The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

There was no conversation on the way, and the independent regiment soon reached the east side of Xiechaling.

Xiechaling runs from north to south, with a total length of 8 kilometers. The mountains on both sides have a gentle slope of 15 degrees and sparse vegetation. Only a few intermittent reverse slopes after 180 meters can be used as ambush positions. There are also two mountain streams 600 meters deep in the mountains for hiding troops.

When the independent regiment arrived, the 358th Regiment, relying on its close distance, had already begun to familiarize itself with the position in the west.

Although reconnaissance had been carried out in advance and the terrain was not much different from the map, Li Yunlong still took the battalion and company commanders to walk through it again. In order to prevent the Japanese aircraft from discovering them in advance, he made fine adjustments to the blocking strategy. Only then did he let the battalion and company commanders take their soldiers to familiarize themselves with the terrain, build firing points, mark artillery elements, camouflage the mountain streams, and so on.

Zhang Wu also held his Carl 98K and looked for a suitable sniping point.

The main targets of attack were the Japanese command post and six mountain cannons. He was behind the 6st Battalion, 1 meters away from the highway, and behind a grenade launcher company. There were many rocks and weeds in front of the reverse slope, so it was convenient for him to detour to the front of the main force to attack the tanks and use it as his sniper point.

After telling Li Yunlong the location, Zhang Wu thought for a moment and reminded:

"Captain, I'm too close to the entrance and a bit far from the 358th Regiment's position. If the Japanese planes dive, I must get the 358th Regiment to get close to drive them away. Otherwise, I won't be able to hit them if they exceed the 98-meter effective range of the Karl-800K!"

Li Yunlong agreed directly:
"Okay, I'll go tell him right away, and tell him to be careful of the little Japanese Iron Turtle. If anyone gets into his attack range, don't let us blow him up!"

Zhang Wu nodded, returned to the sniper point, marked the winding path on the reverse slope, and then went to the mountain stream 600 meters away to rest.

Li Yunlong went to find Chu Yunfei to explain the situation.

Chu Yunfei readily agreed to the request as it was related to the battle record and the casualties of the 358th Regiment. However, he was somewhat curious about the tanks and asked:
"Brother Yunlong, why are you interested in the Japanese tanks?

But this tank is not so easy to operate. It requires specially trained tank soldiers and fuel. Otherwise, it is just a pile of scrap metal!"

"Haha, Brother Chu doesn't need to worry about this!"

Li Yunlong said nonchalantly. He would be discovered when he drove away anyway, so he didn't hide anything and directly told Zhang Wu's ability:
"As long as Brother Chu doesn't break that iron turtle, Zhang Wu from my group will be able to drive away!"

Hearing this, Chu Yunfei was shocked:
"Zhang Wu can also drive a tank?"

"What's so hard about this?"

With an expression that this was Zhang Wu's basic operation, Li Yunlong then praised Zhang Wu:

"I, Zhang Wu, am not only good at shooting, but also very good at other things. I am a real genius, proficient in everything!"

Looking at Li Yunlong's appearance, Chu Yunfei was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and he didn't even realize that Li Yunlong had left!

Zhang Wu's amazing shooting skills are already beyond the ordinary, but he can actually drive a tank?!
Although it was already 1943, tank troops were still a high-end technical branch of the military. Not to mention the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, even the large corps of the Central Army did not have many!
Isn’t Zhang Wu too strong?
By then, Zhang Wu wouldn't even have to drive the tank himself. He could just teach the technology to others and train more tank soldiers. Plus, with his ability to capture tanks...

Imagining the independent regiment's tanks rushing towards him, Chu Yunfei's pupils shrank sharply!

We must not have conflicts with the independent group in the future!
This idea was reaffirmed, and he felt that giving weapons and equipment to 2000 people in the independent regiment for free was extremely correct!

After reacting, he looked in the direction of Zhang Wu and couldn't help but sigh:

"Master Zhang Wu is truly a god!"

Fang Ligong next to him was not much better than him. He only reacted after hearing this. He couldn't help but ask:

"Commander, it is said that the cost of training a tank soldier exceeds that of an infantry regiment. If Zhang Wu, the sharpshooter, can even do this, his talent is simply terrifying!"

"Yes!"

Chu Yunfei warned again:

"So our 358th Regiment must not conflict with them!"

Fang Ligong nodded in agreement:
"Yes, Commander, I will restrain the soldiers again!"

On the other side, Zhang Wu didn't know that Chu Yunfei was admiring his strength. He had already entered the mountain stream, found a comfortable place, and began to rest.

After getting familiar with the position, the other soldiers went into the mountain stream to rest.

For the next five days, the independent regiment hid during the day and moved at night, constantly familiarizing themselves with the position. Li Yunlong also set up long-range observation posts, guard posts, messengers and other means of security before he could rest in the mountain stream with peace of mind.

During this period, the Japanese planes kept roaring past their heads, but the direction of their reconnaissance was mainly Shihuling until the day the Japanese arrived.

Knowing that today was the day the Japanese were going to set out, Zhang Wu got up early, ate something, activated all his skills, filled the magazine of the Carl 98K, pulled the bolt to load the bullet, and was ready to attack at any time.

Not long after he was ready, the Japanese plane roared past again and roared back, and the [Warning] began to sound the alarm in his mind:

[Warning, warning, the south is under threat, type: enemy, please respond as soon as possible! Warning, warning...]

coming!

Zhang Wu instantly became alert, holding his gun tightly, waiting for the signal to enter the position. There was a remote observation post, and Li Yunlong got the news before Zhang Wu. When he saw the Japanese scouts, he went in for reconnaissance and did not find the camouflage of the independent regiment. After he passed by, he breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand to let the soldiers enter the position.

After receiving the signal, Zhang Wu also crouched down and quickly entered his sniper point from the mountain stream. He adjusted his shooting posture to a comfortable level and pointed the muzzle of the gun towards the south.

He didn't have to wait long. Six motorcycles led the way, followed by the puppet army. The Japanese soldiers in the county came again, and finally the main force of this mop-up operation, the Dongchuan Regiment, came.

Infantry, mule carts, trucks, machine gunners, grenade launchers, infantry gunners, second lieutenants, first lieutenants, and captains, looking at the rows and rows of Japanese soldiers passing by in front of them, Zhang Wu couldn't help swallowing his saliva:
They are all great experiences!

But what he didn't expect was that after the first battalion of the Dongchuan Regiment passed by, there were actually two tanks mixed in before the second battalion!
This won’t let me enjoy the beating!
The independent regiment's attack target was only half of the second battalion. For the overall strategy, he had to run to the opposite side of the 358th Regiment and destroy the two tanks.

After complaining, Zhang Wu continued according to the original plan, waiting for the Japanese command headquarters to enter the ambush circle.

Finally, after the third battalion passed, the entire regiment headquarters came into Zhang Wu's field of vision, with two tanks in the front, two armored vehicles carrying a colonel, two lieutenant colonels, and three majors in the middle, and a truck pulling six mountain cannons in the back.

His eyes lit up, and Zhang Wu immediately marked out all the Japanese colonel-level officers in the two armored vehicles. He then pointed his gun at Colonel Higashikawa through the observation port, and while following him, he anxiously waited for Li Yunlong's attack order, making sure not to miss the shooting angle.

Fortunately, his attack range was large, and Li Yunlong did not waste any time. After seeing that all the Japanese soldiers had entered the ambush circle, he directly raised the signal gun he had prepared long ago and fired a shot into the sky:
"beat!"

吱

The shrill signal flares flashed red and rose into the sky, sounding the prelude to the Japanese's demise.

Da da da, tong tong, boom boom boom

Seeing the attack signal, the soldiers of the 2nd Regiment, who had already aimed at the target, all pulled the trigger. All kinds of bullets and artillery shells gathered into a rain of bullets, hitting the Japanese in an instant, taking away thousands of their lives in one wave!
With the telescope to take in the overall situation, Zhang Wu was faster. When he saw the red light flash from the muzzle of Li Yunlong's gun, he pulled the trigger directly.

Snapped

Colonel Higashikawa was resting with his eyes closed in the armored vehicle, leaning on a samurai sword and immersed in the joy of promotion, when he was shot in the head by Zhang Wu.

[Ding, kill a Japanese colonel and gain 180 experience points. (1689/16000)]

The colonel is still fat!

Listening to the pleasant prompt tone of the system, Zhang Wu sighed, quickly pulled the bolt to load the bullet, aimed at the lieutenant colonel who had just shrunk his neck next to him, and fired another shot in the same way.

Snapped

The 7.92mm rifle bullet arrived in an instant, and the lieutenant colonel was shot in the head before he could dodge the observation port. He went to meet their emperor with Colonel Tokawa.

[Ding, kill a Japanese lieutenant colonel, gain 120 experience points. (1809/16000)]

Listening to the pleasant prompt tone of the system, Zhang Wu wanted to fight again, but found that the other Japanese lieutenant-level officers had shrunk to the corner of the armored vehicle.

"Damn it, you guys hid fast!"

Zhang Wu spat fiercely, then moved the muzzle of his gun and began to look for the attack angle of the Japanese tanks.

At the same time, the Japanese also reacted.

"Enemy attack!"

While shouting loudly, under the command of commanders at all levels, they threw grenades, used the smoke from the explosions as cover, used mule carts, trucks and tanks as shelter, and used quick-response weapons such as rifles, Type 99 rifles and grenade launchers to build defensive positions.

After the heavy machine guns were assembled, they formed a high and low firepower configuration with the light machine guns and rifles, and grenade launchers provided fire support, and the position was quickly stabilized.

"Sow!"

After hearing the report from the signalman that the position had been stabilized, the Japanese lieutenant colonel who took over the command was relieved. However, he was not satisfied with this. After a little thought, he said to the signalman and the messenger next to him:

"Send a message to the headquarters: the mopping-up troops of Heyuan County were ambushed by the 358th Regiment and the Eighth Route Army at the Xiacha Ridge of Dagu Mountain.

Colonel Tokawa has died, and he suspects there are snipers in the Eighth Route Army, possibly an independent regiment with a total strength of about 10,000 people. He requests the headquarters to send ground support as soon as possible.

Send a message to the battalion in front, telling them that our planes have already taken off and will arrive soon. Ask them to use tanks as cover to attack 358. Let the tanks in the rear cover part of the Second Battalion and the Third Battalion to attack the Eighth Route Army, and try to be the first to connect.

Release smoke bombs around our artillery to help them speed up unloading of vehicles and build artillery positions, and provide artillery support to the front battlefield!

Let our snipers carry out precise sniping on the 358th Regiment and the Eighth Route Army respectively, shoot and kill their middle and low-level commanders, and disrupt their attack rhythm!
Let the warriors hold on, we will form a huge encirclement on the periphery and wipe out all those who dare to ambush the imperial army!"

"Hai!"

The signalman immediately went down to send the message, and the messenger also went down to deliver the message.
