The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

After completely killing the Japanese, Li Yunlong and Wei Dayong quickly packed a few roast chickens and a few bottles of Fenjiu, then rushed out with their guns held upside down.

Zhang Wu fell behind and picked up the camera in the corner before he caught up with Li Yunlong and the others.

When the reporter interviewed Zhang Wu last time, Li Yunlong knew that this was a camera. He asked in confusion:
"Why are you carrying this thing? You can't eat it, and it can't kill the Japanese!"

As he said this, his eyes rolled and he said with a look of sudden realization:

"Do you want to wait until we capture the Japanese's iron tortoise, take a photo and send it to the brigade commander to boost our morale and strike a blow to the Japanese?"

As expected of Li Yunlong, he can think of anything to boost morale!
Zhang Wu sighed in his heart. He had been with Li Yunlong for a long time and had learned a thing or two from him. He agreed without blushing or panting:

"Yes, that's one aspect, but more importantly, when we were going to Juxian Tower, I saw the Japanese took you in!

The Japanese hate our independent regiment deeply, and have recently targeted us several times. We can't let the Japanese know what we look like, otherwise it will be dangerous!"

"Yes, that's the truth!"

Li Yunlong patted Zhang Wu on the shoulder and scolded with a smile:

"You are really observant, you are a sharpshooter, you have good eyesight! Unlike me, I was so focused on fooling the Japanese that I didn't notice it at all!"

When they got to the dark alley outside, Chu Yunfei and Sun Ming were already waiting. Chu Yunfei clasped his hands and said to Li Yunlong:
"Brother Yunlong, thank you for your great help this time. You and I will go back and prepare. Once we have a specific action plan for the Japanese devils, I will inform you as soon as possible.

At that time, you and I will enter Xiechaling 5 days in advance. You fight in the rear and I fight in the front. We will eat up the Japanese and 5% of the spoils will belong to Brother Yunlong!"

"Haha, no problem, let's do as Brother Chu says!"

Not hearing anything different from the plan, Li Yunlong imitated him and cupped his hands and said:

"See you at Xiechaling!"

"Goodbye!"

Chu Yunfei bowed again and disappeared into the dark alley with Sun Ming.

Zhang Wu and Li Yunlong followed the established retreat route, left the county town and returned to Zhaojiayu with the help of the Special Operations Group.

After celebrating with Zhao Gang by drinking Fenjiu and eating roast chicken, they went back to rest.

The next day, while continuing to recruit soldiers, the independent regiment took out all its weapons and equipment and began to reorganize into a scale of 3500 people.

After three days of reorganization, the independent regiment was now expanded to seven battalions of 7 people. The first three main battalions had five heavy machine guns each, and the first battalion was strengthened to six, totaling 400 light machine guns.

The last four ordinary battalions each had four heavy machine guns and 4 light machine guns.

Two Italian guns and ten Type 2 infantry guns were mixed into an artillery battalion to provide long-range artillery support.

75 grenade launchers and 20 mortars were formed into two grenade launcher battalions and a mortar reinforcement company to provide close-range artillery support.

Together with the cavalry company, direct-affiliated company, engineering company, special service company, guard company and reconnaissance company, it can be said to be a strong and powerful force.

After the reorganization was completed, the independent regiment intensified the coordination training between the battalions, companies and arms, so as to achieve the maximum combat effectiveness in the event of an ambush.

Within two days of the training, the intelligence from the Special Operations Group and Chu Yunfei arrived at Zhaojiayu in no particular order. The content was the same: 5600 people from Heyuan County officially launched an attack on Chu Yunfei's troops in Dagushan 10 days later.

There will also be a mixed squadron of fighters and bombers to cooperate with ground bombing.

"Damn it, the information is finally here!"

After reading the information Zhao Gang handed over, Li Yunlong slapped his thigh excitedly and immediately said to the messenger:

"Go, notify all the company-level and above cadres in the regiment to hold a meeting. It's time for us to make a fortune!"

"Yes!"

The messenger immediately went down to deliver the message.

The war is coming!

After receiving the notice, Zhang Wu's eyes lit up and he immediately rushed to the regiment headquarters.

When he arrived at the regiment headquarters, he greeted Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, and then waited for other company-level cadres and above to arrive. After Zhao Gang told him the intelligence and the specific troop deployment of the Japanese, Li Yunlong spread out the map, glanced at everyone and said:

"What's that called? Yes, the lips and teeth are interdependent. Chu Yunfei is our flank. We can't let the Japanese kill him and concentrate all their energy on us!

This time we have to help Chu Yunfei and kill the Japanese together with him at Xiechaling. Do you have the confidence?"

"Have!"

Everyone spoke in unison and began to work on the map from the county to Dagu Mountain. After finishing, they asked in confusion:

"Captain, Xiechaling isn't the best ambush location, right?"

"Yes, although Xiechaling is suitable for large-scale military deployment, the terrain is not steep enough. The Japanese can drive their iron tortoises up there, and they also have airplanes. If we fight there, our casualties will be huge!"

"That's right. If we go another 5 miles to Dagu Mountain and reach Shihuling, the terrain there is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. We can also deploy 2 people from our two families..."

"How could I not know?"

Li Yunlong interrupted him with a wave of his hand before he could finish:

"That place is good, but the Japanese will pay more attention to it. The forward observation post has said more than once that the Japanese planes went there for reconnaissance. If there is any movement, we have to turn the ambush into a blocking attack, which will result in greater casualties!"

As he said this, he glanced at Zhang Wu:
"Besides, Zhang Wu can figure out the Iron Turtle. When we seize the treasure, it will be convenient for us to drive it back. If the Japanese invaders raid in the future, as long as they are not far away, we can drive the tanks to ambush them!"

An ambush in a tank?!

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they looked at Zhang Wu eagerly, saying expectantly:
"Zhang Wu, can you really drive the little Japanese iron turtle back?"

"Yeah, that thing is fast, hard to aim with a cannon, hard to penetrate with a gun, and has strong firepower. It's like a mobile bunker and turret!"

"That's right. If we have the Iron Turtle, it will be much easier to set up ambushes in the future!"

Seeing their inquiring and expectant eyes, Zhang Wu smiled confidently:
"As long as the Japs' iron tortoise isn't too badly damaged, there shouldn't be a big problem!" "Well, that's what I'm going to say next!"

Li Yunlong found Liang Shuisheng and his artillerymen in the crowd:

"After the fight begins, you must be careful, especially Shuisheng and your artillery. Aim carefully and don't damage my iron turtle!"

"Your iron cuckold?"

Zhang Dabiao laughed and said:

"Captain, it's too early for you to say that. The Iron Turtle is still in the hands of the Japanese!"

Li Yunlong glared:

"Damn it, if I like it, it's mine! The Japs are just preserving it for us. If he doesn't preserve it well, I won't be happy!"

"Ha ha!"

Hearing this, everyone laughed.

Zhang Wu couldn't help laughing. Li Yunlong can always make you relax in the tense atmosphere of an impending battle.

Li Yunlong also had this purpose. He waited until everyone had laughed enough before he said:

"Okay, enough of the nonsense, let's officially assign specific combat tasks now!
We must hurry up and assign combat tasks. Before the ambush, we should conduct several rounds of firepower coordination and foot-running coordination training within the battalion and company!"

"Yes!"

Everyone stopped smiling, stood at attention, and looked serious.

Li Yunlong first looked at the battalion and company commanders of the infantry battalion:

"This time we are going to attack the rear of the Japanese. The Japanese Cross-Country Team... now called the Dongchuan Team, more than half of the second battalion has begun the attack.

The second and fourth battalions are at the front, the first battalion and the fifth battalion are at the rear, and the third, sixth, and seventh battalions are in the middle, ready to provide support to both ends at any time.

Attack the Japanese infantry first, and try to take away hundreds of their lives in one wave!"

"Yes!"

All the battalion and company commanders of the infantry battalions stood at attention and puffed out their chests.

Li Yunlong then looked at the battalion commander of the grenade launcher battalion:

"You should still form groups of three guns and companies as units, and deploy behind each infantry battalion to provide close-range fire support.

This time, nearly 40 grenade launchers and mortars have been newly added. How long will it take to make the temporary adjustments? "

A battalion commander patted his chest and assured as a representative:
"Don't worry, Commander. All the soldiers who are being reorganized are veterans. We don't have enough grenade launchers and mortars to go around!
It only takes 1 minute to make a temporary adjustment. We can definitely deliver whatever you want!"

"Ok!"

Li Yunlong gave him an approving look, then looked at Liang Shuisheng.

Without him asking, Liang Shuisheng said directly:
“Commander, our situation is similar to that of the Grenade Launcher Battalion. Now half of the battalion’s artillery can only train apprentices!
The temporary adjustment time of 2 Italian guns is 3 minutes, and 10 infantry guns is 2 minutes. Single shot or salvo fire is absolutely no problem! "

"That's right!"

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up, he nodded and said:
"We can't sit idle. We should take more apprentices if we have nothing to do! We will be able to seize cannons sooner or later. When we have too many cannons, we won't be able to cram at the last minute!
The terrain does not allow this time, so place your artillery battalion 1 km away, and first calibrate the artillery parameters. When Zhang Wu goes to fight the Japanese Iron Turtle, follow my orders and help him suppress the Japanese's 6 mountain artillery pieces!"

Liang Shuisheng stood at attention and said:

"Yes!"

Li Yunlong finally looked at Zhang Wu:
"Zhang Wu, our regiment has recovered a lot of its heavy weapons, but we are still powerless against the Japanese planes and tanks. We have to rely on you!
Let the special forces provide fire support. I'll give you 200 bullets. Attack the Japanese headquarters and tanks first.

If a plane dives, shoot it down. I will select two light machine guns from each infantry battalion to form a trap and drive the Japanese planes towards you!

Then I'll crush his six mountain cannons. They can explode a large area, and we can't let those six cannons increase the casualties of our regiment!
I'll have each battalion prepare 200 rounds of ammunition for you. If it's not enough, ask them for more!"

The commanders of all the infantry battalions immediately said:

"Don't worry, Commander. We have prepared all the bullets for Zhang Wu!"

"Yes, to reduce the casualties of the entire regiment, we have to rely on Zhang Wu!"

"My 2nd Battalion will give us 300 rounds of Zhang Wubei!"

Listening to people's assurances, Zhang Wu stood up straight and said:
"Don't worry, Commander. I will never let the devils act arrogantly in front of us. I will ensure that the mission is accomplished!"

"Well done, I trust you the most!"

Li Yunlong patted Zhang Wu on the shoulder, glanced at everyone and said:
"Everyone, go down and get ready. The whole group will officially set off in the evening of 5 days later!"

"Yes!"

Everyone stood at attention and left the regiment headquarters.

Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang again:

"Old Zhao, in addition to the recruitment points in other counties, stop at the one in Heyuan County first. In the next few days, you can take the soldiers of your direct company to help us with logistics and the people of Zhaojiayu to go into the mountains.

Although the Japs are out in full force this time, we still have to be on guard against them making a feint to the east and attacking in the west!"

Zhao Gang nodded:
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

In this way, the independent regiment was issued guns and ammunition, and Zhang Wu also received 200 rounds of bullets. After intensive training for 5 days and covering the civilians and logistics into the mountains, the entire regiment gathered on the evening of the 5th day.

After Li Yunlong's brief pre-war mobilization, the independent regiment, under the cover of night, headed straight for Xiechaling. (End of this chapter)
