Zhang Wu, you have added another magic weapon to our independent regiment!"

Others also praised in amazement:
"Wow, this is the result of Zhang Wu and his team's secret training. Isn't it too strong?"

"Yes, attacking a squadron of Japanese soldiers defending a stronghold and completely destroying them with zero casualties is something that only a god can do!"

At this time, the people from the Sixth Company delivered the battle report. Li Yunlong looked at the spoils and felt that that was all!
The shock of no casualties is so great!
To him, other weapons and equipment are secondary. Zhang Wu, and now the special forces team, are his greatest treasures!

When people had praised enough, Li Yunlong asked them to disperse, asked Wei Dayong and others to go downstairs to rest, and took Zhang Wu to the regiment headquarters.

Without waiting to sit down, he asked again impatiently:
"Tell me how you fought this battle!"

Zhang Wu did not hesitate and revealed the details of the operation:
"We first used the intelligence from the Special Operations Department to impersonate the Japanese special forces and successfully infiltrate the Xiaocaozhuang stronghold..."

After saying this, he frowned slightly and finally said:
“Captain, to be honest, we won this battle by luck.

If the Japanese hadn't just lost three blockhouses and didn't dare to verify their identities, and their captain was timid and wanted to be transferred back to the county, there really wouldn't be many Japanese in the base. Otherwise, with only 3 people, they had to take care of the patrol team, blockhouses, gates, fortifications, dormitories, and ammunition depots. There were too many places for accidents to happen!"

This is an attempt to change tactics!
He understood Zhang Wu's meaning in a second. However, Zhang Wu could still have such a clear understanding after the great victory. Li Yunlong could not help but nod with satisfaction and looked Zhang Wu up and down, saying:
"Not bad. You still remember your last name after winning the battle and you consider things so comprehensively. You are now a qualified commander!"

As he said this, he took out the map, pointed to Black Stone Town on it and introduced it:
"With the help of the Special Operations Department, the intelligence from Black Stone Town in Feng County has been delivered.

The cavalry squadron was located in a valley of Heishi Ridge, 3 kilometers southeast of Heishi Town. In addition to a squadron of cavalry, there was also a squadron of infantry guards.

3公里外的黑石镇驻守着2个小队跟1个营的伪军，再向正北走15公里是枫县县城，里面驻守着3个中队。

Once the gun is fired, Heishi Town can provide support within half an hour, and the county town can provide support within 2 hours.

Since infiltration is too risky, how do you want to fight?"

"I think it would be best if we launched a night attack with a large force to attract the attention of the Japanese!"

Zhang Wu had already thought of the tactics, and based on the specific situation of the Black Stone Ridge Valley, he said:
"Xizi and I first attacked the Japanese searchlights from a distance, and then attacked their heavy firepower. The other 35 special agents rappelled directly from the mountain into the valley and launched an attack from within the Japanese. We coordinated from inside and outside!
It's done, 10 minutes is enough to resolve the battle!"

"Well, let's do it!"

Li Yunlong approved of the tactics, but the term "rappel" aroused his curiosity:

"Rappelling means tying a rope to it and letting it go down?"

"That's right!"

Zhang Wu nodded:
"But it's not just as simple as just rappelling down. They also have the ability to accurately attack targets 100 meters away during the rappelling process!"

"Aren't these the heavenly soldiers and generals?"

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up and he praised loudly:
"Haha, okay, great!"

Seeing Li Yunlong happy, Zhang Wu took the opportunity to say:
"In terms of weapons and equipment, Commander, you have to support us! In addition to a Mauser pistol, each of the other 24 men must also have a light machine gun!"

"Twenty-four light machine guns?"

Li Yunlong thought about it, and then waved his hand:
"No problem. I didn't let them take the heavy weapons seized from Caoshanliang when I divided the troops. There are exactly 24 light machine guns. The 9 Type rifles from other companies will be replaced with Czech-style rifles. There are also enough mirrored boxes. You can take the people to pick them later!" He paused and continued:

“I will personally command this battle. Otherwise, you will have to attack and coordinate with the troops in front, and you will be too busy to handle it.

When the time comes, transfer the 6th Company of the 2nd Battalion back to the regiment headquarters, and transport the two cannons back at the same time so that Shuisheng and the others can get familiar with them. It will be bad if their artillerymen are unfamiliar with the guns in future battles.

Add two guard platoons and a grenade launcher battalion, and we have enough troops for a frontal attack!"

Then he looked at Zhang Wu:
"If you have any other requests, feel free to ask. I'll just consider it as a reward for your good training!"

Zhang Wu had already thought about it, and he said directly:
"After defeating the cavalry squadron, I want to lead the special forces to ambush the Japanese reinforcements. If we can seize more weapons and equipment, it will help our regiment recover as soon as possible and fight a big battle!"

"That's fine, but you have to bring double the amount of bullets with you in advance, and you can't leave Black Rock Ridge!"

Li Yunlong hesitated for a moment and then agreed. He said:
"Once you leave Black Stone Ridge, you will find the plains. It's too dangerous. It's not easy for you to form an army. You can't make any mistakes. You must come back alive!"

Feeling Li Yunlong's deep concern, Zhang Wu felt warm in his heart. He patted his chest and assured:
"Don't worry, Captain. I will definitely bring the special forces team back safely!"

"Ok!"

Patting Zhang Wu on the shoulder, Li Yunlong said:

"Go down and prepare. When the Sixth Company arrives and the Czech-style weapons are replaced, we will set out. I will give you two days' worth of dry food, but no more.

The Special Operations Department's intelligence shows that the Japanese haven't found us for three months and are planning a large-scale mopping-up operation. We must prepare in advance."

"Yes!"

Zhang Wu stood at attention and saluted, said goodbye to Li Yunlong, and left the regiment headquarters to prepare.

He first went to the back mountain to check that the other 24 people were not slacking off, and then he announced the mission and led people to collect equipment, including 6 machine gun magazines, 6 Mauser pistol magazines, and 6 grenades per person.

He also received 400 rounds of ammunition and gave the old Karl 98K to Wang Xikui.

By the time the 9th Company of the 5nd Battalion arrived at Zhaojiayu with their weapons and equipment, the Czech-style guns that were exchanged had also returned. It was already days later, and Zhang Wu and his men had also come over for repairs and made all preparations.

Li Yunlong decided to take action tonight. He called Company Commander Huang, Zhang Wu and the grenade launcher battalion commander to make the final coordination.

Spreading out the map and taking a look at the three people, Li Yunlong said:
“This valley is shaped like a vertical gourd, and the horse farm is on the east side. When we officially start the attack, we should try to avoid the east side.

6th Company, wait for my attack signal and start attacking from the front.

Zhang Wu, you take the special forces team to the mountain first. Wait for 6 minutes after the 2th Company launches the attack. After attracting all the Japanese's attention, launch a rappelling attack from both sides.

The Japs may use flares, so you must rappel quickly!
When I blow the charge, you, the special forces team, will suppress the blockhouses and the village walls. When you hear the sound of the gate being blasted open, you can throw grenades and charge.

Don’t wear the Japanese’s clothes, so as to avoid accidental injuries!
The grenade launcher battalion provided artillery support as ordered."

"Yes!"

Zhang Wu and the other two all stood at attention and puffed out their chests to receive the order.

"Ok!"

Li Yunlong nodded, and finally looked at Zhang Wu:
"Zhang Wu, you should attack the Japanese commander and heavy firepower. The grenade launcher battalion cannot extend its artillery fire, so the cover for the special forces team depends on you!"

Zhang Wu smiled confidently:
"Don't worry, Captain, I will complete the mission!"

"Ok!"

Li Yunlong patted Zhang Wu on the shoulder:

"I have the utmost confidence in you! We will be leaving soon. Take your special agents with you to get two days' worth of dry food and water. I have asked the kitchen to prepare them for you.

I have also transferred back the Iron Broom Team 8 for you, and when the time comes, just let them clean up the battlefield!"

Seeing that Li Yunlong had thought everything through for him, Zhang Wu nodded gratefully:

"Thank you, leader!"

So, after Zhang Wu and his men received dry food and water, at night, Li Yunlong made a simple pre-war mobilization and set off with everyone under the cover of darkness.

There was no conversation on the way. They marched 60 kilometers quickly and arrived at Heishi Ridge, the valley where the cavalry squadron was located.

While Li Yunlong was ordering the Sixth Company, the Guard Platoon, and the Grenade Launcher Battalion to build a frontal attack position, Zhang Wu also led the special agents to climb up Heishi Ridge, find the attack position mentioned by Li Yunlong, and arrange for them to prepare for rappelling.

Then he took Wang Xikui to find a position that could radiate to the front wall of the village and the blockhouse as a sniper point. He also marked the positions of the Japanese heavy firepower points and the commander, and waited for Li Yunlong's attack signal.
