The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

The war is finally here!

When Zhang Wu received the news to go to the regiment headquarters for a meeting, he understood it immediately. He asked the special forces team to continue training while he went straight to the regiment headquarters.

When he saw Li Yunlong assembling the entire regiment, he knew that a big battle was about to take place, otherwise he would not have waited so long and not applied to fight alone.

He arrived at the regiment headquarters, and other battalion and company commanders also arrived one after another. After everyone was present, Li Yunlong asked Zhao Gang to read out the specific plan of the Japanese's sweep and the deployment of various groups of Japanese.

Listening to what Zhao Gang said, Zhang Wu couldn't help but be secretly shocked. The Japanese really thought highly of them and actually organized more than 1 people to carry out a sweep against them.

Especially the four Japanese troops. Although they were all garrison regiments and the number of infantry was reduced, they still had 4-2500 people.

The heavy weapons are no less than that of the field regiment. In addition to the standard 36 heavy machine guns, 108 light machine guns, 72 grenade launchers, and 6 infantry guns, there are also mountain artillery squadrons (4 guns) or infantry artillery reinforced squadrons (6 guns) belonging to the regiment!

"See? This time the Japs not only want to find us, they also want to eat us up!"

While he was thinking about this, Li Yunlong spread out the map, glanced at everyone, and said:
"Come and see how we should fight this battle!"

After a pause, he reminded:

"This time we are dealing with the entire raid by the Japanese alone. There are also Japanese special forces lurking during this period. This battle is not over after it is fought. You have to take the overall situation and the Japanese's purpose into consideration!"

"Yes!"

Everyone agreed, gathered in front of the map, and began to do map work on the four Japanese attack routes.

Looking at the map they had done, Zhang Wu quickly selected four ambush points, but after considering the overall situation and the Japanese's purpose, he shook his head slightly and gave up on everything.

Fighting is easy, but how to make the Japanese unable to figure out your whereabouts requires careful consideration!

After careful thinking and comparison, he found the most suitable point, and then radiated to the overall situation. The entire anti-mopping-up plan took shape in his mind.

At this time, the other battalion commanders also had their own ideas. They started a heated discussion. When the discussion was almost over, Li Yunlong asked:
"Well, who's going to speak first? How do we fight this battle?"

"I'll say it first!"

Shen Quan finally got the upper hand over Zhang Dabiao and spoke first:

"No matter which way the Japs come, we just have to go one way. With our military strength, we will have no problem defeating them all the way!"

As he spoke, he pointed to Yuanmen Ridge in Feng County and expressed his thoughts:
"I think we should ambush the Daejeon Regiment in the Fu'an direction, and the ambush point can be at Yuanmenling!
The Daejeon Regiment was the former Sanshan Regiment. Our Zhang Wu took over half of the regiment headquarters and killed 15 mountain artillerymen. Although it has been fully replenished, the running-in and coordination must not be smooth in such a short time.

Plus, he has three battalions of 3 men, with a total force of only 700 men, so it's easy to fight!

Yuanmenling is the only way for him to sweep the area, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack, which is suitable for our 2800 people to launch an ambush. After the battle, we can also retreat into the mountains, leaving the Japanese with no way to catch us! "

"No, no, the Japanese all have radios. Once a fight breaks out, they will definitely ask for help. Yuanmenling is on the edge of the Japanese's sweep, and we may be surrounded by more Japanese!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the third battalion commander retorted:

"I think we should ambush the Saki Corps in the direction of Shuiquan, and the ambush point should be set at a small temple 15 miles away on the road they must pass!
Although the terrain of the 15-li Xiaomiao Temple is a little worse, we can deploy 2800 people, which is just enough to catch the Japanese off guard. The Saki Regiment is also 2500 people strong. With the strength of our regiment, it is not difficult to take it down.

After the fight, you can also go to Guanyunling..."

"No, no, the terrain of the 15-li small temple is too bad. There is a large plain in front. It's okay to block them, but you can't surround them if you set an ambush. The Japanese can easily withdraw!"

Zhang Dabiao retorted before he could finish:

"With such detailed intelligence, how could our regiment just fight a blocking battle? We must definitely wipe out all the Japanese enemies along the way!
I think it would be better to ambush the Yoshino Regiment in the direction of Taiyuan, with the ambush point at Heyanggou.

Although the Yoshino Regiment is composed of three battalions of 3 people, with a total size of 800 people, the hills next to Heyanggou have steep terrain and are easy to defend but difficult to attack. This is enough for our entire regiment to deploy and completely destroy the Yoshino Regiment.

Moreover, Heyanggou is only 358 kilometers away from Chu Yunfei's 30th Regiment's position. Last time we helped him break the siege of Lijia Town, so this time we can borrow his territory and leave through Dagushan!"

His proposal was also opposed by people:

"Forget it. It's just a small favor. We are not our fraternal troops. Why should they stop thousands of Japanese soldiers for you?
I think we should attack the Chengtian Regiment in the direction of Luyang, and the ambush point should be set at Huang Le Pu.

The Narita Regiment has 2700 men and an infantry artillery reinforcement squadron..."

People started arguing fiercely, but no one had any other ideas. Li Yunlong's face became more and more ugly. People had made some progress, but they still had the conventional ambush thinking. It was too idealistic and they couldn't look at the overall situation and take one step and look three steps ahead!
"Alright, shut the fuck up!"

Seeing that Zhang Wu hadn't spoken yet, Li Yunlong stopped everyone loudly and said to Zhang Wu expectantly:
"Zhang Wu, your strategic vision is sometimes better than mine. Tell me what you think!"

"Yes!" Zhang Wu finally said:
“You guys’ idea is not wrong, it’s just that it’s not comprehensive enough!

The regiment commander said that the Japs' goal this time is to find us, not just to mop up the enemy, so when choosing a location, our focus should be on how to prevent the Japs from finding us after the fight, so the ambush point should be placed in a location that leads to all directions!"

As he spoke, he pointed to Longmen Ridge in Luyang, near Ping'an County on the map:
"I think we can ambush the Japanese in Luyang, but the ambush point should be at Longmen Ridge.

Longmen Ridge runs east-west, with a total length of 5 kilometers. It is the only way for the Japanese devils in Luyang.

The terrain here is gently sloping with sparse grass, and the mountains on both sides are only 150 meters away from the road below, so the road is indeed not as well paved as Huang Le's.

But there is a mountain stream 300 meters behind it where troops can be hidden, and the connected Longmen Mountain range is well connected, so one can go to Ping'an County, go deep into Luyang, and go forward to Feng County and go down to Shuiquan. Even if one retreats, one can return to Heyuan County.

The Japanese will definitely ask for help after being ambushed. This place is not close to other Japanese raiders. As long as we completely wipe out the Narita Regiment before the Japanese support arrives, even if the Japanese find the ambush point, they won't be able to guess the direction we left!"

After a pause, he continued:

“Moreover, if we attract all the Japanese soldiers over there, the brigade commander can arrange for the county battalions and district squads in other places to seize the opportunity to capture the artillery towers in their respective areas.

This way, we can not only get more benefits for our people and connect the small bases into one, but also set the Japanese backyard on fire, end the mopping-up operation as soon as possible, and we can go back to develop as soon as possible! "

It has to be Zhang Wu!

Li Yunlong couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Zhang Wu not only focused on this battle, but also looked at the overall situation. It was worth it that I promoted him to the deputy regimental level!
Thinking of this, he praised loudly:
"Haha, did you see that? This is how you use your brain when fighting a war!"

People also looked at Zhang Wu in amazement, gave him a thumbs up, and praised:
"Zhang Wu, you really think things through!"

"Yes, you even thought of the entire region. No wonder our leader repeatedly said that you have a strategic vision!"

"That's right. If our Zhang Wu doesn't get promoted to deputy regiment commander, who will? With his vision, he will have no problem commanding a regiment alone!"

"of course?"

Li Yunlong looked proud of Zhang Wu, but when he glanced at everyone, he looked disappointed and said with a pout:
"Look at you guys again... Humph, learn something. Don't just follow the routine and consider things based on past experience. Be brave enough to break the routine and jump out of those rules and regulations based on the actual situation!"

"Yes!"

People showed an expression of knowing shame and then being brave, and nodded solemnly with a solemn oath.

"As the saying goes, the master can only lead you to the door, but the practice is up to you. I won't say anything else. You can figure it out on your own!"

Seeing their expressions, Li Yunlong hummed with satisfaction and began to give formal orders:

"Now I order the entire regiment to ambush the Chengtian Regiment at Longmenling. The first battalion will cut off the head on the east side of Longmenling, the second battalion will cut off the tail on the west side, and the remaining three battalions will be in the middle, ready to support both sides at any time.

Watch my signal flare, and the whole regiment will open fire!"

The company commanders of the five main battalions immediately stood at attention and said:
"Yes!"

Li Yunlong then looked at the battalion commander of the grenade launcher battalion and Liang Shuisheng of the artillery battalion:
"It's been such a long time since we touched the cannons. Have your artillerymen's hands become numb? This battle is of a large scale and requires continuous support from the artillery. How long will it take you to make temporary adjustments?"

The commander of the grenade launcher battalion said directly:
"Don't worry, Commander. The reorganized grenade launcher battalion and mortar company are all veterans. One minute is enough for the temporary adjustment!"

Liang Shuisheng also patted his chest and assured:
"Yes, Commander, my artillerymen are not new at all. After this period of reorganization and training, not to mention firing a single gun or a salvo, even the coordination of infantry and artillery can be adjusted within 2 minutes!"

"Well done!"

Hearing their words, Li Yunlong couldn't help but praise them. The shorter the artillery adjustment time, the more beneficial it would be to the independent regiment!
Thinking of this, he directly ordered:
"The grenade launcher battalion should be divided into groups of three, with companies as units, to provide close-range artillery support to the main battalion!"

The battalion commander of the grenade launcher stood at attention and said:

"Yes!"

Li Yunlong looked at Liang Shuisheng again:
"Shuisheng, it's better to place your artillery battery 2 kilometers away to provide long-range artillery support.

I only have four long-range cannons, so there can't be any mistakes. I'll have messengers along the way, and you can adjust according to orders at any time!"

Liang Shuisheng stood at attention and puffed out his chest:
"Yes!"

Li Yunlong finally looked at Zhang Wu...
