The sword starts with copying the sharpshooter's ability

After receiving the telegram from the Independent Regiment, the brigade commander's eyes lit up and he couldn't help laughing:
"Haha, Li Yunlong did not play this cooperation drama wrong. With only less than 1000 casualties, he achieved a loss ratio of 1:2.3 and also got most of the heavy weapons of the Japanese.

Wow, 6 mountain guns, 1 infantry gun, 24 heavy machine guns... This should account for 7% of the total captured items, right?"

"At least 7%!"

The Chief of Staff laughed and said:

"Li Yunlong has many clever ideas in battle and his reactions are quick. He is the only one who gets the advantage and never suffers any loss!
7% of the spoils were not a big deal. What made him most happy was that his independent regiment seized 4 of the Japanese iron turtles!
And Zhang Wu, not only does he always play a key role in battle, he can also use the Iron Turtle, which is not something that ordinary people can do. He really gave us a big surprise!"

"That's right!"

The brigade commander nodded in agreement and said with a firm look on his face:

"Zhang Wu is really a genius!

Last time Li Yunlong asked me to send a driver to Zhang Wu to learn how to drive a truck. Who knew that after learning how to drive a truck for a long time, he even figured out how to drive a turtle. Haha, if this isn't genius, what is?"

"Yes!"

The Chief of Staff agreed and turned to the topic:
"Look, Zhang Wu has made a great contribution. Li Yunlong is applying for a commendation from the CEO for Zhang Wu!"

The brigade commander agreed without even thinking about it:
"No doubt about it. The Independent Regiment captured the Iron Turtle, which filled the gap in the Eighth Route Army's captured guns. Zhang Wu can also drive, so we can continue to train tank soldiers for the Eighth Route Army!

Just for this reason, I should risk my reputation and apply for a reward from the CEO for Zhang Wu!"

The chief of staff nodded, but suddenly smiled:
"We've been busy running around for Li Yunlong, shouldn't we give him some money for his errands? Li Yunlong has made a lot of money this time, and he's a donkey, so he's very brave. If you don't hold him back, he'll kick you in the face!"

The brigade commander raised his eyebrows, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he waved his hand in an instant:

"Forget it this time. The Japanese are stepping up their formation of two detachments. We have to let this guy kill them all along the way. He must be strong!
We have used ourselves as bait. It would be a great loss if we don’t bite off a big piece of meat from the Japanese!
Let him be proud for two days. Once he defeats the Japanese detachment, I will congratulate him on his fortune!"

The Chief of Staff nodded:

"Then I'll send a message to the division headquarters!"

"Wait a moment!"

The chief of staff was about to turn around and leave when the brigade commander called him back:

"In addition to sending telegrams, find a few people who can drive trucks, receive things quickly, are smart, and can take photos, and send them to Li Yunlong together.

In addition to training tank soldiers for me, I asked him to take pictures of the tanks. Li Yunlong also has a camera. That guy can really seize anything!
We must make good use of these iron turtles, promote our Eighth Route Army, and strike hard at the Japanese devils!"

The Chief of Staff then revealed an even more enlightened expression, and immediately understood why the Brigade Commander did not rob Li Yunlong this time, and there was another reason:

"Okay, I'll make arrangements after I send the report!"

When the chief of staff sent the victory report to the division commander, the division commander couldn't help but curl his lips:
"We have seized four Iron Turtle tanks. Can Zhang Wu drive one? Haha, Zhang Wu has really become the greatest treasure of our 4th Division this time!"

As he said this, he walked quickly towards the boss, handed him the good news, and smiled happily:

"Boss, victory report! Our 129th Division Independent Regiment assisted the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army in completely wiping out the Japanese mopping-up force at Xiechaling in Heyuan. Not only did we achieve a casualty ratio of 1:2.3, we also captured four Japanese Iron Turtle tanks. Now Zhang Wu has driven all of them back to our Eighth Route Army's defense zone!"

Seized 4 iron turtles?

The boss raised his eyebrows, took the message impatiently, and burst into laughter:

"Wow, Li Yunlong is really decisive. In such a large-scale battle, he was able to capture four of the Japanese Iron Turtle Guns intact!
Haha, if I remember correctly, this is the first time that our Eighth Route Army has captured the Japanese's Iron Turtle since the Anti-Japanese War, right? "

"Yes, this is the first time in six years of the war!"

The teacher folded his arms across his chest and said, recalling:

"In fact, we have captured some items before, such as the Pingxingguan victory, but no one knew how to drive it, so we had to give it up! This time we were able to capture it because Zhang Wu drove the Iron Turtle back. This soldier is incredible!"

"Zhang Wu? I know him, the strategic-level sharpshooter from the Independent Regiment!"

The boss kept nodding and sighed:
"Yes, this soldier is really amazing. Driving a tank is different from being a sharpshooter. Both require a lot of money to train. Our Eighth Route Army actually has one. This is the seed of our Eighth Route Army tank soldiers!"

The boss laughed again as he imagined:

"One can train two, and two can become four. Haha, if our Eighth Route Army can form an armored unit, it depends on Zhang Wu!"

Seeing the boss so happy, the teacher took the opportunity to say jokingly:
"Boss, today I would like to ask you to give my teacher Zhang Wu a reward!"

Looking at the teacher in surprise, the boss couldn't help laughing and said:

"It's not easy. You are the famous commander of the 129th Division, but you never ask for help from others. How could you ask me for help one day?"

The commander didn't care at all, and said with a proud expression on his face:
"I can't help it. My soldiers are very capable and have made great contributions. They have even made a hole in the sky. If I don't commend him, I will feel guilty!"

"Haha, now that you've said that, I can't not give it to you, right?"

The boss pointed at the teacher and scolded him with a smile, then he stopped smiling and nodded:
"Well, Zhang Wu really deserves my personal reward!
But don't be happy too soon, you have to let Zhang Wu train a few more tank soldiers, then our Eighth Route Army will form our own armored forces based on the tank soldiers trained by your 129th Division! "The division commander smiled:
"No problem. Our 129th Division will shoulder the responsibility of taking on this important task!"

The boss thought for a moment and continued:

"Oh, by the way, send someone to the independent regiment to take pictures of the Iron Turtle. We need to show the Eighth Route Army's achievements and let the Japanese have fun with us!"

The teacher smiled again:
"it is good!"

In this way, the general's commendation telegram first arrived at the brigade headquarters, and the brigade commander took photos and studied it. The independent regiment's order telegram to step up recruitment was also sent to the independent regiment.

After receiving the telegram, Li Yunlong immediately convened the entire regiment and announced the commendation to Zhang Wu in public, making Zhang Wu the most handsome guy in the independent regiment. At the same time, he took the opportunity to boost morale, select tank soldiers, conduct large-scale training, and recruit soldiers.

Zhang Wuze quietly served as the most handsome guy in his independent regiment, teaching tank soldiers driving techniques.

After the photos of the tanks were taken and published in newspapers with the help of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the Eighth Route Army instantly became famous and its morale was greatly boosted.

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

Upon hearing the news, Kong Jie widened his eyes in shock and even forgot to smoke the pipe in his mouth.

After a while, he reacted and couldn't help but say:
"Oh my god, Zhang Wu is not only an accurate shooter, but he can also drive a tank? My goodness, isn't he too capable?"

772 Regiment position.

Blind Cheng said with a jealous look:

"Li Yunlong is so lucky. Not only does he have a soldier as good as Zhang Wu, but this good soldier also helps him become stronger! He is an iron-clad turtle. Tsk tsk, why don't I have such a good soldier?"

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

When Ding Wei heard the news, he once again showed a look of surprise:

"Oh, if I had known that Zhang Wu was not only an accurate shooter but also could drive a tank, I would have used the weapons and equipment of an entire regiment to keep him here!

With 4 Iron Turtle tanks and so many weapons and equipment seized, if Li Yunlong expands his army, he might be able to attack Taiyuan!"

After thinking for a moment, he said to the Chief of Staff:
"Hurry up and recruit soldiers. The Japanese only have two detachments. We are definitely no match for Li Yunlong. We have to suppress Kong Jie. Otherwise, we will have to sit on the bench!

Such a good opportunity, if we just sit there and watch, we will never regret it later!"

"Yes!"

The chief of staff immediately went down to recruit soldiers.

On the other hand, the morale of the Anhua County Brigade was also boosted, and the brigade commander even found Wu Shuanzi and asked him how his shooting skills were going.

He planned to take advantage of the rising and falling morale to capture the Guoshugou artillery tower.

Wu Shuanzi patted his chest and assured:
"Don't worry, Captain. With so many bullets, I can now hit 400 out of 5 targets at a range of 3 meters. Although my firing rate cannot compare with Zhang Wu's, the sharpshooter, it is definitely enough for small-scale combat!"

"it is good!"

The captain patted Wu Shuanzi on the shoulder and said:

"Let's take action tonight and capture the Japanese's Guoshugou artillery tower. The searchlight and machine gun holes are relying on you!"

Wu Shuanzi stood at attention and saluted:

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!"

Not only them, but also many battalions and district squads in other counties took advantage of the Japanese being attacked to seize artillery towers and strongholds, making the Japanese morale even worse.

Taiyuan, First Army Headquarters.

"They even displayed the Imperial Army's chariots... Damn, the Zhang Wu Independent Regiment, you have such a bad conscience!"

Looking at what was displayed in the newspaper, which was not very harmful but extremely insulting, the Japanese First Army Commander Lieutenant General Terauchi cursed and tore the newspaper to pieces in an instant.

Still not satisfied, he pulled out his general's sword and started hacking and slashing around the office until he had smashed several vases into pieces, chopped off a table corner and two chairs, and dug out the Xiecha Ridge on the map. Only then did things feel a little better.

In order to restore morale, Lieutenant General Terauchi ordered his aides to pack up and immediately ordered the 2th Brigade to speed up the process of splitting up and forming two detachments to reach the periphery of the New st and nd Regiments of the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible.

That’s not all. He also asked the two mixed flight squadrons at Taiyuan Airport and Linfen Airport to be ready. On the day when the two detachments launched the attack, they would go over in advance to carry out bombing to create a bigger momentum and cover Yamamoto Ikki’s decapitation operation!

With the blessing of its rising reputation, the independent regiment, which had already been recruiting soldiers, moved even faster.

In just one month, the Independent Regiment not only replenished the 1000 casualties from the previous battle, but also expanded its force by 1500 people, reaching a total of 5000.
