The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

Headquarters of the 386th Brigade, Yue County, in the heart of northwestern Shanxi.

"Haha, that kid Li Yunlong succeeded!"

The brigade commander who received the news laughed out loud with joy:
"Go, have the chief of staff send a message to the independent regiment, saying, Li Yunlong, congratulations on your fortune!"

Before the messenger could go find the chief of staff, the chief of staff came in with a telegram and said with a smile:
"No need. Li Yunlong was very sensible this time. He not only sent a detailed battle report, but also said that he would send half of the weapons and equipment of the Narita Brigade to the brigade headquarters in two days!"

After a pause, he looked at the brigade commander, and the smile on his face widened:

"It seems that he has fully understood your meaning of 'acting according to circumstances'!"

"is it?"

The brigade commander raised his eyebrows. He took the message and said firmly before reading it:

"This guy is always so stingy. It's hard to get a bullet from him. He's so generous this time. He must have a condition!"

"Haha, you really understand Li Yunlong. He does have the conditions!"

The chief of staff gave the brigade commander a thumbs up and laughed:
"He wants to apply for the award of 'Division Combat Hero' for Zhang Wu!"

As he spoke, he crossed his arms and analyzed:

"The Narita Regiment was only about the same size as the Tiangang Regiment, and they didn't shoot down any planes or capture any regiment flags. They only sent half of the regiment's weapons and equipment, which was not enough to earn the award of 'Division Combat Hero'.

But in terms of the actual situation of the Independent Regiment, it had nearly 20 heavy machine guns, more than 100 light machine guns, more than 100 grenade launchers, and 8 infantry guns, which was nearly half the number of heavy weapons compared to when it fought the Tiangang Regiment!
Under such circumstances, the independent regiment was able to completely wipe out a small Japanese brigade. One can imagine the role Zhang Wu played in this! "

"Yes!"

After reading the telegram, the brigade commander said with approval:
“Only a strategic-level sharpshooter like Zhang Wu can make up for such a huge gap in weapons and equipment!

Moreover, after just experiencing a large-scale evacuation, the independent regiment suffered heavy casualties, but it was able to completely wipe out a small Japanese regiment in less than 4 months. It can be seen that his strategy of dividing the troops for development is still worth learning from! "

"That's right. We are now the last barrier of Yan'an. The size of our troops must be expanded as quickly as possible!"

The Chief of Staff frowned and said:
"Giving Zhang Wu this year's 'Division Combat Hero' award in advance can also serve as an incentive for other troops!"

"Okay, go draft a telegram, explain the victory report and the details to the division commander, and apply for the award of 'Division Combat Hero' for Zhang Wu!"

The brigade commander immediately made the decision:
"Then send the independent regiment's victory report and the ideas for splitting up and developing to other regiments, so that they can learn from them and develop as quickly as possible according to their own situations!"

The Chief of Staff nodded:

"Okay, I'll send the message right away!"

In Xing County, behind Yue County, the headquarters of the 129th Division was together with the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

After receiving the telegram from the brigade commander, the division commander's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but applaud:
"Haha, the independent regiment has set a good example for my 129th Division this year!"

As he said this, he quickly walked towards the boss and reported the victory:
"Boss, good news! The independent regiment wiped out a 2700-man Japanese brigade at Longmenling in Luyang!

With almost the same number of troops and insufficient heavy weapons and equipment, they still managed to achieve a casualty ratio of 1:1.5. This is truly a great victory!"

Destroy the entire Japanese brigade?!

The boss raised his eyebrows, took the telegram and read it, and couldn't help but curled his lips:

"Haha, Li Yunlong is very decisive in fighting!

I heard about the Japanese raid this time. They organized more than 1 people to target him. Wow, they were able to wipe out a regiment of the Japanese in such a bad situation, and they could achieve a 1:1.5 casualty ratio and successfully evacuate..."

Looking at the teacher, the boss smiled and said:
"This combat capability is also outstanding in your entire 129th Division, right?"

"That's right. Only Li Yunlong can take the head of a Japanese general from among thousands of soldiers!"

The teacher nodded and agreed:
"However, if you want to know why his fighting ability is so strong, it has to be because of Zhang Wu, the heavenly soldier and general, who is protecting him!
Otherwise, no matter how strong the independent regiment's combat effectiveness was, it would be impossible for them to completely wipe out an entire regiment of the Japanese in just one and a half hours when their weapons and equipment were at a disadvantage! "

"Yes!"

The CEO sighed:

"Zhang Wu is an incredible soldier. I heard that he arranged several tactics of the independent regiment. Who knows, if we split up our forces in the future, this guy may be another Li Yunlong who can handle things on his own!
I think you should give him the award of "Division Combat Hero" of the 129th Division this year. It can also serve as a benchmark for other troops!"

"You think more and more highly of Zhang Wu, and you even gave him instructions personally!"

The division commander smiled and said this before going down to send the message. In order to encourage Zhang Wu, he even included the general's personal instructions.

Before the division headquarters' telegram was sent to the independent regiment, the regiments of the 386th Brigade had already received the telegram from the brigade commander.

Southwest of Heyuan County, the headquarters of the New Second Regiment.

When Kong Jie saw the brigade commander's telegram, his eyes widened into bells in shock.

After a while, he reacted and said in disbelief:
"Oh my God, his independent group is developing too fast, isn't it?
I'm also dividing my troops for development. There are only 2000 of them, and heavy weapons are in short supply. We can't even defeat an ordinary battalion. How could he wipe out the entire Japanese regiment?
How did he close the gap in heavy weapons with the Japanese regiment... Zhang Wu! "

Thinking of Zhang Wu, he suddenly understood:
"Zhang Wu is awesome! No wonder his independent regiment is developing so fast! I have a soldier as capable as Zhang Wu, so I can fight such an exciting battle now!"

772nd Regiment Headquarters. Blind Cheng looked at the telegram and complained with jealousy:
"What a piece of shit luck! It was Zhang Wu who helped Li Da Nao to destroy the Japanese heavy weapons. Otherwise, with such heavy losses in the evacuation, how could the independent regiment have been able to destroy the Japanese regiment in just over three months?

Split up the troops and develop? My 772nd Regiment can give it a try!

It's a pity that I don't have soldiers as good as Zhang Wu. Otherwise, even if we don't divide the soldiers, my 772nd Regiment can also develop rapidly! "

Northwest of Heyuan County, the headquarters of the New 1st Regiment.

Ding Wei looked at the telegram from the brigade commander and showed an expression of envy towards Li Yunlong:
"Li Yunlong must have done good deeds in his previous life, otherwise how could he meet such a good soldier like Zhang Wu?

With Zhang Wu backing him up, Li Yunlong can't wipe out an entire regiment of the Japanese devils! "

Ding Wei looked at the Chief of Staff.
"Look, that kid Li Yunlong has the weapons and equipment of a regiment, plus Zhang Wu, he must be even bolder, who knows, in two months, he might dare to attack the Japanese brigade!
It’s not like he hasn’t done this before, he even wiped out the Japanese’s main field force, the Fourth Brigade!”

The Chief of Staff nodded and said with emotion:

"Yes, the sharpshooter Zhang Wu is indeed amazing!"

At the same time, in Dagushan, the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army also received the news.

Chief of Staff Fang Ligong reported to Chu Yunfei with a lingering shock:

"Commander, the latest news is that the independent regiment is at Longmen Ridge in Luyang and has completely wiped out the Chengtian Brigade stationed in Luyang!

Although the Narita Regiment was a garrison regiment, it also had 2700 people, with the same number of light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers as the field regiment, and the regiment's infantry artillery company was also strengthened!
In other words, the Narita Regiment had a total of 12 infantry guns!

The independent regiment ambushed the Narita Regiment in such a way that it was completely wiped out in less than an hour and a half before the three Japanese reinforcements arrived...

It’s incredible!”

"Yes, the Narita Regiment is 2700 pigs. It will take the Independent Regiment more than an hour and a half to catch them!"

Chu Yunfei echoed in shock, and in an instant he raised the corners of his mouth, revealing an expression of admiration for Zhang Wu and said:

"But it's not hard to understand. With the God Spear Zhang Wu here, no matter how incredible it is, he can create it for you, making you sigh, God Spear Zhang Wu is a god!"

He pulled his white gloves, put his hands behind his back, and continued:

"I heard that even the Eighth Route Army's chief praised him as a heavenly soldier and general more than once!"

"With such unparalleled strength, he must be a heavenly soldier or general!"

Fang Ligong said with admiration:

"Even our Chief Yan, and even the Chairman, have praised him many times!"

"Heroes like these can only be friends, not enemies! Our defense zone is right next to the independent regiment, and the closest place is only a dozen kilometers away. If there is any change..."

Chu Yunfei said, his pupils shrank sharply, and he gave the order without hesitation:

"Pass on my order. No one is allowed to conflict with the Independent Group. Anyone who violates the order will be severely punished!"

Fang Ligong stood at attention and saluted in agreement:
"Yes, Commander, I'll pass the message right away!"

From then on, with the deterrence of Zhang Wu, the 358th Regiment no longer dared to make small moves against the Independent Regiment as in the original plot.

On the other side, the Japanese First Army Headquarters.

"Baga, the independent regiment, the sharpshooter Zhang Wu, is dead!"

The first thing a new official did after taking office was to organize such a large-scale operation, but in the end, even the Independent Regiment and Zhang Wu didn't get any benefit from it, and an entire regiment was lost. Lieutenant General Terauchi, who had just been scolded by the Commander-in-Chief of North China, felt unprecedented humiliation.

He was so angry that he pulled out his general's sword and started hacking and slashing in the office, smashing the vases, tea sets, tables and chairs that had just been replaced for the second time into pieces.

After he had almost let out all the anger, he had someone replace the weapon with a new one. He wanted to call his chief of staff over to formulate a new strategy, but he heard Yamamoto Ikki's voice outside the door.

He called Yamamoto Ikki into the office without knowing why. Just as he was about to ask, Yamamoto Ikki stood at attention and lowered his head and said:

"General, because of my strategic problems, I have caused great losses to the empire. Please punish me!"

No wonder Yoshio Shinozuka is so fond of Yamamoto Ikki!
After hearing this, Lieutenant General Terauchi suddenly realized, who wouldn't like capable subordinates who are willing to take the blame when problems arise?
"Yamamoto-kun, this is not your problem!"

Lieutenant General Terauchi had already intended to make Yamamoto Ikki his confidant. He said in a friendly manner:

"It's really that the Independent Regiment and the sharpshooter Zhang Wu are too cunning!"

After a pause, he asked:
"Since you've discovered that there's something wrong with your strategy, Yamamoto-kun, do you have any good solutions?"

"Hai, General!"

Yamamoto Ikki secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He lowered his head again and then said:

"This is what I think..." (End of this chapter)
